Software :: Keep Rdesktop From Closing Applications?
Jan 13, 2009I use rdesktop on SuSE 11 to connect to several windows 2003 servers.
Whenever I disconnect, like by accidentally hitting the close button, all my applications on the server are closed and my session is closed.
I would like them to stay open. The windows guy here showed me how it's not happening with his remote desktop on windows XP.
Is there any way to change this?

Ubuntu :: Ufw Causing The Internet Not To Work
Jun 24, 2010i recently switched from windows vista to ubuntu 10.04, so i am a complete noob at this stuff... i enabled the ufw a few days ago and ever since then my Internet connection has been pretty spotty. i connect to the wireless network fine, and there is nothing wrong with the actual Internet connection (other computers in the house are using it fine) it is very frustrating and i was wondering if there is a way to stop this, do i need to forward some ports, or do i really even need the firewall at all... i don't really do many things that would allow me to get hacked in the first place..

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Tar Is Causing A Complete Freeze?
Jun 13, 2010I have a very simple bash script that just runs a series of backups using tar; for example, one of the lines reads:tar -czvpf /srv/backups/backup_home.tar.gz /homeThis script is scheduled to run every Friday, but occasionally I will schedule it to run before using 'at'. The script is located on the same disk as the backups are saved, I then transfer them off the machine manually (I've yet to automate this). I am only compressing files that are located on the server's disk, no files are being transferred over the network at all.
The problem is, occasionally it appears to be causing the 'server' I have running all the time to completely freeze. When this happens the machine does not power down and there are no entries in the log that indicate a problem. Everything simply stops until I press the reset button. Note that this issue also happens when you run the script manually and not just when it is run via cron or at.I *think* this might be happening when a large file is being compressed, but I'm not certain.
General :: Simple Bash Command Causing Bad Variable Name
Feb 18, 2010When I run this command from shell, it runs ok
export REVS=`svn info svn+ssh://svn.myone.ca/var/svn/story/trunk/lib |grep 'Last Changed Rev:'| awk -F: '{print $2}'`
However when I save it into a file called test.sh (of course, I chmod it with +x), I got error "export: 2: bad variable name"
Here is the file:

General :: How To Detect Process Causing System Load

General :: Htop - Find The PID Thats Causing The High CPU Cycles?
Dec 29, 2010Just trying to figure out some stuff with a broken process. A java app seems to sometime get stuck on a loop or something and i'm trying to find out what's causing it using just the following #sysadmin tools at my disposal.
Things like:- htop - find the PID thats causing the High CPU cycles. I'd then want to use /proc/[PID] or lsof -p [PID] or strace [PID] etc. But the PID doesn't exist in 'ps -ef' output so I think htop must be showing me kernel level thread PIDs?
Not sure about the PID's HTOP is actually giving me? I know that some of them are the real PID's that can be accessed through /proc/[pid] etc but others are not but are i assume child processes or more likely threads as child processes are normally shown in a default ps output anyway.
Is someone able to help distinguish to me about what exactly all these other PID's are that I can't manipulate or find apart from when using HTOP.
General :: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Not Closing Down?

Aug 21, 2010I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for several months and recently the system has stopped closing down cleanly. It starts okay and runs just fine, but when I come to closing down it doesn't do anything after I've clicked on the shut down button. The same happens with the restart button. I have been closing the system by pressing the power button on the front of my tower. I have no idea as to why it won't close ... I haven't installed any extra software, so I guess it's a system problem. Closing down by pressing the power button cannot be doing the OS any good, so I could do with a fix ASAP on this one.

Apr 30, 2011I recently purchased a dedicated server and have been having trouble with putty. I have been using the server to try and host the game called minecraft. Hosting the server is not a problem however. What is the problem is being able to exit putty without stopping the server. I looked this up, and it sayed to create a screen. I did that after installing screen. I then created a screen, ran the server, then tried to disconnect using the ctr-a-d.However only two things happen when i push the buttons. The majority of the time the window just closes, along with my server stopping. The other thing that happens is putty just stops. I cant type in anything, but I am still notified when I try to close putty.

General :: Process Gnome-appearance-properties Causing 100 Percent CPU Usage
Mar 18, 2011I am running a HP dc5750 dual core computer with a 512MB Nvidia 7200/7300 graphics card my operating system is Ubuntu 10.10. Both my processors are operating at 98-104% cpu usage, it appears that gnome-appearance-properties is the culprit and the only way to return to normal is to end these processes. I have been setting up the desktop cube to my liking and the processor appears to rise up to 100% again. Would getting a 1GB graphics card correct this or is this a bug in maverick meerkat. Any advice would be appreciated. Please keep it simply as I am a Newbie to Linux and find things over-whelming at times. Also would running at 100% on both processors at indefinite periods of time harm my computer.

Apr 6, 2010I want to close an open port which is in listening mode between my client and server application. Is there any manual command line option in Linux to close a port ??NOTE: I came to know that "only the application which owns the connected socket should close it, which will happen when the application terminates."I dont understand why it is only possible by the application which opens it ... But still eager to know if there is any another way to do it ??

May 28, 2010I'm wondering if there is any way to execute a program, run some command or anything else when closing the laptop's lid.
My question aims to be generic, both for Windows and Linux. Something useful should be locking the laptop when closing the lid (Win + L in windows), or running expensive processes such as antivirus analysis etc. without doing it manually before closing the lid.
General :: Backup Script Causing Data To Be Lost On Main Server- RHEL?
Feb 15, 2010i setup the following script ro run each night (12am) as a cron on the main server:
if mount | grep -q '/home';
then
rsync -ranv --delete /home/ 138.73.56.12:/home;
[code]....
the main server is running on a dell poweredge 2600. The script rsyncs to a virtualised duplicate running on a hp dl380. when i set this script up and begn running data started going missing from the main server. if new files had been created the files by staff they would go missing, if data was added to existing files prior to activating the script the new changes made to that file would be lost.i just cant understand why this happened. as soon as i turned the script off after a few days it was all back to normal but the data that had gone missing had gone missing.
i just wanted to know if this could be a disk read/write issue, was the script running too soon not allowing data to be written before it can be backed up? could it bee memory? i just dont know. another developed occured after a few days of all this happening, which was one of our hard disk from the main server started mis behaving and flashing amber (attention).

Jan 21, 2011I have a script which takes a file as input and reads it in while loop cuts the name of table and stores in a variable opens DB connection and queries for rowcount in that table closes the connection reads another file and then follows step 1 through 4 till EOF is reached. Now this script is taking longer to execute maybe because the DB connection is opened and closed each time.
My scripts is:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

I was thinking of changing this.I want to open the DB connection just once and then query it for all tables and then exit.
Ubuntu :: Certain Sites And Applications Don't Work
Jul 18, 2010Ive heard so much about linux and while it is great to be back online it is frustrating when certain sites and applications dont work with linux. Why cant linux produce a simple o/s like windows where i can download a file and open it simply without having to type and search.
I dont want to give up on ubuntu but unless i can get freecorder working or the sound recorder to actually record by itself or with audacity and tvu player and andromedanet.com to work hen i will have to, but my question remains- why cant linux be so user friendly to pcnumbnuts like me and others and perform simply and then you would have a real alternative to windows, but until then windows wins all time bye all.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Main Menu Won't Work On Some Applications?
Jun 10, 2011Recently our Son showed me Xscreensaver which he has running on his Debian Squeeze machine. Since I really like what you can do with it and since I use Squeeze as well, I figured that I'd try out the Xscreensaver on my system. Compiz is already working and I haven't had any 3D related problems yet. Anyway, so I install xscreensaver from the software center ... then I go to the main menu ... sure enough it's there alright. Then I place a checkmark in the box to activate/display that feature in the main menu ... but after a second or two the checkmark just vanishes. This happens over and over, even after rebooting.
I thought that a logged in user has full privileges over the items that appear in the main menu? Am I missing something? I don't know of any other (root) method to access the main menu with the apps ... Everything else reacts fine, just the folder for the xscreensaver can't be checked.
OpenSUSE :: Switched To SUSE - Applications For Legal Work?
Mar 24, 2011As the title of this post indicates, I recently switched over to SuSE from Fedora 14. I find that the default software repositories in YaST lack a lot of the amusements and applications I use for my legal work.
What I'm really looking for are apps that work well with the US tax code or plugins for law citations in LibreOffice. I could totally rely on SuSE if I could find that stuff!
I'm also looking for a few awesome games that I can download from an official repository. Can anyone recommend apps that fulfill my needs, any cool non-rogue RPG games or any software repositories where I can find them? I've got an X86_64 machine, openSuSE 11.4 KDE installed and I've got 4GB of DDR3 RAM.
