CUPS

SuSE 10.1

To enable browsing via the network you have to setup a password for user root: See on you local [file:///usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-manual_en/manual/sec.p.special.html SuSE Documentation]:

lppasswd -g sys -a CUPS-admin-name

Now you should configure your cups server via yast allowing some network clients to admin the printers.

LVM

Ubuntu Feisty

Found in Ubuntu Forums.

Search for the latest fedora system-config-lvm, e.g. via rpmfind.net and download it

 wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/system-config-lvm-1.1.1-1.0.fc7.noarch.rpm

Install alien:

apt-get install alien

And convert the rpm into a debian package and install it.

alien -d system-config-lvm-1.1.1-1.0.fc7.noarch.rpm
dpkg -i system-config-lvm_1.1.1-2_all.deb

Ubuntu works with python2.5, so make a symlink as follows

 ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5  /usr/bin/python2

Either start directly from a terminal or create a starter in menu->administration with

gksudo system-config-lvm

Be aware that all changes to lvm will take effekt emediately - so be careful what you do!
