In order to get a Citrix client to work on any workstation at our hospital, we need to have a workstation name identified for printing and possibly security reasons. When using Windows to connect to citrix, the workstation name is sent to the citrix server and all is happy but on Macintosh, you need to edit:
\user\<username>\library\preferences\citrix ica client\Config and add a line after the [WFClient] section like this:
[WFClient]
ClientName=COMPUTERNAME
I wanted to install gnash and adobe flash plugins side-by-side and thought it would be pretty easy using update-alternatives. I have tried using update-alternatives before when trying to run the 64bit flash beta plugin side-by-side with the normal flash plugin.
This all works as long as you don’t have a stray symlink to libgnashplugin.so
I slightly modified the below command to: find / -name libgnashplugin.so -type l -exec ls -l {} \;
Output is nice except for the “Permission Denied” notifications.
Richy’s Random Ramblings » Techy: Find All Symlinks (Symbolic Links) on a Linux System
I’ve just needed to try and find all symbolic links (symlinks) on a RedHat Enterprise Linux server so I can replicate the setup of the server (for some reason, the config files and other settings are in “non-standard” places and are symlinked from the original location).To find all the sym links, just run this simple Linux command line option:
find / -type l -exec ls -l {} \;(and, if you would prefer all the symlinks to be stored in a file – as there will be a very large number of them – use the command find / -type l -exec ls -l {} \; > /home/admin/symlinks.txt).
I hope this helps somebody else who has to work with undocumented strangely configured Linux machines.
Over the years, I have joined Ubuntu to a Microsoft Domain in a couple different ways. The first method I had tried was quite manual and described on Ubuntu’s Community Documentation website. The last 2-3 times, I have joined Ubuntu computers, I started using a new automated method provided by Likewise Open.
I found some likewise-open documentation for the older version of Ubuntu 8.04. Since the process is automated, the documentation hasn’t changed much. However, one of the features of the manual process was allowing users to connect to the samba server on my Ubuntu machine. I had to piece together how to get this to also work. Maybe there will be a modification to likewise-open5 eventually that will include some automation with this.
