Ncus Login To Terminal

When I run terminal in Linux Ubuntu, it runs normally. By that I mean that there is no login required. I am actually not sure if it is supposed to ask for login information, but I am wondering if there is a way that I could make the terminal ask for such whenever I run it.

If any task that require a root previledges, you will be asked for root (sudo) password.

As userDepth said in comment that When you log in to your session you are already logged in,

It is a non-login interactive shell. In this case of an interactive but non-login shell, only ~/.bashrc is executed. In most cases, the default ~/.bashrc script executes the system’s /etc/bashrc.

You can read:

When you login to system and open a terminal,it's a gnome-terminal and when you did Ctrl+Alt+F1, it is Virtual terminal. Virtual terminals can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 till F6. To come back to the graphical session, press Ctrl+Alt+F7.

TRANSFERING DATA

Unfortunately no, since the screen is not big enough and not of a high enough resolution to support the graphics, although I have managed to connect to BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) with my NC200, this is how I did it:-

Step 1: Connect an external modem to the Amstrad's serial port.

Step 2: Enter the Serial Terminal Program [FUNCTION-S].

Step 3: From the menu press [C] to configure the terminal as follows:-

Baud rate : 4800bps
Parity: Even
Stop bits: 8/1
Echo: No
Add linefeed: No

Step 4: Press [Stop] to enter Terminal Mode.

Step 5: Type [ATDT #] # is the BBS phone number.

Here is a few BBS's you can try :

Total Perspective Vortex -- 1 607 272 4060
The Hive -- 1 607 256 2680
The Forum -- 1 607 272 1371
Martian Empire -- 1 607 272 6487
Arcade -- This is good but I don't have the number (please E-mail me if you find it).

Sometimes you get the error message 'No carrier' or 'Busy'. This is because too many users are on the site at the time.

To find out BBS numbers type in BBS from your favorite search engine (on your PC) to get a list.

Sending E-mails

When I was on holiday, I wanted to be able to send E-Mails. For those of you with Compuserve, you can send e-mails from your NC100/200. I haven't been able to do this because I don't connect to Compuserve, but I was told about it by [email protected] so, if you want to know more about this I'm sure he won't mind if you e-mail him.

Since the BBC Microcomputer uses 5 1/4' floppy disks, you cannot load your files into your PC (or NC200) using the disk drive.

I did some experimenting and found that the BBC Micro has a serial port like the NCs, but it uses the RS423 standard rather than the RS232. The two are supposed to be compatible, but I had a few problems getting the link to work.

The cable between the two computers is shown below. The NC needs a standard female 9-pin D plug, whereas the BBC uses an unusual 5-pin DIN connector (this could be the '5-pin C type' connector on page 387 of the current Maplin catalogue, order code RK64U, but please check before ordering). Although the diagram shows the wire to transmit from the NC to the BBC, I did not test this.
Once the cable is made, connect the two computers and set the NC serial port baud rate to 300 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. I found that the link only worked without glitches at this slow speed.
Write the following program in BBC BASIC on the NC, which will be used to capture the data from the serial port and save it to the file 'program'. The B MOD 128 is needed due to the fact that some of the bytes were still corrupted by the transfer. Every few bytes the top bit of the byte was mistakenly set, meaning that 128 was added to it's value. For example, sometimes 5 was sent as 133 (5+128=133). Using B MOD 128 removes the 128 if it is present.10 ONERROR IF ERR=202 GOTO 40 ELSE CLOSE#0:END 20 K=OPENOUT('PROGRAM') 30 S=OPENIN('COM:') 40 B=BGET#S 40 VDU27,B MOD 128 50 BPUT#K,B MOD 128 60 GOTO 40
Remember to save the program!
On the BBC Micro, load your program, and set the baud rate to 300 baud using *FX8,3.
On the NC, run the above program.
On the BBC Micro, type *FX3,1 to send output to the screen and the RS423 port. List your program and watch as the NC also lists the program! (if all goes well.)
When the listing is finished, press STOP twice on the NC, and type *FX3,0 to stop output going to the serial port.
Go into the NC word processor and edit out any 'rubbish' that may be in the 'PROGRAM' file.
You can now *EXEC the program into BBC BASIC and run it!

HINT : If the BBC Micro stops putting anything on the screen, it's because you haven't turned off the serial port with *FX3,0 and the port buffer has become full!

The problem of bytes above 128 not getting through means that only text files can be easily transfered. However, the problems I found might not exist on your machines, so just experiment.
If you really need to transfer real binary data, you could always convert it to hexadecimal and send it using the symbols 0-9 and A-F. A program on the NC would then be needed to convert the strings back into binary.

I've been mucking about with file transfers after making up a serial transfer cable. I've had very good and speedy results with a free program called Tera Term Pro which you can download by clicking here. Empire earth 3 digital download.

It has a simple 'send' mode off the File menu that throws files down to the NC100 without delay. On the way back the Xmodem receive has a check box for 'Checksum' and seems to work fine.

Windows Vista does not include HyperTerminal, but you can download it here. To install it, simply extract the files and place them in the Windows System32 folder (normally C:WindowsSystem32). Then run the hypertrm.exe program by double-clicking on it.

Please see the Serial Transfers: NCs and PCs feature to find out how to use HyperTerminal.

I have recently purchased a conventional PC and have about 500 pages of documents in my NC200. When I try to transfer them to Word I get the blocks and symbols. Is there any software available to convert them to Word files? I do not want to re-type 500 pages any help would be most gratefully received.

Fortunately, this question is fairly easy to answer because the NC200 has the function you need built in.

NC200 Word Processor documents are stored in Protext format, which is like ASCII (plain text) but with extra codes to tell the Word Processor where things such as underlining and bold should appear. These codes account for the 'blocks' you have been seeing in Word, since Word does not understand them.

Ideally, you need the documents to be converted to plain ASCII text. This function is built into the NC200:

Go to the File List (FUNCTION-L) and select all the files you wish to convert using the spacebar.
Insert a blank, formatted disk
Press MENU to see the Document Operations menu.
Press F to see the Formatting and Export Options menu.
Press A to Export the Marked Files as ASCII.
Press Y to confirm the copy to the disk.

You can now load the files into Word, and they will appear as plain text in the 10pt Courier New font.

However, they are still not perfect, because there is a carriage return character at the end of each line which will prevent proper text wrapping in Word. You can see this character if you click Show/Hide on the toolbar (the icon that looks like a backwards P).

To correct this requires the use of the Find/Replace function in Word:

Go to Edit..Replace..
In the Find what box, type ^p^p. In the Replace with box type <BREAK>. Click Replace All. This marks the end of every paragraph.
In the Find what box, type ^p. Delete everything in the Replace with box. Click Replace All. This removes the carriage return characters.
In the Find what box, type <BREAK>. In the Replace with box type ^p^p. Click Replace All. This puts back the line between each paragraph.

You can now format your documents as required and save them as native Word documents.

If you have got tables in your document (using SYMBOL and the cursor keys draws lines in the NC200 Word Processor), Word will ask you to select the encoding for the file as you open it. If you select OEM United States, the line characters will be preserved. This tutorial uses Word 2000 - the options should be similar in previous versions.

Discussion from the NC User Group, started 09/02/2002..

Eric Eason: I want to know what I have to do to get a PC with a PCMCIA slot to recognise the 1Mb PCMCIA card from my NC100.

When I slot it into the PC card reader it says it isn't formatted and asks if I want to format it. So far I have been resisting the urge to click 'yes' fearing it will wipe the data from the card.

--//--

Stefan Stumpferl: Well, the PC has another Card program and it uses a PCMCIA card as a logical drive. The NC uses it as memory. There are programs on the market for transferring the data. Look at Wiedmanns homepage (http://www.wiedmann.com/).

The homepage is in German, but they speak English; just ask them.

When using the serial connection, with the card plugged in, the document-receive (PC to NC100) transfer rate may be very slow (41 chars a second) and it will fail often. I think this is because it is writing to the card as it transfers, which is very slow, it may also use more power. So, switch off, unplug the card, switch on, transfer the document into RAM (at around 780 chars a second), open this document in the writing program, then switch off, plug the card back in and switch it back on, then save it back onto the card by exiting the writing program. Always switch off the machine before plugging or unplugging the card, of course, unless you want to take the risk of damaging the card or your machine.

Many modern PCs no longer have a serial port fitted at the back, so if you wish to transfer data from your Notepad or Notebook you will need to find another way.

Fortunately, you can purchase a USB-to-RS232 serial port converter to connect a standard serial lead to a USB port. I used a USB-RS232 converter with 1m of cable from www.easysync.co.uk - the 1m of cable is handy if your only free USB ports are at the rear of your PC.

The driver software supplied with the converter creates a virtual serial port, which Microsoft Windows names 'COM4', allowing any software that normally uses a serial port to communicate via a USB port. The cable is supplied with a male serial connector at one end, so a male-to-female connector converter (which I already had) is also required in order to attach it to the Notepad or Notebook serial port.

The process of transferring data is then started as normal, using the Notepad/Notebook Serial Transfer Program and HyperTerminal, as explained elsewhere on this website.

--//--

George Hill

I bought a serial/USB lead from eBay - the NewLink model, which is cheaper than the one which George mentions. Delivery and installation were fine.

Incidentally, on my PC, it connects as COM3. You can find out the COM port number via Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports (COM and LPT).

Unfortunally, it didn't work! I found out that I needed a null modem cable (around £3) as well.

So, my complete connector now looks like this:

PC >> USB lead >> gender changer >> null modem cable >> NC200

OS X's command line and I have never been what I'd call 'friendly'; rather, we have a mutual respect and understanding about not messing with each other. (Well, as much of a mutual respect as one can have between a human being and a code window.)

While the average person should never have any reason to visit Terminal, Apple's command line interface app actually does give you access to quite a few neat tricks and shortcuts.. if you're willing to take a peek.

What is Terminal?

Apple's Terminal app is a direct interface to OS X's bash shell — part of its UNIX underpinnings. When you open it, Terminal presents you with a white text screen, logged in with your OS X user account by default.

Here's the important part: With a system administrator account and password, you have direct access to tweaking almost everything about your computer's software code; that means that while this little window provides great power, it comes with great responsibility. In short, be careful before using Terminal to execute commands, and make sure you understand what you're typing.

You can also use Terminal to securely connect to other machines, web servers, and even create your own scripts, but those are how-tos for another day. For now, we're going to focus on using Terminal to explore your own computer.

Basic Terminal commands you should know

Before we get started with the fun stuff, let's learn some basic Terminal terminology and commands. These form the framework for more complex interactions (aka, the fun stuff).

How to execute a Terminal command

You can type something in the Terminal window until you're blue in the face, but it won't execute until you press the Return key on your keyboard. At that point, it will either return an error if you've typed something incorrectly, or the command will execute.

Unless you're executing a command that requires the display of text in Terminal, you won't have any indicator that what you've done has been successful; you'll just get a new line with your user name on it once the command is finished processing.

When writing commands and paths in Terminal, almost everything is case sensitive: This means that you need to remember to properly capitalize 'Dock' when referring to the Dock, or OS X won't understand your command.

What's a path?

You can use Terminal to get direct access to your files without using the Finder. To do so, you build something called a path. Paths look similar in some ways to website sub-directories, and follow the structure of your folders.

Paths take two forms: absolute paths and relative paths. An absolute path starts at the root level of your hard drive, and is displayed as '/'. So if you wanted to make a path to your Applications folder, you would write '/Applications/'.

Relative paths are defined based on where you've already navigated to, and represented by './'. For instance, if you go to the '/Applications/' folder in Terminal, that's your current working directory (cwd). You can then get to your Utilities folder by typing './Utilities/' rather than '/Applications/Utilities'.

When you first launch Terminal, you're starting in the current working directory of /Users/myusername/ (also known as your User folder).

How to display and move between files in Terminal

To actually put all this path knowledge to use, you'll need the Terminal commands for displaying and changing files.

ls: The 'ls' command, by itself, displays the contents of the cwd. So if I were just to type 'ls' in Terminal, it would display the contents of my user directory:

You can optionally add an absolute or relative or path if you want to view a different directories. So, for example, if I wanted to view the Utilities folder inside Applications, I could type 'ls /Applications/Utilities/'. This won't change your current working directory, but it'll let you view other directories on your hard drive.

You can add options to view more information about that directory. The options for 'ls' include:

-l, which lets you view the permissions of each file in the directory
-R, which will not only show each folder in the directory, but all their files, as well
-a, which will show any hidden files in the current directory

cd: Where the 'ls' command lets you view a directory, the 'cd' command will actually move to that directory (change your cwd). For instance, if after viewing the Utilities folder, you want to move to it, you'd type 'cd /Applications/Utilities/'.

pwd: Write this command by itself to help you remember the path of your current directory. When typed into terminal, it will print the full path of your cwd.

man: This command, followed by another Unix command, lets you read the Unix manual about the second command. This is super useful if you want to try a cool Terminal trick you found online, but aren't sure what those commands actually do.

For instance, typing 'man ls' will get you information on the 'ls' command, which lists directory contents.

How to modify files, folders, and preferences in Terminal

defaults: This command is often used in Terminal tips and tricks to tweak applications and system settings via their preference files. You can use it to do things like disable transparency in the menu bar, always show your scroll bars, change trackpad behavior, and much much more. You'll usually see this paired with either 'write' and a string, as with this:

The code above lets you save all your screenshots as JPGs instead of the system default PNG.

killall: If you execute a Terminal command that affects any system process or app, you're going to need to reboot the process to make it take effect. 'killall' followed by the process will do so. (This is also another way to force quit misbehaving apps or processes if your Force Quit menu isn't behaving.) Remember, this command and its target are case sensitive.

ln: OS X has long offered aliases, which let you create links to files, folders, and applications elsewhere in the system without having to duplicate them. Unfortunately, certain apps don't play well with aliases. With the link command 'ln -s', you can create a low-level, UNIX-based symbolic link which most system processes will recognize. Likely, you'll never have to make a symbolic link, but on the off-chance you want to perform a Terminal trick that requires them, this is how you do it.

The first path listed is your original file's path; the second path is where you'd like your symbolic link.

chflags: This commands lets you view and change the flags on a file or folder. For most people, the only flags you're going to care about are 'hidden' and 'nohidden', which hide and unhide documents, respectively.

sudo: If you spend any time online, you've probably heard of 'sudo' before. This is Unix's override command, and lets you execute any command as an administrator — provided, of course, that you have the requisite password and permissions. It probably goes without saying, but as a Terminal beginner, it's generally a good idea not to mess with commands like 'sudo' unless you are 100 percent sure what you're doing.

How to use Terminal for fun and whimsy

say: Feeling lonely? You can make your computer say anything you like with the 'say' command, and you can even record it in audio format to your desktop, if you so choose.

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl: This isn't technically something local to your Mac, but it's my all-time favorite Terminal trick. Some kind soul on the internet made an all-ASCII version of Star Wars: A New Hope; run the following code, and you'll be treated to a full showing. If it doesn't make you smile just a little bit, you might be dead inside.

To your first question:

depending on what you want to do. The password will be asked of you once you hit enter! I'm guessing you really want to use mysql and not mysqladmin.

For restarting or stopping the MySQL-server on linux, it depends on your installation, but in the common debian derivatives this will work for starting, stopping and restarting the service:

In some newer distros this might work as well if MySQL is set up as a deamon/service.

But the question is really impossible to answer without knowing your particular setup.

I assume you are looking to use mysql client, which is a good thing and much more efficient to use than any phpMyAdmin alternatives.

The proper way to log in with the commandline client is by typing:

Notice I did not type the password. Doing so would of made the password visible on screen, that is not good in multi-user environnment!

After typing this hit enter key, mysql will ask you for your password.

Once logged in, of course you will need:

to do anything.

Good-luck.

I had the same exact issue on my ArchLinux VPS today.

mysql -u root -p just didn't work, whereas mysql -u root -pmypassword did.

It turned out I had a broken /dev/tty device file (most likely after a udev upgrade), so mysql couldn't use it for an interactive login.

I ended up removing /dev/tty and recreating it with mknod /dev/tty c 5 1 and chmod 666 /dev/tty. That solved the mysql problem and some other issues too.

To stop or start mysql on most linux systems the following should work:

The other answers look good for accessing the mysql client from the command line.

Good luck!

baraboombaraboom

you should use mysql command. It's a command line client for mysql RDBMS, and comes with most mysql installations: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql.html
To stop or start mysql database (you rarely should need doing that 'by hand'), use proper init script with stop or start parameter, usually /etc/init.d/mysql stop. This, however depends on your linux distribution. Some new distributions encourage service mysql start style.
You're logging in by using mysql sql shell.
The error comes probably because double '-p' parameter. You can provide -ppassword or just -p and you'll be asked for password interactively. Also note, that some instalations might use mysql (not root) user as an administrative user. Check your sqlyog configuration to obtain working connection parameters.

ceziocezio

if u got still no access to db, 1. in ur error message is set no password right?then first do mysqlpasswd 'username'after that enter and then give it a password type again as requested and then try to access again with mysql -p if you are root

user2807050user2807050

if you're already logged in as root just

prompting the password will otherwise return as error
