You can solve this by linking your ~/.gvfs directory to the bookmarks in nautilus.

1. Locate the .gvfs directory in your home directory (ctrl-h displays the hidden entries)
2. Right click on .gvfs and make a link.
3. Rename the “Link to .gvfs” to something like “Network”
4. Drag the entry from above to your bookmarks

You could omit steps 2 and 3 but you would end up with a not very descruptive link called .gvfs

The indeed _very_ strange solution is to turn off LEGACY FLOPPY SUPPORT in the BIOS setup. If you don’t have such a setting (i.e like my Dell Precision T3400) and don’t have any floppy drive either then try deactivating everything that refers to floppy drives in the BIOS setup.

export i=0;
while [[ $((++i)) -le 254 ]];
do ping -c1 -w1 192.168.0.$i | grep ttl | cut -d " " -f4 | cut -d ":" -f1;
done;

• Install network-manager-openvpn using synaptic
• I know it’s not linux style – but do a reboot know – just to insure that all services are running. I had no success with the next steps without rebooting. Or I’ve been too lazy searching for the services that needed a restart.
• Download the .p12 file from IPCop or ask someone to do it for you.
• Now you have to extract 3 certificate files out of your .p12 file.
  
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in (filename).p12 -out userkey.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in (filename).p12 -out usercert.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -cacerts -in (filename).p12 -out userca.pem

  Or download that script and call it with pkcs2certs.sh your-username.p12 and it’ll create the required files for you.
• Now place the files into your vpn configuration and make the settings match your zerina configuration (cipher, compression etc.)

xmodmap -e “remove lock = Caps_Lock”

In order to make these changes permanent open your ~/.bashrc using

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

and add the line above

I’ve setup the email client Thunderbird with its addon Lightning for Calender/Tasks

1. Email via IMAP
   Simply specify your Hostname and Username/Password
2. Calendar/Tasks via calDAV
   Add a new network calendar using calDAV with the address

   http://<hostname>/calendars/<domain>/<user>/Calendar

3. Adressbook via LDAP
   Create a new Adressbook with LDAP
   Name: Your name but can be whatever you like
   Adress: your server’s hostname
   Base-DN:  fn=ContactRoot
   Port: 389
   Bind DN: your emailadress
   The only Drawback is that this Addressbook will be read-only

1. Pairing the 2 devices
2. Setup a connection on the Palm using Local Network via Bluetooth with 115.2000 Bit/s
3. Setup a Network using the connection defined above
4. Tell the Bluetooth Manager of your PC to start the Networking service on startup via autostart=true in /etc/bluetooth/network.service
5. in /etc/default/bluetooth set
   DUND_ENABLED=1
   DUND_OPTIONS=”–listen –persist –msdun call treo”
6. create /etc/ppp/peers/treo with
   115200192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2
   local
   ms-dns 127.0.0.1
   noauth
   debug

   where the first IP is your Ubuntu box and the second one will be assigned to your palm

7. after a /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart you should be able to connect.

In case you suffer from a Serieal Port Error Message you should call dund manually by issuing

sudo killall dund
sudo dund –nodetach –listen –persist –msdun call treo

openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pem -days 1826
sudo mv server.key /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
sudo mv server.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

But take care that you specify the server’s fully qualified domain name (the name you use for connecting) as the common name ! Otherwise Mozilla Thunderbird will not allow you to accept that certificate permanently. However we will still need to accept that certificate manually since it’s self-signed.

What needs to be done ist do convert my utf-8 encoded files to iso-8859-1 is:

After stopping Tomcat I copied all my content to a new subdirectory called old. From that directory I called

for a in `find . -name \*.html -print`; do iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 <”$a” >../”$a” ; done

Which means: Find all .html files and convert them from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 and put them in the same place as they where but 1 level higher.

Before starting Tomcat again please delete the $CATALINA_HOME/work/mesh-cms directory.

Oh, did I mention that the above command works on Linux only ?

That has been done on my existing server running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS.

First you need a DHCP-Server in order to deploy the correct PXE settings.

apt-get install dhcp3-server

The /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf has been set to

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.195 192.168.0.199;
filename “pxelinux.0″;
}

Since I’m running a DHCP Server on my IPCOP that would interfere with the “PXE-DHCP Server” the following options where added to the IPCOP-DHCP

next-server 192.168.0.227
filename “pxelinux.0″

Take care to set these options for GREEN only. Making these Global will not work.

Now restart both DHCP servers.

tftpd-hpa will be responsile for deploying the files, therefore

apt-get install tftpd-hpa

does the job. Now change /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to start up as a daemon. (For some reason starting it via inetutils-inetd didn’t work for me)

After copying the contents from the /install/netboot directory on the Ubuntu installation CD to /var/lib/tftpboot you should be able to install a machine via PXE Netboot.

However this will only work for 1 distribution and will also perform a Netinstall where all neccessary data will be downloaded from the internet.
How to extend this to more than 1 operating system will be discussed later.
