How do I prevent ubuntu from killing my server daemons on user logout. I have the user irc which I run Unrealircd on but unfortunately I have to be logged into that user in terminal to keep it running, the moment i exit it loses connection in xchat.
View 9 RepliesAs a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe server is a Dell 1650 1U server, which a fresh install of CentOS 5.3, formatting the drive in the process. It has two e1000 NIC's and based on the wiring eth0 is the public segment and eth1 is the private segment.Both nic's make a solid 100mb connection to the cisco switch, and I can ping both interfaces "just fine".
If I run nmap on a remote PC that is also dual-homed in this fashion, I get the same response as to which ports are open (essentially everything since I disabled iptables temporarily to troubleshoot this issue) on both interfaces, which would be the expected result.But... and here is the source of my confusion... I can see the server by pinging it, I can use SSH to make such a connection and log in, but I cannot get apache to "answer the phone" so to speak.Runing "tcpdump -i eth0" shows me that my browser on a remote PC is attempting to connect, but without reply.If I send my browser to the ip address of eth1, I get the default CentOS new web server page as is the norm.Nothing shows in my /var/log/httpd/access_log or error_log at all... apache simply isn't answering.The httpd.conf is the original, and the one line I attempted to 'adjust' was the "listen 80" line, which I added the ip addresses specifically, but that didn't change anything.I am unsure how nmap can indicate the port is open and there is a service behind it, when on the same PC that ran nmap, I cannot connect at all.Might anyone have a clue to toss me so I can work to figure this out?
My system was working fine. I followed a thread online to try to get samba to share better, installed "winbind" and now I can't get passed "Checking System Files" on boot up.

I have installed Koha on Debian Lenny. It does work well, but I have to manually start the koha-zebra-ctl.sh by entering /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start The is, however, that this starts at boot from /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon. Like /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start (does not work now) In the koha-zebra-daemon file I have:
#!/bin/sh
# Quick start-stop-daemon example, derived from Debian /etc/init.d/ssh
set -e
# Must be a valid filename

I have made a symbolic link;
ln -s /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
I have tried checking whether the symbolic link exists with readlink, but this never seems to return anything anywhere.
I'm building a new desktop computer, on which I plan to install Debian Squeeze. I'll have a 1 TB SATA hard drive in the system. I'm also considering using two 500 GB external USB drives, but I'm debating about how I want to use them. Running them all separately for 2 TB of space could be a nightmare, with three potential points of failure, so I was thinking of using the two external drives as a backup system instead.
I'm considering linking the two external drives in a RAID 0 array, then linking that array and the internal drive in a RAID 1 array. I would use mdadm software RAID for all of this so I could use individual partitions in the arrays, avoid hardware dependency, and have greater software control. So now is this feasible to do (having a partial RAID 0+1 setup)? Moreover, what kind of performance could I expect from using potentially slow external drives (one of which I know has a very long spin-up time after idle periods) in a mirroring setup with the internal drive?Would I be far better off using a filesystem backup daemon instead?
EDIT:After some more research and brainstorming, I've decided I might just end up using rsync+cron, lsyncd, or DRBD (assuming it can easily make backups locally). I'd probably have to link up the external drives in RAID 0 (or use some filesystem link trickery). But I suppose such a setup would offer greater control, flexibility in disk capacities (the full system isn't so strictly limited to the capacity of the smallest member of the array), and granularity than RAID 0+1 would.I'm still open to thoughts on the mdadm RAID 0+1 solution, but does anyone have any advice on choosing backup software? For some background on my needs, I'll be using this computer as both an everyday desktop and a personal LAMP server (MySQL database files would be included in the backups).

I wanted to change the look of my login screen, so I installed gdm-2.20 thru the terminal (apt-get install) and then it asked me what I wanted the default set as and gave me 2 choices:
gdm
gdm-2.20
I picked the latter. Then I restarted the compy and... text. It keeps telling me that the X server is... not configured correctly and that I need to restart GDM when it is. So, I need to know if there is any way of rewriting the xorg.conf to work with my poc (piece of crap) video card. I have a backup of the default xorg.conf for use with NO video card... but then I wouldn't be able to use my video card...
I've been a Windows users since waaaay back when (ahh...Windows for Workgroups 3.1). I've tried Linux in the past (Mandrake many years ago), but didn't feel it was quite ready to be a Windows substitute for me.A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu (10.04) and installed it in a dual boot setup with Windows XPSP3. All seemed to be running well, until it came time to install updates in the Update Manager. First an update for GRUB, which promptly killed GRUB and left me with "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported" message and a GRUB prompt. After booting up the Windows XP install CD, I was able to rewrite the MBR and get back into Windows.
I deleted the Ubuntu installation and reinstalled it, making sure I didn't allow it to update GRUB after finishing up. The other updates listed installed fine and I was able to dual boot with ease.Another round of updates were listed yesterday when I booted up in Ubuntu, I made sure not to include the GRUB update, downloaded and installed them, rebooted and was faced with "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported" again. Argh. Once again I had to pull out the Windows CD and run FIXMBR to resolve the boot problem.I'll admit to being tempted to just go back to Windows completely (while not perfect, atleast I can get it to boot after updates 99.9% of the time) and forget the idea of running Linux if I'm going to be faced with having to reinstall the OS everytime because something killed the boot loader.
In Ubuntu 10.10 on a REALLY old laptop, everything works fine - except the system occasionally gets a lag spike, where the CPU is suddenly being throttled. This wouldn't be a problem, except my mother's using the laptop to play backing music for her choir and the CPU spikes are causing the music to stutter. After much searching and eventually resorting to TOP, I found that the CPU was being throttled every 10-20 seconds or so by a process called, "kslowd001". "sudo kill -9 `pidof kslowd001`" did nothing, nor did, "sudo killall -9 kslowd001". It doesn't want to die, it just wants to throttle the CPU, and I just want it to stop. What does this process actually do? Why can't I kill it? How do I switch it off, or otherwise stop it from throttling the CPU every couple of seconds so that we can actually listen to music or watch videos from the laptop?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just resolved a Grub problem after reinstalling XP.
See this thread: [url]
I've installed Jaunty and then Karmic in recent weeks (clean installs) after having a Jaunty WUBI install.
After the Jaunty install the sound in XP started behaving poorly,but came right after some reboots.
After the Karmic install I got no sound in XP.So I reinstalled XP and sound was ok,but I had a Grub problem and reinstalled Grub2.
This killed the sound in the newly installed XP.
I know this doesn't make much sense -Installing Grub shouldn't have anything to do with XP's sound.
The motherboard is a ASUS P5K SE with Realtek ALC883 Audio built in,but I'm using a Creative CA0106 Audigy as the sound card.
I've checked that the selected sound card in XP is still the Audigy and I've checked the driver.

Long story short my roommate has been using KDE 4.4.2 for a few weeks and enjoying it, so I figured I would give it a shot when I saw this on the Kubuntu front page. I added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to my software sources and asked kpackage kit to look for updates, it found a bunch, plus around 25 blocked updates. I figured they were blocked because they depended on some other update I was about to install. I told it to start updates and left it on its own for a while. About halfway through KDE crash handler popped up saying the network manager crashed, so I told it to restart, plugged into my wired connection, and continued updates. Once it finished, their were still 25 blocked updates to I figured a restart was in order. Once I restart I get to the log in screen, log in, and then I am prompted with this message by the KDE Crash Handler:

A quick note for other frustrated Ubuntu users out there. I have a D-Link DWA-510 PCI wireless card (RT61) that just stopped working. After wasting hours searching posts and asking for help, I've determined that there's a problem in the latest Kernel to be rolled out.
I have now installed StartUp-Manager, and used it to boot into the old 2.6.31-22 kernel still on the machine and, hey presto, wireless is working again. It seems like the simplest fix by far.
