So I'm using rdesktop to connect to a remote server of us where I have Visual Studio. The virtual machine is a Windows 2008 server. I use this parameters:
rdesktop -D -g 1920x1200 -k it X.X.X.X
Because I have an Italian keyboard. I have no problem writing, the keys are in place. When I try to type { or } I have problems because with the italian keyboard I have this combination: L-Shift+AltGr+(è|+)
and it's not working
Do you have a solution by any chance?
I need to install 2 version of Eclipse. One for Java and one for PHP. Should I expect that some hidden folder/file is gonna be overridden by both installation? I downloaded to standalone installation package from the eclipse download page.
So I installed LUbuntu 11.04 on my VirtualBox. I couldn't find the 1366x768 resolution so I installed Guest Additions but it wasn't there. So I used this code to set the correct resolution:
gtf 1366 768 60
xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.86 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795 $
xrandr --addmode VBOX0 1368x768_60.00
xrandr --output VBOX0 --mode 1368x768_60.00
The problem is that I can't find a way to save this information for the next reboot. I tried on .xinitrc and nothing happens. Then I tried on .bashrc but it's not working, I need to start a console before this commands are executed.
I would like to use the script sakis3g. And I need to kill modem-manager in order to use it.
I use sudo killall modem-manager but process keeps restarting. Is there a way to kill it?
Is there any way to set an application, in this case Gwibber, in the background of the desktop?
This means basically having it in the background showing tweets and if I don't click it, like, I don't know, twice, then I'm not "interacting" with it and it is not enabled.
If the question is not clear comment it and I will correct what's unclear.
the problem is the following. I have an old computer that mounts a SATA Dvd Burner. The old MoBo (an AsRock P4VT8+) is not able to recognize the freaking burner when booting. So I had to convert my IDE HD to USB HD and mount it on my laptop and install Ubuntu from there. The problem now is that I'm obviously getting kernel panic every now and then so I was wondering if it is possibile to rerun only the system and the hardware configuration.
UPDATE: I'm getting kernel panics once I moved the IDE HD back.
Today I was wondering something about nautilus: what service/module does use nautilus sidebar to list mounted and unmounted partitions/volumes?
I realize it's not strictly about Ubuntu, but Ubuntu does a peculiar use of nautilus so I was curious about that.
So here's the thing. I have two partition in my netbook (plus swap):
/dev/sda4 with Ubuntu 10.4
/dev/sda5 with Centos 5.5
I use Ubuntu obviously. Centos is there because I need to run some test on that distro. The problem is Centos uses Grub and Ubuntu uses Grub2.
This is /boot/grub/menu.lst from Centos:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title CentOS (2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-194.17.4.el5
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5xen)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-194.el5
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5xen.img
The /boot/grub/grub.cfg from Ubuntu:
menuentry "CentOS release 5.5 (Final) (on /dev/sda5)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,5)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 66daaf1a-53b0-4e12-96f3-db01d52e12d1
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen root=/dev/sda5
}
menuentry "CentOS release 5.5 (Final) (on /dev/sda5)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,5)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 66daaf1a-53b0-4e12-96f3-db01d52e12d1
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5xen root=/dev/sda5
}
This was generated running update-grub2 and grub-install under Ubuntu.
It's not working. It gives me something like bad magic number.
How can I convert the grub1 entry in a grub2 shape?
Question inspired from here
Scenario
I live in a house near my university. That said, students wifi can reach my home so I usually use that even from home. The problem is, being a wifi managed by university sysadmins, it's not possible to connect to some dns (e.g. file uploading domains like rapidshare or megaupload). The good news is I also have an USB internet key that I can use, but, basically that's a scam like all internet mobile plans in Italy because after 20GB they'll cut off my bandwith.
Finally...the question
To optimize my bandwith usage I want to say to my Ubuntu: if I connect to *.domain.com use this interface, otherwise use the other one. For the sake of this question let's call wifi wlan0 and usb internet key ppp0.
P.S.: it's a really specific question. Do not suggest things like "use Tor, dude". I do not want to abuse the university wifi. I actually don't know if that is even possibile with Tor...but still... :)
I have two different network interfaces, connected to 2 networks. One is an eth0 and the other one a wlan0. How can I tell a software to use only a specific interface?
Basically I want Firefox to use eth0 because it is the university lan network and I have to go to intranet sites, the other one is a wifi network open to the internet and I want to bind it to Chrome.
I'm working and I need to use intranet. So eth0 is my choice but eth0 is an intranet without internet access (obviously). Since I want internet access I'm connected to wlan0 (university wifi for students).
The problem is if I have both connected sometimes the browser looks for www.stackoverflow.com using eth0. So I wanted to assign a browser to use only a specific interface.
