How would I edit, from Terminal, the programs that run at boot? I'm making a project that's actually kind of cool and I need to add a program and remove a program, all without using a GUI.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a program that uses Open Motif to create all of the widgets, including the Open File dialog box (obviously). However, Open Motif being kinda old-timey, 80's vintage, and for the most part now an abandoned project, it is quite clunky. So, actually what I need to do is to open some files located on my work server. I have already successfully connected to the relevant server directories with Samba, and with programs built with GTK+ (such as GIMP) I can open files across the network because I have created a bookmark in Nautilus, and those bookmarks appear in the Open File dialog box created by GTK+. Now, Open Motif is different: it doesn't see network locations, orNautilus shortcuts. When I type "smb://serveripyadayada" in the search folder, it really doesn't like it and complains. So, what do I do? Can I get somehow Open Motif to open a network location? Or can I do a run-around and place a shortcut in the file system that points to the network location?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of 11.4 and I LOVE IT!!! One of the little issues I am having though, is that there is no login screen. No matter what settings I change it still auto-logs me in.
I am using GRUB and the Boot Loader Location has both "Boot from MBR" and "Boot from Root Partition". Is this right? I would think that I should just boot from the MBR.
I renamed /home to /localhome and I'm getting an error message when I run 'Places->Videos'. The error is: 'Could not open location 'file:///home/<username>/Videos' Error stating file '/home/<username>/Videos: No such file or directory.
I'm using /localhome because /home is used for automounting home directories at my work. I prefer to use a local account rather than the NIS/NFS account.
What do I modify to have this reflect my new home directory location?
I got squid3 installed on ubuntu server 10.4. I believe it is up and running as I can browse the internet on my other computers.I followed one of the tutorials on the net and looked at others for guide as well.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhere are the "System Log Viewer" config files stored? I know most have been moved into /var/rsyslog.d/ folder but where are the users config file stored? I restored my local /home to a fresh install and the Log viewer is looking for log files from the OLD install.
So there must be a config file somewhere in /home/$user that the system log viewer is reading from as well as the rsyslog.d folder...
On a modern system--Lucid, SATA 3.0--does the location of a file on the physical disk make an appreciable difference to its access speed? If so, is there a (safe) way to put a file in a particular place on the disk?
I ask because I would like to reserve some space on disk to remain unused without messing with the partition table. My thought was to do this by using dd to create some large files (4 Gb each, or so) containing zeros.But obviously I would like to put them on the slowest part of the disk, as they won't be used for anything.

I'd rather be able to say find this file and open it. I know there are commands like locate and find to find a file or directory, but I'm not sure whether these can (or even should) be utilized in what I'm trying to do. Basically, what is the simplest way to open a file with a program w/o specifying its exact location? (In cases where there isn't another file with the same name in the entire system, and cases where there are multiple).
Let's say we have machine 1 and machine 2. Machine 2, which is linux based, is receiving a file (let's say cat.jpg sent via SCP from machine 1 (doesn't really matter which operating system..) How can I know in machine 2, that the file has finished uploading from machine 1 ? Please note that by "knowing" I mean by running a command (via a cron that runs every minute), and not by an event driven way ("make the scp issue a command when it is finished uploading"). Another limitation I have is that I can't change anything in machine 1 or in the way it SCP files.
If it really matters: the files being transferred are video file, MP4 extension. machine 2 is ubuntu 10.10
I have an application which looks in a particular directory for it's settings. For example varsetting.txt. These settings are stored in a text format and can be edited easily. I would prefer to keep this setting.txt file on a USB stick rather than the HDD for portability so that I can easily use the same settings on two linux PC's without having to redit them everytime. I have tried but cannot manipulate the application to look in a different location for this file, do you know if it is possible to "point" linux to another location when looking for the file?

View 13 Replies View RelatedFor security reasons I need to ensure all of my users screensaver is set to come on after 10 minutes of inactivity. My thought was to find the screensaver config file, modify a setting in the file to 10 minutes and change ownership of the file to be root (so the user can't undo my changes either in the file or via the gui). However, I can't find the screensaver config file to do this. I'm running Centos 5.2. Anyone know where I can find the screensaver config file?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI went to Startup Programs and put "compiz --replace" as a load script command, now Gnome, let alone a login screen or command line, wont load. I'm trying to find which file has the boot scripts so I can use a live CD to edit them and save me the slight trouble of reloading the OS (which wouldent be that big of a deal as I haddent done anything with it yet). Not sure if perhaps I should have made a .sh file and directed that path to startup programs instead. I'm rather new to linux and was following some (or at least what looked like) straight forward for dummies instructions.
