General :: Using Single Computer To Show Two Websites In Kiosk Mode
Jul 18, 2011
I've written two web pages that show the status of a internal application. The idea was to display both of them, on two different monitors, using only a single PC with two graphic cards. The system will be mounted to a wall and has no keyboard or mouse. That's why I need a script that will automatically launch two instances of firefox (in kiosk mode), each on it's own monitor.Currently the OS installed on the PC is OpenSuse, but I'm free to install a different linux flavor.So, how do I launch firefox on a specific monitor?

I have a few old workstations no longer serving the company. My thought was to use these as internet stations where employees can register their time thru our internal web-based application. I would like to have an environment working like Windows with the SteadyState add-on, access to a limited list of web-sites and no system changes by the user. I have looked at [URL] and [URL] which both meets me criteria when it comes to locking out the user from all system settings, but both seems to be totally open to all web-sites without the possibility for the admin to make a list of allowed sites.
Running it from a bootable CD without using the HD seems like the way to go for a surf-kiosk.

I'm trying to run Firefox 3 in a VNC server without a window manager, since I don't want Firefox window chrome. My only problem is that I can't figure out how to resize Firefox. There are parameters to specify width and height, but they don't work (#5104). Please, are there any solutions?
Another question: VNC server seems to run twm, even though it isn't installed. How is that possible?
I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.04.

My linux workstation recently crashed. After rebooting, Linux (Red Hat 5.3) will not boot properly and automatically went into emergency mode or recovery mode i think. I can still see my /home/user/ and all the files inside.I boot from CD to rescue mode and tried mounting read-only the /dev/sd5 which contains the files in the crashed hard disk to try to copy out my files but mounting was unsuccessful (invalid argument). I checked the filesystem type using fsck -N /dev/sda5 and shows it to ext2. i tried to mount another known working hdd and was successful.
My question is why in emergency mode, the crashed hdd is able to be mounted automatically as read-only but cannot be done in rescue mode thru a bootable CD?Is there any special mount options used in emergency mode?I also cannot copy out in emergency mode booting from the crashed hard disk as everything is read only.

I just completed a fresh install of the weekly jessie build (downloaded today). All I've done is install updates, add my username to sudoer list, and reboot. When I did, the xfce panel was not there. When I right clicked, Apps, Panel, it opened with an error that I cannot make changes unless I save my session and that it's in kiosk mode. After a logoff or reboot, it's still not there. I saw one thread asked for the output of /.xsession-errors, which I've done, and it doesn't look good... I'm just not sure how to fix:
Code: Select allopenConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
/usr/bin/x-session-manager: X server already running on display :0
xfce4-session-Message: ssh-agent is already running; starting gpg-agent without ssh support
(xfce4-panel:896): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: panel-window.c:2698 (panel_window_thaw_autohide): expression 'window->autohide_block > 0' failed.
(process:1035): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
tpatt@debian:~$
Like I said I've made no changes other than updates and installing sudo.

I've created Oracle Enterprise 5 Virtual machine. It was running fine but not sure what went wrong and now when ever I reboot the machine, it goes to single user mode. If I enter "init 5" command it boots to multi-user X11 mode without any problem.I checked inittab file and default line has id 5. So it looks OK. What else can be wrong?

I'm running debian lenny. Suddenly when I rebooted my system I was unable to login. I type root and the password and it tells me the login is incorrect.If I boot into single user mode, it accepts the password just fine. Looking in the /etc/shadow file, it appears to be fine as well.Running passwd to set a new password sets a new password just fine, i can login to single user mode with the new password, however, I cannot login at a higher runlevel with the password.
If I delete a password in the /etc/shadow file, then try to login as that user, it simply says "Login Incorrect" without even asking for a password.

Upon OS start-up Debian gives a choice, one is just simply start Debian, another line to start Debian, but with brackets (single-user mode). What's this for? And when and why do you need to use this?

I have this dump script that performs either full or incremental backups depending on the day of the week. From what I have read, when using dump you should drop to single user mode to help prevent the backups from being inconsistent before you issue the dump command. What I want is the script to drop to single user mode, perform the backups using dump, and then go back to runlevel 3 after the backups complete.
I know when you enter init 1 to drop to single user mode, but doing so within a script reboots the computer and drops it to single user mode and the rest of the script doesn't complete.What would be a good method for me to be able to accomplish what I want to do? Do I need to run other scripts that would call mine?I am running Centos 5.4

I have this intra net server project going on and now I moved to 10.04 however there are still some things that I would like to see clarification and instructions on. I am interested to set up multiple parallel websites for my apache server, however I am not sure how to do this exactly. Now I have solid address rivera.wippies.net and port 80 redirecting to my server. What I would like to get done is that I get multiple independent of each other websites for my server I was thinking of making websites like this
/var/www/site1 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net)
/var/www/site2 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net/othersite)
/var/www/site3 (which would be rivera.wippies.net/secondothersite)
etc, so that I have multiple "individual" websties for my server. Requirements would be that each of these websites could have SSL encryption as needed available too, since some of the website could have confidential information.

I currently am running 10.04.1 and have successfully setup my home web server to run a single website. My current settings are:
-I have registered the domain name annarrankings.com through godaddy
-A record is - host = @ and points to = 71.114.220.3
-CName is - host = www and points to = @
-on my server I have the site running in /var/www
I've done some research and found that to run multiple websites I need to setup VirtualHost.
-So I created a folder /var/www/annarrankings.com and moved my site to that folder
-Edited Apache2.conf to add the following line
-I then went to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and copied the default file to a new file called annarrankings.com. Here's the annarrankings.com file after I edited it
-I then created a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the annarrankings.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
-Next I editied /etc/hosts
-When i went to enable the site using a2ensite annarrankings.com I got the following
I figured this was ok since I had already created a symbolic link earlier (a result of trying to following multiple tutorials and ..... videos at once) so I reloaded apache2. I created an index.html file in /var/www/ just for testing purposes and when I load www.annarrankings.com I get the file located in /var/www/ instead of the website located in /var/www/annarrankings.com Do I need to change my A record or CName in godaddy or did I just do this completely wrong?

I followed instructions to enter single user mode by adding single at the end of kernel line but after that it doesn't ask for root password but brings up the sh# prompt. Isn't that supposed to be insecure? I understand for this the grub password can be applied but even after adding "single" it should ask for root password..or it should not..??

I am currently trying to figure out what's the best way to backup several PCs (about 5 computers each with Windows 7) from my family.
As I want the same solution for all Computer - I set up my old computer (Windows 7) and added some hard drives and there should now be enough space to backup the data of everyone from my family via the network. (Lets call this computer "Server")
But now I am wondering whats the best way to do this? What I do not want:
I do not want to start the Server each time manually when a computer tries to backup. (I thought about using WakeOnLan.. but I do not know if this is a good idea) I do not want the Server to run permanently I do not want to make the backups manually they should backup about every week automatically.
So which Software on the Computers / or the "Server" would you recommend?
Or would you eve recommend me to use Linux on the Server? If so, which Software would you use then?

How can I configure a single computer to work for multiple simultaneous users? I would like to have multiple keyboards and monitors on a single PC ... Is it possible? This set up I'm planning for CyberCafe, For cyberCafe business ROI is very slow... so was planning to have something like this....
-single CPU (Which would act as a server)
-Multiple monitors, keyboards, Headphones etc....
If this works out then I would save a lot on my investments (OS cost, Hardware devices, electricity etc)

I need VLC to start in fullscreen mode (easily done) but not allow the users to open new files or anything. Seeing as this is for a Kiosk I need to lockdown the system behind the application. After the video is done, VLC should simply quit and exit. A user could be able to prematurely kill VLC (Alt+F4) which is also fine. Would I need a script calling VLC to add extra features instead of calling it right from my application?

How do I get into Single User Mode in 10.04?
The grub menu seems to be gone in 10.04, and the computer boots in 2 seconds. It's great that it boots fast, but there has to be some way to specify boot options?
/etc/default/grub says the timeout is 10, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I am running redhat ES 5 on a dell server and recently, I ran into a snag where I was able to reduce a partition (ext3) but could not run resize2fs (mismatch between physical and logical blocks (i never found a solution to this). In any case I decided to log in a single user mode (appended 'single' at the GRUB loader prompt) and now I am always taken to this single user mode every single time I reboot and can't seem to get out of it. I have tried init 5 (runlevel that the system is set to boot into by default) but that does nothing (no message on the # prompt).Of course, I have 2 problems here:
1) partition issue
2) cannot log out of single user mode.
