When there is no user home directory and user logs in it's created using /etc/skell as a template.Is it possible to attach custom script to that "first time log in" event?
View 6 Repliesi need to have the time of occurence for mouse event in xinput,right now i run
Code:
xinput test <device_id> >log.txt
(for finding device_id using xinput list)

I would like to run a few custom commands when booting: "xinput" to calibrate the touchscreen and a couple of "setkeycodes" to make special buttons responsive.
From within a session I need to do "sudo setkeycodes [etc]" - without root access there's a "couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" error message.
Ideally these commands would already be operational at the login screen, and without requiring entering a root password every time.
I've put the commands in an otherwise empty /etc/rc.local but this does nothing. Other posts mention bootscript.sh but I don't get how this is used; and the best way to do this seems to have changed between versions - so what's the proper Lucid way?
I created a custom linux distro that originated from ubuntu server and I installed time-admin and want to change the time without admin rights. Is this possible?

View 4 Replies View RelatedJust spent three whole days barking up the wrong tree, solving Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 boot failures because the correct hypothesis was illogical: installation did not update/modify the initrd.
The first couple of times I installed Fedora 11 on the HighPoint Technologies RocketRaid 2640x4, the installation inserted my "custom" driver module (rr26xx) into the initrd, permanently, so that the system booted off the controller card for which the custom driver was inserted. (I yelled about this success in this thread: [url]
My most recent installs of BOTH F11 and F12 on the RocketRaid failed to properly set up the boot. It turns out that the "rr2640" module I "slipstreamed" into the installation process was *NOT* permanently added to the initrd by anaconda. (F12 gave me "no root device found boot has failed, sleeping forever", on boot; F11 hung also, without such error, I presume, during the init script execution). Because of limited resources and time, I only know for sure the module was missing from the F11 initrd, and am ASSUMING the same was the case with F12.
The only difference between the successful installs and the ones with failed boot is that the successful installs were made on a single-drive (JBOD) mode on the controller; whereas, the failed ones were placed on RAID 5. But, AFAIK, the created logical device for the card is "/dev/sda", in both cases, and the kernel can not distinguish between the two cases (or can it?). Thus, the inconsistency cost me a lot of time, and is still inexplicable to me.
Question: What is the best way to deal with custom drivers, today? There are custom spins, and many tools, like isomaster. Stupid question: Is there a way to modify the initrd inside an installer ISO -- be it for CD/DVD/USBboot drive -- beefing the init RAM disk with whatever modules you'd like, for the boot process (using, say, isomaster)?
And what makes anaconda understand that a module must be added to the initrd ? How can one force anaconda to do so?
How does moving to dracut as the initrd tool affect any/all of the above?
I've developed a simple python script which shows facebook notifications.Now I want to give my script's users the freedom to copy,modify and redistribute my script.So,I want to know that can i attach any free software license like GPL etc.Also is there any fee i've to pay to any organization in order to attach a GPL to my script.I'm a complete novice in this field so a detailed explanation will be admired.

My goal:
I wanted to install OpenSuSE and add VMware Server 2.02 on top of it. I have a few hard drives that are NTFS. I need for my Windows virtual machines to see those hard drives. So in order for that to happen, the host OS would have to see the hard drives as well.
If I start a process with nohup:
nohup WHATEVER &
then how can I see it again? I mean how to attach my terminal to it again under Linux, e.g.: Ubuntu 11.04 - just like with the screen package.
I have a question about NFS and CentOS 6.0. Here is the environment: Server running VMware's esxi 3.5 (Fully patched) 10.1.1.50 Server running CentOS 5.5 with NFS. 10.1.1.51 With the systems in the above config everything is working fine. Install a new hard drive in the CentOS server and install CentOS 6.0. Use the same IP 10.1.1.51. Configure NFS, the VM server can't attach to the NFS share.
Here is the config of the NFS server:
Firewall Disabled
SELinux Disabled
NFS installed and running.
NFS-Utils installed.
Contents of /etc/exports
[Code]...
I have confirmed I can telnet to the ports listed. Any clue why the setup with CentOS 6.0 doesn't work? Is this a NFS4 vs. NFS3 thing? Is there a way to force CentOS to use NFS3? I am pretty sure the CentOS 5.5 server is using NFS4.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust recently built and setup a new PC for my Dad running Kubuntu 11.04 64bit. As always, I installed and configured the latest Firefox (v5) as the default browser and appropriate plugins such as Flash (64bit using flashaid), adblock plus, video download helper and download status bar.
Everything is running fine, except for we are unable to attach files in Gmail. Further testing returned the same results in Hotmail also.
When composing a message, then clicking 'attach file', the file browser windows as per normal. However, when attempting to navigate to the required folder to select a file, when clicking on the folder to open, the file browser 'attached' a link to the folder.
I was able to replicate this on a 2nd machine with almost identical software setup. I then tried Konquerer (sp?) on the 2nd machine and was able to correctly navigate, and attach the file as needed.
I never noticed this problem before as I use Thunderbird on my all my systems.. but am able to replicate it on 3 different systems.
I have recently acquired a HP MSA 2040 san, which they say will work with Red Hat. But I'd much rather use Debian. It's attached to a Gen 9 DL360. I cannot get the OS to see the external drives. I hope it's just me mssing something.
I have told the DL360 to keep the external control in HBA mode, not RAID, not using the hosts RAID intelligence. I think I have set the MSA to offer a couple of disks as a virtual drive. I CAN see the drives in the BIOS boot menu for the DL360, though it doesn't show the virtual voilumes on the MSA, I cannot see the MSA virtual or physical drives once Debian is installed.
I have installed multipath-tools, and the SCSCi utilities.
But no luck seeing the drives.

I have been a predominant Windows user for a long time but shifted to Ubuntu recently. I was just trying out a few basic C functions when i realized that the "conio.h" header file isn't included in the libraries and therefore i was unable to use the "clrscr()" function.
I downloaded a tarball which contained the necessary library and header files including conio.h. Once extracted, i specified the location and included in the program as " #include "path to the header file" ".
I still didn't call the "clrscr()" function, and it compiled successfully. Next i edited the program to call that function and it gave the following error...
How i can add new libraries in the future?
