"parityboy" using raid0, just dosn't seem right. The 0 in raid0 is for how much data you will have left when something goes wrong. anyways what does the following give. # cat /proc/mdstat # mdadm --assemble --scan -v

for the background, the quick and dirty way is to replace /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png with the image of your choice, or you could make a custom dconf profile. something like: create a profile similar to /etc/dconf/profile/user with the following user-db:user system-db:local...

what version of ubuntu, 18.04? are you looking to set the image on just the desktop, or also the greeter screen? is the desktop env gnome?

I believe at this point he has 2 separate issues: - the original issue of being unable to write to his ntfs shared disk partition. - box is not properly booting because there are partitions not mounting, such as the swap file. it seems odd to me that he has both a /swapfile and a...

post the boot messages again with the /swapfile line commented out.

networking will not be enabled in rescue mode. you would have to bring up the interface manually if you want to use apt. but to me it still looks like you have filesystems that aren't mounting on boot.

you put a # sign at the start of that line, which means when the config is read it will not use that line, it will treat it like those other comments. i see in your post #10 during bootup your system is having problems using the /swapfile. so if you put a # at the start of that line, it wont be...

it seems like its not finding /swapfile, you might try commenting that out in your /etc/fstab and reboot.

from the errors in the commands you provided it looks like maybe its mounting as read only. did you happen to run mount when you were in the command line, and was it rw or ro? looks like this is a fairly coming problem when sharing a filesystem between windows and linux, you might need to do a...

I learned a large chunk of my basic linxu/unix knowledge by running only Sun Solaris (8) at home on my main desktop for ~3 years around the time winXP came out. Anything I wanted to do i had to figure it out in a painful way, mostly command line. Want to listen mp3s, find some random project...

yeah, i agree it would be nice to have putty in windows default, its one of the first things I end up installing on the the few windows boxes I do use. Also since its web page is in some guys public_html dir, and i end up tripple checking i am at the right place before I download it.

Disabling the telnet on the server for security reasons was fine, i don't think anyone would argue that. On the other hand taking out the client is annoying, it is useful for things other then actual telnet.

Had no idea that Windows had dropped telnet, I am pretty sure it was included by default at some point 98/nt4.0 days. Yeah it can be a pain when its not there and you need it, and while it is probably more of a pain to add it back then say doing so in centos. I prefer not to use window did...

Don't get me started on that, It drives me crazy, hehe. ifconfig is considered deprecated these days. I started with unix before linux so its hard for me to let it go. It seems like my list of 'standard' tools i got to install on a fresh machine is always growing. People love to reinvent the...

Sure its possible netplan has a bug, well i know it has bugs, but before everyone goes throwing that out there as the cause of this issue take a look at what it actually does, and dosn't do. It doesn't actually configure the interfaces, setup routes, change dns, all it really does is shove the...

Starting from a fresh boot does local network work until you connect to the VPN? when you connect to a VPN its probably going to add an interface, change the routing table (including the default route), and most likely add some DNS entries for the new interface. Its possible something is not...

It has been a while, but i believe i just did: # apt-get install ifupdown # apt-get remove netplan.io there was some annoying bug where netplan wasn't bringing up a virtual interface for me on boot. Though if you arn't doing anything strange i thought the netplan .yml files in /etc/netplan are...

whipe it. install ubuntu. stop messing with stuff you don't understand.

ext4 will work fine on the 6tb disk. As ChadD said, you want to use parted so you can create a gpt partition table so you can use the whole disk. you mentioned client files, depending on how much down time he can take in the event of a disk failure, he may want to consider having 2 drives and...

being a bit generous with the credit there arn't you?

you said that already like 5 months ago... you also said you were going to look in to it, what did you find between feb 8th and now?

well, i will say the security setting is a problem that occurs in windows too, and you fix it pretty much the same way, with the security slider in java control panel. But someone not being experienced in linux, can't fault them for not knowing that installing the 32bit version of something...

you can try lowering the java security setting, run /usr/java/jre1.7.0_80/bin/jcontrol, security tab, medium. your java install may not trust the company's cert. this will rule out that as being the problem. there is also that XML parse error. If its still a problem after adjusting the...

I am not a big java guy so i can't answer a lot of that. but here are some things you should consider. 1. seems like you are running 64bit version of ubuntu, you might want to install the 64bit version of the jre. I am not saying that the 32bit version isn't going to work, but there is a...

with no error to go on, you probably will have to go the strace route as 4saken stated, or maybe if you are lucky its writing to a log file some where. if it turns out its an an issue with the actual java at this point that is going to be out side my area of knowledge. maybe you can turn on...

I appreciate you posting this. hopefully i can find some time to give this a try my self, and get it working with my setup. I currently use openldap with sasl pointers to mit kerberos for the passwords, this works fine for most normal linux things, but leaves a lot to be desired getting it...

something is wrong with your install, i do not get the garbage characters when i run fdisk in the atnt unix. you don't need to convert anything it just works, did you install all the disks? maybe you are missing something Total disk size is 260 cylinders...

yes, you have another missing lib, this time libXext.so.6, per the error. # apt-get install libxext6:i386 might as well also install these 32bit libs as you will probably need them too # apt-get install libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxi6:i386

well does it run now that you installed the missing lib? also run the ldd on javaws again to see if it shows it shows the link to libX11.so.6 now.

so you notice that it does not see a location for libX11.so.6. it also looks like javaws is built against 32bit libs, so i am guessing we its 32bit and then we need to check for the 32 bit version of the lib. check if its 32bit which it looks like it may be # file /usr/bin/javaws check if...

its pretty much saying it can't find that shared library, so we have to check is it installed. what do you get when you do # ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.* which i believe is the location in for the lib in ubuntu 16.04, and probably later. if its missing check if you have the...

scharfshutze009, ill tell you what you need to do, but you need to do the whole plan, not just quit in the middle how you like to do it. 1. you build your own internal DNS servers, the rest of this plan will be a huge pain with out it. 2. build your ow CA, you need to be able to sign your own...

letsencrypt works well, and there are even scripts/programs like certbot that will auto renew it for you. If you wanted to do self signed certs, its better to create your own CA, and sign all your certs with that. Then you can trust that one CA cert, and all the certs you have signed will be...

I have seen plenty of people try to help you on these very forums. but you know what they say, you can lead a horse to water...

ubuntu isn't spying on you,https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html . here is an update from your hero richard stallman stating that the feature has been disabled by default since 16.04 if you need to hear it from him. you, and this is directed only at you, should stick with...

trueos is based on freebsd, it is basically freebsd packaged up for easier desktop use. there is no reason for them to document all the command line stuff, because it is pretty much all the same as freebsd.

like i said i cant see the image in our last post, what is the problem you are having, where are you stuck now? Also you have to understand that pure unix as you may be thinking is not that clear cut, atnt and berkely were taking and including each others code long before sysv became a thing...

don't know, I don't see a picture. yes it is not as easy as modern linux and thats why I said YOU should pick a single linux, stick with it and get good at it. you who struggles all the time on simple things have no need to go venturing off in to some os that is only an interesting bit of...

you can add the floppy image right there with the blue disk with the + on it next to where it says controller:floppy.

no, at the top of the virtualbox VM window: devices > floppy drives > choose disk image or in settings in (system) make sure floppy is checked and the first boot devices, then go to storage , make sure there is a floppy controller, if not add one under the add controller button, after that you...
