rotor posted:Then maybe I'm misunderstanding how this should work then. Apologies in advance for stupid questions, etc. 1. As I understand it, dnsmasq by default is not supposed to serve the local box, so you had to remove 127.0.0.1, and everything on the box will not be affected by dnsmasq at all (but then you wouldn't be able to resolve anything). I am not sure if dnsmasq is smart enough to understand that it is not an upstream server of itself, so I can speculate that it probably read /etc/resolv.conf with 127.0.0.1 on startup and tried to query itself for maximum confusion even if you edited that file while it was running. Since you want to have local applications to use dnsmasq to be able to resolve internal hostnames, I guess, the easiest solution would be to have /etc/resolv.conf file with nothing but "nameserver 127.0.0.1" (plus whatever "search" lines you may need), and list of "upstream" nameservers with nothing but "nameserver 10.0.0.1" -- say, in /etc/resolv-dnsmasq.conf , and "resolv-file=/etc/resolv-dnsmasq.conf" line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf . Then dnsmasq will only talk to the gateway, and local applications will only talk to dnsmasq. 2. The whole thing may be the result of the presence of "listen-address=" line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf that lists a real interface but not 127.0.0.1, so whatever dnsmasq is doing, is not visible to local applications at all, and they just time out. Just in case, check if /etc/dnsmasq.conf somehow modifies dnsmasq default behavior as a server (addresses, interfaces, etc.).

OK, here goes. I posted this in the Ubuntu thread and on the Ubuntu Forum, but no help yet. I used to be able to mount my iPod fine in Edgy and use Amarok to do whatever with it, but ever since upgrading to Feisty it's been unusable. Amarok works fine on its own, but when I connect my iPod to it it slows way, way, way down - to the point where opening a folder of songs takes over a minute. GtkPod does the same thing, and the same thing happens with my girlfriend's iPod. Mine's a 5.5G 30GB; hers is a 1G Nano. What should I do? I'm out of ideas.

I'm trying to record sounds made by programs on the desktop. Preferably I'd like to record all the sounds that would be heard if you were sitting at the computer. I've looked at jackd, but that seems to require that all the programs you use implement their interface (not possible), and screencast programs like ffmpeg and xvidcap just record, as far as I can tell, from normal capture devices like microphones. I know there is a hardware solution: plug line-out to line-in and set that as my capture device, but my hardware sucks and I get a terrible buzzing noise and fuzz when I do this. Any hw solution would have a reduction in quality anyway, right? So, is there a way to do this in software? I would prefer the mixed version of the whole desktop but I would be more than happy with a single program's audio track and then mix them myself. I'm using ALSA on Ubuntu Dapper Drake.

On Ubuntu Feisty, I open up the sound mixer, go to Edit->Preferences, enable "Mix" and "Capture", along with maybe some other input switches like "Line-In Capture" and "Microphone Capture", and close the dialog. Under Switches, select Mix, and set your capture level under Recording.

Does anyone know of a way to run Office 2007 with Wine (or Crossover Office) in Ubuntu 7.04? Even a 6.10 supported way would be helpful. I've searched for this extensively, but can only find two not very helpful comments in a Wine APP DB. Failing this, is there an open source version of OneNote that is an application (not really interested in the HTML wiki solution) and allows for the flexible cutting and pasting, formatting option?

Munkeymon posted:It seems to me like some process/job is eating the whole processor while it's doing something that takes it ~12 seconds then waits for what it thinks is a minute before doing that thing again. Network IO stops, the UI freezes, any input from me gets cached somewhere and acted upon when 'the event' is over with. Err, maybe I'm misreading your question, but isn't this your answer right here? The azureus process is taking up most/all of your cpu time and 20% of your memory. Compare the TIME column to all the other processes. Do you have it set to start at boot/login? You will continue to have these problems even after closing it since the software is horribly buggy and often doesn't kill the process even when the GUI is closed. See if kill -9 915 helps you. (killall -9 java would be alright except you seem to have another, unrelated java process running).

I don't have much experience with those PuTTY utilities, but just a few things to make sure you have set up correctly: -As mentioned in the comments, you should use ~/.ssh/authorized_keys . Make sure this is in the home folder of the user you are logging in as. -Make sure the following lines are in your server's sshd_config code:Besides that, all you need to do is put the public key on one line in authorized_keys and authenticate with the private key. Also, check the output in the server's log. Probably /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/syslog I assume you can log in with a password alright?

Okay, I finally switched to Solaris. Now, I have X11 and Compiz running, and that just fine, considering it's not goddamned Linux. However do I have a dual monitor setup, which requires me to activate TwinView to get Compiz running correctly. Dialog windows aren't shown in the middle of the screen with the default Gnome settings, aswell as windows maximize on a single screen instead of across. But when Compiz is running, all of that goes away. Dialogs and new windows appear in the middle, means half on each screen, maximizing makes a window occupy both screens. That's stupid. How do I fix this?

I'll check these out. For one, it has to compile under Solaris. However "cross-platform" on most "Unix" applications just means "Needs to compile on these bazillion different Linux distros that are basically the same operating system but each haxored into kind of not". Since JDS on Solaris is pretty much Gnome, I'll go dick around with Deluge first.

Does anyone know how I can permanently disable write-caching on any USB drives I happen to plug into my computer? Running Ubuntu Feisty. It's getting really loving annoying to transfer over a large block of files only to find out at an inconveinient time that they aren't loving there because I didn't unmount it properly. I don't care if this will reduce the life of my flash media or cause my drives to fragment faster. How the gently caress do I turn it off?

Recent as in, still in the source tree and not in packaged anywhere. If you want this to work, you'll have to switch to Beryl and compile from the source tree.

I have 2 web servers, one CentOS, the other win2k3, both set up with apache. What I would like to accomplish is that when a file changes in /var/www/html (on the linux machine) it's automatically mirrored to the other server (the windows machine) via FTP. I looked into rsync but I don't think it can do what I need. I also tried to google for other solutions, and found unison, but as I understand it, it will not run automatically. Is this possible in any way or am I crazy for thinking it up?

Both rsync and unison will be able to do that (though none of then use FTP -- it's not a good protocol anyway), however they won't start immediately after a file is changed. You can make a simple shell script that checks if timestamp on the directory (or any directory in a subtree) changed since the last time the directory was checked, and only then run rsync or other utility. The script can run in an infinite loop or be called from cron.

If the script will run in a loop with a small (half a minute) delay, and run rsync whenever a timestamp on a directory changes, it will end up copying files almost instantly. The reason why there is no special package for that is because people who need it usually can write it in 2-3 minutes for their specific needs.

We recently acquired some old celeron 500mhz machines to place in our company warehouse. Tonight, I would like to install a lightweight Linux disto that will be sufficient for these old machines to browse our web-based warehouse software. I tried installing Ubuntu Feisty earlier, but couldn't get it to boot into the LiveCD. Can someone recommend a distribution that would be quick and painless for an old machine to browse the net (with Firefox 2.0, due to all the web 2.0 poo poo), that'll also connect to our wireless access point straight out of the box (Ubuntu has no problem with this, using the wifi cards we have)?

You might have luck with drat Small Linux. It has Firefox built in, but I'm not sure which version. Xubuntu might also work for you. All the nice hardware support of Ubuntu, but with a nice, lightweight window manager. You might need the alternate install CD if the machines have less than (I think) 256mb of ram. It gives you a non-graphical install.

The first is kinda slow, and used mostly for maintenance, however the second remains being used as MY PRIMARY 3D CAD WORKSTATION.

I have my Feisty laptop set up to suspend when I close the lid, which is swell. But when the laptop is opened (say, by the security guy at the airport) and closed, it doesn't suspend again, because I haven't logged in to my GNOME session, and it sits around at full power, burning through the battery. I'd like to fix this problem, but there's plenty of other power management junk I haven't figured out yet, like how to get hibernate working. Is there a guide somewhere to getting GNOME Power Manager, or power management in general, to behave more sanely? edit: Ha, googling for more info on this turned up the GPM developer, who can't get his laptop to work.

OK, I'm having a strange problem. I just installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on a clean disk, no other OS. I can't get the machine to boot from the hard disk - GRUB won't load. If I insert a WinXP setup disk in the CD drive, suddenly GRUB loads. I get one line from the WinXP bootloader - "Please wait while your computer starts from the CD", then a couple dots, then GRUB takes off and Ubuntu loads without further ado. Any suggestions? What I've got works, but it's a kludge and I'd like to be able to boot directly from the hard drive.
