Ubuntu :: 10.10 Enable Shutdown Without Confirmation?
Dec 28, 2010
I keep seeing stuff that says "right-click on the shutdown icon, select Properties" and so on.Well, I've just upgraded (should I say "upgraded"? It was a fresh reinstall really, not an Upgrade through the Update Manager) to 10.10, and right-clicking on the shutdown icon does not produce a "Properties" option.I get About, Remove From Panel, and Lock To Panel... none of which are helpful.So, it's been asked before and I'm gonna ask it again: How do I remove the annoying confirmation when I want to shut down Ubuntu?

When shutting down 10.04 you are forced to deal with a confirmation window. In previous releases it was possible to switch this off, e.g. right click shutdown button or using gconf-editor. I can't remove this feature bug in 10.04.

I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Since I upgraded to 10.04 Lucid the Shut Down applet puts up a window titled "Shut Down" that has two buttons "Cancel" and "Shut Down". In 9.04 this confirmation window didn't appear. How can I make "Shut Down" skip the confirmation and shut down directly? I've looked around for a preference item about that a couple of times but didn't find it.

I want to synchronize sets of files (e.g. from or to flash memory). rsync is powerful, but --delete option is dangerous. Anyone know whether there's a way to do --delete interactively, i.e. get rsync or some near equivalent to ask (y/n, in a console window) before deleting?

I just reinstalled Ubuntu, but before that I made a list of all the programs that needed to reinstall too. the thing is that it keeps asking me for confirmation before installing every app, and I want it not to... so I can get some sleep while it sets up everything.How do I do this? maybe using the "yes" command, but how?

In my latest Debian I noticed that apt-get install does not, as I expected, stop to ask for confirmation before starting the actual download/install process.it directly carries on with the operation, which is obviously very annoying when, as I usually do, you first want to see what packages are needed (and how heavy the download) and then you want to decide whether to proceed or not.The man pages, as I correctly remembered, talk about a -y option intended to bypass confirmation requests, which means that the default behaviour should be the opposite.I tried also on a Ubuntu 10.10 with the same result.

I notice that one of the functions I can make a keyboard shortcut for in KDE is Log Out Without Confirmation. This might show a lack of imagination, but when might I want to do that?

I have a DNS server at an old companies place and that box will be losing it's IP. The whois record for the domain goes to godaddy which has 2 'A' records;
ns.domain.com
ns2.domain.com which point to the current 2 DNS servers. Now if I have a new server up and running and the zones copied over, do I just need to change the 'A' location for ns.domain.com to this new IP? I remember back in the day you had to 'register' the nameserver with the registrar, etc.I haven't touched this stuff in a while, and before I go and change the IP of the nameserver, want to make sure all is in check.

How do I get rid of this kind of annoying (silly) confirmation messages :
Quote:
Do you want to run "footer.php", or display its contents? "footer.php" is an executable text file.and then you have these buttons to choose from :
Quote:
Run in Terminal | Display | Cancel | Run
I've been clicking on Display for many many times

I have a quick question involving crontab and a script I want to run with it. The script generates and sends an email to group members who are on-call for a given day, but when you run it this appears'Run This Script?' The script will run when you enter 'y' or 'yes' and then press enter.
I'm trying to give that input via another script which runs the first one and then waits for the prompt to input a 'y'.How can I make a script which waits for a prompt and then gives it input?

In Ubuntu, When I type sudo and hit enter, the new command will appear on the command line, instead of simply executing. This is different from other operating systems I've used, such as older ubuntu's, mac osx and debian. Is there a way of disabling this confirmation and having it simply execute the command?

I use nautilus-action to create a right-click shred command with these parameters.: -f -u -v -z %M
I thought the -v would give me some feedback as well as an "are you sure" dialog before deleting. But when I run Shred it just deletes the file without any feedback and no confirmation beforehand.
How can I get a confirmation prompt to occur before shredding occurs (to prevent me from accidentaly shredding something--sometimes I click the wrong item cause the mouse shifts last second).
Any why don't any icons ever appear on my context menu even though I'm assigning icons?

I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?

I'd like to get the 13.0 "synchronized to <time server>, stratum <stratum>" messages back on 13.1.
- On 13.0, running ntpd 4.2.4p8, reassuring messages appeared in /var/log/messages like "synchronized to 211.233.84.186, stratum 2".
- On 13.1, running ntpd 4.2.6p1, there are no messages in /var/log/messages to confirm that time is being synchronised.
rc.ntpd on both starts ntpd with the same options. /etc/ntp.conf is identical on both, a "get it working and then make it secure" version:
Code:
cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#' cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#'
server in.pool.ntp.org
server asia.pool.ntp.org
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
According to Linux Home Networking, synchronization can be checked using ntpq -p. This shows synchronization is working. I would prefer to see that confirmation in /var/log/messages without having to run a command manually to check it. How to get the old messages back?

I just remotely updated my uncle's Ubuntu 10.10 desktop to 11.04. My uncle has no computer skills, so it is very important that I troubleshoot his problems using VNC. After completing the 11.04 upgrade, I was not able to connect to him via VNC. After some fiddling around I was able to connect by turning off the confirmation option in the Security section. We are now using the password security option. The problem is that my uncle does not have any security against my peering eyes.
I tried reinstalling Vinagre, but that didn't help. Is it possible to get the confirmation option working again somehow?
Is there a download link for Vinagre 3.01 (deb)?

I'm writing a script and I'm stuck. I need to read from keyboard to ask for confirmation while Im reading from a file. My code is this:
while read linea
do #code
echo "you sure? (y/n)"
read answer
#code
done < $"agenda.dat"
The problem is that stdinput has been redirected to file agenda.dat so when I do "read answer" it reads the next line from the file.

Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

Ubuntu will randomly pop up the shutdown menu and then shutdown.It seems to happen when im in firefox and typing and it has been difficult to replicate. I dont think it is a temp issue since watch sensors shows temmp of 40-50C. Someimtes it happens every minute someimtes i can go 10min without it happening.

I cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.
I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.

With an Ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from 10.04, under Software Sources, Updates, there is a radio button marked "Install security updates without confirmation." I have this radio button marked, but still get "Important security updates" almost daily in my update manager. I don't remember this feature actually ever working.
