I dont understand how or why apt-get install failed. It mentions ssmtp which is simple smtp which i use to send mail from my server to my google apps account. I dont understand what is wrong or how to fix it.
I am using debian squeeze.

The following works, but it's a bit kludgey.

Is there a more "normal" way?
I have a server setup with Ubuntu, Apache2 and VSFTPD. We virtual host several sites on this machine. Typically, I use the same process to set up the new sites, but the default permissions for some are different than the others.
For some sites, I can upload new files and directories through FTP ...
From man select

I suspect su doesn't have any way to allow passing the password from the shell instead of being prompted for one, for security reasons (couldn't find anything in the MAN). Is this true?

Can anybody explain me what is the meaning of the last column of the output of the last command? I'm particularly interested in its meaning with respect to the reboot pseudo-user.
P.S. can anyone properly tag it as last reboot or wtmp? I don't have enough reputation. Thanks.

I am logging into a solaris server, switching to bash, then switching to another user "sruser" and switching to bash.
"/home/batch/sruser/" is the home directory of the user "sruser".

Symlinking to a directory gives to different results with ls -l depending on whether I ln -s dir or ln -s dir/. But what's the actual difference, and which one should I prefer why?
Suppose that I have enabled Experimental in my "/etc/apt/sources.list". When I need to install anything from it, I have to explicitly specify on the command:
apt-get install wajig
# vs
apt-get --target-release experimental install wajig
Where is such a setting stored? I expected that it would ...
I have huge simulation directories on the two machines server and on cluster which I want to keep synchronized. The basic situation is that files rarely change but when a simulation is done many big files change at once which I'd like to have synchronized as soon as they are closed.
Therefore I ...
Running cat /etc/apt/apt.conf gives:
APT::Default-Release "squeeze";
I thought doing that would disallow the command apt-get install wajig to work, if a newer version was available anywhere but Squeeze.
How do I set up APT so that such a version would require me to specify the repository name...
Hello,
When we connect or disconnect the USB-device, udev shows/monitors that event.
But udev is not enough smart to detect the plug-out or plug-in of monitor.
Is there any way/tool/utility from which I will get the real-time information about the plug-out or plug-in of monitor.

What is an equivalent to M$ Paint and MacPaint that works on Linux? There is a BSD-licenced one called Paintbrush that's great for Mac OS X, but I have not found one on Linux.
I hope it can be lightweight, i.e. few dependencies, don't need GNOME, KDE, etc., but anything is fine.
The main two possibilities are:
Use su and enter the root password when prompted.
Put sudo in front of the command, and enter your password when prompted.
Running a command as root
sudo
This is the preferred method on most multi-user systems and on Ubuntu. If you don't know a separate roo...

I need to process a very large log file with many lines in different formats.

If there is a wajig package with a positive priority in any of your sources, apt-get install wajig will install it. If I understand correctly, you'd like apt-get install wajig to work if squeeze has the latest version and not to work otherwise; I don't think that's possible.
