Ubuntu Multimedia :: Xorg Will Not Turn Off - Sudo Service GDM Stop

Mar 1, 2010

I'm trying to install Nvidia drivers 190.53 on my karmic with a Nvidia 9500GT. I've downloaded the file from the Nvidia website. I've done this before on previous installations and everything went fine, however, with karmic turning off the xserver is a bit of a trick.

/etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't work
sudo service gdm stop doesn't work
sudo killall gdm doesn't work.

After I run sh ./NVIDIA-linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run a notice pops up and tells me I'm running x and I need to exit out. I thought I did. I've looked at the instructions on the Nvidia website, but I don't remember it being that complicated before and am a little nervous about removing files I don't know what they do.

Ubuntu :: Sudo Xorg -configure" And "sudo Xorg --configure" Both Return "xorg Command Not Found

Mar 28, 2011

Alright setting up a friends netbook, display has been a little iffy (slow. glxgears is giving like 100fps). Couple issues: xorg.conf doesn't exist (i know thats typically not an issue) and "sudo xorg -configure" and "sudo xorg --configure" both return "xorg command not found."

glxinfo say that its using Mesa for the software rasterizer and that the driver is from mesa. lspci says the VGA controller is from Intel. I'm thinking xorg is defaulting to vesa for drivers, but I need to know how to change that to the open source intel driver

Ubuntu Installation :: OpenLDAP Slapd / Can't Stop The Service With Service Slapd Stop?

Oct 20, 2010

I am trying to setup LDAP server on Ubuntu 10.04 and am sticking to the old /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file configuration.

I had to comment ldapi:/// from /etc/default/slapd since it was giving 'Address already in use error'. Also had to juggle with pid directory and file issues

After that I was able to start the slapd daemon (service slapd start) but now I am running into multiple issues:

1. Can't stop the service with service slapd stop

Code:
## Service stop returns 0, maybe because start-stop-daemon is not giving error
#service slapd stop
Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
# echo $?
0

Will switching to BDB database resolve this ?Also can't I slapcat at non-root user ??

Ubuntu :: Sudo Ifconfig Eth0 Down Vs Sudo /etc/init.d/networking Stop

Jun 10, 2010

explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?

Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop

Ubuntu :: Turn Indicator-sound-service Off?

May 24, 2011

to turn off the sound icon in the indicator-applet since it never loads right on the theme for one user and i already set gnome-volume-control-applet to run at startup to replace it i just cant figure out how to remove it without un-installing it which would effect all usersedit seems resizing the panel will make the default icon work so i make a script using gconf-tool to change the size 2 times at startup to fix it

Debian Configuration :: Service Settings Safe To Turn Off?

May 12, 2010

My system goes through slow periods where it just crawls and others where it's fine, but I'm wondering which service settings are OK to just shut off to give me a bit more oomph when I boot up.The others I'm pretty OK with like spam assassin, dictionary server and so on, but some of the others i wonder if they only serve to slow things down..Also..I live in a very dusty environment and I KNOW the fans and other parts get caked with dust and it wouldn't surprise me if the dust got so bad it just stops the fans completely so once in a while I use my air compressor to blow the crud out and I usually get covered myself, but how safe is using the compressor? It's not the type that typically fills up with condensed water droplets so that isn't a super critical issue..It's a small 1 hp deal, elect drive and so on.. Safe enough? It's all I have and/or can afford..

Ubuntu :: Stop Services Without Sudo?

Sep 12, 2010

I am working on a notebook which has both gnome and wmii. I am trying to find a way to script stopping various services when booting into wmii however the "service xxx stop" requires sudo..Is there a way to allow a user to manage services without the need for sudo (aside from password-less sudo)? I assume there are permissions complications with writing the PIDs, etc. Is there a 'simple' solution? Even possible passwordless sudo just for the 'service' command?

Fedora Networking :: Can't Stop Named Service

Nov 30, 2009

I am new in configuring named.I want to set my firewall (Fedora 11) as a name server. The local domain is a Windows domain. I'd like internal users translate domain name into IP on this server when they go to the internet. After reading some posts on the web, I set up named as below. It seems the named does the job but with some problems.

1) When I start the server, I couldn't find the named process even if the file "named" is in /etc/init.d. I can browse Internet on the server with domain name (DNS works locally). But internal users couldn't get the domain name translated. If I shutdown the server at this stage, it will shutdown within 1 minute.

2) If I run "service named start" after the server boot up, I see process "named" and named work okay. Both internal user and local host can browse Internet with domain name. However, any command starting with "service named" has no response after this, such as "service named status" or "service named stop". I can see it shows "stopping named" and this last forever. I have to kill the process then restart named server so that named may run again.

3) If I shutdown the server now, it will take 4-5 minute instead of 1 minute in 1). The shutdown stuck at "shutdown named" for 4 minutes. Even if I kill process named before the shutdown, it will take 4-5 minutes.

It took me a week on this issue. I appreciate if you could take a look my configure files and guide me through this.

Jul 19, 2010

I am a Linux newbie using Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7 (its almost similar to Redhat Linux). While going through tutorials, I tried to configure the DCHP service and set it to start after every boot via the command

chkconfig dhcpd on

When I boot my Linux,the OS hangs when it tries to start the dhcpd service.Thus,I cannot log into my Linux and shutdown the service. How can I go around this and shutdown the DHCP service to enable my Linux to fully load after a boot?

Debian :: Default Service Start / Stop Priorities?

Jun 29, 2010

Service(init.d) scripts in Redhat have default start/stop priorities commented inside, like:

Code:
...
# chkconfig: 2345 25 90
...
Second number is start priority.

But debian does not include this info. Just in case service symlinks from all runlevels are removed how do I know which priority to specify?

Fedora Hardware :: How To Stop Xorg.Conf Auto Generation

Apr 2, 2010

I am on a Fedora 12 box, and it's my job to do some custom configs to xorg.conf. To start this, I have to remove a bunch of devices' entries and modify others. We're using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and they work fine except that something - perhaps the NVIDIA X Server Settings app - keeps modifying the xorg.conf. After I write a change to see if it will work or break the machine, I have to restart the entire computer, as restarting X by itself blanks out the monitor so that I can't even see a virtual console. After the restart, X starts just fine and goes into GNOME, but as soon as I look at the xorg.conf, everything I've removed or commented out from the original, auto-generated file has reappeared. How to stop this infuriating behavior so that I can rewrite xorg.conf and make the changes stick?
