It is possible to check who logged in with "who" command. If we are also logged in to that linux pc.
But, is there any possibility to check without our login?(not even by ssh)
Our logging in to find that pc, will be wasting the cpu resources. And may disturb the user who is working on the x-session.

how can I remove the other 3 which I thought unnecessary
I tried looking this up. It seems that in Ubuntu, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. I tried that, and the file is not present in Debian "Squeeze". (Just trying it out on a different PC, In case you are confused by my other thread regarding Lenny) So what do I need to do to change the default OS to boot?

I have the hard drive with my root and home partitions set as the first hard drive in the bios. However, in the Ubuntu setup it isn't the first one in the list. I would have thought that the first drive would be get set to sda. That is not the case.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running fully updated ubuntu 10.10 and now, since 2 days ago, when I open a file
in open office, gimp or gedit etc the directories and files now appear in reverse alphabetical order.
I have a server with what appears to have 352 home directories (350 actually if you omit '.' & '..') & I am being asked to basically tally a list of whom all 350 users are in alphabetical order. Now I could sit here for days doing the 'finger' command to obtain their full name commented in '/etc/passwd' file but I would assume there is a script or way I could have Linux quirry the '/etc/passwd' file & take all the user 'comment' entries and export them to a list in alphabetical order. Does anyone know if this could happen and if so, how would I do something like this? I can't write bash / shell scripts to save my life

cmennens@mail]:/$ ls -l

how to list folder size in descending orde
View 2 Replies View RelatedI regularly use 'df -h' to check usage on each of my primary directories and mount points.
I'm currently somewhat confused by disk usage within my filesystem, so I'd like to do the following:
Display directory size of all, or say, the 10 largest, subdirectories to a specified directory. So, if I passed the root (/) directory, output would list the subdirectory of / with the largest disk usage first and its associated disk usage listed in human readable format (either M or G suffix as appropriate), followed by the subdirectory and usage for the second largest directory and so on.
Can anyone suggest a command or series of commands to do this?
How do you change the order of the list? I have Xubuntu 9.10 installed on a 5 gig partition. I only use it for Skype as the mic does not work in 10.04 at the moment for me.Anyway, I would like 10.04 to default to the top of the list. How do I change the order when grub loads.

Just installed Debian on a laptop. I'm not a Linux noob, been running Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Fedora elsewhere for a while. But first time with Debian (Gnome). [Broadly pretty happy so far. It may supplant Kubuntu on my desktop as the latter seems a bit of a resource hog.]I want the login screen to offer a list of users.I've tried System > Administration > Login Window > Localand chosen Themed with face browser from the dropdown marked Style:I'm using Bijou (though I've also tried some of the others) as my theme, in case that makes any difference.I haven't got any pictures set up for users. It's not particularly that that I want, just a list of users to choose from rather than having to type in your username each time. It's a family setup, no big security worries, so easing typing would be nice.

So, how can I remove the ones I don't want to show on the list.
