My terminal has a default prompt format like this one:

username@boxname /path/to/current/directory $

The code that produces it looks like this: (it has some color definitions too)

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\]'

If the path to the current directory gets too long it becomes unpleasant to work with the terminal because you constantly break lines. In such cases I would prefer a format that produces a shorter string like this one:

username@boxname current_dir_name $

The code that produces it would look like this (again with color):

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] $(basename ${PWD}) \$ \[\033[00m\]'

Does anyone know how I could easily toggle the format of the current terminal window from one style to the other by just typing for example: prompttoggle?

I just installed Xampp 5.6.21 (Apache 2.4.18)

I moved the installation from /opt/lampp to /home/peter/project/xampp and created a symlink from /opt/lampp to the new destination.

I can start the server:

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 5.6.21-0...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.

If I enter http://localhost/xampp in the browser I get an 403 forbidden error. Does anyone know why?

I have pip installed for python3:

$ pip3 -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.4)

If I try to upgrade to Version 8, this is what I get:

$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

Can anyone tell me why it won't upgrade to a newer version?

Can I somehow change the Unity Dash so that the search results appear in a list?

I don't like that i have to use more than ↑ and ↓ in order to select an item and I find it hard to overview the results fast if they are spread over the entire screen.

Sorry for my pickiness, but the Dash is pretty much the only GUI element of the entire OS that I repeatedly operate, so it is quite important to me that it works well.

I do not get the expected file permissions from my Lan Server using NFS4.

Mounting the 'exports' dir as a client works fine. ls outputs the correct folder content. But if the client tries to cd into a dir, he gets a "Permission denied".

If the client uses ls -l to list the content of the mounted folder, he gets GID:UID numbers for the owner of each file. I was expecting NFS4 to give the client username:groupname as a string not as a number. The shown UIDs do not match the UID of the client user. I think this is why I get "permission denied".

I have a user 'Paul'(UID=1004) on the server and a user 'Paul'(UID=1000) on the client. I'd like to handle NFS4 file permissions by the names NOT by the IDs.

This is the current setup:

Mounting as client:

how I mount the exports on the Ubuntu 14.04 client:

sudo mount.nfs4 192.168.178.10:/ /fs_data -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

NFS Server Setup:

all the changes that I made to the NFS4 server on Raspbian, after installing 'nfs-kernel-server', 'rpcbind', 'nfs-common'

/etc/default/rpcbind

OPTIONS=""

/etc/hosts.deny

rpcbind:ALL

/etc/hosts.allow

rpcbind: 192.168.178.20 , 192.168.178.21

/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server

NEED_SVCGSSD=NO

/etc/default/nfs-common

NEED_IDMAPD=YES
NEED_GSSD=no

/etc/exports

/exports         192.168.178.20(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure) 192.168.178.21(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure)
/exports/paul    192.168.178.20(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure) 192.168.178.21(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure)

Any clue, what I'm missing?
