So I was fiddling around with things earlier today, trying to figure out how to use ssh to remotely view a desktop, and I accidentally set the DISPLAY property to something else using Code: export DISPLAY=something I can't remember.But I don't know how to set it back, nor what it should be set back to.
View 1 RepliesI try to set up a Ubuntu server that links 4 PC/Mac machines. How can I modify a folder property so that my linked PC can access (Create and delete) while the Mac can't or the other way around? Now, I have created a folder from Ubuntu, It lets all or none linked computers to have the same right.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.10 and have a 2TB external hard drive where I store several hundred movies. Each movie is contained in its own folder (in case the movie is broken up into more than 1 file). All the movie folders are contained in one "Movies" folder, so a typical movie location would be something like:
/media/MyBook/Movies/The Matrix/The Matrix (disc1).avi
Because of this, my movies are in alphabetical order, which is nice if I'm looking for a specific movie, but I'd also like to classify each movie into one or more genres. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a certain type of movie, and don't want to just browse aimlessly through the alphabetical list. So for example, The Matrix might be classified as Action, Science Fiction, and Thriller. If I were to add these genres into the "Notes" property of a movie folder, is it possible to conduct a search for words only in these notes? So that if I did a search for "Thriller" this movie and any other movie I classified as a thriller would show up?
i want to know how to change file property using linux command line?

The other features are:
My intention is to install the property driver as showed in the following link
Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade
But before, I would like to ask you few questions, because even after having read very carefully the post, I have some doubts:
1) Do I have to run the script in X or KDE?
2) Every time I updated the kernel (using the online updating for example), I understood that I must recompile the module fglrx.ko, with the script at the following address:
automatically recompile kernel modules after kernel update
Or I will get a lof of video issues. The file fglrx.ko will be created in the following path:
/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop/extra/fglrx.ko
3) I must be sure that in the file /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, the parameter Driver must be setup to fglrx and not radeonhd.
Unfortunately, in my computer this file does not exist, what I found is /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.install and as I reported below there is no trace of a Driver parameter.
Code:
As you can see there is no "Driver" parameter. Is it a problem?
4) In the case something will go wrong, can I roll back to my previous driver?
5) Do I always type the command atiupgrade - - initial, the first time I perform the installation?

View 1 Replies View Related10.10 x64. This did not occur before I dist-upgraded from 10.04.I use a USB headset that has always "just worked," as long as I have it selected under both Input and Output in Sound Preferences.Now, periodically I'll hear a pop in my headset, the music/sound will mute for a second, and then come back louder. What's happening is that in Sound Preferences, the default selections are being reset. The sound comes back louder because of my volume settings. Additionally, on boot I run a script to set a few keybindings I use for Ventrilo. When all of this happens, I have to run this script again to get the bindings back.
To fix it, I have to go into sound preferences, select my headset in both Input and Output, fiddle with the volume so it returns to normal, and then rerun my binding script.My first guess was that the headset's connection is "farting", like it'd do a disconnect/reconnect, and Ubuntu deals with it by selecting visible hardware. But I can't for the life of me reproduce it. It just happens randomly.I guess it's possible that the script's issue is related to ventrilo/wine, and not a direct result of this sound issue. I'm mentioning it in case it isn't.I reproduced it by pulling the USB cable out and putting it back in. So there's either a short or Ubuntu is resetting the USB port periodically. Does it drop ports like that?
As said in the subject, desktop decoration settings keeps resetting after rebooting. For me it is quite boring and annoying. Why it happens? Ubuntu should keeps my preferences (as in previous versions - my Ubu 10.10, Unity)

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy problem is I need a broad method to reset the rpm database on my [almost] up-to-date RHEL 5 WS system.
I do not fiddle around with installing new things on this system or perform strange configurations.
A little over a week ago, I started encountering packages in conflict. I entered a RHEL help desk ticket that has been open for over a week. The person assigned the ticket is trying to clear one error at a time.
Once I remove the package in conflict, I get pending transactions; follow the instructions to clear those; and then get more conflicts. I'd like to reset everything without re-installing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded Ubuntu a few times now (since 7.10) - and it still seems to be going well. I really enjoy some of the new features in Lucid - Ubuntu just keeps getting better! I dual-boot with Windows, but I use Ubuntu much more than I do Windows. I have a minor problem - my resolution keeps on re-setting itself to 1440x900 rather than 1920x1200. I think I've managed to isolate the problem. I have a single monitor, a DELL 2408wfp. I have the VGA and DVI connectors connected to the monitor at the same time - primarily because I could not get DVI to work under Karmic. I have disabled the VGA mode, so that only DVI is being used (i.e. I did this via ATI Catalyst Control Center).
When the computer boots, the screen defaults to 1440x900, on DVI. I use ATI Catalyst Control Center to change the resolution. Strangely enough, the ATI Catalyst Control Center tells me that 1920x1200 is the "Preferred" resolution. I select the preferred resolution, and it stays at that resolution until I reboot. On re-boot, the resolution changes back to 1440x900. Suspected theory is as follows:
1. Computer starts up. Computer says "do I have VGA signal"? If so, display in VGA for the BIOS setup, boot menu etc.
2. Gnome kicks in and determines it's in VGA mode. VGA likes to use 1440x900 because it feels like it. Computer changes resolution to 1440x900.
3. Gnome says "I should be using DVI mode, change to DVI".
4. What Lucid Lynx forgets to ask is "what resolution should I be using for DVI" - and uses the VGA resolution instead.
I tested this theory by removing the VGA cable from the monitor and re-booting. For the first time ever, Ubuntu booted into 1920x1200. I don't consider my work-around to be a fix, because I'm putting wear and tear on my VGA cable - as without VGA, I don't have fall-back if the DVI display driver stops working again.
I'm facing bit of a conundrum with my new server. It is essentially a distributed-virtual Plesk Virtuoso container with a rather simple LAMP setup (PHP5 etc) and virtual hosting. Running 10.04 LTS.
The issue is that on each reboot, the /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files are reset with their original configs causing the virtual hosting to break, i.e. rather than hosting the vhosts correctly, it essentially routes all traffic to /var/www, or essentially 000-default ~ this beats the whole point of vhosting in the first place!
Is there any way to get around them being overwritten at boot? A very crude workaround would be to set a script to load at boot via init.d and have it rewrite both files to their correct configs - of course, I have no idea as to the point during boot at which they get replaced.
Every time I start up my webcam in cheese, a folder is created called 'Webcam' in my home folder, and if this folder is deleted, it will be recreated when another session is started, i would ideally like to just have this folder hidden but if i do that then it will be recreated, so is there anyway of having the folder created as a hidden .Webcam? there is no option for this in the cheese menu.
