Ubuntu Servers :: Disabling GUI From Init Scripts?

Jan 29, 2010

I have a headless Ubuntu computer which is primarily use as a server but which has Ubuntu desktop edition installed. I use X forwarding through SSH occasionally to use GUI programs so I am not looking to remove them. However, I would like to disable any GUI elements that would be started automatically when the computer is booted. Is the graphical login screen the only thing that would be run? or is nautilus, gnome-session etc. started as well? How would I go about removing the necessary entries from the init scripts?

Ubuntu :: Disabling Touchpad Tap-Click On Login Screen?

Dec 30, 2010

I am loving my Ubuntu machine, but there's a slight annoyance that I can't seem to disable. Is there anyway to disable the tap-click on the touchpad of a laptop while on the login screen? I do not want to disable the click from the button, but rather when you gently tap it with your finger. The options for it in the Control Center doesn't seem to disable it during the login screen.

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Secure Commands By Disabling Group Access

Dec 20, 2010

I'm running a server using ubuntu 10.04 x64. I want to disable access of groups to "bin" folder so they cannot execute commands.
[info: actually because of a bug in cPanel (the control panel I installed) Perl will give access to all hosting users to execute commands.]
So what I wanna do is to ban some groups on 'bin' folder, for example 'my_group1' and 'my_group2" cannot access bin but 'my_trusted_group' can access it. How is it possible?

OpenSUSE :: Disabling Screen Lock / Enable Display Power Management?

Sep 14, 2009

I am a brand new user coming from the MS environment. My impression of openSUSE is that it is like moving into a new house that is well built but the rooms are full of half-constructed self-assembly furniture and appliances without any specific instructions. Nor is it clear which does what and whether all are needed or not. There is a town hall down the road where fellow homeowners gather to discuss what each has managed to deduce about putting their own furniture together. The town hall has a sort of library where thousands of pieces of paper with instructions are stored in an ad-hoc filing system

My latest problem is that I have created a screensaver via the "Configure Desktop" application and set "Enable display power management" and set some timeouts.However, I seem to be asked for a password to unlock the screen when I come back to my computer. I have spent 2 hours trying to find the place where I can disable screen password locking but to no avail. I am perplexed and frustrated at how such an obvious function is so ****ed hard to configure. This is the impression I am getting of Linux in general - it is novice user-hostile and badly organised.

Ubuntu :: Disabling Password Screen Or Choose Home Folder Encryption?

Nov 24, 2010

Two questions concerning the "insert your password screen" that pops up after some minutes of inactivity: 1) How can I disable it, if I don't want it to pop up anymore? (maybe on startup, but not after inactivity) 2) If it is not disabled: During the installation of Ubuntu, it is asked whether the password chosen will be used only to unlock the screen or also to unencrypt the user's home folder. Supposing the user chose the former option, how can he currently go back and choose to also have encryption? Also: is this encryption good? Is encrypting the home folder enough to protect personal data from eventual laptop theft?

Fedora Installation :: Disabling Authentication ?

Aug 22, 2009

I just installed the new Fedora 11 and have used earlier versions in the past a few times before. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to automatically allow root access to everything once an administrator logs in as admin. I am extremely tired of having to type in my password EVERY single time I want to do something. Especially having to use the terminal for something as simple as copying a file from one directory to another.

Fedora Networking :: F15 Is Disabling NetworkManager

Jun 25, 2011

I'm an inordinate amount of trouble getting F15 to run without NetworkManager. If I boot with the NetworkManager service enabled, my NIC presents as expected at /dev/eth0 (I'm using biosdevname=0). However, when I stop the NetworkManager service, /dev/eth0 disappears from the filesystem.If I boot without NetworkManager enabled, /dev/eth0 is never created. Reviewing dmesg, udev is loading an ethernet driver.

Fedora :: Software Updates Disabling Does Not Work?

Feb 2, 2010

I am not sure if this is a bug or not: I have disabled updates in System/Preferences/Software Update Preferences (set to Never/Nothing/Never) and yet when there are updates I get the icon on the Gnome panel announcing bugs or security updates.The reason I have disabled updates is that I prefer to check for updates manually with Yum, also to prevent lock conflicts between manual Yum and PackageKit.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Postfix, Disabling SSLv2: Not Trivial?

although I've been a lurker for a long time and hope the wealth of experience on LinuxForums can help me solve an issue I've been pulling my hair out for the last week.I am undergoing PCI compliancy scans and have been able to solve all the issues indicated with the exception of one: SSL Server Supports Weak Encryption Vulnerabilityport over port 25. Now before I go over the list of solutions I've tried let me post my Postfix main.cf and master.cf:

Red Hat / Fedora :: CUPS Print Queue Is Disabling?

Apr 16, 2011

I am running CentOS 5.4 with CUPS v1.3.7 and have a Brother printer (MFC-5895CW) that connects wirelessly to a SonicWall device. The SonicWall is hardwired to my PC. I have found that periodically, the printer queue will become disabled and the only way to re-enable it is to issue a cupsenable command.

I believe that queue only gets disabled if the wireless connection drops in the middle of a print job. I've tried dropping the wireless connection and then bringing it back up when no print jobs are active or pending and the queue is fine for the next print job that is sent when the connection is up.

I did a little research and found that my version of CUPS contains support for an ErrorPolicy setting in the printer.conf file that may prevent the print queue from being disabled. I'm hoping that if I change the default value from "stop-printer" to "retry-job" that this will prevent CUPS from disabling the print queue and requirring a cupsenable command to re-enable the queue.

I don't want to play around with scheduling cron jobs to enable the queue.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Disabling Nouveau / Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Nov 26, 2010

First some specs:
Fedora 13 (Goddard) 32-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

The DVI output on my card works just fine to my monitor, which is what I've been using. I installed no drivers; it just worked. However, now I need a duplicate screen to be given via the s-video output, but it doesn't work. Nothing is being given to the tv and nothing is being detected under monitors. From what I understand, this is because I need to install the appropriate Driver.

I downloaded my driver from the nvidia website, but it won't install. it tells me I need to disable nouveau.

Fedora :: Disabling "battery Broken" Message In F15?

May 31, 2011

On old laptops with a low capacity battery, you get the "battery may be broken" message. Before Gnome 3, this message could be disabled by using gconf-editor to change the value for this message under gnome-power-manager. This now seems impossible as gnome-power-manager does not appear in gconf.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Not Booting - Getting Black Screen With Copyright Notice Stays At Screen Forever

Nov 3, 2010

I downloaded Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso and used the Fedora liveusb-creator to put this on a 2GB USB stick. Everything seemed to have gone well and it said complete; however, when I try to boot from the USB stick, I get a black screen with a linux copyright notice at the top and it just stays at that screen forever. I tried this on two computers with the same results.

I'd previously tried with Ubuntu and had a similar issue, it would go to a purple (if I remember correctly) Ubuntu screen and it sat that forever.

Slackware :: Disabling IRQ #16 ?

May 10, 2011

I am using Slackware64 13.37 and every once and awhile I will get a notification that the kernel is disabling IRQ #16. When this happens it feels like I lose 3D acceleration. KDE becomes very sluggish and lags like crazy. Even when I type into text boxes they lag. The only way to fix it temporarily is to reboot, but then it will happen again in a few days.

Fedora :: 13 - Screen Goes Black For A Few Seconds And Then Returns To The Login Screen

Mar 7, 2011

This problem started within the last few minutes. I run a program in my browser that uploads data from my machine (ubuntu) to another machine (Fedora 13), for manipulation and then spits back the data that does not match our standardised information.

When I tried to run it a few minutes ago, it seemed to take a long time to make the connection. I went back and checked the machine, everything was connected and fine. I decided to reboot the machine from within KDE and then try again. Same result. I went to the machine again and tried to login through KDE, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns me to the login screen. I switched over to a virtual terminal and was able to login using the same credentials. I checked the .xsessions-errors file and this is what I am seeing:

Fedora Servers :: Build A F12 Cluster To Run DHCP On Top Of Two Servers Using Pacemaker And Drbd?

Apr 28, 2010

I'm trying to build a Fedora 12 cluster to run DHCP on top of two servers using pacemaker and drbd. The pacemaker runs great but i'm having the hardest time getting DRBD installed.

My kernel version is 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE First i tried to [root@dhcp-primary drbd]#yum install drbd this doesn't give me everything because apparently the kernel module for DRBD must be built from source. so i unpacked drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz and tried :

I'm not very experienced in compiling from source i'd love to make an rpm for this but after scouring the web and trying different install methods, I am still at a loss.

Ubuntu Servers :: No Login Screen On Clients / Get That?

Sep 17, 2010

I have got a 10.4 LTS LTSP server running as i needed it should do.

When i boot-up one of the terminal it sees the DHCP and starts loading from the LTSP all working ok.... when it gets the login screen some of the terminals get the box on the screen to enter the user name and password. the other terminal dose not.

The work around i have got is that i have to click on the blank screen at the bottom left to get the "pick a session" button then i can login and can login as normal.

When all the clients login all is well, And works as if the system was loaded locally its fast and at the mow its reliable. The only thing that is not working as it should is the log in screen.
