I am using CentOS 5.5 (64 bit) and want to know the command to turn off day light saving settings permanently. I only have SSH access to the server so please let me know command so that I can turn off that settings.
View 2 RepliesI'm completely new to openSUSE and when I installed it, my wireless card isn't apparently found. The light on the keyboard doesn't turn on signaling there is a wireless card. I should have also said I'm using the KDE thing, not the GNOME.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi used WUBI to put Ubuntu on an SD card. i ran it off that for a while, and keeping my Vista. then i tried upgrading to to 10.10. there was even a special installer for GRUB in the process.
that's when the problem started. after my comp finished the upgrade, it restarted. but this time, in grub rescue. i tried some of the codes in the wiki, but everything came up unknown command. then someone in the chat told me to use a Live CD and a Super GRUB2 cd.
the LiveCD booted to a screen with a picture of a "keyboard=person with a circle around it". then after a few minutes of just that, lines of text reading:EDD: error 8000 reading sector 3567 EDD: error 8000 reading sector 3577 (and more with consecutive numbers) the Super GRUB2 cd let me get the OS list i usually get from starting up. only Vista would start up without problem. Ubuntu had.. a problem i cant recall right now.
i redid the Live CD, and im back in Ubuntu. i tried the ways of reinstalling GRUB2, as advised by the chats, but nothing seemed to work as described in the reinstallation section of this.
and that is where i stand right now. also, my SD drive's light doesn't turn off now, even when there is no card in it. im kind of worried that when GRUB installed at the 10.10 upgrade, it made that a partisan.
How to configure Linux text console to automatically turn of the monitor after some time? And by "text console" I mean that thing that you get on ctrl+alt+F[1-6], which is what you get whenever X11 is not running. And, no, I'm not using any framebuffer console (it's a plain, good and old 80x25 text-mode). Many years ago, I was using Slackware Linux, and it used to boot up in text-mode. Then you would manually run startx after the login. Anyway, the main login "screen" was the plain text-mode console, and I remember that the monitor used to turn off (energy saving mode, indicated by a blinking LED) after some time. Now I'm using Gentoo, and I have a similar setup.
The machine boots up in text-mode, and only rarely I need to run startx. I say this because this is mostly my personal Linux server, and there is no need to keep X11 running all the time. (which means: I don't want to use GDM/KDM or any other graphical login screen). But now, in this Gentoo text-mode console, the screen goes black after a while, but the monitor does not enter any energy-saving mode (the LED is always lit). Yes, I've waited long enough to verify this. Thus, my question is: how can I configure my current system to behave like the old one? In other words, how to make the text console trigger energy-saving mode of the monitor?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the question if anyone here has a suggestion for a Linux-based operating system I can use to run on an old laptop, connected to an external monitor with a keyboard and a mouse (so that it kinda looks like a pc, i'm saving money okay ). The specs for the laptop are:
Acer Aspire, 512 mib RAM, 16 mib Graphical Card, AMD Sempron processor, 30 GIG storage. I have Ubuntu 9.04 running on it, but I find it a bit too slow, it takes at least 20 seconds before google chrome (which is faster than firefox, and firefox takes at least 40 seconds to start up) will start up, as well as openoffice.I just need to do the following things on this laptop:
- browse the webs
- make text documents
- be able to view flash
- be able to play video's and mp3
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with 9.10's Humanity icon theme. I have been irritated for a long time about the prelight on icons. That is, how icons light up when you hover over then in any view except list view. How can I get rid of the prelight?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using a scanner with Fedora. However, linux does something that is undesirable; It turns off the scanner light, everytime it does a scan, which the HP software, which comes for windows, doesn't do. The result? The light never warms up enough and all the images come with a blue tone on them. Only after using the scanner a few times, the light warms up enough and the images start getting their true colour.The question is, can I somehow force the light to stay on, even during scans, like it happens when I am using Windows? Or not? Anyone has ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an annoying text color problem. I don't know what to change to fix it. I have played around with System->Preferences->Appearance to no avail. Here is the problem: I am getting very light colored text so only the currently selected item is readable. The funny thing is that in Nautilus, Firefox, Chrome, Amarok, etc.. it's fine. It seems to be in only some programs in boxes with selectable line items, but also in the area that displays status updates in FileZilla. So I'm not sure how to pinpoint the problem.

I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for almost a year now in WUBI with WinXP. I'm a relative noob with Linux, though always eager to learn more. Lately, I have noticed that every now and then Ubuntu stops working for about 30 seconds or so with the hard disk light solidly on. Clicking anywhere does nothing until it wakes up and then remembers all my previous clicks.
When it doesn't do this, it works wonderfully. I can't figure out what sets it off. And some days it does it annoyingly often and other days not at all or rarely. I checked the log files and this is a sample of some troubled times:
Code:
May 2 19:32:17 ubuntu kernel: [ 909.000011] ata1: lost interrupt (Status 0x58)

I could just dump abrt since it's hardly a necessity, but I'm inclined not to as I think it's a good idea which could potentially be of great benefit to us all.
I want to introduce my friends to this wonderful OS . I am looking for a Fedora derivative that can be run on a Pentium iii with 256 mb of ram .

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've just bought a MSI Wind U250 netbook and installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. (Almost everything is working great out of the box. There are some little problems like dead keyboard shortcut Fn + F3 which sould be killing touchpad. BTW any package or other way to configure Fn keys?)This model of netbook has a bluetooth as an option. My netbook hasn't BT, but has bluetooth control light anyway, which isn't used at all. Such a waste, I've paid for this control light after all...
I'm using GNUbiff as an e-mail notifier. It can run a command when a new e-mail comes. Now I'm using this to play a sound: play /usr/share/sounds/purple/receive.wav. But I would like to send this way a signal to the BT control light to light or, even better, start blinking in specified manner. (Scroll Lock control light would be also great)Is there such possibility? Maybe you are aware of existence of a package able to do this, because I'm unable to locate such one.I think this is really obvious adaptation for control light and don't think I'm the first one who want such function. Some laptops even has a special control light just for e-mail (like my 12 years old fujitus-siemens) and there is Polish IM "EKG" (or "EKG2", don't remember) who blinks ScrLk when a new message comes, so I figured out there should be a potentiality to manage control lights.
I am very new to Ubuntu and I need some help. My HP Pavillion WLAN light constantly blinks as it recieves data on the internet and I learned that I have to create and save a file: "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf" and then paste the following at the end: "#1 means do not blink options iwlcore led_mode=1" but when I try to save it asks me for my sudo password which I don't have and it does not even register any key I press. It just blinks but does not acccept any key. Also how do you save the file in terminal?

This has been a problem for several people because Ubuntu or any other distribution that I know of does not support the Linksys AE1000 card. It's kinda a pain because my desktop needs wireless in order to connect to the internet (for several reasons...) Is anybody working on the drivers for this? I would prefer not to be stuck with Windows. I would love to run a light weight distro on it instead.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTo protect my eyes I always lower the monitor's brightness to its lowest. In some of the computers/displays I can get the desired low brightness in some others I cannot. For example in my WinXP ThinkPad R51 laptop I can make the brightness extremely low while in Ubuntu 9.04 ThinkPad R41 laptop and Apple Mac mini/23" Cinema Display I cannot get the desired lowness easily.
But in my Ubuntu 9.04 ThinkPad laptop, just as the energy saving routine has started to dim the brightness of LCD, an idea has come up. The energy saver routine was apparently lowering the fluorescent light's power, I'm sure of it. So I wonder now if there's a way to control and set that by myself? I'd like to set the fluorescent light's power to a much lower level.

I would recommend it right away for people with very low RAM in their PCs.Ok, I didn't try Flash but I don't care about this.It's a webkit browser, like uzbl. This latter one I never tried.

I just installed Fedora 10 on my laptop (HP dv2500 series). I have it dual booting between Fedora and Vista. The laptop has one of those wireless on/off switches and next it the LED: blue - wireless active, amber - wireless inactive. It works fine in Vista but whenever I'm using Fedora it flashes between blue and amber quite fast, stopping on blue for maybe 4 seconds, then flashes again. I am on a constant connection to the network though, no sign of connection loss.
