It it just me, or does it seem like Linux setups are becoming a lot harder to manually configure. It seems like not that long ago, you could take a text editor to some very simple formatted files, and set up most of what you want to do simply by editing the files and maybe restarting the related services. Now days, many things seem to have an extended directory layout with a bunch of files in specialized formats, and the layout is not well documented at all. It effectively forces you to use gui config tools, and you had better hope the gui is not over simplified if you want to do something different or specialized. submitted by argoff [link] [1 comment]

Hey guys, little background: I'm a brand new Linux user and I am being trained by my job to get better. We run a big call center and the reps are not allowed to copy or paste anything. We've been racking our brains trying to figure out how to disable Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, is there ANY way to do this on each station? We're using Ubuntu 9.xx and we cannot install anything to the machines (they're locked down so no one can install or download). Any advice or direction??? Even something that killed the clipboard or stole control from it before it can paste anything? submitted by Omega000 [link] [comment]

Before this week on /r/Linux, I'd never heard of Wayland (granted I've only subscribed to this sub for about a month now). I get the reasons for X11 being outdated... but at this point, is there a significant performance difference for replacing X11 with Wayland on a desktop or laptop? I know this is a broad question, but it seems that Wayland's better performance on the Pi is strictly due to the physical components of the Pi. Also, is Weston just the compositor for Wayland? The names confuse me =) submitted by iskraiskra [link] [1 comment]

Notice: As 24 hours (more or less) have passed since I posted this to /debian and no responses have been submitted yet I decided to crosspost here on /linux. Thanks for reading. Hello: I will explain a little bit more: I want to set up a web server, and a plug in/add on/extension/feature that will allow other users in my network to connect (no login is required) and upload files (if I can control quotas it would be great, but not necessary by now); then I want the server to generate a random URL, like those generated by Imgur, to download. The user then will be able to share the URL with other users, so other users not knowing the URL will be able to access them. It would be great if there's an option that "Erases files older than X days". I considered other options before, like shared folders with permissions, and FTP; but I have come to decide this is the best that I need by now. A did a little bit of research and got to know about Amahi, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault, and ownCloud, but I didn't find if they support what I want, by their own terms or by added extensions. I considered myself an advanced/experienced user, and I've been using Debian since version 5. There will be no difference if the branch of the OS will be stable or testing, as I don't plan to use a desktop environment. My web server of choice is Cherokee but if Apache is needed for what I want then it'll be so; I also prefer to work with MySQL but only because it is what I'm used to. I have also tested and configured several CMS, and I like Dotclear very much. Thank you all for reading and taking part of your time in your responses. submitted by mis_suscripciones [link] [4 comments]

hi everyone, my nephew is learning linux, systems design and hacking systems together. he's working on a script (weekend.sh) that will take several arguments like "friends" "destination" "party" etc. i think he's limiting himself to 4 or 5 args for now. what he wants is an efficient one line command to feed in his arguments, e.g.: [16:22:55][me@work:~] $ ./weekend friends beach voicemail=off he can be an efficiency freak and likes to use short args and var names and wanted to know if there was a tighter more concise way to do this. thanks for the feedback. submitted by CopleyGuy [link] [1 comment]
