Fedora X86/64bit :: Cannot Change Services With 'setup' Command Line In F10 (64-bit)
Jul 8, 2009
The problem relates only to the configuration of services in text mode ("setup", part of the setuptool package). The setuptool package is "setuptool-1.19.4-2.fc9.x86_64". There is no "Services configuration" menu when I start "setup". The tools listed in the setup window are:
IMHO, the reason I don't have a services configuration tool is the missing services configuration files "98services" and/or 99"services" (or something like that) from the setuptool's configuration directory. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) Can someone please let me know what information should be in those two files, and what are the correct file names? Without them I cannot change the services on this computer. (FYI, the GUI (system-config-services) works, however, I need to run this computer in text mode.)
I'm trying to automate OS installation. I've setup PXE and able to do network installation. For installation, I'm changing the BIOS boot order to boot from network.Once the OS installation is over, I need to manually change the BIOS boot order to boot from hard-disk. Can BIOS boot order be changed using programs/command-line so that i can eliminate human intervention in the installation process by changing back to the original boot order by program/commands?
I have installed fedora 13 , 86_64. and was working fine until now. The problem was that JEXEC service Froze while booting. So I removed it /etc/init.d. The next time when I booted ATD service Froze, so I removed it by the same way. Next it was the turn of CROND followed by KSM , KSMTUNED. Then came ABRT-DAEMON which I had to type a #yum erase abrt* command. Finally it came to the turn of SM-CLIENT. I don't know where it is or what it is. Didn't find quality posts on the internet. What the heck should I do and I dont want to do a reinstall.
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
I am pretty new to C.L.I/text editing work. So maybe its a bit old-fashioned but I am interested in learning how to send email via the command line. I am running 10.04 32 bit
Situation: I have followed the explicit and step-by-step actions at http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail
Question: Upon completion, when trying to send a test email to myself via gmail (from CLI) I get the following error: "msmtp: no recipients found". In CLI below it asks me to explicitly pick a mailx to download. I think I already have mailx as when I type mailx I get "no mail for primary".
Here is my work Code: :~$ sudo apt-get install msmtp mailx [sudo] password for: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done msmtp is already the newest version. Package mailx is a virtual package provided by: mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-4ubuntu1 heirloom-mailx 12.4-1.1 bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20090911cvs-2ubuntu1
You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package mailx has no installation candidate :~$ gedit ~/.msmtprc :~$ chmod 600 ~/.msmtprc :~$ gedit ~/.mailrc :~$ echo -e "testing email from the command line" > /tmp/test_email :~$ mailx -s "mailx gmail test" xxxxxxx@gmail.com < /tmp/test_email msmtp: no recipients found
Here is ~/.msmtprc Code: # config options: [URL]#A-user-configuration-file defaults logfile /tmp/msmtp.log # gmail account #account gmail auth on host smtp.gmail.com port 587 user xxxxxx@gmail.com password xxxxxx from xxxxxx@gmail.com tls on tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt # set default account to use (not necessary with single account) #account default : gmail and here is ~/.mailrc
Code: # set smtp for mailx # gmail account (default) # $ mailx -s "subject line" -a /path/attachment recipient@email.com < /path/body.txt set from="xxxxxx@gmail.com (xxxxx)" set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" set message-sendmail-extra-arguments="-a gmail"
I'm from a Solaris (printer.conf) background and having trouble setting up a printer on the network. My CentOS box does not have a GUI interface available. I have been playing with lpadmin trying to add a printer - which it did, but everything is disabled, and the "enable" command is not found on my machine.
How do I make a simple printer on my network talk to my centOS box?
Here's the printer.conf from a Solaris machine that works:
raphael: :bsdaddr=igppps1,raphael,Solaris: And the printers.conf from the CentOS box: lumina# more printers.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.4
I have installed CentOS 5.5 with no GUI - how do I enable/setup the "mail" client command to be able to send email via my Exchange 2007 mail server on my LAN?
I wanted to install Debian 8.0 on my second hdd in my UEFI machine, but when I choose UEFI boot from USB, GRUB command line appears, and I cannot boot up the setup. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB stick, using the amd64 kde CD image. I tried several images and I deleted the Linux and Efi partitions from previous installation of Ubuntu . Also I deleted GRUB from the Windows 7 Efi partition.
In the UEFI setup fast boot and secure boot are disabled, and I don't seem to have the option to boot in legacy mode, if I choose the simple USB boot option (without "UEFI" in front) I get "please insert correct boot media, and press any key or reboot". I couldn't manually boot from GRUB command line, because it is showing that all the drives are empty, and if I type "boot" I get "please load the kernel first".
setup a number of shared drives for accessing music, movies, photos and general files (documents, pdf files etc). now while a gui would be great, how to use the command line to setup these shared drives and also how to make the available in both windows and linux.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Lucid Lynx and I'm having problems implementing changes to interfaces.I have made changes to my interfaces via the GUI but when I open a terminal window and so a ifconfig I find that nothing has changed. I've opened an editor and looked at etc/network/interfaces but changes made with the GUI never make it to the config file.Does the networking GUI result in changes to the etc/network/interfaces file.
I am playing around with the idea of being able to use a cloud or instance based service to install Ubuntu 9.10 Server. This will enable me to have remote access via SSH command line.So far, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server + Ubuntu Desktop to a virtual machine. I can access this via SSH and locally via the desktop. However, in the real environment the only access I am going to have initially is via SSH.
I would like to be able to connect using Windows Remote Desktop or VNC (whichever is easier and most importantly - most secure) to the machine.. even though the desktop is on there, I need to somehow configure the remote access all from the command line.I've had a read of various forums and have been trawling support forums for days but can't find a working solution for 9.10 Server or that fits my situation above where I will not have any physical access to the desktop or machine to configure remote desktop. It all has to be done via SSH/command line.
I just searching a way to modify a hotkey like in system->preference->keyboard shortcuts but in command line, because I want to make a configuration file and I need to delete a hotkey.
I understand the basics, where certain files are located, how to change basic things, and very basic stuff with the command line (I use it to organize my files mainly). If at all possible could you supply me with a guide - be a website or a book to:
1) Just the general layout of the system (whats in the depth of the /etc folder and what naught)
2) How to more efficiently use the command line. As in where I am not giving in and using the GUI all the time.
3) What programming language(s) should I learn. I am thinking C and Python to start.
I decided to install Chromium OS to my dad's netbook, and it works perfectly. The only problem is that i can't change the time. Luckily, I can access a command line by pressing CTRL+ALT+T. So maybe I can change it from the command line.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 and for various reasons I found myself selecting a KDE session without KDE being installed. This has locked me into a situation where I can't boot up/log in properly. I can get to a command line and start the x environment as root. How can I re-set any user's preferences to default (via the CL)? Ie, I'd like to re-set a user (myself) so that I can again choose the log in to a gnome session.
I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found an elegant way to do it. I can't just use the GUI since I want to integrate this line of code into a greater shell script for this project.
My preferred terminal is terminator, but it doesn't really matter at this point.
I want to change the default command line editor from vim to nano, so for example when I type "visudo", I want it to user nano. In Ubuntu this can be easily done by using "update-alternatives --config editor", but openUSE doesn't have an editor-option
I built Ubuntu desktop up from a server install. I'm using Gnome. I want to change the system's language, and I have no menu option to enter System>Preferences>Language Support. I need to either:1.) Install whatever will place that option in the menu.2.) Affect the change via the command line (preferable).I just can't figure out what to install and Google only produces GUI tutorials. =/
is there a way to change the gdm login screen (either the background image or the text in the login window) from the command line?i'd like to check several things at boot and report that on the gdm login screnn.
I installed the latest version off the download site yesterday, when first booting an error message came up that my hardware does not support the most recent desktop environment so I should switch to classic. After a bit of googling I found out how to do this.
The problem is that my hardware really doesn't support the current desktop environmet, I can't get the windows to appear, I just get black rectangles in the middle of the screen instead, so the GUI is inaccessable.
I am looking for instructions on changing the desktop environment from a command line (which I can boot to).
I am using debian 5.04(base) + lxde. I am using gdm to login. I want to change the gdm to commandline login only, which similar to (ctrl +alt + f2) but whenever computer restart, it boot into gdm. what is the file to change the boot level?
I have a Debian Linux desktop. I want to change the screen's brightness without pressing the brightness button of my monitor. How can I do this? is this possible in command line or is there an application to be installed?
