I remember screenshots in which a cli window is opened and in it kernel version, processor type, and other information is displayed along witnice little ascii art of the distribution logo. I have seen it for gentoo and debian, but forget the name.
View 6 RepliesI am running Wheezy 7.9 and recently created a file, in xorg.conf.d, to set the monitor configuration because the EDID is not always read from the monitor. Everything works great but when the EDID is not read the monitor name, as shown in System Settings>Displays, shows as Unknown. I have the vendor info and modelname in the config file but they do not show in the Display GUI. Is there some variable that I can set in order to get a good monitor name displayed?
Probably should include some more information. I am using the Gnome Classic desktop and gdm manager. Here is the monitor conf file that I put in /etc/X11/xorg,conf.d
Code: Select allSection "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "VSC"
ModelName "VA912b"
DisplaySize 376 301
HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 85.0

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Compaq Presario CQ60 with Nvidia GeForce 8200M graphics card. When I first installed Windows 7 followed by Karmic in dual boot I could boot into both OS. Now when I try to boot into Windows, it displays the Windows logo and then drops back to the grub menu. It may have started happening after Windows 7 installed updates. I tried reinstalling both Windows and Karmic again and it again worked initially but now Windows no longer boots. Does anyone have any suggestions about what may be causing this or how I can fix the problem without reinstalling?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a usb device driver consisting of mostly read and write commands. It can successfully read/write using the bulk endpoints, however reading from the interrupt endpoint causes a system crash.As the crash happens whilst writing to kern.log, the file doesn't get a chance to close, therefore done of my debug printk calls are saved. Also, I get know response from using the magic sysrq key.
Does anyone have an ideas on how I can get any system information about what's causing the crash, or possible causes of the crash. (Using a usb sniffer running on another pc, I can see that the packet is coming in from the interrupt endpoint).

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow to remove X completely from the system?
As a Security practice I wanted to disable X from loading.
So i modified following line from /etc/inittab.
id:3:initdefault:
I was then able to start my machine in terminal mode(runlevel 3).
I wasn't satisfied at this stage as i was able to get the graphical console by merely typing code...
Now i have made the above line commented and removed execute bit of the file .
System is now behaving as i wish it would.
I have 2 questions here.
1)Is this Method considered to be stardard while removing X in linux distro.
Will it make any difference?
I m not using any application that explicitly use graphical user interface and i can work in runlevel 3.
2)Is any package responsible for loading X .If yes then removing shall remove X from the system,correct me if i m wrong.code...

I've been trying to figure this out... What command does the system use to display this at login:
Quote:
System information as of Fri Oct 1 08:35:54 CDT 2010
System load: 0.28
Usage of /: 10.8% of 17.89GB
Memory usage: 51%
Swap usage: 3%
Processes: 112
Users logged in: 1
IP address for eth0: <ip.address>
It's not uname, free, top, df, uptime, etc... Also doesn't appear to be anything in /proc that I've found. Anyone know what it is? I want to grab its output as part of a script. I could use other commands I suppose, but this system info output is neat and concise.
I am a new user of Linux and it was just my luck that my Windows partition along with my WD 350GB external HDD got infected with a virus. My computer science buddies suspect that the virus in my HDD was in a folder called System Volume Information. Right now, my Windows partition's been removed so my netbook is 100% Linux. I also deleted said folder from my HDD. However, the System Volume Information folder in my HDD still keeps on appearing.
I read that the System Volume Information folder is a Windows folder so I'm wondering why it still keeps on appearing? Is this still the virus? I'm skeptical but right now, I really don't know.
I'm a linux newbie and scripting novice and I'm trying to pull auditing info and dump it into a file. I made some login changes so it would get audited but I don't want to have to sift through the log to see who the user was and what was done. This is what I have below here and I can't seem to get it to extract the info want using the event id. The "ausearch -a $10" from the script should get it from the 10th column but it's not working.If I can get this to work I would like to add additional aureport options.
