Installing an Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 LAMP and FFMpeg Server With a GUI - Installation of OpenSSH.
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:50:26 +0000In the last installment, I covered what was done to install LAMP on the server. But remember that we did not install SSH. Why is SSH important? It allows us to remotely connect to the server using tools such as PuTTY, so that we can execute commands, install software, etc. The command is simple: sudo [...]Full Circle Magazine - Issue #14 is Out
Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:11:01 +0000I received an email this morning from Full Circle Magazine (they are a “…FREE Independent Magazine (and podcast) for the Ubuntu Linux Community…”) saying that the latest publication is out; and was happy to see that one of my posts, Make Your Own Plug ‘N Play Zone Using Ubuntu Linux!, was featured in the latest [...]Installing an Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 LAMP and FFMpeg Server With a GUI - LAMP installation with cgi-bin
Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:03:58 +0000The last post I covered the hardware installation for this project. For this section, we’re going to use Ubuntu Linux (8.04 LTS Server Edition 64-bit) to install the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server. If you don’t have that software available, you can get it using the following venues: 1. Download the iso image [...]Installing an Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 LAMP and FFMpeg Server With a GUI - Hardware Installation.
Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:00:21 +0000As mentioned in the introduction (where I listed the hardware and software I used for this hands-on project), we need to ensure that our hardware is set-up and working before moving on. To recap, here is the list of hardware used: Shuttle SN68SG2 Socket AM2 Barebone - NVIDIA 7025, Audio, Video, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0, [...]Installing an Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 LAMP and FFMpeg Server With a GUI - Introduction.
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:02:29 +0000It’s been several day’s since I’ve had the chance to post (I’ve been super busy), so it’s good to have a moment to sit and put my thoughts to pixels (so to speak). Introduction: This is the introductory post to a full series where I’ll be posting how I installed an Ubuntu Linux LAMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP [...]How to Get Network and Video Working in Shuttle Computers.
Fri, 23 May 2008 20:02:49 +0000Just a quick afterthought to my last post, if you are trying the get the integrated ethernet network card and the integrated (nvidia) video working in your Shuttle based hardware (specifically Shuttle SN68SG2), there is an easy (and fast) solution here: addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fubuntulinuxhelp.com%2Fhow-to-get-network-and-video-working-in-shuttle-computers%2F'; addthis_title = 'How+to+Get+Network+and+Video+Working+in+Shuttle+Computers.'; addthis_pub [...]Browser Problems - Creating a Linux Based Virtual Box - Part 2 of 2
Fri, 23 May 2008 19:42:43 +0000Earlier this month, I posted Part 1 of “Browser Problems - Creating a Linux Based Virtual Box” where the issue of being able to load different environments to test web site development was discussed. In this post (Part 2), I’ve received all the hardware (Shuttle SN68SG2) and am happy to note that the unit is [...]Browser Problems - Creating a Linux Based Virtual Box - Part 1 of 2
Thu, 08 May 2008 14:17:06 +0000I had an interesting discussion yesterday with the owner of LaLa Media (lalamedia.ca). The conversation focused on the issues of developing web sites that are cross platform friendly. Invariably the problem dealing with browser bugs came up. In particular how IE6 appears to be especially buggy and how it tends to have problems with [...]Why is Linux Faster than Windows?
Tue, 06 May 2008 14:10:50 +0000Last March I posted “Does Ubuntu Linux Really Need Antivirus Software?“. The comments provided by readers was very informative and I learned quite a bit from it. Blogging is great because so many people provide valuable input, and often can correct errors I sometimes might make. That’s a bonus. However, back to the subject at hand… A [...]Automate Your Web Site Backup!
Mon, 05 May 2008 14:39:13 +0000During the weekend (Saturday), UbuntuLinuxHelp was down for almost 12 hours. Fortunately the hosting provider had data backups and there was no data loss. In any event, I also keep backups, so the added redundancy helps to protect the content. Up to now, the server has been configured to create a daily backup of databases [...]130 Useful Linux Based LiveCD Versions.
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:25:02 +0000Recently several people asked me about trying Linux without actually installing it. Obviously the first thing that came to mind is to try versions via LiveCD. For those not familiar, LiveCD means: “A CD-ROM that contains a working copy of an operating system or other application that is run without installing it. Used for demonstration and [...]Why I Quit Windows and Switched to Linux
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:05:46 +0000It’s funny how some people react when I tell them I use Linux. Sometimes they express the sentiment that I must be very computer savvy. Other’s get caught up in all the brand loyalty hype and still some have never heard of Linux! I kid you not! The truth of the matter is that [...]Ubuntu Linux Plug ‘N Play Zone Revisited
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:43:04 +0000Last month we posted a great idea “Make Your Own Plug ‘N Play Zone Using Ubuntu Linux!“, discussing and introducing the concept of a “zone” where laptop (or other) users could plug their units into and have Linux automatically installed upon boot up. “…It’s a simple 3-step method. Users plug their laptop into one of the [...]Linux is Good for the Elderly
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:01:00 +0000Some time ago, my father switched to Linux (Ubuntu). I think in some of the contributing factor to his switching was my excitement. I remember when I first tried Linux, it was an earlier version of Red Hat (with the blue install screens). At that time it was a real pain in the behind, and [...]How to Speed Up Amarok - Part 1
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:54:16 +0000One of our articles was posted on Reddit (Top 10 Must Have Applications for Ubuntu.) and one user, made the following comment on: “Anyone know how to speed up Amarok when trying to listen to a library on a share? My Music library is about 17, 000 songs which is stored on my NAS. It takes about [...]
