Is it possible to bypass kdewallet manager for certain applications while leaving it in place for others? Specifically, I do not want to be prompted to open the wallet when I login and initially access the wireless network, but still require opening of the wallet to check email.
View 6 RepliesIf I am correct there is an official list(probably by Fedora itself) of packages/software included in each Fedora version, but I can't find it. I also have a couple of queries below.
1. There are always new applications, packages, games etc. being released for Fedora by open source developers and companies. Is there a good website where I can get a list of all these new packages etc, if possible an official one? I visit some sites such as Linux.com, but based on your own experience, I think you can guide me better.
2. In order to know which packages are installed on the Fedora machine one can type the following command, is that right?
Code:
rpm -qa
And this one gives the exact number of installed packages.
Code:
rpm -qa | wc -l
I like using kopete, but I want to use it in GNOME. When doing so, I have 2 problems:
1) When I login to my computer, kopete starts up, and kde wallet asks fro my password for the wallet, in order for kopete to login to my accounts. This is very annoying. I find it inefficient to have to enter my password twice when turning on my computer.
2) Everytime a buddy signs on/off, a notification (or sometimes numerous notifications) run down the center of my screen and cover all my active windows.I want to disable knotify and kdewallet to alleviate these problems.
In many refferals to Gnome there is the item:

I want to add a specific app, jConsole, to "Known Applications"
I'm using win XP and windows 7, meanwhile, I want to install ubuntu on my desktop (not very recent: 256MB RAM, 2.8Ghz), I'm thinking about installing ubuntu 9.10, but I use a lot of specific application:
-Matlab (I want to know wich will be a good replacement as I need my files to be compatible with matlab: octave or scilab)
-Visual studio (I think netbeans is good but wondering if there is any better application)
-Proteus ISIS (I don't know any linux application to do the same work)
-Modelsim (simulation for VHDL) and the same, I don't know any good replacement
-Xilinx (for validation and compilation of VHDL file and also creating test bech files)
-step 7 for Siemens automates programming (I don't know if there is any linux program related to this)
(I already use open office and foxit for general use in windows so I'm going to install them on ubuntu too).
I am running a windows game on Ubuntu through Wine, but it is running slowly. My computer is only a year and a half old, and it has 4 GB's of RAM. Is Wine not receiving enough of the memory? If so, can I direct a larger amount of my ram to the program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workstation dedicated to monitoring. The goal is to have multiple web sessions and other applications running across dual screens on multiple virtual desktops. I have a nice Perl/TK/wmctrl script that will automatically rotate the desktops. All is working great.
The problem is, I need a solution to automatically start the applications on the correct desktop, with the correct window size, in the correct location on the desktop. That way we can start the monitor boxes in the morning and have everything start in the correct place. It is a really cool effect to have wall mounted monitors with cube rotation showing off multiple graphs and more.
Do any of you pros know how to start an application with a specific window size and define where on the desktop it is placed? The box is running OpenSUSE 11.4 KDE. Is that kind of control possible?
Just like the title says, it always asks me to go to the direct path.
ie:
iwconfig doesn't work. I have to type /usr/sbin/iwconfig
I have a lot of application scheduled to load at startup (GoldenDict, Tomboy Notes, Evolution Mail, Liferea, etc.) and I'd like some of them to appear on the workspaces different from the default. I have Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome and Compiz effects. Is there a way to do this without a lot of mess?

View 1 Replies View Relatedis there a way to make a password key-ring for a list of specifications, specifically; all the applications relating to preferences. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, I'm the only user, I disabled all login password requirements because they were annoying me and I'm cool with anybody using any of my applications as long as they aren't capable of changing my system in any way. Some of the applications I would like to be on the list include the terminal, the network connections preferences, the keyboard preferences. I wan't to be prompted for a password before opening these programs
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've read some of the older threads on the subject, and when I OK'd kdewallet always, I used the same password for it that I always use. But kdewallet will not allow me to get into setting up a wireless WPA setup or anything else.
I've looked for it i.e., whereis kdewallet or whereis kdewalletmanager to no avail both as su and user. How to get back to the original setup screen for kdewallet so I can turn it off?
I have successfully Kubuntu 10.04 running with Belking wireless USB adapter. There is only one issue.I use WPA2 key to access my home wifi and after being connected I was asked if kdewallet should remember the password. I clicked yes.Now evertime my computer starts after booting to Kubuntu I have to enter my kdewallet password in order Network Manager can retrieve password from kdewallet.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am VERY new to linux and have managed to install Fedora 14, xmame.SDL and Wah!Cade and finally got it all working great! My final step in my setup is (since the only use for this machine is wahcade) to be able to switch the computer on and boot straight into wahcade...and eventually hide all traces of Fedora during boot. I have managed to get the login to Autologin by adding some lines at the end of /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
Code:
TimedLoginEnable=True
TimedLogin=username
TimedLoginDelay=0
However, I still get the login box but with "Autologin" on it which I have to click ok for or wait about 15 seconds and it goes away. (I was under the impression the timedlogindelay as 0 would be instant) Then immediately after that it still asks for a keyring password.
How can I just get rid of the whole login process (like a single user thing) and just have the thing boot straight to the desktop? Also, once I achieve that, how can I make it open wahcade? And can I remove all the icons from the desktop somehow?
Everything I have come across on tinternet seems to assume I know linux inside out so answering in dummy step by step terms is more than welcome. I have a programming background but I am unfamiliar with linux programs, plugins, terminal, terms etc.
When trying to install fedora, I frequently run into the problem where it locks up on boot.
The line that I am able to read right before it locks up is: "No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!"
I was wondering if anyone has any similar problems or how I could fix this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to search a bunch of files in a specific folder for a specific number and add all the numbers together to a total sum. I use Rsync everyday, everytime I run rsync i get a logfile (rsync output) witch contains the textstring "Total bytes sent: xxxxxx".
The "xxxxx" can vary in lenght. I need to extract the "xxxxxx" from each file and add the numbers together to a total size over a week or a month. Is this possible? And I wish to only use bash. One way of doing stuff at a time my friends .
my system I want user1 and only user1 to be able to mount and unmount a specific partition, this partition contains backups and is usually mounted read only, needs to be temporarily mounted read/write by user1 while doing the backup.user1 is an unprivileged user. I've read that the user option will let any user mount the file-system (and only that user can then subsequently unmount it) and that the users option allows any user to mount or unmount the file-system.I also found this in mount's man pageQuote:The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the group of the special file.So it looks like I'd need a login script for that user to make the user owner of the device file (/dev/voiceserv/backup in this case)

I'm trying to configure our mail server to block email from a specific sender reaching a specific recipient. In other words, if one of our employees is getting harassed by a 'stalker', how would one go about blocking, at the MTA (Sendmail) level, a specific sender email address from reaching a particular users inbox? We do not want to capture the email - simply block it before it consumes server resources.The Sendmail server (MTA) is a front end to our Exchange server so no user accounts exist on the Linux server. We simply use it as a SPAM and Virus scanner then forward clean email to the Exchange server.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed Suse 11.3 on /dev/sdc which is a hard drive connected to a usb port. Windows 7 lives on /dev/sdb in the box. Another drive sda is in the box also. I configured bios to boot the usb drive first. Grub is installed on /dev/sdc mbr. My scheme is to allow me to boot directly to Windows if the usb drive is not powered up, and directly to Suse if it is powered up. That all works. However, I would like to bypass the grub menu and boot right into Suse, like what happens with Windows, not having to select an entry from that pesky grub menu.
What is the best way to configure the system so that this can work? I've done a lot of searching but there are too many grub horror stories in the haystack to find this particular needle. Also, I've had my share of problems recently after losing control of the boot process somehow and not being able to boot into Suse at all. All of the postings I found on the net about recovering from that turned out to be phoney in some way and I had to reinstall to bet better. I'd like not to repeat that scenario.
I upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.4 and when I boot it stops for 24 seconds at the boot menu then loads. This is the same menu you get on boot when you press Esc. How do I get Ubuntu to boot normal?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a persistent installation of 10.10 on a USB thumb drive installed with the Universal USB Installer. When I boot, it always brings up the welcome screen, with the languages on the left side, the big "Try Ubuntu" button in the center, and an "Install Ubuntu" button on the right. I just want to run ubuntu from the USB stick. When I click on "Try Ubuntu" the system hangs for 2-3 minutes, requires a force-quit and then brings up the desktop.
If, at the beginning of the boot process, I interrupt it bringing up the initial menu, I can select "English" then "Run Ubuntu from this USB", and it boots very quickly directly to the desktop. Before this install I was running 9.04 and later 10.04 from the same USB stick and had no issue with it booting directly to the desktop. Ideally I'd like to not need to intervene and just have load to the desktop. Do I need to make some changes to grub?
I realise that passwords are a good thing but I'm getting fed up having to enter a password just to get my wireless network to work every time I switch on Ubuntu or when I log out and back in again.
Seeing as there is nobody in the house that I want to keep away from the computer, is there a way to automatically sign-in to my wireless network without having that annoying key-chain popping up every time?
I currently use 4 keyboard maps in my session (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and French). I'd like to use one more : Sweddish, but it seems that I can't have more than 4. Does anybody knows a way to bypass this limit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 off a desktop. I was using it for quite a while up until last night when out of nowhere while surfin', and browsing, the screen just turned white, I've tried restarting by powering off manually, as I couldn't get it to any other way. After the computer restarts, it might flash black for a sec a couple of times, then back to being white again, the BIOS screen doesn't even show up. It sounds like in the background the computer might still be loading up. My monitor is a 21"LCD, if that means anything?
