I configuring samba under Fedora 12, i just set in samba dialog Server Settings->Security and choose guest account: apache. The account is exist io the Samba Server, now i try to login from Windows to Linux share, server asks me login and password, however when i set apache as login and not set password, server asks me login again as the password is incorrect.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity 2D running smooth on my machine. I decided to give LXDE a run so I installed the packages from USC. After rebooting the PC, I was expecting to have a list of options on the GDM where I could select LXDE or Lubuntu. But the Session options do not appear in GDM. I selected Lubuntu in my Login Screen Settings but it still logs into Unity 2D after reboot (I've tried options LXDE, Lubuntu Netbook but results the same.) Here is a screenshot of my Login Screen Settings:

So, here's the question: How do I log into LXDE (or any other DE for that matter)? Why doesn't GDM show session options?

Is this an ubuntu issue?
in the past i always used debian for servers only (mainly webservers, routers and antispam gateways), but now i have to develop some application for linux so i installed it on a desktop (have always been running windows on my desktops). i am running testing (mainly because i need some more recent packages and working with stable i find myself using backports most of the time). now i have seen that the standard used web browser is iceweasel (which according to sources i found is a firefox fork) but this browser seems to have some troubles:
- videos : always gives me an error in the video frame and i have to clear my cookies and reload the page to make it work for every single video i watch. embedded ..... vids work fine.
- gmail : as soon as i open my gmail account on any tab or iceweasel window all other windows are unuseable (show blank as if the application crashed) but gmail works fine. as soon as i close the iceweasel window where gmail is running all other windows are doing normal again.
- lots of pages display very poorly on iceweasel (misplaced div's, ... etc) : this is nearly always on pages where you find overlayed advertising in div's so i guess this is mainly dued to poor coding of those junk adds (i can live with that).
is there any alternative to iceweasel. especially the gmail part is very annoying, the rest i could live with (but prefer not to). i googled the web for those problems but i mostly found that these problems occured because of some extension (for example : ad blocker) but i don't use those so it didn't solve my problem.
So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyway since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 when I right-click on something and there is another menu in that menu, it doesn't show up for the first time!
for example if I want to create a an "Empty File", I'll right-click on desktop and when I want to go to "Create Document" menu, it doesn't show up! so I must click somewhere else and try again so for the second time it works!!
Im pretty sure this is trivial to config, but I havent had any luck searching on google.My situation is: I want to forward any emails sent to my domain to another account. So:

I configured it to use IMAP to access our exchange 2010 server front end on a LAN connection. Our webmail connection is segregated behind Forefront, so it was not connecting/authing that way. Even though smartphones have no problem. (sidenote, is there an activesync linux mail client ?)
I have many root folders and several folders underneath my inbox. total mailsize in inbox is 3.5 GB without subfolders. The sent is likewise as large. And is likewise empty.

I have both Ubuntu and Windows XP installed on this computer. This isn't that big of a problem, but I would like to know if there's any way to remove the other four or so boot options for Ubuntu and leave only the 'standard' boot options for Ubuntu and Windows XP. I am new to Linux so I doubt I'll be using those any time soon so I'd like to have them out of my way for the time being.

Im trying to make backups using tar, and incremental backups using --newer. The scripts are:
Code:
tar -czvf $DISKPATH/backupRepos.tgz /home/repos/ --exclude /home/repos/Temp
for general backup (on saturdays)
and
Code:
tar -czvf --newer="`date -r $DISKPATH/backupRepos.tgz +%F`" $DISKPATH/backupRepos-inc.tgz /home/repos/ --exclude /home/repos/Temp/ for incremental the rest of the week.
The problem is that the first script runs OK, excluding /home/repos/Temp from the backup, but on the second, it makes incremental OK, but doesnt exclude Temp folder. Anybody knows how can i fix this script to continue making incremental but excluding also?

I just downloaded the Release candidate, for 10.04, and as I was testing it on VirtualBox, I notice that the LiveCD option, (or Test ), is missing? Should I re-download, or it's an error from VBox?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI seem to get different options depending on the user. On my main, admin user, when I click on the `power button` icon on the right of my taskbar, I get a choice of:
shutdown
restart
suspend
hibernate
and if I want to log off I click on the start button.but when I log on as my `guest` user, who has next to no permissions, I get log off, switch user etc on the `power button` icon. It would be nice to have all these options on the `power button` icon on my admin user. Can this be achieved? Why are they different?
I've got an odd problem with the keyboard layout options.
I use caps as an additional control, as set in Keyboard Preferences > Layout > Options. However, I recently came across an issue where Shift + Space does not send space, so I go into the options to set space at any level to fix it, and while the option appears to have been selected, there is no change in behavior.
Whats going on?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had bought a new wifi card(rtl8185) and spent 2 days trying to make it work. I finally got it working but now I am experiencing some other problems.
First of all I get two many bootup options. Before I used to have 4 generic options(2 different kernels with each of them having their own recovery), memtest and then my win7. Now I am having those plus 4 server options and 4 preemp(no clue what this is) options. I am suspicious that this has to do with some command I ran: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-* I got some notify at that point about broken packages. I followed the instructions given and made the messages dissapear(I don't remember excactly what I did). Then when I saw that it shows all those bootup options I tryied sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-server and sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-preemp but that didn't solve anything.
My second problem is that in startup now even if I choose the generic option it doesn't load the gui but just gives me the command prompt so I have to run startx each time. I am kind of a noobie in linux but would like to learn so please give me some guidance. I thought of reinstalling a fresh copy of Ubuntu-desktop but it's just too hard work. So I would be grateful if you could tip me on how fixing the problem as it is. I run Ubuntu 10.04 x64
Title pretty much says it. As you can see from my screenshot, my effects list is far shorter than it's supposed to be, a quarter the size of what I had on my hardy desktop. The main effects that are driving me insane not having are 3D windows, e.g. windows hover above the desktop cube in order of use, and water sloshing around in the cube as I rotate it. Are these now options under an effect? I couldn't find them anywhere. Running 32 bit lucid on a laptop with a good graphics card.
