I know I can add the -i to an ssh command to choose an alternate ssh key:
ssh -i /path/to/private/key user@remote
Is there a way to permanently set the alternate key file location so I can just:
ssh user@remote
Issue is that this is a dual boot Win and Ubuntu, and I store all my data (keys also) on a separate partition.
I am just wondering is there any other altrenate location which saves the history command logs other that bash_history file.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've set up ssh passwordless logins using keygen etc.before so I know the routine.
The problem I'm currently having is setting passwordless logins when I don't have write permission to my "root" of the remote machine. More specifically the slice provided by a commercial web hosting provider. I can ssh and sftp just fine keying in the password manually but since I'm unable to create a .ssh directory in my "root" I'm unsuccessful in scripting logins. What I'm wondering is if the .ssh directory and associated security files can be placed in an alternate location such as the httpdocs directory and pass that location to ssh in a command line parameter.
While I trying to install Linux cable driver following error occurred.

I'm working with a program that uses Open Motif to create all of the widgets, including the Open File dialog box (obviously). However, Open Motif being kinda old-timey, 80's vintage, and for the most part now an abandoned project, it is quite clunky. So, actually what I need to do is to open some files located on my work server. I have already successfully connected to the relevant server directories with Samba, and with programs built with GTK+ (such as GIMP) I can open files across the network because I have created a bookmark in Nautilus, and those bookmarks appear in the Open File dialog box created by GTK+. Now, Open Motif is different: it doesn't see network locations, orNautilus shortcuts. When I type "smb://serveripyadayada" in the search folder, it really doesn't like it and complains. So, what do I do? Can I get somehow Open Motif to open a network location? Or can I do a run-around and place a shortcut in the file system that points to the network location?

Anyway I am missing the possibility of writing manually the folder you want to go on nautilus using the Location bar. It was used to have some kind of icon which you can click and it switched between graphich breadcrumbs or the location of the folder and you could changed it manually, you know what I mean?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Centos 5.5 system with 2* 250 gig sata physical drives, sda and sdb. Each drive has a linux raid boot partition and a Linux raid LVM partition. Both pairs of partitions are set up with raid 1 mirroring. I want to add more data capacity - and I propose to add a second pair of physical drives - this time 1.5 terabyte drives presumably sdc and sdd. I assume I can just plug in the new hardware - reboot the system and set up the new partitions, raid arrays and LVMs on the live system. My first question:
1) Is there any danger - that adding these drives to arbitrary sata ports on the motherboard will cause the re-enumeration of the "sdx" series in such a way that the system will get confused about where to find the existing raid components and/or the boot or root file-systems? If anyone can point me to a tutorial on how the enumeration of the "sdx" sequence works and how the system finds the raid arrays and root file-system at boot time
2) I intend to use the majority of the new raid array as an LVM "Data Volume" to isolate "data" from "system" files for backup and maintenance purposes. Is there any merit in creating "alternate" boot partitions and "alternate" root file-systems on the new drives so that the system can be backed up there periodically? The intent here is to boot from the newer partition in the event of a corruption or other failure of the current boot or root file-system. If this is a good idea - how would the system know where to find the root file-system if the original one gets corrupted. i.e. At boot time - how does the system know what root file-system to use and where to find it?
3) If I create new LVM /raid partitions on the new drives - should the new LVM be part of the same "volgroup" - or would it be better to make it a separate "volgroup"? What are the issues to consider in making that decision?

I followed [URL]. but the upgrade dialog is not displayed even when I run

I've got the alternate ISO (32 bit) burned on CD and booted from it (on a Windows laptop) but don't see an option except possibly 'rescue a broken system'.
Im running Ubuntu 10.10 right now, and I'm having a few difficulties.One of them is that my netbook (HP Mini 210) has a "clickpad" instead of a conventional touchpad, so right clicking in ubuntu has become an issue, i don't know why.To right click something, I've got to carefully navigate my finger to the bottom rightmost part and tap it lightly. 9 out of 10 times i fail, so can i have an alternate, for example, pressing Ctrl and Left Clicking (to simulate a right click?)In ubuntu 9.04 (or was it 8.04, can't remember) the topmost panel had 3 buttons, Applications, System and something else.Can I get those back in 10.10?
my Desktop background isn't showing me any icons. it's like it's locked (similar to the Show Desktop Icons in windows) can I remove that?And why can't I add/remove panels? or make them transparent or anything?
have been trying for many hours to install Ubuntu 9.10, on a system that already had 9.10 installed on it at one point (so I know it should work!) I am using an alternate install, from a USB thumb drive. I use the alternate so I can encrypt the hd. Everything goes smoothly until I am to select extra packages to be installed. The only package I select is the ubuntu-desktop, and around 80% progress, or so, it fails. I then try and complete the base install, and then login to the command prompt and install there:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktopIt then requests the Ubuntu disc, which of course I don't have. It has a landline internet connection. Do I need to configure something to tell it to look to the mirrors to find the desktop? Or, should it have been included in my iso image originally
I've upgraded to the new 10.04, and when I have the Alternate CD in, it shows on my desktop, and I can search all the contents of the CD, so I know it's registering. But when I try to install anything, via the terminal, .deb packages, synaptics package manager, it always asks me to insert the CD. Then I click ok and it says it's not mountable, even though I know it is because it's on my desktop.

I searched the forums and used hours googling this, so sorry if there`s already a topic about this. Here is my problem: I do not have a broadband connection, I actually have to log on the internet using my android as a wi-fi hotspot, works great, except that it is slow and unstable (download rate at 19kb/s), I just re-installed ubuntu 10.04, the first thing you do is to update, so I set it to update, then went to sleep, it said to be finished in 2 hrs ( yeah..I know), during the night I lost the connection to the internet and it was ALL lost..everything, even what was already downloaded, so my question is, is there another way of updating the system so that I don`t loose all I have already downloaded in case my connection go a.w.o.l ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm downloading the iso images for 9.10 Alternate CD. As the desktop does not work, graphical. For whatever reason even once it starts to boot live (With no direct install) it says in the "boot terminal" (non-graphical, full screen) as I call it "Authentication Failure even bEFORE the actual program is loaded. Asks me for username / password which does not exist, etc. I'm sick of windows. I used Ubuntu for about a week and fell in love.
Windows is poppy-cosh, compared to the speed, performance, customization, updates, few errors and bugs, everything is superb! I already converted my fiance and best friend to using the OS in Dual-Boot I'll be an avid supporter and do even more using my media company to help promote xD What's the point? Wine allows me to use all the programs I need that require windows, regardless.. You have converted me. "If you build it, they will come." Amazing job.
I tried re-installing windows and to no-evail for whatever reason screwed up my entire re-installation of Ubuntu. Instead of saying Owner it says Administrator for the new install. Here's my list:
1.) I need to completely wipe out all partitions and start over with a "fresh" HDD. Any ideas how to do so without an OS? It was suggested on wiki answers to use BootDisk.com
2.) I have the torrent downloading which is 689.6MB [URL] and the normal ISO which is 690MB [URL] from two different Ubuntu.com pages...Which do I use? Why are they two different file sizes? I assume the larger file size is the best to use. This has happened when downloading the Desktop CD as well. The lesser file never worked properly. Do you guys have incomplete files on the server or something or perhaps just my hardware?
3.) Use alternate installer to have Ubuntu as the ONLY OS. Alternate Option: Put Ubuntu alternate cd installer onto my external HDD by Seagate and boot up to it, then install ubuntu...
