So, I usually face this problem when Im not using GUI based File Managers. They allow you to auto mount drives when you click on them but when you are using CLI based file managers or no file managers at all, the only way is to mount them through writing commands. Im a lazy fad and I want this done automatically. So heres a script for that. [ https://gist.github.com/Tafhim/5d0839caca813ae82c97 ].

#!/usr/bin/zsh
if [[ "$1" == "" ]] then
 echo "Please specify a device name";
 exit;
fi;
deviceFile=$1
 
## Auto mount only ntfs, fat32, vfat
for i in $(ls $deviceFile* | grep [0-9]$); do
 blkid -s UUID -o value $i | read z;
 blkid -s TYPE -o value $i | read f;
 echo "$z is $f";
 if [[ "$z" != "" && ("$f" == "ntfs" || "$f" == "vfat" || "$f" == "fat32" ) ]] then
 /usr/bin/udisksctl mount -t $f -b $i # https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
 fi;
done

I hate the fact that I have to figure this out for every new distro I use. But here it goes for Xubuntu. Tested and working in 14.04 LTS.

1. Open the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf
2. Find the line "HandleLidSwitch="
3. Set it like "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" and if it has a "#" (hash" in front of it, remove it.

Save and reboot and you are good. :)

I got into this problem lately in a Live environment of the new Ubuntu MATE release where no matter how many times I change the password using sudo passwd it simply does not effect chsh. So, when I type in

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh

It asks for the password. And when I type the password in, it does not work. It simply says "PAM: Authentication Failure". Ok, so go for Googling. Later, I found out that all user home and shell infos are stored in a file located by /etc/passwd. Now you need root to do this. So how do you get root? For a Live system, thats simple. just type in

sudo -i

It should give you the # prompt so youre root now. Now just open the file using your favorite editor like

nano /etc/passwd

Then find your user name and change the string right after the last : on that line. Done. Reboot and go. For now, I seriously dont know why chsh didnt work. :( anybody have any clues?

In my workplace they have Linux Mint 13 setup for the machines. I personally hate it and my employer too, so we will be shifting to some other Distro very soon, but in the mean time I had to make do with it. We have an extra display attached to every laptop. One of the things that bugs me the most is the "Power management" doesnt have any "Do nothing" option. And if you somehow (yes, theres a way) make it appear, it does the exact same thing as "Blank screen", so yeah, "Aw snap!!". It didnt take much of googling to find Mint forum page that solved the problem though [ http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=106532&f=208 ]
Basically the problem is caused by a faulty assumption in design. It always executes and Screen Blank instruction set, when you close the laptop lid. What you have to do is just comment out one line in the event handler script.
1. First open the file, you might need root rights to edit this, so use sudo if you need

/etc/acpi/lid.sh

2. The find the line

. /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank

3. Comment that line out with

#

It should be fixed immediately.

Chinese phone manufacturer is preparing to launch BBK vivo X3 thinnest smartphone in the world. In an effort to promote before the launch date, BBK has taken the idea of ??turning the phone 5.6 mm

I ran into this problem earlier this week and left it until today, when I needed it work at all cost. Turns out it was a simple issue with the configuration file. Heres the process.

First of all, open the file /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
Find the line : "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
Below that line there is a line like this: local all all md5
Just change the last value to: peer
So the line now looks like: local all all peer
Now save the file (you need to be root)
Then restart the Postgresql process using the command: sudo service postgresql restart
Done.
