Ubuntu :: Where To Find Primary And Secondary DNS?

Nov 8, 2010

My question is that simple, how can I find out what is my primary and secondary DNS? I've tried commands: $ cat /etc/resolvconf and less /etc/resolv.conf but they didn't work. Also, when I open the resolv.conf file, it only says code...

Ubuntu Installation :: Moving HD From Secondary To Primary?

Jan 18, 2010

Currently I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on an older P4 system with EIDE harddrives. My primary HD has a WinXP installation and GRUB. Ubuntu is installed on the secondary HD.

I am happy enough running Ubuntu that I would like to remove my WinXP disk, move the disk with Ubuntu on it to be the primary boot drive, and then install a new drive as the secondary.

However when I tried to simply move the drive with Ubuntu on it from the secondary to the primary EIDE position the system would not boot. I assume that this is because there is no boot loader currently on that drive.

how do I put GRUB on the Ubuntu drive so that it can become the boot drive? Or is there some other way to accomplish what I am after without having to reinstall Ubuntu?

OpenSUSE :: Swapping Between Primary And Secondary Language?

Aug 15, 2011

How do you swap between primary and secondary languages for the keyboard (using GUI not terminal codes since this is for someone else who is a beginner at computing)? I installed the secondary language in the "language" section of yast, but can't see any options for swapping on the fly. Lets say they do 99% of stuff in english, but get an email they want to respond to in the secondary language or want to write a text document using the secondary language, is there a way to switch back and forth on the fly?

General :: Primary / Secondary Ethernet Interfaces Via NetworkManager

Mar 12, 2010

I have an Ubuntu 9.10 machine with three ethernet interfaces, eth0, eth1 and eth2. eth2 is connected to a private network. eth0 and eth2 are connected to two different LANs. Either one will provide access to the internet. All three networks have DHCP servers. Using Ubuntu's the default settings (And Gnome), when I boot up all the interfaces are active and my system gets three IP addresses. However any attempt to access the internet results in connection timeouts and other weirdness.

I suspect that traffic is going out on one NIC (like eth0) and coming back in on another (like eth1). I'm not sure what's going on. The only way I can access the internet at the moment is to bring two of the devices down with ifdown. How can I configure eth0 as my primary interface so all trafic goes out by default on that interface, while keeping the other two active? Also, I want to make sure Avahi broadcasts properly on all three IPs so that the computers on the LAN of eth1 can still connect to myHostname.local...

Here's my routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
172.16.151.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
172.16.30.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.1.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 172.16.30.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.1.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

I want the 172.16.30.2 network to be the primary one and the 10.1.0.0 network to be the secondary one. My nameservers are also incorrect. It seems like Ubuntu is bringing the networks up in order, eth0, then 1, then 2, and the DHCP information from eth1 is overriding eth0, and eth2 is overriding eth1. How can I reverse this so the DHCP information from eth0 is the "master"? This seems to be an issue with Gnome's NetworkManager.

General :: SSD As Primary Or Secondary Drive On A Small Server?

Jun 6, 2010

I'm pensioning off my 10-years-old home server and replacing it with an Ubuntu 10.04 box. The two storage devices are a Western Digital Caviar Green 2.0TB HD and an Intel X25-M 34nm Gen 2 80GB SATA II 2.5inch SSD (the box has 8GB RAM and an i5 750, if it matters).

I don't care much about boot times (since I don't plan to reboot all that often;-); the main frequent, performance-demanding task will be (re)building large open source C or C++ software packages from sources (as an open source contributor, I do that often).

So, I thought I'd keep the SSD as the secondary drive and the HD as the primary one, using the SSD mostly for the files that can otherwise demand a lot of seeking (esp. in a parallel make).

However, the friendly vendor (perhaps more experienced in Windows systems than in Linux ones) thinks the "normal" way to configure the machine would be with the SSD as the primary drive. I'm pretty rusty on configuring and tuning systems, so, I thought I'd better double check on SuperUser.

OpenSUSE :: Apps Opening On Secondary Monitor Not The Primary Screen

Feb 9, 2010

I have openSUSE 11.2 KDE with NVIDIA drivers. I have a TV on the left and a monitor on the right. In the Nvidia drivers this has also been setup as stated. The TV is on position 0:0 and the monitor is in position 1920:0. The monitor has been ticked in the drivers as the primary screen.

My problem is that all application open on the secondary screen and not the primary screen (monitor) as I expect. How to the OS/drivers that will ensure that application always open on the monitor situated on the right are welcome.

Ubuntu :: Using Secondary Partitions And HDD

Aug 28, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an old HP Pavilion 710 PC, dual-booting with WinXP. I followed instructions and successfully partitioned my primary hard drive, and installed Ubuntu just fine (I think--everything seems to work, anyway).

Here's my partition setup:

Code:

Code:

The secondary disk is strangely set up for unrelated reasons, and I haven't done anything to it since moving to Ubuntu. My plan is to keep most of my data on that disk, and use the primary disk for system files and applications, but I don't yet understand how Ubuntu decides where to keep things, so I haven't done anything with that disk yet.

Here are my questions:

1. I want to run a MySQL database locally, to test a php/MySQL web site I'm developing. I thought it would be a good idea to set aside a partition just for the database, which is what /dev/sda7 is supposed to be; but I have no idea how to make Ubuntu or MySQL use that partition. (I'm also brand spanking new to MySQL, or I'd probably know.) How do I do that?

2. It occurs to me now that I ought to put the database on my secondary hard drive, which is much bigger and faster than the primary. If the answer to #1 doesn't tell me, how do I do that?

3. My home directory is on /dev/sda right now. Can I move my data files to /dev/sdb without moving the whole home directory? Or must I move everything and keep it all together in one directory?

Ubuntu :: Booting From Secondary HD?

Sep 18, 2010

I have an HP computer which I recently installed Ubuntu on with a secondary HD that I installed. I set this new hard drive as the primary hard drive and it was working fine booting up GRUB and asking if I wanted to use Windows 7 or Ubuntu. This morning, however, it has stopped doing this and goes straight into Windows 7. If I go into the boot menu and tell it to boot with the primary hard drive it will go into GRUB, but otherwise it seems as if it is going straight to my secondary HD with Windows 7 on it. This seems weird since up until today it was working fine.

Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? I tried reinstalling Ubuntu but that didn't change anything.

Ubuntu :: Missing All Files On Secondary Drives?

Jan 28, 2010

My system is setup like this: 1 250 gb HDD, with a 20 gig partition for /, 200 gigs for /home and the rest is a swap file. I also have a 1 TB (ext3) and 1.5TB (ext4) hard drive that are also installed, mounted to /Shared_1TB and /Shared_15TBI just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and everything seemed to be fine. I installed all the updates, install the Nvidia proprietary drivers and got my HDMI audio working. I went to try and play a video to see what would happen.... there are no files in /Shared_1TB. It is totally blank. I tried making myself the owner, and while this worked it didn't help anything. I tried unmounting and remounted, however it kept saying it was busy and wouldn't remount it. At this point I was a little panicked, so I threw in a LiveCD and low and behold once I mount it in the LiveCD all my files are there.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using DSL Gateway As Secondary Router?

Mar 4, 2010

I live on a property with 3 other units and we all share a cable connection. There's a modem connected to a wireless router (I'll call it the "main" router), which until recently I connected to with an 80' or so long ethernet cable because I don't get a good signal, and all I've got is a desktop anyway. When plugged directly into the main router, I can get very fast download speeds - the fastest I've seen over bittorrent, for example, is about 2.2 Mb/s, and it's over 1 Mb/s most of the time for popular torrents or sites with good bandwidth. A friend with a laptop is staying with me for a month, so I wanted to set up a wireless router in my home, and my desktop needed to be moved to a location where running a wire is kind of awkward, so I planned on using the wireless too.

I don't have a spare proper router with an uplink port laying around, but I did have a spare DSL modem/wireless router combo (which I'll call the "secondary" router) that I used to use at a former residence, and I thought I'd try to use it here. I plugged it into my computer, configured its security settings how I wanted (64-bit WEP) and looked through for settings that seemed like they might pertain to using it in this capacity. I didn't really find any except for something that seemed to turn off its DHCP, which I did. Then I unplugged my computer and plugged in the ethernet cable that runs to the main router (which is a normal ethernet cable, not crossover). I found that this setup does "just work" for the most part - our computers see the signal and can log in and access the internet through the main router's cable connection. However:

1. I can't figure out how to access the secondary router's settings once it's been plugged into the main one, even if I unplug it from the main one. What happens is that as soon as I connect the two routers together, it's almost like the secondary ceases to exist independently until it's settings are purged via the reset button. I plug it's IP address into a browser like usual, and nothing happens (it's an Actiontec whose stock one is 192.168.0.1 and the main router is a Netgear with an IP of 192.168.1.1).

I can log into the main one like normal through a wireless connection to the secondary, though. If I look at "attached devices" in the main router's config, it lists all the client computers in the network, but there's no IP that could be for the router (I'm sure of this). Each computer connected through my secondary router gets assigned its own IP like normal, and port forwarding works without a hitch. Again, this persists until the secondary is reset - after the two routers are connected but until the secondary is reset, there doesn't to be a way into the secondary's config. The security settings are acting as they should, though (ie, you need the secondary's WEP key to log on).

2. Internet download speeds when connected to the secondary over wireless are extremely slow compared to what the connection is capable of (can't seem to top 90 Kb/s) but for some reason the max attainable internet upload speed seems to be about the same as normal (around 200 Kb/s). This is puzzling to me. Back when I was using the secondary router for it's intended purpose as a DSL gateway under XP, I downloaded at around 300 Kb/s all the time with it using the same wireless card I am now, so I know the hardware I have is capable of it. Now both of our wireless cards are getting the same mediocre speeds (seemingly bottlenecked at around 90 Kb/s), even with a full signal (ie, the computer right next to the router).

If we connect to the secondary router with a cable rather than wireless, there's no problem and downloads are really fast (note again though that the max upload speed doesn't seem affected whether wired or wireless, as determined by running internet speed tests in both configurations). Ping times over wireless are also extremely high - ie, 800ms+ even when pinging the main router at 192.168.1.1.

It almost seems like there's something inferior or bottlenecked about the wireless signal the secondary router puts out, but I don't know what that could be or how to change it. (I also don't really understand anything about the setup I created here though, other than that I plugged it in and crossed my fingers and it works for basic, non-bandwidth-intense tasks). basically I'm curious whether there's a way to have normal access to the secondary router's settings in this setup, and whether there's a way to make the bandwidth over wireless less mediocre.

Ubuntu :: Secondary Hd Permission Denied On All Executes?

I completely switched to Ubuntu 6 months ago. I kept my secondary sata hd as ntfs for a while but started having permission problems. I switched it to ext4 and that worked for a while but then it started having permission problems again. Specifically, I can't execute anything on that hd drive. I converted it to ext2 and it still didn't help. I have 2 executable modules that I moved up to the root directory to make this simple and they look like this:

tom@tom-desktop:/media/sda1$ ls -l

Ubuntu :: Need Grub To Pass On Some Commands To Secondary OS

Jul 29, 2011

So, I have a netbook with a 320GB harddrive and I'm testing all kinds of fun distros out. Right now I have 11.04, 11.10 daily, Jolicloud, Chromium OS, and MeeGo. Meego uses it's own weirdass boot loader, which sets things up a certain way. My computer has a touchscreen, and I had to modify some things to get it all working properly. Anyway, I reinstalled grub on my main partition (11.04), but now the command I need doesn't go through to meego.

The command is "usbhid.quirks=0x0eef:0x725e:0x40" For my other systems, I have it in /etc/default/grub in the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" line.

Obviously there is nothing like this in Meego, and a thread on their forum said I would have to configure it in whichever bootloader I'm using.
