A problem I always had with ubuntu was the configuration of Apache virtual hosts. Once they where installed I needed to put them into the host file and each time I reconnected to a network the NetworkManager rewrote the hosts file annoying me and the fact that if one was configured localhost would also begin pointing to it, a rather nasty thing.

First you need to open the console and login with your root user, type su and fedora will already know what to do.

You need to shutdown the httpd servic deamon with the command :

  1. /etc/init.d/httpd stop

You will have to open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, once opened you will have to locate the section on virtual hosts and you should see an example that is already commented out., I edited the files with nano in the console.

  1. ### Section 3: Virtual Hosts

Instead of telling you which lines to uncomment, I’m going to show you below, the stanzas to add to the Virtual Host section to get companyABC.com and companyDEF.com websites running:

After you have added the host(s), save the file. At this point, you will need to add the appropriate records to your DNS server to make these domains reachable by anyone on the network. If you have no access to a DNS server (BIND9), or you just want to test the configuration, just edit your /etc/hosts file. Here is what my file looks like:

  1. # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
  2. # that require network functionality will fail.
  3. 127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
  4. 127.0.0.1               host1.loc
  5. 127.0.0.1               host2.loc

Once hosts is saved you just restart your server and everything should work without a problem

type: ‘about:config’ in your address-bar and click that you’ll be careful with the settings
search for: ‘browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll’ and double click it

You don’t have to relaunch Firefox for the browser to notice the change.

Go to “about:config”, you know to inspect the sqllite db firefox stores everything in.
`Filter` for ‘browser.backspace_action’ and change its value to 0 (zero).

Gnome bugs me much for it’s problem to properly control the brightness on my portable but apart from that it’s nice.

Now, a team of developers has brought a mac osx like feature to ubuntu or gnome: gnome-do. check it out, install and enjoy:

The bugs I found:

  1. Firefox is still running even if everything is closed
  2. Movie player crashes if you fast forward a bit
  3. emerald and compiz run with problems
  4. Less control over what you install rails is at version 2.1.x and I updated but still if I run
    1. rails appname

    and then

    firefox 0.0.0.0:3000

I get rails version 2.0.2 and I already reinstalled ubuntu just for that

Ubuntu has issues and if I can get gentoo running on my laptop I’ll change gladly. Unfortunantly gentoo has problems in virtualbox something with xorg server so I have to check that out.
