I cannot find how to set VIM so that it higlight syntax (for exapmle bash scripts). I installed VIM package by using aptitude, but I dont have file .vimrc in my home directory. I found out that settings have to be written in this file. I can use command in VIM :"syntax on" but VIM shows syntax terrible. I think that is cause by some color setting.

I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.

There must be something simple that I have missed.
I have currently configured Postfix as an SMTP server. I would preferably not use a domain name in my email address, like so: myname@[1.2.3.4]
I'm currently testing to see how other mail servers handle this kind of address. When I sent a mail with one one of my gmail accounts, I see that the mail gets rejected due to bad syntax.
It seems as though Google is giving me a RCPT TO address like so: myname@1.2.3.4 However, the postfix server rejects this address with the following error:
501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax
To my best knowledge the only way to have an IP address inside an email address with to write it as a domain literal [1.2.3.4].
My question: how to configure postfix to accept myname@1.2.3.4 as well?
I have put both [1.2.3.4] and 1.2.3.4 in "mydestination" and 1.2.3.4 in "virtual_alias_domains".
It doesn't seem to work so far though.
So I was reading this thread on internet privacy and decided to 'upgrade' my system. I installed privoxy and tor and chained them from squid so it looks like this: iceweasel >> squid >> privoxy >> tor. All is working well except when I go to edit my privoxy default.action file I get a fatal error. I've got version 3.0.9-1 The original line in the newly installed default.action file. #+hide-referer{forge}
I edited it by simply removing the #. +hide-referer{forge} Then:su -c '/etc/init.d/privoxy force-reload'And I get this in the logfile.Sep 14 16:41:36.260 Privoxy(7f4fa64756e0) Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/default.action': first needed line (361) is invalid: +hide-referer{forge} I've even copy/pasted from the manual and to no avail.Have I been looking at to much text for the last two days?What am I missing?
After a search I've done, all the matches for the respective query remain highlighted and it's annoying. This happens even after I close the respective file (normal behavior?). How to I remove this?

I use ubuntu now and its awesome but there is one little thing that annoys me, i have looked through gconf and compiz conf and i still can't find a solution.
Its probably something really simple tho.
All it is, when i select an url, any url on any application a box pops up with the options:
open with firefox
send url
open with mozzilla
open with opera
can i stop this happening?
Anyone know how to get rid of the highlights (see pic) that come up in 10.04 since i installed it? They appear in different programs as well as the main menu and the taskbar at random.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI believe this to be a gnome issue because it happens on both my Ubuntu 10.04 systems and my Fedora 12 system.
What is happing is that it auto copies any text that I highlight, in any app, so, for example, if I highlight a URL on a web site, copy it, then highlight the URL in the address bar and paste it, it will have auto copied the URL that was already in the address bar overwriting the one I just copied of the web site.
This is starting to drive me nuts.
I find it annoying that to highlight a text field such as in Chrome or Firefox (i.e. the address field), it requires triple-clicking the box. In Windows those same programs will highlight the text with just a double-click.
I have my general ubuntu 'clicking' set at single-click so that if I want to run a program from a desktop icon I just click on it once. But is there a way to change the triple-clicking? Like I say, I've noticed it most in web browsers.
I'm looking for a simple text editor which could highlight all occurrences of search term in the opened text file. This is a feature that I particularly like in the Windows Notepad++ editor where any selected word is automatically highlighted in the rest of the document.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to know some PDF program for Ubuntu 10.10 so that I can highlight text with different colors as I read it and so that I can save it as intact as highlighted so that I will not have to rehighlight the same thing again and again when I open it. I have tried may softwares including the foxit pdf reader that has got the highlighting the text in windows version which is of course free of cost. But I didn't find it in the Ubuntu based Foxit reader version.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed a few minutes ago that although I can open the Places and System menus fine, when I click on Applications it highlights but no drop down menu appears beneath it as usual, and when I right click and select Edit Menus also nothing happens.
I have since restarted which did not resolve the issue.
How can I remedy this, and what could have caused the problem to begin with?
In GNOME there's an option to highlight your mouse when you press CTRL so that it's easier to find. That's a great function for me, because I work with several screens simultaneously. I really like KDE; does anybody know how to do the same thing in KDE or at least something similar? I haven't been able to find anything in Google.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIt's one of the features I always talk up to people I try to get to try Linux. I upgraded to Natty today and other than not super appreciating the inclusion of a default boot into Unity, I can't get the simple "highlight + click both touchpad buttons" to copy and paste between any application let alone within the same application. I have searched and searched for info on this. Nothing pops up. I've scanned the compiz settings. I just cannot figure this out.

I haven't upgraded anything or installed any new software so this is a bit confusing for me. How I may restore this function?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I highlight a word then delete it, the word is erased as expected. But when I highlight a word and begin typing a word to replace it (instead of deleting or hitting backspace), the first letter of the unwanted word does not erase... so I am required to watch my text very closely when editing.
For example: I'll type the word "fungus" and then highlight it and type the replacement word "mold" and when I look at the text, the word is "fmold". Am I the only one with this odd situation?
Is it possible to change the highlight colour of selected text when OOo Writer 3.1.1 is running under Xfce 4.6.1?
After using "Find and Replace" to search for and select text, the default pale blue used since 3.1 does not stand out clearly against a white background. This is particularly problematic for short search strings and for search targets found in the Table of Contents (blue text on grey background).
According to Robert Tucker in the OOo Forum thread "On Gnome on Fedora the background of selected text can definitely be changed at System>Preferences>Appearance, Theme Tab, Customize button, Selected items button". I cannot find any equivalent in Xfce; can it be done?
I'm trying to highlight some key words as tailing a log file using a perl script; about my case: I want to search for a keyworrs just once and highligt all occurrence of them. I want just highlit the keywords but not the whole line but the problems are that perl just catches the first keyword in a line and skip checking for other occurrence. for example if a line like "Error: some exception happen, Unable to process" it just highlight the error and do not process the remain part of the line where it should hilight the word "exception" and "Unable"
2-How can I do some action if for exapmle at least 4 time "unable" message appear ( not just in one line but diffrent line)in below is how I use perl search and replace : Code: s/(?:(unable|exception|warning))/e[1;31$&.......
