[125005370010] |Howto Fix window titlebar drawing problems with NVIDIA gfx using 180.08 beta driver in Intrepid
[125005370020] |The latest NVIDIA drivers are 177 in the repos.
[125005370030] |This causes a bug with the new Intrepid Kernel causing the window title bars on some systems to draw incorrectly.
[125005370040] |It tends to be an intermittent problem.
[125005370050] |This is a temporary fix using the NVIDIA 180.08 beta drivers.
[125005370060] |First you need to download 180.08 (BETA) for Linux x86/x86-64 from here
[125005370070] |Download the file you need for your architecture.
[125005370080] |It’s NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.08-pkg1.run for x86.
[125005370090] |Close all applications and save everything.
[125005370100] |Press CTRL+ALT+F1.
[125005370110] |Log in.
[125005370120] |Then run “sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop” to kill you XWindows session.
[125005370130] |Go into the directory where you put the driver and run
[125005370140] |“sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.08-pkg1.run” or the relevant command if you downloaded the 64-bit version.
[125005370150] |It will try to download a module, then ultimately recompile a new one.
[125005370160] |To get XWindows running again you log back into XWindows using the following command
[125005370170] |sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[125005370180] |When you log back into XWindows, the new driver should be active and the window drawing problem gone.
[125005370190] |Hopefully NVIDIA will release a finished driver that will find its way into the repos soon.
[125005370200] |If you want to go back to you old driver, you can do it using System / Administration / Hardware Drivers.
[125005370210] |It will still display the old one active in there, just swap to a different one, activate it, then swap back.

[125005390010] |How to set up host interface networking for VirtualBox on Ubuntu
[125005390020] |We have already discussed how to install virtualbox and create virtual machines in ubuntu.This tutorial will explain How to set up host interface networking for VirtualBox on Ubuntu.
[125005390030] |To start, NAT is by far the easiest way to get your guests connected to the interweb, but you may want to use the guests as servers.
[125005390040] |For this you need Host Networking.
[125005390050] |To configure Host Networking you need to configure network bridging, you basically go through four steps on the host machine
[125005390060] |Install necessary packages
[125005390070] |Declare bridge and real network interface you add to it
[125005390080] |Declare virtual interfaces
[125005390090] |Set permissions on /dev/net/tun
[125005390100] |Preparing Your system
[125005390110] |You need to install the following packages
[125005390120] |sudo apt-get install uml-utilities bridge-utils
[125005390130] |Now you need to take the backup of your networking file using the following command
[125005390140] |sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup
[125005390150] |You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces on the host machine to declare the bridge, this procedure is slightly different if your host use static or dynamic IP.
[125005390160] |sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[125005390170] |If you have Dynamic IP, on the host machine:
[125005390180] |auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual
[125005390190] |auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 vbox0
[125005390200] |# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[125005390210] |“eth0″ is the name of your interface, it can be different depending on your machine.
[125005390220] |“br0″ is an arbitrary name for the bridge.
[125005390230] |“vbox0″ is an arbitrary name for the device VirtualBox will use, if you want more devices, you just add then like:
[125005390240] |bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1 vbox2 vbox3 vbox4 and so on.
[125005390250] |If you are using Static IP addresses modify the interfaces like this:
[125005390260] |auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual
[125005390270] |auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1
[125005390280] |# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[125005390290] |Replace 192.168.0.100 with your IP, 255.255.255.0 with your netmask and 192.168.0.1 with your gateway.
[125005390300] |If you are using static IP addresses for eth0, eth1, etc; you will need to configure the br0 interface using the same settings!
[125005390310] |Otherwise your system will request an IP address via DHCP.
[125005390320] |You may add as many vbox# interfaces as you wish as long as they are also declared in /etc/vbox/interfaces; keep reading for details.
[125005390330] |Save and exit the file.
[125005390340] |You need to restart networking for the changes to take effect using the following command
[125005390350] |sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[125005390360] |Declare virtual interfaces in VirtualBox network file
[125005390370] |To declare the virtual interfaces used by VirtualBox you need to edit /etc/vbox/interfaces on the host machine
[125005390380] |sudo gedit /etc/vbox/interfaces
[125005390390] |# Each line should be of the format : # [] vbox0 ![]()
[125005430160] |![]()
Open the xorgconf.txt file that was saved to the desktop.
[125005430170] |9) Delete all the contents of xorg.conf (Problem file)
[125005430180] |10) Copy all contents from xorgconf.txt (Working file)
[125005430190] |11) Paste all contents to xorg.conf (New Working file)
[125005430200] |12) Save xorg.conf
[125005430210] |14) Reboot the laptop.
[125005430220] |When the laptop restarts, it will be in the 1024×768 screen resolution.

[125005440010] |New To ubuntu But need lots of help
[125005440020] |I was asked to help out in a small christian school with computers.
[125005440030] |As it stands they are a mess.
[125005440040] |I want to install ubuntu on them all.
[125005440050] |I have a group of 9 that are all the same.
[125005440060] |I have another group of 16 that are the same, and a 3 group of 18 that are all the same.
[125005440070] |The groups should have different will all have different fixed user names (student, teacher,admin).
[125005440080] |For the simpicity of it all I was going to use pcdiskclone to make the groups the same.
[125005440090] |My problem how to make it where I can see each computer differently on the network. not sure what to do at this point.
[125005440100] |Each group should have the same software.
[125005440110] |All the machines are on the network.
[125005440120] |Looking for ideas of how to setup and install.
[125005440130] |In windows it was easy.
[125005440140] |In Ubuntu it is new and tougher.

[125005450020] |Hi,
[125005450030] |I have a laptop with an Intel3945 wireless.
[125005450040] |From what I can tell in both hardy and Intrepid I can see my Linksys 802.11b WAP and connect.
[125005450050] |The log on the wap shows a connection by the MAC address of the wireless.
[125005450060] |But the laptop doesn’t see anything on the network that the wap is part of.
[125005450070] |I defined the static IP, DNS and gateway on the laptop.
[125005450080] |I have a windows machine working fine wit the the same wap.
[125005450090] |Any ideas what bit I’m missing?

[125005470010] |How to Install and Configure DHCP Server in Ubuntu Server
[125005470020] |A DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers.
[125005470030] |This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts.
[125005470040] |All IP addresses of all computers are stored in a database that resides on a server machine.
[125005470050] |A DHCP server can provide configuration settings using two methods
[125005470060] |Address Pool
[125005470070] |This method entails defining a pool (sometimes also called a range or scope) of IP addresses from which DHCP clients are supplied their configuration properties dynamically and on a fist come first serve basis.
[125005470080] |When a DHCP client is no longer on the network for a specified period, the configuration is expired and released back to the address pool for use by other DHCP Clients.
[125005470090] |MAC Address
[125005470100] |This method entails using DHCP to identify the unique hardware address of each network card connected to the network and then continually supplying a constant configuration each time the DHCP client makes a request to the DHCP server using that network device.
[125005470110] |Install DHCP server in ubuntu
[125005470120] |sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server
[125005470130] |This will complete the installation.
[125005470140] |Configuring DHCP server
[125005470150] |If you have two network cards in your ubuntu server you need to select which interface you want to use for DHCP server listening.By default it listens to eth0.
[125005470160] |You can change this by editing /etc/default/dhcp3-server file
[125005470170] |sudo vi /etc/default/dhcp3-server
[125005470180] |Find this line
[125005470190] |INTERFACES=”eth0″
[125005470200] |Replace with the following line
[125005470210] |INTERFACES=”eth1″
[125005470220] |Save and exit.This is optional.
[125005470230] |Next you need to make a backup copy of /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file
[125005470240] |cp /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf.back
[125005470250] |Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file using the following command
[125005470260] |sudo vi /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[125005470270] |Using address pool method
[125005470280] |You need to change the following sections in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file
[125005470290] |default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200;
[125005470300] |option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; option domain-name “yourdomainname.com”;
[125005470310] |subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.200; }
[125005470320] |save and exit the file
[125005470330] |This will result in the DHCP server giving a client an IP address from the range 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.200 .
[125005470340] |It will lease an IP address for 600 seconds if the client doesn’t ask for a specific time frame.
[125005470350] |Otherwise the maximum (allowed) lease will be 7200 seconds.
[125005470360] |The server will also “advise” the client that it should use 255.255.255.0 as its subnet mask, 192.168.1.255 as its broadcast address, 192.168.1.254 as the router/gateway and 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 as its DNS servers.
[125005470370] |Using MAC address method
[125005470380] |This method is you can reserver some of the machines or all the machines with fixed ip address.In the following example i am using fixed ip address for server1,server2,printer1 and printer2
[125005470390] |default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200;
[125005470400] |option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; option domain-name “yourdomainname.com”;
[125005470410] |subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.200; }
[125005470420] |host server1 { hardware ethernet 00:1b:63:ef:db:54; fixed-address 192.168.1.20; }
[125005470430] |host server2 { hardware ethernet 00:0a:95:b4:d4:b0; fixed-address 192.168.1.21; }
[125005470440] |host printer1 { hardware ethernet 00:16:cb:aa:2a:cd; fixed-address 192.168.1.22; }
[125005470450] |host printer2 { hardware ethernet 00:0a:95:f5:8f:b3; fixed-address 192.168.1.23; }
[125005470460] |Now you need to restart dhcp server using the following command
[125005470470] |sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
[125005470480] |Configure Ubuntu DHCP Client
[125005470490] |If you want to configure your ubuntu desktop as DHCP client following this procedure
[125005470500] |You need to open /etc/network/interfaces file
[125005470510] |sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
[125005470520] |make sure you have the following lines (eth0 is an example)
[125005470530] |auto lo eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface lo inet loopback
[125005470540] |Save and exit the file
[125005470550] |You need to restart networking services using the following command

[125005490010] |MySQLTuner - High-performance MySQL tuning script
[125005490020] |MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that will assist you with your MySQL configuration and make recommendations for increased performance and stability.
[125005490030] |Within seconds, it will display statistics about your MySQL installation and the areas where it can be improved.
[125005490040] |It’s key to remember that MySQLTuner is a script which can assist you with your server, but it is not the solution to a badly performing MySQL server.
[125005490050] |The best performance gains come from a thorough review of the queries sent to the server, and an evaluation of the MySQL server itself.
[125005490060] |A qualified developer in your application’s programming or scripting language should be able to work with a MySQL database administrator to find improvements for your server.
[125005490070] |Once the server and application are optimized well, you may need to consider hardware upgrades to the physical server itself.
[125005490080] |This is a really useful tool for helping to optimize MySQL performance.Understanding the various my.cnf variables and how they affect performance can seem really complicated but this tool takes some of the pain away and makes it easier to understand the effects of each variable.It is especially useful to be able to see the global memory usage, memory usage per thread and the maximum possible memory usage - that is really valuable information that is otherwise complex to calculate.
[125005490090] |MySQLTuner Features
[125005490100] |* Memory Usage: Calculates MySQL memory usage at max load and makes recommendations for increasing or decreasing the MySQL memory footprint.
[125005490110] |Per-thread and server-wide buffer data is calculated separately for an accurate snapshot of the server?s configuration.
[125005490120] |* Slow Queries: Reviews the amount of slow queries relative to the total queries.
[125005490130] |Slow query time limits are also analyzed and recommendations are made.
[125005490140] |* Connections: Current and historical connection counts are reviewed.
[125005490150] |* Key Buffer: Takes configuration data and compares it to the actual indexes found in MyISAM tables.
[125005490160] |Key cache hit rates are calculated and variable adjustments are suggested.
[125005490170] |* Query Cache: Query cache hit rates and usage percentages are used to make recommendations for the query cache configuration variables.
[125005490180] |* Sorting &Joins: Per-thread buffers that affect sorts and joins are reviewed along with the statistics from the queries run against the server.
[125005490190] |* Temporary Tables: Variable recommendations are made to reduce temporary tables that are written to the disk.
[125005490200] |* Table Cache: Compares total tables opened to the currently open tables.
[125005490210] |Calculates the table cache hit rate in order to make suggestions.
[125005490220] |* Open Files: Determines if the server will approach or run into the open file limit set by the operating system or the MySQL server itself.
[125005490230] |* Table Locks: Finds table locking that forces queries to wait and makes suggestions for reducing locks that require a wait.
[125005490240] |* Thread Cache: Calculates how many times MySQL must create a new thread to respond to a query.
[125005490250] |* Aborted Connections: Finds applications that are not closing connections to MySQL properly.
[125005490260] |* Read/Write Ratios: Calculates the percentage of read and write operations on your MySQL installation.
[125005490270] |Install Mysqltuner in Ubuntu Intrepid

[125005530010] |How to use SSH Via HTTP Proxy using Corkscrew in Ubuntu
[125005530020] |If you want to ssh your vps server or your home computer from your work place (assuming you are using http proxy).You need to use Corkscrew.
[125005530030] |corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP proxy supporting the CONNECT method.
[125005530040] |It reads stdin and writes to stdout during the connection, just like netcat.
[125005530050] |It can be used for instance to connect to an SSH server running on a remote 443 port through a strict HTTPS proxy.
[125005530060] |Install corkscrew in ubuntu using the following command
[125005530070] |sudo aptitude install corkscrew
[125005530080] |This will complete the installation.
[125005530090] |Configue corkscrew
[125005530100] |If your HTTP proxy uses authentication, then you’ll need to tell it about the username and password to use This is where the concept of ‘auth-file’ comes into play.
[125005530110] |All you have to do is put your username &password, separated by a colon, into a textfile.
[125005530120] |Once you’ve done this, you just have to tell corkscrew where to find the auth-file.
[125005530130] |Create a file called .corkscrew-auth in your home directory
[125005530140] |$touch .corkscrew-auth
[125005530150] |$gedit .corkscrew-auth
[125005530160] |and place your username and password in the following format
[125005530170] |username:password
[125005530180] |Save and exit the file.
[125005530190] |Configure ssh For Tunneling
[125005530200] |Now we’ll tell ssh what to do when connecting to all or specific hosts.
[125005530210] |Open up ~/.ssh/config (that’s /home/yourusername/.ssh/config) in your favourite text editor (gedit,nano,vim etc)
[125005530220] |$gedit /home/yourusername/.ssh/config
[125005530230] |and add the following lines
[125005530240] |Host *
[125005530250] |ProxyCommand corkscrew proxyhostname proxyport %h %p /home/username/.corkscrew-auth
[125005530260] |Save and exit the file
[125005530270] |Note: replace proxyhostname and proxyport with the equivalents for your network.
[125005530280] |Note: you won’t need to add the last section, ‘/home/username/.corkscrew-auth’, if your HTTP proxy doesn’t use authentication.
[125005530290] |What we’ve just told ssh to do is for all hostnames (’Host *’), use the following proxy command to route the connection.If you want more secure connections you can also list of hosts.
[125005530300] |Corkscrew Syntax
[125005530310] |corkscrew proxy proxyport targethost targetport [ authfile ]
[125005530320] |proxy - This is the name of the host running the HTTP proxy.
[125005530330] |proxyport - This is the port on which to connect on the proxy.
[125005530340] |target - This is the host to reach through the proxy.
[125005530350] |targetport - This is the port to connect to on the target host.
[125005530360] |Test your SSH connection
[125005530370] |ssh serverip
[125005540010] |New Notification System for GNOME and KDE
[125005540020] |Canonical the makers of Ubuntu about to introduce a new desktop notification system proposal.
[125005540030] |New changes should improve the usability of the Linux desktop including desktop notification system for both GNOME and KDE.
[125005540040] |From the Mark Shuttleworth blog.
[125005540050] |The key proposals we are making are that:
[125005540060] |There should be no actions on notifications.
[125005540070] |Notifications should not be displayed synchronously, but may be queued.
[125005540080] |Our implementation of the notification display daemon will display only one notification at a time, others may do it differently.
[125005540090] |That’s pretty much it.
[125005540100] |There are some subtleties and variations, but these are the key changes we are proposing, and which we will explore in a netbook device with a partner, as well as in the general Ubuntu 9.04 release, schedule gods being willing.
[125005540110] |You can read more about proposal including mockup video that shows new notification system here.
[125005550010] |Ubuntu-sponsored FOSScamp builds community
[125005550020] |The week-long Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) meets every six months at changing locations to discuss what will be in the next release of Ubuntu.
[125005550030] |The mostly unpublicized FOSScamp always meets the weekend before.
[125005550040] |The FOSScamp un-conference has no program, no invited speakers, and costs nothing.
[125005550050] |Like some sort of geek Woodstock but smaller, the Ubuntu hip just show up.
[125005550060] |On Friday morning, December 5, participants started arriving at the ost recent FOSScamp, held at the Google campus in Mountain View.
[125005550070] |The large whiteboard in the lobby advertising conference sessions was completely blank.
[125005550080] |Anyone can pick up a marker and schedule a presentation in one of the five conference rooms.
[125005550090] |The speakers are self-selected and self-proclaimed.
[125005550100] |As a hundred scruffy hacker guys with backpacks mixed with jeans-wearing corporate types in the lobby, the whiteboard began to fill in with sessions such as Linux Audio, Easy LDAP Mgmt, Bug Triage in KDE, OpenID, Bootable USB Keys, Bzr/Loggerhead, Handheld Use Cases, encryptfs, Visualizing Digital Media Collections, OSS Writing, and many more.
[125005550110] |An un-conference like FOSScamp includes surprising open source topics you may not find at a chaired conference.
[125005550120] |And not every available slot gets filled with a topic.
[125005550130] |A hot topic may not have much scheduled against it, as speakers are also attendees and don’t want to miss it.

[125005570010] |New Release : Pidgin 2.5.3
[125005570020] |Well, we finally kicked Pidgin 2.5.3 out of the nest, two days late.
[125005570030] |It’s spreading its wings and flying.
[125005570040] |Noteworthy in this release are that 58 bullet points are in the ChangeLog (not counting the headers for libpurple, Pidgin, Finch, and the protocols) and 85 tickets were closed, 40 of which were marked in trac as patches.
[125005570050] |Also of note is the insane amount of work Mark Doliner put into our MSN and MySpace plugins, which should resolve a number of crashes and the MySpace “doesn’t sign off” issue.
[125005570060] |A few big items to summarize:
[125005570070] |Mark did massive code cleanup in MSN
[125005570080] |Mark fixed a number of shortcomings in the MySpace IM protocol as well as doing code cleanup.
[125005570090] |We accepted a ton of patches.
[125005570100] |ICQ typing notifications should work for some third-party clients now.
[125005570110] |XMPP resources now default to the empty string, causing modern servers to assign us a resource via a bind.
[125005570120] |In the event of an ancient server, such as the one DreamHost runs, we will detect the lack of this capability and enforce the default “Home” resource if a user hasn’t set a resource.
[125005570130] |XMPP resources can now include __HOSTNAME__ as a special token that will be replaced with the hostname of the machine being used.
[125005570140] |For example, if I run Pidgin on my MacBook and configure the resource on an XMPP account to be __HOSTNAME__, the resource sent to the server will be “macbook”, since this is the hostname of my MacBook.
[125005570150] |Some long-outstanding patches have been applied for Gadu-Gadu, implementing IM images.
[125005570160] |Apply some patches for Zephyr, enabling autoreply when away to emulate zaway and some bugs with the ‘use tzc’ option.
[125005570170] |We no longer get certificate errors for rsi.hotmail.com when logging into MSN and retrieving offline messages.
[125005570180] |Many, many other things best read about in the ChangeLog.
[125005570190] |Enjoy this release, which I’ll call the “Thank-a-patch-writer” release!

[125005590010] |How to Install KDE 4.2 beta in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
[125005590020] |The KDE project aims to change all that.
[125005590030] |KDE now provides an easy to use contemporary desktop environment available for UNIX and compatible systems.
[125005590040] |Together with a free implementation of UNIX such as GNU/Linux, UNIX/KDE constitutes a completely free and open computing platform available to anyone free of charge.
[125005590050] |Source code is available for anyone to look at, learn from, modify and improve.
[125005590060] |Whilst there is always room for improvement, KDE today delivers a viable feature packed alternative to the more commonly found commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available.
[125005590070] |It is our hope and continued ambition that KDE will bring open, reliable, stable and monopoly-free computing enjoyed by scientists and computing professionals world-wide to the everyday user.

[125005600010] |New Release : Linux Kernel 2.6.28
[125005600020] |Lead kernel developer Linus Torvalds announced the official release of Linux 2.6.28 on Wednesday.
[125005600030] |The new version introduces some noteworthy changes that will put the kernel in a strong position for growth and advancement in the coming year.
[125005600040] |This latest release follows a few months after version 2.6.27, which was released in October.
[125005600050] |“It doesn’t really matter what day it is, or what holiday (if any) you’re celebrating, because even if you sit at home, alone in your dank basement, without any holidays or friends, I bring you a tiding of great cheer: you can now download Linux-2.6.28, and compile it to your hearts content,” wrote kernel chieftain Torvalds in a message to the kernel mailing list.
[125005600060] |“In fact, even _if_ you have friends or family, leave them to their endless toil over that Christmas ham or turkey, and during the night, when they’re asleep, you can give them that magical present of a newly updated computer.
[125005600070] |When they wake up tomorrow morning, tell them how you saw Santa crawl down the chimney with his USB stick in hand, updating the OS of all good boys and girls.”
[125005600080] |Graphics Execution Manager (GEM)
[125005600090] |One of the most significant additions in 2.6.28 is the Graphics Execution Manager (GEM), a new GPU memory manager that was developed primarily by Keith Packard and Eric Anholt of Intel.
[125005600100] |In some early benchmarks that Intel conducted back in May, GEM was said to boost framerates by between 50 and 60 percent for Intel 915 graphics hardware.
[125005600110] |GEM represents a significant and much-needed step towards modernization for the Linux graphics stack.
[125005600120] |The need for a GPU memory manager was originally going to be fulfilled by the translation table maps module (TTM), which was created by Tungsten graphics.
[125005600130] |TTM has several deficiencies, however, and its API is regarded as needlessly complex.
[125005600140] |Plans to merge TTM in version 2.6.24 of the kernel were scrapped and the kernel development community selected GEM as its successor.
[125005600150] |At the present time, the Intel drivers are the only ones that can take advantage of GEM, but work is already underway to add support for other devices.
[125005600160] |Ext4 filesystem
[125005600170] |Another significant milestone in version 2.6.28 is that the ext4 filesystem has been declared stable and no longer designated as “experimental”.
[125005600180] |As the successor to ext3, the most widely-used Linux filesystem, ext4 boosts performance and reliability and provides a clean migration path for existing ext3 users so that it can be adopted without necessitating a reformat.
[125005600190] |In ext4, the theoretical maximum filesystem size has been increased to 1 exabyte and the 32,000 limit on the number of subdirectories that can be contained in any given directory has been eliminated.
[125005600200] |The filesystem check (fsck) process is also significantly faster in ext4 thanks to the new uninitialized block group feature.
[125005600210] |Instead of scanning every inode table on the filesystem, fsck will now only check inodes that are in use.
[125005600220] |This optimization will make fsck between two and 20 times faster depending on how much of the filesystem is consumed.
[125005600230] |There are a number of other significant features in ext4, including delayed allocation, support for extents, and journal checksumming.
[125005600240] |These features will reduce fragmentation and increase the robustness of the filesystem.
[125005600250] |TAINTed_CRAP in the mainline kernel
[125005600260] |Prominent Linux developer Greg Kroah-Hartman has left a particularly special present for kernel hackers under the source tree in 2.6.28.
[125005600270] |The -staging branch, which contains incomplete or unstable drivers, has been merged into the mainline kernel and placed in a new “staging” directory.
[125005600280] |It is hoped that this move will increase the visibility of work-in-progress drivers and encourage other developers to help contribute to the effort of readying them for full adoption.
[125005600290] |The modules in staging will all be marked with Kroah-Hartman’s new TAINT_CRAP flag, which signifies their unsuitability for regular usage.
[125005600300] |Although the staging move was highly controversial, it could have a very positive impact on driver development and accelerate the rate at which new drivers evolve.
[125005600310] |Other features - Stable USB drivers, KVM, bug fixes and other stuff

[125005610010] |Ted Ts’o: Debian Can Learn from Ubuntu
[125005610020] |Newly appointed CTO of the Linux Foundation and kernel developer Ted Ts’o is appealing to the Debian project to adopt a more pragmatic attitude about its Linux distro.
[125005610030] |The provocation for his advice is the current controversy over Debian’s next 5.0 “Lenny” release.
[125005610040] |The debate over the free and proprietary aspects of the Debian GNU/Linux has been whirling up for a while and with each new update to the OS.
[125005610050] |It peaked recently with the call for votes to determine the course of the Lenny release and Debian’s social contract, which ended in the resignation of the project’s secretary, Manoj Srivastava.
[125005610060] |The prominent Linux developer and CTO of the Linux Foundation, Ted Ts’o, responded to the debate in a recent blog, using a quote from Gordon Dickson’s Tactics of Mistakes.
[125005610070] |The book treats of philosophers and how their militant followers pursue their ideas uncompromisingly.
[125005610080] |Ts’o writes, “The conflict between idealism and pragmatism is a very old one in the Free and Open Source Software Movement.”
[125005610090] |He gives Richard Stallman as an example of someone “who has never compromised on issues regarding his vision of Software Freedom.”

[125005620010] |How to control virtual machines (Virtualbox) using VBoxManage
[125005620020] |VBoxManage, a command-line utility that allows you to control all of VirtualBox’s powerful features.In essence, VBoxManage supports everything that our graphical user interface allows you to do with the click of a button.
[125005620030] |VBoxManage supports a lot more than that,however.
[125005620040] |It exposes really all the features of the virtualization engine, even those that cannot (yet) be accessed from the GUI.
[125005620050] |There are two main things to keep in mind when using VBoxManage
[125005620060] |First,VBoxManage must always be used with a specific “subcommand”, such as “list vms” or “createvm” or “startvm”.
[125005620070] |Second, most of these subcommands require that you specify a particular virtual machine after the subcommand.
[125005620080] |There are two ways you can do this:
[125005620090] |You can specify the VM name, as it is shown in the VirtualBox GUI.
[125005620100] |Note that if that name contains spaces, then you must enclose the entire name in double quotes (as it is always required with command line arguments that contain spaces).
[125005620110] |Example
[125005620120] |VBoxManage startvm “Windows XP”
[125005620130] |You can specify the UUID, which is the internal unique identifier that VirtualBox uses to refer to the virtual machine.
[125005620140] |Assuming that the aforementioned VM called “Windows XP” has the UUID shown below, the following command has the same effect as the previous:
[125005620150] |VBoxManage startvm 670e746d-abea-4ba6-ad02-2a3b043810a5
[125005620160] |You can type VBoxManage list vms to have all currently registered VMs listed with all their settings, including their respective names and UUIDs.
[125005620170] |Create a new virtual machine using VBoxManage
[125005620180] |To create a new virtual machine from the command line and immediately register it with VirtualBox, use VBoxManage createvm with the -register option.
[125005620190] |Example
[125005620200] |VBoxManage createvm -name “SUSE 10.2″ -register
[125005620210] |VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.0 (C) 2005-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
[125005620220] |All rights reserved.
[125005620230] |Virtual machine ’SUSE 10.2’ is created.
[125005620240] |UUID: c89fc351-8ec6-4f02-a048-57f4d25288e5 Settings file: ’/home/username/.VirtualBox/Machines/SUSE 10.2/SUSE 10.2.xml’
[125005620250] |As can be seen from the above output, a new virtual machine has been created with a new UUID and a new XML settings file.
[125005620260] |Show configuration of a particular VM

[125005620330] |How to Change Virtual Machine Settings
[125005620340] |VBoxManage modifyvm this command changes the properties of a registered virtual machine.
[125005620350] |Most of the properties that this command makes available correspond to the VM settings that VirtualBox graphical user interface displays in each VM’s “Settings” dialog.
[125005620360] |Changing memory settings using the folowing command
[125005620370] |VBoxManage modifyvm “Windows XP” -memory “512MB”
[125005620380] |One more example to set memory, operating system type, pae settings, monitor quantity, hardware inventory as well as snapshot configuration.
[125005620390] |Here is a sample command that sets a memory amount, makes the CD-ROM disk the first boot device and disables USB support
[125005620400] |vboxmanage modifyvm XP-TestSystem -memory 512 -boot1 dvd -usb off
[125005620410] |The modifyvm parameter also has extended options such as BIOS display time, network interface driver type, host network interface assigned to the VM and enabling or disabling of the clipboard.
[125005620420] |Overall, modifyvm has over 50 parameters for an individual VM.
[125005620430] |If you want more options check virtualbox usermanual
[125005620440] |How to start virtual machine from command line
[125005620450] |VBoxManage startvm This command starts a virtual machine that is currently in the “Powered off” or “Saved” states.
[125005620460] |This is provided for backwards compatibility only.The optional -type specifier determines whether the machine will be started in a window (GUI mode, which is the default) or whether the output should go through VBoxHeadless, the VRDP-only server.
[125005620470] |This is a very quick sample of what is capable with the VBoxManage command.
[125005630010] |Ubuntu Privacy Remix - Modified Live-CD based on Ubuntu Linux
[125005630020] |Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a modified Live-CD based on Ubuntu Linux.
[125005630030] |UPR is not intended for permanent installation on hard disk.
[125005630040] |The goal of Ubuntu Privacy Remix is to provide an isolated, working environment where private data can be dealt with safely.
[125005630050] |The system installed on the computer running UPR remains untouched.
[125005630060] |The risk of theft of such private data arises not only from “conventional” criminals, trojans. rootkits, keyloggers etc.
[125005630070] |In many countries, measures are taken or being prepared aiming at spying and monitoring its citizens.
[125005630080] |Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a tool to protect your data against unsolicited access.
[125005630090] |Functions and features of Ubuntu Privacy Remix
[125005630100] |Check here for Functions and features of Ubuntu Privacy Remix Security is a system These few examples show that security means the security of the whole working environment, and that security can never be provided by one program alone.
[125005630110] |Editing, de- and encryption of sensitive data should therefore be done with a system that
[125005630120] |never has or had contact to untrustworthy networks like the internet
[125005630130] |cannot leave data unencrypted on the hard drive, not even unnoticed or by accident
[125005630140] |offers no opportunity to spyware to permanently install onto the system
[125005630150] |Ubuntu Privacy Remix - based on Ubuntu 8.04 - tries to create such a working environment on any PC with the following measures:
[125005630160] |the system resides on a read-only CD, i.e. it is in the original state after every reboot and cannot be modified afterwards.
[125005630170] |Spyware and other mailicious software cannot be installed permanently.
[125005630180] |The system completely ignores any potentially compromised local (S-)ATA hard disks.
[125005630190] |Neither can they be used by malicious software to save ‘stolen’ data from UPR, nor could malicious software be loaded from hard disk into UPR
[125005630200] |The system kernel is modified so that it cannot activate any network hardware.
[125005630210] |UPR therefore is an isolated system where it is impossible to exchange data via LAN/WLAN/Bleutooth/Infrared etc.
[125005630220] |The system is based on free software which can be verified in source code.
[125005630230] |To ease working with a non-modifiable system, UPR introduces “extended TrueCrypt-Volumes“, which can store program configuration like GnuPG settings, OpenOffice dictionaries etc. permanently and securely within an encrypted volume.
[125005630240] |These settings are automatically made available after opening such an “extended TrueCrypt-Volume”.
[125005630250] |This method is only an optional alternative to using standard TrueCrypt volumes.
[125005630260] |Ubuntu Privacy Remix therefore has two levels of security:
[125005630270] |By being non-modifiable, it is impossible to permanently install malicious software, neither by network nor by local hard disks.
[125005630280] |Even if it were possible for malicious software to load into memory (e.g. carried in and executed from removable media), there is no possibility to save or send captured data anywhere outside.

[125005640010] |VBoxSDL - The simplified VM displayer for Virtualbox
[125005640020] |VBoxSDL is a simple graphical user interface (GUI) that lacks the nice point-and-click support which VirtualBox, our main GUI, provides.
[125005640030] |VBoxSDL is currently primarily used internally for debugging VirtualBox and therefore not officially supported.
[125005640040] |Still,you may find it useful for environments where the virtual machines are not necessarily controlled by the same person that uses the virtual machine.
[125005640050] |VBoxSDL does indeed only provide a simple window that contains only the “pure” virtual machine, without menus or other controls to click upon and no additional indicators of virtual machine activity
[125005640060] |To start a virtual machine with VBoxSDL instead of the VirtualBox GUI, enter the following on a command line
[125005640070] |VBoxSDL -vm

[125005650010] |Tools to delete files securely in ubuntu Linux
[125005650020] |Deleting a file or reformatting a disk does not destroy your sensitive data.
[125005650030] |The data can easily be undeleted.
[125005650040] |That’s a good thing if you accidentally throw something away, but what if your trying to destroy financial data, bank account passwords, or classified company information.
[125005650050] |In this article you will learn number of tools to delete files securely in ubuntu Linux
[125005650060] |1) Shred
[125005650070] |Although it has some important limitations, the shred command can be useful for destroying files so that their contents are very difficult or impossible to recover. shred accomplishes its destruction by repeatedly overwriting files with data patterns designed to do maximum damage so that it becomes difficult to recover data even using high-sensitivity data recovery equipment1.
[125005650080] |Deleting a file with the rm command does not actually destroy the data; it merely destroys an index listing the location of the file and makes the file’s data blocks available for reuse.
[125005650090] |Thus, a file deleted with rm can be easily recovered using special utilities or commands if its freed data blocks have not yet been reused.
[125005650100] |However, on an active system with a nearly full hard disk drive (HDD), freed space can be reused in a matter of minutes or even seconds.
[125005650110] |Shred Syntax
[125005650120] |shred [option(s)] file(s)_or_devices(s)
[125005650130] |Available Options
[125005650140] |-f, --force - change permissions to allow writing if necessary
[125005650150] |-n, --iterations=N - Overwrite N times instead of the default (25)
[125005650160] |-s, --size=N - shred this many bytes (suffixes like K, M, G accepted)
[125005650170] |-u, --remove - truncate and remove file after overwriting
[125005650180] |-v, --verbose - show progress
[125005650190] |-x, --exact - do not round file sizes up to the next full block
[125005650200] |-z, --zero - add a final overwrite with zeros to hide shredding -shred standard output
[125005650210] |--help - display this help and exit
[125005650220] |--version - output version information and exit
[125005650230] |Shred Examples
[125005650240] |1) The following command could be used securely destroy the three files named file1, file2 and file3
[125005650250] |shred file1 file2 file3
[125005650260] |2) The following would destroy data on the seventh partition on the first HDD
[125005650270] |shred /dev/hda7
[125005650280] |3) You might use the following command to erase all trace of the filesystem you’d created on the floppy disk in your first drive.
[125005650290] |That command takes about
[125005650300] |20 minutes to erase a “1.44MB” (actually 1440 KiB) floppy.
[125005650310] |shred --verbose /dev/fd0
[125005650320] |4) Erase all data on a selected partition of your hard disk, you could give a command like this
[125005650330] |shred --verbose /dev/sda5
[125005650340] |Adding shred to Nautilus menu in Ubuntu
[125005650350] |First Install nautilus-actions package using the following command in the terminal
[125005650360] |sudo aptitude install nautilus-actions
[125005650370] |Now Open up Nautilus Actions Configuration from System->Preference->Nautilus Actions Configuration
[125005650380] |Once opens you should see similar to the following screen here Click Add
[125005650390] |Now Enter the following details
[125005650400] |Label: Shred Tooltip: shred utility to securely erase files Icon: gtk-dialog-warning Path: shred Parameters: -f -u -v -z %M
[125005650410] |Click on the Conditions tab Under the “Appears if selection contains“, check “Only files” (If you want files and folders select Both).Check the box “Appears if selection has multiple files or folders“.
[125005650420] |Click OK
[125005650430] |After adding you should see similar to the following screen click close
[125005650440] |Open up a terminal, run the following commands to update the nautiuls
[125005650450] |nautilus -q
[125005650460] |nautilus
[125005650470] |Now this will open nautilus window Now right click on any files, you should be able to see the shred command in the menu.
[125005650480] |wipe
[125005650490] |wipe is a little command for securely erasing files from magnetic media.
[125005650500] |It compiles under various unix platforms, including Linux 2.*, (Open+Net+Free)BSD, aix 4.1, SunOS 5.5.1, Solaris 2.6.
[125005650510] |Recovery of supposedly erased data from magnetic media is easier than what many people would like to believe.
[125005650520] |A technique called Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) allows any moderately funded opponent to recover the last two or three layers of data written to disk.
[125005650530] |Wipe repeatedly writes special patterns to the files to be destroyed, using the fsync() call and/or the O_SYNC bit to force disk access.
[125005650540] |Install wipe in Ubuntu
[125005650550] |sudo aptitude install wipe
[125005650560] |wipe Syntax
[125005650570] |wipe [options] path1 path2 …pathn
[125005650580] |Wipe Examples
[125005650590] |Wipe every file and every directory (option -r) listed under /home/berke/plaintext/, including /home/berke/plaintext/.Regular files will be wiped with 34 passes and their sizes will then be halved a random number of times.
[125005650600] |Special files (character and block devices, FIFOs…) will not.
[125005650610] |All directory entries (files, special files and directories) will be renamed 10 times and then unlinked.
[125005650620] |Things with inappropriate permissions will be chmod()’ed (option -c).
[125005650630] |All of this will happen without user confirmation (option -f).
[125005650640] |wipe -rcf /home/berke/plaintext/
[125005650650] |Assuming /dev/hda3 is the block device corresponding to the third partition of the master drive on the primary IDE interface, it will be wiped in quick mode (option -q) i.e. with four random passes.
[125005650660] |The inode won’t be renamed or unlinked (option -k).
[125005650670] |Before starting, it will ask you to type “yes”.
[125005650680] |wipe -kq /dev/hda3
[125005650690] |Since wipe never follows symlinks unless explicitly told to do so, if you want to wipe /dev/floppy which happens to be a symlink to /dev/fd0u1440 you will have to specify the -D option.
[125005650700] |Before starting, it will ask you to type “yes”.
[125005650710] |wipe -kqD /dev/floppy
[125005650720] |Here, wipe will recursively (option -r) destroy everything under /var/log, excepting /var/log.
[125005650730] |It will not attempt to chmod() things.
[125005650740] |It will however be verbose (option -i).
[125005650750] |It won’t ask you to type “yes” because of the -f option.
[125005650760] |wipe -rfi >wipe.log /var/log/*
[125005650770] |Due to various idiosyncracies of the operating system, it’s not always easy to obtain the number of bytes a given device might contain (in fact, that quantity can be variable).
[125005650780] |This is why you sometimes need to tell wipe the amount of bytes to destroy.
[125005650790] |That’s what the -l option is for.
[125005650800] |Plus, you can use b,K,M and G as multipliers, respectively for 2^9 (512), 2^10 (1024 or a Kilo), 2^20 (a Mega) and 2^30 (a Giga) bytes.
[125005650810] |You can even combine more than one multiplier !!
[125005650820] |So that 1M416K = 1474560 bytes.
[125005650830] |wipe -Kq -l 1440k /dev/fd0
[125005650840] |Adding Wipe to Nautilus menu in Ubuntu
[125005650850] |First Install nautilus-actions package using the following command in the terminal
[125005650860] |sudo aptitude install nautilus-actions
[125005650870] |Now Open up Nautilus Actions Configuration from System->Preference->Nautilus Actions Configuration Click Add
[125005650880] |Enter the following details
[125005650890] |Label: Wipe Tooltip: Wipe utility to securely erase files Icon: gtk-dialog-warning Path: wipe Parameters: -rf %M
[125005650900] |Click on the Conditions tab Under the “Appears if selection contains“, check “both”
[125005650910] |Check the box “Appears if selection has multiple files or folders“.
[125005650920] |Click OK
[125005650930] |Open up a terminal, run the following commands to update the nautiuls
[125005650940] |nautilus -q
[125005650950] |nautilus
[125005650960] |From Now right click on any files, you should be able to see the wipe command in the menu.You can check above procedure for screenshots.
[125005650970] |Secure-Delete tools
[125005650980] |Tools to wipe files, free disk space, swap and memoryEven if you overwrite a file 10+ times, it can still be recovered.
[125005650990] |This package contains tools to securely wipe data from files, free disk space, swap and memory.
[125005651000] |The Secure-Delete tools are a particularly useful set of programs that use advanced techniques to permanently delete files.
[125005651010] |To install the Secure-Delete tools in Ubuntu, run the following command
[125005651020] |sudo aptitude install secure-delete
[125005651030] |The Secure-Delete package comes with the following commands
[125005651040] |srm(Secure remove) - used for deleting files or directories currently on your hard disk.
[125005651050] |smem(Secure memory wiper) - used to wipe traces of data from your computer’s memory (RAM).
[125005651060] |sfill(Secure free space wiper) - used to wipe all traces of data from the free space on your disk.
[125005651070] |sswap(Secure swap wiper) - used to wipe all traces of data from your swap partition.
[125005651080] |srm - Secure remove
[125005651090] |srm removes each specified file by overwriting, renaming, and truncat-ing it before unlinking.
[125005651100] |This prevents other people from undeleting or recovering any information about the file from the command line.
[125005651110] |srm, like every program that uses the getopt function to parse its arguments, lets you use the -- option to indicate that all arguments are non-options.
[125005651120] |To remove a file called ‘-f’ in the current directory, you could type either “srm -- -f” or “srm ./-f”.
[125005651130] |srm Syntax
[125005651140] |srm [OPTION]… FILE…
[125005651150] |Available Options

[125005651200] |-s, --simple - only overwrite with a single pass of random data
[125005651210] |-m, --medium - overwrite the file with 7 US DoD compliant passes (0xF6,0×00,0xFF,random,0×00,0xFF,random)
[125005651220] |-z, --zero - after overwriting, zero blocks used by file
[125005651230] |-n, --nounlink - overwrite file, but do not rename or unlink it
[125005651240] |-v, --verbose - explain what is being done
[125005651250] |--help display this help and exit
[125005651260] |--version - output version information and exit
[125005651270] |srm Examples
[125005651280] |Delete a file using srm
[125005651290] |srm myfile.txt
[125005651300] |Delete a directory using srm
[125005651310] |srm -r myfiles
[125005651320] |smem - Secure memory wiper
[125005651330] |smem is designed to delete data which may lie still in your memory (RAM) in a secure manner which can not be recovered by thiefs, law enforcement or other threats.
[125005651340] |Note that with the new SDRAMs, data will not wither away but will be kept static - it is easy to extract the necessary information!
[125005651350] |The wipe algorythm is based on the paper “Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory” presented at the 6th Usenix Security Symposium by Peter Gutmann, one of the leading civilian cryptographers.
[125005651360] |smem Syntax
[125005651370] |smem [-f] [-l] [-l] [-v]
[125005651380] |Available Options

[125005651400] |-l - lessens the security.
[125005651410] |Only two passes are written: the first with 0×00 and a final random one.
[125005651420] |-l -l for a second time lessons the security even more: only one pass with 0×00 is written.
[125005651430] |-v - verbose mode
[125005651440] |sfill - secure free space wipe
[125005651450] |sfill is designed to delete data which lies on available diskspace on mediums in a secure manner which can not be recovered by thiefs, law enforcement or other threats.

[125005651560] |-v - verbose mode
[125005651570] |-z - wipes the last write with zeros instead of random data
[125005651580] |directory/mountpoint this is the location of the file created in your filesystem.
[125005651590] |It should lie on the partition you want to write.
[125005651600] |sswap - Secure swap wiper
[125005651610] |sswap is designed to delete data which may lie still on your swapspace in a secure manner which can not be recovered by thiefs, law enforce?ment or other threats.The wipe algorythm is based on the paper “Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory” pre?sented at the 6th Usenix Security Symposium by Peter Gutmann, one of the leading civilian cryptographers.

[125005651700] |-z - wipes the last write with zeros instead of random data
[125005651710] |sswap Examples
[125005651720] |Before you start using sswap you must disable your swap partition.You can determine your mounted swap devices using the following command
[125005651730] |cat /proc/swaps
[125005651740] |Disable swap using the following command
[125005651750] |sudo swapoff /dev/sda3

[125005660010] |VRDP - VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol
[125005660020] |VirtualBox, the graphical user interface, has a built-in server for the VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP).
[125005660030] |This allows you to see the output of a virtual machine’s window remotely on any other computer and control the virtual machine from there,as if it was running on the remote machine.
[125005660040] |VRDP is a backwards-compatible extension to Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
[125005660050] |Typically graphics updates and audio are sent from the remote machine to the client, while keyboard and mouse events are sent back.
[125005660060] |You can use any standard RDP viewer, such as the one that comes with Microsoft Windows (typically found under “Accessories” -> “Communication” -> “Remote Desktop Connection”) or, on Linux system, the standard open-source rdesktop program to connect to the virtual machine remotely.
[125005660070] |You should use the IP address of your host system as the server address.
[125005660080] |The VRDP server uses the standard RDP TCP port 3389 by default.
[125005660090] |The port can be changed either in the GUI VM settings or with VBoxManage modifyvm command -vrdpport option.
[125005660100] |Note that only one machine can use a given port at a time.
[125005660110] |Also on Windows hosts the default RDP port (3389) could be already used by the Windows RDP server,in this case you should choose another port for your VM(s).
[125005660120] |With VirtualBox, the graphical user interface, the VRDP server is disabled by default, but can easily be enabled on a per-VM basis either with the VirtualBox GUI or with VBoxManage
[125005660130] |VBoxManage modifyvm -vrdp on

[125005670020] |An Ubuntu Linux-based distro landed this week for netbook users with the annoying sounding name of Easy Peasy 1.0.
[125005670030] |Easy Peasy, previously known as Ubuntu Eee, has dropped the Eee tag to signal that they’re gunning for more than just the Asus netbook market.
[125005670040] |The new moniker, logo and website should also help the outfit distinguish itself from Ubuntu’s sponsor Canonical or netbook vendor Asustek.
[125005670050] |“The Easy Peasy (formerly Ubuntu Eee) project is not affiliated with Canonical/Ubuntu, nor is it affiliated with Asus/Eee PC.
[125005670060] |Easy Peasy is a stand-alone project and is under re-branding to avoid these trademarks,” it said.

[125005680010] |How to Create a Private Encrypted Folder On Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
[125005680020] |eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant enterprise-class stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux.It provides advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself.
[125005680030] |Think of eCryptfs as a sort of “gnupgfs”.eCryptfs is a native Linux filesystem.
[125005680040] |The kernel module component of eCryptfs is part of the Linux kernel since 2.6.19.
