How do you configure FC11 to grant full control to the tigerVNC session. I cannot do any software updates, update vsftp through the GUI and add different software.
There are probably more things.
I can do this from the local console but I want to run two systems headless and use my three monitors on a single system that I manage them from.
Fresh install of FC11. Had to install libwvstreams-4.5.1-5.fc11.i586.rpm and wvdial-1.60-8.fc11.i586.rpm
Now get following error -
Is there any way to grant access to non root users to use some commands like reboot and date and some other commands that root user can work with .I tried chmod on their binaries and added them to root group but nothing happened.

The interesting thing is that if I run TigerVNC Viewer I actually get accesses to the TigerVNC server.

I have a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse, but just lost the tiny usb wireless receiver.
I want to use my laptop as the keyboard for the other machine (Ubuntu 10.10) until I replace the keyboard and mouse.
Is it possible to control the console session's keyboard over ssh? I only want keyboard control, I don't want to use something like VNC because the video is too slow.
EDIT: I'd like to be clear that I want to be able to control gui applications running on the console session, so something like unix screen won't
I have a slack 64 13.1 box, that I want to be able to control the monitor of from my laptop. Here's the scenario: I can already control the music remotely via X forwarding banshee to my laptop (banshee shows up on the laptop and music comes out on the desktop). Now I want to be able to open a movie on the desktop's display via the laptop.
Now googling this comes up with solutions for X forwarding, but I don't want it to forward X I want it to display on the desktop.
I'm using the default GNOME file manager. But as a user I don't have any privileges to move files to/from the user folders to the system. I elevated my user to admin privileges, but this has no effect; I can't do any file management in the system area.
I can use the 'root terminal', but it would be much easier to use a GUI file manager--even drag 'n drop.How do I get the file manager to open up? I guessed one way to do this is to log in as 'Root' instead of user. But login won't allow an 'other' login when I try to use 'root' as a username. Is this the wrong approach? Dave
I have a Ubuntu 10.10 server and I would like to have full access to / from my Windows 7 box so I can modify config files and such.
I have already installed Samba and created a local user on the server for myself.
I am at the point where I need to create the share to / and give my user read/write to it.
Additionally if possible I would like for it to be a hidden share for additional security.
I have Suse 11.3 KDE dual boot with Win 7. There is a Desktop Folder on the main screen, with one icon named "My Computer". when I click this icon, Konqueror opens a window with detailed information of the System along with Disk Information (detailed partitions of Windows 7). Once I select any one of these partitions, it opens the one said partition.
One thing I have noticed, if I "Right Click" a folder in this Win 7 partition, there is an option of opening that folder with Dolphin Super user Mode. After using this, I can edit the contained subfolders or files.On the other hand if there is a file (i.e. outside a folder), there is no option of Super user Mode and I cannot edit these files. at times I have to rename them or delete them. But for doing so I have to restart computer and go into Windows (which I don't like)is there any way of having a full control of Suse and Windows (permanently). I read the thread mentioned here: FSTAB - Editing Manually
On RedHat 5 64-bit.I have a group that requires read-only access to the /var directory.I believe someone mentioned SGID and ACL stuff, and I've been researching this solution, but I wanted to check with you all first to ensure there wasn't an easier way to do this. Basically, I just need folks that belong in this certain group to read the contains of any file/directory contained within /var.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using vmware and virtualbox for experimenting with different linux distros and for using windows... When I switch to full screen, the upper portion(about 50px from top) of system becomes unusable because I am not able to click with my mouse anywhere there. So ubuntu's top panel becomes unaccesible and for vmware, once it becomes full screen I am not able to minimize/restore/close it.
In full screen mode, looking at the mouse cursor, it seems to be controlled by guest system when in full screen but as soon as I move it to top of the screen, the host machine takes control of it and then I cannot access any top panels or vmware toolbar. Is there any solution to this problem... Please let me know if more information is needed from my side.I am using opensuse 11.3, KDE4.4.4, vmware 3.1.2/virtualbox 3.2.10. The problem is for both vmware and virtualbox.
I need some help install and configure my vnc session at my Opensuse.
Right now I have installed nx client which works fine and is listening on port 5901.
I also want vnc to use when I want to check exactly what is going on my work's computer (when I go home)
I am reading the tutorial here:
And I would like to ask you the following
1.
Code:
For VNC client connection remember to open ports 5901-> in the firewall. (1 port/Xsession.) nxserver is listening to 5901. How to configure vnc to listen to 5902.
2. The guide also refers that
Code:
Here we "Prestart" vnc sessions for specific users, therefore no login screen is presented. This uses more resources as the VNC Session is running even when no client is connected to the session watching it. But there in lies it's advantage, "watching a session" and "using a session" are not the same thing! This method is very usefull for starting long running programs before going home. Once home you can re-connect to the session and see how things are going.
I'm able to mount ntfs file system as root user but I want the same thing to be allowed to normal user .
I'm not much familier with linux environment so please explain me how to do that for normal user.
I like very much the Guest Session feature of Karmic, it comes very handy when someone needs to use your computer. However, it's only available if I'm already logged in, it won't show this option at login screen. Is there any way to make this possible? Also, I once tried the guest session and configured its appearance to my taste. The next time I entered, though, the default desktop reappeared. I know this happens because no setting is permanently stored for this session, so the only solution I can think of is to change the default configuration it is loaded from.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from 11 to 12 and then installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers from RPMFusion. Initially glxinfo wouldn't work because SELinux was stopping it from using an executable stack. Since the Nvidia drivers are proprietary and a fix may not be provided, I allowed this access to glxinfo with chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/usr/bin/glxinfo'
However it looks like every program using glx-utils also needs these permissions - so far I allowed Xorg, compiz and the Firefox video plugin to execstack. Can anyone suggest a fix for this - preferably one that avoids execstack for all those apps since its a security risk. If not how do I create an SELinux policy to automatically grant apps execstack while they use glxinfo or other nVidia libraries but not at other times.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt work, we have a linux machine which is shared among the members of my team. Each of us runs an XServer on our desktop, which allows us to launch XClients (xterm, debuggers, etc) on the linux machine.We all are using X11 forwarding feature with SSH. I personally run all shell sessions behind screen because I like to be able to detach if needed. We've seen issues when the $DISPLAY variable gets crossed between different users. Let me outline a series of events:
1. user1 logs in and $DISPLAY = localhost:10.0
2. user1 launches a screen
3. user1 loses connection to linux machine (eg. desktop reboot)
4. user2 logs in and $DISPLAY = localhost:10.0
5. user1 logs in and $DISPLAY = localhost:11.0
6. user1 resumes screen from previous login, but in this screen $DISPLAY=localhost:10.0.
7. user1's X apps get displayed on user2's desktop!
I assume someone must of encountered this before. Are there any known solutions? Is there a way to configure screen, so that when a session is resumed it inherits the $DISPLAY?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Debian Squeeze and my 0-9 remote control buttons and power off button work even if I've didn't installed lirc. In a Gnome desktop I could set up the volume too, but now as I'm using Fluxbox I can't start the volume control applet anymore (by the way does somebody knows any handy volume applet for Fluxbox ?)So my question is that if some button of my remote control already work without lirc, then there must by some drivers installed, when I've upgraded to a newer kernel, but I can't figure out what makes my remote control to work. Does anybody knows something about this and if there's something already installed for IR devices in newer kernels how can it be further configured ?
If i type the command "cat /dev/input/event6" in my terminal I can see that all my remote control buttons give a signal, but still I can't figure it out how can I set up all of them.
I feel little silly asking this, I accidently removed from my gnome panel my internet connection, volume control and battery indicator on F11. how can I add this back. It does not show up in the add to panel menu and the applications do not give you back the default feel.

View 6 Replies View RelatedYesterday, after I first installed Slackware 13.1 I had no trouble replacing the default wallpaper with a simple gradient. Very easy. Today, (after re-formatting the drive and re-installing the entire system because I messed around with a script and it wouldn't boot) I can't change it. I spent about an hour messing around with menus and settings trying to figure out how I did it, and eventually, as a last resort, turned to the help file. It tells me to choose Configure Desktop from pop-up menu when right-click on the background.
But Configure Desktop doesn't appear in the pop-up menu. (At least, not anymore it doesn't.) The help file also says to use the Control Center, but I can't find any trace of that either. I haven't the slightest idea why these are missing. Since I re-installed everything onto a freshly re-formatted drive, anything I played around with before shouldn't have any effect on the new installation. The problem is there both when I login as root and user. I really don't want to try re-installing everything again.
The only changes I've made to the system since the re-install is to edit /etc/inittab to replace the 3 in id:3:initdefault: with a 4, so I get a graphical login, and to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to place an & at the end of the dhcpcd request which, according to the instructions I was following should put it in the background to speed up boot-time slightly. I haven't (knowingly) played around with anything that should affect KDE, except changing settings from within the KDE menus. I know it's probably going to be something very simple, and possibly obvious in retrospect, but I'm new to Linux and have no idea what I'm doing here.
how to configure serial port RS-232 to use flow control?

How do I move the Window control buttons when the window is in full screen mode? I.e.: I know how to go into gconf-editor:
Code:
gconf-editor --> apps --> metacity --> general --> button layout = ":minimize,maximize,close"

What I want is my window controls to be on the right side of the window when the window is in full screen mode.
Also I've had an issue with the Unity dockbar glitching out. I can still click on the buttons (i.e. the logout button) but it displays like a nintendo game inserted crooked. Is there a way to 'restart' unity without log out/ log in?
