I installed Ubuntu 14.04 first time with a fresh usb in uefi mode. When I needed to reinstall the system I tried again, but this time it wouldn't boot from usb unless it was in legacy mode. After installing Ubuntu now requires legacy mode to boot too.
So, can Ubuntu be convinced to setup uefi once it's installed?
I have a django project which when deployed provides mysql-nss services. This dule use database setup requires automatic deployment by any basic server user. The first part is the creation of an sql database on localhost, followed by the configuration of mysql-nss for the server.
Each client machine that wants to authentication then requires not just pointing at the new server's mysql database, but a very specific list of SQL commands which access the data. This specify leads me to believe that the server and client setups should be packaged for deployment.
Should I use JuJu charms for server/client, should I use Debian packages to set everything just so, including over-riding the mysql-nss-bg package's config files. Or should I force users to learn pupper or similar technology to manage their clients and simply just provide a template config with the required sql commands?
The least complex, most secure solution is preferable.
I have a Shuttle XS fanless computer with a double usb hard drive. It gets quite hot and the usb stack crashes in Ubuntu 11.04. This causes usb disks to eject, I'd like to make the computer remount usb drives after a certain amount of time.
How is this possible?
I use a pxe install for a lab of machines, one problem I have is that the hostname is always set to 'ubuntu'. This is wrong, it should instead ask during the install what hostname should be used.
One hack was to set the hostname file at the end of the preseed, in the script section. But this still doesn't ask the installer.
We have a lot of Wi-Fi connections nearby and I'd like to know which band has the least interference.
I'd like to to know how many connections are on each band and pick the best to configure my router from that data.
The contributors agreement has changed to a broad license harmony agreement. Do I need to resign the new agreement or is it automatic. Does anything prevent me from signing the new agreement and using that as a basis for my contributions and Should I sign the new agreement, is it legally safer?
I was writing a script and needed a list of all currently supported versions of Ubuntu.
If any of you guys know of either a downloadable files which contains all versions with dates or a simple list of all currently supported versions. That would be great. Obviously they would have to be locations where Canonical keeps them up to date so the scripts continue to work into the future.
And it should be something which works on older versions of Ubuntu, say any supported version (lucid+) etc.
I would like to set up my keyboard via my midi-sport 2x2, I've plugged everything in and even installed the midisport-firmware package which was not automatically installed for some reason.
The goal is to have the computer produce a piano sound when keys of the keyboard are hit. If you can make this work without jack, that would be good too. Step by step instructions, the less complexity the better.
I would like to remove the ndiswrapper from my system after mistakenly installing it to enable a wifi card that it turned out had native Ubuntu support and only required firmware.
What is the full process and what things must I be aware of?
I want to make use of all the icons which are installed on my computer to make art, posters and designs, what is the best way of making them all easily browsable from inkscape?
I'd like to put up some posters around where I go to school, where would I find some great looking posters, flyers and tips on advocacy?
I have a v500 scanner, but it doesn't show up in simple scan. I've turned it off and on a few times to see if that was the problem. Here is the usb information:
