NaQ's Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)

[kraudlem]

Yep, your tutorial is really great. These are my first steps with linux and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I think it's thanks to your tut, that my experience was rather gentle. Just one thing I'm stuck at: I tried running firestarter for the first time with sudo firestarter and I got(and still get) a lot of windows with errors and this error in xterm: Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo
gnome_segv: /home/dajobe/dev/debian/cairo/cairo-1.2.4/src/cairo-image-surface.c:155: _cairo_format_from_pixman_format: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.

Can you(or any other linux-pro) help me? I'm sure it's just some minor detail I'm missing-_-

You didn't mention that you restarted vsftpd, make sure you do that and it should work.

About the cairo error, I'll look into it later.

Additionally: Firefox doesn't seem to work, too. That's the error:
sh-3.1$ firefox
Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format:

But I used Lynx, and it was pretty cool^_^

Thank you for even thinking about me:-)

Great tutorial! I have only one problem though.

How do I connect via FTP after setting the FTP port range in step 8, what port should I use to connect?

Great tutorial, naq!

Some applications I use are blockhosts, ncftp, and torrentflux b4rt (instead of using vnc/utorrent).

this guide is great! did this on my second seedbox.
but i have a question.... i also have kimsufi server with win2003.i would like it to be set up like this... but i have alot of rss feeds from different trackers in kimsufi... is there a way that rss will work in wine (linux) as i heard it doesn't work :S
i would need to backup rss.dat file, right? and then upload via ftp?

Great tutorial! I have only one problem though.

You connect to the "listen_port=#" set in vsftpd.conf with your client.

Or port 21 if you haven't set that up. Remember to have whichever port that is forwarded in the firewall.

If blockhosts or any other programs are worth using in your opinions, I'll look into adding them into the guide. But I'm real busy atm to work much with the guide. And sorry, I haven't had time to look into the cairo problem.

A person I know got RSS to work with uTorrent/wine in bitmetv. But I personally haven't ever used this feature.

[Hrvoje]

hm, can you ask that person to elaborate how did he made rss to work
