When I follow the official instructions for Ubuntu 14.04, I end up with docker 0.9.1. When I do it for Ubuntu 12.04 it correctly installs the latest version: 0.11.
How can I install 0.11 on Ubuntu 14.04?
I'm having trouble creating a cronjob for automatic security updates on my ubuntu server 12.04.
I separated the security sources into a different file, and then did this from within a cronjob:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
apt-get -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist="security-sources.list" -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="-" update -y
apt-get -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist="security-sources.list" -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="-" upgrade -y
But I'm getting all kind of weird messages in the log:
Example 1:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype
dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin:
Example 2:

After receiving these logs in my email inbox, I logged in via ssh and saw this:
44 packages can be updated.
24 updates are security updates.
So I guess it didn't work.
Any thoughts?
I wanted to have Ubuntu with full disk encryption on one big partition, and Windows on a small one. In 12.04, only the Server Edition installer has full disk encryption, so I used that and then installed ubuntu-desktop. When it asked for the size, I reduced it from ~999GB to ~750gb. Now after the install, on both gparted and disk utility I see /dev/sda2 taking ~931GB, and nothing unallocated, so I can't create a partition for windows.
I got the size right, because when I right-click inside a folder, then hit 'properties', I see Free space: ~690GB (I don't know why it's not ~750GB, but at least it's not >900). The command df -h shows the same.
So what can I do? Normally I would just resize a partition with gparted to create unallocated space, then create the partition. But here I have two problems: gparted does not seem to be showing the correct values, and also it says it does not support LUKS so I'm afraid it will mess things up.
Any thoughts?
I have lots of .7z files, all with the same password. How can I extract them all easily? The default GUI in Ubuntu 12.04 is asking for the password for each file, which is too slow and annoying.
What happened to the search box that appears on a folder when you press ctrl+f? I used to be able to type and then navigate with the arrows (only between files that matched) and enter would open the file (not perform the search like in windows, which is what it does now).
I'm having a problem with my web server: when it's been up for a long time, and then it goes down for some reason, it takes forever to boot.
My workaround to this was to create a cron to reboot the server from time to time (I've been insulted for this, be kind). The reboot was so fast that the server was able to respond to the requests before they timed out, so I was cool with it.
But now I've been told that what might be causing this is fsck being forced after X days, and also after Y mounts, so my fix won't help much.
So the question is what should I do with fsck? Force it to run more frequently, or disable it? Can it run at any time, or it must be during boot? An example of how to do it with tune2fs is also welcome.
I configured this:
Automatically check for updates: Never
But the update manager keeps poping up against my wishes, I have no control. I feel like I'm using Windows again.
I want to be able to install updates from time to time, manually.
What can I do?
I have one hdd with Ubuntu 12.04, and now I added another one for windows (because I wanna play Day Z =p).
The problem is that the windows installer says it can't partition the hdd (unknown reason).
So I want to use Ubuntu's disk utility to format/partition the hdd, but I don't know exactly what to do (for example, which filesystem does windows 7 need?). Can you help me on this?
Suppose someone copies a file to a DVD or pendrive.
Is there a log where I can see that?
