I executed the /kick fistname lastname /kick [firstname lastname] command in the group I created, but they didn't apply. There is no right-click option as there is on the Windows Skype version to remove a user from a group. Many other commands doesn't seem to work as well.
Skype version: 4.3.0.37
I usually include the password when I log in to MySQL. How do I exclude mysql -u root -pPassword being picked up and stored by history?
Can't RDP to our Active Directory after it renewed its certificate. I removed the remmina.pref file, but without luck. What Remmina asks for is accepting the cert and fingerprint first time it connects to a remote agent. I assume it then stores that info, although there is nothing that can be found in directory ~/.remmina other than the pref file. I want to remove any old traces of the Active Directory cert, so it will ask me for the newest certificate and generate me a new fingerprint.
I ran the chown command in a directory:
chown -R user:user {.,}*
The {.,}* is used with mv and cp to include both hidden and listed files. Now this command went through and changed those two files in my directory, but I had to break it to stop since it went on. Now I'm afraid it has gone and changed the permissions on other files and folders, since it didn't terminate.
I need to create read-only users and make it available for them to SSH with that user name:
groupadd -g 5000 rouser
useradd -u 5000 -g 5000 -md /home/rouser -c "StrongView Linux User" -s /bin/bash rouser
passwd rouser
Is this enough? Do I need to add more info or edit visudo file?
I also noticed that I can log in to their accounts if I have sudo access.
I'm looking for a network monitoring system with these requirements. So far we tested Icinga but it didn't work well on our 32 inch:
I have a laptop with Windows 8.1. I'm going to use a USB stick to dual boot Ubuntu from. I only wish to install the boot and swap on the USB, for /home I'm going to use a partition from the hard-drive for Ubuntu to install.
How should I proceed setting this up?
I would like to clean install a Linux distribution as Ubuntu etc. My laptop runs Windows 8.1.
I have two options in mind. Clean install or dual boot.
My technical question is: My laptop have a 8GB SSD drive, which it uses to boot Windows with and a 500GB for storage. I wonder what that 8GB SSD stores? It can't store the whole Windows install as that would be much more than 8GB. Also if I would do a clean install of Ubuntu could I use the 8GB SSD to have Ubuntu boot up quicker. How would I install it? Option two, if I would like to dual boot, how would I proceed having the SSD to boot both systems?
I also wish to ask about the Legacy and UEFI differences. Windows runs with UEFI. So when I'm installing Linux, should I run Legacy, and if I dual boot, what option to I choose?
There are several ways to go, and I wish to find out about them.
I have a file on our ad server. I have root access for the server, and wish to copy over a file to our ad NAS.
The file is owned by a different user on the ad server with -rw-r--r--.
I have no problem to scp the file to my own node's /home/user.
I assume there are different ways to copy to the NAS. I tried with mounting the NAS both to my /mnt and /media folder.
I ran scp centosminpuppet64-64.box user@ip:/media/iso and ended up with permission denied. This was a try to copy it to my agent with the NAS mounted as:
sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/nicox/.smb //10.101.0.2/Groups/ /media/iso/
When NAS is mounted agents, /media/iso are, permissions of the NAS are:
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root
Is there a way to workaround this, by changing permissions and ownerships?
I have an own user and password for our Samba NAS itself.
All our nodes are on the 10.101.x.x network.
This is how the NAS is set:
10.101.0.2/Groups
10.101.0.2/Users/my_user
I'm writing an essay and use 2,5 cm text indent. The original is 2 cm. But whenever I create a table of content that content goes back to 2 cm, and I haven't found a way to indent it.
I'm just creating a tarball of a corrupted USB NTFS Windows drive which I mounted in /media. Instead of creating the tarball in on the drive itself /dev/sdb2 I wish to have it created on my own drive /dev/sda. What's the correct output?
I'm trying to make a bootable USB drive from an ISO file. I have been trying with WinUSB.
In the WinUSB graphical interface my USB drive is not showing up, even though it auto mounts. So I'm trying to do it from the command line following these steps:
To install a Windows ISO on NTFS partition and edit the Master Boot Record (MBR) of the device use the following commands:
$ sudo winusb --install iso /path/ /partition/
Example :
$ sudo winusb --format Desktop/SETHO/Win7.iso /dev/sdd1
WinUSB: Create A Bootable Windows USB In Linux
I don't understand what they want me to edit in MBR.
And what is the second command for --format. Isn't it enough to run --install
Do I need to have the ISO mounted in /media/. And how can I be sure it will be bootable?
What does the -p flag actually preserve when creating and extracting a tarball?
Is it the rwx permissions it preserves?
When I created a htdocs/ tarball owned by root, extracting it to my local machine changed the ownership from root to my user.
I'm in a directory containing several sites directories. All these sites have a logs/
directory. I wish to find and list the files under each logs/ directory with the -ls parameter.
I need a cronjob with criteria to power on/off a TV on the basis:
Mon-Fri, power on the screen at 07.00 and power off the screen 17.00. Friday after 17.00 to Monday morning to be powered off.
I'm using xset to force dpms on/off.
DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force off (powers off the TV)
DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force on && DISPLAY=:0 xset s reset (powers on the TV)
xset: /usr/bin/xset
I need to send continuous mails, say one every minute, for testing purposes from a server running postfix.
With the mail command I can manually do it, although there is no specific option to trigger it to auto send mails.
After an Ubuntu 64 virtual server update from 10.04 to 12.04, I get the log message in var/log/syslog:
kernel: imklog Error return from sys_sycall: 1
It's writing constantly to the log file. syslog, kern.log and kern.log.1 has filled up my disk.
So far I just updated the kernel.
We are going to use Java on an Ubuntu 12.04 server, with up to date repositories. Does Oracle itself provide any (ppa) repositories, and is there any other stable and secure developers providing them?
