Well, that's kind of done but the editing interface of the wiki is not yet clear to me. Few shortcut:
{code 'Enter' |
'ctrl' AND '1' XOR '2' XOR '3' |
'shift' AND 'ctrl' AND 'b' |
'ctrl' AND 'b' 'ctrl' AND 'u' 'ctrl' AND 'i' |
'ctrl' AND 's' |
PROBLEM:
exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken |
SOLUTION:
rm /var/log/exim4/paniclog |
PROBLEM: when auto eth0 added to interfaces. Nfs interfaces gets stuck on boot.
SOLUTION: there was no 'auto lo' in /etc/network/interfaces. That added plus 'auto eth0' makes it work.
apt-get install xorg |
apt-get install gnome-core |
to test the installation:
starx |
change the resolution
CTRL + ALT + '+' and CTRL + ALT + '-' |
screen the available resolution and change it
xrandr -q wrands -s resolution |
apt-get install gdm |
to start it
gdm |
If the kernel isn't compiled you need to install the kernel headers.
Check the kernel version
uname -r |
Install the kernel header and link it to the linux file
apt-get install linux-header-... rm /usr/src/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux-header-... /usr/src/linux |
Install the compilers
apt-get install gcc g++ |
Download the latest drivers from the nvidia website.
Stop gdm (might need a kill)
/etc/init.d/gdm stop |
Install the driver
sh NVIDIA... |
Don't download the kernel interface. Ask for a compilation of a new interface. Start xconfig ans restart gdm
nvidia-xconfig /etc/init.d/gdm restart |
To remove the logo in xorg.conf
Option "NoLogo" "1" |
create the directory structure for the folders to keep the backup
mkdir /mnt/backup #mount $DISK /mnt/backup/ mkdir /mnt/backup/vtapes /mnt/backup/holding /mnt/backup/holding/sam chown backup.disk -R /mnt/backup/* |
create the config in /etc/amanda
mkdir /etc/amanda/sam-daily touch /etc/amanda/sam-daily/amanda.conf touch /etc/amanda/sam-daily/disklist chown -R backup.backup /etc/amanda/sam-daily |

Create the directory where the recovery should be dumped in: /mnt/recovery

localhost root amindexd amidxtaped |
Go to the /mnt/recovery folder

SOLUTION: Press 'ENTER' at the end of the file and save.
Do it by exporting Appliance and then import it preferably with new name.
PROBLEM: the virtual disks use the same lan card and the same MAC address.
SOLUTION: change the MAC address in VirtualBox and change it in the OS:
emacs /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules |
keep the interface with the new MAC address and make sure it is named eth0. Restart the OS.
Create 1 drive in virtual box and create 2 partitions:
fidsk -l cfdisk /dev/sdb |
format the partitions and mount them:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2 mkdir /media/backup-data mkdir /media/backup-data2 mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/backup-data mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/backup-data2 |
