phpmyadmin in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid

Installation of phpmyadmin usually would do one command:

sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin


But with last version in Itrepid I had some problems. In /etc/phpmyadmin/apache2.conf I've added this lines to section :


AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


because I use phpmyadmin on my laptop, there is no need for other security restriction. Also I commented out authentification lines:

# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
# AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup


restart apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart

Then should be phpmyadmin available on:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

where you can login with mysql root password

How to disable pc speaker in ubuntu

How to get rid of annoying pc speaker sound.


After entering this command:


$ lsmod | grep spkr


You should be able to see somemthing like this:

pcspkr 10624 0


So, open in your favourite text editor as super-user this file

$ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist


And add new line

blacklist pcspkr


Note: if you didn't find pcskpr in lsmod, try to look for
snd_pcsp. It could be also causing troubles.
