September 25, 2008 by Hughes (Erlang) Let’s say you want to give a try to Erlang (Discover our post about Why Erlang?) for your next web development project and you want to be up and running as quickly as possible… you just landed smoothly in the right place. This post is the starting point of a series of posts in which I’m going to provide you with all the commands you’ll need to set up an Ubuntu 8.04 server loaded with Erlang, Mochiweb proxied by Nginx. In the same series, I’ll also cover: * The basic configuration of Postfix (mail) * The use of Imagemagick to create dynamically a captcha for your application * The configuration of Bind9 in order to play with the url CNAME The goal here is not to set up an hardened production server with all the optimizations
Setting up USB on Ubuntu 7.04
Contributed by Ibrahim Ben Faruhn, 2007/06/14
After I had a taken a look into the insides of Ubuntu 7.04, I managed to get VirtualBox's USB-Support working there in such a way that the user only needs to be a member of a group called usbusers. This howto describes how I did it.
Basically, you just have to tell Ubuntu that a group called usbusers should have read and write access to all usb devices.
1. Create a group called usbusers
2. Add yourself to this group
3. Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules (for this, you must have administrative privileges)
3.1 Search for the following lines
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
3.2 Change them to the following
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usbusers", MODE="0664"
4. Restart your PC
5. You should now have write access to all usb devices.
how you can convert a physical Windows system (XP, 2003, 2000, NT4 SP4+) into a VMware virtual machine with the free VMware Converter Starter. The resulting virtual machine can be run in the free VMware Player and VMware Server, and also in VMware Worksta
