General :: Start KDE From Command Line (Debian Lenny On IMac)?

Jan 22, 2010

I have a nearly 10 years old iMac at home and installed Lenny on (somehow, I had to thrash Mac OS 9.2 :-P). Everything was successful until now, but on entering "startkde", the screen fills withkpersonalizer: cannot connect to X serverlines. Upon looking at other threads here I tried mdetect, installing X11... but to no avail

Debian Programming :: Automate Command Line At Start-up

Jan 26, 2015

I'm trying to automate two command lines, a synclient and a syndaemon. They both work well if I type them manually in a terminal, but if I do a littre script to do this, tap to click and scrolling don't work anymore.

This is the script I wrote:
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
syndaemon -d -t -K
exit 0

So I made a chmod +x on the file, placed it in ~/bin then change PATH to include the directory. Then I added this file in "Startup applications".

The scripts run ok, mais it has a different effect than if I run the commands manually.

General :: Start GUI Programs From The Command Line?

Aug 18, 2010

In Windows, if I have a console window open, type winmine, and press enter, Minesweeper will appear, completely separate from the cmd program. The Minesweeper instance is not tied to the command prompt in any way that I know of, with the exception of Minesweeper's parent being set to that instance of the command prompt. It's different in Linux, however.

In Linux, if I have a console window open, type emacs and press enter, Emacs will open, but it seems tied to the command line. Specifically, it appears that I can't use the command line anymore until that instance of Emacs is closed. Is there a way to replicate the Windows behavior in Linux?

General :: Debian Lenny : How To Install Xfce 4.6 Instead Of Lenny's 4.4

Dec 14, 2009

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.

I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.

i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

Ubuntu :: Start Up Graphical Mode From Command Line?

Sep 19, 2010

Is it possible to instruct Ubuntu to start up (GUI) Graphical User Interface mode from (CLI) Command Line Interface mode? In the old days, you can type "win" in DOS to get into Windows - something along that line. Is it possible for Ubuntu in this case?

Yes, you can reboot to switch between the modes, but shouldn't there be a command for this?

Slackware :: Start Compiz And Plugins From Command Line

May 20, 2010

I've been searching for hours now on how to start compiz from command line and configure the plugins. I just want to use the compiz core package in Slackware (no add-ons for now). I've figured out starting compiz

Code:
compiz --replace
and the windows decorator

Code:
gtk-window-decorator --replace
kde-window-decorator --replace
for gtk based or kde respectively. I know how to start the plugins (by putting their names in the compiz command), but not what all of their command line names are.

What I'm looking for is all the console names of the base plugins (and eventually the others too), the order they need to be started in (if any), how to automatically start compiz when X starts, and how to change plugin settings (all without ccsm). How to do the above stuff without the use of a graphical tool.

Debian :: Hda: Drive Not Ready For Command Using HAL On Lenny

Feb 19, 2010

Recently we started getting these errors in syslog:

Code:
[31944.813993] hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[31944.813993] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[31944.813993] hda: drive not ready for command
[31949.822516] hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

[Code]....

Also the machine was under very high load and almost impossible to connect to.

I've searched, and found mostly answers involving broken hard disks or other hardware issues, but this is unlikely to be the case here: it started happening on several machines at the same time. They are HP DL580G5, and hda is the DVD player. It's not being used. The only thing we've recently changed is that we installed HAL (as a dependency of pcscd), and sure enough, killing HAL freed up the cpu and stopped the stream of errors. Sadly, pcscd requires HAL..

Has anyone seen this? Are there known problems with HAL in Lenny on HP hardware? I know I could do hal-disable-polling /dev/hda but I don't want to simply ignore a potential problem.

EDIT: versions used are HAL 0.5.11-8, pcscd 1.4.102-1 and kernel 2.6.26.2-amd64

Ubuntu :: GRUB Command Line Appears On Start Up. YIKES?

Feb 14, 2010

I just booted into Linux and the Update Manager prompted me to restart. After the restart the GRUB interface I expect to see is no longer there and now it is just a command line that says press tab for more options.I have not got a clue with shell language as I have had no time to learn it as of yet. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Linux or is there a command that can be typed that boots up the operating system.Even better is there something I can do that can return me to seeing the interface like I was used to.

Software :: Can't Start / Stop / Restart Samba Via Command Line

Oct 12, 2010

I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,

[code]...

sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Unable To Start Eth1 From The Command Line?

May 28, 2009

I am trying to attach my server to 2 diferent networks, with fixed ip addresses,
eth0 = 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.0.1. This is currently working, and I can ssh o the machine on this address

eth1 = 192.168.150.5 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.150.1

When I try and start eth1 with ifconfig eth1 up, I get the error message "eth1: unknown interface: no such device"

I have configured eth1 using system-config-network-tui and /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 looks correct

GATEWAY=192.168.150.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none

Debian Installation :: Lenny - +Adaptec 3405 - Installs Ok But Doesn't Start

Feb 22, 2010

I'm installing a file server on Lenny (Samba on RAID5, nothing exotic)

First, I installed on a basic SATA drive, to check everything else in the system was recognized correctly. Success.

Then, I added my 3405 Adaptec board, with a 3 drive RAID5, and reinstalled, still on the lone SATA disk.

Install runs ok, shows correctly the 3405 board, detects the logical drive alongside with the SATA drive. Smooth. I install Lenny on the SATA drive, planning to use the RAID5 for later partitioning and data storage. During install, the SATA disk is shown as SCSI-1 and the RAID5 disk as SCSI-2. Again, install completes correctly.

But on reboot and after selecting the default config, the system complains it can't find /dev/sda1!

If I remove the 3405 board, Lenny boots fine.

Is the presence of the Adaptec board and RAID5 drive changing the numbering of the disks, so that the SATA disk is no longer seen as /dev/sda1 ?

Debian Installation :: Upgrade Etch To Lenny: No Version Bump, Auto-start Services?

Feb 24, 2010

On my debian web server I curently have ImageMagick 6.3.7 08/07/09 Q16 since this is an old version of imagemagick i wanted to upgrade my system that still runs etch, and afterwards upgrade imagemagick. I can not see what version the current lenny imagemagick package has, but I assume it is newer then 6.3.7, no?

When i ugraded I found out that my apt-sources used stable rather than etch. So I already had a mix of lenny and etch I suppose. I then had > cat /etc/debian_version 4.0 Before I upgraded I changed my apt sources from stable to etch, updated the package-tools and did a dist-upgrade (for details, I followed these instructions). After restarting I have still 4.0 as debian version. Also uname -r is 2.6.17. How can I do a correct update?.

Also my services were not started (ftp,ssh, apache2), so I asked my hoster to start the ssh service. This morning everything was up again, but it seems like nobody there have had a look at this. How do I absolutely ensure that my ssh service is start at boot. It is a remote webserver, so I need at least this service to be running.
