I have one Ubuntu server 9.04 with samba domain. I have one Xp pro in this domain. When the XP computer logon, the theme is classic... How can I change that? I want the standard XP theme......
View 3 RepliesI wish to prevent the samba messages (mainly nmbd and winbindd) from appearing in the system log (/var/log/messages). I want to allow samba logging to the standard samba logfiles, but prevent the syslog getting clogged up by samba. I added syslog = 0 to smb.conf and reloaded the config but the messages were still appearing. I also tried the following (and restarted the syslog via /sbin/service syslog restart) # Suppress messages from samba.
nmbd.* /dev/null
smbd.* /dev/null
winbindd.* /dev/null
For interests sake the messages I'm getting are below (I'm not concerned about the messages themselves, I can chase them up at my leisure via the samba logs) Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet xx.yy.z.zz for name DOMAIN<1d>. Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: This response was from IP xx.yy.z.zz, reporting an IP address of xx.yy.z.zz.
I updated my laptop from F12 to F14 via preupgrade. After doing so, the standard mouse theme was active. So I installed the one I like again and set it as mouse theme. For some reason it is now a mixture of the one I installed and the standard theme. If I open a place in nautilus the displayed symbol is the right one while waiting, if I open something in control center I get the standard icon. Same problem with drag and drop, I always get the hand from the standard theme. I also tried the former standard theme Bluecurve and it was the same problem.Can anyone tell me what goes wrong with the theme? What has changed in F14, that the older themes won't work?

when i am using win xp to logon on samba domain the windows XP does not load profiles from samba. I think that the problem is NTUSER.DAT storing in /home/user/profile
The same profile is working using samba 2.2.8 but not working in samba 3.5.3..
I download some gdm logon themes but I can not find the way to change it. the site is gnome-look.org
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter one of the updates (the same day as the kernel was updated) my Startup Theme has been changed from standard SUSE light-green to a dark SUSE EDUCATION.
I'm not talking about GDM logon (this is OK) and not about Bootloader screen (also OK).
I meant a progress of the SUSE loading.
I have Open SUSE 11.1 with GNOME and some software from EDUCATION repo but not a Education release.
How do you configure the system to automaticly change wallpaper and the standard Icon Theme to a custom made.
-If Im not mistaken, it must be something to do with the option to make a script at the end of the installation, -Ive seen the option in the creation,
I've setup a samba pdc, everything works like a charm.. except for the windows theme of the ldap users.Whenever a user logs in on the xp client.. the xp client automaticly switches to classic view instead of the normal xp-style.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a folder in a Samba shared drive which I've done the following with (in Unix):
1. Changed owner to Administrator.
2. Changed group owner to Domain Users.
3. Granted 700 (drwx------) permissions
4. Connected to Windows server via remote desktop
5. Mapped the Samba network drive as administrator
6. Right clicked on the folder > properties > security tab > advanced, and added one person (let's call him Joe) who has rwx access on that folder and everything in it. (along with administrator)
7. Went back to check Unix permissions on the folder and found that they had changed from drwx to drwxrwx+. Same goes for everything inside it.
8. Checked the ACL.
there i have installed 10.10 today and cant logon, i can type the username, but when i try to type the password nothing happens, the cursor blinks but no letters characters or numbers work??? the only key that appears to work is the enter key. so obviuosly i cannot enter a password and it times out after 60 seconds. what do i do is it the keyboard?? this is on an older pc (not this one) that i was using win xp on, and got sick of the hassles with windows.
maybe should i reinstall without passwords?
I have succesfully set up authentication manually in Ubuntu so users can log on with Windows Active Directory accounts and have their network drives mapped automatically using pam_mount.
Please note due to the setup I can't make any changes to the Windows 2k3 server.
If a user wants their password reset I can change it to a generic password. When they next log on to a Windows computer with the generic password it will automatically ask them to change it to something else.
Is there anyway to get this to work with Ubuntu 10.10? At the moment when logging onto Ubuntu with an account that is in this state the message Please change your password appears, it then proceds to log on without prompting to change the password and natually it won't map the drives etc.
Our system is based on RH4 and is using pam_tally and faillog to record failed attempts and to lock users out after 5 attempts. We have a requirement to provide a normal (non-root) user logging onto our system, with information regarding the number of failed logon attempts made on their account before the current successful logon (similar to the functionality provided by HP Protect Tools on Windows). My first idea was to add 'faillog -u $USER' to the bashrc, however by the time the bashrc is run - the user has been successfully authenticated and the faillog has been reset back to zero.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I log onto my 10.04 server via ssh, there is the /etc/motd displayed. This motd is made up each time by the files in /etc/update/motd.d/. There is this one file : update-motd-reboot-required The content is exec /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-mot-reboot-required and the content of this one is : if the file /var/run/reboot-required exists, print it.
But who is making this file and why ?we know who it is: it's pam_motd.. but why would I reboot ??!?

I want to use AD sys accounts to logon to linux servers. What is the best and most secure way to do this. This because we want to ensure it is tracable when a server administrator makes changes to a linux server. Now we use root to make changes to the servers.

This is not a chained certificate.Currently my default SSL virtual host, listening on 443 works fine. So, https://www.myDomain.com is recognized correctly by all browsers. But, the below virtual host listening on port 1025 is not coming across to the browser securely. The page renders, but the browsers do not see it as encrypted SSL.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to Linux, but willing to take a plunge and climb the steep learning curve! I've recently installed Fedora 10 on a spare box I'd like to have running in the lounge by the TV as a TV recorder. Before starting out with MythTV, I would like to get the box running the basics... and hit no major snags with display / audio drivers. I've finally managed to connect to the box via VNC from my macbook over the wireless network. The Apple standard client is slow over wifi, so have started using 'Chicken of the VNC' as the client. At the server end, I intalled vnc-server via yum. I've also tweaked things in ~/.vnc/xstartup so that my default window manager over vnc is gnome.

I have a samba PDC set up, roaming profiles are not needed as the user accounts are on a per-machine basis (ie the machine on reception logs on as the "user" reception for all the operators, no personal data is stored but I would like to redirect the local My Documents folder of the XP clients to the user /home folder on the samba server. I thought about making the user /home share browsable and having a simple logon script to redirect the My Documents folder to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, from time to time on login, as my normal theme starts to load, it changes to some sort of silver theme (a very basic one), and I am unable to change it over to any other theme. Checking the theme being used, it still says my desired one is set, but it is not. Also, no matter what theme I change it to, that basic silver theme is the one being used. This includes a default icon theme, not the one I prefer.
The only option that seems to fix things is a restart, and the hope that on this login it won't mess up like before.I am using Natty, from a fresh install, with Ubuntu Classic as my desktop, and have reinstalled things more than once to try and fix a few of the Natty-related issues, but this one keeps coming back.

I installed a theme in emerald, and it didn't do anything, like, it had no effect on my windows or anything. So i did some searching and the only thing i could find was to run "emerald --replace" in the terminal, and it worked, but if I exit out of the terminal, it reverts back to the old theme.How do I keep emerald's theme, even after I exit the terminal?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince I updated my system a couple of days ago, qpdfview uses a generic theme instead of the Gtk theme. Apparently by adding
Code: Select allexport QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk.
to /etc/profile all QT5 apps should use the gtk theme but for some reason this doesn't seem to work.
Adding -style=gtk to the launcher options works but I want to change the theme setting for all QT5 apps.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI enjoy using vim from lxterminal with the black background, as well as awesome with its dark theme. I configured xfe manually to be darkish, and i use darklooks as a GTK theme to suit it as well. I could say all my desktop looks pretty dark, which my eyes thank me for. I also use redshift.But problems come along when surfing the web. Most web pages (including this one) have very bright styles. They are not the problem themselves, but switching from my windows hurts my eyes since it's a quick change to a much brighter screen.What would you do, either:
1. Use everything with a brighter background and putting the screen brightness a bit lower. (changing the GTK theme to clearlooks, using lxterminal with a white background, etc.)
2. Use some color theme with uzbl so that pages would look much darker. (like when you set manually the text and background colors in Firefox/Iceweasel)
I would myself go with the second one if most pages wouldn't look that bad when modified that way. For example, many pages use non-transparent images with white backgrounds on white pages, so if you change the background to black not only it looks horrible but it too is a mess.
I recently got myself a new hard drive and I want to use it as my Samba share. I just want the hard drive itself to store the files.I know once I get it set up it should be easy to tell Samba that's where I want it to store and look for files.Problem is I need to make it so the computer can use the hard drive first. I have already installed the drive. I just don't know how to get Ubuntu to recognize the drive.I also need to create a partition that uses the whole drive and format it to ext3, then I need to mount it somewhere for Samba to use.This would be easy to do with Ubuntu desktop, but I am using Ubuntu server and I don't know how to do it. I have read that I will need to use fdisk, but the post wasn't to clear on what to do.
