My question might sound pretty nooby - still having my first Ubuntu cup after a Windose life Every time at logon i have to enter my wireless key - is there a way to save it so I dont have to enter it every time?
View 3 RepliesIn the right upper corner of your screen,you can see if you have a network connection or not.Most of the time I do not have one according to Networkmanager (?).So I have to enable my wired connection manually.I already tried a lot to change my settings so I would have a network connection at boot,but it doesn't seem to work....Firefox is in Offline modus when I logon..

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to 10.04 my network connection asks for key/password every time I logon. Where/how can I make ubuntu remember my key/password?
View 2 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 use rsyc for synching files that I type with a server and every time I have to enter the server's password. Right now in my .bashrc file there is an alias like this code...
but can't find such a thing in rsync or ssh man pages. Does anybody know what I should do?
My purpose is to have a different history file for each directory. Because, it would be usefull for me to access only to commands executed in each directory. In this context, is there any way to update the HISTFILE variable every time I go in a directory?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus Eee PC with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Unity). The other day, I turned off the wireless using the keyboard shortcut to save battery life when I was somewhere without wireless, but now it's not turning back on. I tried restarting, I've done the keyboard shortcut several times, and it still just says "disconnected" for wireless and wired, even though there are several wireless networks around me right now. There aren't any options in Network Connections or Network Tools to turn on the wireless. Is there a way to manually turn it back on?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems that karmic has changed the behavior of Gnome's cpufreqselector, so that it requires root authority to make changes, and those changes don't persist after a reboot.
Is there a way to make changes persistent? Is there a way to let admin users change the setting without having to enter a password every time?
i'm trying to get everything working ok. i have installed ubuntu using wubi and i've found that i can access my files on my windows partition from ubuntu. to do this i have to mount the disk and enter the password each time i boot up, and i would like this to be done automatically. i was wondering if this was possible? i put in a link directly to the music folder on windows into my 'places' but it only appears once i have put the password in. its not a huge thing, but its one of those things which would make starting up my ubuntu a lot more conveniant.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur 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 RelatedThe only problem I am experiencing is that when I boot Ubuntu quickly finds my wireless network but does not automatically connect to it. A window then comes up asking me to "enter password for Keyring default". After having then entered this password the connection does take place and remain stable. So really no big deal but why do I need to do this every time I boot up. This is new to me. Never had anything like this on previous versions.

The keyboard seems to be dead, no keys work, not allowing me to enter the password.
Succeeded in connecting to internet using my wll phone. I can now connect using 'wvdial' command in root terminal. But I want to connect through terminal. I tried 'sudo wvdial' command. Then I am asked for my password. But I cannot type my password there. When I type, nothing appears on the terminal window. Ofcourse there's no problem with my keyboard.

The only problem (so far) is that Network Manager requires you to enter your password every time you login to unlock the password keyring. I want to disable this.
I think some distros disable the prompt by using the login password to unlock the keyring, but I use auto-login (if that makes a difference).
I have a desktop machine that has had to go wireless due to office changes (fire in the building, new office, no physical connection). Since I'm the company IT guy, I really need to keep my machine on the network to do things that my machine does when wired.
Rather then using the Network Manager that connects when I login, what's the easiest way to keep the connection up all the time?
Ive downloaded the second life file and tryed to install via terminal, and heres what I got,
Code:
creative@kyle-desktop:~/Desktop$ ./SecondLife-i686-2.0.1.203797.tar.bz2.part
bash: ./SecondLife-i686-2.0.1.203797.tar.bz2.part: cannot execute binary file how do I install this game
When I was using the LIVE CD, it used to popup a little box on the top right hand side asking whether I would like to install 3rd party drivers or not. Now it doesn't do that any more, that I've installed it. How do I install them, and once I have, can I use Second Life on Linux?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs Ubunutu better than Windows 7 for general battery life?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo, I never got great battery life with 9.04 or 9.10, but it was acceptable. Here's the thing, with Windows 7 I can get about two hours. With Ubuntu I'm lucky if I get an hour, and I mean really lucky. I have selected to dim the brightness and to spin down the HDD when possible, it hasn't helped a whole lot. What I don't see is an option to underclock the CPU, which is done rather easily in Kubuntu.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu on a new netbook, getting rid of windows in the process. I had tried it on another computer, installing it alongside Windows, and liked it enough to want to install it fully on my new netbook. I followed instructions, downloaded it to a USB stick, and then installed it as per the instructions on the Ubuntu website. All seemed fine until I tried to connect to my wireless network, when it appears there is no wireless driver. I tried plugging in the ethernet cable, but it just disconnects me every time I try to go online.
View 14 Replies View RelatedInstalled Lucid netbook-remix on my Aspire One with SSD and 3 cell battery last night. Under 9.10 I got 2hr 15mins with wifi and up to 3hr without wifi. This morning on the train to work I booted the new release only to find that without wifi I'm now getting only 1hr 20mins battery life (fully charged battery). I have the brightness turned down low to try and save a little power but it makes no difference. What can I do. As this is a netbook-remix release having just over an hour of battery life is plain awful and impractical.Any suggestions to increase battery life?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAny ideas how you unfreeze a computer?
Last night I decided to download a few games using a different tool to the Synaptic Package Manager. I can't think of its name at the moment but it gave a brief description of each app with a tiny screen-shot. I'd like to find out its name but the only thing that will move is the mouse pointer.
I left the computer alone last night thinking that I'd given it too much to do and thought that it would resolve itself when I woke up. Sadly the computer is still frozen with only the pointer moving around the screen.
Is there any way that I can get the computer back to life?
Or is my only option to hit the Off Button?
I haven't gotten an answer from Second Life fora so I thought I'd ask here. I'm using Ubuntu (lucid) x86_64. Totem, Rhythmbox etc all work correctly but I fail to get any streaming audio from any of the Second Life clients I've tried. In some cases I can copy the media url into rhythmbox and run the sound from there but in most cases the url is "hidden".
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've been using Ubuntu on a Toshiba L645d, and after a few hiccups with the sound and wireless, it's finally working well now. However, the battery is still a bit less when compared to Windows 7 (2:00 vs 2:35, but it came with optimizations on W7 so that might be the reason. A comparison of power used: 25w of power on Ubuntu vs 17.5 on W7.
