i am using centos linux. is it possible to disable keys without using X server during boot-up of linux???
thanks..
hello all,
i am using Centos 6. i want to disable boot log messages at the time of boot-up even after pressing any key like.. Esc,Alt+d,any arrow keys..
i tried to disable keys by using the command:
xmodmap -e "remove Escape = Escape" and all...
but its not working.
what should i do?? boot messages like this:
iptables: Applying firewall rules: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
[ OK ]
Starting system logger: [ OK ]
Starting system message bus: [ OK ]
Retrigger failed udev events[ OK ]
Starting snmpd: netlink: 12 bytes leftover after parsing attributes.
[ OK ]
Starting snmptrapd: [ OK ]
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ]
Starting postfix: [ OK ]
Starting mailgraph: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
Starting crond: [ OK ]
Starting squid: .[ OK ]
Starting fail2ban: [ OK ]
Starting atd: [ OK ]
For the last few weeks I've been trying to setup SSH keys from my main Linux server to all of the other Linux servers that I use.
I'm using the HOWTO here
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...authentication
It didn't work. It was still asking for a password or the pass phrase.
So...I did my troubleshooting he
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...authentication
In the end, I deleted all of the public/private keys and did the following steps:
ssh-keygen (not specifiying a rsa key)
and then to copy over the key I did the following ssh-copy-id username@xx.xx.xx.xx
...and it worked!
I'm wanting to understand why this is working Vs the ways I'm seeing on other websites.
thanks
I am running linux mint from a live usb loaded with unetbootin for windows. It works with my wireless logitech USB mouse, but the touchpad itself is unresponsive. Keyboard including FN keys are indeed working. I am on an asus EEEPC netbook. I tried making sure the touchpad was turned on vai the function keys. I have also checked in system settings the touchpad is enabled. Any solutions anyone?
Im not sure if anyone has already asked this question but i would really like to know how to disable Sleep/Hibernate completely and persistently on a Kali Linux 1.1.0 System running dual boot on a Macbook Pro Mid 2009.
Hi all,
Would love some advice about how to get a solution here.
Goal - join two separate ssh sessions together. I want to see if keys used to login to a bastion host can be different than keys used to login to server from bastion.
Scenario - I will login to a bastion host using ssh and my keys from my machine. The bastion host will then login to the actual server on my behalf - using a different set of keys. The ssh session from my machine to the bastion host and from the bastion host to the server now needs to be connected, for me to feel as if a transparent SSH proxy is just forwarding commands.
I have read up a bit on ssh proxies but it seems like this is not implemented right off the bat. I have read - http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH...and_Jump_Hosts , I have also looked at screen sessions - but am not sure how to "merge" two ssh screen sessions together.
Any advice will be very helpful.
Thank you.
hi guys,
i understand the concept of a public and private key for ssh signing and encryption...i just dont get the implementation.
if you have a client and a server and you want two way communication do both have to have each others public keys in the .ssh/authorized_keys files on each respectively?
should you use a password? does it matter if you want to run say rsync from one to the other with a cron job or script?
does anybody just have a breakdown of exactly what you need to do and how it works in different situations...
i found this:
https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...up-ssh-keys--2
seemed to help...but im still not 100% clear...
I am using Debian 7 KVM in a cloud and I find the keyboard buffer in a terminal window is about 35 characters in length thus when I run my keyboard emulator, I have to pause after 35 keys in order not to overflow the buffer.
I want to be able to login and dump the instructions to the KVM server then go to the next one. e.g If I wanted a mass roll out of Yacy search engines or other applications.
I know no Human can type that fast. But my Program can on the PS2 interface.
The USB keyboard port maxes out a 700 WPM

I use Firefox 16 for my automation and it uses gconfd internally.
Is there a way to disable firefox from using gconfd. It writes a lot of data into saved_state which is leading to crashing total usage of CPU.
I have found –disable-gconf
but not sure how to compile firefox with that command
Is there a way to disable log messages from gconf?
hello all at linuxquestions
first off would just like to say how useful this resource is, Ive been setting up a VM server in lubuntu recently and this site has given me alot of help and helped me get it off the ground. Im certainly a linux noob and only been messing around in linux for a week, so please forgive me for any derpy terminology
anyway, I installed lubuntu onto a VM as an intention to use it as a server
to be honest it was an ISO I had lying around and due to it being "light" I just went for it
however I have since discovered ubuntu do a flavour known as "ubuntu server"
first off..
what is the difference between ubuntu server and regular ubuntu/lubuntu etc?
is it just that it does not load a full fat gui?
if there is a big diffrence would it be easy to "turn" lubuntu into ubuntu server? since they are sort of based off each other?
secondly, lubuntu loads up lxde upon boot, I was wondering if there was a way for it to just boot up without the gui with the option to turn it on via shell (startx etc)
this is because I have little ram to play with but I also like to use the GUI sometimes when needing to do certain admin stuff, for example I use steam via Wine to download steam games sometimes
I was pondering the idea of installing ubuntu server and then downloading the lxde desktop and going that route, but Im not sure if it would bring any benefit opposed to just modifiying my current lubuntu installation
any advise or tips would be welcome
thanks!
Hi Guys, genuine noob here. I need some help with my first 'puter project -
I have a PI2 running Raspbian, a vintage ZX Spectrum computer & hacked USB keyboard chip.
I've used the USB keyboard chip to interface the keys from the Spectrum into my PI2.
Unfortunately, I'm having problems re-mapping the keys using XMODMAP...
Now this where it gets weird, let me explain -
Firstly, I've managed to successfully map the basic numbers & letters, so that the Spectrum keys trigger the appropriate KeySymbol.
However, I'm having serious problems with the modifier keys...
SHIFT_L is mapping perfectly, and will trigger CAPITALIZED letters.
BUT... I can't seem to get accurate results from my re-mapped ALTGR button -
It works fine for SOME keys, but for others it will behave like SHIFT_L or not work at all
So as you can see below, I've (attempted) to re-map the Spectrum's SYMBOL SHIFT key to 'MOD5' (altgr), so that the 'number' keys will trigger !,@,#,$,%,&,',(,) and _.
so for 12345767890, I SHOULD be getting !@#$&%'()_
But - instead I'm getting 12345&78)_
It's working fine for keys '6', '9' and '0' but NOT for the other keys....
GGGrrrrrr... I don't understand what's happening here
Anyway, this is my xmodmap code. Please help me!
# first, sort out CAPS SHIFT and SYMBOL SHIFT as a shift and AltGr key..
xmodmap -e "keycode 85 = Shift_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 97 = Control_R"
xset -r 85 # prevent new shift from autorepeating
xset -r 97 # prevent new AlrGr from autorepeating
xmodmap -e "add shift = Shift_L"
xmodmap -e "remove control = Control_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod5 = Control_R"
# one key maps to 'Caps Lock', need to remove this function to get it working
xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
# Right, standard keys now... top row first, left to right...
xmodmap -e "keycode 89 = 1 1 exclam exclam exclam"
xmodmap -e "keycode 88 = 2 2 at at at"
xmodmap -e "keycode 112 = 3 3 numbersign numbersign numbersign"
xmodmap -e "keycode 34 = 4 4 dollar dollar dollar"
xmodmap -e "keycode 33 = 5 5 percent percent percent"
xmodmap -e "keycode 60 = 6 6 ampersand ampersand ampersand"
xmodmap -e "keycode 173 = 7 7 apostrophe apostrophe apostrophe"
xmodmap -e "keycode 114 = 8 8 parenleft parenleft parenleft parenleft"
xmodmap -e "keycode 106 = 9 9 parenright parenright parenright"
xmodmap -e "keycode 86 = 0 BackSpace underscore underscore underscore"
I should also mention that I've asked this same question on the PI forum, and no one's replied -
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...8&t=108434&e=0
Hopefully I can get some help here, as this project is currently useless without being able to re-map the keys.
Many thanks
