View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I click on 'Places' / 'Music' or 'Video' one specific song or movie always automatically starts up without giving me a chance to select which music or movie I want to hear/watch.
My temporary workaround is 'Computer' then to Music / Video which will then take me to Music/Video and allow me to select normally.
Where is the simple solution ? ...preferably without lines of code
if it's possible to see or retrieve from the system which menu option from the grub boot menu was selected afterall.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the same problem with an Ubuntu 10.04 live CD. Whenever I attempt to boot (Lu|U)buntu from a live CD/USB, on most computers. it works just fine. However, on two computers, the live media starts off just fine with the main menu (Try Ubuntu without installing, etc.), then, when I select any option except 'Boot from First Hard Disk', after a few seconds, the CD stops spinning or the USB loses power. I'm convinced it's not a problem from the media, since it works perfectly fine on some computers.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a multi-user machine with several network interfaces (Ethernet, if that matters). I wish to grant selected users, or groups, full access to selected network interfaces (including ability to adjust IP address and to bind to low ports, but *only* on those interfaces). It is important to me that an user/group does not such full control over other interfaces. Granting partial, or temporary, root permissions is OK; it's a friendly environment.How do I go about it?System: Linux 2.6.recent; usual Debian setup (can be adjusted if needed).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've installed MongoDB and I want init to start the database with the --journal flag. I'm quite rusty on how init works, but I know it involves the /etc/init and /etc/rc directories.I've found /lib/init/upstart-job and someone in the chat is suggesting that I just edit that bash script, but I can see it's involved with more than half the system service, so I'm a little hesitant to edit it. In fact, I'm pretty sure if I followed that advice I'd really screw up my system and then the person "helping" me would just stop responding.

how can I make vncserver starts on boot?
Realvnc was installed by "apt-get install vnc-server" command.
There in NO start-stop script in /etc/init.d/ (is it ok? ), so I can't use update-rc.d. When placing
vncserver
or
/bin/bash -c "cd /root/ && vncserver :1" 2> /tmp/vncstart &
in rc.local it starts nothing but "vncpasswd //.vnc/passwd" (and YES, there is password in /root/.vnc/passwd)
Please, help!

Also I have to push the power button the system is shutting down with this option.

I have a Ubuntu CD sent by Cononical . It runs slow because of my old computer . Now I have downloaded and burnt Lubuntu . Ubuntu Cd has an application Wubi which lets me install it inside XP .
Lubuntu dont have that app so I have to run live CD and install from there .The problems arrives in 5th step when I am asked to select a partition but it says no root selected . So I cant install Lubuntu .
Just got Ubuntu (latest, greatest) installed. IIRC I selected 'auto loggin' from the install CD, but I'm unsure how this works. I have a user loggin 'ray' and a PW that's all OK. In the GUI, if I want to do something heavy it asks me for a PW which tells me that I'm 'root' at that time.But at the CL prompt I can't log in as root with no PW nor with the PW I use as 'ray'. BTW, is there somewhere I can bitch about the install CD? It was not an unpleasant experience, but I think it could be a bit better.

Anyways, I created an install CD for the newest Ubuntu, and the CD works. I used it to install Ubuntu, but when I went to reboot to complete the setup, it just went back to Windows normally. Then when I booted from the CD directly, bypassing Windows entirely, my monitor displayed "No sync" and refused to display anything until I turned off all power to the computer and restarted into Windows normally.
How can I make it so that it will boot to Ubuntu?
I recently enabled noapic on my laptop because it was experiencing strange input freezes on several distros that I tried.Ok, so it does not use the ioapics. My question is, what does this mean for the system? If it used apics before, what happens now? I am a freshly graduated computer science major, and I have worked with basics pics on projects before, but I am curious how this effects the running system.

If I am using LXDE or another non-Gnome desktop and want to use Nautilus as the file viewer it needs to be launched with the --no-desktop option (so nautilus does not load it's desktop image under the other DE).
I know there is a way to make it so whenever nautilus is launched it will not load the desktop (even if you do not pass the --no-desktop argument) but I do not recall how I did this last time! I believe it was a gconf value. Anyone know what this setting is/how I can accomplish what I am looking to do?
