I often use the terminal to shut down my system whilst watching TV in bed, I use SUDO AT TIME and HALT.This works a treat most of the time, but a couple of time this week I have woken in the night and the PC/TV is still running? Maybe I mis typed somthing? Is there any way I can view previous terminal sessions to check ???

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just added 8 additional vncserver sessions(Xvnc) (using a well-documented procedure my predecessor used) to my RH Enterprise 2.4.21-4 (OK it went by fast) server. This brings the number of session listed in my /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to ~32. Applications and terminals now seem to choose if they will open or not in the Xvnc session and not all sessions start at boot. I can start them manually, and they will work, but then they stop working properly. You can open a session, view the active desktop, click on menus and associated drop-down items to try and open apps, but the apps/terminals just won't open. Is there a limit to the number Xvnc Sessions that can be managed? If so, what is it? This happens whether I try to connect from a Winddows box or another Linux box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe other day I was practicing some of the famous Awk One-liners and noticed something interesting in the bash shell on ubuntu 9.04. Some specific awk commands would execute correctly but when I tried to use an up arrow to re-run the command that particular command was not present in my history. Is this an issue specific to me? specific to awk? Completely random?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was doing some rather lengthy procedures using a terminal. Then I wrote script using Kate, and input it into that terminal, and then realized that I was logged in as a normal user in that terminal as opposed to a superuser, which is how I was logged in at the other terminal. I've never noticed this before because I've never done anything that takes this long.
Is there any way to link all terminal sessions in such a way that they all show me logged in as the same user? I don't even know if this is even important, but I don't want to risk losing any things that I had done.
I'm trying to set up automatic recording of user sessions when they login without their knowledge. I tried sticking the script command into /etc/profile and but that didn't really work. I also tried /etc/bashrc but that had the same affect.I have also tried setting the shell in /etc/passwd to SHELL=/bin/bash /usr/bin/script -q /testing.txt.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a bash script that would save the current state of my konsole terminals and sessions. I'm using KDE3.X and for some reason the "profile" save does not save the current working directories... Anyway, I would like to know if there is an elegant way to obtain the current workdir of each terminal and session ? I've managed to do something with a clever use of DCOP extended functions, but it requires me to start every konsole with the --script option enabled, and I don't want to do that.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know how to redirect the output of a terminal to a file. For example, if I want to list all the files in ~/Documents and output to a file called test.txt, I would do this: ls ~/Documents > test.txt The question is, can I copy the output to test.txt AFTER I have carried out the command? This would mean that I wouldn't have to know in advance whether I want to copy the output to file. I want to do something like this: ls ~/Documents Then this: <bash command for copying standard output to test.txt>
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter the update to 11.04 I don't see the non-graphical terminal view any more. I run a fully encrypted system that requires password entry after the grub boot option selection. I can blindly type in my password and the system boots fine into the KDE logon screen. However, I can't see any terminal output when I use ALT-F1 to go to the non-graphical shell. It is there though, because I can blindly type in my login info and run commands from this "hidden" shell.
how I can get back my non-graphical display?
When I boot the old kernel, everything works as expected. No strange black screen but the usual text console.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to get the terminal displayed on my serverbox to show up in a terminal on my laptop. I have a minecraft server running on ubuntu server edition 10.04 on a headless server. I also have a monitor, but it's a big bulky CRT and my girlfriend doesn't like having a huge amount of stuff tucked behind our chair where the router is (wifi wasn't working right, nor is it stable).
Essentially, when I ssh into the box, it creates a new terminal for me to input things on. That's nice when I need to edit stuff in the background, but when I want to input commands on the server directly, there's no real way to do that without blindly typing on my keyboard on the box itself. Not to mention, I can't see anything if something goes wrong. A friend of mine mentioned the 'screen' command, and that sort of works I guess, but it still doesn't show the minecraft server output, nor let me input.
tl:dr;
is there a way to get a physical terminal output to display on a remote ssh terminal screen?
Here is my problem, which I think also posted here already but cant find enough solution. I successfully access the web server to its localhost using its IP address (Sample: http://192.168.1.100/index.php), but when I try to access it on other terminal which are also connected to the same network, I cant view it. But it seems that they can both communicate to each other when I ping it respectively both sides.
how can i set something to view the page outside the local server.
When I open a terminal and start the 'top' command to view the running processes, in the summary view I get 4 users. I guess that in addition to my account the root runs in the background but who are the other 2??
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsually when i did, for example:
:~/> vi documents/<tab><tab>
i would get list of files in 'documents' dir on my konsole.
:~/> vi documents/
doc1 doc2 doc3
Bu now in 11.4 when i do that i get whole path, like this for example:
:~/> vi documents/<tab><tab>
:~/> vi documents/
documents/doc1 documents/doc2 documents/doc3
how to make it look "old" style?
I am using Fedora 13. Is there a log file in system I can view to see the list of command lines I had entered in terminal so far?
Commands like
Code:
ls
cd /usr/local
emacs test.txt
which are logged in the log file.
Is there a software I can use to display on a terminal that would display traffic or log information to a display terminal. I have CentOS on all my boxes. I would like to have a terminal up and have it show things like requests to the DNS servers, apache or maybe anything else. Especially errors. I know if I had something just displaying live from the web server it would go by so fast you couldn't see it so I would have to slow it down or something.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Lucid Lynx 10.04 installed on my eee 900ha and I'm unable to log in to my desktop.
Earlier today I logged in successfully and I uninstalled a couple of unused programs (pitivi, evolution, fspot, and another that I can't remember). I then shut down the computer. Later when I booted the computer back up, I was greeted with the usual ubuntu login screen but I noticed that there were no options in the sessions drop-up menu. I entered my login information and pressed enter, and the screen went black, then went back to the login screen again.
I'm using gnome.
i have tightVNCserver running to provide me with a means of working on my machine whilst the wife watches mythTV on the (physical) display.
in 8.04 i used to have "gnome-panel &" as a line in my /home/mike/.vnc/xstartup file, and it worked fine, when i logged in via VNC i had a nice gnome panel to start apps from etc.
since 10.04 this stopped working and i had to change gnome-panel to gnome-session. this works... but now it loads everything up in the VNC window just like it does in my main window. this is a problem because it loads things like mythTV front end and so on... i don't want it to do that in my VNC window.
does anyone know how it might be possible for me to have two different 'types' of gnome session? Settings i change in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications are common to both my VNC and my physical displays so i can't turn off mythTVfrontend in there to solve the problem.
i'm not sure why gnome-panel stopped working in my xstartup file, but it happened when i upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. if i try it in the ugly xterm window on VNC i get:
Code:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
** (gnome-panel:26161): WARNING **: Cannot register the panel shell: cannot connect to the session bus. the RANDR stuff i get when i launch gnome-session too so i think its the second bit that's the real problem.
Is it way to have more "guest" sessions (more than one)?

Will it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine. Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?
Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.
i've been searching for an hour and i have no idea how to list that. the closest thing to what i need is ck-list-sessions, but it doesn't show my freenx display. i need something that would show all my displays running.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI assume that any .desktop file that is found inside code...
but I do not see an entry for it in the list of sessions. The same is true if I go to "System -> Administration -> Login Screen" - I don't see all sessions in the list for the default sessions.
what's going on here? Do I need to tell GDM to go through this list again? I've tried restarting GDM but no success. This is ubuntu 11.04 btw.
My KDE sessions freeze randomly- while only doing some basic work, browsing etc. Keyboard and mouse do not respond and I can just do the hard reset. how do I find what might be wrong? Where in the logs do I look??
