Sep 1, 2011I don't recall my Ubuntu password.**
I found instructions regarding recovery.
They involve pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 while booting the Ubuntu live CD.
If I allow the live CD to boot, I arrive at a Ubuntu GUI.
However, if I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the monitor (HDMI TV) goes blank and indicates "no signal
correcting the password from a GUI (can I just go to a command prompt from there somehow, and work from that command prompt?) or getting my video to display when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
** (I remember trying to set up the system with NO password).
It's absurd to require one.
Especially so if a person with a live CD can simply change it (I guess at least the change would be detected).

Ubuntu :: Lost BOTH Panels / Command Line Instructions To Get Them Back?
Mar 26, 2009I tried a program called BarPanel, which replaces the Gnome Panels. The installation instructions told me to download the program installer (the program installs automatically for Debian/Ubuntu users). Then I had to go to System > Preferences > Sessions to remove the gnome-panel entry and add the BarPanel one. So far so good. On re-starting, the new panels were installed to my desk top in bright green! The problem was that a lot of the icons don't work. The action menu does nothing and there is no entry for Sessions in the System menu, so I can't go back and undo. I have re-installed gnome-panel under Synaptic, without any success. I un-installed BarPanel, so I now don't have any panels at all now! One good thing is that I have Cairo-dock on my desktop, so I have access to several programs, including the terminal.
Can someone out there give me the command line instructions to get the gnome panels back.

General :: Lost Command Line Prompt After Starting Totem?
Feb 11, 2010At the Command Line Prompt I am able to start some Applications (such as openoffice.org or evolution) and the command line prompt re-appears after program is launched and I can continue working in that Terminal. However, other Applications, such as Totem or Blackboard will launch from the Terminal but the Prompt does not re-appear. Where Totem is concerned I get a message stating "sha module is deprecated use hashlib module instead". Where Blackboard is concerned the command line does not reappear. I have to use Ctrl + C to get the command line back but this closes the application as well! Or, I have to open a new Terminal. why some applications will start from the command line and others do not? How do you get the prompt back (other than q or Ctrl + c) thanks to all and kindest regards ( I am using Ubuntu 9.04)

Mar 26, 2011I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...

Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
Red Hat :: Turning Ruby On Rails Ubuntu Command Into Redhat Command
Dec 2, 2008I'm the noobiest noob you'll find on here. I'm having trouble getting ruby on rails to work with mysql on redhat. So on their forum I asked how to install the latest "sqlite" database package on linux.They told me to run.Now, I don't think I need "sudo" because I am the root user on my database, and I don't think I can use "apt-get" because I'm using redhat, not ubuntu.
1) Is there a way of running the above command on redhat? (A redhat command for installing things?)
2) How can I be sure I'm using redhat and not some other OS?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Bash Command History Update Before Execution Of Command
Jun 7, 2010Bash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT.However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again).
I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm?
General :: How Does Cp Command Determine Source And Destination Locations In Command?
Apr 14, 2011When you run the following cp command in the BASH terminal, how does Linux know which files are the source and which are the destination when copying multiple files from one location to another?How does Linux know that the services, motd, fstab, and hosts files are the source and the /home/fred/my_dir is the destination?This question came up in a Linux class and I was not sure of the answer. I was thinking it is based on the source path entered ending with a file path and the destination being a directory, but was not sure.
