I just started learning the Linux system and I installed Ubuntu 11.04 as a partition on my IMac. I want to change my authorization in the terminal to su - , but I keep being told authentication failure.
View 4 Replies View Relatedsu doesn't work in terminal. i found one (click), and tried it, but it didn't fix it. Everything else works. Sudo, Software manager, synaptic package manager... I know i'm putting the right password in. Heres a picture, ignore everything except the last 4 lines.
Everything before it was me trying a proposed fix in the thread mentioned above.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

I've tried changing my password as well. I got the same error. Also, "sudo su" works fine. I'm not sure if theres a difference as i'm new to ubuntu....linux in general. Can you explain the difference between sudo and su, and sudo su? Also, can you explain what any commands you need me to do are? that way, i'm not just leaching.i'm trying to do is install Java!

I had a hard disk used entirely for data archiving (no os files in there!) and it just failed, so I opened up the PC case and removed it. The problem is that I had set it to be automounted on startup (specified in /etc/fstab), and now when Fedora is loading it outputs an fsck error "cannot find/locate a superblock in /dev/sdb1" (that is the removed drive) and it throws me to a "maintenance terminal". I tried to remove the /dev/sdb1 entry from /etc/fstab, but the system wouldn't let me save the new file because the filesystem was in read-only mode.

I have a favorite REXX program called fv2. When I was a Windows user I had an icon for fv2 on the Quick Launch bar. Click that icon, and the program ran. Now, as a Linux (Ubuntu) user it is necessary to go through several steps to run fv2.
1) Launch a terminal by clicking on the terminal icon at the top of the screen. What's that area called? The GNOME panel?
2) Enter: ~/Desktop/RexxScripts
3) Enter: regina fv2
I run fv2 several times per day and would really like to have the convenience of a clickable icon.
How can I make terminal applications immune to terminal emulator close, but still able to use all virtual terminal features?
egin{UPDATE}I want my terminal application remain alive and accessible if I accidentally close terminal emulator. This functionality is provided by screen and tmux, but they have issues with colors and they flush screen.Yes,I can run the shell inside screen, but I do not want the shell remain alive unless there is some other program running.
end{UPDATE}I see this must be something like screen, but without VT100 terminal emulation, something which will just apply whatever application does with "terminal proxy"'s terminal (like outputting something to stdout/stderr or using stty to set terminal options) to the terminal this proxy runs in.
// I know about screen and altscreen on, but it makes either this (screen with TERM=screen):
or this (screen with TERM=rxvt-unicode):
while I want this (rxvt-unicode without screen):
I have figured out that everything looks fine if I compile rxvt-unicode with USE=-xterm-color (in fact vim looks like on the second picture even without screen if I add this USE flag) and set TERM=screen-256color, but I do not like this workaround because it actually changes colors and I can't be sure that it will always change them only this way:
Right now when I start a program from a terminal I can't use that terminal instance again until I close the program.
I am a new user of linux, and I want to know if there is a way to execute a program/application from a terminal without blocking the terminal until the program ends.
hello
I tried to find a good subject but it was the best of mine, anyway I'll explain it here.
some time I do some thing like installing a new application in Linux terminal of my office PC but it take a long time and I have to go home during its installation or configuration process that it is not good to cancel it.My current solution is abandoning the process until next day. I wanted to know is there any way to redirect an input and out put of a terminal to another one, if it works I can continue my abandoned process by ssh to my Linux office PC and redirect that terminal to my new remote sshed terminal from my home.
Thank a lot for any help.

First, the details:
Target Machine:
IBM (e)server, xSeries 306
OS: Fedora 4
Boot Order:
1. CD...
2. Removable Media
3. SATA...
USB Drive:
adata 8GB
Process:
I used the prescribed live usb creator for windows to fill the usb drive. Ive attempted to boot from the USB at least 4 times, once from each USB port on the box. No luck.There isnt an option in the BIOS to select the specific boot device. I bring that up because my desktop does have that option, and using the BIOS BOOT MENU, I was able to boot from the USB and bring up the Fedora 14 Installation Menu, no problem.
So, it works on the pc thats on my desk (eMachine w/XP), but the IBM doesnt even recognize it.
i have been running Ubuntu for about 3 days now, finally getting all my files moved back to the drive and what have you.I came from running windows, and an Android phone with full su access, and done up all custom-like..I am loving the speed, etc. great experience so far. BUT: the headphone port on my laptop is broken, and so I run [ran] and external soundcard, a Creative X-fi 5.1 USB SC. I have found linux drivers for this unit, and am trying to install. I have googled the crap out of how to do this, yet am getting stuck.
Here is where I'm getting stuck. I have extracted the package, entered into the sub folder, and am trying to run the Make install:
...laptop:/tmp/xfi-0.0.0.0$ cd ./xfi
...laptop:/tmp/xfi-0.0.0.0/xfi$ su -c "make install"
Password:
su: Authentication failure
...laptop:/tmp/xfi-0.0.0.0/xfi$
what in heck do i type at password... have I NOT done something, am I doing something wrong.... it does not accept my normal password, so I am lost.
Have Ubuntu 10.10 and have ASUS USB-N13 to connect to my Cisco Valet Plus. I have downloaded .inf files and have the adapter blinking and the wireless network recognized by Ubuntu with strong signal, but as soon as I get message 'connection established' and I try to open Firefox I get error message 'Server not found'. I have used WIcd Network manager and WiFi Radar, but still unable to connect.

.After trying to instal 10.40 as a "guest" of Windows7 in its own partition on drive D I got all the way thru then re-booted to finish the install as requested. At that point after reboot I selected Ubuntu from the boot menu then it hung up after quickly displaying and overwriting some option numbers - probably for GRUB
I uninstalled 10.40 then tried Ubuntu 9.4. It worked better and gave me an option menu after the install reboot. If I chose "normal" it also hung up.I was succesful by chosing one of the other GRUB choices that it gave me.Now everything works but with an older version.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 on a 500gb WD hdd and a second WD 500gb as my music drive. The bios sees the drive with my music but I cannot access the drive at all after booting up, i.e. I can't see the drive at all. I searched on here awhile and looked at the "similar threads" link but didn't find anything that seemed to answer this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs part of our back up strategy we back up data to two external strorage devices (NAS buffalo linkstation) via a cron job. Recently I noticed that the linkstation backups were not working and the server (via the terminal) complained about CIFS write error or something along these lines. I decided to reboot the server and this fixed the problem for one week for one of the linkstations and for a few weeks for the other linkstation.
There are no error messages this time on the server or on any of the logs that I have checked but the backups are not being made and the processes are still running for the days that backups have not been made.
the backups used to work everyday without fail until recently and no changes have been made to the script that does the backup..
