Ubuntu :: Turn On Remote Desktop Via Ssh
Mar 11, 2011I have an AppleTV running a version of Ubuntu on a usb drive. I want to be able to use my iPhone as a wireless keyboard and mouse but the apps require that I turn on remote desktop in ubuntu.problem is, I use it for xbmc (crystalbuntu) and since the AppleTV only has 1 usb port, I cant plug a usb keyboard or mouse in as the flash drive with the OS on it is in the usb port.I can ssh into the AppleTV and run terminal commands. Is there a terminal command to turn on remote desktop so I can use the iphone keyboard app?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Turn Off Logging By Desktop Couch?
Jun 23, 2010Desktop couchdb builds up a pair of log files in:~/.cache/desktop-couchdb.log.1~/.cache/desktop-couchdb.stdout.1It appears they then get rotated to *.2 and *.3 before disappearing.In my case, having uninstalled Ubuntu One, I think the desktop couch DB is only there supporting Gwibber. Both log files seem to be HTTP access logs - referring to HEAD and GET - not much value really.If the machine is up for several days, these logs get quite large. I think they were up to a combined 700MB after 12 days uptime before I rebooted today.There's a settings file /etc/couchdb/local.ini but the log level therein only seems to affect the log under /var/log/couchdb.Anyone know how to stop this logging under ~/.cache?

Aug 7, 2010I'm using Kwin desktop effects. I turn on some desktop effects and it worksbut after I reboot my PC, the desktop effects does not turn on automatically.I always need to turn it on again. I always resume the compositing every restart.Also, I can't find all the effects in kwin. I can only adjust the basic effects (the first tab) but when I tried to go to the all effects tab (the second tab) it is empty.

Oct 20, 2010I am having this weird problem when I turn off my PC and then when its turned back on there are items on the desktop that were not there before (they had been previously but been moved to another folder).Also partitions that I dont want to mount are suddenly mounted and I have to umount as root. I think I have some problems in my grub2 installation since installing 10.10. I ran the boot info script, and can see that there are problems but I get nervous messing with grub

View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Desktop Effects Wont Turn Off?
Feb 16, 2010I made the mistake of turning desktop effects on which slows down my computer. Now the problem is i cant turn it off.
I deselect "enable desktop effects," absolutely nothing happens as a result.
I tried tricking it by checking enable again than when it offers that 10 seconds to keep the settings, chosing not to, and desktop effects shut off finally but within 2-5 seconds reactivate.
It's as if posessed. Howcome it is unresponsive to turning off??? and turns on by itself??
Ubuntu :: Make Mouse Pointer To Turn-around Desktop After Exiting From One Side?
Jan 23, 2011There are pretty good graphical features on gnome. But I could not find a nice feature, allowing mouse pointer to turn-around the desktop area. I want the mouse pointer goes to left side of screen when it reaches right side of desktop and vice versa. Or goes to bottom of the desktop area when it reaches top of screen. It makes using mouse and moving around the desktop area using a touchpad easier.

OpenSUSE :: KDE 4.5 Desktop Effects - Turn Off The Jerky Dimming Effect
Jun 11, 2011Just installed openSUSE 11.4 which comes with KDE 4.5. It has taken a while for me to find my way around and I am still trying to change settings so that VLC is default multimedia app rather than Amarok or similar. how to turn off the jerky dimming effect which was being applied when I close a window. Out of interest does anybody know what memory and cpu overhead these effect costs and how many lines of code? More to the point does anybody know who needs them?
When using Dolphin with column view does anybody know how to have the left margin shown rather than the right. As it is now, with long files names, the right hand end of the filename is shown and to see the directories I have to use a slider to scroll back to the left. I do not recall this being the case before. It used to be that the long file name was cut off unless one scrolled. In that way you could see all the directories and when moving files life was simple. Now this is not the case and actions take longer.

Ubuntu :: Turn Off Gdm When Ubuntu Boots A Desktop System?
Apr 5, 2011I'm trying to find out how to configure upstart.Specifically, I'm trying to turn off gdm when ubuntu boots a desktop system.I have already seen and read various posts on this topic, including this post:Which I will summarize as follows:1) Use init.d style config tools (eg. rcconf) to turn off gdm.his does not work.2) Remove /etc/init/gdmThis works.
However, there must be some kind of configuration tool for this, which I simply cannot find.How can you configure upstart?If there is indeed, no configuration tool, then why on earth has ubuntu swapped to using this un-configurable start up system?This discussion is also being taken to the upstart dev mailing list directly, but I'm hoping someone here and simply point out what I'm doing wrong...

Ubuntu :: Turn Off Computer If X-server Hasn't Started
Mar 21, 2010For some reasons I need to configure ubuntu in such way that it would turn off the computer if X-server or GDM hasn't started (but user is able to log in). By the way, what are the reasons for such situation besides errors with video drivers?
I was told that I should write a script, but I have no idea how to write scripts and where I should place it (I suppose in init.d with some parameters).

View 3 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Turn An SSH Server Into A Proxy?
Feb 7, 2010I have access to a server via ssh. I'm allowed to install things in my userspace. Furthermore, I'm allowed to use the bandwidth. I paid for access to this server, so they're pretty much ok with me doing things with my space. They told me not to store over 20 GBs of data, and I've kept to that rule.
Basically, I want to be able to turn it into a proxy. So, in a way, I want to redirect all of my traffic to that server. If I have a request, it goes to the server, and any replies come directly to my box.
So, this would be a proxy, right? I only have SSH access, I think. Maybe I have some other forms of access, but I can't remember.
How would I go about doing this?
Here's what I have in mind:
(my box) ----request---> (the server) ---> {internet}
(my box) <----reply/incomingdata---- (the server) <---- {internet}
Server :: Possible To Turn Off Modsec2 In A Particular Folder?
Mar 3, 2010I have a dedicated server that I manage with WHM/cPanel and I'm having problems with modsec2.The form in question exists in a folder that is protected by http authentication -- one must authenticate via apache before viewing any of the folder's contents (you know, the whole .htaccess thing).I am wondering a few things:
1) Is it potentially unsafe to turn off modsec2 in this particular folder? I'm thinking that the need to auth via apache will keep out any folks who don't know the password, but want to be sure that there isn't some way to circumvent the apache auth.
2) if I want to disable modsec2 for this particular folder, is it sufficient/acceptable/correct/effective to put this code in the .htaccess file.

CentOS 5 Server :: How Do I Turn Winbind Authentication Off Or Vsftpd
May 25, 2011How do I turn winbind authentication off or vsftpd. I keep getting these error messages in the /var/log/ secure:vsftpd: pam_winbind(vsftpd:auth): request failed: No such user, PAM error was User not known to the underlying authentication module (10), NT error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER.I already tried remarking out different things in the config files. Is it safe to remark out the winbind stuff in /etc/pam.d/system-auth if we are using the smbclient to connect to a Windows share?Why would you want to to use AD to authenticate users for something simple like FTP is beyond me.I merely want it to authenticate against local system users.
