Ubuntu, Launchpad and PPA

Nov 162010

One interesting thing about Ubuntu is that you can follow on launchpad the bug presents in the packages of the distribution, see the progress and contribute to testing PPA on your Ubuntu installation and giving feedback back.

But let see this process in detail and how each of us can help the community.

Launchpad, developed by Canonical, is a system used to keep track of many aspects of open-source development. Landscape’s features include code hosting, bug tracking, translation, feature blueprints and a community-based answer tracker.

Ubuntu uses Launchpad for project management. You can visit Ubuntu’s Launchpad project page for more information.

Those who work with Linux servers, but also those who use Linux as a desktop every day knows that it is very useful to have a list of processes running on the machine with a list of resources they are using, to see who is eating all the memory or is using all the CPU, and the ps command is not exactly the most convenient.

You can go to the website of the radio and probably find the link “listen live”, or equivalent that will start a nice flash player, not so easy right?

In the previous article we looked at what’s the use LVS, to have a system of load balancing built into the Linux kernel. As mentioned, however, LVS was born to be good in one thing: the load balance, but does not provide additional options, such as monitoring the progress of the machines on which we are balancing service and in case of trouble in one machine remove it from the active machines.

To accomplish this goal and many more wel” take a look at ldirectord

Linux Virtual Server, LVS is an advanced load balancing solution for Linux systems. It is an open source project started by Wensong Zhang in May 1998. The mission of the project is to build a high-performance and highly available server for Linux using clustering technology, which provides good scalability, reliability and serviceability.

The major work of the LVS project is now to develop advanced IP load balancing software (IPVS), application-level load balancing software (KTCPVS), and cluster management components.
