Unmount first: Places → Computer → Select USB pen → Right click → Select Unmount Volume

Look for the Linux device of your stick: (in this case: /dev/sdb)

philipp@lion:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb
[sudo] password for philipp:

Using /dev/sdb

Overview – Software:

Get the packages (linux headers and build tools):

sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential

blacklist the wrong driver, get the fixed driver sources and unpack them:

echo 'blacklist r8169' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://media.ubuntuusers.de/forum/attachments/1663589/r8101-1.010.00.ta.gz
mv r8101-1.010.00.ta.gz r8101-1.010.00.tar.gz
tar xvzf r8101-1.010.00.tar.gz
cd ~/Downloads/r8101-1.010.00

change line line 34 of the file src/Makefile to

$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules

and add the following line in the top of the file

PWD := $(shell pwd)

then compile

sudo make
sudo insmod ./src/r8101.ko
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u

restart and check:

  • Download the PPD files from http://www.studentendruck.uni-frankfurt.de/technik_drucker.html and save them to /usr/share/ppd/custom/
  • lpadmin -p blacknwhite_hrz -v smb://${HRZ-LOGIN:HRZ-PASSWORD}@ntsamba1.server.uni-frankfurt.de/schwarzweiss -P /usr/share/ppd/custom/<PPD-Datei> -E
  • do the same for colour_hrz …
  • lpq -P schwarzweiss_hrz gives → schwarzweiss_hrz is ready, no entries

Indexed search systems help you find your files faster and easier. They keep an index of the files on your computer and don’t search the files themselves but look up the search phrase / meta data in their database. Ubuntu offers different choices for an indexed search system.

(An example for a proprietary indexed search system is Spotlight on OS X)

Possible candidates on Ubuntu Linux are: tracker (Gnome), beagle, strigi (KDE) or pinot.
Interfaces: deskbar.

tracker

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tracker
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Tracker

installed by default

System → Preferences → Search and Indexing
→ Enable Indexing: YES
→ Enable Watching: YES

$ sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force

alternatively:

$ sudo echo mem > /sys/power/state

or as gdm does it (see /etc/gdm/gdm.conf → constant SuspendCommand):

$ sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

you can run this script and therefore suspend remotely with ssh option -t to prevent echo on the terminal:

ssh philipp@lion "sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend"

alternatively change the settings to allow the script to be run with no password given using sudo:

sudo visudo

add the following line to /etc/sudoers:

philipp ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

another example (the above seems not to work…):

%users     ALL = NOPASSWD: ~/path/to/binary
