We are running more than 600 Ubuntu systems in our company. It is a data centre so we have certain policies. We have disabled the usage of storage devices in all the Ubuntu systems. However we would like to configure email alerts. If someone inserts storage devices, we should get an email Alert with subject as below,

Email Alert:

STORAGE DEVICE FOUND on IP: 172.29.35.18

Note:

  • Where as for Windows system, we have certain policies applied in our DC. So there is no problem with Windows system.
  • We need to receive alerts for Ubuntu system also. Any way to accomplish the above task would be great.

Update:

  • Few things i would like to clarify, If the user disconnects the network cable and if the user uses usb for data transfer? I know that i wont get any intimations but later if they connect network is it possible to get those pending notifications??
  • Some uses usb for charging their mobile phones, is it possible get email notifications for that also??

I would like to customize Ubuntu live CD by installing some additional packages. I have followed the Ubuntu help wiki guide but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone provide clear instructions?

I'm not keen to use Remastersys; I'd prefer a manual way.

Customization

Packages that I want to install:

  • Thunderbird
  • Samba
  • SSH

Changes that I need:

  • Remove Games menu from the Application menu
  • Firefox shortcut on Desktop
  • Radiance as the default Theme
  • Different default Ubuntu Wallpaper

Configuration file changes

  • I want the panel to be placed at the bottom
  • I want to paste my Samba configuration file instead of default Samba configuration
  • I have few Firefox shortcuts and folders I would like to show that in Desktop
  • Also it will be nice if you say me how to change the icon sets

Recent Updates

  • I have customized Ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox shortcuts and few folders on desktops. Everything went smooth. But the installer gets crashes after choosing the timezone. How do i fix this issue?
  • Also setting wallpaper affects the login screen. The wallpaper which I set is displayed on the login screen also. I just want the default one for the login screen.

I am unable to map a Windows network drive in Ubuntu. I executed the following command in the terminal:

karthick@karthick:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=raghu //172.29.32.184 /media/Data/
Password: 
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

But it returned an error. I hope someone can sort this out.

I used to access a remote system via VNC viewer, but when I copy some text from the remote system and paste it in my text editor(local system), nothing happens. Do I need to install any additional packages to achieve this task?

Updates:
There is no such option found in the Real VNC properties.

Screenshot

I just get the following output: 

karthick@karthick:~$ vncconfig         
No VNC extension on display :0.0

Updated: 

karthick@karthick:~$ vncserver

I want to access an Ubuntu machine remotely via VNC. But I can access the Ubuntu machine only if the user is logged in. I want to access the ubuntu machine via VNC from the login screen itself. We can access all windows machines from the login screen. However we were not able to access the Ubuntu machine from the login screen. There is some way but I am not aware of the details. Can someone give a solution to this problem?

I have more than 60 to 80 systems running Ubuntu. Some of them are with version 8.04 and some of them are with latest version 10.10. Now we are in the process of upgrading all older Ubuntu version to a newer version. It is difficult to switch on every Ubuntu system and taking notes of older Ubuntu version and then upgrade. I have IP addresses of all these machines in a text a file. So I am looking for a simple bash script which will automate the task. I am expecting the output would look like this:

172.29.34.40 ubuntu 10.04
172.29.34.41 ubuntu 8.04
172.29.34.42 ubuntu 8.10

and so on.. Can anyone help me?

I have installed likewise-open, but when I add an Ubuntu machine (10.10) to a domain, I am getting the following error:

Leaving AD Domain:   XXX.XX.XXX`                              
Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047]                       
1387 (0x56B) ERROR_NO_SUCH_MEMBER - Unknown error

Can someone sort this out?

Likewise-open shows me as being connected to domain. But how do I verify this?

Likewise settings

  • AD is managed by a Windows 2003 server.

I tried red's answer but it didn't work.

root@karthick:~# domainjoin-cli join XXX.XX.COM xxxxxxx
Joining to AD Domain:   XXX.XX.COM
With Computer DNS Name: karthick.xxx.xx.com

[email protected]'s password:

  • Likewise-open Gui is already installed, but I am not able to leave the domain and re-join.
  • See the following screen shot:

LIKEWISE-OPEN-GUI

I searched google and i came up with this. Is that a problem? Or can anyone help me to debug the cause?
