Mar 10, 2011I've set up a second user for myself on my laptop.
My user on the laptop is 'tiger'
Let's call the second user 'jrdobbs'
I would like to log on to gmail/facebook/etc using the jrdobbs, but I don't want to switch users via X... I just want a second instance of firefox open, which stores all of its login information under /home/jrdobbs.
My naive attempt looked like this:
Code:
su -l -c "firefox" jrdobbs
Here was my thinking:
start firefox under 'su jrdobbs' ... firefox should store its files under the current user's $HOME/.mozilla

Mar 30, 2010Can't seem to open certain things. For example Synaptic Package manger. It just shows "starting" etc and then nothing. Same thing with partition edd root terminal.Terminal runs fine (and i can su root from there) as do other things such as firefox,em monitor,update manager add/remove applications. apt-get still works fine. Just want to mention i have 500 megs of ram. Any ideas? Are there logs dumped somewhere for this kind of thing? Synaptic package manager still runs using dpkg from the terminal.

Oct 27, 2010So right now VNC is starting a session using :1. When I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as root. I'd like for the terminal to be logged in as a different user as some of my end users are going to be using this and don't require such privileges. I found that I can "su" to a different user and start a new VNC daemon on :2 and when I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as that user. What I want to do is get that to run at boot-up.

OpenSUSE Network :: Starting Apache As A User With Root Privileges?
Jul 17, 2010I have written a simple perl program to add a command to iptables. Here is my code :
Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html
";
system("iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.2 -j DROP");
I put this file in cgi-bin folder of Apache server. Here is my problem : when I run this file with shell as root user it makes change to iptables, but when I use my browser to run this file, it doesn't make any change. I'm sure this is because Apache doesn't have permission to manipulate iptables. How can I start Apache as a user with root privileges ?

Slackware :: Starting Installer Via Grub2
Aug 30, 2010I have a 16GB flash drive with grub2 installed on it so I can boot Linux iso's in place of burning 200 CD's. I looked at the isolinux.cfg file and came up with this:
Code:
menuentry "Slackware 13.1 64bit" {

However the kernel panics because it cannot mount the root file system. It gives me the options of using my partitions. What should I put for the root parameter?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Starting The Wireless Wlan0 Manually?
Aug 10, 2010My Slackware64 13.1 system is running off a notebook that does not leave the desk often so I stay connected via a ethernet cable. Recently I set up the wireless configuration for my home network and while I would like to have it so that it automatically goes to the wireless interface when the wired is down, I do not think that is possible without wicd or some other network manager. Anyway, whenever I start up Slackware both the wired and wireless interfaces activate and acquire their own IP addresses. What I would like is for the wireless configuration to remain dormant so that all I would have to do is issue "ifconfig wlan0 up" to turn on the wireless interface/connection. Is this possible? As it stands I have to manually issue the "ifconfig wlan0 down" to turn it off once the system boots up and I log in.

Nov 7, 2010A few days ago I tried out Fedora 14, but it didn't really live long. However, I have now Slackware on my netbook again. While I was trying Fedora I installed Clementine and I had to install an extra mp3 lib (I installed Fluendo MP3) to enable mp3 support. On my main machine I have also installed Slackware and Clementine and I can play mp3, so I ponder where's Slackware's mp3 lib? I egrep'ed /var/log/packages for "mp3" but I couldn't find any appropriate. Does Slackware use a shared mp3 lib or is the mp3 support in all the programs?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Udev Rule Not Starting Gpsd During Boot?
May 29, 2011I'm trying to configure gpsd 2.96 to start automatically from udev rule on a Slack 13.37 box.1. I've compiled and installed gpsd from sources and made sure it starts manually.2. I've copied the /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug and /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper scripts in their places from the source tree and made them executable.3. I've copied the gpsd.rules file from sources into /etc/udev/rules.d4. I renamed it 99-persistent-gpsd.rules to run late in the bootup process.5. I've copied the /etc/default/gpsd file from sources and made sure it has the right settings inside.
Now, for the results. If I plug the gps usb dongle in while the system runs, it starts gpsd if it is not started, and it connects to it just as it should. But if I start the system with the dongle in, gpsd doesn't get started during boot. I can't find any relevant message in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages for boot time. There is stuff there from when I plug the dongle in while the system is running though. It's like udev ignores the rules for it at boot time.Is there something in the Slackware boot scripts that would prevent running those scriptssd.hotplug.wrapper which in turn runs /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug which is a Python script)?Here is the contents of 99-persistent-gpsd.rules (ignore the comments referring to Debian, it was meant for a Debian box). My usb gps adapter is the first one - the Prolific chipset one:
