4043 | 1 | 4054 | 2010-09-11T21:57:01.890 | 1 | 1666 | <p>When trying to install ruby 1.9.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit), I get the following error after performing the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install Dependencies</li>
<li>./configure to create make file</li>
<li>Make</li>
<li>Make Install</li>
<li>Make Clean</li>
<li>ruby -ropenssl -rzlib -rreadline -e "puts :Hello" (This should output 'hello' if all is well).,</li>
</ol>
<p>Instead of outputting hello, I get this:</p>
<p><em>require: no such file to load -- readline`</em></p>
<p>After searching online, I find this solution:
Blockquote</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you’ve compiled Ruby from source, you might get this error when executing script/console:</p>
<p>/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)
One way of fixing this is to compile readline, which is distributed along with the Ruby source:</p>
<p>cd /opt/src/ruby-1.8.5-p2/ext/readline</p>
<p>ruby extconf.rb</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This totally worked for me. My question is, why didn't ruby compile this to begin with? Did I forget some sort of config option?</p>

Now I can use <code>sudo apt-get install application-name</code> easily - but the problem is that the normal user (not the superuser) cannot see the proxy.</p>
<p>For example, these commands have different outputs:</p>
<p><code>wget http://whatismyip.com</code></p>
<p>and</p>
<p><code>sudo wget http://whatismyip.com</code></p>
<p>It shows that the first command does not use the proxy while the second clearly says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>the strange thing is that when I check <a href="http://whatismyip.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://whatismyip.com</a> with Firefox, it shows the proxy IP not my real IP, which means that Firefox sees the proxy.</p>

4080 | 1 | null | 2010-09-12T21:55:23.097 | 3 | 1831 | <p>I'm trying to set up my server (running Ubuntu server 8.04) on my university network so that I can access it from anywhere on campus. Last year I had it plugged into my router and set my router's domain like <code>network.myschool.edu</code> and hostname to <code>dlh</code>. This allowed me to access the router using <code>dlh.network.myschool.edu</code>, and I just used port-forwarding to access the server.</p>
<p>Now I'm just plugging the server in sans router and I'm trying to emulate the same setup. I have Avahi installed and I've tried setting my <code>/etc/hostname</code> to both <code>dlh</code> and <code>dlh.network.myschool.edu</code>. It doesn't seem to be working though when I try to <code>ping</code> from another computer.</p>
<p>Honestly though, I don't understand the whole domain/hostname thing very well and I'm not sure how this is done properly.</p>

4081 | 1 | 4162 | 2010-09-12T22:02:09.717 | 4 | 2537 | <p>Here's the deal. I set up a computer with Ubuntu 10.04 for my grandmother. Everything worked fine. I connected it to the internet at her house today. After rebooting the computer I found that the computer would kick you back to the logon screen if you attempted to logon to her account. It worked fine logging on to my admin account, and also in Gnome's safe mode. I thought it had resolved itself, but turns out it hadn't, and now I don't have physical access to the computer, plus the remote connection I'd hoped to use only works intermittently.</p>
<p>I need some suggestions for troubleshooting for when I'm at her house at some point next week. Ask for any more details, but I'm afraid I won't be able to provide many more until I've checked it out in person, since she is basically unable to use a computer beyond web browsing.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I also installed ntfs config tool but it doesn't detect the windows partition</p>
<p>but sudo fdisk -l show me the windows partition on /dev/sda1 with ntfs</p>
<hr>
<p>If I can't mount the windows partition now, can you tell me how do I dual boot? When I switch on my laptop, it directly boots into Ubuntu without any grub menu. How do I fix this issue to show a grub menu and dual boot into both windows & ubuntu?</p>

4096 | 1 | 4101 | 2010-09-13T11:08:06.933 | 35 | 44789 | <p>I know Ubuntu comes with a "Remote Desktop" option that appears to be a straightforward VNC server, and I'm trying to understand the alternatives. Here are the possibilities I've heard about so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>VNC </li>
<li>VNC + SSH Tunnelling</li>
<li>NX Server, free edition</li>
<li>FreeNX</li>
<li>NeatX</li>
<li>X2Go</li>
<li>X11 Forwarding over SSH</li>
<li>xrdp </li>
</ul>
<p>I'm coming at this from a Windows user's perspective: To the best of my experience, RDP (aka Terminal Services) is a reasonably secure (barring mitm/server spoofing), efficient desktop sharing protocol with well-supported clients, that can be exposed to the internet when necessary without major fears of intrusion. To the best of my knowledge straight VNC is none of those things, which is where I get confused - why wouldn't a better desktop sharing technology be developed or used in the open-source world? I know VNC can be wrapped with SSH, but that seems beyond the reach of a casual user. X11 forwarding over SSH may be more or less efficient, I have no idea, but is definitely even more complicated, and doesn't (as far as I know) give you access to already-running stuff (no desktop sharing as such, just remote application running).</p>
<p>So, I'd like any feedback/preferences amongst these or any other "Free" desktop sharing options, using these criteria and/or any others:</p>
<ol>
<li>Security (esp. for access across internet)</li>
<li>Efficiency (bandwidth usage, responsiveness, etc)</li>
<li>Free-ness, as in Speech (not sure where RDP or FreeNX lie for this)</li>
<li>Free-ness, as in Beer (are there any commercial solutions with usable dependable free offerings?)</li>
<li>Ease of use (server and client side)</li>
<li>Cross-OS Client availability</li>
<li>Cross-OS Server availability</li>
<li>Support for independent sessions and shared (and/or "Console") sessions</li>
<li>Ongoing support/maintenance/development</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>

4120 | 1 | 4123 | 2010-09-13T18:01:12.553 | 35 | 14899 | <p>Whenever I open a PDF file in Ubuntu, the document viewer shows that file zoomed so that the page <em>width</em> fits to the screen <em>width</em> (and the lower part of the document is not visible). Due to the large monitor I would really prefer to have it show the full document with a smaller zoom instead (I think that might be called "fit to page size" in English).</p>
<p>I found no preference in the document viewer to change its startup behaviour. Is there any preference for that which I missed? Are there alternative PDF viewers which can be configured to fulfill my needs or which have this setting as default?</p>

"body": "<h2>Assumptions:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This "server" is a desktop install (ie the <code>ubuntu-desktop</code> meta package is installed)</li>\n<li>Server sits behind a router which connects to the internet and shares it out through NAT</li>\n<li>Your user is set to auto-login</li>\n<li>You're trying to connect from outside your home network. I had rather assumed you were trying to do this from work but now realise that may not be the case.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Step one: Make your internet connection locatable.</h2>\n<p>Most ISPs give their users dynamic IPs. This is as much (try to) stop people hosting things as it is protecting them from people who find out their IP and want to attack their computer directly. Either way, it makes things hard if you want to connect to your home network.</p>\n<p>We fix this with one of many services that fall under the category "dynamic DNS". In short your computer (or router) tells a third party service what your current internet IP is and they store it as a DNS entry. You end up with a domain name that you can connect to your home network through.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.dyndns.com/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">DynDNS</a> is probably the biggest but there are hundreds of companies providing very similar sets of services for free. The good ones have Linux clients available. But check your router as lots come with clients built in and that could save you some time.</p>\n<p>I won't mention this again but it's an essential thing to do.</p>\n<h2>Step two: SSH</h2>\n<p>Rather than connecting directly to a VNC (or other) server, I strongly suggest you install a SSH server and connect to your desktop over SSH and tunnel the VNC port back to your computer. Sounds like a pain in the bottom and.. Well.. It is. But it provides you strong authentication and should keep bad people out. VNC has in the past had quite a few security issues so it's best (IMO) not to give people direct access to it.</p>\n<p>Installing the server is pretty simple: <code>sudo apt-get install openssh-server</code></p>\n<p>However, I would move it to a non-standard port (mine are all in the 4xxxx range). This helps stop people detecting it by port scanning and therefore helps stop people try and brute force their way in. You can read more about ports here:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html</a></p>\n<p>Additionally, you can login over SSH via a key. This is much stronger than password authentication but it requires you have your keyfile with you all the time. Pretty trivial if you're used to taking a USB key around with you or you're happy leaving your key on the Windows computer.</p>\n<p>We'll stick with password auth for now.</p>\n<p>One more thing, we need to make it so people outside the network can access the SSH server. This part is called port-forwarding. Simple but it varies from router to router. You should be able to find a guide here if you need one: <a href=\"http://portforward.com/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://portforward.com/</a></p>\n<h2>Step three: VNC</h2>\n<p>I hate VNC but it serves a purpose. It's slow, falls over all the time but it's by far the most simple way to connect to your computer.</p>\n<p>Rather than installing a SSH server that runs all the time, I use <code>x11vnc</code>.</p>\n<h2>Step four: Putty</h2>\n<p>You need something to connect to SSH from Windows. <a href=\"http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Putty</a> is that application. Getting and installing the app is simple enough (there are even portable versions if you just want to carry it around on a USB stick).</p>\n<p>We need to tell Putty to make the remote VNC server available over SSH. This is known as tunnelling. Fortunately it's dead simple. It's graphical so look here for a screenshot guide: <a href=\"http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html</a> (Just use port 5900 instead of whatever port they're using!)</p>\n<p>At this point you should be able to connect to your server over SSH. Test it out. When you're logged in, run <code>x11vnc</code>, it'll detect the display and eventually say something along the lines of "awaiting connections".</p>\n<p>At this point you can run your VNC client (sorry, having not used Windows properly for years, I've no idea what the best client is). When it asks, connect to <code>localhost</code> (yes, <code>localhost</code>), port <code>5900</code> (should be default).</p>\n<p>Bish bash bosh. You should have full control of your home desktop.</p>\n<p>You can streamline this with various run-on-connect commands. I'm no Putty expert so I'll leave this to you.</p>\n",

<p>What is the proper way to set up a shared space for the windows clients so that members of group Parents, and only Parents, both have read and write access to it's contents?</p>
<p>I thought I had this done, but when Dad creates or writes a file in \server\share-parents\ Mom's write access to same is revoked, vice versa. This creates all sorts of havoc when said file is the family expense spreadsheet and the home renos are <em>this close</em> to blowing the year's budget and credit card payment is due... Need I add that last years kludge of recursively chown'ing to :parents and chmod'ing g+w no longer keeps the bacon out of the fire?</p>
<p>The smb.conf shared section:</p>
<pre><code>[global]
# other stuff edited out
security = user
[share-parents]
comment = parents shared files
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
valid users = mom, dad
writable = yes
path=/home/shared
follow symlinks = yes

<p>The problem arises in the installation when it comes to partitioning the drives. The Ubuntu installer only offers me to "Configure iSCSI volumes". There are no options offered.</p>
<p>It then offers to "Log into iSCSI targets" and asks for an IP and port #. I've tried entering the loopback IP, but it says that no iSCSI targets exist there.</p>

<li>the addition of the firefox-daily ppa and also version 4 from the same PPA. I since removed this and now have version <code>3.6.9+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1</code></li>
<li>removal of firefox profile folder and general playing with different profiles</li>

<p>But now I can't get it to do anything, not even startup. All the following produce nothing:</p>
<pre><code>$ firefox
$ firefox -safe-mode
$ firefox -private
$ firefox -ProfileManager

<pre><code>PCs -> Wired Network ---|
|--- Server --- Internet
PCs -> Wireless Network ---|
</code></pre>
<p>The server runs the fetchmail, postfix and dovecot daemons under Ubuntu to retrive e-mail from the ISP and store it on the server. E-mail is accessed from any of the PCs on the wired or wireless networks via an IMAP interface hosted on the server.</p>
<p>This all works great.</p>
<p>I'm about to let my young children use e-mail for themselves. But before I let them loose on the world, I wanted the server to implement a whitelist for e-mails that are retrieved from the ISP and sent to their mailbox. Ideally, the incoming senders full address should be listed in the whitelist for it to be forwarded to the mailbox. Anything that isn't in the whiltelist should be forwarded to a different mailbox which I can then look through and update the whitelist as appropriate.</p>
<p>How do I set up the various daemons to do this?</p>

<p>3) home = 60G</p>

<p>Then the partitioner shows the second drive:</p>
<p>SDB which is 80G and I'm not sure which mount point I should set for the second drive, so I just labeled it as an unused partition for now. Should it be set to /home in order to use the space? Also, I'll replace this one with a bigger drive eventually. With that in mind, what is the best way to deal with the second drive?</p>

<p>I built and installed ImageMagick 6.6.4 from source following the instructions <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix" rel="nofollow">here</a> and BEFORE I did that I removed the ImageMagick tools that were pre-installed in Ubuntu, to avoid any conflicts. But still I seem to have this version 6.5.7 around.</p>
<p>I guess my question is how do I remove/disable <code>ImageMagick 6.5.7-8</code>? </p>

4210 | 1 | 7331 | 2010-09-15T18:40:36.640 | 2 | 2537 | <p>I plug in my Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive and then plug the USB into my Ubuntu 10.04 machine and, as expected, it mounts in <code>/media</code>. OK, this is great. I can access the files, etc. Then, I edit my <code>smb.conf</code> file for this drive, so that I can share it and I add a line for sharing drives I don't own.</p>
<p>I share the drive and unmount it and then remount with</p>
<pre><code>sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/FreeAgent
</code></pre>
<p>and it mounts fine. I can access the drive from a Windows XP machine on my network. Then, a short while later, it auto-mounts again, as <code>/media/Main-BackUp</code> and then the mount point <code>/media/FreeAgent</code> no longer has the drive mounted and the files are not present. The files are in the newly mounted directory. I should note that the name of the drive is Main-BackUp. I have edited my <code>smb.conf</code> file several ways to get this to work, including changing the name so it matches and the mount point directory where it should live. It is currently like so:</p>
<pre><code>[Main-BackUp]
comment = Backup drive
path = /media/Main-BackUp
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
</code></pre>
<p>But I have changed the line <code>path = /media/Main-BackUp</code> to <code>path = /media/FreeAgent</code> with no success.</p>
<p>Then, some time later, it does this again, and another mount point is created <code>/media/Main-BackUp_</code> and then the previous mount doesn't have any files but this new one does. Each time, a window pops up with the new mount and the files on my external drive. If I leave this machine alone for an hour or so, it will repeat this process 5 or 6 times.</p>
<p>I successfully mounted a Drobo on my work network using a similar technique and it works great. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong> - So I commented out the lines in the <code>smb.conf</code> and experimented with the drive auto-mounting on it's own. Still happens. I searched for a way to run off auto-mounting, but in 10.04 I can't find it. I tried Preferences > File Management > Media and unchecked anything that seemed likely to cause this to no avail. Towards the end of the auto-mounting experiment after commenting out the lines in <code>smb.conf</code> an error was generated.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE 2</strong> - The drive mounts OK, but then several minutes later, the network share becomes blank and the files aren't there. I go to the server computer and look at the drive, and this most recent time, the drive shifted from sdb1 to sdc1. I remounted and it seemed to work again but then after a few minutes, the same behavior comes back... Empty share. This is odd behavior and I'm not sure I'm getting the root cause.</p>

"body": "<p>First of all there's two issues here. I usually prefer to leave my external hard drives plugged into my computer, then have them mount automatically when I start everything up. However, there's a function called udev that runs on boot that defines your attached hardware to the hardware abstraction layer. And it more or less assigns a device identifier based on the order it sees your external hard drives which can change from boot to boot. Usually the first one it sees it assigns to <code>/dev/sdb1</code>, the second to <code>/dev/sdc1</code>, the third to <code>/dev/sdd1</code>, etc. If you only had one external hard drive it would always pick up the <code>/dev/sdb1</code> identifier, and you'd make an <code>/etc/fstab</code> entry to automount it and be done with it.</p>\n\n<p>The key to making sure udev always assigns the same device identifier to the same device is to define a udev rule to do that based on the serial number of the device. And the way to do that is as root, create a new rule file in <code>/etc/udev/rules.d</code>. Within that directory create a file called <code>10-local.rules</code>, (the 10 ensures that it gets executed early on).

Each line of the rule basically says, if the device is a block, and a usb, and has a serial number of XXXX, then asign it this name.</p>\n\n<p>Then I know every time I boot, my 4 attached hard drives will always be assigned the same device identifier, <code>/dev/usb2</code>, <code>/dev/usb3</code>, <code>/dev/usb4</code>, <code>/dev/usb5</code>.</p>\n\n<p>Once that's done, it's easy to edit the <code>/etc/fstab</code> file and add the mount commands for the drives, here's relevant lines from mine:</p>\n\n<pre><code>/dev/usb2 /media/usb2 ntfs rw,auto 0 0\n/dev/usb3 /media/usb3 ntfs rw,auto 0 0\n/dev/usb4 /media/usb4 ntfs rw,auto 0 0\n/dev/usb5 /media/usb5 ntfs rw,auto 0 0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>And when my system boots, everything is in the right place, mounted and ready to use...</p>\n\n<pre><code>woodwose@woodwose-server:~$ df -h\n\nFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on\n\n/dev/sda1 72G 28G 40G 41% /\nnone 493M 436K 493M 1% /dev\nnone 497M 1.1M 496M 1% /dev/shm\nnone 497M 340K 497M 1% /var/run\nnone 497M 0 497M 0% /var/lock\nnone 497M 0 497M 0% /lib/init/rw\n/dev/usb4 1.4T 1023G 375G 74% /media/usb4\n/dev/usb2 1.4T 1.1T 300G 79% /media/usb2\n/dev/usb5 1.4T 1.3T 73G 95% /media/usb5\n/dev/usb3 1.4T 1.3T 93G 94% /media/usb3\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The order in which these usb devices are listed changes, because there's no guarantee that OS is going to find them in the same order every time, but since you control what device identifier is assigned to each device based on something that doesn't change, ie the serial number of the device, you can always automount the same device to the same mount point on startup.</p>\n\n<p>And since your smb shares are based on the mount point, you also manage to share out the same files on the same share names consistently as well.</p>\n\n<p>I hope that helps you.</p>\n",

<li>Banshee 1.6 (I followed the instructions to set up the PPA and get the latest version) </li>
<li>IPod 5th gen video (MA147LL) with firmware 1.3 </li>

<p>Here is the issue:</p>

<li>I restore the Ipod on a windows machine </li>
<li>I plug in the Ipod on the Ubuntu machine </li>
<li>I set the sync preferences to be "Sync to " and "Sync when connected and when libraries change" </li>
<li>Banshee says it is syncing with the Ipod </li>
<li>When it says it's done, I disconnect the Ipod and there are no songs or playlist on the Ipod </li>
<li>When I plug the Ipod back into the Ubuntu box, Banshee tells me the database on the ipod is too new or needs to be repaired. </li>

<p>Upon first installing the nvidia drivers are not active and I get the correct screen resolution. 1680x1050</p>
<p>Then I install the nvidia drivers and the best resolution I can get is 1280x1024.</p>
<p>In searching around there is <strong><em>a lot</strong></em> of information related to this and similar issues. I have tried tips with xrandr, manually installing the drivers, etc, etc. Finding the <em>right</em> information is proving troublesome however.</p>
<p>I know that the graphics card can out put the correct resolution because it does until the nvidia drivers are activated. So does anyone here know the solution? (Why does this have to be so hard?)</p>
<p>This is not a new whiz bang system, but one I put together with spare parts.</p>

<p><strong><em>So, any suggestions on this?</em></strong> At this point I'm assuming that the issue has to do with a good xorg.conf file and possibly EDID. A clear set of docs on this issue is hard to find. In searching the forums and other web sites I've found LOTS of others with similar issues, but it's all so scattered that it's hard to tell which ones are not dead ends. Given that many posts are dated as far back as 2006 and earlier, and that nvidia cards are so ubiquitous, it's hard to understand why there isn't an easier solution. </p>

I tried to use valgrind, but Empathy does not connect to MSN when telepathy-butterfly is run this way.
So, I figured out the only option left is to debug the memory leak by printing object sizes from within the code.</p>
<p>I was able to get all objects (using the <code>gc</code> module) and print their sizes and types. The leak seems to come from a dictionary (or dictionaries), which have no <code>__name__</code> property, so I can't tell where their coming from.
I tried to check all objects in <code>globals()</code>, but it looks like they are not related to the dictionaries that leak.</p>
<p>Since this is my first time hunting memory leaks in unfamiliar python code, I thought it is best to ask for advice. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The first time happened with a NTFS partition on an external usb disk: "disk utility" told me that it had bad sectors in it and thus it was unreadable but, after a reformat of the disk, it was recognized succesfully.</p>
<p>The last time it happened with a ext4 partition: my home folder was almost completely wiped out; fortunately enough I use to store backups of my files, so I restored them but I can't figure out why I'm encountering those kind of situations.</p>
<p>So I assume that the problem is not really a matter of bad sectors (two different hard disks, that after the restore are working fine).</p>

4311 | 1 | 4325 | 2010-09-18T03:44:54.870 | 1 | 1918 | <p>I just bought a Lexmark Interpret S408 all-in-one printer. The box said that it supported Ubuntu 8.04, but I told myself it <em>should</em> work with Lucid... well no. The only driver I have found is for i386 while I have a amd64 image installed; the architecture is incompatible.</p>
<p>So, the quesiton is : <del>Is it possible to install that driver anyway, somehow? Or</del> do I need to take that printer back to the store and buy another one?</p>
<p><del>If the latter is the only alternative,</del> I need a printer that </p>
<ul>
<li>has wireless connection capability</li>
<li>can do color printing</li>
<li>is of good price (less than $200 CAD)</li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you for your answers, help, and tips.</p>
<p>** <strong>UPDATE</strong> **</p>
<p>The driver was given in the form of deb package (for Debian distributions) and I managed to extract the actual deb package driver out of the install program. I ran</p>
<pre><code>sudo dpkg -i --force-all lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.5-1.i386.deb
</code></pre>
<p>and the driver installed, and I was able to print something out. But that pretty much ends there; I cannot access anymore of the printer settings, etc. (i.g. scanner, fax, wifi settings, etc.) I should suffice for now as I'm satisfied with the printer's features (and size, and prince), but if I could have a full-linux-supported printer like that one, I would return this one in exchange for the other.</p>

The message is <code>Error: out of disk</code> or similar on the older versions.</p>
<p>This is <strong>NOT</strong> the standard failure that is solved by deleting a couple of lines from the Grub config file, as discussed on the Ubuntu Forums, and it is not possible to reboot into the installation from the live cd. However the machine does boot the live cd.</p>
<p>My suspicions are that there is an incompatibility between the specific BIOS on my machine and GRUB. The machine is an old AMD based system with a small amount of memory.</p>
<p>The machine was running Ubuntu 8 without issues before this process started.</p>
<p>I have since discovered that partitioning the disk with a small boot area of say 200MB allows Ubuntu to boot. However, Grub 2 is still displaying the error during the boot process.</p>

4364 | 1 | 4622 | 2010-09-19T10:50:38.660 | 3 | 4758 | <p>I have a couple of FTDI based USB to Rs232 serial dongles. Sometimes when I plug them into my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop, they show up as <code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code> and <code>/dev/ttyUSB1</code>, which is what I want to have happen. But sometimes they don't. When they don't, sometimes rebooting fixes the problem and sometimes it doesn't. They always show up in <code>lsusb</code> hanging off of Bus 5:</p>
<pre><code>Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
</code></pre>
<p>I can see them if I do <code>ls /dev/bus/usb/005</code> as <code>002</code> and <code>003</code>. But if I pass <code>/dev/bus/usb/005/002</code> to <code>pyserial</code>, which is what I'm using to access <code>/dev/ttyUSBx</code>, I get <code>SerialException("Could not open port: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/bus/usb/005/002'",)</code>.</p>

One of them is a Windows 2008 server and it allows me to assign multiple IP's to one card if I use static IP's. Is there a way to do this if it is using DHCP? </p>
<p>Looking at <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf" rel="nofollow">http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf</a> I don't think it is, at least the attempt I had didn't work. As I understand it the following would just choose the best IP and assign it that one, rather than all of them:</p>
<pre><code>host mymachine {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed address 192.168.10.96, 192.168.10.97;
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>everything I have read would suggest this is not possible. Hope someone can prove me wrong, or show an alternative way of dealing with this so that all IP's are dealt with at a central location and machines can have more than one IP (dev and web servers).</p>

4391 | 1 | null | 2010-09-19T21:22:41.410 | 7 | 170 | <p>I'm sharing my PC with my wife and my sister on regular basis. There are several issues when we switch from one user to another, such as the NetworkManager icon being present only on the first account (which is ridiculous).</p>
<p>A similar problem occurs when there is a DVD in the drive. When a second user logs in, the DVD cannot be seen (unmounted, ejected) <em>until</em> you physically eject the disk (i.e. press the button on the drive itself) and reinsert it.</p>
<p>My amateurish guess tells me that automount mounts the disk with the current user's permissions[citation needed] so the other can't unmount it. This is a bit absurd since every user has the "Mount user-space filesystems (FUSE)" and "Use CD-ROM drives" permissions (I am the only sudoer, though).</p>
<p>Is there any way this could be "fixed"? It's only a nuisance, but I can already see my <em>co-users</em> asking questions and being annoyed.. :)</p>

<pre><code> INSERT INTO
database.table(primary_key,
foreign_key, url_one,
url_two, int_one,
int_two, int_three) VALUES
(266,7,https://some.url.com/image_one.png,https://some.url.com/image_two.png,266,1440,900);
</code></pre>
<p>I've now realised that the URL strings will need quotation marks around them before I can execute them in MySQL. What command can I use to place quotation marks around the URL string?</p>
<p>I tried to use 'sed' to do it but I couldn't get the command right as I don't completely know the syntax of what I want to achieve:</p>
<pre><code>sed -e "s/(https://).*(\.png)/\"(https://)$1(.png)\"/g" some_sql_file.sql
</code></pre>
<p>Running this results in:</p>
<pre><code>sed: -e expression #1, char 12:
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>unknown option to `s'</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Any help would be much appreciated as I want to avoid regenerating the SQL file just to put in the quotation marks if at all possible.</p>
