Enable FN-Lock at startup using Linux on E531

Hello guys,
as the subject title says: How can I enable the FN-Lock key at Linux startup on my Lenovo Edge E531. It's turned on during BIOS startup and Grub Bootloader, however, after that, it turns off automatically. I always forget to press FN+ESC after startup and already got crazy a couple of times, asking, why my computer doesn't do, what it is told, until I recognize the **bleep** FN-Lock is turned off.
So how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Running a Java program at startup in Linux

Hello
How do I run a Java program at startup in Linux? I know in Windows I can put a .bat file in C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\ directory, but in Linux I have no idea how it is done.
Thank you,
Mihai

This is really a Linux question, not Java.
And then it depends on the version of Linux you are using.
Maybe this will help, otherwise you should try on a forum for your version of Linux.

Random system lock-up or freeze / Linux 3.4

Hi
My system seem to regularly lock-up in the linux 3.4[1] series. Whenever this happens, I had to power cycle the system by holding down the power button. Keyboard, numlock, mouse wouldn't work. I'm still looking-out for a pattern that trips this lock-up consistently. The lock-up doesn't happen for days and can happen every other day as well.
During this lock-up nothing gets captured in the system log too. I parsed 'journalctl -a'. Here is a sample from such a lock-up:
Jun 30 18:01:01 chaembian /usr/sbin/crond[4747]: pam_unix(crond:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Jun 30 18:01:01 chaembian /USR/SBIN/CROND[4748]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Jun 30 20:45:03 chaembian kernel: Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset
Jun 30 20:45:03 chaembian kernel: Initializing cgroup subsys cpu
I noticed the lock-up around 18:30 and instead of forcing it to shutdown, I thought I would give it sometime to snap out of it. But nothing happened until 20:45, when I forced the restart. The only other anomalies are (picking out their first apperances):
Jun 25 13:57:33 chaembian kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880115e10a80 idx:1 val:-2
Jun 25 13:57:34 chaembian kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880115e10a80 idx:2 val:2
during shutdown
and
Jun 10 10:08:57 chaembian kernel: r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link down
Jun 10 10:08:57 chaembian kernel: r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link down
Jun 10 10:08:57 chaembian kernel: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
during boot[2]
I'm not sure if these precipitate the lock-ups but these are the things that stand out in the logs for my untrained eyes.
> uname -a
Linux chaembian 3.4.4-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jun 24 18:59:47 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Let me know if you require any more information.
1 - I was a regular -ck patched user. Since the time the series started serving 3.4 series, I was having lock-ups. Since the stock was still at 3.3 then, I was using the stock as I was trying understand the issue from the logs. But ever since stock moved into 3.4, the lock-ups are happening in this as well. Again, since I have not been able to recreate the issue on demand, I'm not able to attribute the regression to 3.4 conclusively.
2 - A similar issue that was reported from last year will be System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity. But the key difference is that my logs have just one instance of this message generated at the time of boot.

Yes, that's how I have it setup. Until today's forced power cycling earlier today, the journal had all the entries from June 10th. The system gets proper shutdown daily (there is a power shortage where I live and to counter there is a scheduled, daily power shedding for 1 hour).

Using Linux/Red Hat/Intel for Sun ONE/Java Directory Server

Anybody have any experience of this? We're looking to get off AIX, and Total Cost of Ownership for using Solaris/Sparc versus Linux/Intel is very similar.
The decider will be if no-one is using Linux as a platform for Sun ONE/Java Directory Server....
Any feedback would be appreciated....

We run Directory 5.1 in production on Solaris/Sparc, but I've tried it with sucess on Red Hat 7.2 on Intel. We have not been able to get it to work on Red Hat Enterprise 2.1 or 3.0. The main problem has been that the administration server fails on startup. Obvious the lack of support for the latest enterprise class Linux is a huge drawback. At this point I've decided to stay on Solaris/Sparc until Red Hat comes out with its own release of Netscape's Directory. When that happens we're going to evaluate whether to move the whole environment to Red Hat. The Sun and Netscape servers are almost identical in terms of features and performance, but having an open source version that can run on less expensive hardware would be a terrific win for us.

Lock screen during use since 10.2 installed on z10

"Enable Protected Mode at startup" stops printing to RightFax

I use a printer to print to RightFax. It uses a separate print processor to route the printer output to the RightFax Client. As long as I use RFPrint.dll for the print processor, AdobeReader 11.1 will not work with a printer using the custom print processor. The only way to get around this is to uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup." Is there a way to tell Adobe reader that this printer, or print processor is ok to print to?

Good point, Pat. My problem is that I am an engineer for OpenText and I do maintenance for the RightFax project. This does not just affect me. All of our customers that use RightFax with Adobe are affected by this. I would like to understand what Adobe does not like about our printer and fix that problem so that we do not have to tell all of our customers to disable Protected Mode. Also some of our customers feel that they want to leave protected mode on for better security and if they do, they cannot print to the RightFax Fax printer. So I need to know what is causing Adobe to reject our printer when Protected mode is on.

Enabling ssh with a startup config or similar?

Hello,
Im am currently testing the new features of IOS 12.2 55 SE1 called "Smart Install".
I got it working even though it still has many issues but that's probably because it is a very new functionality.
Anyways, we are using it currently in a lab-environment to test the "zero-touch" replacement of defective Switches. In that case the Director of the SI Network knows what config the defective Switch has saved last.
It then uses that exact config to deploy to the replaced switch as a startup config.
For Security Reasons we have the command "transport input ssh" on all lines enabled. (Makes sense if you want to shut out telnet).
Now, when the new Switch receives the IOS Update (which is also delievered in Smart Install) and therefore reboots, it now uses our startup config.
With the above mentioned command "transport input ssh" on the lines, we have no way of connecting to the newly replaced switch.
"Crypto keys cannot be generated on startup" is the message I see on the Serial-Console output.
Has anyone got an idea how we could work around this?
Is there a way to tell a switch he has to generate an rsa certificate to enable ssh without "touching" it?
I know that with the command "transport input all" this issue would not be an issue, but that is not an option for a possible productive Release. Since we are using a config of a switch that was running productively, the running config cannot allow telnet to be used..
I have asked Google, used this forum's search functionality and found nothing. I am absolutely sure though, that this is an issue many Cisco Users have to work with, so I was suprised not to find anything.
Details of our lab:
Director Switch: C3560 with IOS 12.2 55 SE1
Client Switch (to be replaced): C2960 IOS 12.2 55 SE1
Both have the crypto-image installed.

Hello Richard,
Thanks for your answer.
Smart Install gets the config to the new switch by telnet. Since a factory-new Switch can do telnet, the initial config comes from the director. It connects to the switch over a non-standard telnet port and issues the copy command to get the startup config from the tftp server. After that it does the same with the IOS. We can't really do anything because every interaction with the new switch stops the smartinstall process.
In your desscribed solution (I will test it later this week) it could be a working solution for deploying new switches.
In my Scenario however there currently seems to be no way to enable ssh when the startup config is the last known configuration from the switch that died, beacuse this startup config we cannot manually edit (it would defeat the purpose of this feature), since it is backed up by the director and the logic of deciding wheter or not this config is to be used runs on the director.
I am in contact with "our guys" from cisco, and they are trying to get feedback from the developer team of this feature. I will keep testing new releases for this issue and will report any progress.

Does Adobe Muse use Linux or Windows Hosting

I am just trying to change my webhosting and this not an area that I understand. I am just trying to confirm if Muse uses Linux or Windows Webhosting. I am assuming Linux but just wanted to confirm.
Angela

Hi Angela,
Irrespective of the OS that is running on your server, if you have forms in your muse design then the Muse generated code will include php files, so you will need to make sure that the server that you are uploading the content on has php installed to process the form data.
In addition you can run the form check script to see if your server has everything needed to be able to run a Muse site. Check this doc for more information on how to run the form check script, Troubleshooting Muse Form Widgets Used on Third-Party Servers, section - "How can I check if my hosting provider has the required technology enabled for my website?".

How to use Linux legally for business in the US

Hello.
I am doing some research on software patents and how they inhibit businesses in the US from using FOSS.
My question is, basically, what would a business have to do in the US to use Linux in place of Windows/Mac and make sure they are not violating software patents? Violating these patents (for example, including an illegal H.264 codec in a company's system image so that video can be played by employees) present a serious liability to US businesses and could potentially discourage them from abandoning a proprietary OS for a free one.
One portion (of many) of this discussion I do not understand is how does one guarantee their system is clean of illegal codecs? For example, assume if one used his/her package manager to delete any codec-related packages he/she could find. If this person used a web browser to navigate to a website that included in-page H.264 videos or sound effects encoded using MP3, would this content merely not function (meaning, the person would be legally safe but unable to play the content)? Or do web browsers have these illegal codecs built in? I don't understand how website programming works enough to know the answer to this particular question.
I would appreciate any insight on this issue (and/or any thoughts you might have on this subject).
Thank you for your time.

See distro's to avoid here if you are in the US:
http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html
And, linked from that page, see ones that should be safer:
http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

Being Free and based on Arch.
Now, the problem, completely free is very picky about the hardware it will run on so you will want to procure hardware specifically built to run under a Free system without issues. Licensed distributables you can get away with using, for example: Adobe Flash Player. Just accept the license agreement and you should be good to go. The minefield is that somewhere in even the Free code there could be a patent lying in wait. Something that someone in the US patented and the Free systems programmers were not aware of it. This is an issue in the US because commercial Operating Systems such as Windows will indemnify their users against patent infringement. On Free systems however you, the business using them, could end up being on the hook for significant damages.
The reason a completely Free system is very picky about what hardware it will run on is because all those binary blobs in common Linux distributions contain code that just makes stuff work. Without that you have to make absolutely sure that what you have will work with just Free software.

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Satellite L750 turns on and off by itself using Linux

Today I have experienced some strange behaviour on my notebook. It unexpectedly shuts down, after showing a dialog window saying "Your computer will shut down in 60 seconds". And then, when I turn it back on, it just shuts down before booting and it turns back on by itself after a few seconds.
It does not overheat, the CPU temp is normally between 50-60C (I constantly monitor it using Conky). Also, someone told me to upgrade the BIOS, so I did it, but the problem still persists. I have also tried to replace the RAM and run a memcheck, but everything looks fine on the memory side.
I use linux, and had a look on "/var/log/syslog", but I'm not sure I know exactly what to look for. The messages logged before shutting down don't seem to describe anything suspicious.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but it seems the problem is more hardware related and I would like to investigate what causes it to shut down so randomly. The same thing happens on Windows, but there's no warning before shutting down.
My notebook is a Toshiba Satellite L750-11w.
Any clues would be highly appreciated.

>I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but it seems the problem is more hardware related and I would like to investigate what causes it to shut down so randomly. The same thing happens on Windows, but there's no warning before shutting down.
You checked the notebook functionality using Windows system but did you use the Toshiba recovery disk and did you test it using factory settings?
Im wondering about the message: your computer will shut down in 60 seconds
If it would be an hardware problem, then the notebook would shut down without any warning messages.
Therefore I assume there must be an software issue I guess some setting triggers this automatic shut down.
But to be honest i have no idea what setting could be
If you think its hardware related problem, I guess only an notebook technician would be able to help you.
