I just upgraded to 10.10 via 10.04 from 9.10, and now I'm getting an odd banner when logging in via ssh. I checked my /etc/sshd_config and it looks like Banner is disabled by default (commented out), and PrintMotd is set to no.
Code:
myuser@mylocalbox:~$ ssh myremotebox
Linux myremotebox 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.10

I performed an apt-get upgrade and now my SSH Welcome Banner looks like the following. You'll notice that the banner repeats itself. The bottom half is acutally "static" and doesn't change. The top part is what I would normally see. How do I remove the bottom portion of the banner? Or modify the banner? Using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS

I would like to do the following: Create a banner for any user logging in through ssh which warns him/her about the number of processors being used already by other users (or conversely the number of free processors). For example, if a user logged in he would then see a message like: Warning! 7 out of 8 processors are in use.I already figured out how to do a banner and with ps -e -o pcpu I can get all processes' %CPU usage. I think I would like to count the number of processes which have more than 90% CPU usage and output this number ("7" in the example) in the banner

However, I would also like to change the banner that someone sees if they attempt to use another method of connecting to my ssh server (telnet, for example). Currently, this is what happens code...
Where do I edit the telnet/ssh banner, so it isn't so easy to fingerprint my os/ssh version simply by using something such as telnet?
The file browser Nautilus displays a banner with a statement about what type of media is connected, what files are stored on the media (music on a CD, movies on a DVD, photos on a camera, etc.) and a button to open the suggested application when I insert or connect media to the computer and choose to open it in the file browser. I did not find this behaviour useful, yet. (There already is the pop-up window that is displayed when media is inserted or connected which asks what application to open.)In a specific case, where I connect my cellphone to the computer there are two notices:"The media contains digital photos [Open F-Spot Photo Manager]" and"These files are on a digital audio player [Open Banshee Media Player]"It is little useful. One is okay, but two notices take up too much screen space for displaying files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy F12 is connected to a Xerox DC432 printer on the network. The problem I'm facing is that banner sheet cannot be disable. The configuration setting on Administration->Printing showed that banner is off by default. "/etc/cups/printers.conf" file also have "JobSheets none none". I had the same problem with F11. Is there any step I'm missing? It doesn't seem to be problem of the printer itself because I could do this on a Windows OS.

I've gone into the Login Manager by running /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US as root, turned off themed greeter to enable the Dialog tab and inserted the login banner in the Greeting field. I checked the Xresources file in both /etc/kde/kdm and /etc/X11/xdm and the xlogin*greeting: field has my banner.
However when I restart the machine I am not prompted by the banner and when I select a user I am not prompted by the banner.
I'm not sure if this could be the issue but I get errors when launching kcmshell4:

I have cups 1.4.1 on ubuntu that act as print server that receive print request from Oracle Applications 11i on hp-ux and sends them to windows clients.
Clients printers are from different vendors like Samsung, HP and Kyocera.
Some printers print request with Cover Page with content of "job-id job-name job-originating-user-name job-originating-host-name job-billing" like Samsung ML-2250 or HP Laserjet 1100
but in Kyocera print without banner.

I want to automate my System-installation. So i try to make a Script that will generate the /etc/motd. Now i have the Problem that the script has some variables and after the "Hostname, OS, HW, IP" the "stars" are anyware, but not there they should. The most problem is the $OS this string can verry long or verry short be. Fedora release 12 (Constantine) or RedHat 5.4 i can do that after the variables place the "stars" on the write position?

Having a little issue with creating a login message banner in RHEL6 that uses two buttons. One for Accept which logs the user in. The second for Cancel which immediately logs the user out. I've modified the /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file to have the script, posted below, and it worked perfectly fine in RHEL5. But in 6, when you click Cancel, the user is still able to log in. It even states in the system logs that the user cancelled the login.As you can see, I have the script using the 9th field of the user's env to get the PID, and using the kill command to end the process, which should be logging the user out right away if they click the Cancel button. This works in 5 without issue (though I used -f5 in RHEL5, had to move it to -f9 for RHEL6).

I am sure that this is very simple but I can't seem to figure out how to get the bugger off of Nautilus.
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:

While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been searching on google but the only solution seems to be to change the name of the files (which didn't work). Is there any way to remove the banner? I'm not 3yrs old I know how to share files and don't need to be reminded where i can receive files.
