[SOLVED] E: Unable to locate package oracle-java7-installer [Ubuntu 13]

Unable to locate package oracle-java7-installer [Ubuntu 13]

Was installing Java today, this is an easy install thanks to “ppa:webupd8team/java“, but when I tried it was not working, but has worked for me all this while.
Little goggling around found me a solution. Here is full conversation if you wanted to have a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2048793
Installing JAVA on Ubuntu is simple. Do the below to add the repository and run the below command ‘sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer’ to install.

Error.

 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

 E: Unable to locate package oracle-java7-installer

Solution.

Elevating to root.
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ sudo su
Adding to deb.
 root@ubuntu:~# echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
Adding to deb-src
 root@ubuntu:~# echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
Making sure we have the key as well.
 root@ubuntu:~# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
Lets update our apt-get repository.
 root@ubuntu:~# apt-get update
Now Install Oracle Java
 root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
 <..loads of verbose...>

 root@ubuntu:~# exit
Checking Version
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ 
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$ java -version
 java version "1.7.0_60"
 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19)
 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode)
 ahmed@ubuntu:~$
All done. !!!

    3. echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
    4. apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886

Zabbix History Table Clean Up

Zabbix history table gets really big, and if you are in a situation where you want to clean it up. Then we can do so, using the below steps. Stop zabbix server. Take table backup - just in case. Create a temporary table. Update the temporary table with data required, upto a specific date using epoch . Move old table to a different table name. Move updated (new temporary) table to original table which needs to be cleaned-up. Drop the old table. (Optional) Restart Zabbix Since this is not offical procedure, but it has worked for me so use it at your own risk. Here is another post which will help is reducing the size of history tables - http://zabbixzone.com/zabbix/history-and-trends/ Zabbix Version : Zabbix v2.4 Make sure MySql 5.1 is set with InnoDB as innodb_file_per_table=ON Step 1 Stop the Zabbix server sudo service zabbix-server stop Script. echo "------------------------------------------" echo " 1.

Access Filter in SSSD `ldap_access_filter` [SSSD Access denied / Permission denied ]

Access Filter Setup with SSSD ldap_access_filter (string) If using access_provider = ldap , this option is mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter criteria that must be met for the user to be granted access on this host. If access_provider = ldap and this option is not set, it will result in all users being denied access. Use access_provider = allow to change this default behaviour. Example: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowed_user_groups,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Prerequisites yum install sssd Single LDAP Group Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=Group Name,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Multiple LDAP Groups Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = (|(memberOf=cn=System Adminstrators,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)(memberOf=cn=Database Users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) ldap_access_filter accepts standa

Installing Zabbix Version 2.4 Offline (Zabbix Server without Internet).

There might be situations where you have a remote/zabbix server which does not have internet connectivity, due to security or other reasons. So we create a custom repo on the remote/zabbix server so that we can install zabbix using rpms Here is how we are planning to do this. Download all the dependency rpms on a machine which has internet connection, using yum-downloadonly or repotrack . Transfer all the rpms to the remote server. Create a repo on the remote server. Update yum configuration. Install. NOTE: This method can be used to install any application, but here we have used zabbix as we had this requirement for a zabbix server. Download dependent rpms . On a machine which has internet connection install the package below. And download all the rpms . Make sure the system are similar (not required to be identical - At-least the OS should be of same version) mkdir /zabbix_rpms yum install yum-downloadonly Downloading all the rpms to location /zabbix_rpms/ ,
