General :: Opening Xserver Config File In Ubuntu 10.04?
May 12, 2010
i have the following graphic card:Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) i think appropriate drivers are installed at the time of installtion! but the compiz (desktop effects) are not working! i have installed nvidia-settings! it says: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. then i tried to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" but it says"command not found!
If there's some file, how can i forbid user to open it ? Ex. some text file or video file and forbid regular users (except root) to open/play it . Wouldn't chmod work here or should i use some other method ?
I ran a program that writes continuously from 1 every line. After some time I ran '/dev/null > temp' Problem1: bash: /dev/null: Permission denied (Yes, the permissions of /dev/null are correct ... crw-rw-rw-. I removed and created it again, but no change) I used 'cat temp' to see the contents and first few lines deleted (working correctly). Problem2: I can't open the file (with double click or with any graphical editor like gedit)
Apart from these problems, I have another question... Is there a way to trim a active log file to say 80% without affecting any logs that server might be writing.
I am running an Ubuntu(10.04) box and I am attempting to understand an error in a program.I don't have access to the source of this program, but I know it isn't working properly because it cannot find a particular file. I was wondering if it would be possible to monitor what file are accessed(more specifically denied access) by a process. My first idea was to breakpoint on fopen, but I didn't have any success.
I have a MP3 player which is owned by Root. I have tried the following: in terminal - chown as both my usual log-in and root operation not permitted. I ran chown as both su, root, and myself. In Nautilus - I can't change any of the file attributes again opening it as any of the users above. I used to be able to copy files over to the MP3 player but not the Sandisk but not I can't copy or do anything to the files on both.
This is gaurav. I have lost/override the old configuration (config file) while compiling the new kernel resulting in my internet connection failure. I have tried re-booting the pc, the only escape (somewhat weired) i would thought of, still it does not restore the original.
I have installed CUDA-BLASTP on C2050.It is giving me an Error:"Bad address Error opening matrix file (null) for reading" while i am running with following query file and dataset:
and i am using BLOSUM62 as a matrix file which is already present in package.
And getting the error:"Error happened when the number of GPUs is 0" while i am running CUDABLASTP with a part of dataset taking as a query file and dataset is same. above mentioned error is comming from file "CUDA_Blast.cu" included in package.
else { printf("Error happened when the number of GPUs is %d ", localGPU_N); exit(0); }
I want to edit the config file of an application I have installed and the documentation says that the config file is per-user and therefore stored in "~/". Which folder is that? The app itself is installed in "/usr/local/bin/".
Recently I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian, first thing i wanted to do was to give myself sudo permissions and lock the roir account. By default sudo group don't have permissions to do this on debian, so i wanted to edit sudoers file by typing visudo. But i keep getting this error: Error opening terminal: vanilla How can i solve this.
Having a problem in my awstats, I'm a little lost to were to edit the config file to show all IP's and host so far its only showing up my IP and the PC's on my network and nothing else.
I'm trying to compile a program from source. When I run make the following appears:./ config. status --recheck make: ./config.status: Command not found make: *** [config.status] Error 127.There is no file called config. status in the current directory. Why was it not created?
I plan to use newsbeuter for console RSS reading.This program has a config text file where I need to store my Google account password,in order to access my Google reader.I don't feel easy at making my password readable to everyone.Is there anyway I can somehow encrypt this information ?
There are many more of these entries in the file, over 500, all in this same format: each host has a "define host" followed by 18 directives contained in squiggly brackets.
If I want to know all the hosts that are in the hostgroup called SERVER_GRP, I suppose I would need to read every hostgroups line (8th directive in squiggly brackets) that contains SERVER_GRP and output the corresponding host_name line (1st directive in squiggly brackets) from that entry.
I have a few questions to ask, so please pardon me
1) How to check for https in commands config file for Nagios? I only know how to check for http, not sure for https.
2) The log file in Nagios, is it possible to extend Nagios's plugins (or are there already have plugins existed) so that we could actually make use of the log file to check for status of each and every services in different hosts, instead of looking through the log file manually which can be very time-consuming if the list is very long.
I am currently using a command like this to remove blank lines and lines which contain (not necessarily begin) with a #. Is there a better/simpler command?
cat /etc/apache2/default-server.conf | sed /^$/d | grep -v '#'
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Netbook).I need to associate ram file extension to realplayer. First time I opened a ram file I choosed the default player, Reproductor de peliculas (I think Movie player in english).Now when I choose Open with Realplayer and remember the application for this extension it opens the archive but it does not remember for the next times. It seems to be a little bug. How can I do it manually? Where is the association config file for file extensions?
New install of FC12 and after logging into the KDE desktop then going back to Gnome, the Desktop Config File for KDE shows on the Gnome desktop. I ran gconf-editor and I can see the file but no option to not display in Nautilus. Is there an easy way to not display the file on the Gnome desktop without messing up the KDE config file?
I've downloaded a game, thats a rar file, but when I try open it with archive manager it says Archive type not supported. What do I need to open / extract the files?
I tried to install DrRacket on my computer, and it's an .sh file. Do any of you know how to go about doing this? I tried Gedit, and it couldn't detect the character encoding.
I downloaded the crystalHD linux driver for the broadcom accelerator chip for my HP mini, cause I'm fly like that, and its in a tbz2 file, but whenever I try to extract the file so I can build the driver, I get this error.bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.tar: Child returned status 2tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Firefox opens file listing instead of Nautilus opening file listing.When I access a folder via "Places" -> "Home Folder" or "Places" -> "Downloads", Firefox opens and list the contents of the directory.I have re-installed Nautilus, un-installed Firefox and then going to "Places" -> "Home Folder" or "Places" -> "Downloads" launches Nautilus and I can view the contents normally. Anybody else had this problem with Firefox ? Anybody know how to fix this Firefox problem ?Running Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 64bit.
