Clients printers are from different vendors like Samsung, HP and Kyocera.
Some printers print request with Cover Page with content of "job-id job-name job-originating-user-name job-originating-host-name job-billing" like Samsung ML-2250 or HP Laserjet 1100
but in Kyocera print without banner.

The bottom half is acutally "static" and doesn't change. The top part is what I would normally see. How do I remove the bottom portion of the banner? Or modify the banner?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy F12 is connected to a Xerox DC432 printer on the network. The problem I'm facing is that banner sheet cannot be disable. The configuration setting on Administration->Printing showed that banner is off by default. "/etc/cups/printers.conf" file also have "JobSheets none none". I had the same problem with F11. Is there any step I'm missing? It doesn't seem to be problem of the printer itself because I could do this on a Windows OS.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am volunteering to set up a computer lab for a small private school on an extremely limited budget. I love Ubuntu for my home, and on my server at work, but have never used it in a school before. I would like to "lock down" all the control panels, pretty much everything except for a few applications (open office, firefox, and some educational games, of course). I don't want the students (who will be automatically logged in as guests) to be able to make changes, or unintentionally mess things up.
Alternatively, at the public school I work at, we use Windows (sigh) that has been "frozen" using a program called Deep Freeze (similar to windows "steady-state"), which causes any changes a user my make revert back to default when rebooted. Is there a Linux equivalent? That may work too!
i just tried to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my old Amilo Lifebook P Series.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to secure a workstation according to the DISA STIG and updated this machine from f10 to f12 to take care of a lot of kernel and openssl vulnerabilities.
I've gone into the Login Manager by running /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US as root, turned off themed greeter to enable the Dialog tab and inserted the login banner in the Greeting field. I checked the Xresources file in both /etc/kde/kdm and /etc/X11/xdm and the xlogin*greeting: field has my banner.
However when I restart the machine I am not prompted by the banner and when I select a user I am not prompted by the banner.
I'm not sure if this could be the issue but I get errors when launching kcmshell4:

I would like to do the following: Create a banner for any user logging in through ssh which warns him/her about the number of processors being used already by other users (or conversely the number of free processors). For example, if a user logged in he would then see a message like: Warning! 7 out of 8 processors are in use.I already figured out how to do a banner and with ps -e -o pcpu I can get all processes' %CPU usage. I think I would like to count the number of processes which have more than 90% CPU usage and output this number ("7" in the example) in the banner
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have changed my sshd banner in /etc/motd code...
However, I would also like to change the banner that someone sees if they attempt to use another method of connecting to my ssh server (telnet, for example). Currently, this is what happens code...
Where do I edit the telnet/ssh banner, so it isn't so easy to fingerprint my os/ssh version simply by using something such as telnet?
The file browser Nautilus displays a banner with a statement about what type of media is connected, what files are stored on the media (music on a CD, movies on a DVD, photos on a camera, etc.) and a button to open the suggested application when I insert or connect media to the computer and choose to open it in the file browser. I did not find this behaviour useful, yet. (There already is the pop-up window that is displayed when media is inserted or connected which asks what application to open.)In a specific case, where I connect my cellphone to the computer there are two notices:"The media contains digital photos [Open F-Spot Photo Manager]" and"These files are on a digital audio player [Open Banshee Media Player]"It is little useful. One is okay, but two notices take up too much screen space for displaying files.

Now i have the Problem that the script has some variables and after the "Hostname, OS, HW, IP" the "stars" are anyware, but not there they should. The most problem is the $OS this string can verry long or verry short be. Fedora release 12 (Constantine) or RedHat 5.4 i can do that after the variables place the "stars" on the write position?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to apply the same settings of Gnome among a group of users. I configured a "master"-user and exported his Gnome settings using
Code:
gconftool-2 --dump > gnome_settings.xml
For the other users, where the settings from the "master"-user shall apply, I did
Code:
gconftool-2 --load gnome_settings.xml
While most of the settings were set properly, I am missing the links for Firefox and OpenOffice in the panel which I had configured. How I can copy the Gnome settings from one user to another, including links to Firefox and OpenOffice in the main panel?
I am switching to Gnome because its look and feel is closer to Windows for my workgroup. LDAP and NFS are working fine with KDE and SSH. but I cant login with LDAP users both directly or via NX client. When logging in directly on the server it shows this error:
Code:

When logging via NX client it says, it authenticated successfully and then quited with this popup message:
Code:
Could not connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-0frstajyNE: Connection refused
I closed this popup window and one more appeared:

I'm looking to customize the environment for new users by changing the items in the GNOME menu, change the panel layout, add some shortcuts, and do a few other things. I looked in /etc/skel and there doesn't seem to be anything GNOME related in there; I also tried to put .gconf, .gconfd and .gnome2 from my home directory into /etc/skel and that didn't do what I wanted.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a manner to prevent users from changing the desktop background/wallpaper and all other gnome configuration with booth Ubuntu and Kubuntu. This too (Abraxis, some years ago, have same my problem) [URL] do not solve the problem, for example if I change whit chown (*) own and group of this file to root /.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml, at the next reboot file return in the previous state.

chown root:root %gconf.xml

In my custom Ubuntu, I can't use gnome-disk-utility application to format USB drive ("Permission denied" error). I have to run gnome-disk-utility with "sudo" to do that.
I guess that I am not in a group which has permission to working with devices, but I can't find out what group is.
Another problem is I can't use "Users and groups" application (users-admin) to manage users and groups, I click buttons but nothing happens I guess that I don't have some kind of permissions too.
How could I fix these 2 problems?
Having a little issue with creating a login message banner in RHEL6 that uses two buttons. One for Accept which logs the user in. The second for Cancel which immediately logs the user out. I've modified the /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file to have the script, posted below, and it worked perfectly fine in RHEL5. But in 6, when you click Cancel, the user is still able to log in. It even states in the system logs that the user cancelled the login.As you can see, I have the script using the 9th field of the user's env to get the PID, and using the kill command to end the process, which should be logging the user out right away if they click the Cancel button. This works in 5 without issue (though I used -f5 in RHEL5, had to move it to -f9 for RHEL6).

I am sure that this is very simple but I can't seem to figure out how to get the bugger off of Nautilus.
