[125007020010] |<title>Encrypted $HOME Now Offerred at Installation</title>
[125007020020] |Ubuntu Karmic Alpha5 image now offers home directory encryption as an option to all installing users!.We introduced Encrypted Private Directories in the Ubuntu 8.10 release, using eCryptfs (an enterprise cryptographic filesystem in the Linux kernel) on $HOME/Private.
[125007020030] |This release helped “prove” eCryptfs, and helped us identify and fix a number of issues.
[125007020040] |This new approach to encrypted private data in Ubuntu provided a safe folder where users could store confidential information, automatically mounted at login, and unmounted at logout.
[125007020050] |In Ubuntu 9.04, we retained the Encrypted Private Directory feature, but additionally offered Encrypted Home Directories to advanced users, through the alternate installer and a special boot parameter.
[125007020060] |This release generated quite a bit of interest in the feature and a healthy user community.
[125007020070] |Many, many thanks to the Ubuntu users and developers who used this feature, helping to file and fix bugs along the way.

[125007030010] |<title>How to enable/disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)</title>
[125007030020] |Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (i.e. the shortcut which was used to restart the X server) has to be enabled in a different way with respect to previous releases of Ubuntu.
[125007030030] |This is due to the fact that “DontZap” is no longer an option in the X server and has become an option in XKB instead.
[125007030040] |<strong>Using GNOME</strong>
[125007030050] |* Get to the System->Preferences->Keyboard menu.
[125007030060] |* Select the “Layouts” tab and click on the “Layout Options” button.
[125007030070] |* Then select “Key sequence to kill the X server” and enable “Control + Alt + Backspace”.
[125007030080] |<strong>Using KDE</strong>
[125007030090] |* Launch “systemsettings”
[125007030100] |* Select “Regional &Language”.
[125007030110] |* Select “Keyboard Layout”.
[125007030120] |* Click on “Enable keyboard layouts” (in the Layout tab).
[125007030130] |* Select the “Advanced” tab.
[125007030140] |Then select “Key sequence to kill the X server” and enable “Control + Alt + Backspace”.
[125007030150] |<strong>Using the command line</strong>
[125007030160] |You can type the following command to enable Zapping immediately.
[125007030170] |setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
[125007030180] |If you’re happy with the new behaviour you can add that command to your ~/.xinitrc in order to make the change permanent.
[125007030190] |<strong>Using HAL</strong>
[125007030200] |You can add the following line in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi (inside the <match key=”info.capabilities” contains=”input.keys”> section):
[125007030210] |<code><merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge></code>

[125007080010] |<title>Howto install latest Epiphany (webkit) Browser in Jaunty</title>
[125007080020] |Epiphany is the web browser for the GNOME desktop.
[125007080030] |Its goal is to be simple and easy to use.
[125007080040] |Epiphany ties together many GNOME components in order to let you focus on the Web content, instead of the browser application.
[125007080050] |As part of the GNOME project, Epiphany is Free Software.
[125007080060] |Epiphany displays webpages with the same speed and accuracy as other popular browsers, such as Safari or Firefox.
[125007080070] |In addition, it provides an elegant, responsive and uncomplicated user interface that fits in perfectly with GNOME, and it has been translated to over sixty languages!
[125007080080] |<strong>Epiphany Features</strong>
[125007080090] |<strong>Security</strong>
[125007080100] |Epiphany shows you clearly if the information you enter on a webpage is transmitted securely.
[125007080110] |It can block popup windows, refuse cookies from untrusted sites and store your passwords in a safe place.
[125007080120] |With Epiphany, you can rest assured that your online privacy is being guarded.
[125007080130] |<strong>Customizable user interface</strong>
[125007080140] |Epiphany lets you arrange user interface elements by simply dragging and dropping with your mouse.
[125007080150] |It also provides tabs, so you can easily organize related webpages on your computer screen.
[125007080160] |<strong>Smart bookmarks</strong>
[125007080170] |Smart bookmarks make it a snap to lookup text in online knowledge bases, like dictionaries or search engines.
[125007080180] |Also, you don’t have to keep track of in which subfolder you put that one bookmark -- just assign it some topic(s) and Epiphany will show you the relevant bookmarks in a dropdown menu.
[125007080190] |<strong>Extensions and plugins</strong>
[125007080200] |Need some specialized browser function that’s not available in the default menus?
[125007080210] |There’s a good chance someone has already written an extension for you.
[125007080220] |The Epiphany Extensions package is what you will need.

[125007170040] |You can view and edit the files similar to a normal USB disk drive. iFuse does not require “jailbreaking” or voiding your warranty and works without needing extra software installed on the phone (such as `ssh`).
[125007170050] |libiphone is a software library that talks the native Apple USB protocols that the iPhone uses.
[125007170060] |Unlike other projects, `libiphone` does not depends on using any existing `.dll` or `.so` libraries from Apple.
[125007170070] |iFuse is a FUSE filesystem driver which uses `libiphone` to connect to devices without jailbreak. iFuse is using the native Apple “AFC” protocol, over the normal USB cable in order to access the iPhone’s (or iPod Touch’s) media files under Linux.
[125007170080] |Once the iPhone is mounted, you can copy on, or copy off any media files that live inside the `/var/root/Media` chroot directory.
[125007170090] |This includes photographs and music files.
[125007170100] |<strong>Install iFuse in Ubuntu</strong>

[125007190020] |This tutorial will explain Howto setup Networking (Wired and Wireless) on Asus eeePC 1005HA,1008HA in ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)
[125007190030] |<strong>For Wired connection</strong>
[125007190040] |First you need to download AR81Family Linux Driver from <a>here</a> at the time of writing AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz version (use a usb device,because you probably don’t have network).I am providing the AR81Family Linux Driver download from <a>here</a>
[125007190050] |Now you need to extract this file
[125007190060] |tar -xzvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz
[125007190070] |cd AR81*

[125007190120] |That’s it now you should be having your wired network is working
[125007190130] |Note:- If you are using 2.6.30+ kernels you will need to modify kcompat.h from

[125007190150] |to
[125007190160] |#define IRQ_HANDLED 1 #define IRQ_NONE 0
[125007190170] |Also, don’t use the atl1c driver from 2.6.30+ as it doesn’t work
[125007190180] |You can check which linux headers you have to install using the following command
[125007190190] |uname -r
[125007190200] |<strong>For Wireless Connection </strong>
[125007190210] |Once with the wired network installed, you can simply install this package to get the wireless network

[125007210020] |* new helper script “add-apt-repository” that can be used to enable a repository from the commandline.
[125007210030] |Useful for e.g.’add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-desktop’
[125007210040] |I gave it a try with `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jpeddicord`.
[125007210050] |Not only did it add an entry to sources.list.d, it also fetched the GPG key automatically.
[125007210060] |Out of curiosity, I opened software-properties-gtk (system >admin >software sources) and tried to add a PPA on the third-party software tab.
[125007210070] |Using the same syntax for the add-apt-repository command, it worked.
[125007210080] |Didn’t appear to grab the GPG key at first, but after restarting the interface the key was indeed there.This is awesome, and definitely lowers the barrier for adding PPAs to a system.

[125007220020] |Adblock Plus is an extension for Firefox, Thunderbird, and several other applications with the primary goal of removing advertisements.

[125007240010] |<title>Howto install PlayOnLinux in Karmic/Jaunty/Intrepid/Hardy</title>
[125007240020] |<strong>What is PlayOnLinux ?</strong>
[125007240030] |PlayOnLinux is a piece of sofware which allows you to easily install and use numerous games and softwares designed to run with Microsoft®’s Windows®.
[125007240040] |Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system.
[125007240050] |PlayOnLinux brings an accessible and efficient solution to this problem, cost-free and rescpetful of the free softwares.
[125007240060] |<strong>What are PlayOnLinux’s features?</strong>
[125007240070] |Here is a non-exhaustive list of the interesting points to know:
[125007240080] |* You don’t have to own a Windows® license to use PlayOnLinux.
[125007240090] |* PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its possibilities yet it keeps the user away from its complexity while exploiting some of its advanced functions.
[125007240100] |* PlayOnLinux is a free software.
[125007240110] |* PlayOnLinux uses Bash and Python
[125007240120] |Nevertheless, PlayOnLinux has some defects, as every piece of software:
[125007240130] |* Occasional performances decrease (image may be less fluid and graphics less detailed).
[125007240140] |* Not all games are supported.
[125007240150] |Nevertheless, you can use our manual installation module.

[125007250020] |An official version of Google Chrome has been available to try out for several months.
[125007250030] |It fully supports flash and extensions, is super fast to both start-up and load pages and is so incredibly stable you will wonder why it’s not already been signed off and labeled “beta” already!
[125007250040] |Below are 10 reasons why i think it should be your default browser.
[125007250050] |Speed #1
[125007250060] |First things first – Chrome is super fast.
[125007250070] |Quick, swift, pronto, whatever! it’s really fast at loading pages.
[125007250080] |Try two pages side-by-side in Firefox and Chrome and see.
[125007250090] |Speed #2 A common complaint about Firefox in Ubuntu is the time it takes to start-up/launch/open.
[125007250100] |It’s not the most instant launching application!
[125007250110] |Chrome, however, opens pretty much instantly allowing you to not have to waste time waiting to be able to do what you need to…
[125007250120] |Extensions
[125007250130] |“<em>I’ll switch to chrome when it get’s adblocker!!
[125007250140] |Until then no way!!”</em>
[125007250150] |This may or may not be a shock to you – but <strong>Google Chrome already has extensions</strong>!
[125007250160] |Tons of them!
[125007250170] |Including: -
[125007250180] |<li><a>Adblockers</a></li>
[125007250190] |<li>YouTube video downloader’s</li>

[125007260060] |Before Starting this Make sure you have the Latest Kernel.
[125007260070] |As of right now its .15 But if there is one Higher Make sure you have it before performing the steps below.
[125007260080] |First lets check to make sure you have the latest Kernel version before we proceed.
[125007260090] |From the Terminal run the following command
[125007260100] |uname -a
[125007260110] |This will display your Kernel version.
[125007260120] |If it is 2.6.28.15 or Higher You are done.
[125007260130] |And continue down below.
[125007260140] |If it is not then do the following steps
[125007260150] |sudo apt-get update
[125007260160] |sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[125007260170] |Reboot
[125007260180] |go back into a terminal
[125007260190] |uname -a
[125007260200] |Make sure your Upgrade happened.
[125007260210] |If it did and you want to get rid of your old Kernel you can do
[125007260220] |sudo apt-get autoremove
[125007260230] |Once you have latest kernel in place follow this procedure
[125007260240] |Add this to your repository
[125007260250] |sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-mobile.list
[125007260260] |add these 2 lines
[125007260270] |deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
[125007260280] |Save and exit
[125007260290] |Now you need to authenticate the keys
[125007260300] |gpg <code>--</code>keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <code>--</code>search-keys ubuntu-mobile
[125007260310] |Press 1 and Enter
[125007260320] |gpg -a <code>--</code>output /tmp/pub.asc <code>--</code>export C6598A30
[125007260330] |sudo apt-key add /tmp/pub.asc &&rm /tmp/pub.asc
[125007260340] |Now that your Ubuntu-Mobile Key is added do the Following.
[125007260350] |The Following Packages need to be Installed Most are Dependences.
[125007260360] |* psb-firmware - Binary firmware for the Poulsbo (psb) 3D X11 driver
[125007260370] |* psb-modules - Kernel module built for -generic or -lpia kernel
[125007260380] |* psb-kernel-source - Kernel module for the Poulsbo (psb) 2D X11 driver
[125007260390] |* psb-kernel-headers - Kernel module headers for the Poulsbo (psb) 2D X11 driver

[125007260420] |* poulsbo-driver-2d - Metapackage for the 2D Poulsbo (psb) X11 driver.
[125007260430] |From a Terminal run the following commands
[125007260440] |sudo apt-get update
[125007260450] |sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d psb-firmware
[125007260460] |Reboot your system
[125007260470] |Make sure you have NO USB devices Hooked up as this will cause conflicting results with the poulsbo-driver-3d drivers. (see fix below for stability)
[125007260480] |Once rebooted open a terminal and make a back up of your xorg.conf file.(fresh install may have a null xorg.conf file this is normal and ok)
[125007260490] |sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[125007260500] |Open up your xorg.conf and add the below contents inside it.

[125007260520] |Make the Section “Device” Look like this :
[125007260530] |Section “Device” Identifier “Configured Video Device” Option “AccelMethod” “EXA” Option “DRI” “off” Option “MigrationHeuristic” “greedy” EndSection
[125007260540] |(Optional) add the following to the bottom of your xorg.conf file this will allow you to be able to do a CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart your GUI/X11 session.
[125007260550] |Section “ServerFlags” Option “DontZap” “False” EndSection 
[125007260560] |Reboot one last time and you should be rocking and rolling.
[125007260570] |Now what this did is allow the 3d Drivers to be installed and are in Partial use.
[125007260580] |Compiz and any other 3d Software “May” Not work I haven’t 100% tested it.
[125007260590] |But modifying your xorg.conf with the above setting will allow you to be able to use External USB Devices with out random freezes.
[125007260600] |If you have a fresh install you may need to recheck your xorg.conf file after you reboot as when the xserver configures itself it may put back the default settings.
[125007260610] |Those that had xserver setup before hand you should be fine.
[125007260620] |But if you feel that something isnt right, you may want to go and check your xorg.conf file again and be sure that the options are still there.
[125007260630] |Leave out the xorg.conf if you don’t plan on using anything USB.
[125007260640] |Although since your keyboard / touch-pad is technically USB I still had random Freezes Have 3d Enabled.
[125007260650] |So I Highly Recommend using my xorg.conf example.
[125007260660] |I have had great success with it.
[125007260670] |For those who are getting DRM errors after Upgrading from / to a new Kernel after doing the Old Procedures I had listed here do the following.
[125007260680] |sudo apt-get install psb-kernel-source
[125007260690] |Reboot and then you should be good to go again.
[125007260700] |You may want to add the 3d to give you some extra performance.
[125007260710] |If so just start from the top of this message and start from the beginning like you where installing for the first time. and that should do the trick.
[125007260720] |<strong>Working with compiz and 3D effects</strong>
[125007260730] |Open A Terminal
[125007260740] |sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[125007260750] |You should find a line that looks like this (your root UUID and kernel version will/may vary)
[125007260760] |kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic root=UUID=c34d1d57-59d3-4f6f-abc1-fd83aea4 ro quiet splash
[125007260770] |Change it to this (bold is to emphasize what needs changing)
[125007260780] |kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic root=UUID=c34d1d57-59d3-4f6f-abc1-fd83aea4 ro quiet nosplash mem=786mb
[125007260790] |This tells grub to force the kernel to recognize only 786mb of the installed 1GB, leaving 238mb free for the graphics adapter to use.
[125007260800] |The “nosplash” option prevents any sexy graphics being displayed during boot.
[125007260810] |Now for Compiz.
[125007260820] |sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz
[125007260830] |Look for the following line
[125007260840] |WHITELIST=”nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx”
[125007260850] |Change it to this:
[125007260860] |WHITELIST=”psb nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx”
[125007260870] |Now your going to need to edit a line in your xorg.conf file.
[125007260880] |Doing this will allow for 3d effects.
[125007260890] |sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[125007260900] |add the following line
[125007260910] |Option “IgnoreACPI” “yes”
[125007260920] |Save and exit the file
[125007260930] |Now Reboot.
[125007260940] |Once Rebooted
[125007260950] |click System -> Preferences -> Appearance and click the Visual Effects tab.
[125007260960] |I chose “Normal” just to get things started.

[125007320010] |<title>Ubuntu 9.10 makes a serious charge toward the enterprise level</title>
[125007320020] |At the end of this month (October 29th, 2009 to be exact), Ubuntu will be releasing its newest take on the Linux operating system.
[125007320030] |This time around, it should be obvious (even to the biggest of skeptics) that Ubuntu is making some serious inroads to the business and enterprise scene.
[125007320040] |<strong>Bootup</strong>: Ubuntu has already made serious headway in the boot up process.
[125007320050] |When 9.04 was released the goal was the ever-elusive 10 second boot up time.
[125007320060] |With Ubuntu 9.10 they are inching very close to that time.
[125007320070] |The alpha release I tested had yet to reach that magic number but it’s getting close, clocking in under 20 seconds (and I was testing in a virtual environment so the installment wasn’t getting 100% of the machine resources).
[125007320080] |<strong>Software Center</strong>: This is really one of the biggest enterprise-level additions.
[125007320090] |Gone will be the Add/Remove Software tool and (eventually) Synaptic in favor of the Software Center.
[125007320100] |Although this tool will be used in the same way as the Add/Remove Software tool, it will have one thing its predecessor didn’t have - Commercial Software.
[125007320110] |That’s right.
[125007320120] |Now the enterprise (or SMB) user can go to the Software Center and shop for just about any type of software you can imagine - including non-free, enterprise-grade software!
[125007320130] |All in one very user-friendly tool.
[125007320140] |<strong>Ubuntu One</strong>: If you’ve used DropBox, you will know and understand the appeal of Ubuntu One.
[125007320150] |Ubuntu One is a way to sync files and folders on more than one PC.
[125007320160] |With the help of Ubuntu One you can ensure that the files on your work PC are in sync with whatever other Ubuntu PC that has Ubuntu One installed.
[125007320170] |In order to use Ubuntu One you will have to sign up for an account.
[125007320180] |You can sign up for either the free account (which gives you 2GB of space) or, for $10.00 USD per month, you can get 50GB of space.
[125007320190] |Enterprise Cloud Images: 9.10 will include images for common usage that can be deployed by the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud.
[125007320200] |<strong>HAL Deprecation</strong>: Many users will be glad to hear this.
[125007320210] |A lot of services (especially suspend and hibernate) that had been the duty of HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) will be handed off to other controlling software (“DeviceKit-power”, “DeviceKit-disks” and “udev”).
[125007320220] |Because of this change, Suspend and Hibernate should be far more reliable out of the box.
[125007320230] |<strong>Better Intel video support</strong>: Intel ships more video chipsets than just about any other maker.
[125007320240] |This has been a problem with Linux because of the horrible drivers offered.
[125007320250] |That is changing with the release of Ubuntu 9.10.
[125007320260] |The Intel drivers are switching from a much less reliable EXA driver to a far superior UXA 2D acceleration technology developed by Intel.
[125007320270] |Since so many business-class machines ship with on-board Intel video chipsets, this should make video issues with Linux a thing of the past (with regards to Intel that is).
[125007320280] |<strong>ext4</strong>: The ext4 file system will now be the default for Ubuntu.
[125007320290] |The ext4 file system has proven (since 9.04) to be very reliable and far faster than ext3.
[125007320300] |<strong>Apparmor</strong>: The Apparmor tool is getting some new profiles and features.
[125007320310] |One of the new features is a new parser that uses cache files to speed up initialization.
[125007320320] |Apparmor will also include a new feature (”PUX”) which will allow a process to transition to a profile or run without a profile.
[125007320330] |New profiles have also been added to the tool, extending its strength and flexibility.
[125007320340] |<strong>Non eXecutable Emulation</strong>: Not many people know about this feature.
[125007320350] |There are certain CPUs that offer the NX feature which allows certain areas of memory to be reserved for either processor instructions or data.
[125007320360] |This allows portions of the CPU memory to be marked as non-executable.
[125007320370] |With Ubuntu 9.10 the kernel will allow this feature even if you do not have a CPU with the NX feature.
[125007320380] |This will greatly enhance protection from malicious software and/or buffer overflow attacks.
[125007320390] |The list above is just the icing on the cake.
[125007320400] |Add to that all of the great features brought to life with 9.04 and you should easily see how Ubuntu is positioning itself to take on the SMB and Enterprise space.

[125007340240] |Known Problem
[125007340250] |It doesn’t extract files from RAR archives with full path
[125007340260] |<strong>unp man page</strong>
[125007340270] |<strong>NAME</strong>
[125007340280] |unp – a shell frontend for uncompressing/unpacking tools
[125007340290] |<strong>SYNOPSIS</strong>
[125007340300] |unp [-u] file [ files ... ] [ -- backend args ... ] ucat file [ files ... ]
[125007340310] |unp is a small script with only one goal: Extract as many archives as possible, of any kind and from any path to the current directory, preserving the subdirectory structure where needed.
[125007340320] |Is a Do-What-I-Want utility and helps managing several extraction programs without looking for needed options for the particular tool or worrying about the installation of the needed program.
[125007340330] |Run unp without arguments to see the list of supported archive formats.
[125007340340] |The special version ucat acts as wrapper for commands that can output the extracted data to standard output, like bzip (bzcat), gzip (zcat), tar,zip and others.
[125007340350] |<strong>USAGE</strong>
[125007340360] |unp extract one or more files given as arguments on the command line.
[125007340370] |Additionaly, it may pass some options to the backend tools (like taroptions) when they are appended after `–´.
[125007340380] |There is also a special option (-u) which is very usefull for extracting of Debian packages.
[125007340390] |Using -u, unp extracts the package (i.e. the ar archive) first, then extracts data.tar.gz in the current directory and then control.tar.gz in control//.
[125007340400] |<strong>NOTES</strong>
[125007340410] |unp will try to decompress into a FILE.unp if it get trouble with existing files.
[125007340420] |But don’t count on this feature, always look for free working space before using unp.
[125007340430] |In contrary to gunzip which decompresses the file in the target directory of the source file,unp will use current directory for output.

[125007350020] |Apache Tomcat is a free and open source software implementation for JavaServlets, providing support for Java Server Pages (JSP).
[125007350030] |Many popular web-based applications use servlets.
[125007350040] |You may choose to run Tomcat with either Sun’s Java implementation or the OpenJDK implementation of Java.
[125007350050] |Because Tomcat version 6 was included in Ubuntu 9.04, installing a working Tomcat server is reasonably straightforward.
[125007350060] |However, before we can start installing Tomcat itself, we must first install Java.
[125007350070] |First Install Sun Java in ubuntu 9.04 <a>using this tutorial</a>
[125007350080] |<strong>Install tomcat 6 in ubuntu 9.04</strong>
[125007350090] |sudo apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-common tomcat6-user tomcat6-docs tomcat6-examples
[125007350100] |This command downloads and install the following packages
[125007350110] |tomcat6 : Servlet and JSP engine
[125007350120] |tomcat6-admin : Admin web applications
[125007350130] |tomcat6-common : Common files
[125007350140] |tomcat6-user : Tools to create user instances
[125007350150] |tomcat6-docs : Example web applications
[125007350160] |tomcat6-examples : Example web applications
[125007350170] |To start, stop, restart and get the server status
[125007350180] |<strong>Start tomcat server</strong>
[125007350190] |sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
[125007350200] |<strong>Stop tomcat server</strong>
[125007350210] |sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
[125007350220] |<strong>Restart tomcat server</strong>
[125007350230] |sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
[125007350240] |Get tomcat server status
[125007350250] |sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 status
[125007350260] |After installation type http://localhost:8080 or http://serverip:8080/examples/servlets/ in your browser.Now you should see tomcat welcome page
[125007350270] |* To enable admin web based features add the following lines to your /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-user.xml <code><role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="admin"/> <user name="admin" password="secret_password" roles="manager,admin"/></code>
[125007350280] |* you should be able to see your manage page here http://your_ip_goes_here:8080/manager/html
[125007350290] |* log in with the name and password you just set in /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml
[125007350300] |* ls /var/lib/tomcat6 directory.
[125007350310] |* you should see these directories conf, logs, webapps, work
[125007350320] |* webapps is where your servlets will go ( or at least a xml file that points to them )
[125007350330] |* as a test download this war file http://simple.souther.us/SimpleServlet.war
[125007350340] |* then use the tomcat management page and select war file to deploy ( in teh deploy section) to upload this file to your server
[125007350350] |* optionally just wget http://simple.souther.us/SimpleServlet.war directly to the webapps folder
[125007350360] |* tomcat should recognize the war file and expand it with everything you need
[125007350370] |* browse to http://serverip:8080/SimpleServlet/
[125007350380] |<strong>Change tomcat server to run on port 80</strong>
[125007350390] |If you want to Change tomcat server to run on port 80 follow this procedure
[125007350400] |You need to edit the /etc/tomcat6/server.xml file
[125007350410] |nano /etc/tomcat6/server.xml
[125007350420] |Now replace the part that says Connector port=”8080? with Connector port=”80?
[125007350430] |Save and exit the file
[125007350440] |Restart tomcat server with the following command
[125007350450] |sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart

[125007360020] |If you use the Ubuntu Personal Package Archives (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas) then forget about opening /etc/apt/sources.list to add a repository; in Karmic, use the new add-apt-repository command.
[125007360030] |For example, to add the repository for the chromium browser, just run:
[125007360040] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily
[125007360050] |The PPA’s repository will be automatically added and so will the GPG key.

[125007450020] |The design team’s a group of fourteen people who comprise a mix of different disciplines: visual / graphics designers, interaction designers, and technical people.
[125007450030] |“The majority of us come from consultancies and agencies,” Ivanka explained.
[125007450040] |“I was at a user experience consultancy called Flow Interactive, and I used to be a programmer, so I came into user-centered design.
[125007450050] |If I was thinking about what people were doing and how, I could help them accomplish that.”
[125007450060] |I was curious what kind of working relationship the design group had established with GNOME so far.
[125007450070] |(I focused on GNOME for now since the stock Ubuntu installation uses it, and therefore that’s what most people have direct exposure to.)
[125007450080] |“Part of my job is working out the answer to that myself.
[125007450090] |We’re a fairly new team, and we’ve had to do some work trying to learn how to operate with the FOSS community.
[125007450100] |The Paper Cuts project [an ongoing project to identify trivially fixable bugs that otherwise annoy users -sy] was partly to get some small interaction problems fixed within Ubuntu, but also to understand how far we can push things.
