Update: In Intrepid Ibex this package is now called flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound.
Hi,
as some of you may have already recognized, in Ubuntu Hardy, normale sound applications and Flash in Firefox don’t play well. For example: if you first start Rhythmbox, hear some music and later run Firefox to watch some Youtube it plays without sound.
This problem is known and there is a solution! Just install libflashsupport.
Cite from the description:
Due to various bugs in the Flash 9 plugin sound output of Flash 9 through the pulseaudio soundserver doesn’t work properly. This library adds a clutch to make Flash 9 sound output in pulseaudio possible.
For further information see http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/43 and http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FlashPlayer9Solution
Bye,

Hi there…
Situation: You have a computer which you want to connect to your already existing network infrastructure.
Problem: You don’t have any switch or hub available only a network card and an already connected computer.
Solution: Use bridging. Its just two clicks away… ok, not really – I don’t like clicking over ssh 
So what I’ll tell you now is what I’ve learned from: http://www.barmasse.org/linux/praxishilfe/ubuntu/virtualbox.html and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132515 (post from user “woedend”).
Open the file /etc/network/interfaces as root and add the lines:
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 eth1
Then install the package bridge-utils and type as root:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
You’re dhcp server must be configured to give the br0 interface an IP address. After that, you can do everything with your external connected computer as if it where connected directly.

Hi,
here is a walkthrough to set up a NIS server under Ubuntu Hardy, because the standard configuration is only for clients.
apt-get install nis
NIS domain: be creative 
Then wait till the ypbind search is over (it tries very hard to find a server…) otherwise the package is not completely installed.
In the mean time, you can prepare the server.
/etc/yp.conf
ypserver 127.0.0.1
/etc/default/nis
NISSERVER = master
NISCLIENT = false
/etc/ypserv.securenets
# This line gives access to everybody. PLEASE ADJUST! Adjusted!
255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
When the installation is complete, you can proceed with the following steps:
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
/etc/init.d/nis restart
Congratulations, your NIS server is now running!
Bye,
Sven

Hi,
today I tried to do some online banking at www.sparkasse-zwickau.de. To my suprise, I took a very long time till the welcome page was loaded.
I checked this again with another browser: same problem. Than I tried a host outside the university… wow, it goes very fast. Hmm, and another host inside? Also fast. So I’d check the installed windows and it also worked perfectly.
I googled a bit and found that the problem is my network interface which is handled by the e1000 driver.
