/etc/filesystems
On RedHat, CentOS, and probably other RPM-based distributions, the
/etc/filesystems
file lists the filesystems that are known to the
system, i.e. those filesystems that can be mounted without specifying
the filesystem type. The contents of that file in a minimal CentOS
installation are:
[root@c6min ~]# cat /etc/filesystems
ext4
ext3
ext2
nodev proc
nodev devpts
iso9660
vfat
hfs
hfsplus
How to get Google search suggestions in Firefox on Linux Mint
The Google search feature is not offered as an option in the version of Firefox that comes installed in Linux Mint. You can add it with the Manage Search Engines feature, but when you do, you will notice that there are no search suggestions when you start typing a search term.
To add Google search suggestions, you need to edit the file
google.xml
, located in the searchplugins
directory, inside your
Firefox user profile. In my case, the full path for this file is:
/home/marios/.mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/searchplugins/google.xml
Yours should be similar, and the command locate google.xml
can help
you find the path.
Edit that file, and add the following line:
<Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q={searchTerms}"/>
...somewhere before the closing </SearchPlugin>
tag. Restart your
Firefox, and suggestions should now work.

Bind Samba server to specific IP
By default, a Samba server will listen for connections on all the interfaces of the host. This can be verified by:
# netstat -tulpn | egrep "samba|smbd|nmbd|winbind"
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30352/smbd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30352/smbd
tcp 0 0 :::139 :::* LISTEN 30352/smbd
tcp 0 0 :::445 :::* LISTEN 30352/smbd
To bind the server to a specific IP or interface, add the following
lines to the [global]
section of Samba's configuration:
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = lo eth0
That will make the server listen to connections only to lo
and eth0
.
The value of the interfaces
parameter, can also be an IP, like:
interfaces = 10.1.2.3
For further information, see the man
page for smb.conf
.

article in the Samba Wiki explains a bit more on why it might be
necessary to have the server listening on the
lo
interface.
