Setup Ubuntu 10.10 server x32

4 Get root Privileges

sudo passwd root

5 Install The SSH Server (Optional)

If you did not install the OpenSSH server during the system installation, you can do it now:

aptitude install ssh openssh-server

7 Configure The Network

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:

vi /etc/hosts

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

Now run

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname restart

Afterwards, run

hostname
hostname -f

Both should show server1.example.com now.

8 Edit /etc/apt/sources.list And 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:

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Then run

aptitude update

to update the apt package database and

aptitude safe-upgrade

to install the latest updates (if there are any). If you see that a new kernel gets installed as part of the updates, you should reboot the system afterwards:

reboot

11 Install Some Software

Now we install a few packages that are needed later on. Run

aptitude install binutils cpp fetchmail flex gcc libarchive-zip-perl libc6-dev libcompress-zlib-perl libdb4.6-dev libpcre3 libpopt-dev lynx m4 make ncftp nmap openssl perl perl-modules unzip zip zlib1g-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool bison autotools-dev g++ build-essential

(This command must go into one line!)

14 MySQL

In order to install MySQL, we run

aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient16-dev

We want MySQL to listen on all interfaces, not just localhost, therefore we edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and comment out the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1:

vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[…]
#
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
[…]

Then we restart MySQL:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

Now check that networking is enabled. Run

netstat -tap | grep mysql

The output should look like this:

root@server1:~# netstat -tap | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 6796/mysqld
root@server1:~#

17 Apache/PHP5/Ruby/Python/WebDAV

Now we install Apache:

aptitude install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2-suexec libexpat1 ssl-cert

Next we install PHP5, Ruby, and Python (all three as Apache modules):

aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-ruby libapache2-mod-python php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl

Now we have to enable some Apache modules (SSL, rewrite, suexec, include, and WebDAV):

a2enmod ssl
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod suexec
a2enmod include
a2enmod dav_fs
a2enmod dav

Restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

20 Synchronize the System Clock

It is a good idea to synchronize the system clock with an NTP (network time protocol) server over the internet. Simply run

aptitude install ntp ntpdate

and your system time will always be in sync.

apt-get install phpmyadmin

Today we will show you how to install webmin in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
1- Before to install webmin we need first to install some dependencies
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl

For libmd5-perl install it manually :

– Download libmd5-perl

wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/libm/libmd5-perl/libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

– Install libmd5-perl:

sudo dpkg -i libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

2- Now download webmin from this Link with wget

Saving to: `webmin_1.510-2_all.deb’

Openfire install as a service

Go to installed directory of openfire. ex. c:/program files/openfire/etc

Windows Service

If you’re running Openfire on Windows, you will likely want to run Openfire as a standard Windows service after initial setup. If you used the Windows installer, a openfire-service.exe file will be in the bin directory of the installation. You can use this executable to install and control the Openfire service.
From a console window, you can run the following commands:

openfire-service /install — installs the service.
openfire-service /uninstall — uninstalls the service.
openfire-service /start — starts the service
openfire-service /stop — stops the service.

VMware Player 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)

$ chmod +x VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.i386.bundle
Next, acting as root, I executed the file:
$ sudo ./VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.i386.bundle
This will start the VMware Player Installer. After answering the questions whether I want to immediately check for updates and whether I want to support the development, the actual installation starts.

Only 6 more binary days left this century!!

If you are unsure what binary is then check this out.

Binary numeral system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The binary numeral system, or base-2 number system, represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base–2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Owing to its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used internally by all modern computers.

physdiskwrite usage

Change log

  • 0.5.2: added new command line parameter -d to specify drive number (no confirmation prompts!)
  • 0.5.1: increased safety overwrite limit to 2 GB (instead of 800 MB); can still be overridden with -u
  • 0.5: support for digitally signed images; all of the first 32 physical disks are now probed (instead of aborting at the first error)
  • 0.4: model/serial number/firmware version and real C/H/S should now be reported (may not work with e.g. some USB CF adapters)
  • 0.3: a “-u” flag has been added to allow writing to disks > 800 MB (USE WITH CARE!)
  • 0.2: physdiskwrite can now automatically detect and decompress gzipped image files on-the-fly using the embedded zlib.
Usage

physdiskwrite  -u  -d #  freenas.img
