Ubuntu :: How To Prevent Screen From Sleeping Needing Relogin

Jul 2, 2010

I put power settings to never, but the screen still goes to sleep and moving the mouse you have to login.What I really want is no login screen, and I suppose if you were watching a vid it would go dark?

Ubuntu :: Prevent External Drive From Sleeping?

Aug 26, 2010

I have a Hitachi SimpleDrive (LS-1000-EMEA) it has an "Auto-sleep" function which I believe is controlled by the enclosure itself.The problem I'm having is that when the drive goes to sleep Ubuntu does not seem to be able to wake it up again. I am running Karmic 9.10 as a stripped down install with XBMC as a front-end. I cannot access the drive at all when it does this.

I'm not sure if the problem is that the drive is formatted as NTFS. I notice that when the drive is connected to my Mac or PC it resumes no problem (with a slight delay as the drive gets out of standby) but with Ubuntu it just seems to stop responding. When I reboot the drive is not mounted by Ubuntu. Physically, the blue LED indicator on the drive is frozen (i.e. lit-up) rather than flashing as it normally would. I have to actually unplug (from the mains) and plug it back in for it to work.I have tried using sdparm, but as I say I think the sleep function is controlled by the enclosure and thus sdparm gives me no standby options.

Ubuntu :: Making Me Relogin Over And Over When Go Into Hotmail

May 2, 2010

I just upgraded to the newest ubuntu. Everything worked great before but since I upgraded, it asks me to relogin over and over again when I go into hotmail. I had to use a different computer just to get into my hotmail to verify my new account here so I could ask about this. It will repeat over and over making me log in but i won't even spend anytime in my email.

Ubuntu :: Prevent Mouse From Deactivating Locked Screen?

Mar 17, 2010

I recently installed Karmic Koala (desktop edition) on an old PC. Most of the time, the PC is expected to be running in locked screen (i.e. blank screensaver),unless I need to fiddle with something.However, I keep hitting the mouse accidentally.Therefore, I would like to prevent the mouse from deactivating the locked screen and presenting the unlocking dialog. I.e. only direct keyboard press should invoke this action

Ubuntu :: Prevent Blank Screen When Laptop Lid Is Closed?

Nov 23, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a laptop. The laptop has an external 19" screen connected to it through the VGA port. I am not using the laptop screen (because it is small and flickers constantly) but only the external screen. When I shut the laptop lid the external screen blanks. There is no option in the power management dialog and the option "Activate screensaver when idle..." in the screensaver dialog is unchecked (which I would like to re-enable to blank screen when idle for x minutes). How can I get Ubuntu to leave my external screen on when the laptop lid is closed?

Ubuntu :: In XFCE - Prevent Mouse Cursor From Defaulting To Center Of Screen?

Jul 16, 2010

I have a machine running XFCE in a "kiosk" environment. The machine normally runs without a keyboard or mouse, and I remote control it via VNC and SSH.

When the machine starts up, the mouse cursor sits in the center of the screen. I don't want to plug in a mouse or use VNC to move the mouse to the bottom-right corner so that it is not visible, so is there a way to hide the mouse cursor or tell it to move to the lower right when X starts? It would be even cooler if the mouse could be disabled or hidden when no mouse is connected, but re-enabled when someone plugs in a mouse, but that's probably asking too much.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Sudo Not Needing Password

May 4, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a vm in VMPlayer 3.0. My correct user password is required to log in. When I use the sudo command or enter an area that requires my password, the password box pops up as it should.

The problem is:
If I enter my actual password, it is not accepted.
But if I enter nothing, as in just hit enter, it works. It shouldn't.

That seems just a little backwards and I don't get it. I've re-installed the vm and still have the same problem.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ssh Setup Without Needing Input?

I am writing an installation script that sets up ssh keys and then sets up ssh tunnels. I want the ssh connections to be setup by the install script so that the first time you make the connections you don't need to type in yes when it asks if you confirm the brand new host. How can I get around that?

Ubuntu :: Using CUPS With A Printer Needing A Login?

Aug 2, 2011

My work has switched to Fuji Xerox printers, which up to today I've been able to print to simply by sending a PostScript file to their IP addresses. But as of today printing requires a login. Here are the (Windows) instructions:

"Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes>R-Click on the printer>Properties>Configuration>Accounting>Change the dropdown box �Use Login Name� to �Enter owner name�>Type in your staff ID number in the User ID box e.g. �e*******�>OK>Apply"

how do I apply this to CUPS? Where can I find an owner name in CUPS?

Ubuntu :: 8.04 - Deletion Of Files Needing Recovery

Jul 25, 2010

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and I deleted a few JPGs from the recycle bin. I googled looking for some methods of recovery, and discovered that the only ways to do so is through using the command line. I am a complete computer novice, and I know nothing about the command line, or how to use it. I was able to install Foremost. However, with this done, I couldn't manage to use it to recover anything from that point, partially because I only have 1 GB left on my computer space, and I can't delete anything or else it could overwrite the photos I want to recover.

This all boils down to two questions:
What needs to be done to complete and utilize foremost?
And lastly, and the more preferable option, can this be accomplished without the command line?

Server :: Squid Keeps Needing To Be Restarted / Troubleshoot It?

Jun 2, 2011

I have been running squid3 proxy on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine for several months with no problems.It serves about 50 users ( win and Lin clients ) and is usually rock solid.
However, over the last few days problems occur.
The users lose connection and I have to restart squid and all is ok again. Sometimes it drops 4-5 times in an hour ans sometimes not for 6 hours or more. I know the problem is related to Squid as the actual internet connection is on and the squid machine can access the internet.
Restarting squid cures the problem.
How can I troubleshoot this ?

Checking the cache.log doesn't show anything strange as far as I can see.
Could it be that the cache file is full or something ?

Programming :: Detect Keypress Without Needing Return?

Oct 21, 2010

I'm witting a piece of code that needs to read key presses. However I cannot use them as stream, but rather need discrete reads. The code is to simulate an io board interface. So When I press say "d" I need to read it in instantly, not wait for return. I've tried sdl, but no luck (I'm reading in a thread and it causes some problems) I'm using linux so can't use conio.h functions, I've tired gatch from cureses but this still waits for return.So in C/c++ is there a way I can read instant key presses.

General :: Burn A Video-taped Sitting To A DVD Needing Almost 7GB Of Space

Jun 17, 2011

I was finally able to upload a video of my uncle speaking about his time on Iwo Jima. The problem is that it uses almost 7 GB of space. When I try to burn a DVD, there is not enough room. I don't know how to "split" it. Is there such a thing as a 7GB DVD? I have looked and only computers pop up when I google it. If not, what can I do?

Ubuntu :: Eee904hd Sleeping Randomly / Solution For This?

Apr 30, 2010

Yesterday, I clean installed the netbook remix of 10.04 , all went well, until I removed the power cable.

While off mains the netbook will randomly sleep, I really can't seem to find a trigger for it.

In the power settings I have changed various options to alter this but nothing seems to affect this.

This machine had xp on previously without a similar problem, so I am ruling out a faulty lid trigger. (Doesn't happen with powered on mains)

I have the Samba server & users configured, I can access between Linux/Windows shares and both SMB & NMB services are set to be enabled at boot.Everything working.But when I restart the computer, I notice in services configuration that "This service is dead." for NMB. Therefore I have to enable it manually upon boot so that it works.I'm using Fedora 10, fresh installed and updated. I've noticed through search that others have had this issue as well throughout other versions of Fedora, yet I have not found a conclusive solution to this.

Ubuntu Security :: Access To A Virtual File System For The Thermocrom Without Needing To Launch Owfs As Root?

Feb 12, 2011

I have been trying to use my DS2490 USB to serial device with a Maxim .DG1921G thermocron with owfs. It is supposed to give me access to a virtual file system for the thermocrom without needing to launch owfs as root.

Code:
/var/log/messages gives:
Feb 8 16:22:45 norman-HP-G56-Notebook-PC kernel: [ 236.140141] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2[code]....

but if ds2490 module is loaded it works when run sudo.It seems from this that it is a lack of permissions to USB but I have tried all the methods on at http://owfs.org/index.php?page=udev etc. to overcome this and a few others but none work.I am running Ubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP

Networking :: Wicd Has Connecting To New AP's After Sleeping?

Jul 6, 2011

I was using wicd on a spotty network, the house blocked a lot of the signal from moving around, so wicd was having major issues with that AP. Later I was trying to connect to another AP but wicd couldn't connect plus it was saying the spotty network's name was the one it was connecting to. Although I didn't try before I left/gave up I'm sure a restart of the wicd daemon would have solved it.

But why is this even the case? is there something I could add to the scripts that would clear this issue up? (I also submitted a bug on wicd's launchpad project but haven't gotten any response... I hope this isn't a 'feature')

General :: Blocking Or Sleeping An Interrupt Handler?

Dec 2, 2010

Assume: 1) Multi-cpu environment 2) Process that gets interrupted, is the same process that executes the interrupt handler, so I guess technically nothing gets interrupted except what the process was doing before, but it is still executing as it is executing the handler. 3) There is no top or bottom half, when an interrupt takes place the handler is invoked, executes, then return from interrupt, simple as that.

Why would sleeping the handler (puts in sleep queue, context switch to next runnable process) be a bad idea?
