I have configured /etc/syslog.conf for writing user level log messages, and it is working fine.
The line which i entered is: user.* /home/shekhar/obj/myjob.log
But the log file keeps increasing. I would like to rotate the log file when it reaches 100Kb.
How do i do that in red hat linux ?
I am running a dual monitor setup, and prefer to have my secondary monitor rotated 90 degrees. I am able to do this in Gnome using preferences, and am wondering how to accomplish the same in XFCE.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have fedora 10 and I rotated my display upside down using Display settings (I don't know if it is the same thing as system-config-display, I had an icon called Display settings on my panel). It didn't work, my screen became black and now I can't change it back. Can I somehow change it back using terminal only? There's no rotation set in my xorg.conf file, I tried to set different rotation in xorg.conf, but it had no effect.

My screen display driver is Intel . I think can write something into /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make it,or write into KDE's init script /usr/bin/startkde ( if there is a command like"rotate 90",then I can write it here).

I have a Linux program which can write information to stdout and stderr.
I have a shell script which redirects that output to a file in /var/log. (Via >> and 2>&1.)
Is there a way to make that log file rotate? (max size, then switch to a different file, keep only a limited number of files)
I've seen a few answers which talk about the logrotate program, which sounds good, but they also seem to be focused on programs which are generating log files internally and handle HUP signals. Is there a way to make this work with a basic output redirection script?
I'm having trouble getting my pix firewall to log to syslog server. Here are the steps I took:
1) Added the following line to /etc/sysconfig/syslog:
SYSLOG_OPTIONS "-m 0 -r514"
**for some reason, without the 514, syslog doesn't listen
[code]....
Currently Im having a syslog server that consolidate firewall logs on port 514 udp. Im also having a IDS device that I wish to push its logs to this particular syslog server so that I can retrieve my IDS logs on this server as well.
Is it possible to do so?Having syslog listening on port 514 for both firewall and IDS logs? If it is possible will the logs be recorded in a single log file?Or will it be recorded in a separate log file ie. firewall.log, IDS.log etc?? I wish to have them in separate individual log files or else there will be hard time segregating the log entries in a single file. Can anyone advice on how to achieve this??

I have up graded to natty 11.04 and am trying to get magick rotation 1.4 working on my hp tx2000 model 2130ea.I have spent a lot of time reading the forums and trying stuff including breaking natty a few times and had ton do a reinstall. Anyway I am not to sure what I am doing wrong missing a script or something I have tried a few different ways to try and rotate screen at the moment I have magick rotation installed and the only thing I can do with it is turn on/off touch and if I move the courser over the green arrow icon a drop down box appears saying its loading. I did turn on the bug report and this is what it says I attached the log.

version: Jessie
using xorg file: no
After changing my video cards from gigabyte HD5450 and saphire X550 to two saphire r7 240s one of my debian installs no longer supports rotating the monitors either with 'Monitor Settings' or xrandr. The only difference between these 2 Jessie installs is that one was upgraded and the other one was fresh. The problem is with the upgraded one. On the fresh installed debian I just put the ati proprietary driver so I won't do further testing on it but xrandr was working fine on it before that.
I tried going over the ATIHowTo [URL] .... and everything looks good. Tried purging the non free firmware and reinstalling. I verified the version numbers of libxrandr2 and kernel of both installs. It is either some scrap left over from wheezy or a configuration file I am not aware of.
So what actually happens is xrandr does not say anything, blanks out all windows on the screen with only their background color and title bar showing, changes the lxpanel to its background pattern except for 2 blanked out boxes almost to the right of the screen( I have 10 tray icons there before it blanks), activates the screen I wanted to rotate with the proper rotation. On my main screen I can't click on anything. On the rotated screen I can right click and I get my openbox right click menu like I do on my main monitor before the command but when I try to run something nothing happens. The only way I can get out of this situation is to go to ctrl-alt-f1, log in as root and type 'service lightdm restart'.
Both of these monitors are connected to the primary video card, an ati r7 240 saphire. The main one is on vga and the other one is on DVI. I also have another monitor connected to HDMI but it's not being used. I have yet another monitor connected to the VGA of the secondary GPU I don't think it's a problem is it? I tried not using 'xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0' and it still did the same thing.
I tried just launching openbox with no LXDE and it did the same thing.
Also another strange thing is when I stop the lightdm service and try to 'startx' or 'xinit' my screens go blank; numlock, control-alt-delete and control-alt-f1 do nothing and the only thing I can do is an emergency REISUB. I didn't configure this install to use startx or xinit yet but should it really lock up my system?
On the affected system my script looks like this (I already did this step by step and the 'rotate left' line is causing the problem):
Code: Select allxrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
--output DVI-0 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x1050 --rotate left
--output HDMI-0 --off
--output VGA-1-1 --off
lxpanelctl restart

I just replaced my older monitor with a slightly newer, much nicer Dell 1905FP. I need to have it rotated, but I have no clue how to rotate it. I have seen several xorg.conf modifications that are supposed to work for some of the nvidia drivers, but nothing for the generic radeon driver. The radio buttons in SaX2 are grayed out as well. How do I set up X11 to rotate my display? Preferably without installing the other ATi driver, as I have tried before to switch to that one, and have been unsucessfull.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have recently done a clean install of Lucid Lynx and set everything up the way I had it in Jaunty (skipped Karmic). However, I am now having problems with the Compiz Cube and Firefox 3.6.
Whenever I rotate my workspace that contains a Firefox window that is active, the animation is very jerky and slow. It is fine if Firefox is a background window. This was never a problem in Jaunty with Firefox 3.0.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how I might be able to fix it? I have tried disabling all addons in Firefox.

UPDATE: starting Firefox in Safe Mode seems to help a little. Not sure why though...
I have a slight problem with setting of a stylus in my Tecra m7. It works fine when screen is in default position, but when I rotate the screen to vertical (left/CCW) touchpad and stylus input does not change so when I move it up it it goes right ^^'
xinput goes like this:
Code:
I already tried few .sh's from this forum archives but it didn't seem to work. I disabled driver for graphic card, because recommended version showed only violet screen when starting system and older version does not support rotation. I use Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome.
I am running Kubuntu 10.10 x64, using a Wacom Bamboo (CTH-460), I installed it by compiling the driver and moving the file as in every tutorial I could find in the Internet. The pen works perfectly, except by the fact I use TwinView and the tablet uses all the width, too sensitive. but this is something I plan to fix later... (pressure is OK)
the problem is the touch.. It almost works, right click, zoom and scroll support is ok, I believe there is no support to rotation but I can live without it... The problem is the cursor movement, seems to be a sensitivity issue. If I move very slow there is no problem, but if i move a little faster the cursor stops as if I had removed the finger from the sensor. When I try to scroll or zoom I have a similar problem, it moves an inch before it start to scroll as if it wasn't sensing the second finger, but right click is perfect so I don't think this is the problem.
Would this be a bug? Is there a way to calibrate the touch sensor? I remember editing the xorg.conf to make the touch fit the screen size in a HP Tx2510us, and to make two finger scroll on to touch pad but it was in 8.10 I believe, I cant find something like it for this problem. wacomcpl cant see the device, xsetwacom list returns nothing... xinput list returns this:
