From other threads, I have managed to at least set the time straight once with ntpdate. But of course, I want that to be automated by the system. However, it didn't work as I had hoped for:
Code:
bash-4.1# ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org
11 Sep 12:34:25 ntpdate[12709]: step time server 173.201.38.85 offset -356.823367 sec

This happens on my machine almost every time i exit firefox. FF starts normally the next time though. [URL]
I noticed that it may not occur if i use firefox for short duration. But i usually open FF for at least some hours, so this is rather annoying.
Do you know the reason and the fix for this?
I also have had the garbled screen problem when I exit X. I have fresh Slackware 13.1 64 bit install. I have no xorg.config file. The install process installed an xorg.config.vesa instead. Within X, everything is fine. I have the correct screen resolution and all software works great. Within the xorg.config.vesa file my monitor and graphics card have been identified correctly. When the problem first occurred, I experimented by renaming xorg.config.vesa to bad.xorg.config.vesa and using my backed up xorg.config from my previous installation of 13.1, 32 bit version.
When X started, it complained the xorg.config was not found. So, I deleted the xorg.conf, renamed bad.xorg.config.vesa back to it original name and rebooted. Then, everything worked fine except when I exit X I now am put into a huge font - I'd guess somewhere abouts 768x640, or less. It is no longer garbled. If I reboot, text mode comes up as it should with 1048 resolution and the penguin graphic sits on top. Then, X is still fine to work with, and kconsole works fine within X, but when I exit x I am always put back into this graphics free humongous font.

I can use this at the end of bash_profile to autorun start x after logging on. code...
But what about to auto logout after killing the X session? I hit exit from fluxbox, but I could add a menu item I suppose to just kill the xsession. Wondering if there is a graceful way to do it with bash_profile.
Also, on a related note, if I switch to dash with the bash_profile method still work?
I'd like to make a launcher that starts irssi in gnome-terminal with just one click.
I guess something like:
gnome-terminal -execute "irssi"
but without it closing down as soon as irssi is run
I want to launch a gnome-terminal with a korn shell, and I want to specify in advance a command to execute, and then hand control back over to ksh. ex.
Code:
gnome-terminal --execute ksh -ic ls
I expect that to run ksh, do an 'ls' for example, and then give a prompt. I thought the -i switch (for interactive) meant that the shell would resume control, but this doesn't happen. The window just closes quicker than I can see what was output.
I like less and use it as my default pager in Linux. However, there are times that I am scrolling down through a large document quickly and less exits when I reach the end of the document before I have time to stop scrolling. I'd like less to exit only I type q, and not because I ask it to scroll beyond the end of the document. Is that possible?

I use Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit stable OS with Gnome 3.14.1 and Iceweasel 31.8.0
Some times, when watching full screen videos on: „you tube”, the only way to exit from full screen is to navigate with Alt+Tab to another open window, which cancel full screen mode, or Alt+F4.
Esc and „Exit from full screen mode” down right button, do not cancel full screen. Also on vimeo full screen videos freezes on half way.
I read that these may be because of VGA so i changed the VGA adapter, problem persists!

I'm running Debian Lenny. When I exit run level 1 (single user mode), the system automatically continues into run level 2. I have browsed the init scripts and have yet to determine how this "magic" is performed. I would be grateful if a local guru would point me to how the scripts automatically proceed into run level 2 when exiting run level 1

since some update to the latest Flash, I've been getting a weird issue. If I'm watching a flash video in fullscreen (via firefox) and hit "esc" to leave full screen, about 20-40% of the time it will screw up the monitor's display of everything. The entire screen gets weird white and colored pixels randomply all over the screen (see the attached picture). Restarting is the only thing that fixes this. I tried logging out and back in but the issue remains. I have two questions:
1. How do I fix this without a restart?
2. What could be causing this?
One of my servers needs to issue an "apt-get update" command on each of the clients in a lab. However, after the first update, it exits. In trying to replicate the problem with a simpler script, I created the following which fetches the listings of multiple directories from a client:
NUM=0
cat paths | while read DIR; do
ssh server-name ls $DIR > /tmp/$NUM.txt
NUM=`expr $NUM + 1`
done
Again, after the first iteration, the script exists. I tried the following line too, but it made no difference:
bash -c ssh server-name ls $DIR > /tmp/$NUM.txt
The only thing that worked so far is this
xterm -e ssh server-name ls $DIR > /tmp/$NUM.txt
I am not all that experienced with Linux configure scripts for building source. I downloaded a vmime library source package. One of the dependencies it has is on another open source lib - gsasl. I had no trouble building the gsasl lib.
But I cannot figure out how to let the vmime configure script know that I have built the gsasl package. Here is the end of the output of the vmime configure script:
checking for char... yes
checking size of char... 1
checking for short... yes
checking size of short... 2
checking for int... yes
checking size of int... 4

What am I doing wrong here in compiling 1.2.6! I am following this link: url
What is wrong with this?? I DL'd wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2 from url, which got me this:
~$ tar -xvjf wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2
tar: wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
What did I do wrong?? And bunzip2 gives this:
~$ bunzip2 wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2 bunzip2: Can't open input file wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2: No such file or directory.
BTW, the file is on the Desktop. The reason for all this work is that 1.3.12beta no longer has the mixer toolbar built-in that allowed easy to choose devices like "line-in","mic", etc. I have 1.2.6 installed on an XP machine and it is great.
I want to have a script (tcsh/bash/python) that launches a bunch of gnome-terminals (or 1 with multiple tabs). And I want it to execute a command, but keep the shell interactive. Currently, if you type gnome-terminal then it launches a new interactive shell, but if you give it the execute flag, then it executes the command and quits (or stays open, but non-interactive depending on the users gnome-terminal settings).
I have this command which I want to run automatically before I start working. What the command does is dynamic and different for each shell. It takes arguments. So it's not something I can take care of in a .cshrc type file.
For compiling ArpON on my server the cmake command says 'libpcap not found' when a newer version libpcap-1.0.0-5.20091201git117cb5.fc13.i686.rpm is already exiting which I am unable to erase as other rpms depend on it.

I want the mouse pointer goes to left side of screen when it reaches right side of desktop and vice versa. Or goes to bottom of the desktop area when it reaches top of screen. It makes using mouse and moving around the desktop area using a touchpad easier.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strange problem with KDE, to which there may be no solution but thought I'd ask anyway. I play several games (Neverball, several MAME games and even ZSNES and others) and it seems that if I have desktop effects turned on, KWIN will crash every time I exit a full screen game such as those mentioned above and others. If I disable desktop effects before starting the game, everything is fine. The games themselves run fine while desktop effects are enabled, I don't have to remember to disable desktop effects before clicking on a game.
