View 1 RepliesMy script is set up to add users to the system. I need to add to each user of a department a file in their home directory with the name of their department (ex. IT department should have a file IT, Engineering should have a file ENGINEERING, etc.) I'm not sure where or how to put this in my script to accomplish this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to ensure I have done all I can to configure a system's disks for serious database use. The three areas I know of (any others?) to be concerned about are: I/O size: The database engine and disk's native size should either match, or the database's native I/O size should be a multiple of the disk's native I/O size. DMA: Disks that are capable of Direct Memory Access (eg. IDE) should be configured for it.
Write-caching: When a disk says it has written data persistently, it must be so! No keeping it in cache and lying about it.
I have been looking for information on how to ensure these are so for CentOS and Ubuntu, but can't seem to find anything at all. I want to be able to check these things and change them if needed. The actual hardware involved is very modest. The point is to get the most out of what hardware we do have, even though it's "not very serious hardware" from a broader perspective.
I am trying to install Gnome remotely via SSH. So far, everything is fine, but desktop-base refuses to install. Here is the output:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a router that is 1000 Base T and two computers each with ethernet cards that support 1000 Base T. All are equipped with Cat 5e cable. Before I had a router that only went up to 100 Base T and I would setup one box with linux running proftpd. On the other box,I would use win xp pro and use firefox to ftp into the other box and download a file. Download speeds went up to 11.2 MB/sec. Now when I switched routers, I expected something like 120 MB/sec but I'm only getting 5.3 MB/sec. What do I need to change?
View 12 Replies View RelatedSince recently I have installed windows (dont worry I will be back to ubuntu soon enough but I've ran into some trouble), I had installed windows on my main hard disk (I couldn't install windows on my 2nd hard disk for some reason).
There were 2 partitions on the main hard disk, 1 which had all my data and another which had all the system fyles for ubuntu on it I believe.
Now I deleted the small system fyle partition and installed windows over it thinking I'd have all my data on the other partition when I needed.
But when I started up ubuntu with a live USB (I had made it prior to deinstalling ubuntu because I wanted to go back asap) and browsed my files, I noticed that I couldn't get to my private data anymore!
The /home/user partition is still there but it only has a file in it which says something like "recover-private-data.desktop" but when I double click it (made it executable) it just pops up a terminal real fast and disappears.
I have a number of queries but will start with one. I presently operate 11.04 Classic (no effects). OS is NOT set up as dual boot. As I am considering purchasing a new Desktop, I am wondering what is the best way to recover such things as folders, Firefox bookmarks etc. for four users.
I do have a external HDD which I guess could be used for a possible backup if that is the way to go! The new computer will probably have Windows 7 installed with which I assume I would probably dual boot.
I have some developers with Desktop User accounts. How can I allow them to delete files owned by www-data which are created under their accounts (/home/username/public_html) by PHP scripts they are coding and testing.I tried to edit www-data user group and add the user as a member of it but this has no effect - the user still unable to delete these files only by creating another PHP script!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a seperate partition for my "/home" folder. Whenever I install a new distro I format my "/" folder.
This way I was able to access my old home data files since I install using a different username. Everything worked fine until last Sunday.
10.10, unlike other versions of ubuntu, has encrypted my old username in my home folder.
Then using this document [url]
I was able to mount my hard drive again. But all the file and folder names are like this.
Btw I don't remember selecting an option to encrypt my old home directory in the first place, what is this ?
I would like to transfer the data from Palm desktop on my windows vista laptop to my Linux netbook. The pda has stopped working so I cannot sync directly from pda to either computers.
Is this possible and if so what software do I need for the Linux and how do I do it, I would need step by step instructions as I am new to Linux and really only use it for web-browsing and skype.
I am under orders from She who must be obeyed that I must fully backup her data as she had a loss of information due to a hard drive failure.Presently I am having her make available her info as shared documents on her XP system and I am copying this data over to my Ubuntu (Karmic) desktop. I would also like to have a USB Hard Drive save the information in order that I can safely store this away from a live system.
So far things are working not too bad but She wishes to have all her backup that was available on DVDs and salvaged from posted material assembled as one complete resource. I can with some effort put this into some semblance of order but do not feel like doing the work twice.I would like some method of easily copying / transferring data to the external HD. Additionally I would like to be able to update data daily and be able to with minimal effort have this synced onto the external HD.
I have just started to learn Java programming and need to be able to use a compatible notepad equivalent in Ubuntu i will need to save the data as is,in Ubuntu and be able to transfer the data from my Linux machine to the windows desktop regularly via memory stick i absolutely love Linux and don't want to have to go back to windows to do this.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and Libreoffice 3.3. My Base is very very slow. I've already tried changing the JRE to the Oracle/Sun latest version and the problem is still there. The problem doesn't seem to be in the file, since I can open it on my Windows 7 Libreoffice, without any problems. Solving this bug is important for me to definitely migrate from Windows to Linux.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEverywhere I read, this seems to come up as a very difficult thing. Just want to record how I did it.
In Access, export the table to an Excel Spreadsheet. Using Openoffice, open the Spreadsheet, but save as an Openoffice (.ods) spreadsheet. ( Note - According to the Base help files, if you import an Excel Spreadsheet, it is read-only)
Open Base and Create a database. No tables, no nothing, just create. Now Open this and and also Open the spreadsheet. Select all the data in the spreadsheet, 'copy' it, and in the Database tables area, 'paste' it. I had problems in that it wanted to create a primary key, so added an extra field.
I then went into the database design view, right click on the appropriate field to make that the primary key, and remove the primary key from the unwanted field.
Delete the excess column. This is just for a single flat table, with no linking to other tables. I hope that this helps someone. I did it for a membership database table, and have been able to replicate the query to filter for the Snailmail folks (Those that did not have an email address in the table). Still trying to figure out how to do an envelopes report though.
I was paring down my installation and did a
Code:
apt-get purge gcc-4.2-base and the command more or less threatened to wipe out everything on the server.
Is that the norm, or is it due to a corrupted package database?

I've recently converted two Ubuntu 10.04 (one 64, one 32bit) machines to LibreOffice. We've used OpenOffice.org since early 2.x The issue is a database file created in OOo and now needing to be accessed in LO. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issue with file compatibility. On the 64 bit machine, (a Ubuntu server installation - not headless) the file opens with no trouble and is fully accessible. (forms, reports, tables, etc.) However, on the 32 bit machine, trying to access the file over the network on the server via samba (because we also have Windows machines on the network, so I serve it all up via samba) I am able to open the database, but get the following error when trying to access any table, form or report: The connection to the data source "Mattress Prices" could not be
established.

I am currently learning an African language. As I have been learning it, I have put together a dictionary, which I made as an openoffice database, so I could search and edit as necessary. Unfortunately, it now has several thousand entries and grinds to a complete halt if I try and search it. For now I have exported the data into a pdf which means I can look words up, but it doesn'tan alternative programme which would cope better with this much data and be easy to set up? Ideally one I can export my current data into.

Now I've just tried to open a new spreadsheet and I'm suddenly getting a highly condensed view. The cells are about 1mm X 4mm. If I expand them by selecting and dragging, then try to copy data from another spreadsheet onto the new one, the data shrinks to the small scale -- unreadable.

i need to know more about openssl.In particular i'm having problems with some basic coammand-line stuff to do with signing and base64 encoding.You'll have to excuse me but i'm a security n00b. What is the command for signing some text file with a given private key and then after that base64 encoding the same file.Can this be done with a single command? what's wrong with:
Code:
openssl rsautl -sign -in textfile -inkey privatekey.pem enc -base64 -in textfile
or should that be:
Code:
openssl rsautl -sign -in textfile -inkey privatekey.pem | openssl enc -base64 -
Lucid Lynx keeps giving me headaches. This is the second update to bork my system. I update my system daily and yesterday's update (July 24th) simply failed to install. It froze on Unpacking replacement files. I left it running and went out, came back 36 hours later and it was still at the same point.
Killed apt, dpkg, then removed the locks (/var/cache/apt/archives/lock and /var/lib/dpkg/lock), ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, and ran the upgrade again. Again it freezes unpacking base-files_5.0.0ubuntu20_amd64.deb. Killed everything again and tried it from the gui and same result.
My system won't update. And since a kernel update is listed among the things to be updated, I am not going to be able to shut down my computer, lest I can't boot it back up. And since the system now sees the unfinished install, I also cant install any new software. Here's where it freezes.
Code:
