Some knowledge seeping in is inevitable…
First install ssh with synaptic, then if needed:
Modify the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
file on the server and changed the
‘PasswordAuthentication’ variable from ‘no’ to ‘yes’.
also change no on:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
Then run
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
to restart the sshd server
How to add extra repositories to (K)Ubuntu?
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
# edit list
apt get update
What to add:
For Kaffeine video codecs: #You can browse it here:
(ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/)
Add this line:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main
apt get install w32codecs
# and more
For Cinelerra: (needs more testing)
Depositories worked but they miss some packages and make it imposibble to install from here. But here they are anyway.
For i386 processors:
deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid ./
For Pentium4 processors:
deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/pentium4 ./
For Athlon processors:
deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/athlonxp ./
Apt-source:
deb-src http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid ./
Instead try downloading Cinelerra from here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/heroines/
Then use alien and dpkg.
Q: How to convert .rpm file to .deb file?
sudo alien package_file.rpm
Q: How to install/uninstall .deb file?
#To install .deb file:
sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
#To uninstall .deb file
sudo dpkg -r package_name
Some more ideas:
You’ll need to add some extra repositories. Can’t remember where MPlayer is located – you could try adding ‘Multiverse’..
Alternatively, here’s my /etc/apt/sources.list – and it covers just about everything!

Beware of breaking your distro – I recommend adding only the extra repositories you need in the first instance..
always consult
http://www.ubuntuguide.org
ctrl alt F1 ##open 1st console screen
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get instal synaptic
sudo apt-get install linux-686 ##for pentium kernel
sudo apt-get install linux-k7 ##for athlon kernel
sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp ##for dual pentium kernel
sudo apt-get install linux-k7-smp ##for dual athlon kernel
Fixing Control Panel:
Description: Controll Panel would not open Adminisrator Mode…
1) Delete everything in /var/tmp/kdecache (the one with your username in it)
example: /var/tmp/kdecache-erika
2) Check the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file and find AllowRootLogin. if false:
sudo nano -w /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
ctrl w
AllowRootLogin
AllowRootLogin=false
set it to
AllowRootLogin=true
Disk Setup: 1 x 160Gb HDD
hd1 106 Mb ext3 /boot bootflag: on
hd2 1024Mb swap
hd3 20GB reiserfs / ##root dir
hd4 …the rest reiserfs /home
Raid setup: 5 x 160Gb HDD
5x hd1 106 Mb raid1 ext3 /boot bootflag: on all 5
5x hd2 1024Mb no raid swap
5x hd3 4GB Raid5 reiserfs / ##root dir
5x hdd4 …the rest Raid5
The rest will be installed with VML
When [!!] Finish the installation Message Appears:
ALT F2
chroot /target /bin/bash
passwd ##make root password
When computer starst after install the first time, RAID needs to be fixed:
su
cat /proc/mdstat
mount ##checking
mount -a ##Fixing
mount ##Checking for the changes
exit
Fixing Grub:
su
cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak
nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst
look for line:
# kopt=root=/dev/md1 ro
or
# kopt=root=/dev/hd1 ro
change to
# kopt=root=/dev/md1 ro nohdparm
or
# kopt=root=/dev/hd1 ro nohdparm
ctrl o
ctrl x
(This will add the new parameter I put there to all new kernels I install)
Also all the kernel lines that are already there can be fixed this way…
Fixing Swap if Raid instal:
su
nano -w /etc/fstab
change on all 5 swap the “sw” to pri=”1″
ctrl o
ctrl x
then make the changes with
swapoff -a
swapon -a
swapon -s
How-to maximize raid rebuild speed:
su
cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
check the max speed, it is like 20000
cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
check the min speed, it is like 1000 only
echo 20000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
##echo can write config data to the proc stuff
##cat reads settings
##echo changes settings
setting LVM:
su
cp /etc/lvm/lvm.conf /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.bak
nano -w /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
go down to line starting with filter…
