I'm running karmic koala 9.10I installed cups-pdf and it now shows as the default in my printer list, but when I choose the file type drop down from the printer dialog box it only has ps as an option so when I save it I end up with a post script file not a pdf.
View 3 RepliesI did the big update just now and then another update popped up right away. The update is about creating a common metadata repository. I can't see the official name of the application it's trying to install/update. Anyway, when I try to do the update, I get an error that says, "createrepo-0.9.9-4.fc15.noarch requires yum >= 3.2.29-8 : Success - empty transaction"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded three iso-images, 1 dvd-image and 2 cd-images:
openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso
openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso
openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso
Being paranoid, I created iso-files from the burnt DVD-R and the two burnt CD-R to verify integrity.
The iso-file of the DVD-R was identical to the downloaded image. Both iso-files created from the CD-R were different in size.
The original size of openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso is 719.323.136 Bytes.
I only got 718.938.112 Bytes when recreating an ISO-file from my CD-R.
The CD-R is from Sony. When the length of my ISO-file doesn't correspond to the downloaded one, the checksum file verification doesn't work.

After it installs, I want it to automatically read the device's MAC address and change the hostname to match the MAC address with the separators removed.

We're having an issue with HTTP POST file uploads on our two Ubuntu PCs. For some reason, whenever one of our users attempts to submit a file in an HTML form, the request times out, usually with a 500 Internal Server Error message. This problem is not limited to one site, but occurs on all sites that use file uploads. Also, the problem does not appear to be with our network, as a Windows 7 PC on the same network can upload files to the same sites without any difficulties. The problem is not browser-specific; we have tested with Firefox, Epiphany, and Google Chrome and all produce the same results. The issue is relatively new, and was first observed within the last month; before this time, both machines had no problems uploading files.
Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing this? I've tried a number of things, including rebooting the PCs, rebooting the network, disabling IPv6, etc. I'm not very experienced in Linux system administration, but I can use the terminal and am familiar with some terminal-based diagnostic tools, so if you need any additional info or want me to try something, please let me know! I've exhausted my own computer knowledge with regards to finding a solution to this problem.

I agree deleting .Xauthority files work, but thats not a good solution. I mean, everytime I have to run any X forwarding application I have to delete the .Xauthority file. Here is my scenarioThe applications that I want to run are on Linux Server [NFS] and the client machines [CIFS] that are having problem in locking theXauthority files are Macs which share the same domain as that of client solaris machine. i.e. The home directory of particular user on Solaris & the home directory of that user on Mac have same contents.When I ssh -X from Solaris to the server, everything works fine, no error messages.When I ssh -X from MACs to the server, I get the following warning messages.

/usr/X/bin/xauth is the path on the server. If I try to break the lock by sudo

just curious, this might not be possible, but is there any way with ajax to open an ftp connection, download a file and then turn around and POST it to a web server? the reason i ask is because i'm writing a script on a shared hosting plan that doesn't give me permission to directly talk outbound on the ftp port but i need to synchronize a file from a csv on an ftp server, this means i have to do the process manually, is there any way i can just click the button and let my browser do the work?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHaving spent weeks perfecting my Ubuntu the way I like it, I was wondering if there is a way of preserving it as a either a liveCD or USB flash drive, with a view of using it on other PC's activated upon start up?
Possibly (under the USB option) with the option of launching from the flash drive itself, or installing onto a PC's hard drive.So, in essence, it would be a liveCD but custom made to reflect the way my Ubuntu looks and feels now? Is there any easy-to-use software available to perform such a task?

Here is the deal: my school purchased a test prep which they distributed to us, the only problem is that it is for windows. When I try to run the exe in wine the program windows pops up but the screen is blank (i can see the menu bar and and the title bar). It appears that most of the information is located in a folder as html files (separated into chapters for each section) with links to all the figures/tables/questions
(also html files). This morning I have been trying to find a way to compile the html files into a format that I can read without having to hunt for each individual html file. I tried navigating with firefox but had to change each individual link before I could do that (very time consuming), I tried using doxygen (the GUI front end) to convert it to Latex/rtf/html/xml (all the formats) but did not have any success (It could be that I am using the app wrong). I tried opening some java applications found within the application data folder in hopes that it would bring up the navigator without success. And even tried installing java in wine (unsuccessfully) to see if that was the missing key to run the program in wine.
My question is, do I just have to fork out the $500+ that it would cost me to purchase the books instead of using the school provided program (free to us)? or is there a relatively simple way to compile these files into a format that could be readable.
tl;dr - have multiple html files for a windows native program that won't run on wine that I would like to convert to a more easily readable format (i.e. chm, pdf, etc), is it possible?the program was legally acquired through my school, I did not download or pirate it. I am not looking to distribute it, just looking to use it for my own studying purposes without spending $500+ or buying a windows license/computer.
I am trying to use puttygen to create a ppk file that I can use with putty. I try to import the private key and it gives me the error: Couldn't load private key (ciphers other than DES-EDE3-CBC not supported). Now I obviously know this is telling me that I have the wrong cipher, but what what do I do to use the correct one? Here are the instructions that I used to create the keys.
Also, when I open the key this is the top:
- BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY -
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC
and then some other stuff that I don't think I should share. But the weird thing (to me atleast) is that it lists CBC right at the top there which is what puttygen wants. Why won't it accept it?
