May 18, 2010I want to record an internet radio station starting at 2:00am tomorrow morning. The specific program on the radio station lasts until 6:00am. The command I need to run to record the station is: Code:mplayer http://wjcu.jcu.edu:8001/listen.pls -ao pcm:file=indie_heat_of_the_night.wav -vc dummy -vo nullI'd use cron, but 1. I'm not sure how to and 2. it seems unnecessarily complicated for something that I only want to run once. If cron is the only/easiest solution, I guess I'll just have to resort to that, but I'd rather not.

Apr 27, 2010I installed and configured privoxy - everything worked nicely when I run it manually by
Quote:
/etc/init.d/privoxy start
After restarting the computer privoxy wasn't start automatically. I checked the links in /etc/rcX.d - are o.k. I installed sysv-rc-conf - shows that for runlevel 2 - 5 privoxy is running. I changed /etc/rc2.d/S20privoxy to /etc/rc2.d/S99privoxy - to start that process at the end. I installed Boot-Up Manager. Privoxy is marked for start automatically. I added in /etc/rc.local line: /etc/init.d/privoxy start
Privoxy still doesn't turn on at boot time and every time I must start it manually. Could you tell me how could I repair this ?

When I use Windows, it automatically turns blue without doing anything. Also, yum doesnt work as well as its not connected to internet...

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu One :: Keyring Password Prompt Upon Starting Firefox?
Jul 12, 2010A while ago, I removed the Ubuntu One entry from my Startup Applications because it was annoying having to activate the keyring every time I booted up/logged on. Now, I am prompted for a password once I start Firefox (mind that it's only the first time I run Firefox after boot/login). I'm assuming it's Ubuntu One because of the sequence of events, but feel free to correct me if you think otherwise. How can I stop this?

Software :: Firefox Not Starting After Update
May 15, 2010I updated my Suse 11.1 distribution and suddenly Firefox stopped working. I went to a terminal and typed in "firefox" and nothing happened. No error message, no nothing. It just stood there.
If I did the sae as root or as another user, then Firefox would load as usual.
The issue for me was that I was using NoMachine (NX) to access my machine. It adds some lines to the LD_PRELOAD session variable. I removed the variable content et voila! I've got my Firefox working again
To check if you're in the same potential situation, do a "set | grep LD" and check the result. If you've got "LD_PRELOAD=" with nothing afterwards, you're not in the same case as me. Good luck finding our fix. If you see "LD_PRELOAD=some stuff here" then you may be in the same case as me. The type in "LD_PRELOAD=" and hit enter to clean he variable. Then in the same terminal type in "firefox" and it should just work.
Software :: Starting Firefox Under A Different User?
Mar 10, 2011I've set up a second user for myself on my laptop.
My user on the laptop is 'tiger'
Let's call the second user 'jrdobbs'
I would like to log on to gmail/facebook/etc using the jrdobbs, but I don't want to switch users via X... I just want a second instance of firefox open, which stores all of its login information under /home/jrdobbs.
My naive attempt looked like this:
Code:
su -l -c "firefox" jrdobbs
Here was my thinking:
start firefox under 'su jrdobbs' ... firefox should store its files under the current user's $HOME/.mozilla

CentOS 5 :: Starting Apache But Cannot Browse In Firefox?
Oct 14, 2009I have a problem, I'm have a course at high school (webserver management) in class this morning we had to install apache, php, ftp and so on but I didn't finish on time so when I got home I was playing around. I'm on wireless here and changed the vm connection from bridge to nat.
normally we had to install apache using yum (yum install httpd) and start the service. that's what I did and then we had to go to firefox (or IE) and type the ip of our server. but when I do I get "problem loading page" instead of the apache default page. I've set httpd runlever 2 to 5 to on and rebooted. but still not working.
Debian Multimedia :: Skype Starting Every Time When Open Interactive Root Shell
Jan 20, 2015I recently "upgraded" to the latest skype and now every time I open an interactive root shell, up pops skype. I can close skype then control-C in the terminal window to get the shell I want, but this is annoying to say the least. Maybe my google-foo is off, but all I can find is articles on how to run skype as root, which is no use. I've tried searching the startup files for "skype" (case independant), but so far all I can find is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /usr/bin/skype" in the root .bashrc which shouldn't be starting the app.
what could be causing this?

Ubuntu :: How Is Super User In Authentication Prompt Determined
May 3, 2010How is the super user determined for the dialog box that pops up when trying to perform administrative tasks, "An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication as the super user is required to perform this action."? Does it always ask for the password of the default user created during the OS install, or should it prompt for the current user's password if that person is an administrator?I use likewise-open for windows domain authentication, so I typically log in as a windows user that likewise-open has added to the list of users on this system. I have given this user sudo access and added the user to all the same groups as the default user, yet whenever I perform an administrative task in gnome I am prompted for the password of the default user. Is this normal? It seems like the behavior would be to ask for the current user's password if that user is an administrator, and if so what determines that the current user is an administrator?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Network :: IPv6 Getting A Global Address Takes A Long Time - Possibly Only After Starting A KDE Session
Jul 8, 2011My ISP offers the service of native IPv6. So my ADSL router provides me with a local and global IPv6 address. However after a reboot it takes minutes to finally see the global address when using "ifconfog eth0". During that time I can't do a ping6 to an external server, which seems logical. So I waited several minutes, but no global address. After that I started a KDE session, went back to the console(<Ctrl>+<Alt>+F1) and now the global address was there. Is this normal behavior or should I file bug report?

Software :: Group-id For The USB-devices In /dev During Boot Determined?
Apr 22, 2010How do the group-ids for the devices in /dev get determined during boot up? The system must get the defaults for the devices some time during the boot process. Where are the defaults listed?
Actual reason for my question is that I need a permanent change of "dialout" to "uucp" or, even better to "dialout,uucp" in this line:
Code:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Nov 14 15:00 /dev/ttyUSB0
Red Hat / Fedora :: Cant Write To Raid - The Permissions Of - Driveid - Could Not Be Determined
Mar 19, 2010I just did a fresh install of Fedora 11 and added Raid 1 for two additional drives during the install,
So, I have 3 drives. One with the OS, that I boot from. /dev/sdc
Then 2 others in a Raid 1 config, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb -- those are in /dev/md0
Everything with the system is fine. I can boot up, and everything runs great. So then I try to view the Raid and it looks ok when I open 'Computer'. it shows the main OS drive, and what looks like the 2000GB raid drive. So i open it and just see a 'lost+found' folder. Not surprising, b/c I haven't added anything to it. But when I right-click I can't create a folder b/c it's greyed out, I can't drop files in there, and when I get Properties on the drive itself it says 'The permissions of {driveid} could not be determined.'
Ubuntu :: 32-bit And 64-bit Firefox At The Same Time?
Feb 18, 2010Is it possible to run both a 32-bit version of Firefox and a 64-bit version of Firefox at the same time?Here is my problem:WebEx requires 32-bit for Ubuntu Linux. But, I need a 64-bit OS for other software that I run.I also have 64-bit Java running Eclipse and a couple of other Swing applications with no problems. So, I don't really want to switch everything over to 32-bit.Here is what I was able to do:- I can create a separate Firefox Profile for WebEx. I launch it using the -P switch.- I can have multiple Firefox Profiles open at the same time with the --no-remote switch.- I downloaded the 32-bit version of Firefox from the Firefox website and extracted it into a directory underneath my home directory.
- I can run that version of Firefox, and I am assuming that is a 32-bit version running.The problem is that it does not load any of my plugins because they are 64-bit. I see in the terminal output these messages:LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]I have a 32-bit version of Java installed at ~/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18, and I created a link to the plugin in my 32-bit firefox plugins directory:~/bin/java/firefox/plugins$ sudo ln -s /home/skp/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.soFrom what I can tell, Firefox is not looking in that directory for Java.
