$ cat /usr/share/doc/jbossas4/README.Debian
jbossas4 is currently in a very alpha stage of packaging. I can be used
to build other libraries depending on JBoss like libhibernate3-java but
it is not complete and cannot be used as an application server yet.

"accepted": true,
"body": "<p>Having attempted to package jboss myself, I'm pretty sure I know why there isn't a good package for it. </p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><p>Business requirements. It's an \"enterprise-ish\" RedHat product. Ubuntu is a Debian-esque distribution. So, not many people use it on Ubuntu or Debian, because most people who want the \"enterprise\" bit of it also want the enterprise support, and figure it's better to just go RedHat all the way.</p></li>\n<li><p>Stricter requirements. Have you taken a look at the tomcat package? It's a mess. All over the place. The Tomcat tarball distribution (and the RedHat package, for that matter) place everything in /usr/share, last I checked, which was a couple years ago. The Debian/Ubuntu packages, in contrast, have the variable data in /var/lib/tomcat* (CATALINA_HOME), the static java libraries in /usr/share/tomcat* (TOMCAT_HOME), the JNI's in /usr/lib/tomcat*, and use symlinks to tie it all together. This is because the Debian package is designed to have a single tomcat installation be able to serve multiple running tomcat instances, and because the packaging requirements are much more strict for Debian/Ubuntu and actually insist that configuration is in /etc, variable data is in /var, and so on. RedHat has no such requirements, and the JBoss distribution rather lumps it all together in a way that is difficult to parcel out.</p></li>\n<li><p>Perfectionism in the face of poor/nonexistent documentation. If you look at the Debian/Ubuntu packages for libjboss-*, you'll see that all the libraries are separate packages. This is because they're not actually a single product, but a collection of them, that just happen to work together. In the standard JBoss tarball, you have \"default\" and \"all\" (and \"minimal\", I think...) that are a few \"example\" combinations...but many combinations are actually possible. I'm certain the packager knows this, and is trying to make a way to only install those libraries you <em>need</em> in the system JBoss installation, as is good practice (but hardly ever followed, in the case of JBoss, where nearly everyone just uses the \"all\" example).</p></li>\n<li><p>Difficulty of integration. There are no service start scripts that are anywhere near the level of sophistication that is normal in Ubuntu. The server process itself just spits to stdout, even. You'd need to find ways of redirecting to log files, in a rotate-able manner, set up the cron/logwatch to deal with it, write the init script, etc. This is not trivial, especially considering that JBoss is a collection of \"whatever\" libraries the user decides to use, and is <em>not</em> designed with system installations in mind -- it's clearly a \"run this out of your home directory\" type of setup, out of the box.</p></li>\n<li><p>Lack of need. The tarball, placed in /opt, perhaps with <code>checkinstall</code>, does the job for anyone who actually does large-scale deployments. If you're doing large-scale deployments, you typically have your own package repository anyway, so one more isn't much of an issue. There just isn't enough need to make a <em>good</em> package for it.</p></li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>That said, I've been working on making on such a package. I've been \"working on it\" for two years, though I actually need it now. Hopefully, there will be a PPA for it soon. :-) If you have done .deb packaging before, and know JBoss internals, perhaps we can collaborate.</p>\n",

<p>I am using ubuntu 10.4</p>
<p>When I right click a folder I go to "Sharing Options"</p>
<p>There are 3 check boxes. If I check the first 2 which are "share this folder" and "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" I can now <em>see</em> this folder on the network from my pc.</p>
<p>I cannot access it though, it asks for a username and password (I never set one up so I don't even know what credentials it wants.)</p>
<p>I don't want to have to log in, I just want to be able to go right in.</p>
<p>So If I check the third box, which is "guest access" I can now access the folder from my pc. But so can everyone else on the network. I just want myself and a couple other pc users on the network to be able to access it.</p>
<p>I do not see anyplace where I can specify what users on the network have permission to access it? How do I do that?</p>
<hr />
<h2>update</h2>
<p>When I entered my user name and password for the linux machine, it gave me this error message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>\LINUX-SERVER\saga_repo is not
accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have
access permissions.</p>
<p>Multiple connections to a server or
shared resource by the same user,
using more than one user name, are not
allowed. Disconnect all previous
connections to the server or shared
resource and try again.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I noticed that when type in my username it defaults to @MY-DOMAIN so I also tried myuser@linux-server but still got the same message.</p>
<p>Also the domain administrator (who knows nothing about linux) told me that the linux machine is not a part of the domain (even though I can see it when I go to My Network Places from my windows machine). I don't know if that means anything.</p>
<p>I also tried created a new user on ubuntu to try to log in with and got the same message. I tried to log in with my user and the new user from a workers machine and I couldn't get in from there either but I just got an "access denied" dialog everytime on his machine.</p>
<p>Is there possibly another step I am missing?</p>

<p>I know that on-line RAM test is a contradiction in terms (because a full physical check requires that no process will be running), but I wonder if there is any way to make a random physical check which might give some indication of RAM failure.</p>

17808 | 1 | 17839 | 2010-12-16T21:47:44.510 | 1 | 783 | <p>My old GF 8600 went dead some weeks ago. While I waited for my new card, I used an old Trident PCI card to use the desktop. I could use windows but not Ubuntu, but I still removed several nvidia drivers using the command line: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/15118/getting-an-old-trident-video-accelerator-9440-to-work">https://askubuntu.com/questions/15118/getting-an-old-trident-video-accelerator-9440-to-work</a></p>
<p>Two days ago I got my new card, a Radeon HD 5670. I reinstalled Windows, as it crippled itself because of the driver change (I use dual boot). The Windows install killed grub, so I reinstalled it using this: <a href="http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-restore-grub-2-after.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-restore-grub-2-after.html</a></p>
<p>After that, my three windows partitions could not be mounted during load time (guess that's because their mount folders are missing), and skipping the mount process lead me to a freezing black screen, so I commented the lines on fstab with nano.
Then I restarted Ubuntu, but it keeps locking up at the black screen.</p>
<p>I guess Ubuntu is thinking I still have a GF, or it simply misses the nvidia display drivers. I googled around, but couldn't find any tip to solve my problem. I know ubuntu recognizes the card, as I can use Live CD perfectly.</p>
<p>Any help is welcome!</p>
<hr>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>My fstab: <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/545356/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://paste.ubuntu.com/545356/</a></p>

<p>As I can see, I'm still hooked to nvidia. How can I wipe it out?</p>

It will work relatively well. However, note that NTFS doesn't support all the advanced <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions\" rel=\"nofollow\">permissions</a> and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system\" rel=\"nofollow\">journaling</a> that Linux filesystems do, and that Linux requires to work nicely. This means that if you use the partition for anything other than simple data, you may run into issues. Note also that the NTFS implementation is rather new, and not <em>as</em> rock solid as the one for FAT or even HFS. </li>\n</ul>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>whether there are better ways</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<ul>\n<li>You could back up the data to another drive and start from a clean slate. The Ubuntu installer will give you one big partition for all your stuff, and this is the way things work most nicely in Linux.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>But as I said, mounting and using the big partition will work perfectly. If you choose not to create a real Linux file system.</p>\n\n<p>You can't convert them easily and safely. If you want to change a file system, you should back up the data anyway. And if you do, creating a new partition and restoring the data to it makes a lot more sense. I'm relatively sure there isn't a stable implementation of NTFS to ext4 conversion. File systems are awesomely complicated. :-)</p>\n\n<p>If you have only the one hard drive, and no possibility of backing it all up, I'd recommend to touch it as little as possible. Don't shrink partitions, let alone try to convert file system. Install Ubuntu on the 250GB partition, </p>\n\n<p>you'll be very happy.</p>\n",

17870 | 1 | 17871 | 2010-12-17T09:30:04.380 | 10 | 318 | <p>When I uninstall some software and then reinstall it through Ubuntu Software Centre after a short period of time, the notification says that it is only being installed and not downloaded. However if this is done after a long period of time, it has to be both downloaded and installed. This leads me to two related questions.</p>
<p>(1) Is recently uninstalled software hidden in some form in some place so that it is not downloaded again?</p>
<p>(2) After how long is this cleared so that it has to be downloaded again?</p>

When you're notified of new updates, packages have not been downloaded yet (or you must have configured otherwise, and packages are downloaded, but not installed).<br>\nIf you make your packages information up to date by running <code>sudo apt-get update</code> or pressing <code>Refresh</code> in your package manager, the latest versions of packages will be known to the package manager. When proceeding with the upgrade, either by running <code>sudo apt-get upgrade</code> or by pressing <code>Apply</code> at Synaptic, the latest version of a package will be used.

If that file was outdated, a new one will be retrieved.</p>\n\n<p>If you look in your cache directory at <code>/var/cache/apt/archives</code>, you'll notice that packages are identified by name and version. For example, I've three different files (versions) of <code>chromium-browser</code> in that directory:</p>\n\n<pre><code>chromium-browser_11.0.696.57~r82915-0ubuntu0.11.04.1_amd64.deb\nchromium-browser_11.0.696.65~r84435-0ubuntu0.11.04.1_amd64.deb\nchromium-browser_11.0.696.68~r84545-0ubuntu0.11.04.1_amd64.deb\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The purpose of this cache is to speed up re-installing applications if needed. You can compare it to your Internet browsers cache, images are only downloaded the first time. In the future, the browser checks at the server whether the image is up-to-date. If so, the cached one will be used. Otherwise, a new one is downloaded rendering the old one useless.</p>\n",

17873 | 1 | 18336 | 2010-12-17T09:55:48.483 | 1 | 3149 | <p>I've bought a Cisco RVS4000 router, and have set up VPN on the box.</p>
<p>The only way to connect to it seems to be through a client called QuickVPN, which Cisco only releases for windows. I've successfully set up the VPN tunnel on my windows partition, but would like to make it work on my Ubuntu partition as well.</p>
<p>I've tried to install the QuickVPN client through WINE, and when I run it, it seems to be connecting. BUT... after a little while, the client says "The remote gateway is not responding. Do you want to wait?". If I click yes, it comes back after a little while, and if I click no, it disconnects.</p>
<p>If I ping any known ip on the other side of the tunnel while connected, I get no answers.
I were thinking it might need some more privileges to create an interface or something like that, but I don't have any experience with WINE, and know that you should never run WINE as root or sudo it.</p>
<p>I've also found out that QuickVPN uses some kind of IPSEC, but that it apparently does something non-standard/proprietary, and therefore is not compatible with the IPSEC stack.</p>
<p>I'm all open for suggestions? :)</p>

<hr>
<p>I have 2 identical USB drives which I've both formatted to identical specs using Gparted. Both have two identical primary partitions (ext4 and ntfs). </p>
<ul>
<li><p>I have not created any mount-point directories for them.<br>
(An afterthougt: actually I did, but deleted them, so there are none now.
and I did manually mount them (as a test)... Maybe(?) this has <strong>done</strong> something(?)
but there are now no "created-by-me" directories in /media, for these USB drives) </p></li>
<li><p>There is no mention of them in /etc/fstab. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>I want them to auto-mount, and I'd expect them to mount identically...<br>
...but for some reason, the <strong>ext4</strong> partitions are mounting with different <strong>permissions</strong> and different <strong>group</strong>. </p>
<p>As can be expected with <em>root:root</em> ownership, and <em>no write permission</em> for <em>group/other</em>, it is causing my rsync backup to fail (for usb2). </p>
<p>What might be causing these different mount settings?... (I'm using 10.04) </p>
<pre><code>rsync: failed to set times on "/media/usb2ext4/.": Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/media/usb2ext4/.Trash-1000" failed: Permission denied (13)

<p>Should I install them from the Mozilla website, using the Firefox browser, or should I search Firefox in the Software Center and then select the interesting applications ?</p>

<p>I tried installing 11.04 on a VMWare virtual machine. I get a dialog saying I don't have 3d support so I can't turn on Unity. I learn that 3d drivers are not available for Ubuntu on VMWare.</p>
<p>So I figure, I'll just use the live CD on my computer itself. (i.e., no VM.) I load the live CD, install the NVidia drivers, but then it asks me to restart in order to use the driver. But if I restart, everything is lost because it's a live CD! I don't want to install Ubuntu on my computer, I just want to try out my app on it.</p>
<p>What can I do?</p>

17892 | 1 | null | 2010-12-17T13:39:49.213 | 4 | 10608 | <p>I had very strange issue , I rebooted my PC (Ubuntu 10.10) , when the login screen comes back, what ever user I select it expands the password field and collapses it again in less than 1 second.</p>
<p>Some services like <code>ssh</code> , <code>vnc</code> don't work so I can't login to it remotely, however I can login in tty but still can't login via GDM.</p>
<p>I tried to reinstall gnome via <code>sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-desktop</code> and many other command about reconfigure gnome , but nothing help.</p>
<p>I recorded a <a href="http://dagho.com/ubuntu.3gp" rel="nofollow">video of the problem</a> via my mobile camera (sorry about the low quality ) </p>
<p>some of my error logs <code>xserver log</code> and its the same in the <code>startup error log</code> : </p>
<pre><code>(ww) warning , couldn't open module nvidia
(EE) Failed to load module 'nvidia' ( module doesn't exist , 0 )
(EE) no drivers avaliable
fatal server error :
no screens found
</code></pre>
<p>and now i was stuck in the recovery mode , </p>
<p>normal mode isn't working any more </p>
<p>2- in the recovery mode + failxsafe :
i had tried to create a default configuration for my hardware and after a reboot , with no luck the same problem again .</p>
<p>3-i had tried to reinstall nVidia driver as Jorge suggested in these setps : </p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 /// i took a while
sudo nvidi-setting -r to write new config
</code></pre>
<p>and after reboot nothing changed </p>
<p>4- i tried to install <code>sudo apt-get install nvidia-173</code> and after reboot the same error ,</p>
<p>i ran <code>sudo nividia-setting</code> and the new error was </p>
<blockquote>
<p>ERROR : the control display is
undefined , please run <code>nvidia-setting
--help</code> for usage information</p>
</blockquote>
<p>5- beofore this problem i was having this <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia" rel="nofollow">bug</a> , but i wasn't know any thing about it :</p>
<pre><code>Screen Blanks/Monitor Turns Off
Using a laptop with a GeForce Go card, or connecting the sole display via DVI on a dual-head system sometimes results in the screen not receiving a picture. This is caused by the driver outputting video to the VGA port on the graphics card, instead of DVI.
The usual hint that you have this problem is when you hear the startup sound but nothing appears on the screen. If you do not hear any sound, you are more than likely experiencing unrelated problems.
This is a launchpad bug about displays on digital outputs being blank when using NVIDIA binary driver, and can be resolved by editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Switch to the console (Try using ctrl+alt+F1, or reboot and select recovery mode from the GRUB menu.)
Use your text editor to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf. (try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
Find the line that says Section "Screen"
Insert a new line that says Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP".
Save the file. If you had to restart into recovery mode, type reboot, otherwise restart your display using sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.
</code></pre>
<p>and i went to vim <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> and tada the file is empty .
and ubuntu had backup file called <code>xorg.conf.backup</code> , so i went to replace it and reboot ....... same error in the video .</p>
<p>Any help or suggestion is really appreciated. </p>

<a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/142300/how-to-fix-error-unknown-filesystem-grub-rescue">How to fix "error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue></a> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>My Ubuntu 10.10 system suddenly froze/crashed for no reason and I had to hard reboot my computer. Surprisingly it doesn't load anymore and stay stuck on a <em>grub rescue</em> prompt after an "unknown filesystem" message. That was enough clues to start googling for solutions.</p>
<p>a simple <code>grub rescue > ls</code> show me all partitions on hard drives :</p>
<pre><code>(hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,1) (hd1,2) (fd0)
</code></pre>
<p>According to all answers that I've already found, next logical step is to ls again the specific partition that contains the kernel, which is (hd0,1) in my case :</p>
<pre><code>grub rescue > ls (hd0,1)
unknown filesystem
</code></pre>
<p>So here's <strong>the problem : I can do a normal <em>ls</em>, but not <em>ls</em> a partition</strong> (I tried all of them, just to be sure)</p>
<p>Other (unrelated?) issue, I can't repair anything since all Linux Live CD i try stay stuck in an infinite loading splash screen. The one with small dots below ubuntu logo.</p>

How do I reset Nautilus to the default configuration?</p>
<p><em><strong>Update</em></strong>: I've tried moving both <code>~/.nautilus</code> and <code>~/.gconf/apps/nautilus</code> folders as suggested below, but my "Edit" menu is still missing the "Preferences" item. Running the <code>nautilus-file-management-properties</code> applet from the command line I'm still seeing the "Tweaks" tab that nautilus-elementary added.</p>
<p><em><strong>Solved</em></strong>: My problems where caused by the wrong <code>nautilus-data</code> package being installed. I should have replaced the <code>nautilus-data</code> package along with the <code>nautilus</code> one when removing nautilus-elementary. Before that I should have known <em>there was</em> a <code>nautilus-data</code> package ;-)</p>

I am trying to figure out what the exact difference is between the 3 different install Disks.</p>
<p>Like what packages are different and such.</p>
<p>For Example:<br>
- The server disk doesn't install gnome by default and has the non-pretty install wizard.<br>
- The Alternate Install gives options for encryption.</p>
<p>Are there any other differences?</p>

Also under cpu usage I have 2 numbers one is white like U want it and the other is green and I can't figure out how to change just that one to white.<br>
I have pasted my conkyrc if that helps.<br>
I am sure its easy but for some reason I just cant seem to get it.<br>

The kernel does try to re-order drive accesses to minimize the head seeks required, but this is difficult to make optimal as the system can't predict what will be requested in the future.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, the system has to protect certain data structures (e.g. the free block list) from being manipulated by multiple processes concurrently which it does by blocking processes P2, P3, P4...

18021 | 1 | 19938 | 2010-12-18T13:54:40.613 | 3 | 955 | <p>A few months ago compiz suddenly stopped working. That is, it got to a refreshrate where the redrawing is more than noticeable. It took 5 seconds to redraw a chat window. Ever since I've been using metacity instead, but I've found myself missing some plugins badly.</p>
<p>I found the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3130463&postcount=5" rel="nofollow">following solution</a>:</p>
<pre><code> export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace
</code></pre>
<p>This works fine, everything is fast again with compiz. But how to make sure this variable is always set whenever I run compiz?</p>
<p>I'm using standard nVidia drivers, failed to get the open source ones working.</p>

<p>I started the application itself, but could not find some kind of "Pause" button. So I decided to just stop its process. I first tried the lazy way - the system monitor in the Gnome panel has a "Processes" tab - but didn't find it listed there. Then I did a <code>sudo ps -A</code> and read through the whole list. </p>
<p>I don't recognize everything on the list (many process names are self-explaining, like evolution-alarm, but I don't recognize others like phy0) but there was nothing which sounded even remotely like crashplan. But I know that there must have been a process belonging to Crashplan running at this time, because the main Crashplan window was open when I ran the command. </p>
<p>Do you have any advice how to stop this thing from running? The best solution would involve temporary preventing it from loading on boot too, since I may need to reboot while doing the maintenance there. </p>

18037 | 1 | 18040 | 2010-12-18T16:36:07.043 | 20 | 11337 | <p>I often have more than ten windows open at the same time and some of them are of the same applications, notably gnome-terminal. </p>
<p>Often when I am currently on one terminal, I just want to get to another terminal. With Alt-Tab you have to choose from windows of all the applications, which is a pain. Even with Gnome3 which groups windows by applications and gives preview of windows with Alt-` it isn't enough because it's hard to distinguish terminal windows from previews. You can only tell which terminal does what when the full view is shown in most cases.</p>
<p>So is there an application/windowing system/gnome shortcut that shows you only other windows of the same application when you are switching?</p>

<p>Copy and pasting text is really wonky.
Sometimes it works sometimes no matter what I do and copy will paste instead. </p>
<p>I use different programs, thunderbird, firefox and gedit. Sometimes it is fine others I can click all different ways with no luck at all</p>
<p>Things I have tried: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>Installing various clipboard programs. (Seems to be making the issue worse) </p></li>
<li><p>I tried using the esc key also</p></li>
</ul>
<p>What does not work: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd>, mouse right click nor Edit > copy and paste.</p>
<p>I have a Microsoft wireless 1000 keyboard/mouse and dual monitors. Just as a test I put the live CD of 10.04 and could not get the problem to duplicate.
Nvidia graphics card... </p>
<p>Am I so messed up may have to wipe and reinstall 10.04?</p>
