26703 | 1 | null | 2011-02-16T22:46:18.733 | 2 | 1172 | <p>I created an APT repository using deb-scanpackages, and it seemed to go well.</p>
<p>When I did a <code>apt-get update</code> on another server, the Packages.gz file was retrieved, and all seemed well - until I went to search for the packages contained in that repository (all packages are created locally).</p>
<p>Several recommendations suggested <code>reprepro</code>; I tried that. Same result - except I had to rebuild the packages with the <em>Priority</em> and <em>Section</em> lines in the control file (nothing says this anywhere). The reprepro utility also generates a complicated directory structure which required rewriting the repository entry on the requesting server.</p>
<p>I then found that the arch directory referenced i386 and not amd64 (which was requested by the requesting server).</p>
<p>Is it possible that the AMD64 system isn't seeing packages compiled for i386? Searching the *Packages files in /var/lib/apt/lists show that the only packages for i386 are those I added (the other files are for the server - Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS).</p>
<p>The server the packages were built on is Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS i686; the requesting server is x86_64.</p>
<p>I found some discussion at the <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAMD64Faq" rel="nofollow">Debian AMD64FAQ</a> but it claims to be obsolete. It makes mention of an extended syntax for repository listings for APT, and a command dpkg-subarchitecture - neither of which work on the local AMD64 server.</p>
<p>Do I have to build two different sets of packages?</p>

26710 | 1 | 26719 | 2011-02-16T23:54:27.883 | 3 | 318 | <p>I am looking for a music player with a few specific requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>Must have a search function that whittles down results as you type, searching the entire library.</li>
<li>Must start playing a song when double clicked, and not continue to another song when that song finishes.</li>
<li>Must be approachable and immediately usable by people completely unfamiliar with the program. I think this is mostly covered by the first two requirements being met.</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>I've tried many players but unfortunately every one has failed to meet at least one of the requirements.</p>
<p>Rhythmbox meets 1 and 3, but continues to the next search result after the song which was double clicked ends.</p>
<p>Banshee is basically the same as Rhythmbox. While it has an option to "Stop when finished" this cannot (as far as I can tell) be made the default when double clicking a song.</p>
<p>Audacious (as far as I can tell) fails at 1.</p>
<p>Muine meets requirements 1 and 2, but unfortunately I couldn't make the search dialog always shown like it is with Rhythmbox / Banshee which, despite its very simple interface, made Muine incomprehensible to people trying to use it for the first time.</p>
<p>Amarok I could not configure to meet requirement 1, but I think it's likely I was just missing something, and with its configurability I'm confident that I can set it up to meet requirements 2 and 3.</p>

<p>But when I click the item in the menu of Applications, the Matlab icon shows up for a few seconds and then nothing else happens.</p>
<p>If I select the type to be "Application in Terminal", then in the last step of adding Matlab to the Applications Menu, after I click the item in the menu of Applications, there will be firstly a terminal window and then the Matlab command window.</p>

If you only need the font for a single user account, you can simply drag-and-drop the font into the <code>~/.fonts/</code> folder. If you can't find a <code>~/.fonts/</code> folder, no problem! Just use <code>mkdir ~/.fonts</code> to create it.</p>\n\n<p>Once you've put your font(s) in the correct folder, open up a terminal and type:</p>\n\n<p><code>sudo fc-cache -f -v</code></p>\n\n<p>This updates your font cache, and now your new fonts should be usable!</p>\n",

<p>Is it possible to put these two directories on a single separate partition, preferably without using soft-links? Following a soft-link requires path resolution, so I don't think it's a good idea to soft-link commonly-accessed top-level directories.</p>

But I think, /opt and /usr/local is not so much used on a standard Ubuntu install, /usr/local is used more for your own stuffs you compile from source (this is not the correct definition but usually this is the case), while /opt is used for \"optional\" softwares. But not so much softwares are installed there normally on Ubuntu, maybe some Google softwares for example, if I want to find an example. Anyway, even if these directories are heavily used, I wouldn't say that a symlink would mean lots of differencies, I would not worry if I were you.</p>\n\n<p>You have another choice as well. Let's say you have a separated filesystem for /opt and /usr/local, for example /dev/sda6. Mount it as /opt. Create a directory inside /opt, let's say it's usrlocal.

I am using both Chromium and Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10. While Firefox works fine, Chromium gives Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) for all sites except Google searches, i.e. if I type anything in the smart-search bar of Chrome, I get the search results. But if I try to open www.google.com or any other site, I get the error.
Chrome suddenly started giving this error. It was working fine the previous day.
I am not under any proxy. Firefox and Chrome on Windows are also working fine.
Please help.</p>

26793 | 1 | null | 2011-02-17T12:18:49.560 | 6 | 6386 | <p>I'm using a VPN when I'm online at an unencrypted wifi. Unfortunately, at my university the connection is quite unstable and at every reconnect the VPN connection is terminated and I manually need to reconnect to it using the NetworkManager, which obviously only works if I notice the reconnect. I enabled the option to automatically connect to the VPN in the NM options, but it seems to have no effect.</p>
<p>Is there a way to enforce an active VPN connection before any other application can access the network connection so I can be sure not to send private data over unencrypted connections?</p>
<p>Cheers,
Pascal</p>

26802 | 1 | 101687 | 2011-02-17T13:20:12.517 | 3 | 2538 | <p>First of all, the audio used to play from the speaker but whenever I connected a headphone or speaker in the I, the sound didn't came. So I installed a realtek sound driver to fix this (actually I didn't find any relevant driver for my sound card so I installed it hoping it would show some light)</p>
<p>When I rebooted the system, my sound is completely gone and now ubuntu does not detect any sound devices in my system. I clearly installed wrong driver, now I need to remove and go to previous stage and find a correct driver.</p>
<p>I downloaded the latest package from realtek website, extracted the tar.gz file and ran the install file inside the extracted directory from the terminal using command <code>sudo ./install</code></p>
<p>My laptop is: Dell Studio 1747, uses a speaker Creative Labs Sound X-Fi MB Sound Blaster and the chipset is INTEL PM55.</p>
<p>How can I fix this?</p>

<p>Basically, I would prefer if there was a 1 second delay between each iteration. The reason is that at each iterations, it sends the program file <code>mycomputation"${i}$.pbs</code> to a core node for solving. The motivation is that solving in this instance involves the use of pseudo random numbers and the RNG I use (R's) uses CPU time as seed.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm developing a windows application in ubuntu. Everything is fine. The only problem is that every web call I perform with <code>wininet.dll</code> is sent to localhost instead of target server.</p>
<p>I have no idea what's the problem and how to force wininet.dll to resolve domain name correctly.</p>
<p>I also created the hosts file in <code>~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts</code> and set domains and IPs manually; but did not help.</p>
<p>Any idea?</p>

<li>I created the files on an old ubuntu installation.</li>
<li>Ive copied the files into my new ubuntu installation and put them in my webroot.</li>
<li>When i attempt to run the files (theyre PHP files) i get an error relating to permissions</li>
</ul>
<p>in an attempt to fix this, i assumed that they must still be owned by the previous owner, so i ran <code>chown -R</code> on the directory, with my username as an argument, in order to take ownership of all of the files in the directory. It should be noted that the usernames between new and old ubuntu installations were the same. </p>
<p>When i attempt to run the files again, same problem: 500 error due to permissions problems. Can anyone tell me what other steps i should take?</p>
<p>The webroot for my apache installation is inside my home folder. If i create new files in my webroot, they also work as expected, its only the old files that are causing the problem.</p>

26849 | 1 | 26857 | 2011-02-17T18:19:10.293 | 3 | 272 | <p>I know the title is confusing, because honestly it is hard to find the correct title. What I am asking is basically, in light of unity, ubuntu-one and other such projects, is Canonical/The Ubuntu Development team (correct me about the proper title :P) planning on more original software?</p>
<p>For instance, Ubuntu is quickly becoming a strong ecosystem of it's own, but has to rely on a lot 3rd party software in various areas, which is fine (I love that), but sometimes this software has major shortcomings that Ubuntu inherits. Programs like Skype, (sorry I can find any other off hand examples) miss out in major areas, such as proper desktop integration. If Ubuntu has it's own client side software, then it could be better integrated and more appealing.</p>
<p>Another example is backup. Ubuntu One is great for that, and getting better, but for example, Deja Dup is not installed be default, and even if it was, misses some integration features on Ubuntu (and will in the future as the ecosystem becomes more unique). This could be used as the basis for built in backup software of course, just with better integration with Ubuntu.</p>
<p>In a nutshell then,</p>
<ul>
<li>Is there some kind of roadmap/blueprint governing the direction Ubuntu will take in the future regarding such software?</li>
<li>How is Canonical planning to engage the community in the process of developing Ubuntu's wider software identity?</li>
</ul>
<p>(Sorry if my question seems confusing/like_a_rant/mixed_up)</p>

26851 | 1 | 26877 | 2011-02-17T18:24:35.750 | 7 | 3297 | <p>I've just got my first 64-bit-capable laptop (previously I've only dealt with 64-bit on servers). Of course the first thing I am going to do is to format the hard drive and install Ubuntu instead of Vista, and the question is should I install 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?</p>
<p>Here are the details which can matter:</p>
<p>CPU: Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, RAM: 3.45 GB. I am going to intensively use multitasking, virtualization (VirtualBox) and run memory-heavy Java, C# and native applications.</p>
<p>I ask because my experience shows that 32-bit desktop systems usually work faster and consume less memory. And as far as I know (have read somewhere, never tried myself) 64-bit Java is known to be extremely RAM-wasting compared to 32-bit JRE.</p>

Thunderbird web links should be opened with opera from now. For that I went in Thunderbird to Preferences->Advanced->General->Config Editor and set the following: </p>
<pre><code>network.protocol-handler.app.http -> /usr/bin/opera
network.protocol-handler.app.https -> /usr/bin/opera
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp -> true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http -> true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https -> true
</code></pre>
<p>Moreover I changed in Gnome in System->Preferences->Preferred Applications Opera as web browser and I checked in FF that it should warn if FF is not the default browser (obviously it isn't anymore).<br>
Unfortunately all of these settings doesn't work. Thunderbird still opens web links with FF.<br>
Any explanations why? (I already restarted Thunderbird although I don't have to, but no effect)</p>

It would be nice if I could play some games (like HalfLife 2, StarCraft 2, Fallout 3) from time to time (while I am ok using lo-fi settings and having low performance) but as I strongly prefer Ubuntu environment and don't need Windows usually I'd like to install Windows inside VirtualBox instead of using a dedicated partition and dual-boot. So the question is if VirtualBox can use 3D acceleration of Intel GMA X4500HD if run on Ubuntu.</p>

26870 | 1 | 27735 | 2011-02-17T19:30:04.817 | 8 | 5977 | <p>When I connect to a VPN, all my network traffic is automatically routed through it. Is there a way to add exemptions to that? I don't know if adding exceptions has anything to do with the VPN protocol, but the VPN I'm using is of the OpenVPN protocol.</p>
<p>Speaking of OpenVPN, why is it not installed by default on Ubuntu installs, unlike PPTP?</p>
<p>I could not get the list of IRCHighWay's servers, and this is the result I get trying to connect on XChat with running the bash script running:</p>
<pre><code>* Looking up irc.irchighway.net
* Connecting to irc.irchighway.net (65.23.153.98) port 6667...
* Connected. Now logging in...
* You have been K-Lined.
* *** You are not welcome on this network.
* *** K-Lined for Open proxies are not allowed. (2011/02/26 01.21)
* *** Your IP is 173.0.14.9
* *** For assistance, please email banned@irchighway.net and include everything shown here.
* Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (Open proxies are not allowed. (2011/02/26 01.21))
* Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).
</code></pre>
<p>The IP 173.0.14.9 is the one due to my VPN. I had forgotten to check <code>ip route list</code> before running the script, and this is the one after running it:</p>
<pre><code>~$ ip route list
99.192.193.241 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 173.0.14.9
173.0.14.2 via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 proto static
173.0.14.2 via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 src 192.168.1.3
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.3 metric 2
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link metric 1000
default dev ppp0 proto static
</code></pre>
<p>Oh and running the script returned this output:</p>
<pre><code>~$ sudo bash irc_route.sh
Usage: inet_route [-vF] del {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [gw Gw] [metric M] [[dev] If]
inet_route [-vF] add {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [gw Gw] [metric M]

inet_route [-vF] add {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [metric M] reject
inet_route [-FC] flush NOT supported
</code></pre>
<p>I ran the script after connecting to the VPN.</p>

You need to start by finding out the stucture of the page you're submitting to. You need to find where you form comes and what fields need to be entered to submit. Once you know that, it's really as simple as just writing a quick little form parser and submitter. Mechanize does all the heavy lifting. Here's a quick example adapted from <a href=\"http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/forms.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">their docs on forms</a>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>import sys\nfrom mechanize import ParseResponse, urlopen, urljoin\n\n# replace this with the actual login page\n# you'll need to do some research\nuri = \"http://theloginpage.com/\"\n\nresponse = urlopen(uri)\nforms = ParseResponse(response, backwards_compat=False)\nform = forms[0]\nprint form\nform[\"username\"] = \"your username\"\nform[\"username\"] = \"password\"\n\n# form.click() returns a mechanize.Request object\n# (see HTMLForm.click.__doc__ if you want to use only the forms support, and\n# not the rest of mechanize)\nprint urlopen(form.click()).read()\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Depending on how their system works, this might be enough. You might have to tie in some cookie jarring to keep a session alive while they turn the connection on, but technically speaking, there's no argument why they should require that.</p>\n\n<p>Then you just need to tie this into the networking system so it gets called. Loading it from <code>/etc/network/if-up.d</code> should work but I suggest you prefix your code with a check to make sure you're really on the hotspot that your login works for.</p>\n",

26886 | 1 | 26936 | 2011-02-17T20:33:33.990 | 11 | 51111 | <p>I just did an installation from the 10.10 Desktop LiveCD, making the root volume an LVM LV.</p>
<p>Apparently this is not supported; I managed it by taking these steps before starting the GUI installer app:</p>
<ul>
<li>installing the <code>lvm2</code> package on the running system</li>
<li>creating an LVM-type partition on the system hard drive</li>
<li>creating a physical volume, a volume group and a root LV using the LVM tools. I also created a second LV for <code>/var</code>; this I don't think is relevant.</li>
<li>creating a filesystem (ext4) on each of the two LVs.</li>
</ul>
<p>After taking these steps, the GUI installer offered the two LVs as installation targets; I gladly accepted, also putting <code>/boot</code> on a primary partition separate from the LVM partition.</p>
<p>Installation seemed to go smoothly, and I've verified that both the root and var volumes do contain acceptable-looking directory structures.</p>
<p>However, booting fails; if I understood correctly what happened, I was dropped into a busybox running in the initrd filesystem.</p>
<p>Although I haven't worked through the entirety of the grub2 docs yet, it looks like the entry that tries to boot my new system is correct:</p>
<pre><code>menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set $UUID_OF_BOOT_FILESYSTEM
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=/dev/mapper/$LVM_VOLUME_GROUP-root ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
}
</code></pre>
<p><em>Note</em> that $VARS are replaced in the actual <code>grub.cfg</code> with their corresponding values.</p>
<p>I rebooted back into the livecd and have unpacked the initrd image into a temp directory. It looks like the initrd image lacks LVM functionality. For example, if I'm reading <code>/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2</code> (installed with <code>lvm2</code> on the livecd-booted system, not present on the installed one) correctly, an <code>lvm</code> executable should be situated in <code>/sbin</code>; that is not the case.</p>
<p>What's the best way to remedy this situation? I realize that it would be easier to just use the alternate install CD, which apparently supports LVM, but I don't want to wait for it to download and then have to reinstall.</p>

I hooked it up properly, and tried using it. It worked when switching from the win7 machine to the ubuntu one, but after the (1st and only) successful switch, ubuntu just didn't seem to recognize my mouse or keyboard.</p>
<p>Basically when I tried it the easiest was to explain what happened was it only worked with Win7. When I switched over to ubuntu by doing a [scroll-lock] [scroll-lock], my keyboard and mouse were not recognized. However, the lights on the keyboard and mouse did work when on ubuntu, but they didn't function, and since keyboard wouldn't function, I couldn't do a [scroll-lock] [scroll-lock] to switch back to the win7 machine. So I was basically locked in to ubuntu with no mouse or keyboard, and I had to unplug the keyboard/mouse USB's and d-sub to plug the monitor d-sub back into win7 computer to type up this thread and google the issue. Seems some people have had this issue before but I couldn't find a fix... </p>
<p>I am 80% sure it has to do with drivers... <em>but there isn't any for KVM switches, at least not this one</em> also I never was unable to find ubuntu drivers/firmware for my mouse and keyboard (Logitech G15 and Razer Deathadder 3500). I don't know how to fix this, perhaps someone super-savvy could write/code a script or work-around or something? I really need to get this thing working, my back is getting sore from bending over and plugging in / unplugging USB/monitor/USB/monitor/USB/USB over and over again lol... And I really would be sad if the constant plugging unplugging of the USB's or the d-sub port would over time damage the ports... I don't want that... </p>
<p>There has to be some way to get this working...
Can anyone help?</p>

26911 | 1 | 26924 | 2011-02-18T00:22:31.120 | 4 | 11643 | <p><em>Background</em></p>
<p>I have a Squeezebox, and am running the Server on my (Natty) machine. This server scans my music directory and adds all files found therein to the server's library, to be streamed over the network to the devices.</p>
<p><em>Problem</em></p>
<p>There's a problem though — not all of my files are recognised due to the server's tag parser being buggy. I've filed a bug upstream about this.</p>
<p><em>Question</em></p>
<p>To fix this problem, I'd like to erase and rewrite the ID3 tags on my MP3s. Ideally I don't want any of the tags to change. Do you know of a program or script which can do this? Somehow iterate over all of my files and save their metadata, then erase it from the file leaving just the audio before writing it back. I'm trying to avoid writing a script to do this myself (although I will do if nobody knows a program/can come up with one). Hopefully this clean rewrite will then be accepted by the server. If not, well, at least we tried.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I'm in a plan to upgrade ubuntu 8.10 vbox vm servers to LTS(obviously 10.04) as 8.10 has no support. As far as I know I'll be executing the following to upgrade:</p>
<pre><code>apt-get install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade
</code></pre>
<p>anybody could tell me how could I upgrade a ubuntu server from alternate iso image(Is the alternate iso image used for desktop editons the same used for servers?)?</p>
<p>I heard it's possible to upgrade an LTS directly to another LTS and how could I do this after upgrading 8.10 to 9.04 then directly to 10.04 skipping 9.10?</p>
<p>8.10 servers are hosting many services/applications/databases like apache2, tomcat6, ldap, mysql, cvs... and I'm not sure that all of them work as ever after the upgrade.
If there is any precautions that I've to following before upgrading, please anyone let me know(ofcourse backup and I'm not going to take backup as I will be trying this on a copy of vdi/vmdk vms)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

26947 | 1 | null | 2011-02-18T07:16:52.257 | 0 | 2248 | <p>I have installed lucid on my Lenevo Laptop (Y 410 series , x86 platform) and it is working fine. Now I have compiled kernel 2.6.37 downloaded from the kernel tree. I followed usual procedure of compiling kernel (<code>make menuconfig</code>, <code>make</code>, <code>make modules</code> etc). Then I created the initrd image using <code>mkinitramfs</code> and updated my grub using <code>update-grub</code> command.</p>
<p><code>update-grub</code> detects the initrd image of the compiled kernel. However when I boot from this kernel it gives me following error:</p>
<pre><code>Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! root=UUID=/... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.19.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.3-7ubuntu1.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a lost of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
</code></pre>
<p>and then it falls onto initramfs prompt.</p>
<p>I have tried following solutions discussed in different Ubuntu forums:</p>
<ol>
<li>disable uuid and point root=/dev/sda8 (sda8 is where my kernel image resides (both default kernel and compiled one) from /etc/default/grub</li>
<li>compile kernel using CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435968" rel="nofollow" title="suggested here">suggested here</a>
Still I am unable to boot from the compile kernel.</li>
</ol>
<p>Could someone please suggest me the solution?</p>

<p>For example I scoured through the official tutorial and documentation of Python and I was good to go.I could write useful applications.
Is there any equivalent for Ubuntu or unity? I tried downloading the alpha 2,put kept crashing every 5 minute. I was told in IRC,it was due to some Xorg stack change.</p>
<p>Now I cant even look at new Unity,let alone help develop it. </p>

26979 | 1 | null | 2011-02-18T11:19:36.733 | 7 | 745 | <p>First Unity was developed for Netbooks. But the Netbook Market is shrinking. Unity is not specialized for tablet pcs like Android 3, but it may work well with some specialized Apps for those devices.</p>
<p>Unity is still nice for Notebooks with small displays, but there is no big advantage on the desktop compared with other desktop environments like Gnome 2/3 or KDE.</p>
<p>So what's the point? </p>
<p>My first suggenstion was a hybrid between tablet pc and a desktop, for example for a manager. He can plug the tablet in a docking station in his office and he can work at a normal desktop, whats not possible with iOS or Android. </p>
<p>If he is in a meeting he can use it as a tablet to make notes, for example. Or if he is somewhere else outside the office or the company. </p>
<p>Same for normal users. They can dock the tablet and use it like a normal desktop pc or they can lie on the couch and browse in the web, read a book or chat with friend.</p>
<p>So, thats my suggestion. But what is the real plan for Unity or Ubuntu in general? I'm curious ;)</p>

<p>Well, the question title says it all. Are there any benefits of creating a separate directory for /boot. Is there any kind of grub/any-other-bootloader crash that can corrupt the partition it is installed on? or any dual-boot scenarios where having separate /boot partition can save me?</p>

I have followed the instructions <a href="http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-a-line6-guitarport-or-toneport-ux1-or-gx.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and it worked. </p>
<p>But at some point I upgraded my kernel version (not sure what <code>uname -a</code> prints but it's related) and it stopped working.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I figured out that maybe it's installed per version so I used <code>svn update</code> and hit <code>make</code> again. My guess was right as it copied the relevant files to the new version's folder.
I restarted and still nothing.<br>
Should I revert to an older version? Or is there a solution here?</p>

Point with default values is to prevent trivial (accidental) denial of services. There is also global limit for number of open files:</p>\n\n<pre><code>cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>You can change that number by running for example</p>\n\n<pre><code>echo 100000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(with user root, obviously). Even better is to also add line <code>fs.file-max = 10000</code> to <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code> to load same setting after reboot.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>As of ulimit: it's safe to increase that number. However, number of open files should not exceed global file-max, because then opening new files is not possible anymore (and for example logging in requires opening files).</p>\n\n<p>If there is multiple users, remember that if you change the default, everyone can open more files. For example 30 users * 5000 files = 150 000 open files (assuming that everyone opens maximum number of files, and uses only single session). If you have some really resource hungry (as in opens really many files) software used by multiple users, it might be a problem.</p>\n",

27019 | 1 | 27030 | 2011-02-18T18:31:34.930 | 6 | 6500 | <p>So I'm noticing some severely incorrect behavior from calls to standard library functions inside GDB. I have the following program to illustrate:</p>
<pre><code>#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *s1 = "test";
char *s2 = calloc(strlen("test")+1,sizeof(char));
snprintf(s2,strlen("test")+1,"test");
printf("string constant: %lu\n", strlen(s1));
printf("allocated string: %lu\n", strlen(s2));
free(s2);
return 0;
}
</code></pre>
<p>When run from the command-line, this program outputs just what you'd expect:</p>
<pre><code>string constant: 4
allocated string: 4
</code></pre>
<p>However, in GDB, I get the following, incorrect output from calls to strlen():</p>
<pre><code>(gdb) p strlen(s1)
$1 = -938856896
(gdb) p strlen(s2)
$2 = -938856896
</code></pre>
<p>I'm pretty sure this is a problem with glibc shipped with Ubuntu (I'm using 10.10), but this is a serious problem for those of us who spend lots of time in GDB. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is anyone else experiencing this kind of error?</p></li>
<li><p>What's the best way to fix it? Build glibc from source? (I'm already running a version of GDB built from source)</p></li>

<p>To illuminate this with an example: when writing code that uses % as the symbol for a comment, I want to be able to position the cursor at the start of a range of lines I want to comment out, then hit <kbd>CapsLock</kbd>, then iteratively hit the <kbd>5</kbd> key (using QWERTZ, <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>5</kbd> gives %) and the arrow down key, so that I can quickly place a % at the start of the lines. </p>
<p>Ubuntu in default configuration takes CapsLock literally, so that it affects only alphabetic keys. Under Preferences/Keyboard/Layout/Options I can make it act as a pressed <kbd>Shift</kbd>, but then the action of the arrow keys is to select text. All the other options available are equivalent to one of these two in my case.</p>
<p>Is it possible to somehow get this behaviour? This is standard in Windows.</p>
<p>Edit: @Mikel: I use English language with German keyboard layout. Yes, by googling I found out about this Belgian problem and the fix, but I hoped that there was an easier way, as I just want the Windows behaviour. Let's see whether I get it to work.</p>

27050 | 1 | 27058 | 2011-02-18T22:55:04.340 | 2 | 5834 | <p>I have a txt-file one of my user's homedir which is regularly updated there by a script.
I now want to be able to access (read) this file from the web.</p>
<pre><code>/home/user/folder/file.txt
</code></pre>
<p>So what I tried now is to log in as root, go into my webservers httpdocs folder</p>
<pre><code>/var/www/path/to/domain/httpdocs
</code></pre>
<p>and there I tried to create a symbolic link with</p>
<pre><code>ln -s /home/user/foler/file.txt /var/www/path/to/domain/httpdocs/file.txt
</code></pre>
<p>But this didn't work... I already tried changing the chmod of the symlink (which changes the ones from the original file of course) and also a chown to the user from webserver, but no matter what I tried I cannot open the file from the web or from a php-script (which is what I want to do)</p>
<p>Can anybody help me and tell me what I need to do? What rights do I need to give? Or is there another way of achieving this?</p>
