Installing Nagios on Ubuntu 9.04

Nagios is a good open-source tool for monitoring network components and services. Can be configured to send alerts by e-mail.

Since the new version (3) is geseste in repositories, installation is much easier now, using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install nagios3

Checking the installation:

nagios3 sudo-v nagios.cfg

Should look like this test:

Nagios 3.0.6

XMMS is a simple player, not a music organizer. Closely resembles Winamp. More details about XMMS can be found on official site.

First must be downloaded packages we need for the compilation of XMMS. After executing the following command, the system will be ready for installation of XMMS. To execute commands that begin with "sudo" need to know your root password.

# sudo apt-get install autotools-dev automake1.9 libtool gettext libasound2-dev libaudiofile-dev \libgl1-mesa-dev libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev libesd0-dev libice-dev libmikmod2-dev libogg-dev \ libsm-dev libvorbis-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxml-dev libssl-dev build-essential make
