Debian Multimedia :: Start Both Client And UI Of An App From Menu?
Dec 5, 2010
I use a P2P application (KMLDonkey), whose client (mlnet) can be either started automatically, at startup, or manually, after login. At installation, when prompted, I chose the former so as to minimise the number of clicks. However, with time I found it inconvenient because, of course, it would start downloading even though I haven't started its GUI yet or don't plan to use it at all.
What I would like is to click on 1 entry in the menu and have the client and, in sequence, the GUI start when I decide to use the application. Perhaps this would require a short script in /usr/local/bin? I've tried to write one, but failed miserably, as I'm not good at it. I use KDE, but the application or the desktop manager themselves are not important here, for the solution would apply to any application with a separate client/GUI.

For many years, I was happily running VMware virtual windows machine (XP, now Win7) on my linux host. Using the VMware unity mode I had the perfect, seamless integration of windows applications on my favourite linux desktop. However, VMware has dropped unity support for Linux hosts in their latest release 12. So I need a new method to get my seamless integration.
I have set up some launchers for the most commonly used windows applications to run them as RemoteApp via xfreerdp directly from my dock. That seems to work OK. Now sometimes I have to access some other program or maybe the control panels or something like that. For this purpose it would be very useful to be able to launch the (or any 3rd party) "start menu" as remote up and from there launch whatever is needed. So far I did not find anything that looked like a StartMenu.exe I could use
How I could access the start menu via RemoteApp.
VMware Unity was way cool. I tried Seamless Mode in VBox, but that doesn't cut it for me ....

I installed the latest Debian on a computer to make a backup appliance. No GUI.When the computer starts, everything is okay. The DHCP client is running, the network interface have an address, fine.If I do a /etc/init.d/network restart (or stop + start), no more DHCP client. t is stopped when the interface is down. When the interface is up, I have to start it manually.1 - is it normal ?2 - isn't ifup's job to launch the dhcp client ?3 - can /etc/network/if-up.d be the right place to resolve this ?

I've never really found an FTP client that I really like, but until recently I've been using gftp. Now I'd like to switch from ftp to sftp, and when I try this in gftp (using the host ftps://ftp.website.com) it just says this:FTPS Support unavailable since SSL support was not compiled in. Aborting connection.

Is there any way get a VoIP-client with ZRTP-support for SIP, without having to add extra third party repos, ect.? Is there anything in the the Debian repo's that actually support this protocol at all?
None of the two clients I've tried so far (Linphone and SFLphone) work out of the box on Debian. Linphone doesn't work with ZRTP on Debian (bug #743474), it work an all other systems, but not for Debian. SFLphone is no longer supported, as it has gone to the project Ring, which cannot be installed without adding additional repos.

I am running debian testing, amd64 architecture on my box. I have 3 gmail accounts that I use regularly. I have used mainly thunderbird/icedove to access my mailboxes via imap.However, now two of them have really several tens of thousands of emails I often experience difficulties in dealing with them (the connection often freezes, browsing my folders is a pain).I tried also sylpheed and claws, but the situation has not really improved.I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong in the way I configured my accounts on the various clients (actually, some of them even boast automatic setup of gmail accounts).

Spice server/client configuration. I used remote viewer on debian jessie to connect to a guest virtual machine on kvm and everything works fine. It used a spice server / client and qxl. After I upgraded to debian stretch, I suddenly face issues with black bars in the remote client window. Those black bars appear only on the left and right side of the remote viewer window. Also in full screen mode the black bars sadly appear. Maybe the scaling mode is somehow disabled or my screen resolution of the host was wrong calculated related to that i can change the guest screen resolution but the spice remote client keeps its window size with the black bars. I was trying the last couple of days to resolve this issue, unfortunately without success.

I have setup SFTP and it is running without any problems. The problem I have is finding a client that supports key based logins through Linux. I do not want user based logins available and so far the solution works through my Windows machines using WinSCP. The only client I have found for Linux seems to be FileZilla but I have to convert my private key to the FileZilla format which removes the passphrase leaving it nice and insecure.

I am not sure if this is a qGIS issue or something to do with my desktop themes? In both KDE and GNOME Classic qGIS 2.12 does not have a menu bar, but only toolbars. What can be possible causes of this? In KDE the Windows Decorations are set to BE II preview, with a customized Desktop theme. Could this cause the menu bar not showing?

try to keep file system organized on XP instead of C:program files*everything goes blindly here I use C:MEDIA*category*application_name.So where in Debian on the hard drive are programs actually installed to? There's a couple programs that the sites merely gave me zip files instead of installers that were also not like in the package manager so I'd like to know where to extract those files.Also how do I create a shortcut in the "start" menu to the executable?

I play around with OpenBox and FBPanel, and quite like it.
I started to install both OpenBox and FBPanel in Debian, and the menu don't have any icons on it.
Simply I'm not going to reconfigure everything in both distro, I copied fbpanel configuration folder to my Ubuntu home.
Then I install FBPanel in Ubuntu it have icons within the menus.
This is FBPanel from my Debian Jessie
This is FBPanel from my Ubuntu
I've googled around without any luck about this problem. It's minor and everything else works okay, but still this shouldn't be happen. Since I see the screenshots of FBPanel in Debian they all have icons on it. Tried changing the icon theme, nothing works. If it's because FBPanel can't find any icon, then the launcher shouldn't have any icons right? Also, I use the exact same configuration on both.
Is it because Debian uses different version of FBPanel? Haven't checked both version tho.

When I start a second X session using startx --:1, (as either my normal user or root), it goes straight into and LXDE session (Debian's default, I think). Once LXDE is started, there is no applications menu (only run and logout). How do I get it to show the full application menu that my regular user can see when I log in from GDM3 normally?

trying to create a "local network" by directly connecting an IBM Thinkpad with Debian Linux installed on it to an Alix computer running Voyager Linux. I'm following a "how to" I found to create a music server, hence the requirement. My issue is I can't get a static IP address to be configured on the Debian machine.I've trawled the net and have found the instructions about editing the /etc/network/interfaces and have tried to do this. First I tried to get DHCP working so I could connect the Debian machine to the net and this proved successful. I edited the interfaces file to look as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then I tried adding a static IP address to the machine. As this is a network purely between two machines I made up the IP addres and used 192.168.0.1 and used a NetMask calculator to give me a NetMask of 255.255.255.254 (I told the calculator there would be 2 machines on the network). I then edited the interfaces file as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[code]....
I re-booted the machine (ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0 keeps saying that eth0 hasn't been configured - a problem there that I don't understand), but during boot up time it failed to assign the Static IP address to eth0 and made me go into SU mode. To fix it I simply replaced the interface file with the static IP inputs with the file that had the DHCP entries (I'd made a copy of the DHCP file), and re-started the machine. Everthing came up fine. So the first question is how do I get a static IP address to be assigned to eth0 such that whenever I shut down and restart the machine the static IP address is always loaded?
The second question is around creating the network via the cross over cable. From what I've found via Google, all I should have to do is create a static IP address on the Debian machine and a static IP address on the Voyager machine. Once they're connected by the cross over cable they should see each other. Is that correct, or do I have to do anything else?

I have some DVD's that I've saved to my comp as an ISO, in Ubuntu they would play fine in Movie Player or VLC, but I've just tried to play one on Debain Lenny and I have the following issues.
Movie Player:
Will play the video but wont bring up the main menu so that I can select which episode that I want. It won't even skip to the next one, it just starts playing the first.
VLC:
So I then though I'd down the trusted ol' VLC. VLC brings up the main menu but I can't select any thing. It just sits there and playing the menu screen for a bit and my mouse clicks seem to have know effect (except double clicking to change to full screen). Then it starts playing the first one, if I try to skip it goes back to the main menu and starts all over again.
This particular issue I sometimes had in Ubuntu with Movie Player (depending on the ISO) but VLC would still play it fine.
Update:
Just got VLC to run the menu correctly by doing the following:
File => Open Capture Device => File Tab => Browse to the file, select it. => Click OK.
I don't really want to have to do this every time I want to watch a video. Does any one know of a setting that will do this when ever I click on the ISO to play it?

I don`t know what kind of combination of keys I pressed, but the title bar of all windows in my Gnome vanished. Trying to fix it, I unmarked the option "show menu bar" in one of my windows. Then, I realised I couldn`t put it back either. It`s kind of frustating be stuck in such a small problem, but Gnome isn`t offering me any easy way to put these things back in place. maybe with a keyboard combination of keys that recovers all of this?
I did it, it recovered Gnome windows default, but the menus are still gone. It just erased my customizations (colors, window color, bar size, etc.)

There is a plethora of apps in the Debian distro -great stuff! Problem is, there is too much to display efficiently in the menus system as currently deployed. I'm thinking particularly of the Science section. Is there a way to rearrange the menus, so that there are sub-menus, such as Astronomy,Biology, Chemistry, Physics etc?
