I am trying to edit /etc/inittab so that I can make run level 3 as my default runlevel but whenever I try to edit it, it opens in read only mode. I am logging in as root still not be able to edit the file. It still shows read only. Also tried chown/chmod to change the file permission but it won't let me change anything related to inittab. Also checked the /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if the file system is mounting as ro. Also tried with rw but didn't work.
hello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source. Thank you in advance for the help.
How do you change the default runlevel in Ubuntu 10.10? I need a solution that I can execute by editing text files; right now I'm accessing the Ubuntu filesystem by mounting it to another OS on a different hard drive.
The long and the short of it is that I'm getting a blank screen at login time. I suspect it's a driver issue (I have an Nvidia card) and it shouldn't be hard to fix... but I need a console. And no, I can't get in via Grub... my main OS is Slackware and Lilo is controlling the bootloader. So I need to be able to change the runlevel, and thus far a Google search has proved unenlightening.
runlevels 2 -5 are identical in Ubuntu. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is used instead of /etc/inittab for changing the runlevel. But there's no point doing that since the runlevels are identical. The default runlevel is 2, so I tried to find some service I could disable in /etc/rc2.d. I didn't find anything I could work with.
If I set the level for headphone via Yast/Sound at 50% it is back to 100% after a reboot what gives Pulse-Audio vs. alsa ?I'm running a Dell latitude D830 and the card is 82801 H (ICH8 family) and the driver is snd-hda-intel.
I need to change the default zoom level for Evince. There must be some way to do this. Besides, can Evince start without any PDF file loaded? Also, what is the command line to execute evince? (I run Linux Mint 8 based on Koala 9.10). Whenever it loads a file for which it assigns a zoom level more than 175% or 200%, the whole PC hangs if I click on the "reduce zoom" icon in the toolbar. This is a very big regression.
This is ridiculous! Even ePDFViewer is better than this. I really would like to stay with Evince for the time being, and not need to move to Foxit.
in Kmail 2.0.89 and the 2 or 3 versions before that, I have been lost theability to make a new subfolder under the category "KMail_Folders". I canonly make sub-subfolder under any existent one.The Add Folder entry in the menu is greyed when I am in the KMail Folders level.Is that a bug or a feature? (I hope is not the latter...)
in maverick the default package installer (when I double click on a .deb) is Ubuntu Software Centre, how can I make the default package installer from lucid (was it called "dpkg"?) the default again? Ubuntu Software Centre is too slow and freezes every time I click on something, can it be replaced?
I recently updated from OS 11.2 to OS 11.3 and right after that had problems with my X.org server.If started with normal settings X crashes in runlevel 5, so right at the end of the boot process.If started with x11debug option X works, However I cannot use wine with this option.I don't even have an idea how to look for the problem, but there must be some feature that causes X to crash, which is not included in the debug-mode.
I just updated my box to 11.3. And now when it starts, it goes to runlevel 3 which means the X server is not working. I'm using Radeon HD 4670. How do I configure X from runlevel 3?
I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.
I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.
Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.
Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.
Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.
I want to install a software called TinyOS which is an operating system designed for wireless sensor embedded networks in my account. The problem is it has instructions to install the software as an administrator since i'm not an admin of the department network i can not able to install. Is there any method to install this software as an user level rather than admin level.

you can find a cutout of an output generated by "iwlist s" command for a cell. Does anybody know what Quality, Signal level and Noise level mean? What is the definition of them? I searched for it and could not find good information on it. What do these Extra:*** fields for? What does it show in the example above? How were those values computed?
I am running F10 x86_64 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3400. I installed the drivers and it worked just fine. No errors generated according to Nvidia log files. However, while in run level 5 when I try to switch to run level 3 by typing "telinit 3" or "init 3" the X server goes down and I get a blank screen. Same thing happens when I try to switch to a different tty session by <ctrl>+<alt>+F2 (or any F key for that matter). I also noticed that when I shut down my system I can't see any more the screen where services are shutting down and their status ([OK] or [failed]).
Hey Guys, I'am new here and request your help on this: After installing emacs and a few dependencies on my RHEL 5, on restarting the system, the keyboard was not able to work. I restarted several times in vein.
However, when I start in single mode, it works perfectly. I have tried looking for a solution from google, but in vein.
I currently store my backup files onto 2 HDDs that I have in external USB enclosures, one is 1.5TB and the other is 2TB. They both basically mirror each other, but is done by manually copying files onto one and then the other. My goal is to have a Raid level 5 system and I know that level of Raid is a minimum of 3 disks so I'm wondering what my current options are with Raid level 5 in mind.
I can immediately wipe out one of the two drives I currently have with the second requiring some time to offload data from if it is not possible to proceed with Raid unless I have this second disk free. So my situation is this. Is it possible to do something right now with two disks and then convert to Raid level 5 later once I have a third disk without starting from scratch?
I have a directory that has a another directory inside it. The top directory is rather redundant since it only contains the one other one. Is there a way to delete the top level directory and have the contents simply "move up a level"?
I played the apprentice sorcerer trying to install mysql workbench by my own and I messed up the system 11.1 by removing accidentally some libraries and decided to jump on 11.4 by using the update feature from the DVD. It worked all good (it seems at least: I didn't lost any datas and all my servers are running ok) but there is no more X11 server (kde) running for the run level 5.
I checked the inittab file and it is set to 5. I can log on root account and now I'm searching how to install kde on this new 11.4 system. I didn't yet tried the failsafe option at boot. Is there a way to set up kde from the internet, my wifi connection is ok ? I saw that yast was not installed nore zypper nore yum. Do I first try another update to fix it (if possible) from DVD?
It's possible to configure a second level zone like this: IN CNAME www.domain2.ext For example, if I want: host domain1.ext -> CNAME of www.domain2.ext? and NOT only www.domain1.ext -> CNAME of www.domain2.ext?
As per our requirement, I need to implement a Secure FTP server for around 500 users which includes security level on both - Transfer and Rest data. Apart from this I also need the following features -
1. Size quota on Users & reminder mails for the same 2. Password expiry notifications and user interface to change their password within specified time interval 3. Aging of data - After specified time, data will be moved to some other location from their home directory 4. All type of log maintenace for each file and user and log exporting 5. Uploading & Downloading speed consistency as per server level. 6. Read-write interface for user and read-only interface for their client for the same account. 7. Backup and Recovery options.
As of now, I am using VSFTPD which does not give these much of features in combine.
A friend of mine is starting a school this school has computers. I'm assuming windows but that's not that point at the moment. He asked me about setting a main unit that held the kids info and their work complete on the computer. Effectivley what I am asking is how do I set up a server to allow many multiple (at least 50 user at a time) each with their own folder as their home (or desktop I guess is a better word). He also wants a person to be able to add themselves as an account similar to that of signing up for something (ie facebook twitter you know). Oh and ( I almost forgot the most important) how to setup the server to allow the other computer to boot to it via the network...

We have been using Ubuntu Server at our department since several months now. It hosts a website, e-mail and nfs(only intra).
It was set-up as RAID 0 with two 1TB Hard drives but I want to change it to RAID 1 for fault tolerance. Is it possible to change existing RAID level? If yes can someone point me to the proper place?
I tried "mdadm" documentation and level set option is available but no explanation available that whether it is only while creating the array or it can change the level too.
