I have an eeePC 1005HA, with a Linux Mint 8 distro on it. Each time i start it, i slide down the lcd brightness to take the power consumption low, using the Power Manager Brightness Applet on the gnome panel and each time i restart the pc i have to repeat this over again,I'd like to make this change permanent.
View 2 RepliesI'm running 2.6.35 on a macbook Air. Since Hal is being deprecated I got rid of it but now I cannot control brightness with the keyboard.Looking at the code on gnome-power-manager, if it doesn't find hal it defaults to xrandr, but I couldn't find a way of controlling brightness with xrandr. Also, I don't see any keybindings on XF86MonBrightness{Down,UP} with gnome-keybindings-properties.I'm loading mactel's nvidia_bl module which creates /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight and from there I can just adjust brightness by editing the corresponding file.

This script can also be called from a panel launcher (with ./<scriptname> if it is in $HOME). It will not disable the power manager even though the process disappears from the system monitor. The "if" condition is necessary because SIGHUP will return an error if the process doesn't exist.
If you want a bash command, add this to $HOME/.bashrc:
# The following cannot be implemented as an alias

It seems that the brightness applet of Maverick has some bugs. I can adjust the brightness of my laptop using the Fn keys, but the notification bubble does not appear. (You know, the one that appears at the upper right hand corner of the screen when you get notifications.) Also tried adding the brightness applet to a panel, but does nothing when I try to fiddle with the slider. And one more thing, when I unplug my laptop from the power adapter, it doesn't scale down the brightness automatically, the same way when I plug it back in, the brightness doesn't scale up.

Recently, I get the following problem: At the automatic connection, I get the message: Network manager applet (/usr/bin/mn-applet) needs default keyering. As I don't know what it is to type it and then, deny or OK, it doesn't get connected to my wireless network.

If i reboot the computer, the power button will work but if i suspend and resume, it doesnt work again.
The computer is built on an Asus M3N78-VM mobo (2GB RAM/Athlon3200+ single core).
acpi_listen detects the button press.
Any thoughts?
I have Fedora 15 gnome 3 installed on my new laptop. When my system runs on battery my power management keeps changing my screen brightness. It keeps dimming my backlight. In the GUI of Power Management I cant find any option to change this setting. How can I do that through Command Line
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I've been looking to customize what's given as my command prompt, and I learned how to do this by entering PS1="desired text" which is remarkably straight forward.
I'm a little stuck on how to make this permanent though. If you just type in that command, then when you close that terminal session and open a new one, it resets to the old/default prompt. I read the tutorial at:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-...up-prompt.html
and it referred to editing the .bashrc file in ubuntu. I found the bash.bashrc file in /etc/ and edited the line that said PS1=, however it didn't change my command prompt. I searched for other files relating to bash and in clear instances that PS1= was given, I changed it to see if the command prompt would change. This has been to no avail so far though.
Does anyone know which file needs to be edited/what needs to be done in order to make a customization of the command prompt permanent?

In this link, the last poster describes a way to disable tap click which I find VERY useful, but the thing is, after I reboot it goes away. Is there anyway to make this command permanent?
I use Ubuntu 10.04 and after installing the driver for my onboard video card, I can no long boot into Ubuntu. I'm thinking that if I was somehow able to remove it, this might fix the problem. Is there a way to do this, possibly from the boot cd?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince the 10.10 upgrade my mouse clicks on my laptop have been behaving rather oddly. Sometimes it randomly does a middle click when i'm doing a left click, which is really annoying because it means that sometimes tabs close or my text gets random bits of text appearing in it. I've found that running this command "synclient tapbutton2=2 tapbutton3=0 rtcornerbutton=0 rbcornerbutton=0 clickfinger3=0" fixes it, but only temporarily, sometimes it only lasts like 10 minutes or so, other times it lasts till reboot. So, is there anyway to make these changes permanent?

i has setup a persistent DNS cache to improve my web-browsing. it works wonders and with my ICC built firefox my web-browsing is laser-fast, pretty much like using internet explorer in windows! however, everytime i reboot, my modifications to /etc/resolv.conf have been replaced... 1st. the file must contain:
# Generated by NetworkManager (obviously modified by this)
nameserver 127.0.0.1 <----this is lost on reboot, and is needed to make it all work
nameserver 209.226.175.223
nameserver 198.235.216.134
i have tried to add this to - System/administration/network, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. 2nd. my next problem is that when fedora 12 starts up,i need it to start "dnsmasq".i have tried to add it as a startup application, but it doesn't start automatically.so i end up having to start it manually everytime:
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
it is annoying, but so far i just deal with it, because my browsing is that much faster! i am planning to post a tutorial for those interested in faster web-browsing in linux, but until i can make the changes perminent there isn't much point.
PS: i have tried to write a shell script to do this and every which way i try it fails

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just booted to Puppy (for the first time in my life) on a 6 y/o amd type with a 40Gb HD, Ram: 512.I would like to make a permanent install of puppy onto the HD, I have read various pieces on how to install, defraging, repartitioning, differing file systems. However, i am a bit lost. The computer will be used for e-mail, web browsing, and watching the odd film (films installed on the drive) - I am unsure as to the best combination of file types and partition in order to keep puppy happy and keep some compatibility with the world outside of linux.
For instance, could i have a small partition with the puppy install and setting, and the rest on a format that would be compatible with windows/mac/linux? If so, how do I do this, pls bare in mind that my windows install is running but incomplete. I have the feeling this will be a really simple problem for someone to help me with,

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe idea is that I got to grips with Linux a couple of times in the past; most recently in a Radio Astronomy class (where we had to use openSUSE and terminals 24/7). I loved it so much that I fired up Wubi on my laptop and I am having a play.
Then I loved it even more.
So here's the plan:
Find Windows (Vista) CD *sigh*
Get 500 GB external Hard Drive
Backup files to HD (60 GB max)
Reformat Laptop & Reinstall Windows
====
To my understanding, this gives me a blank slate with a lot of room to play with because of the external HD. If this is not possible/too risky etc. then what are the best alternatives?
The plan is to make my primary OS Ubuntu. The way I figured, to keep things simple, is to keep the laptop's HD with Windows as 'normal'. I would thus install Ubuntu to the external HD, and put my files etc. on that.
Now, is that possible for a clean installation? Ideally, it would be fantastic if the boot can be configured so it would boot Ubuntu if the HD is connected, and Windows if not.
just can't find the answer for this one (after Google and these forums) So I want to configure my Synaptics touchpad in this fashion:
Code:
synclient RTCornerButton=8 RBCornerButton=10 LTCornerButton=11 LBCornerButton=12 FastTaps=1 This line of code does what it's intended of it. However, the changes made don't really stick after a system reboot.I'll explain:
So, the "FastTaps" part works flawlessly (as intended). However, the corners bit doesn't work after system reboot!...and weird enough, if I set up a start up script with that bit of code on it it'll only remap the last two corners (LT and LB), because RT and RB always get automatically set to "2" and "3". It's obvious then that those corners are getting remaped somewhere I haven't found yet. I've already tried ppa:yurivkhan/ppa and adding new options to "usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf" to no avail either. how to make the remap of touchpad corners permanent? P.S. - I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Macbuntu.
I would like to make group changes on serial ports permanent. I can become root and use chgrp:
chgrp uucp /dev/ttyaa00
but it only lasts until reboot. I think I need to add this line to a startup file but not sure where. I want this to work in run level 3 and 5 (at least). I have a digi portserver and their realport software. The ports are /dev/ttyaa00 through /dev/ttyaa07 and are in group root on startup. I want them in uucp so any user in uucp can use them. This is for F10.
I recently compile Kernel 2.6.34 (to fix the AMD PowerNow issue with 1055T processor, and it worked!) However, the device
/dev/shm
starts up at boot as Read-Only.
Google Chrome requires this device to be user-writable, or it won't start up. Presumably, the stock kernels (and all that are updated) have it set to User-Write. I have not noticed any other ill effects with the permission being read-only. If I do:
sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm
Everything will work from there, but each time I reboot, I have to do that. How do I make that permission-change permanent?
I set up a squid transparent proxy and I have a problem with an iptable rules. I have a rule to redirect all request to port 80 to go on port 3128. To do so, I'm using this iptables command :
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
This command is working like a charm. The only problem is, for some unknown reasons, this rule will be dropped at some point. I did not manage to identify what is causing this to happen. It occurs during night, but I have nothing about that in my log files. messages / firewall / ...) The only way I managed to reproduce this 'dropping' is this one: I type the command like as root. The command is effective and working fine. I open yast, I go to the firewall module, the I do a simple "save changes and restart firewall" (without changing anything). As soon as this process is finished, the iptables rule is gone.
-How can I make this rule permanent ?
-Is there a place where I can launch a script executing this rule, after the yast firewall module is 'touched' or something ?
