mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Having problems mounting hd.
(mount: you must specify the filesystem type)

If you have problems with mounting, then try this
Creating the partition is not enough to use it, you need to put a filesystem on it. ie:

Code:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1

Then you can mount it using

Code:

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1

.htaccess on ubuntu with apache install not working

How to get .htaccess file to work in Ubuntu and Apache2.
In example I use Apache v2.2, and Ubuntu 9.04
after install apache v2.2 on my ubuntu, i make a .htaccess file with .htpasswd, everything according standard set up, was fine, but i could not make my .htaccess file to work, i tried almost everything , i could not get a answer on the net, then i find a little detail on apache.org. here is explanation..
u open yours preferred terminal, I use nano.
Log in at “root” and type:
# nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

there you will find VirtualHost set up:


ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

….


and change “AllOverride None” to “AllOverride All”
and you .htaccess file will work


The use of .htaccess files can be disabled completely by setting the AllowOverride directive to "None" or if you wanna enable you need to set directive to “All
AllowOverride None

!remember to make a .htpasswd file to, put dem (.htaccess, .htpasswd) in the same directory.

/var/www

Ubuntu , Apache2 , .htaccess easy set up..
her is example for .htaccess file

AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
DirectoryIndex index.html
require valid-user


and here example for .htpasswd file

someuser:mo3wsdmzk3yX6

on the net you can find any .htaccess generator
and easy to use...

I hope I give your some idea

The Perfect Basic Ubuntu Debian Server setup

Install the base system using the minimal option.

1. Get root Privileges

Enable the root login by running the following and giving root a password. You can then directly log in as root:

sudo passwd root

2. Install vim-nox or nano or joe (Optional)

I'll use vi as my text editor in this tutorial. The default vi program has some strange behaviour on Ubuntu and Debian; to fix this, we install vim-nox:

aptitude install vim-nox nano

(You don't have to do this if you use a different text editor such as joe or nano.)

3. Configure The Network

Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):

vi /etc/network/interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.0.100
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      network 192.168.0.0
      broadcast 192.168.0.255
      gateway 192.168.0.1

Then restart your network:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Then edit /etc/hosts. Make it look like this:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.100   server1.example.com     server1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Now run:

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

Afterwards, run:

hostname
hostname -f

Both should show server1.example.com now.

4. Update your Linux Installation

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Comment out or remove the installation CD from the file and make sure that the universe and multiverse repositories are enabled. It should look like this:

#
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.1)]/ jaunty main restricted

#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.1)]/ jaunty main restricted

5.Then run the following to update the apt package database:

aptitude update

Run the following to install the latest updates:

aptitude safe-upgrade

If you see that a new kernel gets installed as part of the updates, you should reboot the system afterwards:

How to configure Ubuntu Linux with
static or dynamic (dhcp) IP
by morphus.dk

File: /etc/network/interfaces

Static IP example:

How to record rip streaming net radio in Ubuntu Debian Linux easy steps

How to record streaming net radio in Ubuntu Debian Linux easy way.

You need to open GNOME Terminal, and change to directory you want to stream to.

installing:
'sudo apt-get install streamripper'

Here is how to use: 'streamripper (URL)' to rip,
just replace (url) with your stream,
and streamripper will be separating each song to own file and naming the files, if information is available.

If you type:
'streamripper (URL) -r' then you will create a local relay on http://localhost:8000 or relay port:XXXX be shown when ripping start.
You can then use that on your music player so you don't need to have 2 connections open to the web radio, to listen & rip at the same time.

If you don't want to have tons of folders everytime you rip, type:
'streamripper (URL) -s' then all ripping will be save in that directory you standing in.

You can use 'streamripper (URL) -a ' to rip into a single file, and '-d' allows selecting directory for more options. 'man streamripper' will tell more.

For a GUI way, 'sudo apt-get install streamtuner' It will appear in your menus, and allows you to browse large selection of web radio streams and just hit record button to record the stream with streamripper.

ripping will look like this, have fun.... :)

How To Install VMWareServer2 on Ubuntu 9.04

How To Install VMWareServer2 on Ubuntu 9.04

The VMWare team finally decided to make an Ubuntu friendly version of their software, and made installation relatively easy!
They removed the VMWare server console and instead change to Web browser easy to use management system! That means friendly to use for you and me!

So lets get startet to install.
This is what you need to do to install VMWare Server 2 on Ubuntu 9.04:

Note: If you using ubuntu server and doesn't have a GUI, you need to register for the download, and then download it to your Desktop machine, any folder you want.

Now, to the install steps:

1. Install the necesarry prerequisites

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd

2. Now change into the directory where you want your VMWare TAR ball to be. I saved mine in /home/morphus.dk/vm

$ cd /home/yourusername/vm

Note: if your didn't make a directory yet, you do it like this:

$ mkdir vm
now you have a directory name "vm"
then copy your VMware tarball to that "vm" directory,like this

$ cp whereeveryourare/VMware-server-*.tar.gz VMware-server-*.tar.gz

then change directory to "vm" or what ever you have call it, like this

$ cd whereeveryouare/vm

3. Now Extract the TAR ball and run the installer

$ tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz

$ cd vmware-server-distrib

$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl

4. You can hit enter for all of the defaults, except when asked for a name of an alternate administrator. For that enter your username.
If you don't, you will have to reset the root password as that is the default administrator for VMWare Server,
when asked for the direcrory of virtual machines, you have the option of saving them in a different directory. I for instance like to save mine in /home/morphus.dk/vm.
5. Near the end, you will have to enter your serial number which you received when you first registered for the download.
6. Done! Now you are ready to login! You can login to the web console by browsing to

Log in to VMserver2:

1. http://servername:8222
2. or http://localhost:8222 (or hvat ever port you set, thru installation)

After building your first machine, you can view it through the web console in Firefox after installing the correct plugins which you will be prompted for in the web console.
That is it! Seriously! Can you believe it? In just about all previous Ubuntu versions, and VMWare Server versions it has been 1.5 bitches to install. This time it is really really easy!
After you installing it, and have any comments, let me know what you think!
