can integrate with a Windows Server domain, either as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or as a domain member. It can also be part of an Active Directory domain.Samba runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple’s Mac OS X Server (which was added to the Mac OS X client in version 10.2). Samba is standard on nearly all distributions of Linux and is commonly included as a basic system service on other Unix-based operating systems as well. Samba is released under the GNU General Public License. The name Samba comes from SMB (Server Message Block), the name of the standard protocol used by the Microsoft Windows network file system.  (Wikipedia)

Lets  start then,

Install  samba  in  Ubuntu   can be  from Gui tool (Software  center  of  from command  line )

First we have to install sambe server, In  the termina type the command  :

sudo apt-get install samba smbfs

Now we  have  for  example  to  share  this directory  /share

lets make  a  configuration of  the samba  share :

#sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

# /etc/samba/smb.conf
 #
 [global]
 security = USER
 hosts allow =

 [homes]
 comment = Home Directories
 browseable = no
 writable = yes

 [share]
 comment = Aminesoft File Server
 path = /share/
 force user = samba
 force group = samba
 read only = No
 hosts allow =

Explain  : every  user connected to this samba  server can connect directly to his /home/directory

First  add a user (For example: aminesoftuser to  the  system, in the terminal type the command :

#sudo  adduser  aminesoftuser

root@aminesoft-desktop:~# adduser aminesoftuser

Output
Adding user `aminesoftuser’ …
Adding new group `aminesoftuser’ (1003) …
Adding new user `aminesoftuser’ (1003) with group `aminesoftuser’ …
Creating home directory `/home/aminesoftuser’ …
Copying files from `/etc/skel’ …
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for aminesoftuser
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Full Name []:

now  make  a  samba  password  for  this user    with  :

smbpasswd  -a   aminesoftuser

Output

New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user aminesoftuser.

Now  restart  your  samba  server

sudo /etc/init.d/samba   restart

Now if you have another computer with windows machine installed, test if it is working:

In your windows go to :

Start  —->   run    and insert   //ip or  //hostname

and

write your  login and  samba password

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (i.e. the shortcut which was used to restart the X server) has to be enabled in a different way with respect to previous releases of Ubuntu.

This is due to the fact that “DontZap” is no longer an option in the X server and has become an option in XKB instead.

Using GNOME

* Get to the System->Preferences->Keyboard menu.

* Select the “Layouts” tab and click on the “Layout Options” button.

* Then select “Key sequence to kill the X server” and enable “Control + Alt + Backspace”.

Using KDE

* Launch “systemsettings”

* Select “Regional & Language”.

* Select “Keyboard Layout”.

* Click on “Enable keyboard layouts” (in the Layout tab).

* Select the “Advanced” tab. Then select “Key sequence to kill the X server” and enable “Control + Alt + Backspace”.

Using the command line

You can type the following command to enable Zapping immediately.

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

If you’re happy with the new behaviour you can add that command to your ~/.xinitrc in order to make the change permanent.

Using HAL

You can add the following line in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi (inside the <match key=”info.capabilities” contains=”input.keys”> section):

<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>

In Ubuntu, the Archive Manager (or file-roller) has make it easy for anyone to compress and zip up a file or folder, but if you have a large file, say 20Gb, and you want to back it up to the CD/DVD, you will find that no amount of compression can you reduce the file size to fit into 1 CD/DVD. In such case, it is a better solution to compress and split the large file into several smaller files and store them separately. This also applies if you want to share a large file on a file-sharing site. Splitting the compressed file into several smaller files will make it easier for others to download.

Let’s say that the large file is a movie file found in /home/username/films/large-file.avi and you want to compress, split and store the smaller files at the folder /home/username/films/split-flies/, this is what you type in the terminal:

cd films/split-files (change the filepath to where you want to keep the split files)

 tar -cvj /home/username/films/large-files.avi | split -b 640m -d – “large-files.tar.bz.”

You will now see several files appearing at the split-files folder, each with file size of 640MB and with filenames large-files.tar.bz.00, large-files.tar.bz.01, large-files.tar.bz.02, etc.

To recover and extract the split files, type

cat large-files.tar.bz.* > large-files.tar.bz
 tar -xvj large-file.tar.bz

and you can get the original file back.

Most often when you download a huge file from a P2P network, it is compressed in the .daa format. When you click on it, you will find that there is no application in Ubuntu that can handle it.

If you are wondering, DAA (Direct-Access-Archive) is actually a proprietary file format created by PowerISO to compress, password protect and to split a huge file to multiple volumes. To decompress a .daa file, you have to use the PowerISO application.

Download PowerISO for Linux

Extract the tar file

cd /usr/bin
sudo tar -xf [path-to-poweriso-tar-file]

To extract .daa file

poweriso extract /input-file.daa / -od /extracted-file-path

Once again, we are going to talk about Kiwi.

Kiwi is an Imaging System, a part of the greater openSUSE Build Service, a complex, omnipotent imaging/virtualization solution that allows you to create any which kind of operating system images, fully customizable and deployable in a vast range of formats, based on your own installation, the vanilla openSUSE or any other Linux distribution.

Kiwi can achieve these tasks using XML templates, as it is geared toward power users who like automation and scripting. However, Kiwi also supports work by the means of much simpler, much friendlier GUI frontends called Image Creator and Product Creator.

The YaST Product Creator is suitable for creating the following types of images:

• Custom installation media
• Add-on products
• Live ISO images
• USB stick images
• Xen images
• Virtual disk boot images

The YaST Product Creator has some limitations:

• Creates only images for the installed architecture
• Creates images only from sources added with the YaST Installation Sources module or from newly created add-on products
• Does not support creation of bootable add-on product images

The YaST Product Creator provides configurations for all types of images. These configurations can be used as a good base for most situations. If you need a special configuration and are not familiar with the add-on configuration or editing and creating a KIWI configuration, see Creating Add-ons and en.opensuse.org/KIWI

I do a lot of writing. I also create presentations on occasion. Naturally, being an open source/Linux advocate, I use OpenOffice for all of my needs. One area where OpenOffice might consider a little less than user-friendly is the adding new templates for your use. Once you understand how this is done you will think differently about this. But until you know the secret it might take a while to figure this one out.

With the upgrade to OpenOffice 3 a new feature was added – Extensions. Extension enable you to extend the functionality of OpenOffice. Fortunately it is possible to find plenty of templates that are rolled into an extension. Let’s take a look at how this is done.

Before you do anything with the Extension Manager you need to locate some templates. The official OpenOffice Template site doesn’t really have a large selection of templates. Your best bet is to do a search for the type of template you are looking for (Writer, Impress, Calc, etc). Once you find them if the extension is .oxt it is an extension file. If that’s the case, you’re in luck, you can install this with the Extension Manager. I found probably the best collection of Impress Templates, called Modern Impress Templates.

If you open up the main OpenOffice window (this is done by issuing the command openoffice.org or opening the OpenOffice.org menu entry from your desktop. When this window opens you will notice a Tools menu. Within the Tools menu there is an entry called Extension Manager. Click on that to open up this tool.

Figure 1

From within the Extension Manager (see Figure 1) click on the Add button to open the Add Window. Navigate to where you saved the extension file, select the file, and click Open.

In some cases you might have to agree to a license. If that’s the case, read the EULA and then click Accept. Once you have done this the extension is installed. You will see the new extension listed in the Extension Manager.

You can also add templates by clicking the Templates button in the main OpenOffice window. When you click that a template chooser opens where you can click a “Get more templates online” link. Click that to open a new Firefox window on the official OpenOffice templates page. Here you can search and download specific templates. These templates will open up in their respective tool. Once that template is open click on the File menu where you will see a Templates submenu. From within the Templates submenu click on Save to open up the Tempates organizer. Give this template a name and click Save. Now when you want to use this template again go back to that Templates submenu, and click on the Organize entry. When the organizer opens double click on the My Templates folder to reveal the template you saved.

Using your templates

Figure 2

After your templates are installed go back to the main OpenOffice window and click on the Impress button and the New wizard will start (see Figure 2). Now you should see far more templates to choose from than the default.

Final thoughts

Although OpenOffice 3 ships with a poor selection of templates to choose from, extending this selection is as simple as adding an extension.  And don’t forget, you can also create your own templates in Openoffice.

gshutdown is a Graphical Shutdown Utility, you can set the shutdown /restart time graphically. Beginners can easily schedule shutdown time using this utility.

$ sudo apt-get install gshutdown

( or use synaptic package manager)
