Newsgroups Ubuntu (Linux) Guide

2010-02-04T23:50:00.003+01:00

Newsgroups Ubuntu (Linux) Guide

In this guide we'll be setting up everything we need to successfully use the newsgroups on an Ubuntu installed Linux box. Our starting point will be a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.0.4:

Fresh Ubuntu Install

Step 1 - Install/Configure Newsreader - Download Files

Head over to the Synaptic Package Manager and install Klibido. If you plan on using the newsgroups for more than downloading, you may want to install the more full featured Pan newsreader instead, but for our purposes Klibido does a fine job. The Synaptic Package Manager will probably want to install some dependency packages as well, make sure you let it!

Make sure you set your download directory so you know where stuff winds up. BTW: you do this for every new file sharing program you use right? k, just making sure you're not a loser newb or something: 'i downloaded it, but i have no idea where it went?' is so played out and annoying.

Klibido runs the Preferences setup on first load

Klibido will say it can't find the files in your database that it hasn't created yet (can't the programmers put in a first run exception? is it that hard??) - you should dutifully click yes to recreate them - NOW.

Click Server on top of the now open Klibido program window (maximize the program if it started small as hell like mine did) and then click New Server... to reach the add server screen. Guess what you do here? You add your server details (duh!). At this point I certainly hope you've read through the rest of this guide already and know what a server is and why you need a really good one. If not, no problem.

Now you have your newsreader all set and ready to go. WooHoo! Now go find an NZB file to begin downloading from the newsgroups. Here is where Klibido (and Pan) are lacking compared to Windows readers -- the program cannot be launched using the nzb file and automatically start downloading. So what you have to do is save the NZB file (try using your download directory) and then load it into your news reader once you load it. Click on File then Download .nzb in Klibido or Import NZB Files... in Pan. Once the NZB is loaded, the news reader gets to work and downloads all the files in the archive:

Klibido downloading an NZB set

Step 2 - Install PyPar (PAR/PAR2 Utility) - Check Archive for errors

Back to Synaptic Package Manager we go, this time to install PyPar2. When you select it, it will alert you to install the par2 package if you haven't already done so, this is necessary. Run PyPar2 by going to Applications then Other to find PyPar2. After it loads, select the par2 file for the archive:

PyPar2 load par2 file window

Then let 'er rip:

PyPar2 checking files

After PyPar2 has finished performing it's magic, you will have a complete archive set, and you're ready to put it all together in the next step.

Step 3 - Install rar (Rar Utility) - Restore archive to original state

Back to (guess where?) Synaptic Package Manager we go, this time to install rar. rar is a simple install (no dependencies). After you have installed it browse to your download folder (you remember that folder right?) and right click on the beginning rar file and select Extract Here to restore the archive:

Restoring a rar archive

After it finishes you will have in your directory the archive as it was originally (you may want to now delete all the par and rar files). The world is yours! have fun.

How to flush Linux cache ?

2010-01-19T23:25:00.003+01:00

Flushing Linux Caches

Recent versions of Linux (i.e. since 2.6.16) have added the ability to flush their caches. You can run:

$ sync ; echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

2009-10-29T11:03:00.005+01:00

Having problems mounting hd.
(mount: you must specify the filesystem type)

If you have problems with mounting, then try this
Creating the partition is not enough to use it, you need to put a filesystem on it.

Code:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1

Then you can mount it using

Code:

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1

.htaccess on ubuntu with apache install not working

2009-07-17T13:31:00.002+02:00

How to get .htaccess file to work in Ubuntu and Apache2.
In example I use Apache v2.2, and Ubuntu 9.04
after install apache v2.2 on my ubuntu, i make a .htaccess file with .htpasswd, everything according standard set up, was fine, but i could not make my .htaccess file to work, i tried almost everything , i could not get a answer on the net, then i find a little detail on apache.org. here is explanation..
u open yours preferred terminal, I use nano.
Log in at “root” and type:
# nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

there you will find VirtualHost set up:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

….

and change “AllOverride None” to “AllOverride All”
and you .htaccess file will work

The use of .htaccess files can be disabled completely by setting the AllowOverride directive to "None" or if you wanna enable you need to set directive to “All
AllowOverride None

!remember to make a .htpasswd file to, put dem (.htaccess, .htpasswd) in the same directory.

/var/www

Ubuntu , Apache2 , .htaccess easy set up..
her is example for .htaccess file

AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
DirectoryIndex index.html
require valid-user

and here example for .htpasswd file

someuser:mo3wsdmzk3yX6

on the net you can find any .htaccess generator
and easy to use...

I hope I give your some idea

The Perfect Basic Ubuntu Debian Server setup

2009-07-11T11:05:00.003+02:00

Install the base system using the minimal option.

1. Get root Privileges

Enable the root login by running the following and giving root a password. You can then directly log in as root:

sudo passwd root

2. Install vim-nox or nano or joe (Optional)

I'll use vi as my text editor in this tutorial. The default vi program has some strange behaviour on Ubuntu and Debian; to fix this, we install vim-nox:

aptitude install vim-nox nano

(You don't have to do this if you use a different text editor such as joe or nano.)

3. Configure The Network

Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):

vi /etc/network/interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.0.100
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      network 192.168.0.0
      broadcast 192.168.0.255
      gateway 192.168.0.1

Then restart your network:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Then edit /etc/hosts. Make it look like this:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.100   server1.example.com     server1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Now run:

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

Afterwards, run:

hostname
hostname -f

Both should show server1.example.com now.

4. Update your Linux Installation

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Comment out or remove the installation CD from the file and make sure that the universe and multiverse repositories are enabled. It should look like this:

#
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.1)]/ jaunty main restricted

#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.1)]/ jaunty main restricted

How to record rip streaming net radio in Ubuntu Debian Linux easy steps

2009-05-31T01:25:00.012+02:00

How to record streaming net radio in Ubuntu Debian Linux easy way.

You need to open GNOME Terminal, and change to directory you want to stream to.

installing:
'sudo apt-get install streamripper'

Here is how to use: 'streamripper (URL)' to rip,
just replace (url) with your stream,
and streamripper will be separating each song to own file and naming the files, if information is available.

If you type:
'streamripper (URL) -r' then you will create a local relay on http://localhost:8000 or relay port:XXXX be shown when ripping start.
You can then use that on your music player so you don't need to have 2 connections open to the web radio, to listen & rip at the same time.

If you don't want to have tons of folders everytime you rip, type:
'streamripper (URL) -s' then all ripping will be save in that directory you standing in.

You can use 'streamripper (URL) -a ' to rip into a single file, and '-d' allows selecting directory for more options. 'man streamripper' will tell more.

For a GUI way, 'sudo apt-get install streamtuner' It will appear in your menus, and allows you to browse large selection of web radio streams and just hit record button to record the stream with streamripper.

ripping will look like this, have fun.... :)

How To Install VMWareServer2 on Ubuntu 9.04

2009-05-27T14:53:00.005+02:00

How To Install VMWareServer2 on Ubuntu 9.04

The VMWare team finally decided to make an Ubuntu friendly version of their software, and made installation relatively easy!
They removed the VMWare server console and instead change to Web browser easy to use management system! That means friendly to use for you and me!

So lets get startet to install.
This is what you need to do to install VMWare Server 2 on Ubuntu 9.04:

Note: If you using ubuntu server and doesn't have a GUI, you need to register for the download, and then download it to your Desktop machine, any folder you want.

Now, to the install steps:

1. Install the necesarry prerequisites

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd

2. Now change into the directory where you want your VMWare TAR ball to be. I saved mine in /home/morphus.dk/vm

$ cd /home/yourusername/vm

Note: if your didn't make a directory yet, you do it like this:

$ mkdir vm
now you have a directory name "vm"
then copy your VMware tarball to that "vm" directory,like this

$ cp whereeveryourare/VMware-server-*.tar.gz VMware-server-*.tar.gz

then change directory to "vm" or what ever you have call it, like this

$ cd whereeveryouare/vm

3. Now Extract the TAR ball and run the installer

$ tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz

$ cd vmware-server-distrib

$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl

4. You can hit enter for all of the defaults, except when asked for a name of an alternate administrator. For that enter your username.
If you don't, you will have to reset the root password as that is the default administrator for VMWare Server,
when asked for the direcrory of virtual machines, you have the option of saving them in a different directory. I for instance like to save mine in /home/morphus.dk/vm.
5. Near the end, you will have to enter your serial number which you received when you first registered for the download.
6. Done! Now you are ready to login! You can login to the web console by browsing to

Log in to VMserver2:

http://servername:8222
or http://localhost:8222 (or hvat ever port you set, thru installation)

After building your first machine, you can view it through the web console in Firefox after installing the correct plugins which you will be prompted for in the web console.
That is it! Seriously! Can you believe it? In just about all previous Ubuntu versions, and VMWare Server versions it has been 1.5 bitches to install. This time it is really really easy!
After you installing it, and have any comments, let me know what you think!

How to install Wordpress blog on UBUNTU LAMP server?

2009-05-17T11:38:00.005+02:00

This tutorial is how to install WordPress on Ubuntu Linux Desktop using LAMP. Why ? One reason is that you can do a lot of developing (playing around) much quicker as there is no need to use ftp. If You like me, play around with WordPress as a developer (perhaps you create your own theme or plugin), you should install WordPress locally in your Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

You do not need to convert your Ubuntu Desktop into Ubuntu Server. You only need install addition packages that you need to run WordPress on your Ubuntu Linux desktop.

Get ready?! Let?s start to install WorPress on Ubuntu Linux desktop.

Install LAMP

You can view my previous post about LAMP Installation On Ubuntu, if you have not already done so.

Download WordPress

You can download WordPress from their official website into your Ubuntu desktop.

Extract your WordPress archieve into your server directory

sudo tar zxvf wordpress-x.x.x.tar.gz --directory=/var/www/

Prepare MySQL Database for WordPress

Create a database for WordPress on your Ubuntu, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it. You can use phpMyAdmin to make it easier

First create dababase: wordpress
Then create a new user: wordpress with password: wordpresspassword

Write down the values you used for databasename, wordpressusername, hostname, and password for future purpose

Configure WordPress Setting

Copy the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php. Open and edit wp-config.php file

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'wordpresspassword');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Run the Install Script

Using your favorite web browser (Firefox by default), visit wp-admin/install.php within the directory into which you just installed WordPress on your web site. For example: point your browser to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
.

Preview your New WordPress

Point your browser to http://localhost/wordpress.

Well done! You have your own WordPress on Your Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

Installing LAMP on Ubuntu (Linux,Apache,MySQL,PHP)

2009-05-16T22:52:00.015+02:00

Installing LAMP on Ubuntu (Linux,Apache,MySQL,PHP)
Linux/Unix, PHP, Tutorials and Ubuntu
Apache, LAMP, Linux, MySQL, PHP, Ubuntu.

This guide is divided into 3 steps: installing/tesing Apache, PHP and finally MySQL.

Lets start with Apache:
1. Open the terminal (we will be using it through most of my guide) from Applications > Accessories > Terminal
2. Install apache2 using apt-get by typing the following

sudo apt-get install apache2

Note that you should know the root password.
Now everything should be downloaded and installed automatically.
To start/stop apache2 write:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

Your www folder should be in: /var/www/

If installing Apache2 was succesfull you should see an ordinary HTML page when you type: http://localhost in your browser

Finished with Apache ? lets conquer PHP:

1. Also in terminal write:
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

or any php version you like
2. restart apache
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This is it for PHP :D Wanna test it ? Just create an ordinary PHP page in /var/www/ and run it.
Example:
$ sudo nano /var/www/test.php

and write in it:
$ < ?php Echo "Hello, World!"; ?>

Now run it by typing http://localhost/test.php in browser… You should see your ” Hello World ”

OK ,lets continue to installing MySQL:
1. Open terminal and type:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

2. (optional) If you are running a server you should probably bind your address by editing bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and replacing its value (127.0.0.1) by your IP address
3. set your root password (although mysql should ask you about that when installing)
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@'localhost’ = PASSWORD(’xxxxxx’);

4. Try running it
mysql -uroot -pxxx

where xxx is your password.
Note: You can install PHPMyAdmin for a graphical user interface of MySQL by executing
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

5. restart apache for the last time
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Congratulions your LAMP system is installed and running :D Happy Coding

1: To open PHPMYADMIN type just in your browser:
"http://localhost/phpmyadmin" - without quotes of course

2: To start, stop or restart APACHE2 - open terminal and type:
"apachectl start/stop/restart "

HyperTerminal in Ubuntu - Minicom Serial Port

2009-05-12T15:17:00.003+02:00

HyperTerminal replacement in Ubuntu - Minicom

I was kinda surprise that HyperTerminal is not available anymore in Windows Vista. No problem, I rebooted my notebook to Ubuntu and fire-up minicom.

1. By default, minicom is not installed in Ubuntu, so you need to install it first.
$ sudo apt-get install minicom

2. Find the name of your Serial Port
$ dmesg | grep tty

In the output look for something like "tty". The output in my case is like this:
$ dmesg | grep tty

[ 0.004000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.284802] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 1.285068] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

This means the device correspond to my serial port is ttyS0.

3. Configure minicom
sudo minicom -s
* Use the keyboard keys to select the menu item Serial port setup.
* Enter A to change the Serial Device to /dev/ttyS0,
and then enter E to change the line speed to 9600 8N1
* Using arrow keys, select Save setup as dfl

4. Select Exit from Minicom.

5. Next time, from the terminal you only need to run sudo minicom in order to access your Cisco box.

Howto Recover Cisco Router Password

2009-04-28T11:03:00.002+02:00

This ‘How to’ is written to show the step by step password recovery of the Cisco Routers
. It is assumed that you have a prior knowledge of what a router is and its basic function. It is also assumed the you are having some experience of configuring the router.

Please do not follow these steps if you are a new to Routers, as this can damage the IOS or any physical interface of the router.

1.Connect a computer to the router’s Console port using the Console cable that came with your router (it is usually flat and light blue).

Use these terminal settings:
* 9600 baud rate
* No parity
* 8 data bits
* 1 stop bit
* No flow control

2.Turn the router off using the power switch and turn it back on.

3.Once text starts popping up on the screen, send the break command CTRL + B or CTRL +BREAK (sometimes it is CTRL +X). This will abort the boot and present you with a rommon 1> prompt

4.From the new prompt you need to change the configuration register using the following command: confreg 0×2142

5.If you are using an older model of router you may need to enter o/r 0×2142

6.Now you need to recycle the router with the reset command.

7.If you used the o/r command then reset the router with the I command

8.Once the router finishes restarting you will find that there are no passwords to deal with, so you can enter enabled mode carte blanche.

9.Once in enabled mode enter this: copy start run. This will copy the startup config to the running config.

10.Now, go into configuration mode with the config t command

11.Once there enter the new password with the enable secret password command (i.e. enable secret admin).

12.Now set the configuration register back to normal with this command: confreg 0×2102

13.Exit config mode and enter the command copy run start to copy the new configuration to ram.

14.Now it is time to reload your router

15.Once the router is back up you need to configure all of your interfaces with the no shutdown command or they will not work.
