I have freshly installed postgresql 9.4 on my ubuntu 14.10 box and I have run \password as the postgres user and given it the password postgres:

$> sudo -u postgres psql
=# \password
Enter new password: postgres
Enter it again: postgres
=# \q
$>

I have also updated the /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf with listen_addresses='localhost' and restarted postgresql.

ISSUE

When I run psql -U postgres -h localhost I am still prompted for a password.

QUESTION

What else should I try in order to prevent being prompted for a password while executing psql commands locally?

I have a bash script that I have added as a startup application. It does a bunch of exports and alias assignment.

#! /bin/bash

alias devhm='cd ${DEV_HOME}; ll';
alias wlhm='cd ${WL_HOME}; ll';
alias dirch='watch --interval=1 "ls -la"';
alias vols='watch --interval=1 "df -h"';
alias svn-update='svn update --depth infinity ./*';
alias mci="~/mci.sh";
alias vncserver="vncserver -geometry 1680x1050";
alias ..="cd ..";
alias hist="history | grep ";

export PROXY_HOST=proxy.my.setup;
export PROXY_PORT=3128;

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib;
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64;
export TNS_ADMIN=${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin;

echo "DONE!";

But none of these values are available in my terminal sessions anymore. Even when I run the script straight into the terminal like so:

./setup.sh

I see the "DONE!" prompt printed but no aliases or env variables are set.

If I copy and paste the contents of the file into the terminal the aliases and env variables are set.

I have tried adding a line to execute the script from .bashrc also but still no aliases or env variables set.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Also could anyone suggest a better way to have these env variables/aliases added to every terminal session?

I am remoting into my MacBook Pro from an Ubuntu VNC client (Remmina). The screens I have for my ubuntu machine are much lower resolution then my retina display so the VNC session window is enormous.

Is there any way I can reduce the resolution for remote screen management or perhaps use a client that allows the remote session window in Ubuntu to be scaled so I can view the entire retina desktop on a single screen?

When I have multiple instances of the same program running I see white dots to the left of the launcher icon indicating how many instances I have running. When I click on the icon I see the window switcher kick in and all of the instances appear zoomed out.

I used to be able to mouse over the instances and the window's title would appear which helped to distinguish between the instances. However, at some stage over the last couple of weeks this has disappeared.

Is there a way I can re-activate the display of the window's title on mouse over?
