Ubuntu :: Increasing The Time Of The Logged In Timeout?
Jan 4, 2011
I seem to be entering my password far to often. Every time I just turn my back I have been logged out!! It would be nice to increase this time out time by a couple of minutes.
logging in a server through putty in the same network when i executed last command its showing system ip logged in time and logged out time the output as followsthis is my system oot pts1 xx.xx.xx day month date time in time out timeand similarly am geeting other than this likeroot :0day month date time still logged in this is from more than 3 days its logged in
My server is keep on hanging So I have rebooted several times in the last couple of weeks, the system is eating more memory and the usage is keep on increasing and at particular time it became saturated and my server hungs. I could not find which process is eating more memory. I have used the below commands to check if any process is eating more memory but no luck. No such process are using high memory.
I have written simple TCP server-client programs in 'C' on my RHEL 5 64 bit.I want to add SEND and RECEIVE timeout for this socket; so that if server is not responding in given time, request will get timeout instead of waiting in "recv" call.But I failed to do so.
I can't seem to get last logged in dat/time for vsftpd users. They are linux users maintained within passwd groups ect ... i think this is because ftp doesn't actually give them a real session. That being true, how do i get the last logged in time for my ftp users?
I use tomcat as my server platform in Ubuntu for a war file. I know in order to get real time information about how many user are logged in, we can count how many active sessions exist by a SessionCounter code. However, I have to permit HttpSessionListener in web.xml of tomcat. From other users' experiences, the configuration is complexed and has some errors.

In order to get users'ip, in jsp, use request.getremotehost() or request.getremoteaddress() by editing the jsp file. I wonder if there's some open source software to use for these two purposes.
I have installed edu life suse 11.3 and when I logged in with GNOME 3 preview .. screen blincked 3-4 time and there was no panel after that I automatically logout from gnome3 environment. How to fix it ?
I set the default os to boot as windows 7 with a timeout of 1 second. I thought that this would be enough time to switch os ubuntu when i need to, but I am unable to. How can i reset the timeout to 3 seconds? I also cannot view the ubuntu partition within windows because of ubuntu's file system.
I was running 10.04 LTS and had decided to stick to the LTS versions as I'm now running my machine as a server and don't want to be updating regularly.Every time I logged in via SSH I got a message telling me there where packages to update including a security update. So I did a search to find out how to perform an update on Ubuntu server from the command line.What I found was to do this:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get dist-upgradeAfter doing that I rebooted but now my machine gives me this message:
init: ureadahead-other main process (794) terminated with status 4Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some timePress C to cancel all checks currently inprogressI'm not pressing C yet and leaving it alone to finish, but I noticed when the machine booted that one of the options for booting talked about Ubuntu 10.10, so I'm worried that I've updated from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 by accident?
So the thread title kinda sums it up. If i have eth186 and i reboot I have to open wicd and change it to eth187 get connectivity. I'm currently at eth200 so this has been a problem for a while.
Problem with lowering brightness and increasing it, When I press button to lower brightness it doesn't remember, but when I set it with power management it is fine.
I was playing around with the NVidia settings control panel today and I saw that its Resolution dropdown was giving me options for
1680*1050 1920*1080
My monitor supports up to 1440*900. When I selected one of the higher resolutions, it didn't look very sharp, and the text was somewhat fuzzy and lacked clarity. Was this rendering being done by the graphics card but 'compressed' by the monitor?
The status said 'switched to metamode'. I tried searching but found nothing - what exactly does MetaMode mean? I'm more interested in understanding what was happening, only experimenting with the higher resolutions. What monitor and resolution do you have?
i got low space left on my home folder .. i installed ubuntu and set home folder's size to 20 gbs and 70 gbs for my "/" partition , 2gbs for swap.Is there a way to increse those 20 gbs ? maybe take a lil from my "/" partition?
ubuntu 10.10 dual booting with xp. everything works fine but my bootup choices of ubuntu 10.10 or ubuntu recovery mode have now trebled i.e are repeated three times on boot list, with windows still as one choice at the bottom of the list. is this normal? is something wrong and do i need to do anything?
Is there anyway to get more options for desktop resolution? The max I have available right now isn't high enough. Ive read a couple of different ways to do this, but nothing that I have been able to follow.
I have a HP Mini 311c that has an ALPS touchpad. Linux Mint detects it as a mouse and so when I try to increase the speed of the mouse, nothing actually happens. I've created a script which includes just the following code:
#!bin/bash xset m 5 2
This is saves as startup-script.hl on my Desktop. I then go into Startup Applications and add the script in there. But when I reboot my Netbook the mouse is moving at its default slow speed. I've ensured the script file is allowed to execute (right click > properties > permissions) and have also tried copying it to the init.d folder with no luck.
One thing I have noticed though is that straight after I login to Mint the mouse cursor does move at the speed I want, but after a few seconds reverts back to the slow speed.
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 inside windows (windows 7) from the ubuntu home edition CD.I have allocated a disk space of 12GB. How could I increase the disk space to 20 GB without reinstalling ubuntu?
m using broadband of connect of 300mbs for which maily downloding speed varies from 20 to 30 kb/s in window but in linux it is giving only 5 kb/s maximum
Based on the reading I've done over the past 48 hours I think I'm in serious trouble here with my RAID 5 array. I got another 1 TB drive and added to my other 3 to increase my space to 3 TB...no problem.
While the array was resyncing...it got to about 40%, I had a power failure. So I'm pretty sure it failed while it was growing the array...not the partition. Next time I booted mdadm didn't even detect the array. I fiddled around trying to get mdadm to recognize my array, but no luck.
I finally got desperate enough to just create the array again...I knew the settings of my and had seen some people have success with this method. When creating it, it asked me if I was sure because the disks appeared to belong to an array already, but I said yes. The problem is when I created it, it created a clean array and this is what I'm left with.

I tried looking for backup superblock locations using e2fsck and every other tool I could find, but nothing worked. I tried testdisk which says it found my partition on /dev/md0, so I let it create the partition. Now I have a /dev/md0p1, which won't let me mount it either. What's interesting is gparted reports /dev/md0p1 as the old partition size (1.82 TB)...the data has to still be there, right?
Just a random question out of curiosity and probably ignorance. But why have updates started requiring a reboot almost every single time recently? I'm using Lucid, but the rate of required reboots was already on the up in Jaunty. As far as I understood, you should only really need to reboot if something's been changed in the Kernel - is that wrong?
Surely the updates can include restarting of demons or just the software if need be, it's starting to become like windows in this respect....
I just installed maverick on my son's netbook, and so far we like the new unity interface. The main issue is that there seems to be a maximum number of apps that can be listed under any particular category in the applications browser. So for instance when he goes to his "Games" category, it only lists applications up through S (he has a lot of games installed).
So far I haven't found a settings panel for unity. There has to be a way to bump up the maximum.
I have followed this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...lay+resolution And when I restart it goes back to having the edge of my window (scrollbar) cut off. I added the increase_resolution.sh to my startup menu but I guess I don't know the command to MAKE it start at startup. (That is what "command" means in the "Edit startup program" menu, correct?) If I go into usr/local/bin and click run it works, but if I can execute it automatically, that would be great.
Also, I have added an account(?) for my daughter and when she is finished and I try to log her out the display goes nuts and does not correct itself. I assume it has to do with this since when I restart the machine (and the script isn't running) the picture is fine again. Is there a conflict between the two accounts and this script? I'm sorry if this is not making sense, I know what I want to say, but don't have the lingo/jargon down.
As I have a opt/sybase folder in Linxs I want to increase the size of this folder how can I increase it? For example the size we mention at the time of installation Sybase is 2gb now I want to increase by 4gb how can I increase it.
I got a legacy server, and through munin I notice that periodically commited memory keep on increasing. The chart looks like a spiky sine graph, but every cycle it increase both max and minimum. After few days it will go over my physical memory it will keep on growing until the machine crash... Usually I reset the memory by rebooting the machine which is not a solution at all. Is there any way to know what process(es) that took the committed memory? Is there any way to release the committed memory without rebooting the machine? Is there any way to cure my machine from this disease? as an information, I'm using CENTOS 5.5 i686, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ this is what I get from /proc/meminfo

I downloaded Ubuntu about 5 months ago and love it.Problem is, I didn't know if I wanted to make it permanent on my computer, so I used the option which allowed me to download it as an application on my Windows Vista Control Panel.How can I increase the partition (I think I only have 9 GB left on my home folder) without loosing all of the preferences, applications, and hardware solutions that I have put on there?
