[125004600010] |<title>List of RSS Readers Available in Ubuntu Linux</title>
[125004600020] |RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format.
[125004600030] |An RSS document (which is called a “feed”, “web feed”, or “channel”) contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text.
[125004600040] |RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.
[125004600050] |The benefit of RSS is the aggregation of content from multiple Web sources in one place.
[125004600060] |RSS content can be read using software called an “RSS reader”, “feed reader” or an “aggregator”, which can be web-based or desktop-based.
[125004600070] |A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs.
[125004600080] |The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process.
[125004600090] |The RSS reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
[125004600100] |<strong>Liferea</strong>

[125004610020] |Nginx (pronounced “engine x”) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server.
[125004610030] |Written by Igor Sysoev in 2005, Nginx now hosts between 1% and 4% of all domains worldwide.
[125004610040] |Although still in beta, Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.
[125004610050] |Currently Ubuntu Hardy will install Nginx version 0.5.33 using aptitude.
[125004610060] |<strong>Install Nginx webserver in Ubuntu Hardy </strong>
[125004610070] |sudo aptitude install nginx
[125004610080] |This will install all the required packages for nginx.
[125004610090] |<strong>Start Nginx webserver</strong>
[125004610100] |By default nginx will not start automatically so you need to start using the following command
[125004610110] |sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
[125004610120] |<strong>Testing nginx webserver</strong>
[125004610130] |You need to point your web browser and enter your server ip address
[125004610140] |http://serveripaddress
[125004610150] |You should see similar to the following screen.
[125004610160] |<strong>Start and Stop nginx webserver</strong>
[125004610170] |If you want to start,stop and restart using the following commands
[125004610180] |sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start …sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop …sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
[125004610190] |You can check more documentation from <a>here</a>

[125004620010] |<title>Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server and Clients Setup in Ubuntu</title>
[125004620020] |The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
[125004620030] |NTP uses UDP port 123 as its transport layer.
[125004620040] |It is designed particularly to resist the effects of variable latency (Jitter).
[125004620050] |Using NTP is a great way to keep your system clock set correctly.
[125004620060] |It works by contacting a number of servers around the world, asking them for the time and then calculating what the correct local time is from their responses.
[125004620070] |If you have install ntpdate package before you need to uninstall using the following command
[125004620080] |sudo aptitude remove ntpdate
[125004620090] |<strong>Install NTP server in Ubuntu</strong>
[125004620100] |sudo aptitude install ntp
[125004620110] |This will install all the required packages for NTP.
[125004620120] |<strong>Configure NTP Server</strong>
[125004620130] |The configuration file for ntpd is located at /etc/ntp.conf.
[125004620140] |The default Ubuntu file probably requires some modification for optimal performance.You need to edit the /etc/ntp.conf file using the following command
[125004620150] |sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
[125004620160] |do the following changes shown in this example
[125004620170] |<strong>Example Configuration</strong>
[125004620180] |You need to add a number of servers to the server list.
[125004620190] |The Debian default is pool.ntp.org which works but isn’t always amazingly accurate because it makes no attempt to use time servers near you.
[125004620200] |If you want more accuracy use the time servers either on your continent (for instance europe.pool.ntp.org) or your country (for instance uk.pool.ntp.org) one of your local country servers.The optimal number of servers to listen to is three but two will also give a good accuracy.
[125004620210] |If your ISP runs a time server for you it is worth including it in your server list as it will often be more accurate than the pooled servers and will help keep the load down on the pool.
[125004620220] |I am using the following two servers for my configuration
[125004620230] |server ntp0.pipex.net server ntp1.pipex.net
[125004620240] |Restrict the type of access you allow these servers.
[125004620250] |In this example the servers are not allowed to modify the run-time configuration or query your Linux NTP server.
[125004620260] |restrict otherntp.server.org mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery restrict ntp.research.gov mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
[125004620270] |The mask 255.255.255.255 statement is really a subnet mask limiting access to the single IP address of the remote NTP servers.
[125004620280] |If this server is also going to provide time for other computers, such as PCs, other Linux servers and networking devices, then you’ll have to define the networks from which this server will accept NTP synchronization requests.
[125004620290] |You do so with a modified restrict statement removing the noquery keyword to allow the network to query your NTP server.
[125004620300] |The syntax is:
[125004620310] |restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap
[125004620320] |In this case the mask statement has been expanded to include all 255 possible IP addresses on the local network.
[125004620330] |We also want to make sure that localhost (the universal IP address used to refer to a Linux server itself) has full access without any restricting keywords
[125004620340] |restrict 127.0.0.1
[125004620350] |Save the file and exit
[125004620360] |Now you need to restart NTP server for these settings to take effect using the following command
[125004620370] |sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart
[125004620380] |<strong>Determining If NTP Is Synchronized Properly</strong>
[125004620390] |Use the ntpq command to see the servers with which you are synchronized.
[125004620400] |It provided you with a list of configured time servers and the delay, offset and jitter that your server is experiencing with them.
[125004620410] |For correct synchronization, the delay and offset values should be non-zero and the jitter value should be under 100.
[125004620420] |sudo ntpq -np
[125004620430] |In the output of above command A star by any one of the chosen server names means that the system clock is synchronising with the NTP clock.
[125004620440] |If you don’t have a star (as in the example above) it means that the clocks are unreachable, already synchronized to this server or has an outrageous synchronization distance.
[125004620450] |Try running ntpdate (you will need to stop the ntp server) with your first ntp server as an argument.
[125004620460] |This will set your system clock fairly accuratly and mean that the server will be able to choose a clock to synchronize with.
[125004620470] |<strong>Firewall Configuration for NTP</strong>
[125004620480] |NTP servers communicate with one another using UDP with a destination port of 123.
[125004620490] |Unlike most UDP protocols, the source port isn’t a high port (above 1023), but 123 also.
[125004620500] |You’ll have to allow UDP traffic on source/destination port 123 between your server and the Stratum 1/2 server with which you are synchronizing.
[125004620510] |<strong>NTP Linux Client Configuration</strong>
[125004620520] |If you want to configure ntp client you need to install the following packages
[125004620530] |sudo aptitude install ntp ntp-simple ntpdate
[125004620540] |<strong>Configuring NTP client</strong>
[125004620550] |You need to edit the /etc/ntp.conf file you need to point the following settings to NTP server ip address
[125004620560] |sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
[125004620570] |Server configuration settings
[125004620580] |server 192.168.1.1
[125004620590] |Restrict the type of access you allow these servers.
[125004620600] |In this example the servers are not allowed to modify the run-time configuration or query your Linux NTP server.
[125004620610] |restrict default notrust nomodify nopeer
[125004620620] |Localhost configuration
[125004620630] |restrict 192.168.1.1
[125004620640] |In this case the mask statement has been expanded to include all 255 possible IP addresses on the local network.
[125004620650] |We also want to make sure that localhost (the universal IP address used to refer to a Linux server itself) has full access without any restricting keywords
[125004620660] |restrict 127.0.0.1
[125004620670] |Now you need to save and exit the file
[125004620680] |Run ntpdate command against your server
[125004620690] |sudo ntpdate 192.168.1.1
[125004620700] |Restart ntp service using the following command
[125004620710] |sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart
[125004620720] |<strong>Windows Clients Configuration</strong>
[125004620730] |Windows machines use a simplified version of NTP called Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), and can synchronize with NTP servers.
[125004620740] |In order to synchronize with your new server, double click on the time and go to the “Internet Time” tab.
[125004620750] |Put the IP address of your server in the “Server” field.

[125004640010] |<title>Howto Check Wireless link quality in Ubuntu Linux</title>
[125004640020] |Iwspy is used to set a list of addresses to monitor in a wireless network interface and to read back quality of link information for each of those.
[125004640030] |This information is the same as the one available in /proc/net/wireless : quality of the link, signal strength and noise level.This information is updated each time a new packet is received, so each address of the list adds some overhead in the driver.
[125004640040] |Note that this functionality works only for nodes part of the current wireless cell, you can not monitor Access Points you are not associated with (you can use Scanning for that) and nodes in other cells.
[125004640050] |In Managed mode, in most case packets are relayed by the Access Point, in this case you will get the signal strength of the Access Point.
[125004640060] |For those reasons this functionality is mostly useful in Ad-Hoc and Master mode.
[125004640070] |The iwspy command provides statistics on the quality of the link between your NIC and another wireless device on the network.
[125004640080] |It doesn’t run all the time; you have to activate iwspy on your interface first.
[125004640090] |When not activated, iwspy gives a “no statistics to collect” error message.You can try the following commands
[125004640100] |sudo iwspy wlan0
[125004640110] |wlan0: No statistics to collect
[125004640120] |Activation requires you to specify the target IP address and the wireless NIC interface through which it can be found.
[125004640130] |sudo iwspy wlan0 192.168.1.1
[125004640140] |If you use the iwspy command without the IP address it provides WLAN statistics with a typical/reference value against which it can be compared.
[125004640150] |In the example that follows the signal is considered fairly strong, with a 64/92 quality value versus a typical 36/92 value, but it could be weak by the historical values on your network.
[125004640160] |It’s good to check this from time to time for fluctuations.
[125004640170] |sudo iwspy wlan0
[125004640180] |eth0 Statistics collected: 00:09:5B:C9:19:22 : Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Link/Cell/AP : Quality:64/92 Signal level:-51 dBm Noise level:-149 dBm (updated) Typical/Reference : Quality:36/92 Signal level:-62 dBm Noise level:-98 dBm
[125004640190] |To switch off iwspy monitoring, use the following command

[125004660020] |<strong>M</strong>aximum <strong>T</strong>ransmission <strong>U</strong>nit(MTU), the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit.
[125004660030] |Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent.By optimizing the MTU setting you can gain substantial network performance increases, especially when using dial-up modem connections.
[125004660040] |Default MTU Size for Different Network Topology
[125004660050] |To change the MTU of an interface on GNU/Linux, you just need to use ifconfig command to do so, like this for example
[125004660060] |sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
[125004660070] |To change it permanently on Debian, put it in the /etc/network/interfaces file .where almost all network parameters are found.
[125004660080] |To do this, just add a line mtu to the definition of your interface and save the file.
[125004660090] |sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[125004660100] |<strong>Example</strong>
[125004660110] |iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.1 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492

[125004711270] |With MH-E you compose outgoing messages in Emacs.
[125004711280] |This is a big plus for Emacs users, but even non-Emacs users have been known to use MH-E after only learning the most basic cursor motion commands.

[125004720010] |<title>Desktop recording made easy with Byzanz in Ubuntu</title>
[125004720020] |Have you ever been chatting on a website forum and been totally unable to describe an action you’ve performed on Ubuntu?
[125004720030] |“<em>Click the top bar---the grey thing at the top, you know.
[125004720040] |And then drag the icon.
[125004720050] |The blue icon.
[125004720060] |Drag it to the desktop…</em>”
[125004720070] |The fact is that it can be hard describing in words what are simple procedures with a mouse.
[125004720080] |A solution is at hand, however.
[125004720090] |The Byzanz application lets you record your desktop, a window, or a de?ned area of the screen as a movie.
[125004720100] |The resulting ?le is an animated .gif, so is viewable in almost any web browser ever made.
[125004720110] |You could attach it to a forum posting if you’re asking for help, for example.
[125004720120] |The only downside is that the resulting movie ?le can be large, depending on the area you’ve de?ned and the length of the movie.
[125004720130] |Full desktop recordings can easily run in at double-digit megabytes, in fact.
[125004720140] |In Ubuntu Hardy, the package can be installed using Synaptic---search for <em>byzanz</em>.
[125004720150] |Once installed, right-click a blank spot on the top panel and select <em>Add to panel</em>.
[125004720160] |Then select <em>Desktop Recorder</em> from the list.
[125004720170] |Note that Byzanz won’t work correctly if desktop visual effects are enabled---to disable them, click System ---> Preferences ---> Appearance, and then click the <em>Visual Effects</em> tab.
[125004720180] |Then click the <em>None</em> radio button.
[125004720190] |When you’ve finished recording using Byzanz, repeat, and click the Normal or Extra.
[125004720200] |Once the application’s icon appears on the panel, click the small down arrow to select to record the desktop, an area of it, or a particular window.
[125004720210] |When selecting to record an area of the desktop, the screen will turn black and you should click and drag to de?ne where you want to record (the screen turning black is an unfortunate bug, and you’ll have to try and remember where on the desktop it is you want to record).
[125004720220] |If you select to record a program window, the mouse will turn to a crosshairs---just click on the window you want to record.
[125004720230] |Following this, recording will start.
[125004720240] |The Byzanz icon will turn to a red circle to indicate this.
[125004720250] |When you’ve ?nished, click the red circle to stop recording.
[125004720260] |You’ll then be prompted to save the movie ?le.
[125004720270] |Bear in mind that resulting movie .gif ?les won’t play in Ubuntu’s default image viewer (Eye of GNOME), which will open when you double-click the ?le.
[125004720280] |You’ll see nothing but the ?rst frame.
[125004720290] |Instead, you must play them in Firefox to see the full animation.
[125004720300] |To do this, right-click the ?le, and select <em>Open With ---> Open with “Firefox Web Browser”</em>.
[125004720310] |Here’s an example I just recorded---a few seconds of shell work.
[125004720320] |Click to make bigger.
[125004720330] |It comes to just 64KB.
[125004720340] |Not bad.
[125004720350] |Certainly sendable in an email to somebody to show them how something is done, or postable on a forum without being guilty of overloading the server.

[125004740020] |The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by login after a successful login but just before it executes the login shell.
[125004740030] |The abbreviation “motd” stands for “message of the day”, and this file has been traditionally used for exactly that (it requires much less disk space than mail to all users).
[125004740040] |If you want to change this message in ubuntu server follow this procedure first you need to edit /etc/motd.tail file
[125004740050] |sudo vi /etc/motd.tail
[125004740060] |Enter your message save and exit the file
[125004740070] |Now you can restart your ubuntu server to check your changes are working or not
[125004740080] |<strong>For Ubuntu Intrepid Users</strong>
[125004740090] |There is a new package that provides this functionality with more options, called update-motd, available in Ubuntu Universe for Intrepid.
[125004740100] |<strong>Install update-motd in Ubuntu Intrepid</strong>
[125004740110] |sudo aptitude install update-motd
[125004740120] |This will complete the installation
[125004740130] |This package seeks to make the /etc/motd (Message of the Day) more dynamic and valuable, by providing a simple, clean framework for defining scripts whose output will regularly be written to /etc/motd.
[125004740140] |The update-motd package creates a directory, /etc/update-motd.d, and installs a cronjob, /etc/cron.d/update-motd, which calls /usr/sbin/update-motd every 10 minutes (by default).
[125004740150] |/usr/sbin/update-motd uses run-parts to execute each script in /etc/update-motd.d in lexigraphic order, concatenating the results with the message-of-the-day header, /etc/motd.tail.
[125004740160] |In this way, users, or even other packages can drop scripts into /etc/update-motd.d to affect the MOTD.
[125004740170] |<strong>Example</strong>
[125004740180] |create a script, such as /etc/update-motd.d/10-stats
[125004740190] |sudo vi /etc/update-motd.d/10-stats
[125004740200] |add the following lines and save the file.
[125004740210] |#!/bin/sh echo date echo who echo 
[125004740220] |Make sure you chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/10-stats.Then, you can either run /usr/bin/update-motd, or uptimeWait ~10 minutes and then log in.
[125004740230] |This is very simple and great idea where you can see whatever information you want when you login in to your server.

[125004760010] |<title>Howto select Per-user Editor in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)</title>
[125004760020] |When a program in Ubuntu such as crontab -e or dch -i, is used to edit a file, it uses a helper program called sensible-editor.
[125004760030] |sensible-editor attempts to intelligently find an editor on your system based on a few simple rules.
[125004760040] |Basically, if you haven’t already defined $EDITOR, it will use one of {nano, nano-tiny, vi}, in that order.
[125004760050] |Now, it’s well understood that nano is easier to use than vi to a new Ubuntu user.
[125004760060] |And it’s assumed that if you are sophisticated enough to want a different editor, then you likely already know how to change that setting.
[125004760070] |Traditionally, this can be done in one of two ways.
[125004760080] |You can edit your ~/.bashrc file to export an EDITOR value of your choosing.
[125004760090] |Of course, that requires that you have a usable editor with which you can modify that file!
[125004760100] |If you are an administrator of the system, you can set the default editor for the entire system:
[125004760110] |sudo update-alternatives <code>--</code>config editor
[125004760120] |So we have a new utility in ubuntu intrepid, /usr/bin/select-editor, which uses update-alternatives <code>--</code>list to display a list of editors present on the system and prompt the user to select one.
[125004760130] |The selection is written to ~/.selected_editor.
[125004760140] |The default selection remains nano, but for those of us installing dozens of Ubuntu systems every week and looking for a more powerful editor, we now have a really convenient, friendly mechanism for each user on an Ubuntu system to interactively choose an editor preference the first time they need one!
[125004760150] |Thanks to <a>Dustin</a> for this package.
[125004770010] |<title>Install google chrome with wine in Ubuntu</title>
[125004770020] |Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google.
[125004770030] |The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or “chrome”, of web browsers.Chromium is the name of the open source project behind Google Chrome,released under the BSD license.
[125004770040] |Note:- Wine 1.1.4 has been released, and includes fixes for running Chrome.You need to make sure you have the wine version 1.1.4 installed
[125004770050] |<strong>Install latest wine in Ubuntu </strong>
[125004770060] |New WINE releases arrive every two weeks; the version in Ubuntu 8.04’s repository is already out-of-date.
[125004770070] |To be able to run Windows applications as well as possible, you should stay with the latest WINE releases.
[125004770080] |<strong>Using GUI</strong>
[125004770090] |Open System->Administration->Software Sources, and select the Third Party Software tab.
[125004770100] |Click Add and paste in the official WINE Ubuntu repository
[125004770110] |deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main
[125004770120] |When prompted, reload the repositories.
[125004770130] |Install the package wine from your package manager.
[125004770140] |Whenever a new version of WINE is released, you should see it in your Ubuntu updates.
[125004770150] |<strong>Using Command line</strong>
[125004770160] |First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list
[125004770170] |sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[125004770180] |add the following line save and exit
[125004770190] |deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main
[125004770200] |Update the source list file using the following command
[125004770210] |sudo aptitude update
[125004770220] |Install wine using the following command
[125004770230] |sudo aptitude install wine
[125004770240] |After installing you can check the wine version using the following command
[125004770250] |wine <code>--</code>version
[125004770260] |You need to make sure wine version is 1.1.4
[125004770270] |Google’s net-installer for Chrome doesn’t work in Wine.
[125004770280] |Instead, use the standalone installer.Download it from here http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/install/149.27/chrome_installer.exe
[125004770290] |Now you need to Open a terminal to and change to the directory you downloaded the installer to.
[125004770300] |Run the installer with Wine using the following command
[125004770310] |wine chrome_installer.exe
[125004770320] |The installation should complete.Now you need to Start Google Chrome and the Chrome window should open, but will appear to be broken.
[125004770330] |Close Chrome for now.
[125004770340] |Run Chome with the<code>–-</code>new-http and <code>–-</code>in-process-plugins options to make it work (the command below is all one line):
[125004770350] |wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe <code>--</code>new-http <code>--</code>in-process-plugins
[125004770360] |Use the previous command whenever you want to start Chrome.
[125004770370] |At this point Chrome is working fine, but the fonts are not good looking.
[125004770380] |The fonts can be improved by using winetricks
[125004770390] |Install winetricks using the following commands
[125004770400] |wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
[125004770410] |chmod +x winetricks

[125004800010] |<title>Howto solve all PulseAudio-related issues in Ubuntu</title>
[125004800020] |<strong>By doing this procedure you will get the following</strong>
[125004800030] |<li>Fully functional audio in all applications, including those currently incompatible with PulseAudio (e.g. Audacity, Blender, Skype, Second Life + voice chat, Flash)</li> 
[125004800040] |<li>The ability to use these applications side by side (using software sound mixing provided by ALSA or ESD)</li> 
[125004800050] |<strong>By doing this procedure you will lose the following</strong>
[125004800060] |<li>Ubuntu’s login and logout sounds (and any other system sounds you may have added to the default set)</li> 
[125004800070] |Note:- This might disable complete your sound system use at your own risk
[125004800080] |<strong>To implement the fix, perform the following steps</strong>
[125004800090] |<li>Open the sound configuration panel (System >Preferences >Sound).</li> 
[125004800100] |<li>On the “devices” tab, set all devices to “ALSA”.</li> 
[125004800110] |<li>On the “sounds” tab, disable “play system sounds”.</li> 
[125004800120] |<li>Leave “software sound mixing (ESD)” enabled.</li> 
[125004800130] |<li>Close the panel.</li> 
[125004800140] |<img/>Open a terminal window (Applications >Accessories >Terminal).
[125004800150] |Enter the following commands:
[125004800160] |sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[125004800170] |sudo apt-get install esound
[125004800180] |exit
[125004800190] |-- or -- Use the following procedure for GUI method
[125004800200] |Open Synaptic (System >Administration >Synaptic Package Manager).
[125004800210] |Search for the package “pulseaudio” and mark it for removal.
[125004800220] |Search for the package “esound” and mark it for installation.
[125004800230] |Apply the changes, then quit Synaptic.
[125004800240] |Restart the computer.
[125004800250] |<strong>Remarks</strong>
[125004800260] |This will remove PulseAudio and replace it with ESD.
[125004800270] |The resulting sound setup will be similar to Ubuntu 7.10 and previous versions.
[125004800280] |Any issues unrelated to PulseAudio will not be affected in any way.
[125004800290] |To restore the original setup, install the packages “pulseaudio” and “pulseaudio-esound-compat”, then re-enable system sounds.
[125004800300] |If you really want the login sound, you can do this:
[125004800310] |Create a script file with the following lines:
[125004800320] |#!/bin/bash aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav

[125004820010] |<title>PulseAudio Fixes &System-Wide Equalizer Support in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)</title>
[125004820020] |This guide is specially designed to fix certain issues present with Ubuntu Hardy’s current implementation of PulseAudio and to enable equalized output.
[125004820030] |Note:- This is having some packages installed from third party repositories so use at your own risk.
[125004820040] |<strong>Developer Note</strong>
[125004820050] |<li>Before you start: Please read the following points to find out if you should use this guide.</li> 
[125004820060] |<li>This guide is intended only for Ubuntu 8.04.
[125004820070] |Although many steps work for the development release (Intrepid), there are kernel issues in the Intrepid release that I will not currently support in this thread.</li> 
[125004820080] |<li>If you are running Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu 8.04, this guide is not for you (as PulseAudio is not used for these distribution flavours).</li> 
[125004820090] |<li>If you cannot get sound working under any circumstances, then you are probably suffering from a kernel or ALSA bug - this guide is probably not for you.</li> 
[125004820100] |<li>If you have a brand-new sound card that is not supported in ALSA, and/or you are using OSS v4 - this guide is not for you.</li> 
[125004820110] |<li>If you notice a lot of stuttering sound on your system, especially since upgrading to the Hardy release, this guide is for you.</li> 
[125004820120] |<li>If you can get sound working in some applications but not others, or you find that audio mixing is broken, this guide is for you.</li> 
[125004820130] |If you wish to have equalized sound system-wide, this guide is for you.
[125004820140] |<strong>Procedure to follow</strong>

[125004840010] |<title>How to use Magic System Request Keys in Ubuntu Linux</title>
[125004840020] |The magic SysRq keys are key combinations within the Linux kernel that allows the user to perform various low level commands regardless of the system’s state, except during kernel panics or freezes.
[125004840030] |It is often used to recover from X-Server freezes, or to reboot a computer without corrupting the filesystem.
[125004840040] |<strong>Restarting Ubuntu safely when it is frozen</strong>
[125004840050] |If anyone faces a freeze with Ubuntu where you cannot do anything, then this will certainly be helpful if you want to reboot the OS as cleanly as possible without damaging their HDD’s or losing their data.
[125004840060] |In case of a freeze where you cannot do anything, simply press Alt+PrintScreen+R+E+I+S+U+B, keep in mind that the underlined keys must be kept pressed through the rest of the sequence AND that you will need to keep holding the sequence keys for a small period of time before going to the next one so that their actions can be carried out properly (For example, hold the R key for about 1-2 seconds before moving on to S).
[125004840070] |If the sequence does not work at first, then increase the time period between each sequence key press and try again.
[125004840080] |If anyone requires a good way of remembering the sequence R+E+I+S+U+B, just remember “<strong>R</strong>eboot <strong>E</strong>ven <strong>I</strong>f <strong>S</strong>ystem <strong>U</strong>tterly <strong>B</strong>roken”.
[125004840090] |Raw (take control of keyboard back from X), tErminate (kill -15 programs, allowing them to terminate gracefully), kIll (kill -9 unterminated programs), Sync (flush data to disk), Unmount (remount everything read-only), reBoot.
[125004840100] |NOTE:- This keystroke does not work in the event of a kernel freeze as the keystroke sequence depends on the kernel in order to unmount and make the required steps before the restart.
[125004840110] |<strong>Safely shutting down Ubuntu when it is frozen</strong>
[125004840120] |The key sequence to achieve this does not differ from the one used to restart Ubuntu safely except for the last key.
[125004840130] |So here it is as follows:-
[125004840140] |Alt+PrintScreen+R+S+E+I+U+O, keep in mind that as in the previous sequence, the underlined keys must be kept pressed through the rest of the sequence AND that you will need to keep holding the sequence keys for a small period of time before going to the next one so that their actions can be carried out properly.
[125004840150] |If someone requires a good description on what each keystroke here does, there is not much of a difference from the last one, except(Once again),the final key:-
[125004840160] |Raw (take control of keyboard back from X), tErminate (kill -15 programs, allowing them to terminate gracefully), kIll (kill -9 unterminated programs), Sync (flush data to disk), Unmount (remount everything read-only), shutdown.
[125004840170] |NOTE:- This keystroke does not work in the event of a kernel freeze as the keystroke sequence depends on the kernel in order to unmount and make the required steps before the shutdown.
[125004840180] |<strong>Brief descriptions about the keys you can use in magic SysRq sequences</strong>
[125004840190] |0 - 9 - sets the console log level, controlling which kernel messages will be printed to your console so that you don’t get flooded.
[125004840200] |B - restarts the system without making steps to ensure that the conditions are good for a safe reboot, using this key alone is like doing a cold reboot.
[125004840210] |E - sends SIGTERM to all processes except init.
[125004840220] |This means that an attempt is done to end the current processes except init, safely, e.g. saving a document.
[125004840230] |F - call oom_kill(Out Of Memory Killer), which will kill a process that is consuming all available memory.
[125004840240] |H - displays help about the SysRq keys on a terminal though in actuality you can use any key except for the ones specified, to display help.
[125004840250] |I - sends SIGKILL to all processes except init.
[125004840260] |This means that all the processes except for init are killed, any data in processes that are killed will be lost.
[125004840270] |K - kills all processes on the current terminal.
[125004840280] |It is a bad idea to do this on a console where X is running as the GUI will stop and you can’t see what you type, so you will need to switch to a tty after doing the magic SysRq.
[125004840290] |L - sends SIGKILL to all processes, including init.
[125004840300] |This means that every process including init will be killed, using this key will render your system non-functional and no further magicSysRq keys can be used.
[125004840310] |So in this case you will have to cold reboot it.
[125004840320] |M - dumps memory info to your console.
[125004840330] |O - shuts down the system via ACPI or in older systems, APM.
[125004840340] |As in key “B”, using this key alone is like a cold reboot(Or in this case, a cold shutdown).
[125004840350] |P - dumps the current registers and flags to your console.
[125004840360] |Q - dumps all timers info to your console.
[125004840370] |R - takes keyboard and mouse control from the X server.
[125004840380] |This can be useful if the X-Server crashed, you can change to a console and kill the X-Server or check the error log.
[125004840390] |NOTE:- The documentation refers to this key’s task as “Turns off keyboard raw mode and sets it to XLATE”, but we suppose it’s safe enough to assume that it takes back control from X.
[125004840400] |S - writes all data from the disc cache to the hard-discs, it is a sync and is necessary to reduce the chances of data corruption.
[125004840410] |T - dumps a list of current tasks and info to your console.
[125004840420] |U - remounts all mounted filesystems read-only.
[125004840430] |After using this key, you can reboot the system with Alt+SysRq+B without harming the system.
[125004840440] |W - dumps uninterruptable (blocked) state tasks.
[125004840450] |<strong>Controlling the use of SysRq keys</strong>
[125004840460] |There are some ways of controlling the use of SysRq keys(i.e. what can be used, enabling or disabling them completely), two ways of doing this are:-
[125004840470] |1) Configuring the SysRq keys during kernel compilation itself.
[125004840480] |There isn’t much here since you can only disable SysRq keys and not actually control or define what you can and can’t use.
[125004840490] |The option you are looking for is:-
[125004840500] |MAGIC_SYSRQ
[125004840510] |2) Using proc sysrq trigger calls.
[125004840520] |This is much more flexible than changing the configuration of the kernel but this has one downside with security which is explained after(since it is very minor).
[125004840530] |You use the echo command to achieve this for ease but you could also use any normal text editor to achieve this.
[125004840540] |Now the command is(you will need root permissions):-
[125004840550] |echo * >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrqwhere “*” is a number, which can be any one of these:-
[125004840560] |0 - disable sysrq keys completely
[125004840570] |1 - enable all functions of sysrq
[125004840580] |2 - enable control of console logging level
[125004840590] |4 - enable control of keyboard (SAK, unraw)
[125004840600] |8 - enable debugging dumps of processes etc.
[125004840610] |16 - enable sync command
[125004840620] |32 - enable remount read-only
[125004840630] |64 - enable signalling of processes (term, kill, oom-kill)
[125004840640] |128 - allow reboot/poweroff
[125004840650] |256 - allow nicing of all RT tasks(control the nice level(priority) of Real Time tasks)
[125004840660] |So you can define what SysRq keys can be used, and also define whether they are all on or off.
[125004840670] |Now for the “downside”.
[125004840680] |For example you disable SysRq keys when you want to stop people(local) from doing key presses and then shutting down or messing up the PC during an important task.
[125004840690] |Now with configuring the kernel, you can stop SysRq keys from being used at all from the beginning of the boot process right uptil the end, with calling the proc sysrq triggers however, your option only takes place when it is executed(i.e. after the system has booted up) so there is a certain area of vulnerability with calling the triggers whereas there is no such thing in configuring the kernel, some people are that desperate to secure their systems to care about a few seconds, however do not blame me for it.
[125004840700] |Something about the magicSysRq keys is that they can be used in any sequence and in any way to achieve the required objective, for example you can just press Alt+SysRq+B to do something like a cold reboot.
