If I install Ubuntu onto a USB, and plan to use it on different computers, can I force it to do a fresh driver detect? Or does it do it already?
I heard a persistent LiveUSB does a fresh driver detection everytime, but I heard it can't be upgraded properly? If I keep my home folder on another partition, would I be able to upgrade the LiveUSB properly and normally?
I have been struggling to get Linux on my main business computer. These two programs really trip me up as I can not really find alternatives to them[URL].. are the programs, I have found an online business plan program called planhq.com that can kind of replace Business plan pro, but I still need better financials. Neither program works under WINE at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI plan to install SlackBuild: virtualbox-ose (3.2.10) on my stand alone laptop.The following are excerpts from the SlackBuild Readme file and I was hoping that someone might have the time to clarify a few things:
"By default VirtualBox will be compiled with hardening enabled. That means all binaries will be run suid root, which is the default behaviour of upstream packages. However, you are still able to disable this by passing HARDENING=no to the script."Why would I want to do this? If I did want to do this, how do I pass 'HARDENING=no' to the script? What script?
Edit: I found something on this and see that I'll just include my user in the proper group and I should be ok.'To compile virtualbox without the Qt4 GUI pass QT4=no to the script'I have a package called: qt-4.6.2_2d3d3e5-i486-1 installed - does this mean that I have Qt4 installed?'To enable the webservice pass WEBSERVICE=yes to the script. This adds gsoap to the list of required dependencies.'Why would I want to do this? If I did want to do this, how do I pass 'WEBSERVICE=yes' to the script? Also, to do this I would have to install gsoap first, right?'If you want to attach VirtualBox to a VDE network you will need vde2.I don't need this for my stand alone world, right?This requires acpica, and the virtualbox-kernel package is needed at runtime.'Does this mean that VDE network requires acpica or that this SlackBuild require acpica?
Instead having a large desktop environment why dont we use the desktop environment from plan 9.

Some people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to ensure they can communicate with families back home. I know nothing about VPNs so I have some questions.
1. Is VPN some kind of software that you can install on 2 computers to have a secure communications?
2. Is there something in Ubuntu's Software Center that I should try?
3. If China is cracking down on external communication, is VPN the best tool to ensure communication back home?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to use my full Ubuntu install as a PXE boot server for other computers. The aim is to get the client computers into a basic Linux/Ubuntu shell with access to various util commands such as sfdisk, fdisk, ntfsclone and probably a few others (sshfs comes to mind as I type this)
The client computers do not need Xwindows of any sort. Just shell and preferably boot as fast a possible without user intervention until a command prompt. I have seen guides on setting up Ubuntu as a PXE server, but not sure;
a) what variant of Ubuntu/Linux is best for the clients
b) how to make the pxe server, serve up whatever variant is suggested in (a).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a portable 320 GB USB HP SimpleSave external hard drive, and I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop to use on both of my computers when Windows is letting me down. The last time I tried to install 10.04 a week after it came out, I was presented with tons of errors, even though I did it the same exact way I did it with 9.10 that worked. I would like some help on the subject of installing them on usb hard drives. Most the time, it's GRUB being antsy about where it's installed. IF I don't change where to install GRUB, it won't let me boot on any other computer, or USB port.

I am new to virtualization and I am working on putting an Internal Virtualization plan in place. Under what circumstances is VMWare Virtualization and/or RHEV and/or Xen and/or Microsoft Hyper V is better over the rest.

My laptop has only Debian on it. Except for /boot, the entire hard drive is a giant encrypted LVM partition. It takes Clonezilla 13 hours to back up to a USB hard drive without verification, long enough to make sure backups aren't done much. Is there some way to make an encrypted bare-metal backup of only what is used (except swap) instead of every sector? Backing up across the LAN would be ok.
View 6 Replies View RelatedA bit clumsy subject, but I would like to make a script, which is able to send and receive email messages from CLI. The script should work like this:
1. read user input from stdin(for example a mail address)
2. send mail over SMTP(SSL, port 465) to a mail server
3. mail server sends an automatic response, script should just display this response email sent from mail server over IMAP(port 993)
At the moment I have a fallowing configuration in my Thunderbird:
Code:
IMAP mail.domain.com SSL 993
SMTP mail.domain.com SSL 465
Is it possible with 'mail' utility? Do I need to configure some sort of MTA at first(I use SUSE and I have Sendmail installed by default)? What are the steps, to get this script working?
