Message List – Tribler
-
A workaround is to edit:
/usr/share/tribler/Tribler/Main/tribler.py
and change the line:
app = ABCApp(0, params, single_instance_checker, installdir)
to:
app = ABCApp(1, params, single_instance_checker, installdir) -
Intrepid gives a weird error, apparently due to it not being able to write
to stdout/stderr for some unknown reason. A workaround is to edit:
/usr/share/tribler/Tribler/Main/tribler.py
and change the line:
app = ABCApp(0, params, single_instance_checker, installdir)
to:
app = ABCApp(1, params, single_instance_checker, installdir)
This will popup an extra window showing the debug output that you'll have to
ignore ;o)

Encrypting /mnt using cryptsetup on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy on Amazon EC2 - ec2ubuntu | Google Groups
Though Amazon states that the ephemeral store partitions (e.g., /mnt) are wiped after an instance is terminated, some security minded folks might want to encrypt the data on these disks anyway.
Here is a simple way to set up a level of encryption at the block device using cryptsetup/LUKS. It has been tested on the 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy base install AMI listed on http://alestic.com
RAID 0 on EC2 EBS volumes (Elastic Block Store) using mdadm - ec2ubuntu | Google Groups
Amazon EC2 currently has a limit of 1,000 GB (1 TB) for EBS volumes (Elastic Block Store). It is possible to create file systems larger than this limit using RAID 0 across multiple EBS volumes. Using RAID 0 can also improve the performance of the file system reducing total IO wait as demonstrated in a number of published EBS performance tests.
The following instructions walk through one way to set up RAID 0 across multiple EBS volumes. Note that there is a limit on the size of a file system on 32-bit instances, but 64-bit instances can get unreasonably large. This test was run with 40 EBS volumes of 1,000 GB each for a total of 40,000 GB (40 TB) in the resulting file system.

To use our repository add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.lst file. Each repository includes the library dependencies (which are not on ubuntu yet) needed to run stable/candidate release. There is currently no way to have the release candidate and the release installed at the same time. I am hoping to change this in the future.

[ubuntu] gspca driver will not compile in intrepid - Page 2 - Ubuntu Forums

Re: gspca driver will not compile in intrepid
<!-- / icon and title -->
<!-- message -->
I got my Logitech E2500 to work in cheese and skype on Intrepid (Xubuntu).
The best way is to :
A) install skype from medibuntu depositories
B)And follow the code I got from here http://admiral0.wordpress.com/2008/1...untu-intrepid/
cd ~
mkdir webcam_driver
cd webcam_driver
mkdir v4l
cd v4l
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` v4l/.config
gedit linux/drivers/media/video/gspca/zc3xx.c
#Insert the following line around 7587 and save the file
{USB_DEVICE(0x046d, 0x089d), .driver_info = SENSOR_MC501CB},
make
sudo make install
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it! Reboot and see if cheese works. If it doesn't work, try
sudo modprobe gspca_zc3xx
Works great in cheese with 640x480 resolution, but a little bit dark with 320x240. It's also a bit dark in skype.
Playing around with "options gspca gamma=1 autoexpo=0" doesn't do anything.
Anybody has any idea how to make it lighter in skype?

FreeNX - Community Ubuntu Documentation
FreeNX is a system that allows you to access your desktop from another machine over the internet. You can use this to login graphically to your desktop from a remote location. One example of its use would be to have a FreeNX server set up on your home computer, and graphically logging in to the home computer from your work computer, using a FreeNX client.
It's Open Source, secure (SSH based), fast and versatile!

Lubi, LVPM, UNetbootin, and Bubakup - LVPM
The Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager allows users to upgrade their existing Wubi or Lubi installation to a standard Ubuntu system by transferring all data, settings, and applications from the original install to a dedicated partition. The advantages of upgrading using LVPM are better disk performance and reliability, and the ability to replace the original operating system with Ubuntu.

InstallLirc/Hardy - Community Ubuntu Documentation
Setting up Remote &/or Transmitter
Lirc can be used for IR and RF sending and receiving for many IR and RF remote controls and senders (blasters).
As installed, the default Lirc init scripts are properly setup to handle one receiver and possibly one transmitter. They can be adapted for additional receivers or transmitters, but the setup gets more complicated when doing this.
