View 1 RepliesI am looking to setup some computers as thinclients to connect to my MS Terminal Servers. We have a homebrew application that configures RDP sessions. A user logs into a webpage that dynamically generates a "launch.rdp" file. This file is generated to balance the load between servers.What I'd like to do is configure an image to boot up into Mozilla. When the user goes to the webpage, I'd like the launch.rdp file to open up in a terminal server session.I've tried with rdesktop and tsclient, but unfortunately neither would work with a "rdp" file.

Being lazy with ubuntu seems to have been badong. Ok, I had 2 physical machines and 3 vms. VM's ran under Vbox-ose via a bridge. OS's are buntu x2 and one centOS box. I installed webmin to make things easy ( i thought ).However, after setting webmin, my I have been randomly loosing PATH's. I mean, one minuet i can run sudo apt-get and the next the whole PATH is gone. I tried a compare of my "home" box's bashrc and bash_profile against the other machins, and outside of some alias for colr and the like nothing seems to stand out. Even if I su - to root I am not getting access to the needed paths. Now, while I could export the correct path, I am more conserned with the why of it all.
I would have thought that as long as my group setting on my ssh users were all correct AND the environment had not been changed, all would be good. I can provide more info if someone wants to help me out with this. HOwever, it drove me to a six pack. 8SI have read the man pages. I have used google. I have checked the logs. The logs by the way showed a lil hammering on one of the boxes for root access. [I]t wasnt me. However, I dont seem to be able to see a time stamp.
I installed the new Frugalware 1.2 via USB and that went well. I wanted an LXDE menu, as I don't like the "style" of the KDE menus, and the KDE menus seem slow, too.
The problem is that after installing LXDE, I have the LXDE menu from what I'd call the start button, which I like, but the KDE menu is now covering the entire screen on all desktops, and there seems no way to minimize it. I doubt I'll have to use it often, but don't want to lose all access to the programs on it. I haven't checked to see if all the programs are on the LXDE menu, but I noticed that Gfpm (the package manager) is now missing from the menu. Not sure if anything else has disappeared.
n Is there a way to minimize or hide the KDE menu?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the ReadyNAS Duo, a RAID resync synchronizes the entire contents of one disk to another. It's a slow operation. So it's not something to be done lightly. By default, it is done whenever the unit is shut down uncleanly (generally the result of a hang or power interruption). It's something that can be disabled, though, such that a resync would be done only when manually requested. The authors of the software RAID driver in Linux (called "md") came up with a nice solution to the problem of slow RAID resyncs: the md driver allows you to assign a write intent bitmap to an md device, and where it's stored is configurable (the default is to store it on the md device in question, in the superblock). So when the array goes down unexpectedly (e.g., in a power outage), only the blocks that the md device was going to write will actually be resynced.
It's sort of like a journal for the md device itself. Now, the ReadyNAS Duo doesn't seem to use Linux md at all for implementing the RAID volume, but it does have an option to disable automatic resync in the event of an improper shutdown. And that leads to my question: how necessary is it to do a resync in such an event? If the Duo uses the same method as the Linux md driver, then obviously such a resync would rarely be necessary. But if it doesn't, then it would be the equivalent of using the md driver without a write-intent bitmap, and a resync would almost certainly be necessary in the event of an improper shutdown. Does the Duo (and maybe other units) use the equivalent of a write intent bitmap for RAID write operations?
Wath should be the bandwidthd needed for a home dedicated server so i can run several sites on it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how to make my terminal emulator dynamically transparent ( see through to the action below that window - Browser, video et cettera and not just the default wallpaper) . I figured out how to make transparent but not "dynamic". I have seen people mentioned you need to enable compositing but I am unsure how to do that in Gnome.

I'm was wondering if there is such a feature in webmin (or perhaps any other webgui) that would solve the following problem:
I need a few people to disable/enable users in a specific group, any only in that group.
Ex: Employee A logs in to webmin to enable an user account for employee B that is a member of the group "disabled by default".
Employee A are not able to disable/enable any accounts outside the "disabled by default"-group.
Would that be possible in webmin or any other webgui?

How to disable the power management in fedora 12, so that lcd/monitor should not go to sleep/off when system is idle?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn a couple of Linux laptops I have the built in screen never turns off it's backlight, regardless if a 'black screen' sort of screen saver is activated (this both for a laptop running an X-based desktop as well as for a laptop only having a text console) or if I even close the lid of the laptop (looking carefully in the dark, I can tell that the screen still has the backlight on, even if the laptop "know" it is closed).
This is a bad thing for a couple of reasons:
It wastes power
It generates heat which when the laptop lid is closed increases the cooling need (the fan goes on more often etc).
Backlights have limited lifetime like all electric components and IIRC, the less a backlight is turned on, the longer it will last. So, what is the best approach (considering a Gentoo with a 2.6.36 kernel) to remedy this? I recon that there probably are two approaches:
One for text-only laptops which never displays a desktop, e.g a laptop sitting there acting like a firewall or server
one for those running a Gnome/KDE/XFCE desktop (and a SLIM or GDM display manager).
The laptops I have in mind is a Dell Latitude CPi (built 1999, yes, it is from another millenea), a Compaq Armada M700 (built 2001) and a Dell Latitude D630. If this can be accomplished only by configuring things in the Linux OS (be it kernel setup or editing config files) without touching anything in BIOS, that would of course be preferable.
I'm curious how file association management is implemented in Linux. Where is the related information stored? How do I modify it (I'm interested in non-KDE-based ways; I know there's a system configuration page for that in KDE)?

View 7 Replies View RelatedCan anyone suggest a product that will allow a developer to raise a ticket (or similar sort of trackable item) which can be used to track the progress of a software build through a number of environments?Basically It's just a case of creating a ticket, using that to trigger a software build, then requiring some form of sign off to allow a second stage, and then another sign off for a third. It's not about building things, just tracking an issue through various stages of testing through to production.
I'm looking at replacing an environment which currently uses jira for this purpose, but I've no knowledge of it, and am keen on other GPL tools instead. Jira is, as a product, massively overkill for what is required too. So I'm keen on one which might fit in with the rest of my toolset - cobbler, func, puppet etc. I was looking at trac, which seems like it might have some relevant angles to it, but I really can't tell because having not done this sort of project before I don't honestly know what to call what i'm after. I don't *think* that something like bugzilla would be appropriate as it's too specifically about bug tracking, rather than a generic workflow with signoff stages and such.
