Normal users aren't using the best graphics driver. I first noticed this playing Osmos from the HumbleBundle2, but I can observe it while running glxgears too. Maximised on a 1280x1024, glxgears averages a choppy 60 frames in 5 seconds, vs a smooth 300 frames every 5 seconds for root.</p>
<p>Here's some glxinfo:</p>

22998 | 1 | 23005 | 2011-01-24T07:04:18.150 | 9 | 51043 | <p>I have some pretty dumb IP devices on a subnet with my Ubuntu server, and the server receives streaming data from each device. I have run into a problem in that when an ARP request is issued to the device while it is streaming data to the server, the request is ignored, the cache entry times out and the server stops receiving the stream.</p>
<p>So, to prevent the server from sending ARP requests to these devices altogether, I would like to add a static ARP entry for each, something like</p>
<pre><code>arp -i eth2 -s ip.of.the.device mac:of:the:device
</code></pre>
<p>But these "static" ARP entries are lost if networking is disabled / enabled or if the server is rebooted. Where is the best place to automatically add these entries, preferably somewhere that will re-add them every time the interface eth2 is brought up?</p>
<p>I really don't want to have to write a script that monitors the output of <code>arp</code> and re-adds the cache entries if they're missing. </p>
<hr>
<p>Edit to add what my final script was:</p>
<p>Created the file</p>
<pre><code> /etc/network/if-up.d/add-my-static-arp
</code></pre>
<p>With the contents:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/sh
arp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.4 00:50:cc:44:55:55
arp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.5 00:50:cc:44:55:56
arp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.6 00:50:cc:44:55:57
</code></pre>
<p>And then obviously add the permission to allow it to be executed:</p>
<pre><code>chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/add-my-static-arp
</code></pre>
<p>And these arp entries will be manually added or re-added every time any network interface is brought up.</p>

"body": "\n\n<p><strong>Different environment</strong></p>\n\n<p>Cron passes a minimal set of environment variables to your jobs. To see the difference, add a dummy job like this:</p>\n\n<pre>* * * * * env > /tmp/env.output</pre>\n\n<p>Wait for <code>/tmp/env.output</code> to be created, then remove the job again. Now compare the contents of <code>/tmp/env.output</code> with the output of <code>env</code> run in your regular terminal.</p>\n\n<p>A common \"gotcha\" here is the <code>PATH</code> environment variable being different. Maybe your cron script uses the command <code>somecommand</code> found in <code>/opt/someApp/bin</code>, which you've added to <code>PATH</code> in <code>/etc/environment</code>? cron ignores <code>PATH</code> from that file, so runnning <code>somecommand</code> from your script will fail when run with cron, but work when run in a terminal. It's worth noting that variables from <code>/etc/environment</code> will be passed on to cron jobs, just not the variables cron specifically sets itself, such as <code>PATH</code>.</p>\n\n<p>To get around that, just set your own <code>PATH</code> variable at the top of the script. E.g.</p>\n\n<pre class=\"lang-bsh prettyprint-override\"><code>#!/bin/bash\nPATH=/opt/someApp/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin\n\n# rest of script follows\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Some prefer to just use absolute paths to all the commands instead. I recommend against that. Consider what happens if you want to run your script on a different system, and on that system, the command is in <code>/opt/someAppv2.2/bin</code> instead. You'd have to go through the whole script replacing <code>/opt/someApp/bin</code> with <code>/opt/someAppv2.2/bin</code> instead of just doing a small edit on the first line of the script.</p>\n\n<p>You can also set the PATH variable in the crontab file, which will apply to all cron jobs. E.g.</p>\n\n<pre class=\"lang-bsh prettyprint-override\"><code>PATH=/opt/someApp/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin\n\n15 1 * * * backupscript --incremental /home /root\n</code></pre>\n",

<p>The router uses DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses. I'd like to keep it as such, if possible. I have friends come in and it's easier for them to connect.</p>
<p>From my desktop (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx) I connect via wireless to the router. I can ping the media server and ssh into it using it's IP, but it fails when I use the hostname.</p>
<p>When I ping and ssh wirelessly from my Netbook (Crunchbang Linux), it strangely enough works using the media server's hostname.</p>
<p>That said, I believe it may not be a router configuration issue, but something on my desktop I have to configure.</p>

<p>160 GB HDD, 1GB RAM,INTEL DUAL CORE</p>
<p>One of my friend told that UBUNTU is also a better OS and is an open source programme and u can use alternately both Ubuntu or VISTA,
so I downloaded the disk image for Ubuntu 10.10 and burned it on a CD.</p>
<p>I played it first on Windows Vista so it asked some 3 options of that I chose an option which downloaded Ubuntu Cd helper ,then I selected the first option something 'demo and install' it said to reboot the computer I reboooted it by selecting option reboot now and finishing it,after the computer was restarted.it asked me options for selecting Ubuntu or Windows Vista,I selected Ubuntu, I saw ubuntu is started which was the least time I could see a new Os is started, then I tought I should install it.</p>
<p>After selecting install it ,there came an option to drag option window's vertical line to right or left to increase or decrease the partition for ubuntu and on another side where something 'NTFS' was written I thought it must be for windows I dragged Ubuntu to maximum(5.23GB) left 37.3 GB for NTFS dev and I continued forward, left it for some process going on, the ubuntu was installed I think ,it also asked for some softwares to be installed I let them be installed and let all process finish after looking some features of Ubuntu.</p>
<p>I wanted to go back to windows vista but when I restarted computer it didn't asked me an option for selecting OS 'Ubuntu' or 'Vista' as it had asked me before. it directly started Ubuntu and asked for same options of software to installed ,I removed the CD and Tried again but still I couldn't see anything for Vista,when I checked properties of 'File System' it was written that 2.3 GB is covered and rest 157 GB is free,</p>
<p>I am scared that I have deleted all the data of Vista and Vista OS too,Can I get my VISTA BACK?,it is ok if I don't get anything of Ubuntu,I had many of important files too in my vista.is really my pc been formatted completely,?
from last week I am searching for its solution on Internet I am frustrated a lot, many of the contain particular solution but for before versions of Ubuntu,I just want My vista and vista files back .One of the solutions also contained inserting DVD of vista and some procedure but my DVD player isn't working but CD player is working.I hope some of my Internet friends come to me as a saviour please.</p>
<p>And one note I don't know what is GRUB or all other stuffs as I am knowing very bit of installing OS.</p>

23026 | 1 | 23027 | 2011-01-24T12:14:36.277 | 2 | 304 | <p>I have a weird glitch when working with Inkscape. The little arrows in the rulers that show current cursor position remain there, not being erased. So I end with the ruler full of them, or just with a thick black line. This, obviously, renders this feature useless, as I can't tell the real position of the cursor. Here goes an example:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gmUCv.png" alt="Imagen"></p>
<p>Is there any way to fix this? Is it a video card driver problem or is it an Inkscape bug?</p>

23028 | 1 | 23037 | 2011-01-24T12:40:08.847 | 2 | 330 | <p>I created a persistent usb installation from a 10.10 live cd using the "<a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/" rel="nofollow">Boot Multiple ISO</a>" utility and their "PDL Casper-RW" creator. I really like it, have made several changes to the install, and now find myself using it on the go more than I expected to. I would like to add a password and force login to the default user to add a little security. Is there anything unique or special about the Live-CD environment that would prevent this or make it difficult. If not what is the easiest way to do it so as not to miss something and break my stick? </p>

I then have a full access to all the files in an ext4 file system, for example, and I easily can replace any file I want, be it program, DEB module, data or config.

Some are giving me more headache than others. </p>\n\n<p>Make sure you have a good backup of all data files you have on your computer internal hard disk before proceeding. I overwrote the boot record of my hard disk once, and it was once too many.

Because of its nature, a swap partition will cause too many read/writes on the USB key, which may shorten the lifetime of the key on this part of the storage area, eventually causing problems.</p>\n",

I've downloaded and installed the Google Talk plugin, and it acts like it knows what it's doing. But when I try to make calls, the internal laptop mic doesn't work at all (i.e., no one on the other end can hear me). In the GMail chat settings, I've tried selecting "Default Device" for the microphone, as well as "Internal Audio Analog Stereo." No matter which setting I try, none seem to work. </p>
<p>As I said at the top, this is only a problem in Ubuntu; it works just fine in OSX and Windows (which means that yes, my Google Voice account is properly configured). Here are my tech specs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ubuntu 10.10 </li>
<li>Kernel Linux 2.6.35-24-generic </li>
<li>Gnome 2.32.0 </li>
<li>Google Chrome 8.0.552.237 </li>
<li>Google Talk Plugin (google-talkplugin) 1.8.0.0-1 </li>
<li>MacBook (2,1) w/ internal microphone</li>

23082 | 1 | 23084 | 2011-01-24T17:47:32.527 | 1 | 1646 | <p>I had an issue with .ICEauthority which I think I just managed to solve. But for some reason the system is not able to decrypt my home folder. When I run ecryptfs-mount-private I get the message "You do not own that encrypted directory". How do I fix this?</p>
<p>I read that it should have something to do with .ecryptfs, so I did a chown alpha:alpha .ecryptfs.</p>
<pre><code>~/.ecryptfs$ ls -la

<p>Should I perhaps do a chown alpha:alpha on wrapped-passphrase too? </p>
<hr>
<p>More on my problem with .ICEauthority: Yesterday I installed veetle (but it never worked) and today when I started my computer the desktop never "loaded". I got the standard messages saying that .ICEauthority could not be updated, nautilus could not be started and 'There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)' [This was copied from internet, I do not know if the versions and status number make up but it was at least an error message involving gconf-sanity-check-2]. So I found that people had gotten the same problem when installing veetle so I assumed veetle was the cause of the problem. What I did was to remove vlc (because this should fix the issue, according to different threads). When removing vlc I got an ".ICEauthority" file (it was not there earlier) but still no desktop. This apparently was because of some permission issues so I ran chown alpha:alpha /home/alpha which made the trick - and here I am. HTH</p>
<p>Edit: I did actually a bit more than that, but it was mostly changing permissions here and there. For example, doing chmod 1777 /tmp (but those things never made the computer work). </p>
<hr>
<p>I created a new user and did ls -la /home/alpha:</p>

<p>I think the driver is installed fine, as i can see the blue led blinking on the netgear adapter, which was not blinking earlier. </p>
<ul>
<li>Can someone please guide me how to achieve this setup?</li>
<li>I will appreciate an example hostapd.conf file with a simple wpa_psk security
setup.</li>
<li>Please be detailed and descriptive with commands. How to run and end it. </li>
</ul>
<p>Following is output from lsmod, i have only pasted the entries which had ath and ath related info. Which driver shall i use.</p>

<p>How would I enable ACL? I have a question on <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/233438/user-permissions-on-ubuntu-linux/">Superuser</a> which resolved the problem I was trying to solve on a virtual machine running Ubuntu Server 10.10.</p>
<p><code>df -T</code> yields <code>/dev/simfs</code> of type <code>reiserfs</code> - What would I put in fstab to mount ACL for the file system? At the moment this file is blank.</p>
<p>after running <code>sudo mount -o remount,acl /</code> I get <code>mount:permission denied</code>. Any suggestions?</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
<p>Marked as solved as from all the research that I have done it's been concluded that I am unable to use ACL's on a VPS due to permissions.</p>

<p>I'm using <a href="http://lastpass.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LastPass</a> as my password manager, and I use <a href="http://lastpass.com/help.php?topic=sesame&nw=1&fromwebsite=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sesame</a> for multifactor authentication. On Windows this was no problem, but I alternate between Windows and Linux computers, so I need to have Sesame available for both cases.</p>
<p>On my laptop I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, and I downloaded the 32bit LastPass Sesame (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) and moved the files (an executable and a .bin) to my USB device. As instructed, I tried to run <code>chmod +x sesame</code> on the executable (whose name is <em>sesame</em>).</p>
<p>I tried this from the terminal window, but when doing an <code>ls -la</code> afterwards I noticed that the permissions on the file hadn't changed a bit. I tried doing the same adding <code>sudo</code> at the start, but that didn't make any difference either (and I didn't get any kind of error message or anything). I also tried doing it the "graphical" way, by right-clicking on the executable in Nautilus > Properties > Permissions, and trying to check off the <em>Allow executing file as program</em> check box - the checked marked only disappeared again after a second.</p>
<p>If I moved the same executable to my hard drive, it worked very fine to make it executable (and execute it).</p>
<p>I'm not really experienced with Linux, so I suspect I'm missing something obvious. Might it have something to do with the USB being fat32 (but I thought files on a fat32 partition should be executable by default?), and if so - what are my options?</p>
<p>And just to have said it: it works very fine to run the Windows version of Sesame using Wine, but it's a bit of a hassle (at least if I need it somewhere Wine isn't already installed).</p>

I'm using a fresh install (not an upgrade) of Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have 4 NICs on the same subnet (two intended for each of my two VMs). I'm trying to achieve the setup that <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835732&page=2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Uthark describes here</a>.</p>
<p>But following his guidelines didn't work for me. My eth0 and eth1 did not come up, and "brctl show" showed that br0 didn't have any interfaces (the bond). I assumed it didn't work because he's using 10.4, and this article says there's a recent change in bonding:</p>
<p>[I can't post more than one hyperlink per post because I'm a newbie.]</p>
<p>I had to use this article to get my interfaces to work at all on the same subnet, which is why I have the post-up lines on some of my interfaces:</p>
<p>[I can't post more than one hyperlink per post because I'm a newbie.]</p>
<p>I installed ifenslave and ethtool. I also created <code>/etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf</code> with the following content:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>alias bond0 bonding<br />
options bonding mode=6 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And I included "bonding" in <code>/etc/modules</code></p>
<p>So, after several approaches, here is my latest interfaces file:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>auto lo<br />
iface lo inet loopback</p>
<p>auto eth5<br />
iface eth5 inet manual</p>
<p>auto br5<br />

</blockquote>
<p>eth2, eth5, br2, and br5 all seem to be working fine.</p>
<p>The only other thing I could find that looked suspicious is an error regarding bonding in <code>/var/log/messages</code>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>kernel: [ 3.828684] bonding: Warning: either miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target module parameters must be specified, otherwise bonding will not detect link failures! see bonding.txt for details.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>even though there is a bond-miimon line in <code>/etc/network/interfaces</code> (if that's what they're talking about).</p>
<p>Also, the bond seems to go in and out of promiscuous mode several times on boot:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Jan 20 14:19:02 kvmhost kernel: [ 3.902378] device bond0 entered promiscuous mode<br />

</blockquote>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It seems that this must be possible, based on other posts, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

23113 | 1 | 23118 | 2011-01-24T22:11:10.233 | 7 | 6677 | <p>Hi i just discoverd ubuntu upstart (etc/init/* scripts).
And i would like to use it to run a particular application.
This app is run via a command line, but there is an argument to start an instance of the app and another argument to stop it (let say 'start' and 'stop')
Is there a way to use upstart for that ??</p>

I've been installed 10.04, and updated, but this strange stuff is happend. Graphical installion failed, same strange thing. With alternate workd.</p>
<p>Sometimes, when I boot up, a boot message displayed: <em>Keyboard failure...</em>, often diplayed after reboot, and after shutdown, when I haven't plugged off from AC. I replaced the keyboard yet, same failure... If I powered off, and plugged off from AC, no keyboard problems displayed in boot time.</p>

<p>I know, that is not enough, but I have three other Nec compuers, with nearly similar config, and they works well with 9.10, 10.04, 10.10.</p>
<p><strong>Live CDs</strong></p>
<p>I've been tried with 10.04 and 10.10, but the problem is displayed too. With 9.10 no strange things displayed, but it froze, during a simple apt-get install.</p>

<p>An error loop is logged here, but I paste the whole startup and error lines.
The flashing lines are displayed sometimes immediately after login, but sometimes after 10 minutes, but once occured, that nothing happend.</p>

<p>I can confirm that the variables are set correctly when checking in a shell. Most programs respect this setting and use my proxy. Firefox, however, does not. When I open its network connection settings dialog, however, it is pre-set to "use system settings" for the proxy. </p>
<p>What does Firefox expect here? A differently-named variable? Can I set something in FF's prefs.js?</p>

Support is already built into the app for both operating systems - there's <code>etoys.sh</code> for Ubuntu and <code>etoys.exe</code> for Windows. I decided to install onto a FAT drive since that can be read from both systems. This works fine for Windows, but for some reason I cannot execute etoys.sh on Ubuntu.</p>
<p>The problem is not with the file - when the whole folder is copied to the local hard drive, the app works great in Ubuntu. But when I try to execute it from the USB, it opens the file in a text editor.</p>
<p>I then tried to run it from a terminal, but I got the message <strong>Permission denied.</strong></p>
<p>I've had the same problem with other executables as well.</p>
<p>Is there an easy way to execute things from a USB stick?</p>

None of them speak about increasing the size of /root disk space(or root.disk). I store all files in space shared with windows or external disk and use ubuntu only to install and use softwares and browsing.
So how do increase the available space for installing more softwares?</p>

23200 | 1 | 23639 | 2011-01-25T12:04:46.113 | 4 | 777 | <p>I've renamed this to reflect what I've learned. The details below track the issue.</p>
<p><strong>ORIGINAL POST:</strong></p>
<p>I'm trying to install a set of OpenType Helvetica fonts. The font installation is failing because the "Thin" fonts are described in the font properties as "Light", triggering a "this font is already installed on your system" error.</p>
<ol>
<li>When I open either font in KFontView, the font name is "Helvetica, Light".</li>
<li>When I click on File Properties and go to the "Information" tag, the "Font.Weight" is "Light" for both fonts.</li>
<li>When I open up the fonts in FontForge, the Thin font says "Thin" and the Light font says "Light".</li>
<li>When I save the thin font as an sfd file from FontForge and open it in Kate, the string "Light" can't be found.</li>
<li>When I open up the thin font binary (oft) in Kate the string "Light" can't be found.</li>
</ol>
<p>I'm pretty sure I want to change the font.weight property of the Thin files to be "Thin" so that a) I can install them and b) their metadata will be correct. But for the life of me I can't figure out where the font properties on the properties dialog are even stored; much less how to change them.</p>
<p>The only potential solution I've come up with so far (and I haven't tried it) is to install the Thin fonts, go into the font-config database to correct the names, and then install the Light fonts. Aside from being a PITA and presumably losing my changes if I have to reinstall the fonts, this just seems like a Bad Idea.</p>
<p>I'm happy to provide more information as requested.</p>
<p><strong>REVISION (27 JAN 2010)</strong></p>
<p>Additional information:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>This is strictly a Qt or KDE issue. Moving the fonts into /usr/local/share/fonts and then calling "fc-cache" installs the fonts just fine. These fonts still don't appear in the KDE Font Installer, however.</p></li>
<li><p>Looking (lightly) at the source code, the font metadata that is messing up KDE is possibly stored in the UDS. There are too many generic terms for Google to be much help; so I'm not sure if the UDS is owned by the filesystem (ext3), the Qt toolkit, or (not likely) by KDE.</p></li>
<li><p>KMail treats fonts like MS Office on Windows. It hides all but the font family from the user and expects to find just bold, italic, and bold italic styles. It's not much use for testing this issue.</p></li>
<li><p>OpenOffice is better in that it shows the font families in the toolbar but shows all the styles in the text properties dialog. Unfortunately this code appears to be buggy; changing the style to anything other than the basic bold and italic didn't work.</p></li>
<li><p>Scribus treats fonts properly. After running fc-cache Scribus worked perfectly.</p></li>
</ol>

23224 | 1 | null | 2011-01-25T15:13:45.913 | 5 | 10041 | <p>Hey,
I have some weird problem with the rc.local file which is located in <code>/etc/rc.local</code> the thing is that it is not always running when I boot up the laptop. Maybe every second time, I haven't counted. Anyway when that happens I have to manually go to terminal and type <code>sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start</code>, which kinda kills the purpose of having this script. Anyone know what the problem could be?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>Since this wasn't obvious. This is an issue where I make a fresh boot up. Which mean I have shut down the computer. And next time when I boot up the computer, the rc.local file is randomly deciding whether it will automatically start or not.</p>
<p>Here's a copy of what my rc.local file contains</p>
<pre><code>echo -n 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity
echo level 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
touch /home/starcorn/Desktop/foo
rfkill block bluetooth
exit 0
</code></pre>

<p>However, I have little trouble with the ./debian/changelog file. I need to fill it in with a distribution name <em>([package name] ([version]) [<strong>distribution</strong>]; [urgency])</em>. Let's say I put "maverick" there. Then I request a build using the recipe. I choose to build it both for maverick and natty. As the result, the natty package in tha PPA will have it's "distribution" field set to "maverick", which looks invalid (actually, it seems only the changelog will have this incorrect information, but I got aware of that fact, when the notification e-mail I got stated my package was released for natty, but it also said: "Distribution: maverick").</p>
<p>It this OK? I am not even sure whether it is incorrect, but if it is, then how do I use the recipe, to build a package for many ubuntu series, using one changelog file?</p>

23233 | 1 | 23242 | 2011-01-25T16:32:16.863 | 4 | 7346 | <p>I have a 60Gb drive in a Dell Latitude D600. It all started with trying to install 10.10 as a dual boot. First installation failed at the partitioning stage, next I tried manual partition that also failed. I finally went to Gparted LiveCD to see what I could do. </p>
<p>It allows me to shrink the NTFS, create a swap partition, create a partition in the remaining space. If however I try to format the empty partition as ext3 or ext4 it fails, the drive disappears from Gparted and I have to reboot. When I come back in, the blank space is there with no file system. </p>
<p>If I try to format the new partition in NTFS or Fat32 (as a test) it works fine and Windows can see it. </p>
<p>I even tried creating a FAT32 partition, doing and Ubuntu install to that disk, allocating almost all of it to Ubuntu (thinking I could use the small remainder as a shared disk), it started the install but failed after several minutes of copying with a warning about can not fsync (something) and something about RW problems. </p>
<p>(clarification because based on comments I thoroughly confused the issue, I didn't actually try to install to the FAT32, I just thought that it was odd that Gparted was successful in creating it, so kept the FAT32 which I thought was ok then let the installer shrink it and do whatever it wanted which was of course creating a ext4 beside the shrunken partition. This was an academic exercise since nothing was working anyway and thank all for pointing out my mistaken wording)</p>
<p>At this point I can't install Ubuntu because there seems to be now way to create a suitable partition.</p>

<p>However, avahi does not seem to perform reverse lookups for the IP addresses of computers on the local network. So when applications look up IP addresses for local computers, a request goes out to an Internet DNS server on the Internet which returns NXDOMAIN (name does not exist).</p>

23311 | 1 | 23324 | 2011-01-26T07:46:16.230 | 11 | 5877 | <p>I am using Ubuntu as desktop and server OS.
When I am logged in to the server via <code>ssh</code> on <code>terminal</code> and have to view a web-page (localhost) on the server I use w3m (<code>w3m localhost</code>).</p>
<p>Unfortunately w3m is not that easy to handle, as the page has some big menus and uses jQuery. So I am wondering if it is possible to use a browser on my Desktop to connect to the server via SSH with a real browser (Firefox or Chrome).</p>
<p>Basically it would require to connect with a browser on my desktop to the server over SSH with <code>username</code> and <code>password</code>, and open on that server <code>localhost</code>.</p>
<p>Is this possible by default, or are there any add-ons for Firefox/Chrome? I would prefer Firefox.</p>

So I think it is better for me to switch to the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.</p>
