Is there any way to capture the "[OK]" or "[FAILED]" messages? I would like to know which daemons starts successfully and which ones fails. Any way to tell the system to save those messages in /var/log? I could do CTRL-Print Screen but I would rather not.

I have an auditing problem. I am required to be able to track user account modifications (creates, deletes, password changes, etc.) My team and I implemented auditd 1.7.17 and borrowed an existing rule set from /usr/share/doc/audit-1.7.17/nispom.rules. What we're seeing is that user account activity from the command line is retrievable by doing an 'aureport -m'. However, doing the same through the GUI, 'aureport -m' does not display the activity. So I have two questions:1. Is there another location I should be looking to find the user creation activities when using the GUI?2. Is there a way to make the activity using the GUI be captured in /var/log/audit/audit.log so 'aureport -m' can report it?Someone suggested a PAM configuration change, but was not able to tell me what change to make.

I am building a live USB key using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. No upgrades have been applied. It is as it came in the ISO that was distributed.I would like to create a smooth start-up/logout process where no messages pop up (even briefly) that might confuse someone who is not very tech savvy. I'm referring to the messages that show up right before the login screen during start-up (between usplash and xsplash I think) that say:
"Starting early crypto disks ..."
and also the messages that show up on a black screen right after you initiate logout. It seems to sometimes show system messages including some error messages that can confuse users.Does anyone know of a way to hide, redirect, or disable these messages? I just don't want cryptic messages popping up even briefly that are going to confuse casual users. I'm stuck with version 9.10 since I've made some custom mods and would rather not redo them for a new release.
I'd like to see all messages given out by my fc12 system. So no graphical interface shows up when I shall type the bootloader-password or log-in with my user.

Is there anyway to tell NetworkManager to not log so many messages to the system log? There appears to be a bazillion <info> messages in the log file (/var/log/messages). It makes it hard to find any potential problem areas...

When the appropriate Strings appear in the log (assuming /var/logs/messages)Then a trap will be sent.

View 4 Replies View Relatedthe thing that tends to draw out their frustrations the most are the error messages.
Things like "x.x not found, such and such can't continue" or "Unable to locate x.x", etc.
Well, of those people as I described above, a lot of them are fiercely independent people and would fix their own problems had they any idea what they were.
So, I had a thought that adding google or LQ.o search terms to the error messages, along with a link to the search feature, would be somewhat beneficial.
Perhaps with messages regarding missing files, then provide a link and message "To correct this issue, copy filename and submit it here -> url and download the package"
So I was wondering where I could find lots and lots of error message code.

I have an older version of ggv on RHEL for viewing PostScript (.ps) files, but the binary I have refuses to open files from AFS. ggv-2.12.0 is able to open these files from AFS just fine on my Mac.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've made a simple php wrapper around scp. It works fine, but unlike when I run the scp command straight from the console, there is no output returned. I've tried using passthru(), exec(), system() and shell_exec(), all to no avail. I'm redirecting stderr to stdout already.
For example:
PHP Code:
<?php
$command = "scp -C -r $files $target 2>&1";
exec($command, $result);
print_r($result);
?>
Will scp the files correctly to the server, but doesn't print any output - $result is just an empty array. I'd like to see the output so I can visually confirm that the files have been transferred correctly.

I can't seem to figure out the secret to send ctrl-alt-del to a remote Windows box using KRDC 4.4.4. Tried in windowed and full screen mode - no difference. Tried enabling "Grab All Possible Keys" in KRDC tool bar - nope. In all cases, ctrl-alt-del and alt-tab are sent to localhost. There are some mentions of a "config special keys dialog" for KDRC in a few places, though I don't actually find this anywhere in KRDC itself. Documentation for KRDC at the KDE site is very minimalistic. This should be super simple, but I can't quit seem to get it.

I tried to post this then couldn't find it anywhere, so I will try again. I am wondering if there is a way to determine what file system type was put on a volume when the file system was made? I have a MD0 device that wouldn't mount. I was receiving "wrong file system type" messages.
I tried df but this only works with mounted file systems correct? I am looking for a command to run on a drive/volume that is not mounted so I can figure out what file system is on it.
This time I was able to: mount /dev/md0 /mnt/storage without and entry in the fstab file. I then just entered mount and it displayed the file system as jfs.
Is there another way to determine the file system type?
I never upgrade from one release to the other but rather do a completely new install. How can I keep my Gnome settings from the current release and somehow impose them after a new install.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAccording to 'man luvcview', if I do this:
Code:

then luvcview should capture the video to the .avi file. However, when I try it, no output file is created. Grabbing a raw stream or raw frames works fine, but not the creation of AVI files. Am I missing something?
