View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat is your opinion on *very* early development builds of Ubuntu? I decided to post this poll because I have *already* upgraded to the Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" Pre-Alpha.
Please explain your votes in detail. Edit: Sorry for not posting the poll; accidentally posted too fast.
I just installed Ubuntu last night on a partition, and so far..There is one thing that may be a deal-breaker for me though: It seems that I am always prompted for a password!!!! When I first start my machine up...PASSWORD! O-K, once a day wouldn't be so bad...but if I let my display turn off while I'm away from the 'puter...I come back, and...PASSWORD?! Every time I try to do anything on the system....PASSWORD?!
I did a few things that I thought might solve the problem- I checked some boxes here and there, like "automatically log on" and made myself an administrator....but no matter what I do, I'm plagued by the password prompt 600 times a day and i can't take it!!!
Is there any way to stop this nonsense? This is WORSE than Windows UAC crapola!! (at least with that, you just have to click a button)- As much as I am loving Ubuntu....if there is no way to disable this password nonsense, I'm afraid I'll be heading back to Vista. I'm the only person who uses my computer (Although I think my dogs were playing on it while i was out fixing the tractor today...)- so I just need to know if there's a way to get rid of all this password-protected stuff?
wrote a simple script that will Parse Secure log find the failed login attempts, and strip out the IP Address. Then take those address and create a file listing them. Thx to colucix for the awk understanding which is then fed into Nmap grabbing OS and Ports that are open on that remote machine -> output is shoved threw Sed only grabbing the Characteristics I felt were need. The output from that is piped into another Directory called Nmap/ and files are created with the output and ipaddress for the file name;
Then that same list that was fed into Nmap is fed into Whois and output is shoved into SED striping out the non-sense getting only valuable info. Those are then put into the Whois/ with the file names being the IP Address and whois info dumped into them.There are lots of paths I can go to continue the chain with all this info... But for now it just merges the Whois Info and Nmap Info into a Master File which is then fed to ssmtp to send an email with the Info to whatever address you like.Put it in a cron job, and it executes every night at 11pm with the secure log being rotated out at 1105pm. Cycle is then repeated. Like I said this is really my first Bash Script.
I have done Batch script with, remote printer mappings, and default printer setups. But thats here nor thereWhat I am really looking for since this script is functional, is your criticism and your technique on another way of accomplishing the objective your critiquing. Just trying to build my skills and look at this process from another perspective.
Code:
echo 'Grabbing the IPs'
# Grabbing IP's from secure log, putting them in the ip array, and then spiting out the

I'm running a dual-boot with linux mint and Windows. I have an E-machines desktop with : 760 GB Hard Drive 6GB RAM NVidia GeForce Graphics card 6150se Integrated AMD Athalon II X2 235e dual-core processor My problem is getting my grub to boot into Linux Mint, and the problem may lie with my graphics card. Whenever I install the linux mint for the first time, I am prompted to activate my proprietary NVidia graphics driver, which I do. Then I am asked to reboot.
Upon reboot, the system gets to the grub menu, accepts my selection to boot linux mint, then the "progress dots" appear on the screen. After about 8 seconds, the screen switches into command prompt mode. I never get to the graphical sign-on screen. All I get is the console sign-on prompts. From there my only option seems to be to reboot. (sudu reboot). After which, of course, I am forced to go into Windows vs. Linux to avoid the problem. Once Windows has loaded up, I do a restart and go back into Linux Mint . Finally, I get to the Linux sign-on graphical screen.
To summarize, i cannot restart linux mint without getting stuck staring at a console screen. I can get back into linux mint if i use the command 'sudo reboot', and, from the grub menu, choosing to go into Windows. From Windows, I then do a restart and end up back at the grub screen again, but this time when I select linux mint, things work and I am given the sign-on gui.
If I choose to not install the graphics driver (and put up with the annoying reminder to activate one), the system dual boots without a problem.
I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Quad-Core 3GB RAM machine. I am now looking to dual-boot it with Linux Mint 7 64-bit. While I am an IT Service Management major, I really only know enough to be dangerous, and I don't want to ruin the first computer that I have ever bought outright. (Nor do I want to have to reload Windows 7 again.) I also want to be able to run Microsoft Office (I despise OpenOffice, so this is not an option), other programs native to Windows, and iTunes. Anyone know how to do this correctly?
