The NTP network of time servers is set up as a hierarchical manner, such that any user can enter the system as a server at some level (see the Wikipedia page for more details).</p>\n<p>The NTP hierarchy is separated into different levels, called clock strata. The most accurate level, Stratum 0, is reserved for atomic clocks, etc. The next level, Stratum 1, is generally used by networked machines locally connected to the Stratum 0 clocks. Stratum 2...15 are NTP machines that are connected, in turn, to lower level clocks and each other.</p>\n<p>This guide describes how to synchronize accurately with Stratum 1 and 2 machines, and maintain as accurate of system clock as possible throughout the day. Sections are also included on how to allow your machine to operate as a Stratum 2/3 server for other machines on your local network.</p>\n<p><strong>Do I have to make an NTP server?</strong></p>\n<p>No... absolutely not! If you're satisfied with the clocks on your network having some unknown difference from the standard time (and each other), then you do not have to set up an NTP server. I set one up on my laptop in order to synchronize multiple machines on a local network within < 1 ms for a bioengineering experiment. There are various other advantages, in addition, which are described below.</p>\n<p><strong>Motivation:</strong></p>\n<p>Regularly, unmodified Ubuntu boxes use ntpdate (<code>/usr/sbin/ntpdate</code>) to synchronize the clock periodically with some external time server. This approach synchronizes the clock with a coarse resolution (typically once a day).</p>\n<p>Computer clocks are imperfect, and will drift from the (correct) time server during the day. Furthermore, drift rates in the clocks of different computers differ, such that by the end of the day significant differences may exist between different locally networked machines, which may interfere with certain operations (for instance, ever have a makefile complain when moving source code among different machines?).</p>\n<p>It is possible to run the NTP daemon locally on a machine on your network. This has multiple advantages: first, the NTP daemon gradually "learns" the drift rate of your local machine, and can correct for it throughout the day. Synchronization with upper level time servers takes place multiple times a day, and many different time servers may be used simultaneously to make the synchronization more accurate. In this way, the NTP daemon acts as an accurate time client, keeping your system clock as close to the the standard time as possible.</p>\n<p>In addition to maintaining an accurate system clock, the NTP daemon allows a machine on your network (if you would like) to operate as an NTP time server. Doing so will allow other machines on your local network to synchronize with your LAN time server in a very quick and accurate manner, since network latency is minimized. In this way, the differences in clocks between machines on your network is kept as minimal as possible. Mac, and even Windows boxes are also able to synchronize with an NTP server, should you set one up.</p>\n<p>There are other, less personal, motivations for setting up a machine as an NTP server. First, doing so may decrease the strain on higher level NTP servers, since other machines on your LAN may synchronize with a locally established time server. Also, ntpdate has been deprecated in favor of using the -q flag for ntpd (which mimics its functionality). Thus, even if you do not want to run ntpd constantly in the background, ntpdate will eventually be replaced with ntpd, so you may want to become familiar with it now</p>\n<p><strong>How to Maintain an Accurate System Clock with ntpd</strong></p>\n<ol>\n<li>Install the NTP daemon</li>\n</ol>\n<p>First, install the NTP daemon (ntpd):</p>\n<pre><code>sudo aptitude install ntpd\n</code></pre>\n<p>As was previously mentioned, ntpd can act both as a client (synchronizing your system time) and as a server (providing accurate time for other machines).</p>\n<p>Optionally, you may also want to remove the previous (deprecated) time synchronization program, ntpdate. Perhaps it may be wiser to do so after you have ntpd working</p>\n<pre><code>sudo aptitude remove ntpdate\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Configure the daemon properly</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The configuration file for ntpd is located at <code>/etc/ntp.conf</code>. The default Ubuntu file probably requires some modification for optimal performance.</p>\n<p>The first section you may want to modify is the list of servers to synchronize with. The default section probably looks as follows:</p>\n<pre><code># You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).\nserver ntp.ubuntu.com\n</code></pre>\n<p>In order to get the most accurate time possible, it is preferable to communicate with multiple different NTP servers, and keep them as close to your physical location as possible. There are various different server lists online, probably the best is located here. There is some debate over the proper number of servers to use. One is better than two, and three or more probably is a good idea, so long as you don't go too overboard. An example of a few time servers that I used follows:</p>\n<pre><code>server nist1-dc.WiTime.net iburst\nserver ntp0.mcs.anl.gov\nserver 0.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 1.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 2.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 3.us.pool.ntp.org\n</code></pre>\n<p>Once a few good servers have been found, add them to the list, putting <code>'iburst'</code> after the most promising one. For instance:</p>\n<pre><code>server nist1-dc.WiTime.net iburst\n</code></pre>\n<p>This will cause ntpd to synchronize very quickly with this server after starting up. Otherwise, ntpd will slowly tend to drift towards agreement with the server list (as is its nature), and it may take 15-20 minutes to synchronize well enough to act as a time server for the rest of your network.</p>\n<p>Also, add a few extra lines to the bottom of your servers list to provide your current local time as a default should you temporarily lose Internet connectivity:</p>\n<pre><code>server 127.127.1.0\nfudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10\n</code></pre>\n<p>This will prevent any nastiness if you're running ntpd on a laptop or other machine with intermittent periods of disconnection from the Internet.</p>\n<p>All in all, the server list should look similar to the following (this is mine, your servers will probably be different):</p>\n<pre><code># You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).\nserver nist1-dc.WiTime.net iburst\nserver ntp0.mcs.anl.gov\nserver 0.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 1.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 2.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 3.us.pool.ntp.org\nserver 127.127.1.0\nfudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Make sure the configuration works</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Now that you have a proper server list in your <code>/etc/ntp.conf</code> file, it is time to run the daemon and see if you synchronize properly! Make sure you have an active Internet connection, and then run:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart\n</code></pre>\n<p>Next, monitor your system log to see if you synchronize with a time server:</p>\n<pre><code>tail -f /var/log/syslog\n</code></pre>\n<p>In about 10-15 seconds (or up to 15-20 minutes if you forgot to put 'iburst' after your favorite server), you should see something like the following in your system log:</p>\n<pre><code>Jul 17 16:50:22 hostname ntpd[22402]: synchronized to 140.221.9.20, stratum 2\n</code></pre>\n<p>If this message never comes, you have not yet properly synchronized with the NTP server network. Check the list of NTP peers you are communicating with using the following:</p>\n<pre><code>ntpq -c lpeer\n</code></pre>\n<p>If the 'delay', 'offset', and 'jitter' fields are non-zero and you haven't synchronized, it probably means that you just need to wait a while. Check again that you've inserted the 'iburst' argument to your servers list! My peers, for reference, look something like the following:</p>\n<pre><code> remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter\n==============================================================================\n*milo.mcs.anl.go 192.5.41.40 2 u 4 64 77 46.213 67.753 2.207\n-europium.canoni 193.79.237.14 2 u 63 64 37 97.375 71.020 1.875\n-dtype.org 69.25.96.13 2 u 2 64 77 86.956 69.178 1.804\n+smtp130.junkema 216.218.254.202 2 u 2 64 77 87.266 67.677 0.916\n+kechara.flame.o 216.218.254.202 2 u - 64 77 89.183 68.717 1.713\n-host2.kingrst.c 99.150.184.201 2 u - 64 77 24.306 62.121 2.608\n LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 59 64 37 0.000 0.000 0.002\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Share! (optional)</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Once ntpd is running and is synchronized with the time servers you have selected, you may set it up in order to act as a time server for other machines. To do so, add a section like the following to <code>/etc/ntp.conf</code>:</p>\n<pre><code># Allow LAN machines to synchronize with this ntp server\nrestrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap\nrestrict 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap\n# You may add as many (or few) CIDR address blocks to allow to synchronize with your machine as you'd like. I included those commonly used with Linksys (192.168.1.*) and SMC (192.168.2.*) routers.\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Synchronize! (optional)</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Once you've set up an NTP server using steps 1-4, you can synchronize the other machines on your network with your server in various manners. I outline a couple of them below:</p>\n<p>ntpd:</p>\n<p>If you have ntpd installed on another machine, you can use your first server in the servers list of your ntp.conf file, or can synchronize one time with the -q option, as follows:</p>\n<pre><code>ntpd -q [IP address of your server]\n</code></pre>\n<p>ntpdate:</p>\n<p>If you still have ntpdate installed on another machine, you may use it to synchronize with your server as follows:</p>\n<pre><code>ntpdate [IP address of your server]\n</code></pre>\n<p>Note: if you are running ntpd on a machine and for some reason still want to use ntpdate to set the time, you must use the -u option.</p>\n<p>Windows:</p>\n<p>Windows machines use a simplified version of NTP called Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), and can synchronize with NTP servers. In order to synchronize with your new server, double click on the time and go to the "Internet Time" tab. Put the IP address of your server in the "Server" field. I have attached a screenshot of Windows XP synchronizing with a LAN time server, should anybody be interested.</p>\n<p>That's it! The entire process is not hard, but can be confusing to somebody who hasn't dealt much with the NTP network before. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any problems setting up your server.</p>\n<p>Mike</p>\n<p>Links</p>\n<p>I found the following links helpful... you may, too!</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/0...tp-server.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/0...tp-server.html</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://lists.ntp.isc.org/pipermail/q...er/011889.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://lists.ntp.isc.org/pipermail/q...er/011889.html</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...Fntp.conf_File\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...Fntp.conf_File</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm</a></li>\n</ul>\n",

14584 | 1 | 14817 | 2010-11-23T19:57:12.047 | 19 | 4069 | <p>I find the man page format extremely painful to write. Is there a GUI (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG">WYSIWYG</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYM">WYSIWYM</a>) editor available to make this task easier? I'm hoping for an application that is to man pages as <a href="http://kompozer.net/">Kompozer</a> is to web pages.</p>
<p>I have tried <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/p/gmanedit">gmanedit</a> but have found that it is basically just a text editor with some easily available snippets - it is necessary to know the man page format to use it and the editing area is just a text widget.</p>
<p>While I'd prefer software that is in the official Ubuntu repositories, I am OK with using unsupported methods for installation such as PPAs or installing from source.</p>

14585 | 1 | 14612 | 2010-11-23T20:05:38.470 | 8 | 1903 | <p>After searching this site, and reading the Ubuntu community documentation, I've decided to use a simple tar command such as </p>
<pre><code>sudo tar -cvpzf serverbackupMMDDYYYY.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/backups --exclude=/boot --exclude=/dev --exclude=/home -exclude=/tmp --exclude=serverbackupMMDDYYYY.tgz /
</code></pre>
<p>To backup my system. While researching how to backup my system it seemed some people recommended excluding /dev (as I'm doing above) and others warned that there could be problems doing that (but they didn't elaborate).</p>
<p>What are the pros and cons of including or excluding /dev in a backup?</p>
<p>I tested a full backup/restore and didn't run into any problems excluding /dev myself, but I also think I took more steps than necessary to restore. After inserting a non broken hard drive I reinstalled Ubuntu and then extracted the backup over the fresh install.</p>

I'm tired of Skype, but unfortunately I don't rule the world and I can make anyone switch. Are there any alternate clients? Like something I can use to connect to Skype, add contacts, and chat? Video support would be nice, but it's optional. I know SkypeKit needs a payment first, so it's unlikely anyone has made anything with it, but, I'm DESPERATE right now -__- (the crashing has made me lose stuff, so I'm a bit... you know).</p>
<p>ANYTHING that works would be GREATLY appreciated.</p>
<p>I'll use ekiga for contacts who don't care about Skype, but some won't switch so ekiga is off the list :P</p>

14645 | 1 | 14658 | 2010-11-24T01:17:10.207 | 18 | 21632 | <p>Sometimes I need to quickly copy a file from my remote server to my local machine. Here's my current workflow:</p>
<ol>
<li>I SSH into my remote server, find the file and copy its full path.</li>
<li>I open new terminal tab and type:</li>
</ol>
<p><code>sftp user@hostname:/path/to/file</code> (where /path/to/file is the path I previously copied)</p>
<p>It's not such a pain but it would be really nice if I could skip step 1 and find the path to the file using tab completion directly when typing the sftp command.</p>
<p>To illustrate, I could start typing <code>sftp user@hostname:/</code> press <kbd>TAB</kbd> and get a listing of folders in /. I could then go on typing <code>ho</code> press <kbd>TAB</kbd> and it would auto-complete to <code>home</code>, etc. etc.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if such a feature exists and otherwise, is it theoretically possible to write a custom tab completion script as described? Any pointers on where to start?</p>

<p>Is there a way I can set up the external HD to always be on/mounted, even if no one is actually logged in on that machine?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Joe</p>

14666 | 1 | null | 2010-11-24T05:06:29.243 | 0 | 6646 | <p>I have oracle virtualbox3.2 installed on ubuntu 9.10 desktop. It was working fine for a long time but suddenly today when I try to open virtualbox going to Applications>system tools> it's showing the below error message on a window:</p>
<pre><code>Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Start tag expected, '<' not found.
Location: '/home/avyakta/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/home/vbox/vbox-3.2.6/src/VBox/Main/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[535] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())
</code></pre>
<p>I also tried "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" but no use.</p>
<p>The 'Virtualbox.xml' file was empty, so I removed it and I re-registered vbox again. I had to add the VDIs again but it's not taking the snapshots having specified snapshot location. So I'm looking if there is any way I can make vdi's and its snapshots working.</p>

<li>Is there a tool which can batch extract/convert the Notes into individual similarly named text files (or something similar) for "portability"?</li>

14672 | 1 | null | 2010-11-24T05:50:11.340 | 6 | 978 | <p>I am using nm-applet to interface with NetworkManager, running xmonad as a window manager. My X sessions (including nm-applet) are set up with a <code>/usr/local/bin/xmonad.start</code> script.</p>
<p>My question is, how can I keep nm-applet running in the background as long as X is running, but not necessarily xmonad? As mentioned above, it is being started with xmonad (and dying with it when xmonad is restarted, etc).</p>
<p>I am using gdm to manage my X sessions, and I'm running 10.10. Where's a good place to start nm-applet to suit my particular needs? I need to remove it from the control of xmonad, but don't know where to start it otherwise.</p>
<p>Any help, tips, etc appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong>: problem seems to be with how I have integrated xmonad. I have the session script as a file in <code>/usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop</code> with the following contents:</p>
<pre><code>[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XMonad
Comment=Lightweight tiling window manager
Exec=/usr/local/bin/xmonad.start
Icon=xmonad.png
Type=XSession
</code></pre>
<p><code>/usr/local/bin/xmonad.start</code> contains the following:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
xcompmgr -c &
trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --width 8 --heighttype pixel --height 18 --transparent true --alpha 0 --tint 0x000000 &
gnome-settings-daemon &
gnome-screensaver &
if [ -x /usr/bin/nm-applet ] ; then
nm-applet --sm-disable &

/usr/bin/urxvtd -q -o -f &

if [ -x /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager ] ; then
sleep 1
gnome-power-manager &
fi
/usr/bin/gnome-volume-control-applet &
exec xmonad
</code></pre>
<p>The question is how do I integrate xmonad, gdm, X, etc in such a manner to replicate the behavior I currently have <em>except</em> with nm-applet (and possibly other programs) running whether or not xmonad is?</p>

Something like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Typing_of_the_Dead">Typing of the Dead</a> sounds great, but is Windows only, and as far as I can tell one of a kind.

Either:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>The program did not behave according to the programmer’s intentions. or</li>\n<li>The programmer’s intentions did not fulfill common and reasonable user expectations.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Ubuntu community has a excellent definition for bug in this <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs\" rel=\"noreferrer\">wiki</a>, especially highlighting the difference between <strong>bug</strong> and <strong>missing features</strong>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>A software bug is an error or fault in a computer program which makes it fail to work as it's supposed to. This could be as simple as failing to work at all, or as complicated as a subtly incorrect result [...] Some things aren't bugs, but are missing features that should be reasonably included. Missing features shouldn't be reported as bugs, instead FeatureSpecifications should be written for them. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>While it is hard to draw a line separating the two definitions and answer the question <em>is it bugs or missing features?</em>, it is possible to give some guidelines: </p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>if it's a problem that would have many details to address, it's likely to be a feature. For example, the inability to write files safely to a <em>modern Windows partition</em> is a missing feature. </li>\n<li>The inability to write files safely to a <em>ReiserFS partition</em> would be a bug. </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The difference between the two assertions is: the first is more widespread (support modern windows FS) and thus can be view as Missing Feature, while the other emphasizes a unique problem (can't write into ReiserFS) - a specific bug.</p>\n\n<p>If you are interested, I recommends you to take a look at the <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved\" rel=\"noreferrer\">BugSquad team</a> wiki. Fighting bugs is one of the most interesting activities involved in software development cycle, besides being a great learning opportunity :-)</p>\n\n<p>Thanks!</p>\n",

<p>I was suspecting the hardware and/or the floppy disk to be defective, and so I tested the floppy disk as well as the floppy drive itself under Windows XP, and everything was just fine. </p>
<p>I was able to find the following instructions: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>Add the following line to the /etc/modules file: </p>
<p><code>floppy</code></p></li>
<li><p>Enter the following shell commands: </p>
<p><code>mkdir /media/floppy</code><br>
<code>mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/floppy -o uid=1000</code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>This will mount the floppy, but I would like this to happen automatically, so when I connect the drive to the USB port, it automatically mounts the floppy.</p>
<p>How can I make this work? Or does Ubuntu only work with internal Floppy drives? </p>

<p>I hope I can make myself clear, but I find myself struggling more often than not when I want to zoom any window in ubuntu 10.10. The pointer has to be positioned very nearly pixel-perfect before I get a zoom-pointer and get the ability to zoom the window.
This is especially true if you want to zoom from any of the bottom corners.</p>
<p>Is there some way so make this process a bit more forgiving? When I am in the vicinity of the corner i would like to be able to zoom.</p>
<p>So is there a setting to increase the margin, the area ... or other ways to somehow make my zooming life easier :)</p>

14740 | 1 | 14799 | 2010-11-24T14:27:19.783 | 23 | 96000 | <p>One of my Ubuntu 10.04 servers is giving me trouble.
When I run <code>fsck.ext4 -n /dev/sda5</code> it tells me there are errors in the free inode count, free block count, and more.</p>
<p>I have tried:</p>
<pre><code>touch /forcefsck
</code></pre>
<p>Also tried:</p>
<pre><code>shutdown -rF now
</code></pre>
<p>and still, after reboot, I see errors.</p>
<p>I also just checked on my eeePC netbook, Ubuntu 10.10, and have the same issue!</p>
<p>How can I force a really "forced" "forceful" "seriously fix my filesystem" fsck of the "/" filesystem on reboot?</p>
<p><strong>Clarification:</strong> I run <code>fsck.ext4 -n</code> because it's a mounted filesystem, to check if there are errors. This tells me that there are. I thought that the automatic fsck every 30 mounts during the boot-up process is <strong>precisely</strong> to take care of errors in the root filesystem. But it doesn't do it in my case.
I could reboot with a LiveCD and fix the errors, and then reboot again, but that's some serious downtime for a live server. A reboot, auto fsck, then continue booting is much more sustainable on a live server, and I believe should be the right behaviour.</p>
<p><strong>Additional info:</strong> Here is the output. It looks like something that the autofsck would fix, doesn't it?</p>

<li>These files can be deleted/changed by these users (user A can delete/modify file that was copied into this directory) </li>

<p>it cant be done using normal file permissions (because permissions are retained on copy).</p>

<ul>
<li>Sharing music on local machine </li>
<li>Simple git repository sharing (just make a bare repository writeable to many people) --- i know that there are solutions like gitosis</li>
<li>Allow many developers to modify test instance of php app without giving them root (i guess they would copy files) --- I'm leading a team of nonprofit junior developers and I need to keep that one simple! </li>

<p>AFAIK setting SGID bit is not enugh, it only affects newly created files --- and basic workflow for these use cases ivnolves copying and other operations (which cleave file's gid unchanged) </p>

<p>When I booted-up this morning I got a dialog which presented the above message and <strong>no other information</strong>! </p>
<p>The dialog is "helpful" in that it tells me something is wrong, but I have no idea what it is referring to; so it isn't actually helpful. </p>
<p>What might be causing this "backup" error when I am <strong>starting</strong> the system? </p>
<p>I've restarted several times and keep getting the same message. </p>
<p>I checked the disks using <em>System--Administration--Disk Utility</em> via a <strong>Live-CD</strong>, and it reported <strong>no errors</strong>.</p>
<hr>
<p>I've just now noticed one tell-tale sign which is probably significant, but I don't know how to interpret it... </p>
<p>My normal routine, with two of my drives (single partition per drive) is to <strong>manually</strong> mount them (via Nautilus)...

This solution works for Xbox and Xbox One Controllers too.</p>\n<p>As drivers, I've used <em><a href=\"http://xboxdrv.gitlab.io/xboxdrv.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">xboxdrv</a></em> and <em><strong>xpad</strong></em> before on my notebook (from Ubuntu LTS-Versions 12.04 until 18.04), but <em>xboxdrv</em> failed to be fully recognised with some games on my new PC with a fresh Kubuntu 18.04 LTS installed, because <em>xboxdrv</em> it is unmaintained now (since about 2 years). The last Ubuntu LTS it was working perfectly for me was 14.04, just with installing the <a href=\"https://github.com/raelgc/ubuntu_xboxdrv\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">PPA</a>.</p>\n<p>Just after installing Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for that matter), I’ve first tried to use my <strong>Xbox360 Wireless Controller</strong> gamepads and it worked out of the box with the default kernel driver version of <em>xpad</em>, but only in some games, where the analog bumpers (LB and RB) where not needed. Problems arrived in <strong>Steam</strong> and <strong>Steam Play</strong>, for native Linux games as well as Windows games though Steam Play (Valve's Wine adaption inside steam). <em>Valkyria Chronicles</em> played well, in <em>Grand Theft Auto V</em> only the camera worked (unplayable) and in <em>Project Cars 2</em> I was able to assign the basic controls to buttons that worked, but it was almost unplayable.</p>\n<p>I tried every solution with <em>xboxdrv</em> then, that I could find on the net, but it’s just too old now. Valve contributed a lot to linux gaming since then. All buttons worked with <em>xboxdrv</em>, but the configuration mixed up the axis of the right stick and the right bumper and I couldn’t figure out how to solve it.</p>\n<p>So here is the solution using <em>xpad</em> that made all the magic happen just by installing it.

<p>This gives me an IP address that I can turn on or off using <code>ifup</code> and <code>ifdown</code>. However, by default it is on.

<p><strong>Clarification</strong>:</p>
<p>I see that ssmtp and nullmailer are suggested, but I need something (just a) little more clever. I have one machine (machine.domain1.com) where I want local mail to be delivered at realuser@domain2.com and I want it delivered through direct connection to mx.domain2.com </p>
<p>So when I do mail root on machine1.com it should get forward to realuser@domain2.com. Issue with nullmailer and ssmtp is that forwarding is done to mx.domain2.com but mail is delivered with a RCPT TO set to root@domain1.com and I want the RCPT TO set to realuser@domain2.com</p>
<p>Possible with a simple solution or do I need to digg into postfix or exim for this? </p>

Google Chrome 7.0.517.44 (64615), with AutoScroll - Version: 2.7.5; <em>AdBlock is <strong>removed</strong> because of high CPU loads, and unconfortable speed of machine.</em></p>
<p><em>"Your profile could not be opened correctly"</em> error is displayed:
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oqiio.png" alt="cannot load profile"> <em>This image is only an illustration.</em></p>
<p>The reason is that I changed permissions of some config files, to don't remember the history, there are no setting in options, to don't use history.</p>
<p>I've been removed write permission to:</p>
<pre><code>~/.config/google-chrome$ find . -group nopasswdlogin

<p>When I solved all of my problem, I'll remove some other write permission, this is a public place.</p>

I'm currently using <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Planner" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gnome Planner</a> which I downloaded from the Software Centre, but my course teaches us to use <a href="http://openproj.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenProj</a>, which I don't really like since it's pretty sluggish on my computer. I'm attempting to import the <code>*.planner</code> file from Planner into OpenProj, but it's not working. Planner exports to three different file format: <code>*.planner</code>, <code>*.mrproject</code> and *<code>.html</code> and none of them can be imported to OpenProj, whose default filetype is <code>*.pod</code> and can also export to <code>*.xml</code> and *<code>.pdf</code>. This all seems a bit messy to me.</p>
