Ubuntu :: Create A Command That Can Be Typed In Any Old Terminal Window And Display Screen For Anyone Who Typed It
May 24, 2011i want to create a command that can be typed in any old terminal window that would display a message on screen for anyone who typed it. is this possible? i just want to do this for the randomness of it.
and cuz i need to get used to messing with terminal windows.
for example i would like to have "rawr" setup as a command to display a message on screen in a popup window with an "Ok" button to close the popup. i googled it but all i came up with was creating commands to launch applications without having to type the full path/command. not what i'm looking for. thanks in advance!!!

Mar 29, 2010If I'm getting good at anything with Fedora, it would be making mistakes. I have Fedora 12 installed and it was running fine until I attempted to set the path in bashrc and cshrc for jdk. Now I am unable to login using the only user account I created at install. When I enter my password the login screens goes blank then my mouse pointer appears with the circling dashed loading symbol for a few secs and then brings me back to the login screen asking for my password again.

Aug 18, 2010Having just installed fc13 and downloaded the KDE package I attempted to log out as user and back in as root, but I keep getting a message about the wrong password. This is odd as the same password works in terminal if I try to become a SuperUser. I have tried turning off SELinux to no avail. I cannot log in from cold as root,only as user.

Mar 29, 2010Does anyone know of any (GNU) software that can scan in letters that have been typed, and encode the text to unicode/ASCII/etc. I've looked for "Handrwriting recognition" (figuring if some software can interpret handwriting it could interpret typewriter text) in the Ubuntu software center and on an internet search, but all the hits are for tablet and stylus type programs.

Jul 31, 2014Having installed Debian 7 on an old machine from a Liinux Format Magazine DVD I was unable to log in as a specific user. I can login as root and use useradd etc but when I logout of root I still cannot login as a user and nor will the machine accept my root password. I have to shutdown and reboot to get back into root. I'm using O'Reilly's Linux Pocket Guide from 2004 for the commands. Could it be that things have changed?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Alt Key / Tool Run To Examine The Key Strokes As They Are Typed?
Jan 13, 2010Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on Dell XPS 8000
This one is really busting my balloons. I have been running my new machine for a couple of weeks now. I have either beaten most issues into submission or come up with work arounds or just learned to live with them. Except for this one...
About once a day, I cannot duplicate the circumstances, my Alt key ceases to function in Ubuntu. My left hand has over the years evolved into a specialized tool which presses Alt-Tab and Alt-F4 instinctively. When these do not work it is driving me nuts.
I have determined that this is not a hardware issue. I generally have a VMWare virtual machine running and Alt-Tab and other Alt key combinations work in the VM at the same time as they are not working on the host.
I must at a minimum logout and back in get the Alt key to be recognized again in the host.
Is there a tool which I can run to examine the key strokes as they are typed? something like the keyboard tester which runs during installation?
Programming :: Create Doc Comments In Vim Using Pre-typed Text?
Jul 5, 2011I currently have a set up in vim so that when I type "<leader>ns" it takes any given word and turns it into a sub "sub word(){}". I also have it when I type "<leader>nc" it creates a doc comment section that is "blank". I was wondering if someone could help me out with combining the two so that when I typed <leader>ns it would create the doc comments with the word already in the Subroutine: line and create the new sub routine aswell. I'm trying to understand what I have (downloaded from the internet) and only doing so so.
Code:
" Put cursor over word and hit ,ns to create new Sub

Slackware :: Start A Terminal With Pre-typed Text?
Apr 17, 2011Does anyone have tips for starting a virtual-terminal with pre-typed text?
This starts 'xterm' and keeps open at desired directory:
Code:
xterm -title installed software packages -e 'cd /var/log/packages && /bin/bash'
But I want to be even more lazier and have 'ls | grep -i ' already pre-typed so I can quickly search/ls packages by name.
Code:
david@slackware13:/var/log/packages$ ls | grep -i <READY FOR MY TEXT>
Code:
david@slackware13:/var/log/packages$ ls | grep -i CALC

Fedora Security :: Accidentaly Typed Password In The Terminal?
Nov 30, 2010It does happen occasionally that I type a password in the wrong place or at the wrong time when I'm working with multiple terminal windows. It's not a frequent occurrence but sometimes it does indeed occur (most recently as an argument to g++ instead of the password prompt to scp).Would you guys consider it adequate to clear the view with "clear" and the history with "history -c" or should I change my password after such a mishap? I realize that this should probably not be a problem with my computer at home as I'm the only user but when I log onto school (where we mostly use ubuntu, solaris) would the same precautions be enough?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Log In As A Super User?
Apr 22, 2010Recently I installed Ubuntu using WUBI. During installation it asked for a user name and password which I filled in. That user name and password are the same that I now use to log into ubuntu. But now I am unable to log into super user using the terminal. When I try to log in to the super user account it says that the password is wrong. During the whole installation process only once did wubi ask me to enter password and I am using the same password. My windows user name and password are the same as what I entered during installation.

Jul 30, 2010I was apparently invaded this morning via my private FTP server. The invader logged in with my user name and apparently knew the password for the account,The system is Hardy LTS 8.04.4, fully updated. I have backups that pre-date the intrusion, stored on another system, so am not totally averse to reformatting and reloading everything -- although I'd like to avoid it if possible.The "passwords.txt" file contains only a few passwords for online forums, including this one; it does not include anything critical such as banking information. I'm most concerned about the implications of the ssh config data...
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: User Unable To Login
May 2, 2011After my last upgrade from 10.? to 10? my users' (kids) were unable to login. I tried to fix it and could not find anything wrong. Now I have upgraded to 11.? and the problem persists. The users could still login by selecting an older version at the prompt during boot up.
I deleted there account and reinstall the user and still they could not login. I added a completely new test user and could not log that one in either. The system excepts the password, waits a several seconds, then the mouse curser changes to the spinning circle. The hard drive lights flash for many seconds then eventually the hard drive stops flashing. I have let it sit a long time and it never continues. Tonight I came home tried to login and it is doing the same thing to me tonight. I ran fix packages, fix grub and everything else I could think of and could not log in.
Finally I logged in to the oldest version on there and it let me in.? The screens are all the same but the desk top is entirely different? I have never seen one like this. I think its like the new version of fire fox, with every thing moved around. Icons down the side. Menu's hidden at the top? I can probably get used to that but I need to able to login, and my user's to login?

Debian Multimedia :: Type "xlock" In A Terminal And It Would Lock The Screen Until Came Back And Typed Password?
Feb 10, 2011When I was using AntiX, I liked how I could just type "xlock" in a terminal and it would lock the screen until I came back and typed my password. I saw that there was no "xlock" package, so googling around, I saw it was replaced with xlockmore and xlockmore-gl, neither of which there seems to be a package for in the Squeeze repositories. I tried xscreensaver, but I prefer the simplicity of xlock (and I like that it doesn't leave a daemon runnig when not in use). Is there a way to safely install it, or should I just be looking for an alternative?

It came time to add User to the sudoers file: so I decided to simple add User to the admin group: usermod -a -G admin user Then I used visudo to check if admin users had been set to receive sudo privileges. I uncommented the line admin ALL=(ALL) ALL. Nothing happened. I've even tried to add user directly into the sudoers file as user ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL, but that failed too.
