It's current behavior, under 3.14, slowly fades the screen out and then enters DPMS mode after 10 minutes.I have zeroed out the following dconf settings, under both root and user, but the default behavior persists.

I'm running Squeeze with Gnome & GDM3. After 1 h my laptop automatically suspends while in the login screen (GDM3; so no user login). I want to prevent that, since this machine also has a server role. how this can be prevented?

Only asking "username" and not "login as"?
I've recently had my file system irrecoverably corrupted after a hard lock-up. This has happened to me before, a couple weeks ago, and both times I've had to reinstall. I don't know what is causing the lock-ups (possibly the binary nvidia driver..), but I would like my file system to be intact or at least recoverable next time it happens.What is the "safest" way to mount things?
I'll be using ext3 with data=journal, but I've read that disk write caching combined with a kernel crash or power loss can still screw things up. Supposedly, mounting with barrier=1 helps some, but doesn't work with LVM? Would it be wise to turn off disk write caching completely? I understand there's a performance penalty, but if it helps keep the file system consistent in case of disaster.
Some instructions say to put 'uname -r' into terminal commands. Is this supposed to be automatically converted by the system to something else? It doesn't get converted to anything on my system. uname -r only works by itself but not as a program argument.

any one knows the difference between the uname -m, -p and -i?
Code:

i686
uname -p
i686
uname -i

i gt this from man. does it mean that the machine is a i686 machine that is running on a i386 OS?

I am installing a new fedora 14 for a friend who is totally fed up with windows and I get this error: (Yes I have searched the internet and Fedora forums for an answer)

I have tried the two yum suggestions and they don't work I have tried updating the kernel and have installed kernel-devel-'uname -r' (suggested by another site) I have tried installing broadcom-wl and b43-openfwwf which only knocked out the card entirely
I am having issues trying to compile the alsa-linuxtant module and I am getting errors about not being able to find some files and the source needing to be reconfigured. Anyway the developers told me to try compiling on a pristine source to see if I could compile that way. When I went looking at kernel.org I did not find a 2.6.32-5 version. So I did some checking and to see just what version I have.
$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-amd64
$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-2.6-amd 64 2.6.32+27 Linux 2.6 for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-24 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-15 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs
So the actual package that is installed is 2.6.32-15 but uname -r reports 2.6.32-5 as the kernel version.
I am writing a script inside i need to get the values of uname -n like... var = uname -n. how to do it in shell script ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhile I was installing some packages, the power in my street went out (uncleanly killing my system) ... unfortunately Kpackage was open at the time of the power outage. Now when I try to use KPackage, I get "Login Problem, Please Login Manually" ... which does not allow me to login using either the root or user's password. I have rebooted my computer many times and have even run a 'reiserfsck /dev/*** --fix-fixable' on my system, which did not repair the problem.
I have researched this error, but have only found responses that people suggest changing the KPackage behaviour from 'su' to 'sudo' ... ; while this does work, it feels like a 'putting-a-band-aid-over-a-warning-light-so-I-can't-see-the-warning-light-anymore' kind of 'fix?' which isn't good as it would enable anyone using the system to add or remove packages without thought or consequence. What I would prefer to do is actually fix the problem so that proper root password entering is again required to add or remove packages, so my question is:
1. Does anyone know if KPackage 'locks' out a file(s) on the system which may be preventing me from logging into the program correctly, and if so what and where the file(s) may be?
2. Can I delete any kpackage (profile?) file to gain normal login behaviour again?
3. Is this a permissions error?, has something in users/groups? been broken that I can look into?
4. how I may be able to properly repair this KPackage login problem on my system?
I am an openSuSE user for many years. My current installation is openSuSE 11.2. However, my first was SuSE 6.4 and I have been _constantly_ upgrading since then until reaching the current openSuSE 11.2. The technical issue I have been facing lately is with the kernel version of my current system: although it should be 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop, as this is the one I have chosen via the online update mechanism and the yast2 system boot-loader procedure, grub shows it as preselected, the boot procedure in the end greets me mentioning this very kernel version, _but_ when I issue the command: uname -a in a command prompt, I am informed of using linux kernel version: 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP PREEMPT
I am really quite puzzled, since I _cannot_ find any such vmlinuz file under /boot/ ! Could it be that my system properly runs with the expected kernel version, but uname mistakes it with a different one? Is there a way to determine the actual version of the linux kernel that my system currently runs with? If it's a problem with uname, have you got any suggestions that could potentially shed some light towards the origin/cause of the reported issue?
I did apply the updates on 11.1 32bit and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.27.45 to 2.6.27.56.
Now:
Code:
> uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
but:
Code:
> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27.56-0.1-pae (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100
I'm booting kernel 2.6.34.7-0.4 (opensuse 11.3), but "uname -r" says version:2.6.34.7-0.3-default. What's wrong?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLet's say that I have a customized Bash prompt stored as a PS1 variable. My variable gets read every time I invoke a login shell, i.e., when logging in in one of the standard virtual terminal or by invoking xterm with the -ls parameter.
However, when I just invoke the terminal without specifying that it is a login shell, I just get something like: bash-XXX$ as a prompt.
where should I place my PS1 variable so that it could get read even on non-login shells?
I often use the virtual ttys and as slackware doesn't by default enable vttys 8-12 I added these to inittab and I can now use CNTRL-ALT-(F8-12) to switch to them, now for the problem. On vtty 6 I can login as myself or root no problem but on vttys 8-12 when I try to login as root I just get "Login Incorrect" but if I login as myself there is no problem I can then su to root, I just can't login as root this is very frustrating as I tend to use the vttys to do admin work so have to be root
