Does Fedora 11 gnome have that gksu graphical authentication program which allows a normal user to open tools such as that NTFS Configuration Tool to enable full ntfs write support ? I did try to find it with both yum in a terminal, and the package manager, but is not found.
View 11 RepliesI'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting my application"
[code]...

Tried googling and checking threads at LQ didnt find a solution or another instance running slackware64 current.. everything built fine, tried and everythings executable...I also have Alien's multilib installed, with only firefox and flashplugin as 32bit, everything else 64bit. I can't open any apps as root by normal user
how come when I tried to install k3b on Fedora 13 32 bit it wont authenticate properly?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server which runs a game server. On that dedi, I had Debian installed, and I wanted to have graphical access to it so I installed Gnome and nxserver. I want the game server to run automatically when the server boots up and have it appear in a console window when I connect to nxserver. So I added it in the Startup list by going in System > Administration > Session.
My problem is that the program doesn't start when the system boots up, but only when I connect to nxserver. So I assume it is something like gnome not starting up or opening a session until I open one remotely or something such.
But is there anyway to have that game server start in a console window when the system starts up? I tried using init.d but the problem is that it doesn't open any window, and I need to interact with the server through the console. What can I do?
I have a really old Dell computer (Dell PowerEdge 1300) that I am wanting to use as a small server (samba file server and apt-cacher-ng). I installed Ubuntu server and then did "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop" which was a bad idea because it killed the performance.So here is my question.Ive read you can split the X client and server. Would that let me run a graphical program (like Synaptic) over X without installing any sort of GUI on the Dell?If that is the case, how would I go about doing so?If I would still have to install a GUI on the Dell, what are other options since the on-board display adapter seems to struggle with graphics?

For example, on Windows the webcam software allows me to edit the saturation, contrast, brightness, etc the levels of it while I'm giving off a live feed.So while I'm on webcam 0 can basically change the saturation level while I'm on skype and go from live in color to live in black and white?

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
I would like to configure Squid and DansGuardian that way, that it's a Proxy with Authentication via Website. That means: A new Notebook gets about DHCP the Network-Information like IP-Adress etc.. When he now tries to open a Internet connection it should check if he's authenticated and if not he should get (if this try is from a browser) a login screen in http. It should also not be possible to have internetconnection without being logged in. The clients are Windoze, Mac and Linux. My question now. What programms/deamons are there for doing this authentication. Would you decide for another Programm instead of Squid?

I'd like to be able to run gksu (i.e. the default windowed authentication) without a password. I tried to find this on the wiki and here on the forums but wasn't able to find anything. I've allowed 'sudo' to run without a password:
Code:
<username> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
for my username but this has no effect on 'gksu'. As I am the only user on my machine and I have to enter a password on login
I can enter my password just fine to log into the system, and using sudo from a terminal also works, but "gksu" does not. It tells me my password is incorrect. That means Synaptic doesn't work unless I "sudo synaptic" from the terminal. Anyone else happen to encounter this yet, or is it just me? I started with a clean install of Kubuntu 10.10, which I later installed ubuntu-desktop over and then removed. Would that possibly make a difference here?

There are times that I would like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line in order to do that. I learned of a nice app in the Fedora repos called beesu and I will show you how to set up a menu entry to be able to use this nice app.
From man beesu:
Code:
See man beesu for more information.
Beesu can be installed in Fedora with the following command:
Code:
IMPORTANT: Beesu must be installed in order to successfully complete this tutorial.
You can use beesu from the command line with the following example:
Code:
This will open gedit as root user after the correct root password has been entered into the password prompt. This is great. However, I'd like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line or alt+f2 run box. So, I wrote a small bash script that uses zenity to prompt the user for an app to open as well as the root password.
Copy the following code into a new text file and name it mybeesu.sh.
Code:
You need to change the /path/to bit in step 4 "Command" to reflect the path to which you saved the mybeesu.sh script. Click the OK button to save the new menu item.
Now, when you click the new menu item from the gnome menu, a zenity window will open asking which app you want to open. After that, a second window will open prompting you for the root password. If all goes well, and you entered the correct root password, your desired app should open as if you used su -c 'foo' to launch it.
I recently installed fedora 13, everything was going great, now when my computer boots it shows the slash screen and then a blank screen and nothing. its been doing it the past few days, after a few reboots it'll work but i'm unable to figure out what is causing it and today it won't show the graphical login screen at all. after the Fedora slash screen the screen goes black the power button shuts it down as normal. ctrl - alt - F2 works and lets me login text wise but I can't get the graphical login to work. nor can I boot to KDE or gnome.I do have Nvidia drivers installed, normall it'll show the nvidia slash screen before the graphical login prompt comes up and that doesn't happen. I did try init 5 and it says Nvidia drivers are loaded. 3d was working just fine I haven't done anything that I can think of to provoke this.

I have this issue on both Ubuntu and Lubuntu 11.04 64-bit on 2 different machines. I have not tested 32-bit.
When I run synaptic or update-manager it presents me with gksu, not gksudo as it previously did in previous Ubuntu releases, no matter how many times I try it will not accept my password.
I have even given it command line arguments to print the password to the terminal and it's correct.
I have found a workaround - by running gksu-properties and changing the mode from su to sudo it will now display gksudo and accept my password.
However, I want to know why it won't accept my sudo password for the su and gksu commands? There are no error messages which are outputted, the gui just says incorrect password.
using ubuntu 8.04..off late whenevr i try 2 open some applications frm ystem>administration like login window,synaptic,software sources,hardware testing tey all crash..all tese probably use gksu

At the GRUB splash screen at boot time, press any key to enter the GRUB interactive menu.
Select Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the version of the kernel that you wish to boot and type a to append the line.
Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word (press the Spacebar and then type single ). Press Enter to exit edit mode.
