I have some tricky things I'm trying to research. A local non-profit organization I help out is offering free wireless and wants to add adult web filtering. So, I'm attempting to setup something at my house then get used to it before I take it up there.

The guys from work have informed me that the internet and Linux will be my best solutions. I'm semi-familiar with Linux, have ran Ubuntu, GOS, and PuppyLinux(hard install and pen drive) and I'm willing to learn a new operating system such as Solara(sp?) if necessary.

So I guess my question is, where should I start in my research of how to filter the internet through a computer using linksys wireless routers?

I've been googling for days and I'm "guessing" that I want to set up a Linux box and then build a DNS server and I can then somehow tell the router to go through the Linux box's DNS server to filter, is this right? Any help, tips, pointers, different ways to google this would be appreciated.

*Note: I want to use a single computer to filter all computers attached to a Linksys wireless router. I'm not looking to just setup an adult filter on a single computer.*

Thank you VERY much.

But while transferring files from my linux partition(Ext3 in RHEL4) to my pen drive, I observe, all the files having names having more than 8 characters are displayed... Hi,
I am trying to use my pen drive which is having FAT32 file partition. But while transferring files from my linux partition(Ext3 in RHEL4) to my pen drive, I observe, all the files having names having more than 8 characters are displayed OK...but files with names less than or equal to 8 characters become transfered to all small letters....
Let me explain the problem with few examples.
Say I have a file named "CHAR8FLN" in my home folder. When I copy it my pen drive, it becomes "char8fln". But for a 9 character file "CHAR9FLNM" it comes up properly.
The same problem is observed for file names less than 8 characters and for more that 9 characers the file names remain as it is.
There is also another problem.
In my pen drive(FAT32 partition) I am not able to create two different files like "ChAr9FlNm" and "cHaR9fLnM". Even though I create the second file it seems, there is no further file created. But in my home folder the same process creates two different files.
For mounting the pen drive in RHEL4 I am using this command.

mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/PRATAP_8GB

Here is the content of the file /etc/fstab on my system. I think, the pen drive should be auto mounted as soon as I insert it. But it doesn't happen and I have to manually mount it every time.

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

Also I have several windows drives on my computer. But I am not able to see their content in RHEL4...I have seen that happen in other linux versions like ubuntu etc...by default. How can I get that sort of feature in RHEL 4 too? I need to use RHEL4 only as some of the tools I am running only run on RHEL 4 only.

Hoping for some positive responses,
Thanks in advance,

Everything is working fine except I can't get the wireless working. I contacted Linksys and they charged me $32.99 with a guarantee that they would get it working. They then passed me off to a partner company named Supportrix. They told me that they couldn't find a driver for the Linksys wireless card, so I should give them two days and they would have one made for me. I called back today and the best they will do is email the tech that I was talking to, to see if he would call me back.

Does anyone have a driver or can you point me in the right direction? WHile I may get satisfaction from Supportrix, I would also like to hedge my bets. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have been suffering a fairly well-specked core duo with a gig of RAM running Ubuntu 8.04, which over a couple of hours after a reboot, gets slower and more congested requiring frequent re-boots. This is... For weeks (has it been months now?) I have been suffering a fairly well-specked core duo with a gig of RAM running Ubuntu 8.04, which over a couple of hours after a reboot, gets slower and more congested requiring frequent re-boots. This is especially noticable in Firefox, whereas Opera and Ephiphany don't seem to suffer so much. Fortunately this machine is in another city and only gets used a few days a month.

So to see if I could do a quick fix, I decided to install 9.10 and was very favourably impressed with the new installer, especially the partitioner, which sems vastly improved over 8.04. It offered a (new to me) option to install 9.10 alongside my existing, which my knee jerk reaction to was, "That's good, If I don't like it, I'll just uninstall it and then try to figure out what's wrong with 8.04"

Unfortunately (probably) I did not think through where the installer was going to get the space, and when I brought it up, it had not found my old /home partition, and about that time it was necessary to depart to return here leaving me unsure of what had happened and now unable to investigate until I get back there.

So here is the first question. What have I done partition-wise (the 8.04 had a swap, system, and home partition; big hdd with lots of room most of which is/was devoted to /home)? I am guessing that 9.10 took the space it needed from /home, and I hope that it took "unused" space. Any ideas?

(I expect that this question might be commented by any linux user, not just Ubuntu users.)

This is going to be a theoretical discussion because I cannot access the other computer from here. But more than theory, because I really want to see what the rest of 9.10 looks like, and am about 98% sure that I want to upgrade this computer as well.

It also has the swap, system, and home partitions the difference being that this computer has another 300 gigs in an unused partition. So the second question is: when I install 9.10 would you recommend that I upgrade over 8.04, or just do a clean install into the existing system partition, or do another "alongside" utilizing part of the unused partition? I like the idea of installing it alongside 8.04 but want to make sure that it sees my existing home partition. Is this just a matter of mounting home in the 9.10?

I want the result to keep my desktop intact with all of the quick launches at the top as they are now.

Quote:
GRUB 2 is standard on Kubuntu starting with 9.10. During its installation from the Live CD, you can specify if you want GRUB 2installed, and if so, where to put it. Here's how:

Start the Live CD installer.
Step: Disk Setup
"Specify Partitions Manually"
Step: Summary
Advanced button at lower right
Check or un-check to install GRUB 2 bootloader
Choose from the drop-down list where to install GRUB 2
sda = the MBR of drive sda
sda1 = the first partition of drive sda
sdb = the MBR of drive sdb
etc.

I am installing Ubuntu 9.10. I am dual-booting with XP and do not want to overwrite the MBR on my first hard drive.

In the past when I have dual- or multibooted with Ubuntu or other Linux distros, I have been able to place grub on a floppy (fd0). I know Ubuntu 9.10 has gone to Grub 2, but it should still be possible to write to the floppy instead of the hard disks.

But during install, when I reached the point in the quote above, the drop-down list does not include the floppy drive as an option. In the past (as with Ubuntu 9.05) I have merely overwritten the default "(hd0)" with "(fd0)." I tried that while installing 9.10 and received the fatal error that Grub could not be written to the device.

To be sure, I formatted the floppy and ran chkdsk on it with no errors.

Having grub on the floppy is much more convenient. You simply insert the floppy and you can dual- or multiboot. Eject it, and your system is a normal, single-boot machine again.

The USB flash drive is not recognized on boot even though I changed the boot order to "removable" for the first boot priority. I have some questions: 1)Is my BIOS incapable of booting from a USB flash drive since I had no option in BIOS except "removable" that didn't work that seemed to be what I needed to have to boot from a flash drive? 2) Is xubuntu the version I need to run from the flash drive instead of ubuntu? 3) Do I need a flash drive faster than 30 MB/sec to feasibly run the ubuntu O/S from the flash drive such as a 200x or 480 MB/Sec flash drive? 4)How many MB/Sec is 200x speed on a flash drive?
I could not locate a flash drive with good reviews such as the OCZ Rally 2 Turbo 4GB or the Lexar Vault 4GB. I checked newegg and tigerdirect and CDW. 5) Do you know where I could buy one of these flash drives online or a comparable one?

6) Is there a topic here I'm overlooking for my goal of running the ubuntu O/S from a flash drive?

I just recently moved and before the move the computer worked just fine. After the move I have plugged everything in and nothing. The pc powers up like its running etc but the monitor remains black with the yellow indicator light constant. I know its not the monitor because when I first plugged it in I got the screen that says its not receiving a signal from the pc (the pc wasn't turned at the time). So I thought maybe I'll download Kubuntu 9.10 (since i'm running 9.04) and see if that will get the screen going.... So I have download 9.10 (kubuntu of course) and popped it into the cd and still hasn't done anything. Let me take you through a step-by-step of what it does do.

From it already being on (the pc):
1. Press the cd eject button
2. Pop the 9.10 cd in
3. Hold the power button on the pc to turn it off
4. Wait 10 seconds then turn it back on

(This I thought was odd)

5. It turns on then after like 5 seconds shuts off (clicks and light on pc goes off) then about
3-5 seconds after that it turns back on and the light on the cd player blinks like it is
reading the cd.

During this whole process the monitor remains black and the indicator is a constant yellow. I have checked to see if its my connections to the pc itself and everything is snuggly connected.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Matt

Nothing has changed on this laptop (except regular Hardy 8.04 updates) for the last 2 years.

HP dv9428 AMD Turion64 x2, 2G ramsticks.

On one instance it froze completely. 2 pages open - no youtube stuff, no heavy usage stuff. I opened the cli to ping, minimized it, opened another page, and left the machine for another desktop to compare, came back, it was locked.

I am a newbie as far as Linux is concerned and request your help in sorting out my teething problems. I have bought a wireless cdma usb for the Toshiba l 300 satellite notebook with Fedora 11 Gnome as the distro flavour. I am unable to connect and seek your help. I have googled around and in the posts( forums) ,the folks were mentioning NetworkManager, which i am unable to locate in the OS!

It's got 7RC 32-bit on it right now.

However, my laptop's not really the best, just a $400 one I picked up at Micro Center to have a computer-away-from-my-PC computer, so I want to install linux (probably ubuntu or kubuntu, but that's not what I'm asking about) on it too and dual-boot it.

Reason being, one, I want to learn a little about this, and two, Win7 can be my "heavy" OS, used when I want to play some older games or do something specific to Windows, and Ubuntu can be my "light" OS, which I'll boot when I just want to idly surf the web or IM or something like that. I've no experience with doing this and only very limited experience with linux at all; so far I like kubuntu's feel more but I'm fine with either.

So, two questions. First is, how easy is this to do, what's the best way to go about it? I know what a partition is, but I don't know the safest/best way to go about making one.

Second, is there any way to let both OSes access certain folders and files (such as my pictures and music), or would I have to have copies of each file for each OS?

I'm not a newbie to computers, have screwed around enough with linux to at least be able to open a web browser or Pidgin without breaking something, but I am new to dual-booting and such. My laptop's specs are posted under my PC's.

The point of this, partly, is to learn how to do it, and to actually use linux outside of virtualbox or something. Meaning, I'd prefer a method that won't turn my laptop into a $450 brick if I mess up since I'm new at dual-booting and installing Linux, but I don't mind something just for being a little technical. ]]> Linux and Unix SandyGunfox http://forums.techguy.org/linux-unix/873664-solved-new-dual-booting.html Fix for rhythmbox not playing mp3 in Ubuntu karmic http://forums.techguy.org/linux-unix/873562-fix-rhythmbox-not-playing-mp3.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:05:32 GMT Fix for rhythmbox not playing mp3 in Ubuntu karmic (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-rhythmbox-not-playing-mp3-in-ubuntu-karmic.html). -- Tom Fix for rhythmbox not playing mp3 in Ubuntu karmic.

I put it into my ol' Compaq Presario 7478 and fire it up. It has 192MBs of RAM, all open slots filled. I run it up and got "Kernal panic - not syncing: attempting to kill init!". I read somewhere else that it could be bad ram, so checked it with one out and one in and then vice versa... I dont know what to do... I need this bad, and one little last note to add Ubuntu will not run either. It just loads and loads and loads...
