Postfix Autoreply/Out-of-Office Virtual HOWTO

Imbattutomi nell’arduo problema di trovare un modo per configurare un autorisponditore sul server di posta di un cliente che usa account virtuali e non di sistema, ho finalmente risolto l’arcano ricordandomi della mitica funzione “pipe” di Postfix, ecco come fare:

Se avete Postfix configurato su mysql dovrete inanzitutto aggiungere un “transport” nella tabella appropriata del tipo:

Dominio: “autoreply.domain.tld” -> Transport: “autoreply:”

La stessa cosa puo’ essere fatta se usate i file invece del db:

/etc/postfix/transport:
autoreply.domain.tld autoreply:

Howto: Install a frontend on your Server with NX

This howto will explain to you how to install a frontend on your server which is accessible via NX. This tutorial is for Debian based systems, and has been tested on an Flosoft.biz FlexServ (RPS).

1. Check the basic Debian setup.

We need to modify the sources.list

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following 2 lines:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free

Close and save (:wq) and run this command to update:

apt-get update

Then check if your system is up to date, and if necessary install updates.

apt-get dist-upgrade

How to install Ubuntu Gutsy on a MacBook 3,1 generation

My new Ubuntu DesktopI recently bought a wonderful Apple Macbook last generation (Santarosa 3,1) but when I tried to run my best Linux distribution (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon) I ran into a lot of problems. Almost everything doesn’t work out-of-the-box so I looked at wiki, documentation and Google to find out how to arrange them.
This is my personal guide to install Ubuntu Gutsy and work with all the hardware of the Macbook in Linux, try it at your own risk :)

Debian: HOWTO find a package containing a certain file

Debian: HOWTO find a package containing a certain file

(this example works on Debian-based systems too):

# apt-file update && apt-file search /usr/share/doc/rails/README.railties
rails: usr/share/doc/rails/README.railties
#

This example was me searching a package containing /usr/share/doc/rails/README.railties file. The result tells that rails is the package.
