Disable the Desktop Effect on Fedora 9

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 15 hours 4 min ago
I tried to enable Desktop Effect in my Gnome. I am running Fedora 9 on my Desktop. I did System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects. Once I enables this, I had a white screen which I could not do any thing with it. I did this when i was logged in as root.

Being newbie to Gnome, all I want is to know how to disable the desktop effects in my user account? That is which files I should edit/remove to get back my Desktop again.

Thanks,

Sachin

LXer: This Little App Went to Market, Part 1

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 15 hours 11 min ago
Published at LXer:

Launching a mobile application could be considered the latest get-rich-quick scheme. And I suppose for some it might be their best chance at riches and fame. Reality indicates that most developers don’t make back their investment by publishing an application to the App Store or Android Market. In fact, when you view some of the comments posted for a particular application it can be a bit depressing.

USB Install of Ububtu 10.04 Doesn't Boot If Using Battery

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 15 hours 56 min ago
As the title really, I have a USB install of Ubuntu 10.04 (made with Universal USB Installer). It works fine as long as I am using the laptop with its power supply. If I use the battery it will not boot.

I seemed to get stuck starting CUPS so I removed that (and a few other bits & pieces I didn't want) and when I tried it on battery power again it reached the desktop but then hung.

Any pointers as to what might be wrong?

ATA softreset failed (device not ready), now slow RAID

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 16 hours 15 min ago
Hi,

Recently did an apt update and upgrade to my CLI only Lenny server. Upon reboot I get an "ATA softreset failed (device not ready)" for all of my SATA drives. I noticed the upgrade changed the kernel to "Linux debian 2.6.26-2-amd64" (do have 64bit CPU).

Once loaded to a command prompt I can assemble my raid 6 array with the command "mdadm --assemble /dev/sda to sdd" then mount it with mount -a. But transfers to the array are horribly slow ~1mbs.

Upon reboot i get the same errors and have to assemble my array every time.

Does anyone know how I can amend this situation?


Thanks for your time

libuuid.so.1 cant open shared object file

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 16 hours 52 min ago
I tried to upgrade my slackware xfce 13.0 >> 13.1
I read "man slackpkg" first, and then I did exactly what I read at the man pages, my system was in init 1 mode.
The mirror I used it was the Greek mirror for 13.1
The command slackpkg upgrade-all was running ok until the "r" letter after that all packages did not upgraded because it was ERROR CHECKSUMS.md5 to all of them.
Slackpkg did not upgrade all this packages but just check them and them skip them.
When everything stopped I reboot but at loading time it stops and I have this message:
"libuuid.so.1:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

After that I have 2 options to press control-d to reboot or to give root pass and login as root@(none):
After I login I cant connect to internet, I cant shutdown the system only reboot it from cl, I even cant go to init 1 or anything else.
I dont know if I can fix the problem but I have to try...


USB Boot CD

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 16 hours 55 min ago
Hi there,
this is my very first posting on the forum, so pls bare with me if I didn't follow some rule...
I'd like to boot my Lubuntu live-USB stick from a CD (this machine doesn't support booting from USB directly). There's a tutorial on the Pendrivelinux site about how to do this, but those commands are looking for a file called "stage2_eltorito" in the /boot folder, and the file doesn't exist. Any suggestions? Maybe a different way to accomplish this? Another tutorial? Thank you in advance!

I am writing a bash script where I would need to down load few file from server but the glitch is authentication is being performed by SSO/Siteminder server.
Does anyone aware of a option or trick with wget or curl to authenticate against SSO and then download the file from the server.

Standard http-user and http-password definitely does not suffice the need.

xfce died (!)

LinuxQuestions.org latest posts - 17 hours 38 min ago
I was just mucking about in xfce, trying out new window buttons in conjunction with the black theme - dusk?? - when POW! - X shut down. Rebooting didn't restore things. Error is along these lines:

xfce4-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
xfwm4: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
(xfce4-settings-helper: 2134): libxfcegui4-WARNING **: ICE I/O Error
(xfce4-settings-helper:2134): libxfcegui4-WARNING ** Disconnected from session manager
Thunar: Fatal error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
xfce4-panel: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.
Agent pid 2036 killed
xinit: connection to X sertver lost
waiting for X server to shut down xfce4-settings-helper: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

Is there a config file I can edit to get away from the window button setting it dislikes, or is reinstalling xfce the only option?
P.S: I'm back on 13.1.
