Installing Zend Server on Ubuntu 10.04

Me2resh — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 11:45:45 +0000

I have been having issues trying to install Zend Server on Ubuntu 10.04 following the steps here http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server-5-Community-Edition/zend-server.htm#deb_installation.htm
the problem was because there is a missing dependency for the “libmysqlclient15off” MySQL client library

to solve this, I had to install “libmysqlclient15off” from here (select the one that matches your architecture)

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/

Then install it using the command line :

dpkg -i libmysqlclient15off_5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

after that running the installation for Zend server from through repositories, will work with no interruptions.

I struggled for a while to get my wireless card work after installing / upgrading Ubuntu on my T400 Thinkpad.

My T400 came with wireless card : Realtek Semiconductor .

To get it working, I followed these steps :

1- Open nautilus

sudo nautilus

2- Browse to /lib/modules/

3- Search for any rtl8192se and remove them

4-Download the drivers from Realtek website (Search for RTL8192SE)
Click to go to Realtek Website

5- Install the drivers

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source-2.6.32
tar -xzvf rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz
cd rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010
sudo make
sudo su
make install
modprobe r8192se_pci

6- Reboot and it should be working out of the box.

How to enable Remote Desktop on Ubuntu from Terminal

Me2resh — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:36:26 +0000

The remote desktop function in ubuntu is a nice handy one, to enable it from terminal
first ssh to the server you wanna remote desktop, then install tightvncserver

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

then run it

tightvncserver

it will ask you to set a password for using this option and it will return the x desktop id.
Now go to Applications -> Internet ->Remote Desktop Viewer, and enter the address of the machine followed by the x desktop id like this :

servername:1

where 1 is the x server id.

How to disable sudo password prompt in Linux

Me2resh — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 01:29:57 +0000

well, sometimes i want to execute commands as super user without being asked for password each time to do that

to do that its pretty easy

open the terminal and type this command :

sudo visudo

and uncomment the following line :

# %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

save the file by pressing escape then typing :wq and pressing enter.

from now on you will not be asked when executing the command as super user using sudo.

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid – Fix Static IP & Network Manager Problem

Me2resh — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:18:41 +0000

Hey all,

today i have installed the new release of Ubuntu, 8.10 Intrepid

but i had a problem setting my IP to a static one, when i do this through the network manager, and when i edited the network files manually nothing worked, so here is the steps i followed to solve the problem :

first i removed the network manager

sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove

then i added my network configuration by editing the file /etc/network/interfaces

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

so it looks like

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.xxx

then i edited the file /etc/resolv.conf to add my DNS

sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf

to look like

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.xxx

then i restart the networking by :

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

if u still have problems, i suggest you restart the machine and check, the above steps is how i got my network up .

enjoy the new Ubuntu
