systemdlete | su - otheruser /path/to/command does not work the way I expect. It prompts me for the password, takes the first character without echoing, but then emits linefeed and echos all subsequent characters. This is on beowulf. | 08:11 |
---|---|---|
rwp | systemdlete, Is your problem with su or with /path/to/command? But the syntax being used does seem most irregular to me. | 08:32 |
systemdlete | rwp: THe syntax changed with this release of the system. You can now indicate a user and a command to execute. | 08:36 |
systemdlete | The problem is with echoing of password characters, not user OR which command. | 08:37 |
rwp | It was always possible to indicate a command. But usually with the -c option. | 08:37 |
systemdlete | See the man page. or the short help from the command itself. | 08:38 |
systemdlete | Again, the problem is the echoing of password characters, regardless of the syntax. | 08:38 |
systemdlete | It might just be something going on with my particular install, idk. | 08:39 |
rwp | So normally su (and other password reading programs) will put the terminal into raw mode before reading the password. | 08:39 |
systemdlete | Yep. That's what I was expecting it to do. | 08:40 |
rwp | So... I would start by looking at 'stty -a' and comparing the behavior against 'sudo' which will do the same thing. | 08:40 |
systemdlete | But it only does that for the first character. | 08:40 |
systemdlete | sudo works fine, btw. | 08:40 |
systemdlete | ok. I see the problem; it was just that one terminal session. I opened another window, got a fresh shell. So maybe stty was messed up or something. | 08:42 |
rwp | Which version are you using? (I have ceres available immediately here.) | 08:42 |
rwp | Oh good! | 08:42 |
systemdlete | I did not intentionally change term settings. | 08:42 |
rwp | If you still have the terminal around you could dump the settings from it and compare them with another terminal. | 08:43 |
rwp | Additionally you could look at your shell history and see if anything looks possibly likely to be a problem. | 08:44 |
clort | if you run some nested xserver, xclipsync is a nice utility to share primary paste buffer or clipboard | 08:45 |
clort | i'd like to sync pastebuffer and clipboard, so any write to either gets echoed in the other | 08:45 |
Weeezy | is it possible to set the parameters that initiate the battery charging, at what power level it starts at particularly? | 15:28 |
gnarface | you might be able to turn charging on and off by poking at stuff in /sys/ | 15:34 |
gnarface | just a guess | 15:34 |
gnarface | i haven't heard of any charging threshold sort of thing, i would guess you'd have to implement that in userspace | 15:35 |
Weeezy | there seems to be lot's of ways to look at the status of the battery | 15:36 |
gnarface | yes | 15:36 |
Weeezy | they all show a certain amount of charge, and indicate it's charging, while not actually charging | 15:37 |
Weeezy | I have two laptops that do the same thing | 15:37 |
gnarface | hmm, could be old batteries? | 15:38 |
Weeezy | both have good batteries | 15:38 |
gnarface | try putting the cpu frequency governor in power saving mode? | 15:38 |
Weeezy | hmm. | 15:39 |
gnarface | it's theoretically possible to outrun the charger | 15:39 |
Weeezy | good point | 15:39 |
gnarface | doesn't really seem common but it would be the type of thing that could happen to new or old hardware | 15:40 |
Weeezy | I think both laptops are aprox. four years old | 15:41 |
gnarface | though i would kinda expect that to be more of a problem with mobile devices than pc laptops | 15:41 |
gnarface | ...outrunning a good charger, that is | 15:41 |
gnarface | but if the chargers were weakening, that could be a symptom | 15:43 |
gnarface | there might be some representation of the actual current being used in there to charge too | 15:43 |
gnarface | somewhere | 15:43 |
gnarface | i think | 15:43 |
Weeezy | I suppose it could be a bios defect, tho I have updated them to newest available. | 15:44 |
gnarface | acpi is installed? | 15:45 |
gnarface | acpid is running? | 15:45 |
gnarface | stock kernels from the repos? | 15:46 |
Weeezy | it is installed | 15:46 |
Weeezy | acpi -b returns: battery 0: Unknown, 17 | 15:49 |
gnarface | that's odd | 15:49 |
gnarface | there are some modules associated with battery charging, i wonder if you have not loaded them? | 15:49 |
Weeezy | something is unknown, I'm not sure what the unknown thing is supposed to be | 15:49 |
gnarface | could just be a missing driver or missing feature in the driver, but it also might just be an autoload glitch afaik | 15:50 |
Weeezy | man page doesn't tell me much | 15:50 |
gnarface | lsmod |grep battery | 15:51 |
gnarface | ? | 15:51 |
gnarface | any modules loaded with battery in the name? | 15:51 |
Weeezy | battery 20480 0 | 15:52 |
gnarface | hmmm | 15:52 |
gnarface | i wonder if task-laptop would help | 15:52 |
gnarface | seems like a stretch though | 15:52 |
gnarface | might be a actual kernel problem | 15:52 |
Weeezy | well, anyway, dinner bell is ringing. | 15:54 |
Weeezy | thank you gnarface | 15:54 |
n4dir | The PC boots directly into Windows, and i can't figure out the keyboard shortcut to go into BIOS to make it boot from CD or USB Stick | 15:58 |
n4dir | this is the motherboard: https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/J4105B-ITX/index.asp | 15:58 |
n4dir | what to do? | 15:59 |
gnarface | try them a?? | 16:00 |
gnarface | all? | 16:00 |
gnarface | Weeezy: sorry i couldn't help. i'd search google for the model name of the laptop and linux | 16:00 |
n4dir | as it boots pretty fast that isn't really an option | 16:00 |
gnarface | n4dir: certainly the online manual says | 16:01 |
n4dir | So i got the shortcut, F2 or Del, but nothing happens when switching it. It then just hangs at the ASRock page | 16:18 |
n4dir | Uh yeah. Now am in what i call BIOS. | 16:20 |
n4dir | Boot options menu has Boot option 1 and Boot option 2 | 16:20 |
n4dir | both have: Windows Boot manager. UEFI. Disabled | 16:21 |
n4dir | Would i choose "Disabled" ? | 16:21 |
tuxd3v | n4dir, boot option 1 is the one it will use to boot :) | 16:51 |
tuxd3v | you need to choose the correct option as 1 | 16:52 |
tuxd3v | you can disable UEFI | 16:52 |
n4dir | uhum. thanks | 16:53 |
tuxd3v | you installed devuan in other disc? | 16:54 |
tuxd3v | or is the same for windows and linux? | 16:54 |
n4dir | I am in the middle of installing | 16:54 |
tuxd3v | ha ok | 16:54 |
tuxd3v | :) | 16:54 |
KREYREN | How much do i have to see devuan's torrent to get virtual headpats~ | 19:48 |
furrywolf | none, as long as you're cute and fluffy. | 19:56 |
gnarface | last i heard it definitely could use more seeders | 19:57 |
gnarface | if you're the only one it probably won't take much to be appreciated | 19:58 |
furrywolf | alas, seeding torrents isn't practical on my mobile data. | 19:58 |
plasma41 | I'm now reminded that I haven't begun running my bittorrent client since my last reboot. Seeding now resumed. | 20:03 |
KREYREN | fr33domlover, i am cuty, but not too fluffy~ | 20:15 |
KREYREN | fwiw seems to have a lot of seeds already around 60 | 20:15 |
