Fedora :: Access Machine In Command Line Mode
Apr 16, 2011
my fedora 14 did an automatic update tonight and on reboot it hangs displaying the "f" before the login in menu. The "f" is how I now feel.I do "fn+f2" as it is booting and it displays the sequence of loading items which report all is "ok" until it gets to "jexec services" and then it hangs.I do not know how to access the machine in command line mode and I am not sure what to do from here. I beleive the "jexec service" is a Sun Java item but I am not sure.

The GUI for network configuration of Fedora is marvellous such that the configuration is almost fool-proof. But how can I make the connection by hand in the command line mode? It goes okay except the very last step. When I disconnect the eth0 interface from the right-hand side of the desktop GUI, I tested how to bring it back by command line but I failed. When disconnected, the ifconfig still shows the eth0 interface, with just the ip address portion changed.
I tried "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.xx" to give it an ip address but the connection is still down even if the ifconfig shows an ip address for the eth0 interface. Then I tried "/etc/init.d/network restart" and "ifup eth0" and also "route add defaut gw 192.168.1.1" but none of these could accomplish the same work as a single click on the GUI to connect. I am very curious about how to do it in the terminal.

with that said i burned fedora 8, 10, and 11 checked the sha1 verified everything was fine i had originally installed fedora 8 on an old pc i had from windows XP without any problems messed with it some, upgraded to 10 again no problems. tired to update 11 got a message about ext3 not found ext4 not found, re installed 10 the loader loads up now i have a blank screen with a cursor it the left hand corner
again i had 10 installed fine prior to all this can any one point me in the right direction to solve this issue or am i way over my head trying to figure this stuff out. i have spent 3 days searching these forums.
i'm just not quite sure what i need to do. oh, i tried to install 8 again and it wouldn't take either. i think the 10 problem has something to do with the graphic driver it's a geforce 7400 nvidia and something to do with the grub, but like i said i get a blinking cursor and not quite sure how to access the grub or command line.

EDIT: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop worked, not sure why it did not before. Sorry for the whining!
I need to boot Ubuntu into a non-x, command line mode. So I can install an nvidia driver for my new GeForce GTX 260 (I had a GeForce 7900 running on my Ubuntu system using the synaptic open source 185 driver for nvidia, but there is no driver except the one I downloaded just now from nvidia's site for the GTX 260 card). That requires there be no X session running, not even in a separate domain so to speak. There is no rescue mode in Grub2. Recover mode in Grub still boots an X session (Gnome). Alt+F1 appears to be a clean command line terminal but even that does not work because the nvidia driver installer script sees through that ruse and knows there is an active Gnome session. I tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and that did not work. I tried ctr+alt+backspace and that did nothing.
What can I do? I tell you some days linux is just too frustrating, about to just toss the baby with the bath water and go back to Winblows. Bought a new graphics card today, and here I am stuck not being able to even install the driver from a command line prompt, geesh.

I installed Phatch today hoping to use it to reduce the file size of some picturesI took for work.I originally took the pics with 12 MP camera and now want to email them to a few peopleas smaller files.I found Phatch, but the docs under man phatch suck...Would anyone mind sharing an example of how to make the above changes to adirectory of pics. My guess is it starts: phatch -vkc --desktop [action] [path]

Is it possible to instruct Ubuntu to start up (GUI) Graphical User Interface mode from (CLI) Command Line Interface mode? In the old days, you can type "win" in DOS to get into Windows - something along that line. Is it possible for Ubuntu in this case?
Yes, you can reboot to switch between the modes, but shouldn't there be a command for this?

I just loaded up the Ubuntu 10.04 onto a newly scratch built computer. It went to the desktop after loading up and asking for my password. I then navigated to SYS>ADMIN>DRIVERS and preceded with download of recommended drivers for Nvadia G430 on-board display adapter. Restarted the computer to activate the new drivers and it's stuck in Command Line Mode. I tried Ctrl/Alt/F7 to escape, along with a bunch of other things but nothing will kick this puppy into the desktop.

I have a large amount of log files that I need to remove sensitive data from. The sensitive data is provided to me in a text file and is prone to change. I had hoped to do the equivalent of this:
[Code]....
The commented out egrep works fine, the sed doesn't. Am I right to use sed for this? Or is there a more apt route to take?

I have both desktop and notebook with Ubuntu 10.10.In the desktop, net domain correctly displays domain and server name, but in the notebook both appear as blank. Maybe that's the reason why I can't see the shares in the desktop from the notebook.How do I set the domain and machine name from the terminal command line?

Just in case someone can reply a silly question, I've quite forgot the vi/vim command to bring the cursor to the 1st char in the current line. I do remember that for bringing it to EOL is '$'.

How do I install Broadcom Wi-Fi on Arch Linux in command line mode on an Acer eMachines EM350?
I assume that Broadcom STA should be the driver used and my USB key the way to install it with the help of another PC, assuming that I can't use a RJ45 ethernet connection on LAN.

I need to execute evince from command line or from a shell script and open it directly in full screen, or start some program for presentation.
I mean:
$ evince (this opens evince)
$ evince /dir1/dir2/file.toview (this opens evince and the file.toview but not in full screen)
$ evince /dir1/dir2/file.toview 'in mode presentation'

I cannot connect to the internet on the command line. Things like firefox or chrome browser work fine. But on the command line programs like 'links' fail to work. This is on a machine behind a proxy, I have the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables set properly.

As a strategy for learning linux I have decided to adopt using a lean windows based approach. I want to focus on command line machine system, network basics, and file management knowledge. In other words find out how desktop manager does it's business, so I know how to master my machine, but by and large once I have made my choices, leave it alone to do just that.
I figure I should know how applications are internally configured etc., but I also figure an apps GUI and config choices should take care of installations, and program usage as in M$ windows. Surely taking care of an applications dependencies are the responsibility of the developer, are they not?
I am working my way through "Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition (Version 1.0.0)" right now for an overall viewpoint. Can anyone suggest a specific source for a point by point explanation of the command basis of a generalised "desktop management" application (KDE,LXDE)? Better yet would be if it had some parallel comparison of the varied approaches taken by different distributions of linux.
A secondary question, is that allowed? Up to a certain point in Ms windows, a thorough knowledge of DOS 6.xx would theoreticaly enable one to more or less duplicate the actions of the windows overlay. Is there a basic distribution (or subset in all of them maybe?) of linux that would be consistent with that paradigm? What would be analogous to DOS batch files, or GM-Basic? Oh! that's 3.I am certainly appreciating the depth of this forum, and the breadth of knowledge among you forumite's. Reading it is time well spent.

I have Red Hat 5.4, and I'm trying to log in using tty1 by pressing Ctrl-Shift-F1. I get to the text login screen, my banner displays, but when I try to log in as root, the banner just displays again and it asks me to log in.
It does not say that my password is incorrect, just asks me log in as if the previous exchange never happened. I have added tty1 to /etc/securetty, and all the other tty's and vc/1, vc/2, etc...in an attempt to get something to work. I recently started using PAM for password authentication, and the pam_securetty.so line is set correctly in /etc/pam.d/login. Any idea why I can't log in? Did I miss something I have to add?

just learning qemu. Been able to figure out everything fine, except one thing: what do I need to add to my qemu command-line to give my VM access to the Internet?
I read online docs, but to be honest, the VLAN/TAP stuff they describe doesn't make much sense to me.

Is there any way to install a Ubuntu server and access the server remotely via a Ubuntu desktop environment instead of a SSH command line?
I will be installing a Ubuntu server in an office where the office manager will need to be able to do simple things like add/remove users, access filesystems, etc. She can handle these tasks in Ubuntu desktop/GUI, but it is impractical for her to have to learn how to use the CLI terminal to do this stuff.
Will I have to install desktop Ubuntu on the server to do this, or can I install Ubuntu server version and setup another computer Ubuntu desktop to remotely login graphically?

In Fedora 12 when ever I log into my desktop Firefox and Evolution are in off line mode when I run them.
I do not use NetworkManager and this is turn off (both service and icon) as this machine has mutable nailed up connections. I am guessing this is what it is as I have laptop with F12 on that has NM turned on and I am not seeing this behaviour.
How to change this behaviour? I is a tad annoying F11 didn't do this.
