Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, Feisty Fawn 的后续版本，于 2007 年 10 月 18 日已经发布。请帮忙测试和完善这份指南

这份指南由 Chua Wen Kiat (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). 发起。现在它由Latvia 大学的Linux 中心和所有愿意贡献的其他人们共同维护。

这份手册可以在官方论坛 ubuntuforums.org 的UbuntuGuide.org 论坛 讨论。加入讨论吧。

前言

关于 Gutsy

• 2007 年 10 月 18 日，Ubuntu 7.10 发布。
• 它被命名为 Gutsy Gibbon，它是 Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn 的后续版本(Feisty +1 或紧接 Feisty 之后发布的版本)
• Gutsy 将在桌面和服务器版本上提供 18 个月的支持
• 要求更长期服务器版本支持的用户可以选择 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ，而不是更新到 7.10, 因为 6.06 的安全支持直到 2011 年。

如何知道您正在使用的 Ubuntu 的版本

• 阅读[[|#General Notes]]
• 在 Gutsy 中转到 系统 -> 系统管理 -> 系统监视器 -> 系统 选项卡
  

或者在所有的 Ubuntu 版本及派生版中都可以使用这个命令：

lsb_release -a

Ubuntu 的更新的版本

• Ubuntu 采用 6 个月的发行周期
• 一般发布在 4 月和 10 月
• 下一次的发布计划在 2008 年 4 月 24 日，并命名为 Ubuntu 8.04(Hardy Heron)即 Gutsy+1。
• Hardy Heron 将是 LTS(长期支持)版本，将提供 5 年的服务器版本安全支持和 3 年的桌面版本支持。

Ubuntu 的老版本

• 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)

• 6.10 (Edgy Eft)

• 6.06 (Dapper Drake)

如果您使用一个 Ubuntu 的过时的版本，您应该考虑将其升级到 Gutsy。 这个版本有相当多的改进，并且和将来的版本更加容易整合。如果您使用其作为一个生产环境，或您认为所有的事情都很完美，您可以考虑仍然使用长期支持版本(LTS)。

• Ubuntu 升级页面

• Dapper 是最新的 LTS 版本，Gutsy+1 的新版本将是下一个 LTS 版本。

• 读一下从 2007 年 4 月开始的Gutsy Gibbon 简介

General Notes

1. 这是一个非官方的 Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) 初学者向导. 它与 Ubuntu和 Canonical 公司都没有关系.
2. 这个向导发自于官方论坛（UbuntuGuide.org Forum at ubuntuforums.org).欢迎参与讨论。 
3. 如果您看到蓝色方框，这意味着您需要在终端模式中执行这些命令（应用程序 -〉附件 -〉终端）或者按照相应说明执行方框中的内容。
4. 在终端模式，您也可以用“复制”“粘贴”来代替用键盘键入命令，这样往往可以有效的防止输入错误。（Ctrl+c=复制,Shift+Insert=粘贴）
5. "sudo" 表示 "substitute user do''. sudo 需要您提供密码（密码不会在终端中回显）. 您可以利用sudo代替另一个用户在计算机上操作－比如  sudo -u peter <命令> 将会以peter的身份在计算机上执行此命令。
   
6. 欲获得更多关于命令的信息，请参阅手册页。例如，在终端中输入“man sudo”可以获得与sudo相关的信息。
7. 您也可以使用更新管理器来代替"apt-get"(系统－系统管理－更新管理器)
8. "apt-get"和"wget"都需要网络连接来下载安装和更新程序
   
9. 所以涉及 "aptitude"的选项都可以用"apt-get"替代.当然可以继续使用"aptitude",但是这可能会造成一些依赖性上的问题。
   
10. 可以点击右键选择“链接另存为”来下载文件，但必须保证文件的名字和拓展名都是正确的
11. 如果您有意向帮助Ubuntu本土化，请访问 https://launchpad.net/
12. 善待他人的理念永远和Ubuntu一起伴随着您...
13. 如果使用的是64位的版本，请在“i386”用“amd64”代替

外部链接申明

这份指南中的很多部分都有外部链接，这可以使这份指南更加精悍，然而Ubuntugide.org不能保证每个链接都是有效的。我们不能对本指南以外的一些拓展链接负责，如果您发现哪个链接是无效的，那请在此处报告问题，或者为我们修正那些指向错误的外部链接。因为有您，我们才能做的更加完美。

更新升级和安装软件

如何添加新的软件仓库

Work in Progress

通过菜单

• 选择更加友好的软件仓库。这是Ubuntu发行系统的一部分。推荐使用这种方法。

系统-->系统管理-->软件源

在您认为您将要用到的软件仓库(main, universe, restricted, multiverse)的前面选中。您可能不需要源码软件仓库。

• 增加第三方软件仓库。这些软件仓库不会被监视，然而，有些十分流行。使用第三方软件仓库会增加您的风险。

系统-->系统管理-->软件源-->第三方软件-->添加

为您的软件仓库命名。在这个例子中，我们将要用Medibuntu，一个十分流行但是没有被Ubuntu接纳的软件仓库。

APT行：deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free

• 下载任何需要的 gpg 钥匙并将它们添加到钥匙列表。钥匙是用来验证软件仓库和系统的配套性。我们用Medibuntu 的软件仓库（非 Ubuntu 附属）的例子来说明：

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

手动方法

• 备份您现有的软件源列表

sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup

• 用一个文本编辑器打开软件源列表

Ubuntu 的用户：

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

• 用下面的行复盖所有内容

如果您希望使用当地的软件仓库境象站点，请在 archive.ubuntu.com前面加上“cc.” (cc = 您的国家缩写)

例如 deb http://lv.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

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

1. 包括了发行版发布後的後续漏洞修复更新

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

1. 社区维护的开源软件 (Universe)

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

1. 被版权与合法性问题限制的软件 (Multiverse)

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse

1. 移植应用程序 (Backports)

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

1. Canonical 合作伙伴软件仓库
   

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security universe deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security multiverse

1. PLF 软件仓库 (不被支持的. 可能包括非法软件包. 使用它具有一定风险.)

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free

• 保存编辑好的文件

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

怎样从Feisty 升级到 Gutsy

• 一步一步地按照屏幕显示的升级向导把Ubuntu Feisty 升级到 Gutsy

如何编辑自动更新

• 从菜单打开自动更新:

系统-->管理-->软件源-->更新

选定重要安全更新和建议安全更新以及其他需要的更新。选取定期更新。

如何手动升级 Ubuntu

• 查阅[[|#General Notes]]
• 查阅[[|#How to add extra repositories]]

• 通过命令行：

使用http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ 网页来生成/etc/apt/sources.list 文件

备份现有的/etc/apt/sources.list文件
根椐浏览器中生成的页面内容，创建新的/etc/apt/sources.list 文件
然後运行下面的命令

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

• 通过主菜单：

System -> Administration -> Update Manager

系统 ->系统管理 ->更新管理器

添加应用程序

Adobe Reader Gutsy amd64/i386

• 手把手教Acrobat Reader 8之Firefox的插件安装

首先

echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

然後

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

接着我们安装上阅读器及其插件

sudo aptitude install acroread acroread-plugins acroread-escript

同样，您可以安装上Firefox的插件

sudo aptitude install mozilla-acroread

享用Adobe Reader

OpenOffice 插件

用Ubuntu下的OpenOffice打开.docx文件(其它的发行版本可能也可行)

首先我们需要下载转换工具，它可以从这里下载> [1] 下载"odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm"

如果您还没有安装alien的话，现在把它装上

sudo apt-get install alien

接着转换它的包格式，我们不想让它转换为.deb包，所以我们使用-ct的命令参数，而不是-k，命令参数-ct将其转换为.tgz包

sudo alien -ct odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm

转换好後您需要将包解压缩

tar xvf odf-converter-1.0.0.tgz

现在在您的桌面上或者任何您将其解压缩的地方都会有3个文件夹

运行

sudo cp usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/OdfConverter /usr/lib/openoffice/program/

sudo cp usr/lib/ooo-2.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Filter/MOOXFilter_cpp.xcu /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Filter

sudo cp usr/lib/ooo-2.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Types/MOOXTypeDetection.xcu /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Types

Then you are done, you can now open and edit .docx files ONLY I will post the others when I find them.

在Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)上安装"odf converter"还有另一种方法，只需如下简单的3步:

(首先确保您拥有root权限，在终端下，输入sudo su -并在提示後输入您的密码)

第一步: echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/" >>/etc/apt/sources.list

第二步: apt-get update

第三步: apt-get install odf-converter

我试了以上3步并让它成功在我机器上运行了起来，大家可以试试，以便让我知道是否会有人用出问题来。

高级桌面特效 (Compiz Fusion)

Compiz Fusion 是 Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon 默认安装的，也就是说通常用户是不需要修改关键的配置文件的。但是在很多地方，Compiz 需要私有驱动以确保您的显卡可以正常工作，因此，您必须确认您是否安装了它要求的驱动。

要开启桌面特效，打开 系统 > 首选项 > 外观 在 视觉效果 选项卡下您将看到三个选项： 无、正常 和 附加。如果要开启 Compiz，请在后两项中选择一个。

如果您希望定制您的 Compiz 选项和插件，譬如动画效果或桌面立方体，您需要先去安装一个配置工具：

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager 

然后打开外观对话框，在视觉效果选项卡下选择 自定义 和 gtk 首选项， 或者通过选择菜单的 系统 > 首选项 > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings来打开配置界面。您也可以在终端或运行对话框(ALT + F2)中输入 ccsm来打开它。

ATI 用户与 Compiz

一部分 ATI 显卡不需要私有的驱动就可以开启 Compiz，就好比说开源的(radeon)也是支持3D加速的。尽管如此，开源驱动仍做不到像闭源的(fglrx) 那么快。好吧，如果您需要一个私有驱动，您就需要安装后在终端做一点小的修正。

1. 首先，无论您是从其他网站还是在ATI官方网站下载的，当您安装完驱动后，您必须设置 Xorg 的配置文件来使您的新驱动生效。一定不要忘记在修改之前备份好当前的文件，如果那一步做错了，可以随时打开终端并输入：

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

此项操作将禁用默认的 radeon 驱动并开启 ATI 的驱动。

2. 现在，我们来告诉 Compiz 不要管那些列在黑名单中的驱动：

echo SKIP_CHECKS="yes" >> $HOME/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

当然，您也可以将它加入白名单。这将是更加完美的解决方案。运行这个命令来编辑Compiz的启动脚本：

gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz

搜索 Driver whitelist 然后在行的结尾处增加 fglrx，像这样：

# Driver whitelist
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx"

3. 重启您的计算机，登录然后开启Compiz 作为上面提到的 et voilà! 看一看 Compiz 拥抱 ATI 吧！

系统实时监视

sudo apt-get install netspeed
 

在顶部面板的空白区域右击并选择“添加到面板..."。添加”系统监视器“和”网络监视器“。在系统监视器上右击并选择”选项“。添加您想监视的监视资源。

桌面会话录制

用来记录整个桌面会话，包括鼠标指针和系统音效。这对于视频截屏是很有用的工具，因为按Print Screen键所生成的常规静态图像往往不能表明所有的东西。有三个程序可以为您做到这些，他们是Istanbul，Wink和gtk-recordMyDesktop。

Istanbul

sudo apt-get install istanbul

Wink

sudo apt-get install wink

gtk-recordMyDesktop

sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop

International Clock Gnome Applet (OpenSuse contribution)

To switch to the new international clock applet download it from Here then install it with dpkg.

Configuring Evolution for Gmail

Visit http://mail.google.com/mail/ and click settings (should be in top right corner). Select Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

• If you want to use POP, select either "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)" or "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on".
• If you want to use IMAP, select "Enable IMAP".

Save changes.

Open Evolution from Applications -> Internet -> Evolution Mail. If no mail account has been created before, a mail account setup wizard will automatically be opened. Otherwise open it from Edit -> preferences -> Mail Accounts -> Add. Click Forward. Enter your email address for Gmail (including @gmail.com). Click Forward.

• If you have enabled POP from Gmail set "Server Type" to POP, "Server" to pop.gmail.com, and "Use Secure Connection" to "SSL encryption".
• If you have enabled IMAP from Gmail, set "Server Type" to IMAP, "Server" to imap.gmail.com, and "Use Secure Connection" to "SSL encryption".

Click Forward. Click Forward. Set "Server" to smtp.gmail.com, and "Use Secure Connection" to "SSL encryption". Click Forward. Click Forward. Click Apply.

Note that IMAP support for GMAIL is being rolled-out currently (Oct. 2007) but is not available to everyone with a GMAIL account yet. So use POP until IMAP is available for every user.

SwiftFox

Swiftfox is the Firefox web browser, but built with optimizations to increase speed on specific CPU types. It is compatible with all Firefox extensions and themes, and uses the same settings location as Firefox, so you can use both transparently.

Instructions from getswiftfox.com

• Add the Swiftfox repository

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

• Add this line at the bottom

deb http://getswiftfox.com/builds/debian unstable non-free

• Update apt sources

sudo apt-get update

• Check your CPU compatibility here
• Install your version of Swiftfox

sudo apt-get install swiftfox-pentium4

• Run with

Programs > Internet > Swiftfox

• There is also an [installer] available that is distro independent. It is a script that downloads and installs Swiftfox in the /opt directory and attempts to use existing Firefox plugins. The installer is probably the best way for most non-Ubuntu and non-Debian users to install Swiftfox.

Azureus (Java BitTorrent 客户端) 

安装Azureus的简单方法是： sudo apt-get install azureus 但是它有相当多的依赖关系。 这里讨论了一个替代的方法。另外，您创建一个文件 /usr/share/applications/Azureus.desktop 在其中添加下列命令行使得它出现在主菜单中。

[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Terminal=false Name=Azureus Exec=/usr/local/azureus/azureus Comment=Java BitTorrent client Categories=Application;Network; MimeType=application/x-bittorrent; Icon=/usr/local/azureus/Azureus.png

(这里假设 azureus 安装在 /usr/local directory)

更新：一个全新的Azureus包现已可以从gutsy-backports获得，相比main源中的版本好的多。它修复了许多稳定性问题并且使用icedtea/Java 7编译。当您阅读此内容时，它可能已经可以从main源中获得了。因而，您应该在通过apt-get安装azureus之前确认使用了gutsy-backports源。

Deluge ( 一个用python编写的轻量级的BitTorrent客户端）

如果您需要一个比Azureus占用更少内存和CPU时间的客户端，那么您可以尝试Deluge。然而由于从Ubuntu 源获取的版本存在稳定性问题，那么比较好的选择是使用Deluge官方网站 上现成的Gutsy专用包来安装最新的版本。安装只需点击和您的版本和系统架构（“i386”对应32位系统而“x86_64"对应64位系统）对应的Debian包并选择使用GDebi package installer来安装它。

DC++ client (Linuxdcpp)

• Install:

sudo apt-get install linuxdcpp

• Then go

Main Menu->Intenet->DC++

多媒体播放器

怎样安装 Mplayer 和 Multimedia Codecs（解码器）

   安装 mplayer 和 codecs的简单向导

• Mplayer 和 Multimedia Codecs的安装指导手册

• 从这里 下载 SMPlayer (MPlayer的一个很棒的前端) 然後双击安装它。 smplayer这个前端也可以在软件包管理器中安装。

  关于64位版本 Mplayer 对 wmv9 格式支持问题

    AMD64版本的Mplayer不能正确的播放wmv9格式的文件。 要播放wmv9，您需要安装32位版本的mplayer, 和所有需要的解码器.。相较于我新安装的Gutsy，我不需要额外安装它所依赖的库文件，这让配置mplayer的工作简单多了。这就是说，做完这些步骤後您就可以随时观赏wmv9的文件了。

下载  mplayer32 for Edgy 的版本 (被证明能稳定地工作) 放到临时的文件夹中。

mkdir mplayer32temp

Netbeans IDE

Netbeans 是一个平台非依赖的Java 集成开发环境。但它也能以插件的形式支持C/C++, Ruby, portals 和其他一些工具。从编写的角度看，5.5版是最新的稳定版本并且可以如下方式安装：

sudo apt-get install netbeans5.5

或者您可以下载 Netbeans 6.0 并手动安装它。安装包的大小会从 11 MB 到 200 MB不等。

Netbeans Web & Java EE 集成包

如果您想使用NetBeans来进行网站开发并集成Java EE，下载 "Netbeans with Web & Java EE" 集成包，对于安装附加模块的插件机制不受推荐，因为它将其安装在用户目录(~/.netbeans/6.0beta2/modules/)而不是系统范围内的安装目录(/usr/local/netbeans-6.0beta2/nb6.0/modules/) 

Netbeans Web & Java EE 集成包带有2个内建的运行环境：

• GlassFish V2 Build 58g
• Apache Tomcat 6.0.14

他们对开发和出品都十分有利。这样您就不用分别安装Sun Java Application Server和Apache Tomcat。同样，卸载Netbeans将不会卸载他们。您需要分别卸载他们。

但如果您想要另外安装服务器，通常您需要以root身份运行Netbeans。或者您也可以改变Tomcat和GlassFish配置文件的用户/组和权限以使他们和Netbeans协同工作。

Eclipse IDE

Eclipse IDE 是 Netbeans IDE 之外的另一个选择。事实上，它或许在Linux用户中更流行。您可以从 Eclipse website 直接安装它或者使用 apt-get来安装:

sudo apt-get install eclipse

Anjuta IDE

Anjuta 是一个主要用作 C/C++ 开发的集成开发环境。不如其他集成开发环境那样可靠。然而，它仍有一些有用的插件提供了大多数其他集成开发环境所具有的功能。(GUI 开发, 项目向导，等)

sudo apt-get install anjuta

PostgreSQL

Postgresql is a well supported and open source database server. There is a long debate regarding whether MySQL is better or PostgreSQL. Actually, there are similar debates like it: Gnome vs KDE, Perl vs Python, PHP vs JSP, Java vs .Net (or Mono). But from installation point of view, it has been seen that PostgreSQL is lighter and requires less dependency than MySQL.

Installing PostgreSQL

To Install PostgreSQL (both client and server):

sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.2

To install PostgreSQL documentation:

sudo apt-get install postgresql-doc-8.2

To install JDBC3 driver for PostgreSQL:

sudo apt-get install libpg-java

To enable php support for PostgreSQL:

sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql

To do administrative works graphically:

sudo apt-get install pgadmin3

To do web-based administrative works:

sudo apt-get install phppgadmin

Configuring PostgreSQL

To use postgresql, create a database instance and a user/role:

sudo -u postgres createdb $USER

sudo -u postgres createuser $USER

Making both database instance and user/role as your login ID lets you to start PostgreSQL client very easily:

psql

To login as the administrator:

sudo -u postgres psql

To be able to login from remote machine or from PHP or through JDBC driver, you have to set your password from PostgreSQL client (psql):

ALTER USER user PASSWORD 'pass';

replace user and pass by your user name and password respectively. To test whether remote login works or not, run:

psql -h host -p 5432 -d database -U user

Visit http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php to see how php works with PostgreSQL.

Using pgadmin3

To configure PostgreSQL using pgadmin3:

• Open psql client as administrator postgres (see above Configure PostgreSQL)
• Change the password for the administrator postgres (see above)
• Open Applications -> System Tools -> pgAdmin III from main menu.
• Open File -> Add Server...
• Set Address to localhost or 127.0.0.1 (or something you have set)
• Give a Description by which this connection will be identified.
• Accept default port (5432), SSL (_blank_), Maintenance DB (postgres) and Username (postgres)
• set the Password that you have set earlier. Click OK.

Using phppgadmin

To configure PostgreSQL using phppgadmin run:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phppgadmin /var/www/phpPgAdmin

Set a password for administrator: postgres (see [[|#Configuring_PostgreSQL]]).

Open /etc/phppgadmin/config.inc.php and change:

$conf['extra_login_security'] = false;

It will enable administrative login. Finally visit http://localhost/phpPgAdmin/ to login.

Using PostgreSQL with OpenOffice

• Open Applications -> Office -> OpenOffice.org Database.
• Select 'Connect to an existing database'. From the list select JDBC and click Next.
• Make Datasource URL to:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost/database

Replace localhost by your hostname, database by the database instance you have created.

• Set JDBC driver class to:

org.postgresql.Driver

• Click 'Test class' to make sure JDBC driver class connects Datasource URL properly. Click Next.
• Type your User name and select 'Password required' option.
• Click Test connection. A popup dialog will appear. Enter your password and click OK.
• If everything works properly, then a confirmation dialog will appear.
• Click Next. Some optional settings will appear. Click Finish to complete.

Using PostgreSQL JDBC driver

The following Java code is a simple program to illustrate how JDBC can be used with Postgresql:

// pgVersion.java

import java.sql.*;

class pgVersion {

public static void main(String arg[]) throws Exception {

if(arg.length!=4) { System.out.println("usage: java pgVersion host database user password"); return; } // Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); Driver driver=new org.postgresql.Driver(); DriverManager.registerDriver(driver); String url="jdbc:postgresql://"+arg[0]+"/"+arg[1]+"?user="+arg[2]+"&password="+arg[3]; Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url); Statement stat=conn.createStatement(); ResultSet rs=stat.executeQuery("SELECT version()"); rs.next(); System.out.println(rs.getString("version")); rs.close(); stat.close(); conn.close(); DriverManager.deregisterDriver(driver); }

}

You can run the former code in two ways:

• Using CLASSPATH environment variable:

export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/postgresql.jar:.

javac pgVersion.java java pgVersion host database user password

Here host, database, user and password should be substituted according to your configuration. To make $CLASSPATH permanent, you have to save the command in either /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc.

• Alternately, you can run as follows:

javac -classpath /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar pgVersion.java

java -classpath /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar:. pgVersion host database user password

The output is as expected:

PostgreSQL 8.2.5 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070831 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu1)

MySQL

According to this page both MySQL and PostgreSQL are good alternatives of proprietary softwares like DB2, Sybase, Oracle, SQL Server etc.

To install both the server and client:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

db4free is a great database server for tryout different things remotely. If you want to use this site, then you do not have to install MySQL server. Just install the client, documentation and php or jdbc connectivity.

IBM DB2

Visit here for software available from IBM. According to this page, DB2 can be installed on ubuntu.

Download

To download DB2 trial visit here and select: IBM DB2 9.5 Data Server trial. Then you have to sign in (create an account if not already created) in order to download. Choose either of the following:

• DB2 9.5 data server trial for Linux(R) on AMD64 and Intel(R) EM64T systems (x64)
• DB2 9.5 data server trial for Linux(R) on System z

Then answer questions and click 'I confirm' at the bottom. Finally click 'I confirm' button to start downloading.

Alternately, visit here and select: IBM DB2 9.5 Express-C. Then choose DB2 Express-C 9.5 for Linux and click continue. Then answer questions and click 'I confirm' at the bottom. Finally select either of the following:

• DB2 Express-C for Linux operating system, 32-bit architecture
• DB2 Express-C for Linux operating system, 64-bit architecture

click 'I confirm' button to start downloading.

Installing DB2

I choose 'DB2 Express-C for Linux operating system, 32-bit architecture' to demonstrate how to install. If you have chosen a different version, make necessary changes accordingly. Let's assume the downloaded file is on your home directory. Then do the following:

tar -xf db2exc_950_LNX_x86.tar.gz

cd ~/exp sudo apt-get install libaio1 sudo ./db2setup

Select 'Install a Product' from the left side of the generated window and click 'Install New'. Another window will be opened. Then following the instructions to complete the installation. You are encouraged to create new user and groups (dasusr1/dasadm1, db2inst1/db2iadm1, db2fenc1/db2fadm1) during installation.

Uninstalling DB2

If you have installed with all default settings (as mentioned above) then just running the following commands would remove the db2 completely. In case you have changed something during installation, then make appropriate changes accordingly.

cd /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5

./instance/db2ilist sudo instance/db2idrop db2inst1 sudo install/db2_deinstall -a cd && sudo rm -r /opt/ibm/ sudo userdel -r dasusr1 sudo userdel -r db2fenc1 sudo userdel -r db2inst1 sudo groupdel dasadm1 sudo groupdel db2fadm1 sudo groupdel db2iadm1

Before running those commands, please make sure:

• Make sure, db2 is not running.
• Identify DB2 installation directory (E.g /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5)
• Identify DB2 instances (using db2ilist command, see the second command)
• Drop each and every instances (using db2idrop command, third command)
• If you have other IBM softwares in /opt/ibm then remove only /opt/ibm/db2 directory.
• Delete user and group accounts that you have created for db2.

Oracle database

• Download Oracle database XE from here. Then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
• Alternately, visit this page to see some installation guides provided by some users. This page is particularly seems very useful. (--Tamal 07:51, 14 November 2007 (EET))

SSH

How to install SSH Server for remote administration service

• Read [[|#General Notes]]
• Read [[|#How to add extra repositories]]

sudo apt-get install ssh

How to SSH into remote Ubuntu host

• Read [[|#General Notes]]

The Ubuntu host must be running the SSH Server. Read [[|#How to install SSH Server for remote administration service]].

In this example:

Remote Ubuntu machine: 192.168.0.2 username is a valid user on the remote host

ssh [email protected]

You can tunnel to a URL as well:

ssh [email protected]

If your LAN uses a dynamic IP to connect to the Internet, you can use a Dynamic IP service (such as DynDNS) to assign a static URL to your LAN (foobar.dyndns.org, for example). An SSH request over the Internet to your URL (e.g. foobar.dyndns.org) would then be routed by the DynDNS service to your modem/router. Your router must then be set to forward the port used for the SSH tunnel to your host machine on the LAN. (SSH tunnels generally occur by default over port 22, but it can be changed (see below)).

For some humor: Read Etymology of foobar. You can explicitly select the port number (instead of port 22) for the SSH tunnel:

ssh [email protected]:11022

However, if you do this, the host SSH server must be listening on the same port (port 11022 in the example). The port to listen to can be set in the ssdh_config file of the OpenSSH server (provided in Ubuntu) on your host. Also, your router must be configured to forward port 11022 to your OpenSSH host.

How to change SSH Server Port Number

• Read [[|#General Notes]]
• Read [[|#How to install SSH Server for remote administration service]]

Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config for editing

gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Look for the line

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for

Port 22

Change 22 to the value you want, then save and restart the SSH server

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

Using SSH to Port Forward

• Read [[|#General Notes]]
• The Ubuntu host must be running the SSH Server. Read [[|#How to install SSH Server for remote administration service]].
• The format of the client command to create an SSH tunnel to an OpenSSH host listening on the default port 22 is:

ssh -L <local port>:<remote computer>:<remote port> <user>@<remote ip>

An example is:

ssh -L 6669:94.92.10.15:6667 foowho

In this example, local port 6669 on the local client computer is tunneled by encrypted SSH over the default port 22 to the router at 94.92.10.15. The router must be set up to forward port 22 to whatever the internal LAN IP (such as 192.168.0.56) of the SSH host is. The host is running OpenSSH (ssdh service) and is set to listen to port 22. It then routes the incoming data to the host port 6667, where presumably some other program is waiting for data. foowho has an account on the host running the OpenSSH server.

SSH tunnels can also be established using URLs and even alternate ports. An example is:

ssh -L 5900:foobar.dyndns.org:5900 foowho -p 11022

In this example, local port 5900 on the client is forwarded through an SSH tunnel on port 11022 to foobar.dyndns.org. The DNS service translates foobar.dyndns.org into the appropriate WAN (Internet) IP address, where the router is listening. The router is set up to forward port 11022 to the LAN machine hosting the OpenSSH server, which is listening on port 11022. It then sends the data to whatever program is running on port 5900 on the host.

• You can forward a local port to a different port on the remote host.

Example: Make port 80 (web server/browser) on the remote host at 10.0.2.10 available locally as port 81

ssh -L 81:10.0.2.10:80 [email protected]

• You can create secure SSH tunnels to multiple hosts using multiple ports.

ssh -L 81:10.0.2.10:80 -L 82:10.0.2.20:80 -L 83:10.0.2.30:80 [email protected]

Now, local port 81 locally forwards to port 80 on the host at 10.0.2.10, local port 82 forwards to port 80 on the host at 10.0.2.20 and local port 83 forwards to port 80 on the host at 10.0.2.30. In this example, user has an account on all three host machines at 10.0.2.10, 10.0.2.20, and 10.0.2.30.

• Once port forwarding is set up by ssh, an application is directed to the SSH tunnel for port usage by using the loopback as the destination.

Example 1:

ssh -L 81:10.0.2.10:80 [email protected]

http://localhost:81 or http://127.0.0.1/:81 

will direct a web browser to use port 81 locally, which is being redirected by SSH to port 80 on the remote host at 10.0.2.10.

Example 2:

ssh -L 5900:foobar.dyndns.org:5900 foowho

vncviewer 127.0.0.1 or vncviewer localhost

will direct vncviewer (which uses port 5900 by default) to direct its traffic through the ssh tunnel to the host at foobar.dyndns.org, where, presumably, a VNC server is listening on port 5900.

SSH Filesystem

install package: sshfs, see http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install sshfs

Optionally, add user to group fuse to manage mount-point permissions.

sudo adduser <local user> fuse

(propogate new group membership: restart or open new shell, e.g., Ctrl+Alt+F1)

Create writable mount point, e.g, <mount point> = /media/remote

sudo mkdir <mount point>

sudo chgrp fuse <mount point> sudo chmod 775 <mount point>

Mount command

sshfs [<user>@]<host>:[<path>] <mount point>

Unmount command

fusermount -u <mount point>

Sun Java Application Server (Java EE)

Official documentation

Installing Application Server

Sun Java Application Server is the heart of Java EE. Download either of the following versions:

• Java EE 5 SDK Update 3
• Java Application Platform SDK Update 3 Beta
• Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 (under individual download section)

Alternately you can download GlassFish application server (community maintained):

• With Netbeans Web & Java EE pack
• Download GlassFish directly

Make the download file executable and run as root by:

chmod +x Desktop/filename

sudo ./Desktop/filename

Lets assume $JAVAEE_HOME indicates the installation directory. The default installation directory for Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 is /opt/SUNWappserver/. Now, either add $JAVAEE_HOME/bin in your PATH or make a link of asadmin and asant in your path by

sudo ln -s $JAVAEE_HOME/bin/asadmin /usr/local/bin/asadmin

sudo ln -s $JAVAEE_HOME/bin/asant /usr/local/bin/ant

The command 'asadmin' is the main and most important command for Java Application server. Ant is also useful to automate building process.

Application Server configuration

When Java EE installs, a domain 'domain1' is automatically installed with it in $JAVAEE_HOME/domains/ which is the default directory for all domains. Generally this directory ($JAVAEE_HOME/domains/) is not writable. So, as a unprivileged user you can create your own domain in your home directory.

Application Server domain settings

To create, start, stop and delete a domain in your home directory:

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4848 --domaindir ~ mydomain

asadmin start-domain --domaindir ~ mydomain asadmin stop-domain --domaindir ~ mydomain asadmin delete-domain --domaindir ~ mydomain

Alternately you can make $JAVAEE_HOME/domains/ writable to do domain-related works from default domain directory. E.g.

sudo chmod a+w $JAVAEE_HOME/domains/

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4848 mydomain asadmin start-domain mydomain asadmin stop-domain mydomain asadmin delete-domain mydomain

If you have only one domain in the default domains directory ($JAVAEE_HOME/domains/) then you do not have to give the domain name to start or stop a domain. E.g.

asadmin start-domain

asadmin stop-domain

You can save the login information to ~/.asadminpass file in order to administer an application server domain from command line. If you do not login, you have to provide username and password for each administrative work (analogous to su and sudo commands). To login:

asadmin login --host localhost --port 4848

Deploying and un-deploying a web or ejb module is very easy. Just do the following:

asadmin deploy test1.war

asadmin deploy test2.ear

asadmin undeploy test1.war asadmin undeploy test2.ear

Application Server data Source settings

DataSource configuration can be done easily from web based administration console. Here command line method is given:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/lib/postgresql.jar

asadmin create-jdbc-connection-pool --datasourceclassname org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource --property

serverName=localhost:portNumber=5432:databaseName=database:user=user:password=pass jdbc/postgresql

asadmin create-jdbc-resource --connectionpoolid jdbc/postgresql database

First, we have made this driver accessible from the domain. In the second command, we have created a data source connection pool which has been assigned a JNDI name in the third command. Here all the colon (:) separated values are database related. Change them according to your database settings. Now you can create a Connection by, e.g.:

Context ic = new InitialContext();

DataSource ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup("database"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

To see available data sources and their corresponding JNDI names:

asadmin list-jdbc-connection-pools

asadmin list-jdbc-resources

To delete both connection pool, you have to delete JNDI name first. E.g.

asadmin delete-jdbc-resource database

asadmin delete-jdbc-connection-pool jdbc/postgresql

Tomcat 6

Installing tomcat

Tomcat can be found in universe repository but it has some drawbacks (e.g. lots of dependencies, unavailability of version 6.x, do not use Sun Java). Thus manual installation is recommended.

Download latest stable version of tomcat from here and extract it in /usr/local as root. Add "JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/" to /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.x.x/bin/setclasspath.sh after the first occurrence of "CLASSPATH=". Make sure that sun-java6-jre is installed. Make a soft-link of /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.x.x/bin/catalina.sh as /usr/local/bin/tomcat to access easily. Optionally you can remove .exe and .bat files and edit .sh files to remove cygwin, os400 and darwin related codes.

Although not necessary, but the ant program would be useful here. You can also install its documentation.

OpenEJB Server

OpenEJB is an open source, modular, configurable, and extendable EJB Container System and EJB Server. Visit here to see the installation instructions for OpenEJB under Tomcat 6.

Using tomcat with NetBeans

You have to make the configuration files readable because Netbeans generally do not run with administrative privilege. To use Tomcat with with NetBeans, you have to set a user with manager role. A typcal $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file would look like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users>

<role rolename="admin"/>

<role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin"/> <user username="manager" password="manager" roles="manager"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>

</tomcat-users>

Edit this file after you have started tomcat once. Any data placed in the <tomcat-users> element is erased during the first start of tomcat. You can also use tomcat that comes with NetBeans web & Java EE pack.

Configure Database Connection Pool (DBCP) of Tomcat

A database connection pool creates and manages a pool of connections to a database. Recycling and reusing already existing connections to a dB is more efficient than opening a new connection. It is still possible and valid to open and close connection for each servlet/jsp (visit [[|#Using_JDBC_driver]] for details).

Before proceeding, let's assume that $CATALINA_HOME denotes tomcat installation directory (typically: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.14).

echo $CATALINA_HOME

sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar $CATALINA_HOME/lib/postgresql.jar sudo mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dataSourceTest sudo chown $USER:$USER $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dataSourceTest cd $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dataSourceTest mkdir META-INF WEB-INF WEB-INF/classes

Create WEB-INF/web.xml and set its content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5">

</web-app>

Create META-INF/context.xml and set its content (replace hostname, database instance name, user id and password):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Context>

<Resource

name="jdbc/postgresql" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://host/database" username="user" password="password" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource>

</Context>

Create pgsqlVersion.java and set its content:

import java.io.*;

import java.sql.*; import javax.sql.*; import javax.naming.*; import javax.servlet.*; public class pgsqlVersion extends GenericServlet {

public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) {

try { response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter pw=response.getWriter(); Context initContext = new InitialContext(); Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/postgresql"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); Statement stat=conn.createStatement(); ResultSet rs=stat.executeQuery("SELECT version()"); rs.next(); pw.println(rs.getString("version")); rs.close(); stat.close(); } catch(Exception e) { } }

}

Create index.html and set its content:

<title>PostgreSQL datasource</title><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

Then compile the servlet:

export CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_HOME/lib/postgresql.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/servlet-api.jar:.

javac -d WEB-INF/classes/ pgsqlVersion.java

Finally, visit http: //host:8080/dataSourceTest. Thats all!

Nagios Network Monitoring Server

• Nagios Monitoring Server Setup Guide

It should be noted that this howto instructs you to build nagios from its sources, while it exists on the official repositories.

NFS Server

• Read Linux NFS FAQ
• Run this command for each computer to determine the IP Addresses for each one:

ifconfig

Installing NFS Server

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap

Reconfigure Portmap to not bind to loopback interface:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap 

sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart

Define which folders to share (export):

sudo nano /etc/exports

Add share (export) definitions:

This will export path to all IP addresses between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 with Read/Write access:

/path/to/shared/files 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)

This will export path to all IP addresses between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 with Read Only access:

/path/to/shared/files 192.168.1.0/24(ro,async)

192.168.1.0/24 above would be the clients IP Address

When finished, save changes and restart the NFS Server:

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Export your new configuration:

sudo exportfs -a

Installing NFS Client

sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common

Mounting Manually

cd ~

mkdir temp sudo mount 192.168.1.1:/path/to/shared/files temp

192.168.1.1 above would be the Servers IP Address

You may need to restart NFS services:

sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

Mounting Automatically

Create mountpoint:

sudo mkdir /mnt/files

Edit configuration:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Add something similar to below:

192.168.1.1:/path/to/shared/files /mnt/files nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0

Test new configuration:

sudo mount -a

Reboot to test automatic mounting.

硬件

NVidia 驱动

首先,弄清楚您清楚您是什么内核运行以下命令查看:

user@localhost:~$ uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I have the generic kernel, so I need to install the following:

我安装了generic的内核，所以我要安装以下的软件包：

sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic

After that's done, go to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager and turn on the driver.

上面的操作做完后，打开系统>系统管理>受限驱动管理器，打开驱动程序。

Some users may receive an error screen: "The software source for the packsge nvidia-glx-new is not enabled." This can be overcome by going to System > Administration > Software Sources and ticking all the boxes under the heading "Downloadable from the Internet", click close and then allow Ubuntu to reload the package lists. The NVidia drivers can then be enabled using the method above.

有时可能会遇到弹出错误对话框的情况：“包含nvidia-glx-new软件包的软件源并没有启用。”这个问题可以通过勾选'系统>系统管理>软件源中“从Internet上下载”下的复选框，然后点击“关闭”以使ubuntu重新加载软件源而解决。这样Nvidia的驱动就可以通过上面的方法启用。'

You can optionally prevent showing NVidia logo on startup by:

可以通过下面的方法禁用启动时显示的nvidia商标：

sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo

Wacom tablet

By default, options for the Wacom tablet are commented out. Type the following command to edit the xorg.conf file.

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Uncomment the following by removing the "#" or just replace the tree lines:

InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"

InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"

Save and restart your X-session by typing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.

微软Intellimouse

To get the scroll wheel and side buttons to be recognized, change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf mouse section to look like the following:

为了确保滚轮和侧键能够被正确识别，需要将/etc/X11/xorg.conf中mouse区段修改成下面这样：

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Configured Mouse"

Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"

EndSection

If you want the wheel scroll button to scroll in firefox rather than the side buttons make "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" and "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5".

At this point you can reboot your computer or restart X (Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace) to see if your forward/back buttons work in FireFox. You can test in a terminal with xev.

Logitech Marble Mouse

To get the scrollwheel effect on Logitech trackball (Marble Mouse), change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf mouse section to look like the following:

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "MarbleMouse"

Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 6 7" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "300" # msec Option "EmulateWheelButton" "6" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

Make sure that you have "MarbleMouse" under the server layout section as well.

The big left and right buttons work normally (click, right click) and pressing them at the same time acts as a middle click. Holding the small left button will let you scroll up and down with the trackball. Clicking small left and right buttons will let you go back/forward in firefox.

Thanks to imjustabill and Buffalo Soldier from the Ubuntu Forum. This works well on my computer.

Logitech MX510

To have the extra buttons on your MX510 working with X, you'll have to install and configure the evdev-drivers. Open up a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev 

Now, all you have to do is configure Xorg to work with the new driver. Always remember to back up original files before altering:

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

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Locate and replace the InputDevice section which holds the information for your mouse, for example with the identifier Configured Mouse, and replace it with:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Configured Mouse"
  Driver "evdev"
  Option "CorePointer"
  Option "Name" "Logitech MX510"
  EndSection 

Logout or kill the X session using <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE> and login again. This should get all of your buttons and scrollwheel up and running, and even let you navigate the webbrowser history using the thumb buttons on the side.

Disable CAPS LOCK

I like to remap mine to <Ctrl>. Just run gnome-keyboard-properties with "System > Preferences > Keyboard", click on the "Layout Options" tab and then on the arrow next to "Ctrl key position". Selecting "Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl" does the trick.

Enabling NUM LOCK at boot

The Default behavior is for the NUM LOCK key to be off; if you are on a desktop and have a keypad though, entering digits from it can be much quicker and you may wish to have it enabled for entering login password, etc. Here's how:

• From Synaptic, download and install "numlockx," or, from the command line;

sudo apt-get install numlockx

• To get it working, you now have to edit the appropriate startup file. First, make sure you have a working backup of the file:

sudo cp /etc/gdm/Init/Default /etc/gdm/Init/Default.bak

• Next, modify the gdm/Init file. In terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default

• Scroll down to the end of the file, and above the line that says "exit 0" add the following:

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then

/usr/bin/numlockx on fi

• Next time you reboot, your NUM LOCK should default to "on."

BSNL Broadband (dataone) speedup

BSNL Broadband or Dataone provides high speed (2Mbps) Internet connectivity in India. The DNS servers provided by the BSNL (61.1.96.69 and 61.1.96.71) are very slow. Instead use Either of these:

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 or

4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 or

search Google for free DNS service providers.

Citrix ICA client

The Citrix client no longer suffers from any of the previous Ubuntu version's problems of UTF8 font issues, OpenMotif depends, or flaky/broken browser integration. It just works!

• Download the latest en.linuxx86.tar.gz (currently v10.6) from Citrix.com and save to your desktop
• Right-click tar.gz file, and Extract Here
• Open a Terminal

Programs > Accessories > Terminal

• Change to the directory where we extracted the client

cd Desktop/en.linuxx86

• Run the setup program

./setupwfc

• Select the defaults

Now, web files from Metaframe Presentation Server, Citrix Access Gateway, etc webpages will work fine in Firefox.

Someone may wish to add an entry on how to use the client to connect to a local Citrix farm.

OpenOffice 拼写检查问题

这个问题不是一个漏洞。一部分语言没有内置拼写检查的支持。像其他人一样，举个例子，"英文 (印度)" 就不支持拼写检查，但是"英文 (美国)" 却支持。直接找到：

工具 -> 选项 -> 语言设置 -> 语言

然后选择一个名称前面带有对钩的西方语种，就是这样。

如果您想添加某种语言的拼写检查功能， 安装名为 myspell-<语言> 的软件包，其中 <语言> 替换为您打算安装的语言缩写，例如：

sudo apt-get install myspell-fr 

这样就可以安装法语词典了。

Alternative of SCIM to switch keyboard layout

SCIM might not work properly under Gutsy Gibbon, although works fine under Feisty Fawn. Until the problem is fixed, you can use the alternative method to switch keyboard layout.

• Go to System -> Administration -> Language Support and install the languages you want to use.
• Open System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and add the layout that you want to use from Layouts tab.
• Right click on the free space of upper panel and select "Add to panel...". Add Keyboard Indicator.

Fix Slow boot/faulty splash screen

if your system is booting slowly or your ubuntu splash screen is not being displayed it could be that Usplash has created the splash screen incorrectly

1) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

At the very end of the kernel line after "splash" , add

"vga=***" 

replace *** with the code from the table below that corresponds with the resolution and colour setting you are using

Screen	640x480	800x600	1024x768	1280x1024	1600x1200
Colors
256	769	771	773	775	796
32,768	784	787	790	793	797
65,536	785	788	791	794	798
16.8M	786	789	792	795	799

the line should look something like this

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=20fd9912-6383-4860-9cd8-88a11909d715 ro quiet splash vga=791

Save that file, close it,

2) edit /etc/usplash.conf

sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf

change the resolution to the one you set in the previous step save and close

3) rebuild the bootsplash screen

sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`

This rebuilds the image that Grub uses to start the system.

4) reboot

• Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X-Window and show the GDM screen.
• gnome-power-manager service should be on. You can enable it from System->Preferences->Sessions.
• Wait for 1 minute. The quit window will appear. (the logout problem will vanish for some times).
• For some users, removing .config/autostart/ directory worked.

Tips And Tricks

It is pointless to add the tricks that is already added in Ubuntu:Feisty#Tips_And_Tricks. So, only new tricks are added.

What to do when Ubuntu freezes

There are different reasons for a computer to crash - there can be a programming bug, a memory issue, or other. When your computer seems to be dead, don't panic! And don't reach for that power button! There are five simple things you can try before killing the power:

1. Is the computer frozen? Try going into one of the VTs by pressing <Ctrl><Alt> and F1. This way you may still have control of the computer and manage to kill the application which caused the problem. More on killing applications later.
2. If you can't change into a VT, try to kill the X session. This can be done by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace>. All applications that were opened during the session will automatically be killed, so you should gain control over the computer after you've been sent back to the login screen.
3. OK, so you can't kill X or go into VT. Let's do a reboot, which can safely be done by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Delete>. The machine will beep and start running the shutdown scripts.
4. If for some reason one or more of the shutdown scripts should die, and the computer stops the rebooting process, press the key combination again to force a reboot. This not safe if the scripts haven't gotten around to unmount the local filesystems.
5. Final way out: Your computer doesn't obey and none of above methods seem to give any response. Here's a little trick that might help, not known to many Linux users! The kernel has a small userspace communication line opened, so even if the computer has crashed badly (I haven't tried this during kernel-panic, though, can anyone confirm?) you can make it reboot safely. This method is safe, but should be used only if everything else fails! Hold down <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <PrtScrn/SysRq>. While holding down these, type the following letters - in order - R E I S U B. The computer will unmount any filesystems that are locally mounted, and safely bring down the system. If you have trouble remembering the letter combination; think busier, only backwards.

How to find the UUID of a device

• This is useful if changes are made to the partition table or a new hard drive is added to the computer.
• When the UUID(s) change an error will be caused during boot.
• Pressing <Ctrl>-D will allow the boot to continue but to fix the problem:

-> Open fstab file:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

-> In another terminal run this commmand:

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ 

-> Or you can type this to list all of your devices:

blkid

• Compare the UUID's and any that are different in fstab from the list must be changed. The easiest way is copy and paste.
• Some other things may have to be edited as well like the mount point, type (ext2, ext3, ntfs, etc) , options, dump, pass, etc.

For more help editing fstab look Here:

• To list the UUID of a specific device:

sudo vol_id -u device

• Where device might be /dev/sdxy.

Example: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda1

Enable vim syntax highlighting

The source of vi/vim command is vim-tiny package which does not support syntax highlighting. Install vim:

sudo apt-get install vim

Then open /etc/vim/vimrc and uncomment syntax on

Replace

"syntax on

With

syntax on

HAL

If you have problem failed to initialize HAL, and devices such as card reader,or shutdown problem, power meter doesn´t appear..please find this line in /etc/init.d/rc

sudo vim /etc/init.d/rc find this line : CONCURRENCY=shell

To fix this:

sudo nautilus

Navigate to /etc/ look for the folder rc2.d rename s12hal to s13hal

the problem was HAL loading before DBUS and causing such error. this should fiz the problem, if not

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc

and turn CONCURRENCY=shell to CONCURRENCY=none

Enable Sirius Internet Radio for Firefox

How to change the USplash Screen on startup/shutdown

When you add another Desktop Environment, the USplash screen may change (saying Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu). If you want to change it, do the following:

sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

This will bring up a list of installed USplash screens. Type the number that corresponds to the one you want and press Enter. Then type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash

Then reboot.

Guide Development

Note: This section was taken from the Feisty Guide and edited appropriately.

Place ideas here to increase the look and performance of this guide.

• Add a new section for Gnome Themes from http://art.gnome.org and KDE Themes from http://www.kde-look.org/.
• Have entries under their headings in alphabetical order.
• Try to keep the guide neat and clutter free.
• Possible "Short Version" Table of contents without each "How to".
• Add a [top] link to the end of each article.
• If possible, include a 'find/search' function to easily access queries.
  • This can be done in Firefox with <Ctrl>-F.
• instead of 'apt-get install', there could be the new Gutsy apturl feature for easier installation of software
