Terminal title doesn't change correctly

0 votes
286 views

When I open a new XFCE terminal, the window title is "terminal".

If I ssh to another computer via ssh mooch, the title changes to "sdstern@mooch:~" Typing "exit" to return to my desktop does not affect the window title.

Starting clean, "ssh -p 12345 linode.sterndata.com" does NOT change the window title.

Anyone know what's going on with XFCE Terminal?

Also, this is exactly the same thing I see if I use gnome-terminal instead, so this is probably a Works-As-Designed. Help me understand the design!

Best answer

Right click on the terminal and bring up preferences.
What do you have the "Dynamically-set title" option set to?

MySQL doesn't start automatically on system boot

according to several webpages, once installed you can set the mysqld service enable and start automatically when fedora starts.

for that you must run:

systemctl enable mysqld.service
systemctl start mysqld.service

however in my case this only start mysqld service for the running time. Once computer is restarted, mysqld does not start automatically.

How to mount an LVM2 volume in Fedora Linux.

Runnning old "Fedora 20-x86_64", and want to install Fedora-Kde-live-25-1-3.

Situation:
$ uname -rov
3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:08:50 UTC 2015 GNU/Linux

$ sudo lvmdiskscan
/dev/fedora/root [ 50,00 GiB]
/dev/fedora/swap [ 3,77 GiB]
/dev/sda2 [ 500,00 MiB]
/dev/vg_maq01/lv_swap [ 5,75 GiB]
/dev/sda3 [ 118,75 GiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/vg_maq01/lv_home [ 63,00 GiB]
/dev/vg_maq01/lv_root [ 50,00 GiB]
/dev/fedora/home [ 48,48 GiB]
/dev/sdb2 [ 500,00 MiB]
/dev/sdb3 [ 194,87 GiB]
/dev/sdb4 [ 500,00 MiB]
/dev/sdb5 [ 102,24 GiB] LVM physical volume
6 disks
4 partitions
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
2 LVM physical volumes

The /dev/sda* is a SSD(KINGSTON SV200S3128G) 128GB, with old "Fedora 16-x86_64", and only want to recover some files in /home.

The /dev/sdb* is a Seagate(ST3320613AS) 320GB, running old "Fedora 20-x86_64", with some important file in /home.

$ sudo lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/fedora/swap' [3,77 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/fedora/home' [48,48 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/fedora/root' [50,00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_maq01/lv_swap' [5,75 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_maq01/lv_home' [63,00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg_maq01/lv_root' [50,00 GiB] inherit

$ mount | grep /dev/mapper
/dev/mapper/fedora-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/fedora-home on /home type ext4
(rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

Problem:
Want to mount the SSD on "Fedora 20" to recover some files, copying it to /dev/sdb3 space(/dev/sdb3 not used/mounted). After this, I can erase all SSD and install "Fedora 25" on it.

Thanks for help.

systemd/sendmail problem on Fedora?

I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE, and sendmail/email (through KMail) is failing.
When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message", and journalctl has the entry
"sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory".

I've checked, and sendmail.pid is in place: 

$ sudo cat /run/sendmail.pid 
2829 
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h

Googling for the journalctl entry, I see people have been encountering this problem for years. But I haven't seen any solution offered. Several of the comments suggest that it is a systemd problem.

please help?

How to disable IPv6 configuration properly on Fedora Linux?

For some reason I have to temporarily deactivate IPv6 interface configuration on a F22 server box.

According to documentation (or at least as I understood) it could be done either by adding

IPV6INIT=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

or

NETWORKING_IPV6=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
to /etc/sysconfig/network

I tried both, executed "nmcli c reload", "systemctl restart NetworkManager", even rebooted the system. No change in network configuration. In ifconfig I have a local link address as well as a global address as advertised by the router and autoconfig based on mac address.

All those options are documented in usr/share/doc/initscripts/sysconfig.txt, so I guess these are still valid options.

Now I am wondering what I may have overlooked or missed?

Any hint appreciated.

What starts /usr/bin/pulseaudio on a fedora machine?

I looked in /lib/systemd and /etc/systemd, recursively, and none of the services or dependencies have the string pulseaudio in them.
