File and Printer sharing problems between Ubuntu 10.04 - Vista
mahidul@mahidul-desktop:~$ sudo service cups start
Ok, to get Vista to see the printer across the network, make sure the following is done:
. System>Administration>Printing>Printer>Properties> Policies has the following checked: Enabled, Accepting Jobs, Shared
. System>Administration>Printing>Printer>Properties> Access Control has "Deny printing for everyone except these users:" selected and then add all of the relevant users
. System>Administration>Printing>Server>Settings has "Publish shared printers connected to this system" checked
. System>Administration>Users and Groups>Manage Groups> has "lpadmin" added
As soon as this was done the printer showed up on the Network Window in Vista under the Ubuntu machine icon. From there I added the printer in Vista although it wanted to download the driver again.
Now it works!
There you go. Other program will be installed automatically. Have fun!!!:D

### Find a file in linux
mahidul@mahidul:~$ find / -name 'program.c' 2>/dev/null
mahidul@mahidul:~$ find / -name 'program.c' 2>errors.txt
Here,
/ Start searching from the root directory (i.e / directory)
-name Given search text is the filename rather than any other attribute of a file
'program.c'
Search text that we have entered. Always enclose the filename in single quotes.. why to do this is complex.. so simply do so.
Note : 2>/dev/null is not related to find tool as such. 2 indicates the error stream in Linux, and /dev/null is the device where anything you send simply disappears. So 2>/dev/null in this case means that while finding for the files, in case any error messages pop up simply send them to /dev/null i.e. simply discard all error messages.
Alternatively you could use 2>error.txt where after the search is completed you would have a file named error.txt in the current directory with all the error messages in it.

Web-site: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/05/list-of-22-application-indicators-for.html
### Troubleshoot_1: resolv.conf auto removed after restart
In Ubuntu 12.4 sometimes resolv.conf automitacally replace by a blank page. Just do the following step,
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
### Troubleshoot_2: rcconf is showing error "rcconf needs dialog or whiptail"

RCCONF is a TUI (text user interface) utility that lets you configure the services and daemons that are launched at system start-up.
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo apt-get install rcconf
When you install it on Ubuntu 12.04 and then launch, it returns the following error: "rcconf needs dialog or whiptail"
Dialog and whiptail are utilities to display user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts. Despite the fact that whiptail comes preinstalled with the system, rcconf doesn't run. To solve this, install dialog:
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo apt-get install dialog
Now launch a terminal, and run rcconf.

File and Printer sharing problems between Ubuntu 10.04 - Vista
mahidul@mahidul-desktop:~$ sudo service cups start
Ok, to get Vista to see the printer across the network, make sure the following is done:
. System>Administration>Printing>Printer>Properties> Policies has the following checked: Enabled, Accepting Jobs, Shared
. System>Administration>Printing>Printer>Properties> Access Control has "Deny printing for everyone except these users:" selected and then add all of the relevant users
. System>Administration>Printing>Server>Settings has "Publish shared printers connected to this system" checked
. System>Administration>Users and Groups>Manage Groups> has "lpadmin" added
As soon as this was done the printer showed up on the Network Window in Vista under the Ubuntu machine icon. From there I added the printer in Vista although it wanted to download the driver again.
Now it works!
There you go. Other program will be installed automatically. Have fun!!!:D

### Find a file in linux
mahidul@mahidul:~$ find / -name 'program.c' 2>/dev/null
mahidul@mahidul:~$ find / -name 'program.c' 2>errors.txt
Here,
/ Start searching from the root directory (i.e / directory)
-name Given search text is the filename rather than any other attribute of a file
'program.c'
Search text that we have entered. Always enclose the filename in single quotes.. why to do this is complex.. so simply do so.
Note : 2>/dev/null is not related to find tool as such. 2 indicates the error stream in Linux, and /dev/null is the device where anything you send simply disappears. So 2>/dev/null in this case means that while finding for the files, in case any error messages pop up simply send them to /dev/null i.e. simply discard all error messages.
Alternatively you could use 2>error.txt where after the search is completed you would have a file named error.txt in the current directory with all the error messages in it.

### Troubleshoot_1: resolv.conf auto removed after restart
In Ubuntu 12.4 sometimes resolv.conf automitacally replace by a blank page. Just do the following step,
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
### Troubleshoot_2: rcconf is showing error "rcconf needs dialog or whiptail"
Ubuntu 12.04 - rcconf needs dialog or whiptail
RCCONF is a TUI (text user interface) utility that lets you configure the services and daemons that are launched at system start-up.
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo apt-get install rcconf
When you install it on Ubuntu 12.04 and then launch, it returns the following error: "rcconf needs dialog or whiptail"
Dialog and whiptail are utilities to display user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts. Despite the fact that whiptail comes preinstalled with the system, rcconf doesn't run. To solve this, install dialog:
mahidul@mahidul:~$ sudo apt-get install dialog
Now launch a terminal, and run rcconf.
