Postfix help

Postfix help

Greetings!
I am new to Postfix and I need your help!
I have a new server running Postfix under Virtualmin
I am unable to receive mail - can send just fine
I have this at the end of /etc/aliases

default-phpmydev.com: \rwhitney
hosting-phpmydev.com: \rwhitney

there are at least 3 or more addresses that cannot receive mail, so I assume it is system-wide.
Anyone have any insight or wisdom to impart?
Do you need me to post anything else?
Not sure what so I thought I'd ask. :D

Thanks!

How do I install linux on a tablet?

How do I install linux on a tablet?

I just bought a used Fujitsu stylistic 4120, and love it. My problem is that it runs windows xp, and I would prefer to put linux on it, lubuntu or antiX (due to ram). This tablet does not have a cd/dvd player, and the bios doesn't provide for usb booting. How do you install an os on tablets like this? Also, if I do get lubuntu or antix installed, are they compatible with tablet operation?

RHEL 4 unbootable after unclean shut down

RHEL 4 unbootable after unclean shut down

Hi, I'm a newbie here and technically not very expert on Linux. I'm currently running into a problem with our enterprise linux. We shut our servers down to do maintenance and the system is not booting normally. See details below:

OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4

We need to get the systems running by the end of the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Finding/Fixing LibreOffice Bullet Code Bug

Help Finding/Fixing LibreOffice Bullet Code Bug

Hi All,

Anyone up for a challenge ;)

I'm trying to find the bug in this damn code that's causing incorrect behavior in LibreOffice (this has been a problem since way back in OpenOffice, devs haven't prioritized it so I decided to check it out myself).

Bug: Type I II III (three separate lines, let auto bullets start), highlight, go to format --> bullets & number. Select 1st column, 2nd row (ie, Uppercase roman, uppercase letters, lowercase roman, lowercase letters, etc...).

As you can see there is now a weird tab on the III bullet, the first two are fine. The funny thing is EVERY THIRD BULLET is now screwed up.

Here is the source for outline.cxx, outline.src & outline.hrc (in that order)

Code:

/* -*- Mode: C++; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- */

Puppy Linux, quick question

Puppy Linux, quick question

Hi,
(Warning, might be a stupid question ;))

I have heard and read that puppy linux always runs its users as root, is that true? And if so is there a way to make it not that way? Like maybe have a new user that isn't root after installing the OS?

I haven't done much with puppy other then as a live CD, and it never came to mind that root might not be a good idea at all times.

Linux booting directly into a software

Linux booting directly into a software

I didn't know where to post this, so I did it here - since i'm a newbie and all...

Well, i'm looking for a way to to load directly into a software, without having to load into a full desktop environment. My goal is to take this old machine and turn into a kind of typewriter, with no distractions aside from the word processor.

Is there anyway to do that?:)

Internal harddrive read-only(hitachi SATA 650Gb)

Internal harddrive read-only(hitachi SATA 650Gb)

Hi,

I have an odd problem...well an annoying problem. My internal hard drive is read only which is O.K. unless you need to write to it or say boot it.

So what happened? I really don't know, I sent my computer to get some maintenance done on it because it won't boot, won't power up, it won't even go so far as post any POST errors. It was dead...Wait a minute, I think the power supply fan worked anyways the Acer maintenance people said I had a bad RAM module and they replaced it and said the computer is now fine. Well its fine except now the internal hard drive is read only? I tried accessing the drive via PartedMagic but couldn't delete/format or write to the hard drive(I could read the hard drive with PartedMagic). What can cause a hard drive to be read only?

Linux PC for OpenGL Development

Linux PC for OpenGL Development

For a graduate class in Computer Graphics (using OpenGL), I want to set up an nice, powerful Linux PC with OpenGL. But I don't know where to start.

I need a recommendation for PC manufacturer, hardware configuration, Linux distro, and OpenGL setup. I have some time, because the class doesn't start until January 2012. But it may take me until then to figure out what I need.

Money is not a big consideration. I want a powerful system. Not the very latest cutting edge (i.e. no overpriced bling). But I want a powerful system.

Help?

Thanks,

Looking for someone to interview for a paper

Looking for someone to interview for a paper

I am conducting research for a mini-ethnography I am writing. The subculture I chose for my paper was the Linux subculture and it's users. If anyone has the time to answer any or all of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Please try to be as descriptive as possible.
1. How long have you been using Linux?
2. How and why did you start using Linux?
3. What keeps you devoted to Linux?
4. Does Linux benefit you? If so, how?
5. What are your views on other operating systems (i.e. Windows, Mac OSx) ?
6. Which distribution of Linux do you use? Why?
7. Have you used other distributions in the past? If so, which ones and what made you change?
8. Do you use Linux for your work?

Also, feel free to add any additional information about your Linux and computer background. The paper I am writing is more focused on the typical Linux user, rather than Linux itself.

Thank you! PM me if you'd like to tell me more :)

Samba + AD Permission Trouble

Samba + AD Permission Trouble

Hello Friends

i got samba + winbind integrated with my AD 2k3 and i`m able to view AD users using wbinfo -u
i`ve setup my samba server to auto-create home directories for my AD users when ever they access my linux server

MY PROBLEM is that when a user try to access his home Directory on the linux box he gets an authentication window, even after entering his Credentials the system dosen`t allow him to access the Directory, although i know its a permission issue , i cant figure out what is missing in my smb.conf file

i tried to create the user home directory manually and gave it a permission for the AD-User Account, but al in vain !

i`ve had a look on this wiki but i got lost comparing it to my configuration .


here is a closer look at my smb.conf ...

Code:


# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2011/10/31 22:27:19

        workgroup = MYDOMAIN
        realm = MYDOMAIN
        server string = Samba Server Version %v
        security = ADS
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        idmap uid = 10000-20000
        idmap gid = 10000-20000
        cups options = raw

Ubuntu 11.10 + KDE 4.4 + Monitor Sleep?

Ubuntu 11.10 + KDE 4.4 + Monitor Sleep?

Hi All,

Trying to figure out how to turn off the monitor in KDE 4.4 running on top of Ubuntu 11.10. I did the following:

System Settings -> Power Management -> Power Profiles

Turned on Screen Energy Saving and set it to 1 minute, what I see is this just dims the screen after a minute (so I'm not sure how it's different from Dim Display). Thanks in advance

Hi all!
Completely new to Linux ... and like lots of others, wanting to know already everything. Don't like reading hundreds of pages in books too much, but learning by doing. Started with the AmigaOS and switched later to Windows. Now I am interested in wireless security, and I think Linux is best OS for this. Will probably have lots of questions. ;)

Help with research paper???

Help with research paper???

I really couldnt find any other category that this could fall under but I figured Id give it a try.

For my Lunux class at school we are to write a research paper, specifically on a computer peripheral.

It can be any peripheral you use but I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to write about.

Like if I decide to write on a mouse, what would it be about?
or if I decide a keyboard, what would it be about?

Its a simple paper but figuring this out is taking me longer than it should...

if you have any ideas I would apreciate it.

Which Linux distro to choose (except Ubuntu)?

Which Linux distro to choose (except Ubuntu)?

I've been thinking for quite a while now about which distro should replace Ubuntu on my laptop... Although Unity is not as bad as I expected to be, it nevertheless is not for me! Big icons, menus always on top of the screen, difficult to customize... It reminds me more of Mac OS than Linux...

Anyway... I did some search and downloaded the live CDs from Fedora and Mint. They both look very good if you, of course, don't select Gnome 3 as the desktop environment! I have two questions...

1) Is it true that Mint is based on Ubuntu and what does this mean for a user? If, for example, Canonical decides to do some serious changes in Ubuntu will these changes pass on to Mint as well?

2) I really liked Fedora (both KDE and Xfce). My only concern is if it's for really experienced users. Even though I consider myself as experienced (I've been using Linux for more than 2 years now both in my laptop as well as in my work), maybe that's not enough for Fedora!!

Thanks!

Which Linux distro to choose (except Ubuntu)?

Which Linux distro to choose (except Ubuntu)?

I've been thinking for quite a while now about which distro should replace Ubuntu on my laptop... Although Unity is not as bad as I expected to be, it nevertheless is not for me! Big icons, menus always on top of the screen, difficult to customize... It reminds me more of Mac OS than Linux...

Question about using tar command

Question about using tar command

I'm having some trouble with the tar command I'm trying to backup all files that end with .config in the /etc directory and then name the backup file backup.tar

So I use this command using the wild card

tar –cvf backup.tar /etc *.config

and all it does it just backup everything in the /etc directory instead of just backing up files that end with .config and gives and error

tar: *.config: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

Not sure what I'm doing wrong

space not getting released

space not getting released

Hello:
We have a Linux 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux system. I deleted a bunch of large files but the space is not getting released to the file system. If I do a du -sk . on the file system it gives me 180G but when I do a df -k it shows 300G used space. I am not able to create new files in that file system because of this. What can I do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thx.

audio output to eg. line-in

audio output to eg. line-in

Hi,

I have problem with my motherboard-integrated sound card. It's line-out jack connector got broken (maybe contact problem).
In Windows I managed to redirect output to the line-in connector, as I don't really use that.
I'd like to do the same for Linux.
I searched the web for solution and seems that I should change my /etc/asound.conf alsa config file.
However from it's documentation I was unable to put together the necessary information.
Could someone please help on this?

root access by email

root access by email

I am looking for something that will notify me by email everytime someone login as root. I have found this script to put in bash file of root. But it doesn't send the IP of person which is logged in as root.
Even that I have read, that there is other ways where can someone pass through to root access and script won't send an email.

Is there more relaible way to get notification by email, tha this below?

1. Login to your server and su to root!

2. cd /root

3. pico .bashrc

4. Scroll to the end of the file then add the following:
echo 'ALERT - Root Shell Access (YourserverName) on:' `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d")" -f1`" you(at)yourdomain.com

Slow auth on samba

Slow auth on samba

Hello All!

I'm in the process of installing a CentOS 6 server in order to do some basic file serving (basic file serving of a sizeable magnitude - 108TB in a server is awesome to look at) and I'm making progress but have hit a slight snag.

I've got the whole thing authenticating against AD and it looks to be working fine, the only problem is that when you connect to the computer it can take up to 10 seconds to connect. Doing a TCP dump of the delay reveals this:

15:10:34.394189 IP 192.168.1.96.42422 > 192.168.3.255.netbios-ns: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST

15:10:41.179525 IP 192.168.1.96.58743 > dcname.domain: 32969+ PTR? 207.21.168.192.in-addr.arpa. (45)

That's seven seconds of it waiting and it's killing me...

To me it looks like it's trying to hit dcname.domain instead of our proper domain name, but I've grep'd the whole server and can find that string nowhere so I don't know where I've misconfigured this thing? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thank you,
Lucas

Okay,

Don't know where to ask or put this request.

I have a server that has webpages for non profit group and expertise with http code editing.
I can can edit and modify from inside LAN. Have several people to help edit, but limited editing skills with code.
Is there a way for them to access and/or login to webpage or folder toedit with limited access from either the webpage itself or FTP to the folder.
Need some suggestions or walkthrough and/or program to help with this.

Server is mostly for webpage for internet, and everything else is LAN with firewall, Nat, Router, Internet sharing. anything else to setup I would need to add.

I do some Linux command line. Did mostly DOS and Windows before. Linux GUI user and Newbie with command line......

New to the Community

New to the Community

So I have been using Linux for about 4 years now. During which I started learning it because it is becoming needed in the IT field, and it has developed to the point that I want to make the switch from Microsoft to Linux.

I have dabbled around with quite a few distros, most of them Debian variants. In the IT world I'm a server virtualization guy that also does IT Consulting work. That is a field that requires you to know a thing or two about Microsoft products. I even worked for them for a year, and after getting a full taste of who they are... It solidified my desires to make the move to what I feel is a more socially responsible format and culture.

So I hope that over time I can be an asset to the Linux community, but for now, label me noob and let's get the beatings overwith ;)

Gnome3 Install issue

Gnome3 Install issue

I hope that I'm posting this in the right area. I just set up Arch Linux on a Dell Studio XPS 7100. It has a ATI Radeon HD 6450 graphics card in it. As I went to install gnome on the machine, a few of the files were "Completely Ignored."

I have used Ubuntu and other Debian based Linux OS's for several years, so I've got some basics, but haven't learned this level of troubleshooting yet. Needless to say when I tried to put in gnome-session it failed to display.

Could someone assist me in getting the proper deamon in place or config to get the display to work so I can get Gnome up on this machine. I'm also open to looking at other display options. I just want to get a good output for a multi-monitor system.

I have been slowly drifting away from Windows and now I want to make my full move away from it. So I started with the newest system I have with the newest video card I have with a distro that I'm not familiar with to start this process. Go for the hardest first type of thing.

Thanks for the help!

Android SDK install

Android SDK install

I don't think the people at the ubuntu forum website will be able to help me, as they never do. My college book doesn't answer this either. But I'm trying to install Android SDK and I'm stuck here....

sound starts at login, then stops shortly after

My sound card worked fine until yesterday when I was pompted to run the Update Manager. After some libraries were updated, it stopped. When I initially login, my sound card is listed under Output in the Sound Preferences window. Then it inexplicably changes to "Dummy Output Stereo". This problem occurs with other accounts on the system. My sound card is a VIA VTI780-A. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. When I type in aplay -l at a shell prompt, I get this output:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1

card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1

Thanks.:confused:

New to Linux: apt-get question

New to Linux: apt-get question

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to Linux, and am having some problems with a Debian Lenny installation on my NAS device. I have the iomega home network media device. I have enabled telnet on the device, and am slowly finding my way around it. In their wisdom, iomega removed the dpkg configuration files in /var/lib/dpkg. I have created blank duplicates of the various files in order to get apt-get to work. I have successfully installed a couple of packages, such as dropbear, and dpkg in now populating the status file with the various new packages installed.

My problem comes when attempting to install something a bit larger such as cups or mysql on the box. These two packages obviously have alot of dependencies on things like perl, python (in the case of cups), etc.

As far as dpkg is concerned, these packages are not installed on the system, even though perl definitely is as it is used for the web frontend of the nas configuration screen. When I try to install them then, the nas tries to install loads of packages which are definitely already installed.

The crux of my question then, is whether, if I run the command 'apt-get install perl', will this break the pre-existing perl installation, or php etc etc??

Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but like I say I am new to linux and Ive heard lots of horror stories about people bricking these iomega nas devices by trying to install a completely custom linux image so I want to work with what Ive got, but just add a few extra bits of functionality.

Thanks.

Why do server daemons use startup scripts?

Why do server daemons use startup scripts?

Why do we the user (or init at startup) use scripts with start and stop arguments to start and stop servers instead of starting or stopping it explicitly like we do normal programs?

Also, whats a convenient way of finding out where the actual binary for a server is instead of just the startup script location?
