I want to have a live-output of e.g. /var/log/syslog but with a filter (grep) so that all new messages are shown live as they are written into the logfile.Normally I use sth. like:
cat /var/log/syslog | grep cron | tailBut this will only show the last new messages. I'd like the last messages continously showing up.
I am experiencing a really annoying issue with ubuntu 10.04. Wether the "lock screen when screen saver is enabled"option is ticked or not, it will anyway request me to insert the password.
And that's but the lighter problem: Screen saver keeps poping on while I write, browse and whatever, and changing its properties won't help at all. It just keeps pestering me! (while i'm writing this, i've already had my screensaver popping in about 15 times)
And last but not least, even if I log as administrator and unthick the "request password"... it will always keep asking ... what to do?
I'm a business student and we have a stock ticker in the atrium of our building that was being run off of an old 386 computer that bit the dust. Unfortunately, the individuals who wrote the program that updates the ticker (with selected stocks only, from a student run portfolio) are long gone.
Basically, I'm looking for way to display certain stock quotes updated every few minutes on a real-life ticker (green lettering, scrolling side to side) with selected stocks, including the changes in stock price (arrows as well).
I've looked into programs like SMTM, but I'm not quite finding what I need. I don't have much scripting knowledge but I figured this could be done relatively easily, perhaps with GREP?
is it possible to log the command output's history that are previously printed messages in the terminal to a file? that is the first command output when i first opened terminal through the last command.

First how do I get HDMI audio output to my TV? I think I have just a integrated Intel graphics card. It works fine in windows but I can't seem to get it to work in Ubuntu. I tried searching but couldn't find anything pertaining to this issue.
I am sure that this is very simple but I have installed sound juicer and the gstreamer plug ins. The problem is i still cannot select MP3 as an output output option

So here's the situation. He plugs his audio jack into his computer and then into the speakers but it still plays from the computer speakers.
I finally got audio working on my ubuntu 9.10 desktop... now I am having sound issues watching movies from a network share.The sound device continually randomly changes to "dummy output device" and then there is no sound output. The sound icon dissapears on the toolbar. To get it back and audio to start working I have to $sudo alsa force-reloadIt seems to happen everytime there is a network delay, the movie will stop for a second and then when it plays the sound is gone

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?

Sometimes Empathy is not sending my messages to my contacts on MSN. There are no warning messages of this, so it's really annoying. I have to disconnect and reconnect to MSN to resolve the issue. After the bug occurs no message is sent to that contact, but I can communicate with others.
In my case I see no correlation between the length of the message and the bug occurring, it seems to appear randomly.
I am using Empathy 2.30.0.1 on Ubunutu 10.04 RC

Just started up my Log Viewer on a fresh install of Natty, and it complains there are a bunch of log files missing:
Code:
HOWEVER, this raises a number of questions.
1) Why are these files not here any more? I don't know of a single Linux distribution which doesn't have a /var/log/messages file.
2) Is the lack of these files to do with changes in Natty, or is there something badly wrong with my machine?
3) If these have been removed on purpose, where should I be looking for this information now?
4) Howcome this information wasn't broadcast to the community? One simple solution would be to retain the file /var/log/messages and fill it with the message "This file isn't used any more, please look in xxxx"
how can I hide the joining leaving messages of the IRC client of empathy ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't like having to click twice to do what I had happen automatically in Pidgin - that is, open up my new messages in Empathy.

View 1 Replies View Relatedafter upgrading to 11.04, natty, I have a problem with rsyslogd.
In previous releases I went to:
/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
and uncommented the lines under comment:
# I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual
# console I usually leave idle.
This was redirecting the log messages to a console I could get to via Ctrl-Alt-Fwhatever.
In natty, this no longer works. When I switch to the relevant console I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor.
The file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf still exists. A new arrival is also 50-default.conf.ucf-dist which, as far as I can tell is a clone and which I have also modified like 50-default.conf.
The file /etc/rsyslog.conf (configuration file for rsyslogd) exists and its last line reads:
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
which presumably should force rsyslogd to read 50-default.conf at startup.
Looking at the running processes I can see that rsyslogd runs.
I wrote a script which will run in ubuntu box and will display in tty1, without loading the gdm. The problem is when I plugged in a usb drive it will cause some messages to be printed into the current tty user logged in.
Like : [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
This is really disturbing when a user is running the script. Is there anyway that I can direct all the messages to some other tty which I don't use.
Amongst many other annoyances and problems with my setup, the most major one is as follows:I use evolution on my home computer to manage my email...when i was at my friends house today, i logged in to my mail via godaddys webmail service....after checking my mail and returning home, i notices that some of my new messages that i viewed on the webmail were showing as they should (unread) in evolution...however, a few of the messages were completely absent...i then returned to my account through webmail and sifted through all the emails that were in my inbox(all unread as I havent used the service much as i have always had my computer with me)...i noticed more than a few messages that were there that i didnt receive in my evolution inbox....is that a problem with my email provider through godaddy, or a problem with evolution?evolution often locks up on me and crashes, so i am thinking it might be something to do with it....thinking about switching to thunderbird and hoping for better results, but i am so used to evolution now
