Built a machine last summer, installed Ubuntu 12.04, and Folding@home client v 7.1.52. The machine is dedicated solely to Folding@home.
I run the machine headless, and ssh into it from any of our...

OK.

Thanks for all your help here. Problem solved, plus something new learned. :D

Then I'll use the dist-upgrade version from now on.

One final question: What is your recommendation for using/not using 'sudo apt-get autoremove' ?
As I understand it, that cleans away any old...

OK! :D

So would you recommend that I use 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' instead of 'sudo apt-get upgrade' from now on?

Actually, that seems to have done it. I was prompted to restart, so I did 'sudo reboot'.

When I ssh-ed back into it, the output was:


Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-30-generic...

Thanks. (I don't do the 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' daily, just 'sudo apt-get upgrade.)

The outputs are, respectively, :

The machine I have running Ubuntu is headless - no keyboard, mouse nor monitor. I ssh into it from either my PowerBook or iMac to keep an eye on temperatures.

I keep getting this upon first...

OK. Thanks everybody. Curiosity satisfied.

Thanks. I found that list earlier. Perhaps I should have been a little less vague :smile:

I'm interested in this notion that the system 'chooses'. In my case the system 'chose' to put the whole...

I have my Ubuntu (12.04) machine running headless, and have acquired several Terminal commands that enable me to do what I want via ssh from both my Intel iMac and G4 PowerBook. The Ubu machine is...

Thanks. I downloaded System profiler & Benchmark.

One of the things that occurs to me as a new user of Ubuntu (I've only been one since the 25th of June, so have no knowledge of Ubuntu prior to...

I had found the command

lshw
and ran it only to get the warning message that it should be run as super-user. It seemed to work anyway(?).

I like the

Has anyone used an up to date version of CPU-Z for Ubuntu on 12.04?

I have found references to it and CPU-G, but the info might be out of date as there is no mention of 12.04.

Thanks, levlaz. I'll give it a go.

I have two reasons for wanting to do this.

Firstly, my machine is a self-build that is dedicated solely to Folding@home, and eventually I want to remove the...

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.

Can I remove the keyboard and mouse from my machine temporarily, and then plug them back in without having to switch the machine off in between times? I mean without...

Forget that last despairing post. It seems to have worked, by some miracle, this time.

My God!

Major thanks to you both, spjackson and Cheesemill.

I think if I'd known how much trouble I was going to cause you guys I wouldn't have started all this :oops:

Just so I really know (!) what I'm to do,

(a) the command above - is it in place of...

Cheesemill, I swear I followed your advice to the letter (unless I'm going completely insane ... )

It didn't work, so I tried it again. This is the result as far as the command for copying the key...

Hah! Just as I'd started to enter the first command from your post, we had a power cut!! Welcome to the 21st Century ... excuse my cynicism ;)

After we were blessed with a return to power, I tried...

Since I seem to have made a hash of this, is it possible to go through the process again, thus cancelling and overwriting the previous attempt?

I am still able to ssh into the Umac OK, but only by...

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I get this result now :


/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

I can't believe what a mess I'm making of this.

OK -before I enter that though, would it just be 'user@host' at the end of that command, or 'user@host.local' ?

My hostname for the Umac is 'penfold1971-Z68MA-D2H-B3' (clumsy, I know) so either...

Great, thanks. And I apologise for being a bit tentative here. Uber-noob! :redface:

I got a reply, after entering a blank (i.e. space) for the passphrase, like this :


Your identification has...

That's correct. I know it must seem weird but the only other person around is my wife and she wouldn't touch Terminal with a bargepole, even if she knew where to find it. So having no password is...

I would like to login to my Ubu machine, from my Intel iMac, using ssh without the need of a password. This is a home setup I'm talking about, and I'm the only person who will ever be doing any of...
