Networking :: Netbook Acting As A Server And As A Switch?
Dec 14, 2010
I want to use 2 network cards on a notebook (one internal and one by USB). I don't want the typical "internet sharing", so I want it to act really as a switch:
Other room <== 1Gb/s ==> Notebook <== 100Mb/s ==> network switch with more computers.
I want to do it because i want to use the 1Gb/s link from the other room to the "servers" room, and then the rest of servers will run at 100Mb/s. I wanna all my computers in the same network, like there's no notebook in the middle, so the Notebook will act as a switch (and a server). i wanna (assumming all of this is possible): Code: > [network switch] 1Gb/s
> 192.168.2.1 [router] 100Mb/s
> 192.168.2.2 [wi-fi AP] 100Mb/s
> other room 192.168.2.50 [new notebook] 1Gb/s
[code]....

I just installed kubuntu 10.10 on my new netbook. I prefer the standard kde interface and want to know how to switch to it. For some reason it installed the netbook interface by default.

I want to set up Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One but want to go with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix version. At times though I may want to use the standard Gnome interface.
Is it possible for me to use both? I don't mean with dual booting but since UNR is like another desktop is it possible to switch between UNR and Gnome on Ubuntu?

Having just upgraded to 10.10, I've discovered Unity, and I'm afraid its not for me. I absolutely loved the previous interface, and was quite shocked and saddened to see it disappear. But I'd like to keep all the other new software that comes with 10.10. So my question is, can I install the old 10.04 beautiful interface to run on the 10.10 edition? Re-installation is a MS solution, that turned me on to linux in the first place!

by now I have 10 servers for hpc, power computing oriented. My users need to launch several processes using qmake. The users are used to work with ubuntu 9.10, and the software from the repositories is switable for them. I've deployed ubuntu 9.10 to all 10 servers (pxe rocks). By now we work with parallel-ssh and cluster-ssh, which allows as to launch the same process to all servers. With this tools this tools the servers remain as independent but with the same software and the same launched command. Now we would like to go to next step and see all the servers as a single one with all the resources from the other 9 as if was its resources. The difference would be substantial in time to process and also time to design the command to launch.

I have a DNS server that's been working just fine up until now. I have a local domain, "galapagos.office" set up, with several subdomains on it. I've been able to get to all the subdomains just fine for the last couple weeks from several different machines.Now something weird's happening:
I CAN ping wiki.galapagos.office from a local machine
I CAN do an nslookup on wiki.galapagos.office from a local machine
I CAN see wiki.galapagos.office in a browser from a local machine
I CAN'T ping wiki.galapagos.office from the DNS server itself
I CAN'T do an nslookup on wiki.galapagos.office from the DNS server itself
I CAN'T see wiki.galapagos.office in a browser from the DNS server itself
And I COULD do all these things before. I don't know exactly when things went south because I almost never do anything from the DNS server itself.

We are running a sendmail(8.13.8-2.el5) service on one of our server running RHEl5
When I try to mail from one of the machines connected to the server on our private network, log file on that machine shows that the mail has been sent and also there is no mail in the queue, but when I check the server, there is no mail received, not even any status on log file. Did anyone experience anything like this or any idea about this problem?

I have an EPIA M10000N (VIA Nehemiah 1GHz integrated CPU) motherboard (square MB each side 17cm) in a GA610 case. These last two links show the situation quite well.I have neither a CD/DVD drive, nor a floppy drive in the case. Only a hard drive, the motherboard, and the power supply.As you can see in the pictures, the whole thing is cooled by a 4cm fan on the CPU heat sink, and another 4cm fan at the rear of the power supply.This is rather noisy (and unbearable in a living room!).After looking (not that hard, though...) for a solution, I did not find a proper (less than 20dB, and good quality) solution. So the living-room PC became a server. It's either that of throwing it away, anyway. Having nothing to loose, I want to try something. And I'd like to have your opinion, dear reader.I want to:
- remove both 4cm fans,
- remove the cover from the power supply,
- cut a round hole on top of the case,
- fit a 12 or 14cm fan on the lower side of the round hole, right above both the CPU and the power supply.
I'm new to this cooling stuff. I saw that a 4cm fan can extract up to 5 CFM of air, whereas a big fan can extract at least 60 or 70 CFM!Changing two noisy 5 CFM fans with a single silent 60 CFM fan seems OK to me.What do you think of the idea?Next, for better reuse, I may buy a Noctua 14cm NF-S14 FLX. It is big and silent, and 71 to 110 CFM seems a lot! And its fixation holes match those of a standard 12cm fan, thanks to the unusual shape
Do you approve?
I still hesitate a bit because:
- the Noctua NF-P12 1300 might be more sturdy due to its regular shape...
- the Enermax Magma UC-MA12 might be a better choice because it can be washed... on the other hand, because of that, it may get loose with time...

We have a samba server with a couple of shares defined as follows:
Code:
[Storage]
comment = Storage
browseable = yes
path = /home/samba
writable = yes
[Backup]
comment = Backup
browseable = yes
path = /mnt/hd2/home/samba
writable = no
[Administration]
comment = Administration
path = /home/adm
valid users = adm
public = no
writeable = yes
browseable = no
We have two samba users: samba and adm. The first is used to connect to Storage and Backup shares, and adm is used to connect to Administration share. There are two problems:
1) If Storage and Backup shares are connected to a Win7 box, the Administration share cannot be connected. All we get is an error saying that that share is already connected with different username.
2) We have managed to work around this by connecting the Administration share with the IP-address of the server instead of it's name(?!). The problem then becomes that sometimes connecting Administration share this way makes Storage share read-only. Not always though.
Wrong "security" type in smb.conf (was "user", needs to be "share"). For some reason the Storage share still occasionally gets connected read-only. Win7 also tends to forget the passwords/usernames for some shares upon reboot (not all of them, though).

I have been having some odd issues over the last day or so while trying to get a raid 5 array running in software under Kubuntu. I installed 3 1TB drives and started up, my sd* order got all messed up( sda was now sdc and so on). This wasn't entirely unexpected, so I fixed up fstab and booted again. I found all three of the drives I installed, set them to raid auto-detect and used mdadm to create /dev/md0. I then created mdadm.conf by piping the output of mdadm --detail --scan --verbose into /etc/mdadm.conf.At this point, everything was still going swimmingly. I copied over a few hundred GB of data from another failing drive and everything seemed ok. I went to reboot once the copy was done and everything just went weird. All of the sd* drives went back to the original. Of course, this meant that the mdadm.conf was wrong. I tried to just change the device list, but that didn't work. I then deleted mdadm.conf and rebooted. The drive list stayed in the original order this time, so I just tried manually starting the array.
By erasing the partition table of the 3rd drive, I've been able to get it to the status of spare, but it says it is busy when I try to add it to the array. A grep through dmesg makes me think that md has a lock on it. I'm not sure where to go with it now. If anyone has any pointers, I would like to hear them.
Device List(original):
/dev/sda => boot drive, /home /
/dev/sdb => 1.5TB media storage, failing

We have a nameserver which we moved over from an old server & ip a couple of weeks ago and updated all our dns records.Currently, our dns provider shows the proper records for our server, and if we dig the server at our dns provider we get the results. However, if we ping the server, or dig it and don't specify our server we get the old ip address.An opendns cache check also sporadically returns the proper results from some of its locations but generally returns the old ip address. Does anyone have any suggestions because this bewildering me.

So, the NSA puts out some handy documentation on locking down a RHEL server (running centos 5.6 x64 myself) here, [url]. Under "Ensure System is Not Acting as a Network Sniļ¬er" on page 63, it says that if any numbers below the first line in /proc/net/packet, that it is acting as a network sniffer.
I get the following output:
Code:
Unless I've been pwned, I don't know exactly what could be causing this. Besides samba, nmap (compiled from source, not from yum), screen, and rtorrent, there's nothing I've installed beyond the fresh install I did a few days ago. I was not running nmap when looking at /proc/net/packet.

I have a Debian 5 system with two nics. eth0 is set up with dhcp-client which will receive a public ip address from my isp. The eth1 will be for my local network and I want to use dhcp-server daemon to serve addresses to my internal network. The area I am confused about is how transmissions are getting sent between nics. I've been told to enable tcp forwarding but I don't understand how that would work since the nics have different network addresses... unless tcp forwarding is basically nat or something..

I'm trying to turn an old Acer Aspire One with a tiny 8GB solid-state drive into a lean web server, so I'd like to remove as many packages as possible to free up space. It will be running a standard LAMP install and nothing else. Right now it has Ubuntu Netbook installed, so I need to know everything I can delete and still have it boot and run mysql, apache, etc.

Can the fibre channel switch in the centOS5.3 cluster edition be switched for a regular router or hub?
If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...
Firstly my question is, is it ACTUALLY possible to 'overclock' this type of netbook to run a higher res?
Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...

Evening, had a switch outage today, what a PITA. ok, that's behind me, my next project is to have the least amount of single point of failures.
So the current scenario is the following; ISP -> linux firewall -> 3 network subnets.
1. load balanced network
2. public servers (ftp, etc.)
3. management network
I would like to change it to be more like; ISP -> switch, 2 patch cords to 2 seperate firewalls (right now using a basic linux box with iptables, works great), might go the endian or other route with failover. But, each server has a public IP and private 192.x ip, most server have 2 adapters 2 interfaces each, so I do have 4 ports already. I would like to send 1nic with public/private to switch1, the other to switch 2 but either keep them down, or better the same IP. So I guess, is this possible? I would say the word bonding, not sure if it can be used in this term. The webserver are running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, DB's etc are mostly CentOS 5.4 box's.
We have all dell hardware, switches, etc. but I don't know in my years, can you have 2 seperate adapters share an IP for fault tollerance, or would I have to down/up each of the nic's in the event of a switch failure.

For the past 2hrs I have been struggling to make KDE launch plasma-dekstop instead of plasma-netbook, but all in vain.I removed, then purged plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook-default-settings packages but after logging out and re-logging in the Netbook UI was back! After restarting the system now I can't even seem to get the KDM. I am greeted with a black screen.--- I restarted the system again and the nasty little bugger is back again! This is so frustrating. How do I get plasma-desktop to load instead?---- Great now I can see that plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook both are running simultaneously! netbook on top of desktop. So my final Q is how do I stop plasma-netbook from loading?

We've been using a Wiki server at the office for years. It was originally configured to use MySQL and finally after 8+ years we're
moving the Wiki to a new platform of hardware. My question is the Wiki software (MediaWiki) is the only thing still tied to and using MySQL which we want to decommission but we've been using it for years so I'm worried we will lose the data. I've done some Google'ing to find out how can I change the MySQL database dump and successfully export it into my new PostgreSQL database however I don't know how practical or recommended this process is. I found sites like the following:
[URL]
I don't mean the exact link above but just in general taking a database from MySQL and successfully migrating it for PostgreSQL use?From what I can see in the MySQL database, there appears to be 43 tables with lots of column data and who knows what else:
Code:
mysql> show tables;

| Tables_in_wiki |

| dp_archive |

I have a small set of users and apps that are currently running on an Ubuntu server, and the whole system has been backed up.
I want to swith the whole box over to Debian, but still maintain user home directories, logins, and such.
I've already done: dpkg --get-selections, but I'm wondering, what else do I need to do to completely switch the box from Ubuntu to Debian?
It will move from Januty, to Lenny.

I installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

The iso file I downloaded passed the md5sum check. However, the cd I burned from it seems to bypass the usual Ubuntu menu where you get to choose what you want to do (run the live cd without changing your computer, check the cd for errors, install, etc) and it attempts to install itself!! The installation process halts when some sort of error is encountered.

Recently I had (and am still having) a lot of trouble with my Fedora 12 installation.First, 3D acceleration and sound stopped working. This was solver by adding my account to the "video" and "audio" groups (I wonder howcome it worked before?).Then, my keyboard stopped working in X. It would work fine in CLI mode, but as soon as I start X not even the Num Lock LED worked! I think I glimpsed that it might be due to a missing keymap or something, but I don't know. I got my computer back by making Xfce's keyboard settings override X, but it still isn't right, and I can't use anything other than Xfce.Recently I tried to burn a CD/DVD but neither Brasero, K3B, nor cdrecord could detect the DVD burner.
