I would like to run a few custom commands when booting: "xinput" to calibrate the touchscreen and a couple of "setkeycodes" to make special buttons responsive.
From within a session I need to do "sudo setkeycodes [etc]" - without root access there's a "couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" error message.
Ideally these commands would already be operational at the login screen, and without requiring entering a root password every time.
I've put the commands in an otherwise empty /etc/rc.local but this does nothing. Other posts mention bootscript.sh but I don't get how this is used; and the best way to do this seems to have changed between versions - so what's the proper Lucid way?
While typing commands it takes more time to type.let me know on how to correct this

When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust making one last tweak with my fresh install of F12KDE. I need to . How do I do this
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.

I've added lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, /etc/rc.local, I've put scripts (with extension .sh) into /etc/init.d/ and I've set the executable permission thing on all of them with chmod -x.

I am running RHEL release 4 (Nahant Update 6). I currently have a fax server that has been encountering issues recently after hours. My boss would like our helpdesk to monitor the status of these modems throughout their shift. This has led to a request for a helpdesk account to be created on our linux box that only has access to a few commands. Is there a way to limit the new user to only have access to the following commands?
cd
less
cat
Additionally I would like to create a script for them to run that would chmod our modems when necessary since their permissions reset after a power cycle. BUT not give them access to the chmod command, just chmod through that script for those specific devices.
I am trying to run some simulations through SSH from my mac on our university SOLARIS system. My problem is that whenever I want to execute a command I get an error which says "Invalid argument". Maybe I should explain more what I want to do and what I did.Firstly I installed a software which I need to run, I did it through ThinLink, and it seems that it is running fine without a problems. I can execute all commands and scripts. Installed software contains tens of small programs. I have compiled it and assign the PATH to be able to use the software. This was still via ThinLink. Then I wanted to start to use SSH since it should be more secure and also faster for me. When I wanted to do same think as in ThinLink I got the message Invalid argument. For example I run a command which use program gensky. I wrote:
Code: gray1(dava) $ gensky 4 4 4
I got:
Code: -bash: ............/Radiance_install/bin/gensky: Invalid argument (i replaced the path to my home directory by dots) The PATH to the program seams correct but it does not run correctly. With SSH I can log into the remote machine and see all the files which I have on the disk as well as to run standard commands like mkdir etc. But I cannot run the programs which I installed.
what is the command for:
locking the screen
creating a new folder
log out
on the shell?

2) Use the umask command to change your file creation mask such that,by default for new files and directories you create, no permissions are taken away from the 'user' (owner), write permissions are taken away from the 'group' (group owner), and all permissions (read, write and execute) are taken away from 'other'. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
3) Use the touch command to create a new file called testfile. Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
4) Use the chown command to change the user associated with testfile (the owner) to cint201. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
5) Use the chgrp command to change the the group associated with testfile (the group owner) to users. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
6) Use the chmod command to change the permissions for testfile such that the 'user' (owner) permissions are set to read, write and execute, the 'group' (group owner) permission are set to read and execute, the 'other' permissions are set to grant neither read, write nor execute, and finally set the SUID bit for the file. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
7) Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
I'm having issues with mt commands. For some reason, my server doesn't like backing up directories using tar.
Code:
# tar -czf /dev/st0 /www /home
ends up giving me an error message saying "removing / prefix" and then using the command
Code:
# mt -f /dev/st0 status
gives me an IOCTRL error. I've googled the error code and haven't come up with a viable fix. Thus far, the only way I've been able to check which files are on the tape is:
Code:
# tar -tzf /dev/st0
Of course, without getting the actual directories on the tape in the first place, the only files I've been able to transfer at this point are just singular files within the directories as opposed to the entire directories themselves.
