Red Hat :: Command Line Prompt But Not The Correct Bash Prompt?
Feb 2, 2011I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.4 on HP DL580 server with 16 processors and 64 GB of RAM. I'm connecting to the server remotely through SSH. after entering the password, it takes time to return the command line, if I click ctrl+c during this time, I'll have the command line prompt but not the correct bash prompt (I have to run bash to pass to my correct prompt).I tried to install Apache on the server, ./configure took 4 hours to finish instead of 1 or two minutes, Oracle installation same behavior.

Sep 6, 2010After contracting malware on Vista i decided to switch over to Linux and chose to start of with Ubuntu because of the graphical interface. that being said, you have no doubt inferred that i have no coding experience. basically i was hoping to find some nice tutorials and sites for Ubuntu. Also, i did downloaded the suggested programs and patches but im still experiencing problems with Adobe,flash, and and opening .exe files. for the latter, when i click on .exe files it is equivalent of using explorer on windows so i was wondering how to use the command prompt to open them. supposedly linux is susceptible to malware so if you could please suggest a anti -malware program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Change Bash Prompt On Ubuntu?
Feb 2, 2011I have one account on an Ubuntu server with the correct PS1 variable and I want to make one of my other accounts on the same server have the same PS1 variable, so that my prompt on this new account (when I ssh into the machine) is the same as the original account.
Is there a way that I can pass this PS1 variable between accounts so the prompt is the same?
I have tried printing it out, copying the output, and then reassigning it to PS1 on the new account, but it just doesn't work.
Here is what is printed when I type echo $PS1:
[e]0;u@h: wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[�33[01;32m]u@h[�33[00m]:[�33[01;34m]w[�33[00m]$

General :: Sudo Su Runs Without Password Prompt?
May 25, 2011So here's the problem. We've got the /etc/sudoers file set up so that users can run commands from /bin like "cat" or "mkdir" without entering a password. The problem is that the "su" command is also in /bin, so if they enter "sudo su", it gives them root access without a password. Here's the /etc/sudoers file:
Defaults targetpw
%users ALL=(ALL) ALL
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
support ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/, /bin/, /opt/, /etc/init.d/, /elo/
support ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mysql
Is there a way I can deny /bin/su while still allowing the rest of the /bin commands?

General :: Init.d Process Does Not Return To Prompt?
Jul 9, 2010I have a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d named foo. I want to start/stop/restart my process as follows:$ foo start But I do not see the [OK] message once it starts. There is no shell prompt returned either. It seems that my own process is the problem. The executable that foo calls is built from this sample code:
int main()
{
do {
printf("Hello world
");
sleep(1);
} while (1);
}
Do I have to return some kind of signal handle for this to work?

11:00 me@host a/very/very/very/long/path
> ls -ltr ./stuff
and to be honnest as I am very new in LINUX I don't know how to do this...

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Boots To Grub Prompt Instead Of Kubuntu?
Feb 9, 2010I recently installed Kubuntu with the windows installer wubi. Everything has gone fine until today. When i turn on the pc i normally have a prompt to go to windows or kubuntu. I choose Kubuntu and it loads it up. But now it goes to a grub prompt and i have no idea how to fix this or get into Kubuntu.
Things i did before the last reboot that may have caused this.
I edited my swappiness to help speed things up at the advice of many websites.
Example: url
I changed it from 60 to 10. I did this by adding the line "vm.swappiness=10" to the end of sysctl.conf
I noticed that there was a # or something at the beginning of every line in sysctl.conf and i did NOT add it to my line. This is my guess as to why i am having problems.
The other thing i did was some bug updates. Something was popping up down by the clock area and it was asking me to do some bug updates of some sort. I said yes.
Any idea on how i can fix this? As of now i cannot get into kubuntu at all. It just gives me a grub command prompt.
