Debian :: Would Not Accept Password In Terminal
Feb 12, 2016I just set up my Debian 8.3.0 Jessie install a couple of days ago. Today I am having a problem carrying out a command in terminal. All I want to do at the moment is make sure my firewall is active. I log in and out of my computer using the password that I set when I originally installed Debian, and I use the same password in the package updater, but today it would not accept that password in terminal. Here is what I am seeing;
rocky@debian:~$ sudo ufw-enable
[sudo] password for rocky:
rocky is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
rocky@debian:~$ sudo ufw-enable

Ubuntu :: Password Fields In Terminal Won't Accept Text?
Nov 24, 2010It's a pretty weird issue I'm having, when I need to provide access for a command in terminal IE: something using sudo, it just doesn't accept text. I thought it might be my keyboard at first (g15) but I tried copying and pasting the password into there and it just wouldn't do anything except for remain blank

Aug 12, 2010there's one major issue left preventing Ubuntu from running flawlessly on my hine.Ubuntu doesn't recognize DVD-RWs once written on. The problem occurred with my old drive (LG GSA-H55N) as well with my new drive (Samsung SH-S222L).I'm using Sony DVD-RW (1x-2x speed)
Ubuntu only recognizes blank DVD-RWsonce written on - no matter whether written by Brasero or Windows 7 - Ubuntu isn't showing any drive in Nautilus nor in Brasero after putting in the DVDtherefore I can't even erase themboth of the drives as well as the DVD-RWs are working perfectly fine on Windows 7 (erasing, writing)I managed to get all other things working by now. My system is close to perfection and this is the only remaining major issue.

General :: Less Doesn't Accept Commands Unless Press Enter?
Jan 21, 2010I am not a new user of linux but the last time I used linux was five years ago.
I am having a hard time using less. It dont want to accept commands immediately. I need to press 'Enter' to accept the command.
Like if I press 'q' to quit, it will echo 'q' and dont do anything. I have to press 'Enter' to make it quit. Same with other commands.
I am using Windows PuTTy 0.60 with ssh to connect to linux machine.
The linux system is: Linux <removed> 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The less version is :
less 394

I dont have any problem with vim and more. Only with less.
I have also tried changing the TERM from xterm to vt100. But still the same problem with less.
Programming :: Sed Doesn't Accept Variables To Replace In File
Mar 17, 2011[code]...
The variables are clean and available in my script. No prob. $old is an IP-address of a server, $new as well. replacement-file is an xml-file (the ip-address to be changed is within an xml-tag). It should be trivial, but it isn't. I spent the last 3 hours reading about the problem, trying several different 'solutions' or workarounds. It should work, the '"' should take care that the variables get expanded, but whatever I try the old server IP isn't replaced.

Mar 22, 2011I have two sound devices, an internal audio device on my motherboard and an external USB devices, which came with my headset. After upgrading to 11.4, the microphone on my headset ceased to work with my softphone. As it turned out, the softphone used the standard input device, which was defined in the Phonon tab in the KDE System Settings. Unfortunately, when I put the USB Device on top of the default input stack, it doesn't stay there. When I apply the changes and leave the Phonon tab or even enable "Show advanced devices " the stack always resets to its initial order. I was unable to find any kind of config file where Phonon saves this settings.
View 4 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Socket Server Using Pthread Doesn't Wait For Accept() Properly?
Apr 19, 2010I'm building a simple(?) socket server using threads to serve up a few requests. The spec is such that I have to listen to three ports at once, so I decided to use pthread to create three separate threads that would wait for connections, then spawn new threads to handle them.
The problem is that when I do this, for some reason the program never enters the wait loop and instead terminates (All three threads did get created since the messages get printed properly.) It gets to the line which prints "???", but not the line after the accept() call.I don't see an open port when I check for one either so I'm 99% sure they're terminating.Basically I have a main() method which has three calls to pthread_create, which should result in three threads being run that all wait for connections (listenOnPort). After each thread creation I print some info to make sure it's actually being created.
By the way, when I just run listenOnPortwithout threading, the server appears to enter the loop correctly and seems to be waiting for requests. It's only when I run the functions as threads that the problem seems to happen.The source is attached below. Any help will be appreciated. Much of the code is borrowed from a website (I can't post it because I am new here.) You need not worry about the handler_ methods because those are just methods that are run by the threads themselves.
Also--the original source was in C and I changed it to C++. Should I just use C?

Ubuntu :: CLI Version Of 10.04 - When Rebooted The Command-line Login Would Not Accept My Password
Jun 8, 2010I have an old PC (130mb RAM, 6gb hard drive).
I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu 10.04 using the Alternate CD. The machine was wiped, and I used most of the default settings.
I used a thirteen character user id which consisted of mixed case letters and numbers, and an eighteen character password that contains mixed case letters and numbers and a # sign.
When I rebooted, the command-line login would not accept my password. I assumed I had somehow made a mistake, and just wiped the machine again and reinstalled. This time I was very careful with the user name/pw.
Again, the command-line login did not accept my password!
On a hunch, I took an old Ubuntu 7.10 Alternate CD and erased the machine again. I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu. AGAIN --- it will not accept my password even though I'm 100% sure it is correct.

General :: Host Command And Web Browser's Don't Accept Hosts.conf Order
Mar 4, 2011Why does ping see audit.median.hu as 127.0.0.0, and why does host -t a audit.median.hu see it as 193.68.35.149? audit.median.hu is just an example site [hosts ads, etc.]
I just have a caching nameserver on my Fedora PC:
I configured my DNS server addresses in the Network-Manager Applet: 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8
Even with Wireshark, I can see it:
So the big question: Why don't the host command or my web browser recognize that I have modified audit.median.hus IP address?

General :: CentOS / Sudo Doesn't Accept Root Password But Logging In As Root Works
Apr 9, 2010I was trying to edit a file requiring root permissions, so I used sudo. I typed the root password and it failed. This happened three times, and the process was ended. I then logged in as root (su) and was able to navigate to the file and make changes as root. Am I missing something? How would I edit the sudoers file such that this password would work? Or is there another way to log in to the sudo group to make these changes? How do I set sudo passwords?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command
Feb 17, 2010how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

#TODO write this for gnome and xterm

This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:

Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Jan 8, 2010I know how to make things run at startup, and obviously know how to run a command in terminal (type and enter... duhhhh). However I would like to be able to run vnstat in terminal when my computer logs in, this is very handy for seeing how much I have downloaded. I have a terminal embedded on the desktop and would very much like to run vnstat in it for me when it starts, I know I could just type in vnstat when I've logged on, but where is the fun in that? Just having it already there for me would be far better.
The command for starting my desktop terminal is as follows:
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans --geometry 90x40+280+30
