Plus, it would return immidiate find results.

If I tell my ssh-agent about a private encrypted key via "ssh-add .ssh/mykey" then everything works fine.
But if I log out and then log back in it's not there and there is no Gnome prompt to ask for the password to decrypt. So I have to do an "ssh-add" everytime I log in.
I've just installed 10.04 x64 and I've had some problems with samba (cifs/windows file sharing). It seems like samba is forgetting user passwords, so on every reboot I have to add a password for the user that needs access: sudo smbpasswd -a tietze
I've tried restarting samba (sudo service sbmd restart), but it does not work. I have to add a new password for the user with the command above.
I tried to google a bit for a solution, but only found the following thread with a problem that seems related: [other] Samba forgets user
making samba remember passwords betweeen reboots/shutdowns?
This occurred sometime in the past couple of days, perhaps because of an update that I just blindly accepted or due to some tinkering of my own. But for some reason, my gksudo never remembers the password I put in there anymore. When I sudo in a terminal it remembers no problem, and my sudo-via-terminal also responds to the "timestamp_timeout=x" variable in /etc/sudoers as it should. But does gksudo have it's own "/etc/sudoers" file where you can override the caching period for the password or does it reference the regular /etc/sudoers also?

I'm familiar with Mac OS X where you could "Physically" adjust to the top, left, right or originally at the bottom. Is it possible and if it is, can someone explain to me the process on going about that?

I use Kubuntu 9.10. All packages are up-to-date. The problem: When opening a new window in firefox, the new window forgets the toolbar settings. So when I start firefox and the first window shows up, it shows my toolbar settings correctly, which is pretty minimalistic actually (no buttons, bookmark menu, google searchbar, etc.). But when I then open a new window from the original one, the new window has forgotten my toolbar settings and shows all the buttons, the searchbar, etc..
This happens irrespective from if I hit Ctrl+N, or print firefox after hitting Alt+F2 (which just opens a second window since the firefox process is already running). What can I do? I read in some other post that you should delete some settings file that might have gone corrupt, but I have done this and it did not help.
I lastly used KDE (version 1.x ). Now I'm using KDE 3.5 for several weeks and one thing really annoys me: there are a lot of programs that don't remember their last window position and/or size. They always default to a specific location/size when I close and open them again. I give you some examples:
Program that doesn't remember anything:
- Konqueror
Program that remembers window size, but not position:
- KMail
Nice Program that remembers everything:
- Basket Note Pads
Is there a way to tell these programs to remember their position/size?And a second question about konqueror: Can I tell konqueror to remember the view mode? I prefer MultiColumn view, but it always defaults to Icon view.
What is the vim command I have to use when I want to perform a text substitution not on the current line or on the whole document or on lines from number x to number y but just from the current cursor position down to the end (or up to the beginning) of the document?

I am using ubuntu. I have Cairo clock on my startup list, but after logging in cairo-clock appears on left top corner, but as it is the position reserved for computer, my home, mounted volumes etc. So I want to change default position of cairo-clock to left but there is no such option in the preferences of cairo-clock. My cairo-clock version is cairo-clock 0.3.4. Can I edit any config file of cairo-clock.

When I restart the VM it forgets all my preferences or other settings (keyboard(using azerty here), firefox bookmarks, even the desktop beackground) are reset. This happens with the root user and the default centos user. Is there something I'm looking over or is there something I can do about that problem?

I'm using the gentoo linux based SystemRescueCD, so I got plenty of tools installed which might get that information for me.
In my CentOS configuration, when I use vim6.3 to edit a file, then close it, and re-open it, my cursor starts out at the line where I last left off. In my cygwin (on Windows) configuration, when I use vim7.3, I don't get this behavior. The viminfo does exist and does seem to get read (because if I type '0 it will go to my last cursor location - but that is globally and could change the file being edited). I've also looked at the .viminfo file and see it getting updated as expected. In my .vimrc file, I have this:
Quote: set viminfo='100,<50,f1,"500,/100,:100
Note that on the CentOS side if I open foo, then I open bar, then I open foo again, my cursor is in the right place for foo, whereas on cygwin if I do this, my cursor would be at the 1st line of foo.. If I were to type '0, it would actually switch to editing bar and put the cursor where I last left off. Anyhow, this all boils down to asking how I get my cygwin vim to act like my CentOS vim.
Everytime I change my screen brightness from screen settings, the new brightness level stays for the current session only and then gets reset back to 100% every time i reboot my pc... What am i doing wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 12 with KDE4 and when I logged in to my KDE desktop for the first time, the screen resolution was 2048x1536, which was unusable for me. Therefore I set the screen resolution to 1280x1024 through the System Settings > Display in KDE4. However, whenever I log out and back in, the resolution falls back to 2048x1536. When I go to System Settings > Display to set it right, as soon as I click the Display button in System Settings, before changing any resolution, the screen falls back to the 1280x1024 setting
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two machines running Debian Squeeze (a laptop and a desktop). On my laptop sudo works fine, however on my desktop sudo doesn't remember my password for 1 second!!! I have created a script for the upgrade procedure with apt (to make things easier). The script is nothing more than a few commands separated by operators. It is completely useless if I have to enter my password six times while my script is running.
I tried to add timestamp_timeout=15 to the sudoers but it didn't help.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be?
I have just installed 11.2 i686 on two machines, one virtual and one physical. Both have been set to start in runlevel 3. For some reason it seems that my installations have missed some step in the process, because the system cannot find several rather important commands, eg. init and ifconfig.this is what I get if I try to run ifconfig:
Code:

Installed OpenSUSE 11.4 with XFCE on MSI Wind U90. Unfortunately my RTL8187se buit-in wi-fi doesn't work.Finally found that driver r8180 works. After YAST2 configuration it worked, but after reboot stopped working. I've found that YAST2 forgets my manual configuration of the wifi card (forgets all settings).I've tried to remove card from YAST2 and configure again from scratch, but it forgets all my settings - mainly the module name - r8180, and without this driver network doesn't work!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a PostgreSQL administrator. We have a few sites (maybe 30? 40?) that use MySQL as a backend, but nothing like the thousands of sites that run PostgreSQL. As you can imagine, my knowledge of PostgreSQL has grown much faster than my knowledge of MySQL. The problem, then, is very likely to be PEBKAC. This past weekend we had an upstream transformer incident that managed to take out an enterprise APC, causing this particular server to reboot. The server environment is a bit wanky (I didn't set it up this way), with both PostgreSQL and MySQL running together on a Debian "Etch" box, with PostgreSQL taking up the lion's share of resources (it has 200+ databases vs. MySQL's 10 or so). Both PostgreSQL and MySQL came up after the reboot, but now MySQL is acting "funny".
Initially after the reboot, sites were getting "Could not connect to MySQL." I went in and looked at the user and db tables and fixed the permissions, ran flush permissions, and all sites came up. Happy DBA. Over the remaining weekend and this morning, we're seeing a repeated issue where sites get "Could not connect to MySQL", and it affects sites independently of each other (site "A" is fine, site "B" gets "could not connect to mysql"). I checked the max_connections and max_user_connections and noticed that they were a bit lower than I'd like, so I bumped them up (now set to: 1000 max_connections, 800 max_user_connections) and ran flush permissions again. All is well once more.
Then it happened again. Granted, it's not nearly as frequent as it was Saturday, but it still occurs. This is becoming problematic (and, as you can imagine, quite a headache). I'm the only DBA in my company, so *ANY* ticket that has the word "database" in it, regardless if it's PostgreSQL/MySQL/MSSQL/DB2/Oracle/etc... find their way to me...and this one has me a bit stumped. Every time it occurs, I can run "flush permissions" and everything works again. I've considered the short-term fix of creating a cronjob, but that's quite a hack and I'd rather just fix the cause rather than treat the symptom.
Edit - a bit more background on this particular server: I had it running PostgreSQL 8.3.5, then went on vacation. When I returned, it was running PostgreSQL 8.4beta1 (it's a production box! /me cries) and now PostgreSQL has all kinds of library version mismatch issues and what-not. I scolded the IT tech who gave dev root on this box, revoked all dev permissions, and I've been busy building a replacement machine to move all of the PostgreSQL databases to, but due to some purchasing delays the replacement box isn't ready yet. It's entirely possible that MySQL has similar issues, though I've not witnessed anything of the sort (yet).
I have a jsp code. After executing that code, a Java program should be executed without refreshing the page. that is, my first page is a login page which is in jsp. After logging in the next page must be displayed which is a Java code. is that possible? Can we use applet for that?
