Debian :: Set Teh Terminal Time Out In Flinderation?
Sep 25, 2010
There used to be a time out period, 15 minutes I think, and now when I am chrooting 6 or 7 systems I need to give a password for every one of them. This gets old. I am sure there is a way to do this. Sudo visudo does not do it. It will Work until I reboot. When I run it again, the setting is the sames as I set it the last session. I need to redo it, exit and then put it back to where I want it again. I figure I am doing it in the wrong place but can't figure it out and it is really getting on my thungas.
Since the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze on my Notebook Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 with Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG I have wireless connection problems.The connection breaks time to time and sometimes cannot connect automaticaly after restart. BTW I didn't change anything on the wireless or network configurations on the notebook and on the wiereless router.
I have a Insprion 14R (N4010) and when I hibernate it will usually restore without a problem, but maybe 15% of the time it will reboot while loading. I would like to figure why, since I'd rather not lose anything... My swap space is 5.9GB, I have 4GB RAM (video uses 1gb, so I have 3gb usable)
I mainly use debian jessie , recently i have installed daragora as my second os to get a feel of gnu/linux . the problem is that dragora uses bash , and it's commands are different from debian jessie terminal is there a way that i can use the same commands here in dragora?
gnome-terminal from the Debian squeeze does not use the 'default_size_columns' and 'default_size_rows' from the /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ folder of gconf.
I am using red hat .I want that when ever the user login in GUI interface the terminal windows automatically open and then the user want to logout it 1st close the terminal and then login. There is a file in #ls -a i.e .bashrc and .bash_logout
I was wondering if there is a command to show a real-time creation of files. I basically executed a command that will created thousands of files and takes a long time. I want to check if it is still creating additional files or if ti got frozen.
How can we write a file and display in terminal at the same time. Like for example, when I do.. php -f file.php > testfile That should save right.. but I want to display it in terminal otherwise.
I'm looking for some information about termcap and terminfo... I've got some, but the problem is that some things confuse me... I thought every terminal and terminal emulator should be there, but many of the terminal emulators I use are not there.. Is this different between distributions?
I find xcompmgr more than adequate for making a desktop look pretty modern, and I don't like the more extravagentCompiz gimmicks - but there is one thing that irritates when using xcompmgr which someone here might have worked round.
Rounded window borders don't draw and redraw properly when using the Terminal (gnome-terminal and the LXDE and Xfce ones) or system monitor and moving them from their default place. You get this little white botch at the corners. I'm not massively technical and I'm ambivalent about how much more I want to learn as I have plenty of creative outlets already, but I would like to solve this. Somehow xcompmgr is treating these programs as a different class? It's capable of drawing the window borders properly as it is just these two programs that get botched. Possibly this doesn't get noticed as maybe people usually use xcompmgr with openbox and LXDE and their square window borders. I did do a search but there was nothing matching what I saw.
It is possible to not only have the progress of the shredding, but the time elapsed/remained/whatever as well? It would be great to be able to see the time elapsed/time remaining along with the percentage complete.
I want to have a terminal open and have something like a "repeating cat" command running in it for a certain text file (in particular /var/log/system.log). So my terminal will scan or cat the text file every so often or whenever the text file system.log gets written to by the system, it will display whatever it wrote to the file in my terminal that is open.
I recently installed Fedora - it seems like a nice interface and I want to experience the system before deciding whether I want to keep using it over my ever reliable Crunchbang, which gives me absolutely no grief whatsoever. However, it is nice to use an attractive interface now and again.So, here's my problem - I opted to install the ATI drivers when alerted to the restricted ones by the pop-up. I took note of how to disable them again if there were problems with the display after reboot. There was a problem with the display (black screen) and I can't get the command entered at boot time because the only command line environment I have an option for is GRUB. Grib does not recognize any of the 'aticonfig --initial -f' command that ATI instructed me to use to get things back to normal. How do I do this? I prsume others have been there and will know how to guide me. - getting the graphical interface to display better graphics. I want the eye candy that desktop effects give. I am hoping Fedora won't let me down here because I could simply continue to use Ubuntu which only gives one problem with the window resize delay.
if my network downs my system process get slow down ... only in user mode but in root it is working fine ..the process slow especially if i try to open a terminal or run any gui application its taking much time comparing to normal time where network is up ..
I upgraded to 11.04, but the updgrade crashed, and now it has some errors with Unity crashing every time I open a terminal. Is there any way to re-install without having to reconfigure all my programs? I am running a dual-boot.
I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I'm getting tired of it. Every time I update to the latest version, even if I wait awhile, something always breaks. I want an OS that I can update without having to worry about something breaking and I hear that Debian is great for that. I'll be installing it in a few hours when I get back from Iron Man 2. I just created this thread because I know I'm going to have questions. Don't worry, I'll try to solve any problems I come across myself before asking here. I'll be installing Debian Stable because I figure that'll be good enough for me.
I guess this might sound strange, but, I want to be asked all the time for either my user password or root password. I have searched high and low and all I can find is people wanting to disable asking for password. My guess is a majority of those users are ex-Windows users. I prefer to be asked as I feel it an added security tool. how to enable the system to ask for the user/root password everytime?
I have only one OS ( Debian 'Squeeze' 6.0.1 ) installed on this system. I observe a time lag which gradually grows. I was asked to install ntpd to prevent this from happening in the future and I did install it which seemed to work for a few days but now I observe the lag again. Just to note, I notice it only when I hibernate my system.
when im trying login in my web ftp with correct pass and username its automaticly refresh the page. I have instaled easy-wi for i can make servers, but ftp dont works. Second problem is cronjobs. i dont know how to enabkle for this panel.
When I try to open two times Iceweasel I get this:Iceweasel is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Iceweasel process, or restart your system.I am very suprprised, because in Windows xp I can open mozilla firefox 2,3 or more times.
Imagine i want to power off my "Lenny" at exactly 16:00 everiday. no mather what I suppose i showld write a script with the shutdown command and add it to the /etc/init.d . but i will listen to your tips first.
I just installed Debian6-squeezie and upgraded to wheeny, that went fine for itself But now i discover that Debian INSIST in changing my BIOSCLOCKI realy dont like that. Its MY computer and I dicide MY SELF if i 'follow' winter versus summer time commercial brain-f#ck.
I'm not sure what the problem is but any browser i have crashes after some time of use, I've tolerated it for some time but its just too much of crashing, I have installed opera and chrome and both of them crash too..
I have debian jessie 8.8.1 Oscam and a phoenix card reader running on a tower pc. Everything works on reboot but when i leave it running then when i wake up in the morning the card reader has stopped working and does not show up in lsusb. The only way to get it working again is to reboot then it stops after x amount of time and the same problem.
The in build cipher algorithms that are in the kernel are not critically secured, the best, I think, supports 384 bit encryption.
So I was looking forward towards stuff like DSA or very preferably OTP cipher with like... 8192 bit encryption using DM, I know it sounds insane, but so is the data. I want it to be uncrackable for the fastest supercomputer combined till 2070.
