Boot on text mode
Copy and paste below command into terminal and hit enter:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

This opens Grub boot loader config file with text editor.
2. Do below changes:

• Comment the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”, by adding # at the beginning, which will disable the Ubuntu purple screen.
• Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”text”, this makes Ubuntu boot directly into Text Mode.
• Uncomment this line #GRUB_TERMINAL=console, by removing the # at the beginning, this makes Grub Menu into real black & white Text Mode (without background image)

3. After saved the changes, update grub via command:

sudo update-grub

mutt 

$ mutt -s "Test mail" -a /tmp/file.tar.gz you@email.com < /tmp/mailmessage.txt
 <ESC> the :wq 

sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf

VNC or NX USB mounting problem


I would VNC in but the external drives could not be mounted due to gnome policykit controls (for security’s sake).

So, here’s how to enable disk mounting in a VNC session in policykit.

CD into /etc/polkit-1/localauthority

net.reactivated.fprint.device.policy org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.policy
org.fedoraproject.config.services.policy
org.fedoraproject.systemconfig.kdump.policy
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy
org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1.policy
org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
org.freedesktop.devicekit.power.policy
org.freedesktop.devicekit.power.qos.policy
org.freedesktop.modem-manager.policy
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.policy
org.freedesktop.packagekit.policy
org.freedesktop.policykit.policy
org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.policy
org.gnome.control-center.defaultbackground.policy
org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy
org.gnome.gconf.defaults.policy
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.wacom.policy
org.gnome.system-monitor.policy
org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.policy
The one we’ll want to edit is org.freedesktop.udisks.policy.
First, backup this file:
sudo cp /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy.bak (or any other location you prefer).
In the terminal, run the following command: vi /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
Look for this section:
<action id=”org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount”>
<description>Mount a device</description>
<description xml:lang=”da”>Montér en enhed</description>
<message>Authentication is required to mount the device</message>
<message xml:lang=”da”>Autorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system</message>
<defaults> <allow_any>yes</allow_any>
      <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>

Apache setting

http://brennan.id.au/13-Apache_Web_Server.html#users
Configure Apache for public_html
Apache can be configured to use a folder ( usually public_html ) in any user's home directory. This is relatively straight forward if you don't mind editing the httpd.conf file and changing a few file permissions...
A complete guide can be found here.
Step 1 - Change httpd.conf
In fedora and red-hat the correct configuration is already there. It's just commented out.

#> vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
# The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be
# accessible to the webserver userid. This usually means that ~userid
# must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions
# of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.
# Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message.
#
# See also: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden
#

#
# UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence
# of a username on the system (depending on home directory
# permissions).
#
#UserDir disable

#
# To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html
# directory, remove the "UserDir disable" line above, and uncomment
# the following line instead:
#
UserDir public_html


Step 2 - Reload the httpd.conf

#>service httpd reload

Step 2 - Ensure that selinux is enabled for user_dir

#> setsebool httpd_enable_homedirs true


Step 3 - Ensure the correct access permissions are set on the home directory
As normal user in home directory

~> chmod a+x ~

Step 5 - Create the public_html directory

~> mkdir public_html

Step 6 - Set the selinux type label for public_html

~> chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t public_html

Step 7 - Create a web page or php script in your public_html folder and browse to it by:

http://localhost/~david/phpinfo.php
