I know variants of this question have been asked before, but I couldn't find a specific answer to my situation. So here goes:
Running ubuntu server 12.04 with the os on a separate drive and two 1,5 TB WD Green drives (sdc and sdd). The 2 WD greens make up a volume group using all the available ...
oh, and you might end up having to change some configuration settings. OwnCloud tries to automatically detect the URL, but it may fail in some cases, there is details in the sample config file about it in the rare case that happens though (ie, if links on the site still end up going to the wrong place)
you may also have to update your host-header information on your webserver when you get a DNS record for it
their site will walk you through it better than I can
basically a URL like cloud.ajhenderson.com is just a query made to the server responsible for ajhenderson.com (which is my server since I own the domain) and then your browser uses the IP address that DNS gives it to access it
I'm new to ubuntu and I need your help with this,
As you know when you install apache you put the internal ip address in your browser and you get it works, I want as well to access it from somewhere else beside my local network how do I do that ?
If I ssh into an Ubuntu machine and run telnet localhost 4730 I see:
me@ip-10-xx-xxx-30:~$ telnet localhost 4730
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
But ctrl + ] does not work from a terminal on Mountain Lion. How can I resolve this?
@JorgeCastro I really disagree. That is exactly the problem that so many of us have with what the Gnome devs have been doing. ONe of the best things about Linux and one not found on other OSs is that I can set things up to be the way I want them. Yes, this can be a problem for new users but those of us who have been using it for years should still be able to mod it as desired.
There are words that are so bad in the titles that I want to puke and that is used and abused in all our questions:
problem x 3743
help x 1049 (this is funny because about a 20% of the questions are closed)
urgent x 8 (I'm amazed that this got so little hits)
please x 253
trouble x 361
error x ...
@JorgeCastro I don't! Exactly the contrary. I prefer (not demand) a project that allows me to set it up the way I like. That was what first attracted me to *nix 15 years ago and what I've always loved about it. I get annoyed when choice that's been there since the early days of, say Gnome, is removed in a newer version.
@terdon on the contrary I've been using *nix for about as long, and I'm glad that projects are going for "working out of the box" instead of "let's ship a bunch of checkboxes"
@JorgeCastro yes, fair enough. And I can see why that's a good thing for a distro like Ubuntu. I would prefer that to happen at the distro level though, not at the DE level so more experienced users still have the choice of tweaking it
@JorgeCastro I can sympathize with "everything should be at simple as possible but no simpler." If you do remove the visible controls for the PDF view options, however, I do expect you to automatically detect PDFs that are actually slides and do the right thing automatically (turn continuous mode off)
@Seth I've been a happy Gnome user for as long as I've been using Linux (considering Unity the natural evolution of Gnome 2), but the direction they're taking occasionally confuses and befuddles me.
@badp Yeah, I remember reading this whole conversation thread between red hat gnome devs about having a "brand image" and such crap. They want all computers that run gnome to be instantly recognizable as such.
That's my issue with this idea. What if I don't like the way your (not you personally) defaults work? What if I don't consider the way you've set it up to be practical?
It's the same mentality as the walled garden crap of Apple
Oh, and note that the linux is not about choice thing is from a red hat employee. That is precisely the problem. I feel that Red Hat and Canonical are each trying to impose their own vision of how I should use my computer.
@JorgeCastro yes and no. If I am an experienced hacker I could tweak the source but 2 years ago, I had a system that both worked out of the box and allowed me to easily tweak it so it works as I like.
@JorgeCastro No! Not at all! I want them to implement theirs, just let me mod it to my taste.
@JorgeCastro I think the pain isn't so much "I want things to be my way" as it is "I wanted things to be my way. I used to have the configuration switches to make things my way. Now some of the switches are all over the place and most of them are actually gone entirely."
The Unity thing about global menus is a perfect example. Some people might prefer it. It drives me insane. Why was this imposed on us? I have finally figured out how to turn it off but that requires setting env variables and does not even work everywhere
I'm running ChrUbuntu with kernel 3.4.0 (Kubuntu 12.04) on an Acer Chromebook. I installed nfs-common. However, the mount command returns the error mount.nfs4 no such device. And # modprobe nfs returns Fatal: module nfs not found. Google didn't offer me any solutions.
It’s a Compiz plugin.
Install Compiz Config Settings Manager (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager in a terminal) and open it.
Once opened, search for a “Move Window” plugin. Select it, and disable or change the first option, that says something like “Initiate window movement” (I ...
