View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up my CentOS server and I'm having issue with the VNC server. I've set up xinetd services for connections all of which work individually bringing me to a login window. But only one will work at a time. If I kill the process or if I click the disconnect button I can make a new one but as they are terminal sessions (using wait) I wanted to be able to leave one logged in and have the option of another connection if I wanted to log on a different user.
Can someone help with the setting which would be to allow more than one connection? I know if you setup permanent session paths in vncserver this should work but (and I'm sure this has worked for me in the past) the xinetd method is supposed to open up sessions as required. I am working from a write-up for doing this in Ubuntu and aside from odd path differences the only noticeable change is the guide uses vnc4server rather than vncserver that comes pre-installed on CentOS. Should that matter?
Is there a bash command that I can use to determine the last file access time? I know about -atime option for the find command, but I want to doublecheck to make sure that I'm doing this correctly (the output when I use find -atime isn't what I expect).

At first it did, but now when I log in it authenticates, starts downloading a session, but then drops dead. There is no hint of what the problem may be except in /var/log/messages on the server machine:
User 'bill' from '192.168.1.1' logged out. 'NXLogin::reset'
Notice that it's a login reset, after authentication went fine. Researching this I find the problem is often caused by a missing fixed font, which is remedied with an: # apt-get install xfonts-base --reinstall but that doesn't help. I have completely deinstalled and purged the three Nomachine packages on the server, deleting all associated directories, and reinstalled them, but no help. From my client machine I can log into a NX session just fine, so I'm sure it's not the client machine. The Linux version of this software has a limit of 2 sessions, and I suspect the server may have some bogus sessions open, but where? I've done a purge and deleted /usr/NX and /home/bill/.nx so where else could this be?
I look after a server which accepts automatic overnight PASV FTP uploads from remote clients. When the uploads are complete, my Bash script copies the files to another location. The problem is, my script needs to be a bit smarter when it comes to detecting active FTP sessions.
I was using:
Code:
netstat -n | grep ":21 " | grep ESTABLISHED
to test if there were active sessions, but came unstuck when a local user left an unrelated FTP session active. The result - my script hung around all night thinking there was an active upload from a remote client. My server is behind a firewall, so remote clients all show an internal (NAT) address,so I can't differentiate by source IP address.I can't install LSOF or FUSER for security reasons. Is there a way I can test for active FTP sessions from specific users? I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga).
I'm developing a serial port application under Lazarus using the SunaSer code library.
The application reports an error indicating that "the Port is opened by another process".
What command can I execute in a Terminal session to determine what process has the USB-serial port open?
I'd like to determine what process has ownership of a lock-file. The lock-files are simply a file with a specific name that has been created.So, how can I determine what process has a particular file open in Linux? Preferably a one-liner type or a particular Linux tool solution would be optimal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhenever I reboot my server, it looses all network connectivity. It can't see the LAN nor the internet. I have to issue the following:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth1 up
This will get the server talking to the LAN, but still not to the internet. To get that I have to do:
Code:
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
Then I'm up and running.
But why?
Granted I only have to reboot now and then (after a power failure, or, like last night where the server was actually heating the house too much on a hot August day) but why is this happening? It is like these settings are temporary and are lost on shutdown.
When 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 ??!?

This has only been happening since I got back from a trip to Australia, where I naturally changed the computer's timezone to match the local one. I'm now back in Central European Time which is 10 hours behind Australia's. This is on opensuse 11.3.

I was wondering if any one came across that issue before. Everytime I reboot my PC something (I assume GNOME) reset my system clock to an hour behind what is was the last time. So if a reboot twice in a row that'll be two hours behind and so on. It used to work fine until I had to change my system time backward temporally to overcome and issue with GPG. Since I put it back I get that phenomena. It's like it's adjusting it for the Day light saving everytime a boot. Problem is Japan does not have any day light saving. I run OpenSuse 11.2 with Gnome 2.28.2 as my interface. I'm currently located in Japan GMT+9 not DST. /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo
I suspect a bug in Gnome or Yast. It's not user specific because the time is already altered even before I log it.

For example, system clock on my machine is now Wednesday May 26,2011 22:44. If I were to reboot now, the time I would get is Thursday May 27, 2011 04:14. How do I correct this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedJust installed F15 using preupgrade (from F14) and now, every time I reboot, time jumps backwards 4 hours. If I reboot twice in a row without correcting the time, time will be off by 8 hours. Time zone is set correctly (Eastern Time). "Synchronize date and time over the network" is unchecked.
Since the difference between GMT and Eastern time is 4 hours, there appears to be some confusion over that but I can't find anything in the "Date & Time" app relative to that to try to play with to see if I can correct this. II do remember a similar issue many releases ago but I can't remember how it was dealt with.
Any ideas on how to diagnose and fix this?
The CPU frequency scaling monitor won't stay at 800mhz after reboot or a certain period of time. My goal is to always have my dual core CPU locked at 800mhz to have it run cooler. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my toshiba u300 laptop.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSystem time was drifting ahead increasingly for several days time in the end. This is what I did with the clock about 6 hours "in the future":

sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org
hwclock --systohc
i.e. I got the (more or less) exact time from the time server and set the hardware / BIOS timer with this value.I renamed "/etc/adjtime" to beginn with a clean slate. During reboot (shut down phase) I noticed a message saying something like: "hwclock set to system time". I checked in the BIOS and there was a new time about one hour early(!). The boot phase then reset the time again, this time several hours forward (usually two to six hours). This is an iterating process, with a net gain of several hours per boot. It is not always whole hours -- like in a time zone error but it involves also minutes. System is set to UTC as affirmed by the "date" command. What could be the cause of this behaviour of the clock / timer?
Recently I've updated my small file server at home (Ubuntu 9.10) (Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-16-generic) and after I restarted my system No Ports where open anymore. I use ssh, vsftpd, apache2 and samba ... nothing start after reboot, I have to start it manually. I don't know what happened and if is it even direct result of some updates. I have another machine like that at work and there was no problems after resent updates.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed OpenSuse 11.2 3 months ago on my laptop. I'm running with the Gnome Desktop. I live in Chicago and am currently in London. When I set the timezone to Europe/UK the date/time are correct UNTIL I reboot the laptop. After reboot if I type in the 'date' command it shows the time at 6+ hours from London time. When I check the hardware clock 'hwclock' it displays the correct London time. I check the time setup with yast and it shows the correct Timezone but again shows the 6+ hours difference. I change the time in yast and and my applications ( e-mail) display the correct local time again... UNTIL I reboot and then I'm right back where I started - wrong local time ! I suppose I could write a little startup script to do a 'hwclock --hctosys' but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone out there had any ideas..BTW - I hate to say this but on the same laptop running XP I don't have this problem AND I didn't see this problem in OpenSuse 10.3 or 11.1

I did an automatic update and rebooted this morning and I now have a bit of a nightmare situation where I can't open the majority of applications, including the terminal. When I rebooted, my desktop loaded as normal, but then when I try to open the terminal (from Applications -> Accessories or from my quick launch panel), nothing happens other than the quick launch panel disappears for a second then reappears. This is the case for most other apps, but not for Chrome (obviously).
EDIT: Used Alt+F2 to open the terminal, ran safe upgrade and then rebooted, but still having the same issue. As Ubuntu was booting, there was a "Broken pipe" message, which didn't stop the boot process but is still a bit worrying. I've run a file system check but this hasn't resolved the problem either.
