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.

Bridging with Ubuntu Hardy

Sven Bachmann
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”).

Ubuntu Hardy and NIS Server

Sven Bachmann
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.

Ubuntu and the IBM x60s Network Interface

Sven Bachmann
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.

DCP-110C and DCP-135C with Ubuntu Hardy

Sven Bachmann
Hi there, long time ago I wrote an article how to make the DCP-110C running under Ubuntu Feisty. One commenter wrote me, that he got it also to run with Gutsy and Hardy. Now the time has come and some things are easier :) Since Hardy (I think) the cups-packages for the DCPs are now included in the package repository. You have to enable the multiverse repo to get it.

Ubuntu Hardy: remove Evolution

Sven Bachmann
Hi, it’s now possible to remove a big part of evolution in hardy, because ubuntu-desktop does now only recommends some evolution packages. You can easily remove them by: sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution evolution-exchange evolution-plugins evolution-common evolution-webcal Only the following packages will stay: evolution-data-server, evolution-data-server-common Bye, Sven

evince doesn't print after hardy update

Sven Bachmann
Hi, if evince won’t print after the Hardy update, you can try the following steps which worked for me. Close all evince windows (pkill evince) and perform the following commands: rm -rf ./.gnome2/evince rm -f ./.gnome2/accels/evince sudo apt-get --purge remove evince (which will also remove ubuntu-desktop metapackage) sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (which will also add evince ;-) ) After that, printing should work again. Maybe some steps are not necessary… find it out for yourself :-)
