apport-collect will then go find all the open tasks for that bug (just in case it is assigned to more than one package), run all of the apport-hooks for those packages, and attach that information to the bug report. It does all of this with out any other interaction with the reporter. To see which packages already have apport hooks available for them, see the Apport wiki page. Now, we all need to start adding more apport hooks so this is even more useful.

e.g:

fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ apport-collect -p ubuntuone-client 375249
Logging into Launchpad…
The authorization page (https://edge.launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=mSqpzgwT2G92DdNCSV7J) should be opening in your browser. After you have authorized this program to access Launchpad on your behalf you should come back here and press <Enter> to finish the authentication process.

Ubuntu One: http://ubuntuone.com
==================================

You have received a private invitation to Ubuntu One Services.

Hello Ubuntu Member!

Over the last six months, you may have heard rumors about new web services for Ubuntu. Well, those services are almost here. It’s called Ubuntu One, and we’d like to invite you and the rest of the Ubuntu Team to be part of the first group of beta users.

What is Ubuntu One?
——————-
Ubuntu One is a portfolio of online services designed around the Ubuntu desktop experience. This means that Ubuntu users will soon have a suite of tools that fully link all their desktops with personal and easy-to-use cloud services.

Ubuntu One will launch with online file storage, file sharing with other Ubuntu One users, and automatic file synchronisation between all your computers. These features will not only be useful to individuals but also improve the collaboration experience of any team.

File storage, sync, and sharing are only the beginning for Ubuntu One. We are already planning and building more collaboration-focused features that will be released over the coming months. We’re also excited to see how developers will use upcoming Ubuntu One web and desktop APIs to build innovative cloud features into existing and new applications.

We want to make it easy for every Ubuntu user to become a member of Ubuntu One so, in addition to paid subscriptions, we’re committed to offering a free service with a lower storage capacity. Members with free subscriptions will have access to up to 2GB of storage while the paid plan will include up to 10GB for $10 USD per month. Both the free and paid plans will be enhanced as we roll out new services.

How can you get involved?
————————-
We would like you to join the Ubuntu One beta test and let us know what you think. Please follow these steps to signup and download the client software.

1. Click on your invitation link at the bottom of this message.
2. Subscribe to either the free or paid plan option.
3. Go to ubuntuone.com/support/installation to download and setup the client software.
4. Copy files to your Ubuntu One storage space and share with your friends. They will receive invitations when you create shares.

We know your help in testing Ubuntu One will enable us to stabilize and improve it much faster than we could on our own. So please try it out, use it any way you like, and keep the bug reports and suggestions coming.

As with any testing period, we don’t recommend putting the only copy of your tax return in Ubuntu One just yet. We will also have occasional downtime, but will generally strive to keep the system continuously available as well as refine our processes and infrastructure to avoid repeating any downtime that occurs.

Please use following tools to report issues and ask the development team questions.
* Launchpad bugs – https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone
* IRC – #ubuntuone on freenode
* Email discussion list – https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users

Thank you for your numerous contributions to Ubuntu and we look forward to your feedback.

The Ubuntu One Team

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank.

Here is the simple way to create signature using HTML code for Thunderbird.
I’m uisng font Times New Roman in this example:

**

<font face=“times new roman”>
Regards,
<br><b>NAME</b>
<br>POSITION
<br>COMPANY
<br><img moz-do-not-send=“false” src=“file:PICTURE_DIRECTORY”> PHONE_NUMBER
<a href=“mailto:MAIL_ADDRESS”> MAIL_ADDRESS</a>
</font>

**
A lil’ bit explanation for the code up there:

• Since i want to use font Times New Roman for my signature, so, i open the code with <font face=”FONT_NAME”>, and I end the font face at the bottom of the quote </font>. Actually, not only u can change the font used but u also can change the color, size n etc

• Next, I want to start with a new line, so i put command <br>, it stands for break from the current like make a new line

• Instead of using the same style for the font, i change the name using bold function <b> and u must have the end quote for bold </b>

• This is the code for you to add picture <img moz-do-not-send=”false” src=”file:PICTURE_DIRECTORY”>, we need moz-do-not-send=”false” to ensure that html accept the picture. For Picture_Directory, make sure that you put the full path.

• This is how for u to add e-mail links in your HTML code <a href=”mailto:MAIL_ADDRESS”> MAIL_ADDRESS</a>

• Save the file with extension html, e.g: FILE_NAME.html

That’s all for it.. Have fun!!

VirtualBox’s GUI doesn’t expose this functionality, but the VBoxManage command line utility does. Before starting, remember to close your virtual machine before changing it’s configuration.

You need five pieces of information:

• your virtual machine’s name in VirtualBox
• a descriptive name for your port forward
• the guest port
• the host port
• the protocol to use (TCP or UDP).

These three terminal commands are used to set up the port forward (replace bold sections with your information):
VBoxManage setextradata GuestName “VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/DescriptiveName/HostPort” HostPort

VBoxManage setextradata GuestName “VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/DescriptiveName/Protocol” Protocol

For Example:

fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris “VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/HostPort” 2222
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.4
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris “VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/GuestPort” 22
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.4
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris “VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/Protocol” TCP
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.4
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

In this case, you could now connect via SSH to the guest though port 2222 on the host:
ssh -p 2222 localhost

The guest is available from other machines on the network as well though the same port at the host’s IP address (if your firewall allows it).

You can set up as many port forwards as you wish, just keep changing your DescriptiveName value. To remove a port forward, repeat the same three commands again, but without the values:
VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/HostPort"
VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/GuestPort"
VBoxManage setextradata OpenSolaris "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/Protocol"

You can view the configuration for a virtual machine, including port forwards, with this command:
VBoxManage getextradata GuestName enumerate

fenris@thinkbuntu:~/Documents$ VBoxManage getextradata OpenSolaris enumerate
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.4
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

Key: GUI/SaveMountedAtRuntime, Value: yes
Key: GUI/LastCloseAction, Value: powerOff
Key: GUI/LastWindowPostion, Value: 231,5,720,447
Key: GUI/Fullscreen, Value: off
Key: GUI/Seamless, Value: off
Key: GUI/AutoresizeGuest, Value: on
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/HostPort, Value: 2222
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/GuestPort, Value: 22
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/SSH/Protocol, Value: TCP

One restriction you should be aware of is that you can’t use a host port lower than 1024 without running VirtualBox with escalated privilages.

Extra note: You can always access your host from inside your guest using the IP address 10.0.2.2 if you need to do the reverse of this.

OpenOffice.org can use an LDAP User Profile Back End to access user profiles, such as first name, last name, and address, on an LDAP server. As a result, you do not need to manually enter user profiles when you install OpenOffice.org on a network.

To retrieve user profiles for OpenOffice.org from an LDAP repository, you need to provide the LDAP User Profile Back End with the following information:

• Location of the LDAP repository
• Mapping file that identifies the attributes in the LDAP repository that are required to generate an OpenOffice.org user profile

For more detail how to access OO on LDAP Server, refer here
