To share rows with NFS is better

In post the precedence I have tried to explain like sharing rows between two PC linuc with samba. However this protocol is born originally like interface that allows the sharing of resources between systems windows and linux; he is therefore obvious that when blots some to them in net they are PC linux the just choice is not more samba, “among other things rather heavy”, but the protocol purposely developed for the systems *nix, that is NFS.

Here as I have made:

Serveur:

  • Installation of NFS (I sudo apt-get install portmap NFS-kernel-serveur);
  • sharing of the cartelle (I sudo gedit /etc/exports); for every folder to share to insert in the rows exports the following line: /Condivisa/192.168.0.2 (rw, sync)
  • to specify the client to which allowing the access (in my case is a solo):
    gedit /etc/hosts.allow;
    to insert the line portmap mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad: 192.168.0.2 (IP of the client);
  • to render effective the modifications riavviando the demons;
    I sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart
    I sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart;
  • to create the folder with l point of mount (mkdir /media/ArchivioDesktop)

Samba with airone

The title it, obviously, is the natural “pinguinesca” version of my an ancient one post: “Gibbone to lesson of samba with sight “. For the rest little to that to see. This “how to” has the objective to supply aid to how many is gotten ready to share cartelle between two PC, one of which with ubuntu 8.04. In my case there is, exactly, ubuntu hardy on the PC desktop and gutsy on the laptop:

  1. To install samba (I sudo apt-get install samba smbfs system-config-samba);
  2. I sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf (this commando is necessary in order to resolve a bug of system-config-samba that it does not create the rows libuser.conf);
  3. to open Sistema->Amministrazione->Samba;
  4. on Preferenze->Impostazioni serveur to set up the parameters like from successive images: sambaconfig.png samba-config1.png
  5. now on Preferenze->Utenti Samba to select the customer who wants itself to be made to approach samba;
  6. to create the sharing cliccando on You add Sharing.

At last three things to emphasize:

  • generally it is not opportune to allow to all the access to the sharing, is advised to make it single with the created customer;
  • ubuntu it allows to share two cartelle also cliccando with the skillful key of the mouse on the cartelle same and being chosen “Options of sharing;
  • in order to see the rows of configuration of samba enough $gksudo gedit a /etc/samba/smb.conf, while for riavviare Samba it is necessary to type $sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart.

To share the logon to Internet between two PC linux

Prerequisiti:

  • two PC connected between they with a cable crossover (in my case PC desktop and laptop);
  • PC desktop with two cards ethernet (eth0 connected to Internet and eth1 for the local net);
  • linux on both the PC (for me hardy heron on the desktop and gutsy gibbon on laptop).

Configuration of the external card (eth0):

  1. Dynamic configuration through dhcp;
  2. Or to settare a static address; this my configuration:
  • IP address: 10.0.1.20
  • Netmask: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 10.0.1.1
  • Primary DNS: 208.67.220.220
  • Secondary DNS: 208.67.222.222.

Configuration files inner (eth1)

  • IP address: 192.168.0.1
  • Netmask: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 10.0.1.1
  • Primary DNS: 208.67.220.220

Real player 11 on linux

As soon as yesterday I have mailed with regard to songbird and, in the so-called war of player (the definition from me coined in order to indicate the rather immense offer of the field), today it is the turn of Real Player 11. This application reproduces audio and video in streaming on Internet in real time, besides the several formats which RealAudio, RealVideo, MP3, 3GPP Video, Flash, SMIL 2,0, JPEG, GIF, png, RealText, Ogg Vorbis, RealPix and Ogg Theora.
Other important aspect is integration with firefox. It is now possible to listen to and to see the video built-in directly in browser the Web without to open RealPlayer.
The design is elegant and the interface customer, based on technology GTK allows the choice of the topic that better adata to the atmosphere desktop.
Have installed I it on Gutsy in the simplest way:

  • download of rows BIN from the link of which over;
  • to render esguibile the rows (chmod X);
  • launch it from shell (. /RealPlayer11GOLD.bin) and to follow the screen instructions (I have chosen /opt/real/RealPlayer like installation folder).

Eccolo here:

Easy Ubuntu on windows

For the joy of those which “Linux, but not abandonment windows” here an idea truly detail: “wubi “.
wubi.png
This is an application that simplifies the installation of Ubuntu on partitions windows eliminating for the customers windows the annoyance of having to partizionare the hard disk with consequent risk of loss of data. This is possible because wubi it uses a device of loopback with the creation of rows of great dimensions on partition windows and the installation of ubuntu within of it. Therefore wubi not ago use of blots of it virtual or of any other type of emulazione, and Ubuntu can be under way natively with the boot loader of windows.
