Ubuntu Forum had an exact same case and workaround.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1649657

So, I put the following lines in remoet host’s /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Workaround to have X forwarding work when ipv6 is disabled

AddressFamily inet

————-

It worked.

The following page shows a great resolution/workaround.

http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2008/03/10/rdesktop-connect-to-windows-vista-with-cleartype-font-smoothing-enabled/

$ rdesktop -u mywinusername -k en-us -g 93% -x 80 -r sound myhostipaddress

Two other options than -x 80 are shown in the page above, -x 81 and -x 8f.  (Refer to the page above.)

[WARNING] repository metadata for: ‘org.apache.maven.plugins’ could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file: Connection timed out

Finally, it turned out that the proxies section in settings.xml was not commented/uncommented properly. Windows XP Firewall or security software had nothing to do with the error.

Install Trang on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
$ sudo apt-get install trang

This time, I used Trang to generate an XSD file from an XML file.

$ trang -I xml -O xsd InputXmlFile.xml OutputXSDFile.xsd

Reference:
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/cvs-server.html

# apt-get install xinetd
# apt-cache search git-cvs
# apt-get install git-cvs
# apt-cache search cvsps
# apt-get install cvsps

Edit /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver .

# vi /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver

The file now looks:

# cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
type = UNLISTED
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f –allow-root /opt/cvsroot pserver
disable = no
}

# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Ensure CVS server is running.

# netstat -tap | grep cvs
tcp 0 0 *:cvspserver *:* LISTEN 11676/xinetd

Finding the following entry, I made /etc/X11/xorg.conf as shown below.

Then, the screen resolution became 1024×768.

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Install paprefs
$ sudo apt-get install paprefs

$ paprefs
In “Network Access Tab”, check both:
Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally
Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally

System’s sound setting allows you to choose AirTunes sound device as output.

Instead, schtasks command allows cron-like setting.

To set a job (a batch file) to run every 5 minutes, here’s a sample command.

Grub Stage 1.5

Grub Loading, Please Wait
Error 18

My initial configuration was to use an entire HDD (one partition for the mountpoint / and another for swap).

According to the web page below, I made a separate /boot partition with 200MB, from the root (/) partition, placing the /boot at the first partition (/dev/hda1) of the HDD.

Then, base system installation was completed with GUI installation and Debian was successfully booted.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/grub-loading-please-wait-error-18-a-343280/

Motherboard: ASUS CUSL2-C (BIOS 1009, which is the latest release)
HDD: Hitachi HTS541616J9AT00 (160GB)

Incidentally, with this motherboard with Matrox G400 Video card, X window was not configured properly, and I am still researching.

I followed Hadoop Quick Start available at:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/quickstart.html

Check Java version — Java 1.6.x is required, and Sun version is preferred. See:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/quickstart.html

Download hadoop-0.20.2.tar.gz from:
http://hadoop.apache.org/mapreduce/releases.html#Download

$ tar xvzf hadoop-0.20.2.tar.gz

Skip rsync and ssh installation, as they are already available on the machine.

// Check the command usage:
$ cd hadoop-0.20.2
$ bin/hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
namenode -format format the DFS filesystem
secondarynamenode run the DFS secondary namenode
namenode run the DFS namenode
datanode run a DFS datanode
dfsadmin run a DFS admin client
mradmin run a Map-Reduce admin client
fsck run a DFS filesystem checking utility
fs run a generic filesystem user client
balancer run a cluster balancing utility
jobtracker run the MapReduce job Tracker node
pipes run a Pipes job
tasktracker run a MapReduce task Tracker node
job manipulate MapReduce jobs
queue get information regarding JobQueues
version print the version
jar run a jar file
distcp copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME * create a hadoop archive
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
or
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.
