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

Don't forget the space between utorrent.exe and /noinstall. ;-)

The command is : wine utorrent.exe /noinstall

In this command, "wine" calls the program wine, "utorrent.exe" is the program Wine has to launch, and "/noinstall" is the option. They are three separate words.

Hope it helps. ^^

It did help, thanks a lot and you got it right.. i missed the space

Just gotta sort out how to install additional ip's in ubuntu now and i should be done. Any ideas?

[Yuuko]

Glad to know you succeeded. :-)

What do you mean by "additional ip's" ?

What do you mean by "additional ip's" ?

We are sharing the seedbox so wanted to have a unique ip each user to prevent problems with trackers.
I got 4 ips from kimsufi so wanted to assign them to users. There is info in section 9 of the tutorial but says:
Configure Multiple IP Addresses
(Only for Fedora Core/CentOS right now)
Nothing that I can find for Ubuntu. I'm on Ubuntu server 9.10 btw

Try this :

# nano /etc/network/interfaces
or
$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Append text as follows:

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
name Ethernet alias LAN card
address 192.168.1.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0

Save and close the file.

Restart the network:
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

The Ip's I gave are to be changed with the ones OVH gave you.

[GillBates]

I tried with the example you sent plus the way as described on the OVH website as follows:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
network xxx.xxx.xxx.0
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.254

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address IP.DE.FAIL.OVER
netmask 255.255.255.255

Neither way will allow me to restart the networks though. It says this:

root@ksXXXXX:~# pico /etc/network/interfaces
root@ksXXXXX:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... /etc/network/interfaces:1: misplaced option
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:1: misplaced option
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"

[Yuuko]

Seems there is a typo in the text you edited with pico. Can you post the content with pico, please ?

[GillBates]

This is the entire contents of the networks as it is now:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xx.xxx.0
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
gateway xx.xx.xxx.254

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
network xx.xx.xxx.0

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
network xx.xx.xxx.0

auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
network xxx.xxx.xxx.0

The eth0 being the server IP and the 3 failover IPs on eth0:0-2

[Yuuko]

Maybe changing it this way ?

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xx.xxx.0
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
gateway xx.xx.xxx.254

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
network xx.xx.xxx.0

auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xx.xx.xxx.255
network xx.xx.xxx.0

auto eth0:3
iface eth0:3 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
network xxx.xxx.xxx.0

Great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to compile this.
I however unfortunatly came accross a problem on installing wine, i am running debian 4.0 and when i try apt-get install wine i get this message.

The following packages have unmet dependancies.
wine: depends: libwine-print (= 1.0.0-1~bpo40+1) but it is not going to be installed.
E: broken packages

edit - Ok ive tried this
# apt-get build-dep wine

Debian 64-bit users will need some extra packages:
# apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1-dev Then i installed as normal
Now when i check my version i have 1.0 now should i upgrade the wine to 1.7 as i ve seen there may be problems with 1.0 or do i need to upgrade to debian 5.0?

Thanks in advance
