I've been having some trouble with the notifications on 10.04.Networking and volume popups are visible, but messages from Banshee or empathy aren't showing.
I tried the command notify-send in the terminal, but it showed nothing, unless when doing it as root.
fix or a setting to tweak in order to get full notifications back?
I use Ubuntu 9.10 for one of my MythTV frontends, which have a plasma screen connected using VGA as display :0.0 and a projector connected using HDMI as display :0.1.How do I send notifications using notify-send to the projector? The following doesn't work, i.e. it still displays on the plasma screen:Code:DISPLAY=:0.1 ; notify-send "This will still display on :0.0"

I've been using Ubuntu 11.04 for a couple of weeks now, and I can't seem to get notify-send to work correctly (yes, I did install libnotify-bin)
Yesterday, I reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 and the first thing I did was install libnotify-bin to try notify-send on a fresh install.
It worked fine after the reinstallation until I did sudo apt-get upgrade. Immediately after the updates finished, I tried notify-send again and it failed to display a notification.
No error messages, command exits correctly, no indication of anything going wrong except no notification pops up.
I'm on a lenovo thinkpad t420, 64bit ubuntu.
Let's say there are machines A and B. user1 is on machine A, and has access to machine B through ssh (also as user1). user2 is sitting at machine B (let's say in Gnome session). And user1 has sudo access on machine B. How can user1 send a message to user2 (so it should appear on user2's desktop) with notify-send? code...
This doesn't work. I get in result:
(notify-send:28676): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
What else should be done to make it work? (trying it on current Debian testing).
I want to get a of log all the commands executed by the root user with the following details :
incoming ip
username (thru which su was executed)
time and date
all the commands executed as mentioned above.
Also if user has managed to login as root, he should not be able to disable / delete the above info. Can this info be collected at some other physical server ?
I have a script running from a hotkey,it tries to do this:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0; notify-send "hi there"
this worked okay in Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04), but doesn't work in Maverick 10.10 I have also tried:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "hi there"
to no avail.
Inspite of having 755 permissions on the chown command, it seems the command can be executed by the root only. I was under the impression that the 'x' permission for 'others' can give executable rights to the normal user too, which does not seem to be the case here. Just curious to know, if not the file perms itself, what controls the execution of the command?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've setup dimdim (opensource, centos 5.3) and noticed yum & rpm commands fail when executed as root because it uses librpmio from openoffice3 instead of /usr/lib (I'm running from memory so I may have misstyped). But sudo doesn't have this problem.
How can root's search path be different, especially after I state /usr & /usr/lib at the top of /etc/ld.so.conf.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked with sending a kill -s SIGHUP (a reload) to a Daemon process owned by root running on a centOS 5.4 machine.
Obviously, Apache cannot normally do this, so I'm going to have to use the sudoers file.
My problem is, how do I allow the Apache user to only run the kill command? nothing else.
in testing, I've gotten Apache to basically run every command prefixed with sudo and no password prompting. But I want the added security to only run the kill command without the password being prompted everything else should prompt for a password.
I'm trying to understand the sudoers file, and i must say, its non-trivial.
is there a simple 1 line I can put in the sudoers file like
PHP Code:
apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/kill
I just installed Debian 6 on a server and when the server powers up, it shows me all the accounts I created in order for me to choose and login under an account, except for the root account. At the colo where the server is going, they need the root account at the login screen.

[code]...
Every hour, I get an e-mail complaining about the first line of the crontab:
[code]...
I get the same complaint from the other entries: It looks to me as if cron, or anacron, is trying to execute the user (root) as a command. Predictably, the shell doesn't like it, so barfs and triggers an e-mail about it. Why is this not doing what the man page says it should do? The 2nd problem I believe is related to exim, not cron. The e-mails I'm getting above are being bounced from my ISP because they are directed to root@myisp.com, rather than my regular e-mail address. When the message bounces, it bounces to my regular e-mail address. In /etc/aliases, I have root: [URL]... and in etc/email-addresses I have root: [URL]... Adding the entry to /etc/email-addresses allowed the bounce to find me because the sender's address is [URL]... but how can I get cron to send these messages to me in the first place, instead of root?
I scan a document with root pressing the scanner button. I would like to send an email using my gmail account. OK. nothing difficult with that... mbsmtp + mutt for sending trhough the sh script.
1-root is to be avoided at max to do some internet duties, due to security. Apt-get is good, but ok surfing or email sending shall be avoided for higher security.
2- sudo or su running mutt through this way, ok, using an existing user. OK, possible and simple, but not comfortable since you have to use an account of an user existing (create a new user for scanner and email?? - no, come on, we have linux and can maybe find a solution)

Notify-osd is one of my favorite things about ubuntu but the pop ups last _WAY TOO LONG_. I've been googling for an hour and can't find any way to change it. Is this true? This is literally a big enough deal that I might just un-install it. But, that would be terrible because I think it's a fantastic app if it didn't sit there for five god damn minutes telling me about messages I read five minutes ago...
No, not literally five minutes, so don't respond saying "There's no way its five minutes" or "if it lasts that long something's wrong with your computer". If I really can't change the timing then that's an awful call on the part of the programmers who made it. Who the hell wants an app that can't be adjusted in any way?
I was hoping to have a pop up come up after my rssdler completes, I was hoping for the nice pop ups that Ubuntu for brightness, audio volume, instant messages ect, i think it's called notify but i'm still figuring things out. Is there a way i can write this into my rssdler start up script? or any other script i'm writing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedNo matter what I try, notifications do not appear. The notify-osd program is running (if I check ps) and nothing ever reports an error. I just don't see it, or hear it (does it make a sound?)
I think this might be because of my dual screen setup. I have two screens set up, with the screen on the right lower than the screen on the left so that they match up in real life.
This leaves a dead space above the right hand screen, perhaps its appearing in there? But I have already used notification-preferences to move it to the left (does that even work?) and still nothing. What's up? I rely on notifications to tell me that something's up, since the new "notification area" plugin does not flash and is thus utterly useless on this large screen display (design failure)
I was wondering if there was a way to let lib-notify show notifications above windows that are in fullscreen, such as a fullscreen flash video.
