I'm attempting to run OpenSWAN on my Ubuntu11.10 server. All I've done so far is install openswan from the package manager and attempt to set up conf files. However, IPSec support seems to be broken, thus OpenSWAN can't do it's thing.

Can you answer this? Thinkpad fingerprint scan only at login http://askubuntu.com/questions/82624/thinkpad-fingerprint-scan-only-at-login?atw=1 #terminal
I really think thin web-UIs are the future of most applications, but it's still funny
I really think this one is a package install and conf true/false edit: askubuntu.com/questions/120216/…, but I'm waiting on the server ISO to download
@lazyPower wait a sec...he said he's on 11.10 and he's at 2.6.18. current kernel for 11.10 is 3.0. If the ISO doesn't install an ancient kernel I can't possibly test that.
Okay. I'm going after it. It'll probably be a two part answer where it's "steps if you can update" and "steps if you can't". Ksplice looks sweet but I have zero experience with it.
Oracle isn't on my favorites list.. one of the reasons i'm kind of scared to move things to MySQL. I'm thinking I'd be better off going with PostGres just because I know they wont arbitrarily b0rk things because of some nitwit idea.
I don't think I can install a kernel that old from repo and I don't have an ISO that old. I'm checking Natty Contents-amd64.gz now, but I'm starting to think without an archive ISO this isn't possible
nope
`cat Contents-amd64 | grep 'linux-image-2.6.18'` returns an empty set
Yes, the OP claims to be running 11.10 with 2.6.18
please read it and call BS if it seems unreasonable -- Without an archival ISO and archived packages, I can't solve this. The extract of the Contents-amd64.gz from Natty repos tells me cat Contents-amd64 | grep 'linux-image-2.6' from 11.10 returns an empty set for that query. As far back as I can go is 2.6.38-8 as indicated by cat Contents-amd64 | grep 'linux-image-2.6.3' | sort -r

I want to build a custom kernel under Ubuntu.
I configured and built the new kernel. When I try to boot the new kernel I'm stuck at the mknod step.
Simply, it tries to mknod new devices like /dev/sda1 /dev/vca4 but, it fails because the root partition is mounted read-only.

I have a problem with the Rhythmbox media player.
Let's say I want to rip a CD. I open up Rhythmbox and insert the CD. But Rhythmbox doesn't show the track titles! It just says "Unknown Audio". It is a original CD, and I have internet. The titles show up fine in banshee (but I prefer Rhythmbox).

My gnome-terminal on a ubuntu 10.10 machine is not working the way it should work. No autocomplete is working. ctrl + l won't clear the screen, bash prompt is simply a $ and nothing else.

I've noticed that a bunch of closed questions on 12.04 are clogging up the search column on the related questions for each question, and also are generally all alpha/beta stuff anyway.
Should we make a concious effort to remove these before 12.04 is released so not to clog up the new incoming qu...
