I was told to create accounts from the GUI through K > Applications > System > User Manager or something like that, but the "user manager" icon is missing. Would it be possible to make new accounts through the terminal (bash, Konsole, whatever you want to call it)?

But I already have ubuntu desktop edition so I was wondering if I really have to install a server edition for my limited functionality. If it is not required to install a full blown server and I can do with the one I have, how do I go about creating accounts for remote login?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhilst playing around with my computer the other day i accidentally set the workspace feature to have 36 workspaces. This subsequently caused my computer to run very slowly and both panels and the bar at the top of the windows (with the close and minimise things) to dissapear. This means that i can no longer open programs easily (i have to open a folder from the desktop and then navigate to filesystem/usr/shared/aplications and then open them from there and only a few have full functionality. They also run very slowly. I have been looking for options to change it back but cannot. I have managed to use terminal to create a new working account although it is not an administrator account which i need it to be.
How to do one of the following:
A) Fix the first account (restore it to working order)
B) Make the new account an administrator in terminal (I have tried to using users and groups but it freezes)
C) Create a new administrator account in terminal
Can it be done? If so, how? As far as I know it doesn't work like mkfs.ext3 and all that.

I know I have to do this in the terminal as root, but I always get the answer that it cannot create the directory because there is no such file or directory. Yet the directory where I want to make the new folder definitely exists (I even just go there and try to create the folder)Here is the exact code:Code:lukas@lukas-VGN-FZ21E:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p$ sudo mkdir ossmkdir: cannot create directory `oss': No such file or directory

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wonder if it would be possible to create a custom boot menu entry in grub under Ubuntu (11.04), that boots the system into terminal instead of the login screen.
The effect should be something like the root shell in (rescue mode) boot menu entry, one that gives me access to a root shell or a less privileged shell, without the need to select "root shell" explicitly.
If possible, I also would like to customize the shell started by, most preferably by specifying a shell script to run so that I can start something other than bash, like vim.
My intention is to create a "fast" boot mode to give me a usable system within seconds (to take notes, for instance) without needing to start GUI. Therefore, it is preferred that the silent option is turned on.
Note: There is a requirement: that no existing feature of the system is removed. That is to say, the gnome desktop (and Unity) should remain intact, and is only disabled when I choose this mode.
in windows I can use Putty to create a shortcut which loads a predefined profiles to log into a specific server. How can I do it in Ubuntu? (Instead of click on the terminal icon to open it, type ssh

I use putty to get to my RHEL 5.3 workstation from my Windows laptop.
Typically, if I want a new terminal on my windows 7 workstation from another terminal or mc, I have to type start and I will see a new terminal window running the default shell.
QUESTION : What is the equivalent command in RHEL 5.3 (and or solaris) to create a new terminal window from the command line ? I will be entering this command from the shell prompt or mc's command line.
In Windows, if I want to start another terminal and in that terminal, I want to run a program, I can do "start program.exe arg1 arg2". this will create a new terminal window and runs program.exe in that terminal window. I don't have to create a terminal and then in a separate step run the program. How can I do this in Linux ?

I recently switched from Ubuntu Maverick 32-bit to 64-bit so I could compile Android's latest revision, Gingerbread.
Everything went pretty smoothly and I managed to fix most issues that was caused due to the switch.
But each time I open terminal, the following error shows up:
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/cgroups/cpu': Permission denied
bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/notify_on_release: No such file or directory
bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/tasks: No such file or directory
I've tried manually creating that directory as root but the error remains.
I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I can easily create a .sh file that will execute a command in Terminal, but as soon as it executes the terminal disappears. How do I get it to stay? My idea is to have the keyboard shortcut "ctrl+alt+del" open a .sh file with the contents "ps ax". Then it would be just like having a task manager; the terminal would open with "ps ax" already executed, and all I would have to do is kill the process number.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have an ftp server setup using Ubuntu 10.04 and pureftpd with mysql as the backend. All the ftp users are "virual users" that are stored in mysql. I want my existing users to be able to use scp to transfer files instead of ftp. As far as I know, you can only use ssh/scp if you have a system account. All of my virtual users use the same system account of "ftpuser".
Is it even possible for me to setup the users with scp access, even though they don't have an actual system account? I really don't want to setup system accounts for each user. I have a lot of ftp users and I plan on expanding that number, so adding system accounts isn't ideal, plus I feel like that will bring new security issues (researching chroot for ssh and how to lock down ssh).
I'm installing a new laptop for a friend of mine and he wants 3 user accounts, similair to how he runs his windows setup.
1, an admin account, we have called this account peacemaker.
2. his account
3. an account for his girlfriend.
The problem we have is that if we want to do anything from the terminal that requires elevated priviledges, sudo does not accept his password or that of peacemakers. we have done sudo -i -u peacemaker but it still doesn't accept either password, stating his account is not in the sudoers list.
I'm not a massive expert here, but research brought me to this page:[URL]... But that then just means his account has admin rights, which is what we were trying to avoid. We wanted a setup similair to windows where if you want to run someting with elevated privledges if pops up asking for the admin password. This works in the gui, but not in the terminal.
So in short, my question is, is there anyway of having the terminal accept peacemakers user rights from the his normal user account? If I add the account to the sudoers list like it suggests, does this again just give his account the prilvedges rather than saying supply me with the password for peacemaker.
this is probably not really needed and he can just have his account as the main user, but coming from a windows background, he would prefer the 3 user accounts model (2 normal users, 1 admin)
is there a way to transfer over data from one account to another? I made a new account for my roommate but since we share the same data is there a way to transfer that over?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI googled for a while without finding anything about this, so i created an account to make sure that others after me get an actual hit when searching for an answer.I have 13 email accounts in Thunderbird for work-related stuff. Thunderbird by default just adds accounts in a top-down manner without sorting of any kind, not even alphabetically. For most users this is not an issue, but for me and other powerusers who have multiple accounts with an uncountable amount of subfolders it soon becomes a nuisance to have your latest added mailbox all the way down when you actually check it quite often.
Why Mozilla havent included a simple drag'n'drop feature or similar for this is beyond me, but here is how you do it.For example if i wanted my latest added account - which is placed all the way at the bottom by default - to instead be placed at the top of the list, i just delete "account4" from the end of the line, and insert it at the front. Make sure that there is no trailing comma and no whitespaces anywhere.There we go. I hope someone finds this useful, a bunch of my colleagues sure did.
I have upgraded to Lucid, but was having the same issues on Karmic. I made a 2nd user acct we'll call X and we'll call the original acct Y. All of these issues only happened after creating X.
On X I have: sound Things wrong with X: I don't have the ability to modify any folders (even ones that are made from X's acct), I can't change the password or even access the Users and Groups, I can't modify any browser settings in Firefox but can on Chromium, the option for wireless is completely gone
On Y I have: the ability to access users and groups, the ability to modify all folders on either acct, the ability to change any settings on anything Things wrong with Y: no sound (doesn't even show the driver, but the driver is there on X's acct), wireless is completely gone (just like X's acct), even though I can access Users and Groups I cannot modify anything about X's acct
My first thought was to completely delete X since that's when all the problems began, but I'm afraid that since X seems to have "stolen" my sound card, that will be lost forever. I am also afraid that since neither account has wireless deleting X might hinder ever getting it back.
