Ubuntu

I’ve Upgraded my Ubuntu box to Ubuntu 17.04 to fix one issue and created another issue. This after my USB WiFi card would not connect to the network. I could see the network and it would try to connect but timed out after a minute or so. lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 17.04 Release: 17.04 Codename: zesty lsusb Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter ...

I’ve read somewhere that GNS3 runs better on Linux and I had some spare cycles on a Hyper-V host. I configured a VM with 16GB of RAM and I was able to get GNS3 up and running on Ubuntu 14.1 using the steps I will be documenting below. Since we will be installing from the source files from the git repository on Github.com, you will need to install git: sudo apt-get install git ...

My iPXE setup is coming along just lovely, and it is working out just fine. My goal is to avoid scurrying around like a headless chicken looking for USB flash drives and optical media whenever I have to work on someone’s system. This part usually takes the most out of me when I am fixing a system as I can never seem to find install media, usb drives and my tools. I sure wish I could network boot my tools! I’m trying to become more organized in that regard :-). ...

I grabbed this card from my local computer shop without doing any research. I was very excited and eager to get my home NAS up and running. I was soon disappointed after installing and configuring one hard drive. I was using freeNas then and the write speeds where terribly slow. This was one of the main reasons why I started looking for another NAS solution other than freeNAS. When I migrated to OpenMediaVault this card seemed to have much better Linux support. The I/O speeds were very decent and in spite of this this card always seemed unstable and even though I kept having unstable behavior with hard drives I never made the connection that this card was the root cause. If I had any clue that this was the case I perhaps would not have been so eager with my move to RAID and would have delayed my migration until after I had found a reliable replacement. Alas, you lose data to learn and I lost over 500GB worth of movies and tv shows. ...

This was harder to accomplish that I thought it would be. I am accustomed to doing this by changing the runlevel in /etc/init.d/inittab. With upstart this has become very foggy for me. Thanks to this Link, I was able to get this done. Step1:Just edit /etc/default/grub with your favourite editor: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub find out this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash text” Step2: Update grub and done! ...

The machine on 192.168.1.153 is my server running Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS. I installed the tftp-hpa package: aptitude install tftpd-hpa Now the files were in place so I needed to tell inetd.conf to find the files in that folder, so edited /etc/inetd.conf. Source
