On Slackware64 13.1 the as-installed en_GB locale gave Sunday as the first day of the week. This was not an issue until Xfce's Orage calendar was used when its display of Sunday as the first day of the week was offputting for someone used to Monday. A minor inconvenience but expected to be easy to fix.
At the command line:
Code:
c@CW8:~$ export LANG=en_GB <== same for en_GB.utf8

Y want to rename a bunch of files and directories to remove the space on the names, easy enough right?
Code:
for source in $(find ./); do target=$(echo "$source"|sed -e 's/ /_/g'); mv -f "$source" $target; done
Well, I thought that should have work but the problem is that $source comes up broken, when I run it with echo instead of mv I get the echo with broken names.
Code:
In this case "$source"="This is the file I want to rename"
$ echo "$source"

I have an Acer Aspire 6930g with an nVidia GeForce 9300m GS which has a broken screen. I have been using an external monitor for some time using Linux Mint, without issue.
I initially set this up with great difficulty using the small parts of the screen that would still display an image at the time. Now, however the screen is totally dead, I have since disconnected the laptop monitor in order to not cause issues.
The issue I am currently having is trying to use live distros.
I'll give you example: I boot ubuntu 9.10 32bit and it gets to the initial boot menu. I choose "Try Ubuntu..." It shows the loading screen. Screen goes blank when going to desktop
I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal, but the screen stays blank. The same thing happens with both Knoppix and Backtrack 4 as well. The display goes blank upon switching to the desktop.
Maverick 10.10 is unable to create Japanese locales on my wife's laptop (Acer Aspire 3000). This machine previously had no such problem. The install is a fresh install, since the machine froze during the upgrade (no fault of Ubuntu's). A possible complication is that it froze several times more during the install, and I have gone through many recovery boots and iterations of dpkg configure. All relevant packages are installed, I believe. Everything else works. Through System, Administration, Language Support, I have installed all components of English and Japanese. Currently English is selected. Japanese should appear in the list but does not. Japanese text appears properly, and I can write in Japanese,But all the menus are in English. Fine by me, but my wife will want Japanese when she uses the computer again (not soon).This mostly likely is a glibc/libc6 problem, as far as I can tell. I can't find any other Ubuntu user with this problem recently.And now, some outputs:1. dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...

I used setfacl to set permissions as follows:
As you can see all settings lead to permissions 777 but that's not what happens. What happens if I say, touch a file, I get: 666 as this shows:
Same for files that are not obviously scripts such as just a.txt.
My umask is 0022.
Does anyone know why this is? Is it changeable for specific directories?
This is a special world viewed directory required by a piece of software... in other words, no, I am not in a habit of setting file permissions to 777 so please no comments about you shouldn't be using such permissions.
Truthfully, I can probably get away with permissions 666 and will if I can but right now I just want to know why it's happening this way and how to control it.
I'm trying to test whether some software that I am using will behave as expected when DST change over occurs. I'm specifically testing it for the GB timezone when it enters British Summer Time (BST) and then reverts to GMT. From the information I have, BST starts: Sunday 28 March 01:00 GMT (02:00 BST)and ends: Sunday 31 October 02:00 BST (01:00 GMT )To do this test I wrote a shell script that sets the date, runs the program, checks some logs and then reverts the time.
Entering BST was fairly straight forward as all I had to do was the following: export TZ=GB
date 032800582010This set the date to be 28th March and the time to be 00:58 in the GB (GMT) timezone. As expected, the date then rolled forward to 02:00 BST. However, when I tried to do the same for coming out of BST into GMT, the time did not work out as expected. export TZ=GB
date 103101582010Setting the time as above put the time straight into GMT and not BST even though it was two minutes before the time should have rolled-over.
However if I put the following: export TZ=GB
date 103100582010the date was reported as BST!
How can I setup the time so that I don't have to wait for hour before BST ends?
On the computer on which I have to login, Shoreline is installed.I know I can add rule to /etc/shoreline/rules but I decided to manually enter an iptable rule by typing:

There is this one server running CentOS5.4 Final which has certain application like Bugzilla. I have setup ssh on it and setup is for password less authentication. Have also setup PasswordAuthentication to no. So with password authentication should succeed. But it is. Though password less authentication is working fine, but I am also able to login using password.
Code:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication no
So those of you that know me will agree that when it comes to awk I don't usually ask a lot of questions ... however this one has me stumped. I am guessing I have missed something obvious but for the life of me (and I have tested at great length) I cannot find it So the scenario is this: The following awk code should identify all versions of libgpg-error within the attached file (see below) and only show one for each version:

CentOS 5.2. Openldap server-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 I'm trying to get the server to do two things. One is allow authentication--that is, if a client is configured to use openldap for authentication, it should be able to access this server.
In other words, on machine_2, a client, doing getent passwd (as a quick test) will show the users in the openldap database. The more or less out of the box configuration works for this. However, as soon as I start trying to add ACLs, it stops working. For example, I want to restrict access to an address book which is also in the database. So I have
access to base.dn(changing base to subtree makes no difference) "ou=addressbook,dc=example, dc=com"
by users read by anonymous auth Now, even though this is just the address book, after that, an ldap client can no longer get the names of users in ou=People, and using the ldap server for authentication doesn't work.
I don't understand what I'm missing. ACLs are supposed to work first match wins. *IF* I add under that, access to * by * read, it will work, but the address book can then be accessed without a bind dn.
I am not sure what I'm overlooking. If I put in any sort of access control, the only way that clients can continue to use the server for authentication is adding that access to * (or to dc=example,dc=com"), by * read. I tried using access to ou=Group and ou=Peoplle by * read, thinking that would allow the clients to authenticate, but that doesn't work either, The idea is to allow any machine configured as a client to use it for authentication, but also to restrict viewing the address book only to those with a proper bind dn name.
I want to try out the screenlet called Folder View:[URL]I have downloaded and installed it fine. However, when I double-click on it (or use the Start/Stop button) there is a momentary flash and then nothing interesting.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried to find solution in existing posts but could not specifically find any with my kind of issues and hence a new post on oft repeated subject !! -- and apologies for a long long post here.Here is where I am ..On a AMD 64bit machine - I have ubuntu 10.10 desktop installed. I want this development machine to support virtual mailboxes so that I can use them from multiple apps and create real life deployment situations.I installed postfix + dovecot following the tutorials available here and current state is - I can send mails using telnet sessions and I see that the mail files are getting created in /Maildir form as I have directed in the conf files. I have configured Thunderbird mail client as well.
Issue #1: Mail sending works from Thunderbird but it always responds back with 'No mail on server' message when I try to receive mails. SMTP is configured with STARTTLS and POP3 with None (i.e. plain text password)Issue #2: Also, while going thru conf, logs and during testing - I found a few things which defer in this installation for authentication. I have given the session transcripts here.Issue #3: That being major issue - I also want to configure my virtual users to use TB client to access their mails - I did not find any tutorials or pointers towards that in my search for past few days. If I send mails to a non-Unix virtual user - the mail gets stored into /home/vmail/<domain>/<user>/new directory.Here are the conf files.main.cf for postfix
Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

Not sure if this is the correct area to ask this question as it pertains to Upstart but not necessarily to Ubuntu.
Anyhoo, I have made a small alteration (obviously the cause of error ) but not really sure why it does not work.

I haven't done a great deal of networking with Linux so bear with me if the solution seems obvious.I've got four machines with two Ethernet cards each; one on-board and one PCI. I'm trying to get it set up so that the PCI card is eth0, then the on-board eth1. This.. isn't going as easily as I would have thought. I expected I could just go to network configuration, switch to the "Hardware" tab... change the on-board card to be device eth1, change the PCI to be device eth0... then go to the "Devices" tab and change the nickname to match the device.
This has decidedly not worked at all. Additionally, on some of the machines that I haven't messed with, the device name for the PCI card isn't ethn, it's something like "Intelnnnnn" (some string of numbers that I don't have in front of me). Something more specific to the card I'm sure, but while I can assign that device a nickname, I can't use it.. I can ping -I Intelnnnn ip.add.re.ss, but I can't ping -I eth3 ip.add.re.ess.
Where am I going wrong here? I've looked at a few tutorials online but they look extremely more complicated (read_device_bus_id? qeth device?) than should be necessary for just what I'm trying to do
I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
LANG=ja_JP.utf8

I have a problem to get it to work. The installer seems to read the preseed-file alright, and some of the values defined in the preseed-file are taken into account. The questions regarding locale, keyboard layout and time zone are answered using the preseed-file, but in the user account creation-step the process goes wrong. The Full name-field is obtained from the preseed-file, but the login-name is generated by the installer and not read from the preseed. Also the password-fields are empty and not filled in. Also the script that I've defined with preseed/late_command is never run.
I tried searching the forums but no-one had exactly this kind of problem, so it makes me think that this has to be some trivial error I'm doing. Could someone take a look at these configs and see if there's something wrong with them? How should I continue resolving this?

I use the en_US locale with a UTF-8 character set on Arch Linux, but this shouldn't matter, I think.
Under Debian "Expert Installation" once I have chosen installation/system language and location, I get an informative notice, that:
Code:
There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country you have selected.
..and I need to choose one locale available for the selected language. As I understand, locale is just a set of environmental variables used by applications and printed out with locale command?
In addition, is it possible to generate own locale files after the installation, which will match my needs?
I recently moved from gnome to xfce in my arch linux box. After I added greek to keyboard layout some applications like skype, openoffice and vlc changed their menus in greek characters. English language but greek characters! Anyone got any idea what can I do with this one?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn accordance with directives - possibly misunderstood - I have reconfigured the Debian "locales" package; I changed the installed locale from en_US.ISO-8859-1 to en_US.UTF-8 and left the default locale for the system as "none". So far so good. In my ".bashrc" file, I have an entry for "LC_LANG".
If this entry is set to "en_US.ISO-8859-1" all my texts are readable on the console but I get warnings like: Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale If I change the LC_LANG entry to "en_US.UTF-8", I no longer get these warnings but the screen-display of Midnight Commander (mc) is a real mess.

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.3, upgraded from 11.1, with the Nvidia video driver. The font size for Yast, Firefox, and several other things is too small. I've tried changing it using the Appearance section of Personal Settings. That changes the font size in some contexts such as the window titles and task manager, but not in all contexts. In Firefox I've tried something similar, but it doesn't affect the font used in the tabs, function bar on the top, etc. The font in those parts of Firefox is the same as the one in Yast. So there's some other font setting around, but I haven't been able to find it. I've tried Google and SDB, but have no success searching there.
