webmin install and login for the first time on ubuntu linux

Filed under: ubuntu — aurimas.norkevicius @ 12:15 am

To instal webmin on ubuntu use

sudo apt-get install webmin webmin-core

The problem i faced was that I could not login for the first time. The solution is

1.

add line

username:x:0

(where username is a valid user of your system) to your/etc/webmin/miniserv.users file

2.

modify file /etc/webmin/webmin.acl

make the line

root: acl change-users ... etc.

to look like

username: acl change-users ... etc.

Do not change anything in the existing line in your file, just replace root with any valid user.

Totem Video Player Do Not Play DiVx AVI Movies

Filed under: ubuntu — aurimas.norkevicius @ 8:31 pm

My totem used not to play avi movies. The problem was that

sudo apt-get install totem

installs totem which is based on gstreamer (totem-gstreamer). After i did

sudo apt-get install totem-xine

(it also uninstalled totem-gstreamer) totem started to play divx avi movies. So as you see the totem setup process is easy:)
