I have Lenny PPC installed on my Apple G5 and am using a Danish PC keyboard, so that all the keys follow standard Debian configuration. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to open the CD drive to put a CD in. If I already had a CD in the drive, I could always right-click to eject, but that isn't the case.

I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I can easily create a .sh file that will execute a command in Terminal, but as soon as it executes the terminal disappears. How do I get it to stay? My idea is to have the keyboard shortcut "ctrl+alt+del" open a .sh file with the contents "ps ax". Then it would be just like having a task manager; the terminal would open with "ps ax" already executed, and all I would have to do is kill the process number.

I have tried eject /dev/cdrom, sudo eject, pressing the eject button but whenever i do , it just opens for like 1 second then closes right back. is this fixable within Xubuntu, or is this a physical problem with the cd drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you're familiar with macs, you know that they use command keys instead of control..
If I want to select all I press COMMAND + A not CONTROL + A copy is COMMAND + C, paste is COMMAND + V, quitting an application is COMMAND + Q.
I am used to this, and I would like to change the command key to be the control key, and the macs control key to be the "windows" key.

I tried one of the command-line based tutorials and couldn't get it to work. Seeing as I have little idea as to what I was doing, I'm going to need a gui. But come Natty, nothing appears to be working. I would think that this is a common question, so I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking.

- No sound
- Special buttons like brightness, sound, etc show up on Ubuntu when pushed but nothing actually happens. Same with the Eject button. Shows a status bubble in the top right that it's ejecting, but doesn't do anything.
- The touchpad, as it has no buttons on the Mac, is nearly not useable, but they say it works out of the box...
Also, side question... can you change control to be cmd? Like, swap them to match the Mac's layout?
When I open an open office document from an NFS share it always opens as readonly. This was a problem I had on Arch linux and the fix was to change the locking options in the soffice script but I've tried that fix here and it doesn't work. I've seen a lot of discussions but they all go back to changing the locking options in soffice, has anyone got any alternative fixes or one that definitely works with locking?

In Xubuntu 9.04 I could right click in any directory folder and have the option of opening a terminal window "there". So the terminal command line would open preloaded to that directory. I know, I'm lazy, but it sure made life (and command line work) easier. But it's not available in my new install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, I know that my gui environment has changed from xfce to gnome, but I would have expected MORE features, not less.

I recently managed to compile and install audacious 2.4.0 successfully. I prefer to browse my music folders and double click on the song I wish to play rather than use "open files" within audacious. It works fine to open the first mp3 but when I click to play another song instead of stopping the first one, it opens another instance of audacious and now both songs are playing. When I go into the properties of an mp3 and select open with > "other application" > audacious then click "Use a custom command" the following is in the box /usr/local/bin/audacious %f. is there any custom command I could use so that when I click another song audacious stops the currently playing song and plays the new one, without opening another instance?

I am trying to use a command to open a partition or disc from the top like open up external drive, and not have to be externaldrive/videos or whatever. The reason being is to use in cairo dock, I have tried to drag n drop like i am able to with regular folders, but no good. I seen the option to run a command, and figured I would try it that way.
I have the partitions and discs i want to access mounted. they are:
External Drive (/dev/sdc1)
Storage (/dev/sdb1)
Windows (/dev/sda2)
I tried to open them in terminal, /media/storage: no such file or directory;
/dev/sdc1: Permission denied;
open /media/storage or /dev/sdc1
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console;
se7en@PC:~$ nautilus /media/storage or nautilus /dev/sdc1 .....
Along with a pop-up saying 'the location is not a folder'.
I have a small board that has a static ram board attached to it. I have two different programs that each write to a byte of memory in the static ram board. I get a file descriptor to the device memory with the following code:
int phymemfd;
phymemfd=open("dev/mem, O_RDWR | O_SYNC);
This opens the physical memory for both reading and writing. Next I get a pointer to the beginning of my ram board.
volatile unsigned char *novram;
novram = (unsigned char *) mmap(0, getpagesize() * 31,
PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, phymemfd, 0x11AA0000);
I do this same code in two processes that are both running and this works fine. Now, if I take out the O_SYNC parameter, one of the programs gets into some sort of weird state.My understanding of the O_SYNC parameter is that it cause the process accessing the memory location to block, not allow another process to run, until the first process has finished writing to it.I can see that if my program doesn't block, I wouldn't really know what was in the memory location, but would I can't see how it would cause any other type of system problem.
