Use Google Linux repositories in Ubuntu
View original post
Google’s Linux software repositories make it easier to download and stay up-to-date with current releases of Google Linux applications. Please choose one of the guides below to help configure your system to use these repositories.
First you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line
# Google software repository
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
Save and exit the file
you must download the key and then use apt to install it and refresh your package indexes.
Run these commands as root:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
Now you need to update the source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
Install google applications now you can see the following command to install google picasa
sudo apt-get install picasa

Full Mail Server Solution w/ Virtual Domains & Users (Debian Etch, Postfix, Mysql, Dovecot, DSpam, ClamAV, Postgrey, RBL)

Full Mail Server Solution w/ Virtual Domains & Users
(Debian Etch, Postfix, MySQL, DoveCot, DSpam, ClamAV, Postgrey, RBL)
This guide describes how to setup a full email solution in
Debian Linux (all code is from Debian Etch). I was asked to
design a secure, scalable, portable solution for a small company.
While the guide references many ’servers’, the
company only had 4 physical machines, Xen was used to virtualize the
entire
solution. That particular aspect of the system is not
discussed in this guide, although I will try to get it into the next
revision.

Merging Multiple Apache Access Logs Into One Overall Access Log

Merging Multiple Apache Access Logs Into One Overall Access Log
Let’s assume you have a web application that runs of a cluster of
Apache nodes. Each node generates its own Apache access log from which
you can generate page view statistics with tools such as Webalizer or AWStats.
Obviously you do not want to have page view statistics for each Apache
node, but overall page view statistics. To achieve this, we must merge
the access logs from each node into one overall access log that we can
then feed into Webalizer or AWstats. There is a Perl script called logresolvemerge.pl (part of the AWStats package) that can do this for us.

Quick Look at KDE4 in openSUSE: Plasma, Kickoff, JuK, KmPlot, KGet
View original post
With a little bit of extra time, I thought I would try out KDE4 to see how it’s progressing; if you’re on openSUSE, all you need to do is install the latest KDE4 packages which are always available. Alternatively, you could always try the openSUSE-based (which can be easily created with KIWI) live CD: KDE Four Live. My overall opinion: it’s looking really really great.
Since a review and screenshot tour of the overall desktop has been well-covered elsewhere, I thought I would just take a look at a few things, some of which particularly interest me.
The Desktop: Plasma
Plasma is actually progressing pretty well. You shouldn’t expect it to be bug-free, but I can really see everything coming together. Plasmoids are definitely going to take off, and I’m sure you’ll be able to eventually find one for just about anything you want. Obligatory desktop shot:
Kickoff
Kickoff is being developed in upstream KDE now, and Robert Knight is leading development of Kickoff in KDE4. There are some nice new touch-ups compared to the openSUSE version so far, including the raise animation on-hover, and a small graphic to represent disk usage:
JuK
JuK is progressing well and it’s incredibly speedy. Loading my 6000+ track playlist takes quite literally 2 seconds. It’s light, fast, very tidy, and has all the features you would need and expect: album cover art, tag guessing from Internet, etc.
KmPlot
Many others have blogged about KMPlot as well, but it’s really nice to see it becoming so mature, featureful, and quite genuinely an all-purpose function plotter. The layout has nicely improved, you can trivially plot first and second derivatives, show the integral, and a lot of other cool stuff around the place everywhere:
KGet: now with Metalink support!
I’m really beginning to feel that KGet is becoming the world’s best downloader. In KDE4 it has a plethora of modifications, while of course still remaining simple for the very general use-case of downloading a single file or document. One of the new features I’m most excited about is the Metalink support that it will come with. Metalink is an Open Standard that bundles the various ways (FTP/HTTP/P2P) to get files into one format for easier downloads.
In openSUSE we recommend metalinks a lot to users during release time, since it spreads the load on the mirrors and pretty much guarantees that they’ll be downloading at the maximum of their broadband’s capacity. Metalink support in KDE4’s KGet is working already, take a look below:
Conclusion
KDE4 is set to be truly awesome. What really makes things that extra bit wonderful is not only great new desktop innovations like solid, plasma and phonon — but even more so: the improvements in just about every single application (as you can see, with some examples, above). In this new release all of KDE is getting a full and much improved makeover.

Installing LAMP Server Using TASKEL (desktop edition)
View original post
This is to help people install LAMP(LINUX-APACHE-MYSQL-PHP) server in ubuntu(if u use the desktop edition,not for server edition).There are many ways in installing LAMP in a desktop edition. now lets see them.
The first way is using commands in the terminal…. the command is…
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-xsl php5-gd php-pear libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
The second way to install is using TASKEL… a TASKEL is a software application tool that groups some packages into tasks and allows the user to install the packages from the task.. u can install it from the terminal by typing…
sudo taskel install lamp-server
Another way of suing the TASKEL is by using the SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER … open synaptic package manager from
system->administration->synaptic package manager
then in the edit menu click on mark packages by taskel and from the list select LAMP server and apply…. it installs the lamp server on to ur system!!!

Setting Up A High-Availability Load Balancer (With Failover and Session Support) With HAProxy/Keepalived On Debian Etch

Setting Up A High-Availability Load Balancer (With Failover and Session Support) With HAProxy/Keepalived On Debian Etch
This article explains how to set up a two-node load balancer in an active/passive configuration with HAProxy
and keepalived on Debian Etch. The load balancer sits between the user
and two (or more) backend Apache web servers that hold the same
content. Not only does the load balancer distribute the requests to the
two backend Apache servers, it also checks the health of the backend
servers. If one of them is down, all requests will automatically be
redirected to the remaining backend server. In addition to that, the
two load balancer nodes monitor each other using keepalived, and if the
master fails, the slave becomes the master, which means the users will
not notice any disruption of the service. HAProxy is session-aware,
which means you can use it with any web application that makes use of
sessions (such as forums, shopping carts, etc.).
