基本备注

  • 新手指南是一份非官方发行的文件。这份文件和Ubuntu 与 Canonical Ltd 都没有任何直接关系。
  • 这份指南的内容都已经在一台使用Ubuntu 6.06 x86 安装光盘 (Dapper Drake) 完整安装的系统上测试过。
  • 如果您看到青蓝色的方块,表示您需要在终端(应用程序 -> 附件 -> 终端)内执行上述的指令,或者使用其它方式执行上述的指令。
  • 为了避免打字错误引起的问题,请在终端机善加使用复制与粘贴这两个指令(用鼠标右键点选 "复制" 或者 "粘贴"。您也可以利用 Ctrl+C 进行 "复制" 以及使用 Shift+Insert 进行粘贴。)
  • "sudo" 代表 superuser do (超级使用者执行)。执行 "sudo" 后将会出现提示字符串 "Password:",请输入使用者密码。
  • 如果您需要了解任何一个命令的更多信息,您只须使用"man"命令来查阅它的帮助页面.譬如,"man sudo"会显示"sudo"命令的帮助页面。
  • 如果您厌倦每次打 "apt-get" 指令,请参阅 DapperGuide#How_to_apt-get_the_easy_way_.28Synaptic.29 #如何简单的使用 apt-get(新立得).
  • 使用 "apt-get" 和 "wget" 这两个指令来 安装 / 更新 / 下载程序时,请先确定您的系统已经连接上网络。
  • 下载文档时, 用鼠标右键点击链接 -> 选择 "链接另存为..." -> 请确认文件名称和扩展名都正确无误。
  • 如果您想要帮忙翻译 Ubuntu 或者其它方式帮助 Ubuntu 可以拜访 [[1]]
  • 愿 "humanity to others" 的精神长伴您左右...

如果你使用 Kubuntu 你不需要安装 gedit , 因为现在已经建立了动态链接由 geditkate, 应此您可以在下面使用所有的命令并不会有问题. 顺便提一下, 如果你希望使用 gedit 作为你的编辑器, 这样:

sudo apt-get install gedit

如果 "gedit" 命令 (动态链接) 无法工作, 您可以建立它:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kate /usr/bin/gedit

如果您在使用 64位版本请把 "i386" 换成 "amd64"

[[HTML(<a name="How_to_install_Windows_Applications_in_Linux_.28Wine.29"></a>)]]

如何安装 Windows Applications in Linux (Wine)


Wine Is Not an Emulator. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available.

In other words, Wine will let you run Windows applications in Linux.


  • First, add repository for Wine:


gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Add the following lines at the end of this file


# Repository for wine

# GDM Configuration Customization file.
#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
# GDM configuration.   If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
# file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to
# automatically update with the new configuration.  Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
# 
# To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in
# the appropriate section in the template below.  Refer to the comments in the
# gdm.conf file for information about each option.  Also refer to the reference
# documentation.
# 
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following
# command to get the GDM daemon to notice the change.  Any running GDM GUI
# programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# For example, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be specified by
# "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings.  You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon.  HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.
# 
# For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
# GNOME|System category.  You can also find the docs in HTML form on

  • Troubleshooting
          • If Xgl/Compiz doesn't seem to work, or you get errors, simply restart your machine after adding "thefuture" to Startup programs
          • If moving windows slows down the system, run gconf-editor from the terminal. Find apps/compiz/general/screen0/options. Disable detect_refresh_rate and set refresh rate to 60. Everything should work fine now...
          • If you are using a non default keyboard layout (other language), you might have to change it back to what you need if the keyboard acts funny at System/Settings/Keyboard.
          • You can also set the Super-key to the windows button here.
          • If you don't want "bottom expanded panel", type "killall gnome-panel" in terminal.


  • Tips
          • Switch windows = Alt + Tab
          • Arrange and View All Windows = F12 turns on or off; clicking a window will zoom it to the front
          • Switch desktops on cube = Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
          • Switch desktops on cube - with active window following = Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
          • Rotate cube manually = Ctrl + Alt + left-click

Activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox

Just add two lines to xorg.conf will activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox. This should work with most 5-button mouse. Here is a list of mice that worked with this instruction.

Logitech MX510
Logitech MX518

Backup Gnome configuration file

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

Modify the Gnome configuration file

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the Input Device section for your mouse and add two lines as shown below. You may also increase the number of buttons if your mouse has more than 7, just fix the rest of the section based upon the number of buttons (remember back/forward, wheel click & tilt left/right all count as buttons)

Change:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "Configured Mouse"
	Driver "mouse"
	Option "CorePointer"
	...
	Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
	...
	Option "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection

to:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "Configured Mouse"
	Driver "mouse"
	Option "CorePointer"
	...
	Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
	...
	Option "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
	Option "Buttons" "7"
	Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection


At this point you can reboot your computer or reboot Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace) to see if your forward/back buttons work in FireFox. They still won't work in Nautilus yet until you install the imwheel dameon.

如何 monitor CPU, GPU temperatures, fan speeds and voltages (GKrellM)

GKrellM is a hardware monitor that can display CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, CPU load, network load, disk activity, memory usage, and swap usage. The installation is very easy, and configuration is just a few mouse-clicks. You can set alerts to warn you if the CPU is too hot or there is a fan failure..


sudo apt-get install gkrellm

To run the program

Click 应用程序  -> 系统工具 -> GKrellM

To configure the settings,

Right click on GKrellM -> Configuration

I was struggling with lm_sensors before, but it doesn't detect all of the sensors on my computer, and the installation/configuration is a bit tedious. Later I found "GKrellM", which works much better. It displays the GPU temperature on my nVidia 6600 GT out of the box. GKrellM also has plugins that show weather info, set reminders, etc.

Add an audio alert (optional Step): Here is how to play an audio message when the CPU is too hot or a fan fails. First you need to find or record your own audio alert files. (I use Audacity to record my own.) Then go to:

Configuration -> Builtins folder (Left side)-> Sensors -> Temperatures folder (Right side)-> CPU -> Alerts Button

Paste ONE of the following lines into a Terminal window first to test the sound. If you have two sound cards, you can use "-ao oss:/dev/dsp1" option to route the sound to the second sound card. Modify the file path and name so it points to the correct file. If you can hear the sound, then copy that line to a command line text field on the GKrellM's Alerts window.

mplayer /home/myfolder/alert_messages/heat_alert.mp3
mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 /home/myfolder/alert_messages/heat_alert.mp3

modprobe ndiswrapper
  • Set ndiswrapper to load on startup


sudo ndiswrapper -m
gksudo gedit /etc/modules
  • Add the following module to the list


ndiswrapper
  • Now you can configure your wireless card with ifconfig and

iwconfig.


e.g. Supposing wlan0 is your wireless device.


sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "AP" key ababababababababab mode Managed
iwconfig
  • You sould now be able to see the MAC address of the access point and signal rate.

如何安装 a Wacom tablet

For a detailed guide with screenshots about how to configure the "Extended input devices" in your graphic applications, please follow the official Dapper guide at [27]

With the version of the Linux Wacom driver (0.7.2) in Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, if you unplug you tablet, it won't function when you plug it back in and you will have to restart X. For this reason, it is best to leave the tablet plugged in. This limitation will be removed when the 0.7.4 version of the driver is included in Ubuntu.


  • 1. Using Synaptic package manager1, check if the packages xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools are already installed - if not, install them. If you prefer using the command line, you can also execute :


     sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
  • 2. Save a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf :


      sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
  • then edit it with the command line :


      gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  • and change all /dev/wacom occurences into /dev/input/wacom (created by wacom-tools udev scripts), then save the file.


  • You should be ready to go after you have restarted X. Remember to configure the "Extended input devices" in your graphic applications (Gimp, Inkscape), however you can already check if it's working by moving your stylus on the tablet : the mouse cursor should go through the whole screen.

[[HTML(<a name="How_to_Configure_Ubuntu.2FKubuntu_with_WPA_using_Network-Manager"></a>)]]

如何配置 Ubuntu/Kubuntu with WPA using Network-Manager

Ubuntu Dapper in typical cases can configure WPA to work out of the box with minimal hassle. You'll need to install network-manager.


For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

For Kubuntu (will install knetworkmanager):

sudo apt-get install network-manager-kde

Logout/Reboot.

Ubuntu users should now see the NetworkManager Applet in the Gnome notification area. Kubuntu users will probably have to run knetworkmanager before they see NetworkManager in the systray.

If instead, you get a "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue." message, then:

sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Once Network-Manager is installed, click on the NM icon in the notification area (default is at the top right of Ubuntu/Gnome). Choose your network, then enter your passphrase. Type a password for the keyring, and you're set.

If you don't see your network, click "Create New Wireless Network...", type your essid/networkname, then choose "WPA Personal" for wireless security.


  • Note: If you installed Kubuntu then installed ubuntu-desktop & network-manager-gnome, you may not be able to use network-manager in Gnome, if at all. In this case, you may have to use WPA Supplicant and do some manual editing of conf files to get WPA up and running.


  • Note: When you first log into Gnome/KDE, the keyring application will ask for a password. Future revisions of Network-Manager should resolve this.

  • If you have a router remember to open the appropiate port the default one is 5900


This process is called port forwarding port forwarding


  • Download ChickenOfTheVNC: Here


  • Open ChickenOfTheVNC, and insert the host (IP adress of remote machine), the display number (0 is default and is port 5900) and the password.


In example use: Host: 192.168.0.1, Display 0, Password: password

Security

[[HTML(<a name="What_are_the_basic_things_I_need_to_know_about_securing_my_Ubuntu"></a>)]]

What are the basic things I need to know about securing my Ubuntu

  • Ensure hard drive is first in BIOS boot-up sequence
          • To prevent trespassers from using Linux Installation CD which allows them to gain root user access
          • To prevent trespassers from using Linux Live CD (e.g. UBUNTU/KNOPPIX/MEPIS) which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive
          • To prevent trespassers from installing another Operating System


  • Ensure a password is set for BIOS
          • To prevent trespassers from changing the BIOS boot-up sequence


  • Ensure computer is located at a secured place
          • To prevent trespassers from removing computer's hard drive which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive from a different computer
          • To prevent trespassers from removing computer's on-board battery which resets the BIOS password


  • Ensure passwords used on the system cannot be easily guessed
          • To prevent trespassers from cracking password file using brute force attacks (e.g. John the Ripper)
          • Create password with minimum length of 8 characters
          • Create password with mixture of characters/numbers, and upper/lower case


  • Ensure interactive editing control for GRUB menu is disabled
          • To prevent trespassers from modifying kernel boot-up arguments which allows them to have root user access


  • Ensure history listing is disabled in Console mode
          • To prevent trespassers from seeing previously issued commands


  • Ensure Ctrl+Alt+Del is disabled in Console mode
          • To prevent trespassers from restarting the system without permission in Console mode
          • Read [[[How to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del from restarting computer in Console mode]]]


  • Ensure interactive option is set for remove, copy and move of files/folders in Console mode
          • To prevent accidental removal/overwritten of files/folders


  • For day to day usage, login as a normal user
          • To prevent accidental deletion/modification of system files/folders


  • Disable root user account, use "sudo" instead
          • To reduce the amount of time spent with root privileges, and thus the risk of inadvertently executing a command as root
          • "sudo" provides a more useful audit trail

(/var/log/auth.log)


  • Install a Firewall
          • A firewall does not guarantee security but it is in most environments the first line of defense against network based attacks


  • Perform vulnerability test
          • Nessus is a great tool designed to automate the testing and discovery of known security problems



[[HTML(<a name="How_to_disable_all_interactive_editing_control_for_GRUB_menu"></a>)]]

如何 disable all interactive editing control for GRUB menu


  • Run This:
grub-md5-crypt 
Password: 
Retype password: 
$1$tumnZ1$xB/shuXs7MlawZXkLiBDV/
  • Backup your current configuration file


sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
  • 查找下面的段


...
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
#   password --md5 $1$tumnZ1$xB/shuXs7MlawZXkLiBDV/
# password topsecret
...
  • Add the following line below it


password --md5 $1$tumnZ1$xB/shuXs7MlawZXkLiBDV/ (encrypted password above)
  • Find the section(s) that look like this (note the 'recovery

mode' and the word 'single'):


...
title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386 (recovery mode)
root		(hd0,1)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot
...
  • Add lock between the title and root lines:


...
title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386 (recovery mode)
lock
root		(hd0,1)
...
  • 保存编辑好的文件


This will make it so your grub console will require a password to edit the lines, and the recovery modes won't work unless the password is typed. To access the other grub options at the menu, follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen. It will be something like pressing p and typing your password.


[[HTML(<a name="How_to_disable_history_listing_in_Console_mode"></a>)]]

如何 disable history listing in Console mode


rm -f .bash_history
gedit ~/.bash_profile
  • Add the following:


export HISTFILESIZE=4
unset HISTFILE=5

# Change this to a reasonable number of lines to save, I like to save only 100.
export HISTSIZE=1

# Ignores duplicate lines next to each other
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

This will disable Bash history for the user, retaining keystroke history and recall to use while limiting recall history to 100 lines. This will also not record duplicate lines next to each other.

[[HTML(<a name="How_to_setup_a_LoJack_system_for_your_laptop"></a>)]]

如何 setup a LoJack system for your laptop



What: Quote from Wikipedia: "LoJack is an aftermarket vehicle tracking system that allows cars to be tracked by police after being stolen. The manufacturer claims a 90% recovery rate. The name "LoJack" is a play on the word "hijack," meaning the theft of a vehicle through force."

Why: If your laptop is ever stolen and connected to the Internet. You will be able to find out from what IP it connects to the Internet from and contact the authorities.

How:


  • Get a free dynamic IP account from one of the many providers. Here we will use DynDNS.



sudo apt-get install ddclient 
  • Edit the configuration file /etc/ddclient.conf

using you fevorite text editor (emacs, gedit, kedit or even vi)


sudo emacs /etc/ddclient.conf
  • Make it look like this:


# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
use=web
server=members.dyndns.org
login=YourNameHere
password='YourPasswordHere'
YourHostNameHere.gotmyip.com

NOTE:

      • Make sure that you use the web IP detection method.
      • Specify your own user id instead of the place holder YourNameHere.
      • Specify your own password instead of the place holder YourPasswordHere, make sure to surround it with single quotes.
      • The last line should specify the hostname you registered with the dynamic IP service.


  • You can now start the ddclient daemon, or wait until your

next reboot.


sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start
  • The hostname you registered with your dynamic IP service should be updated. You can test it with the ping command:


ping YourHostNameHere.gotmyip.com

Even if your laptop has a firewall that prevents pings the hostname should resolve to the IP of the network gateway that your laptop is connected to.

Now all that is left is for someone to steal your laptop.....

Press "c" on boot menu. If you don't see a boot menu, press ESC key first when booting to show the boot menu. Type:

root (hd0,0)

Most likely you will get "(hd0,0) ext2fs", which should be your current Linux drive. Now change hd0 to hd1 to see what is there.

root (hd1,0)

If you get "(hd1,0) filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7", then hd1 is a Windows drive.

Now change hd1 to hd2, keep going until you reach hd7.

  • Make US English International (with dead keys) the default keyboard layout.


The key marked ['"] is now a dead key. When you press it, nothing happens. However if you press a consonant immediately afterwards, the consonant appears with an accent.


  • ' + a = á
  • ' + e = é
  • and so on for i-í, o-ó, y-ý, c-ć, z-ź, n-ń, l-ĺ, u-ú, r-ŕ


  • " + a = ä
  • " + e = ë
  • and so on for y-ÿ, u-ü, i-ï, o-ö


Similarly, ` and a consonant generates à, è, ù, ì, ò. Similarly, ~ and a consonant generates ã, ũ, ĩ, õ, ñ.

To type ' and ", press RightAlt+' and RightAlt+" respectively. To type ' and ", you may also press '+<space> and "+<space> respectively.

There are more characters available by keeping RightAlt pressed and typing a character. Therefore,


  • RightAlt+q = ä
  • RightAlt+w = å
  • RightAlt+e = é
  • RightAlt+r = ®
  • RightAlt+t = þ
  • RightAlt+y = ü
  • RightAlt+u = ú
  • RightAlt+i = í
  • RightAlt+o = ó
  • RightAlt+p = ö
  • RightAlt+[ and ] for « and » respectively.
  • RightAlt+a = á

  • RightAlt+d = ð
  • RightAlt+l = ø
  • RightAlt+; = ¶
  • RightAlt+: = °
  • RightAlt+z = æ
  • RightAlt+c = ©
  • RightAlt+n = ñ
  • RightAlt+m = µ
  • RightAlt+, = ç
  • RightAlt+/ = ¿

  • RightAlt+3 = ³
  • RightAlt+4 = ¤
  • RightAlt+5 = €
  • RightAlt+6 = ¼
  • RightAlt+7 = ½
  • RightAlt+8 = ¾
  • RightAlt+9 = ‘
  • RightAlt+0 = ’
  • RightAlt+- = ¥
  • RightAlt+= = ×


  • RightAlt+! = ¹
  • RightAlt+@, then o = ő (and Ő).
  • RightAlt+#, then a = ā (and Ā). Similarly for ēĒ, ūŪ, īĪ, ōŌ.
  • RightAlt+$ = £
  • RightAlt+% =
  • RightAlt+^ =
  • RightAlt+& =
  • RightAlt+*, then a = ą (and Ą). Similarly for ęĘ, įĮ.
  • RightAlt+(, then a = ă (and Ă)
  • RightAlt+(, then g = ğ (and Ğ)
  • RightAlt+), then a = å (and Å)
  • RightAlt+_ =

  • RightWin + C + = produces €
  • RightWin + = + C produces €
  • RightWin + C + O produces ©
  • RightWin + O + C produces ©
  • RightWin + a + ' produces á
  • RightWin + a + " produces ä
  • RightWin + a + ` produces à
  • RightWin + a + ~ produces ã
  • RightWin + a + * produces å
  • RightWin + a + ^ produces â
  • RightWin + a + > produces â
  • RightWin + a + , produces ą
  • RightWin + e + - produces ē
  • RightWin + S + 1 produces ¹
  • RightWin + S + 2 produces ²
  • RightWin + S + 3 produces ³

如何 limit the user accounts that can connect through ssh remotely


e.g. If you enable the SSH server, then any user with a valid account can connect remotely

This can lead to security risks, as there exist remote password cracking tools that

try common username/password pairs.


  • Keep a backup of the ssh server configuration file with

sudo cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.ORIGINAL


  • Edit the configuration file


gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config


  • Change the parameter PermitRootLogin from yes to no. The superuser must not be able to connect directly from remote.
  • Add the parameter AllowUsers and specify the usernames (space separated) that can connect remotely.
  • You can also use DenyUsers for fine-grained selection of users.
  • If you enable the openssh server and you have no intention for now to enable remote connections, you may add AllowUsers nosuchuserhere to disable anyone connecting.

如何安装 MYSQL Database Server


sudo apt-get install mysql-server
  • MySQL initially only allows connections from the localhost (127.0.0.1). We'll need to remove that restriction if you wish to make it accessible to everyone on the internet. Open the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf


gksudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  • Find the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and comment it out


...
#bind-address           = 127.0.0.1
...
  • MySQL comes with no root password as default. This is a huge security risk. You'll need to set one. So that the local computer gets root access as well, you'll need to set a password for that too. The local-machine-name is the name of the computer you're working on. For more information see here


mysqladmin -u root password your-new-password
mysqladmin -h root@local-machine-name -u root password your-new-password

[[HTML(<a name="How_to_upgrade_from_Hoary_Hedgehog_-.3E_Breezy_Badger_-.3E_Dapper_Drake"></a>)]]

如何 upgrade from Hoary Hedgehog -> Breezy Badger -> Dapper Drake

  • First, make sure you're fully upgraded:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • If you don't have a CD available make SURE you comment/remove the line pertaining to your CD media


gksudo g /etc/apt/sources.list

/etc/apt/sources.list

for an upgrade to breezy your sources.list should look something similar to this:

## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted


deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe</div>



  • To upgrade from breezy to dapper, just replace (ctrl+h) all instances of 'breezy' with 'dapper' within the /etc/apt/sources.list


  • 保存这个文件.


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Save your session, reboot, and enjoy.


NOTE:


  • I would NOT suggest upgrading directly from hoary to dapper. Upgrade: hoary->breezy->dapper
