Is there a way to clear the history, maybe disable it altogether or at the very least limit the amount of history it retains?
How do I clear the ALT+F2 'run a command' history that appears in Ubuntu Natty? The Terminal command I used to use in 10.10 to clear the history no longer works in the new Unity command launcher. I've tried searching within files on my hard drive to see if I can find where the data is stored, but no such luck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAlright, this has been driving me bonkers for months now and I can't find the answer anywhere. I like the custom theme options with standard gnome just fine, plenty of adjustments that can be made, with only one adjustment missing which would create perfection (at least in my opinion).
How on earth is it possible to change the backgrounds of the "mini-panels" which are always grey by default? No matter which Theme I choose and customize, I can never get the background color of the time/date applet, monitors, evolution, garbage can, and so on to change. I'd like to make all of the backgrounds transparent, not just the main panels that contain the other stuff. Is this even possible, and if so, how?I'm assuming since all of those apps have the same default color that an adjustment "wherever" would then change those default colors on all of the applets (hopefully).
Having used Lucid from day one without any problems, lately there have been a few niggles, first the Trash Can disappeared, since been restored, now my Clock preferences on the top panel has gone (You know, the Time, Weather, Location).And as I write this the off / on button has gone walkabout.

Recently switched from ubuntu to Deb Squeeze. I'm having trouble keeping apps on my panel. I'll add an app, and after reboot (sometimes a couple) something or all are missing. If I try to add say Chrome back to it, I'll then have two of them. I've googled and LQ'd around to see up there a way to update the Gnome menus, which I found a few but nothing works

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I get rid of the information that Ubuntu stores for connecting to wireless networks?
I'm asking because I have two wireless networks nearby: my personal network and my school's network. I tried one time to connect to the school's network using the standard prompts but none of them worked - however I could connect to my personal network just fine. The problem is that Ubuntu remembered the incorrect information I entered for my school's network and keeps trying to connect to it.
It's annoying because whenever I'm in range of both networks I keep having to manually tell it to stop connecting to my school's network and to connect to my personal one instead.

a few days ago i set my FoxyProxy settings to tor. I needed it to make a few raid boards on 4chan and those can get you banned if you post.
So anyways, i go on this forum about a phone and i accidentally refreshed the page, but i haven't switched from proxy to my default settings and so all of a sudden a message appeared "Sorry, ###### you are banned from this forum."
I tried clearing cache, cookies and whatnot through firefox' options but still i get that message, i installed Midori for a quick test and it seems to work there (I'm not banned) but never on firefox, even rebooted and still nothing.
I really hate the ads with Midori as i use Adblock for firefox.
This is actually for my router, but it's linux based, Anyway, I currently have a router running tomato linux firmware and at 30 minute intervals I have it send a log file of bandwidth usage to a network drive.
From there, a program calculates the bandwidth used by each IP by adding up all the totals recorded in the log files. The log files are the output of the router running the command:
Code:
iptables -L traffic_in -vn
What doesn't happen though, which I'd prefer, is that the bandwidth counts inside the router get cleared upon writing each log file. This way, I don't end up counting the same bandwidth use multiple times. So my question is, is there a way to erase/reset the data count in the iptables?
I just upgraded to 10.04, and it seems to be working well. At the very end of the process, it asked me if I wanted to delete my obsolete packages, and I chickened out and said "no". Now I have a truckload of taken space on the root drive, and am wondering if there is an easy way to complete this last step of clearing out obsolete packages now that 10.04 has been fully installed?
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy current plan is to create a truecrypt container with the whirlpool hash. This container will be located on a hdd that is not where my OS will be located (so a separate physical sata drive).My concern is when this container is accessed, that some of the password information could be stored in my swap partition (which is on the main drive where the OS "/" is located)
I would like to have a script or command I could run that after I unmount those drives (or just halt the system) that my swap (and ram too if possible) could be wiped (or like overwritten with the shred command). Also, am I going about this the right way, or should I just use truecrypts FDE on the entire drive? In addition, when Ubuntu does it's default install, does it create a swap file in addition to a swap partition? If it does, would that be another vulnerability? If it is, how do I prevent this from happening?
I welcome any input you have on this. I am aware that once the drive is mounted, it is vulnerable, but I want the data to be secure as possible once my computer is turned off. Also, I have read that there are ram exploits where it holds your passwords for up to a few minutes after you turn the machine off, does anyone know how long that it and is there a way to clear it, or will only time let it fade?
I came across this article: [URL] while looking for a way to clear my BIOS password. I wonder if this is possible with gdb? I've had no luck by trying "output x70 2e" and "output 70 2e", the former asks for a symbol table to be loaded.

Code:

to /etc/rc.d/rc.S immediately after:
Code:
# Done checking root filesystem
And /tmp is not clearing out at boot time. This method seems to work for others.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small program that reads stdin from a pipe using fgets. Now fgets blocks for the first line but after that it will not block.
The code, my_echo.c -
int main(int argc, char **argv) { char buf [2000] ;
char* pc ; printf("hello ") ; while (1)
{ buf[0] = (char) 0 ;
pc = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin);
if (pc != NULL) printf("%s ",buf); } return 0; }
How its called
* In terminal window 1: ./my_echo < my_fifo
* In terminal window 2: echo "1234" > my_fifo
* In terminal window 1: prints hello then 1234.
* Checking with ksysguard or top shows that my_echo is consuming 40% of CPU time.
Adding a few printf's shows that the gets is not blocking and returns a null pointer.
* In terminal window 2: echo "qwerty" > my_fifo
* In terminal window 1 qwerty prints.
I want a read function that does in fact block so my program does not tie up CPU time, read does not block.
I just realized that my /tmp directory is not being cleared at shutdown time. How to enable this? I'm running -current.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to stop Rhythmbox from clearing a song from the Play Queue once it has played it?
I searched the forums and haven't found a solution. This question had been raised before, but there was no answer given (the guy who responded confused 'playlist' with 'play queue').
Basically, whenever I queue up files to play in Rhythmbox's Play Queue (and i prefer to use that, since I operate it via Gnome-Do), they are auto-cleared as soon as I have finished playing them. I'd like to stop Rhythmbox from clearing them as I like to put them on repeat.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 dual booted with windows vista. My boot is in a separate partition (sda5). My computer told me that there was limited space on that partition so I tried to clean things up using apt-get by removing old kernels. Turns out I didn't do it correctly because I consistently get an 'ERROR 15' when I shut down and rebooted my computer. I have a live-CD USB-stick so I tried reinstalling grub, (grub-install) updating the menu.lst (update-grub), and manually going through menu.lst and changing to root=(hd0,4) and groot=/dev/sda6. But I still get this ERROR 15 when I reboot.
when I do
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/stage1
Both give me an ERROR 15 message and I'm not sure how to proceed with a diagnosis. When I ran update-grub, occasionally it used to tell me that /etc/fstab may be incorrect. Here is /boot/grub (note that stage 1 does exist!) ( this is /dev/sda5)
Code:
root@ubuntu:/# ls /boot/grub/
default fat_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5 stage2
device.map grubenv menu.lst reiserfs_stage1_5 xfs_stage1_5
e2fs_stage1_5 installed-version menu.lst~ stage1
Here is my problem
Code:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
Error 15: File not found
grub> find /boot/stage1
Error 15: File not found
I guess my main question is, if stage1 can't be found, what does that mean? What should I do next?
