I want to search for a file in Dolphin. I select 'Find' and "More Functions" but I columns for filetype, time and rating are not activated. How to have them activated? Online, I come across 'Baloo' service being required. What's that?
View 3 RepliesI just noticed that under my panel sub menu, there are no entries after I upgraded to 4.5 from 4.4.4. Also, the embedded terminal option seems to be gone, it now only fires off an external Konsole. I really used that feature a lot and it was very handy.

I am comiling some programs on Linux using gcc previously compiled using cc compiler on Solaris. Below are some of the confusions:
1. There is -xildoff option in cc which is giving error "language ildoff not recognized". xildoff in cc is for switching off the option of incremental editor ild. Is there anything equivalent on gcc?
2. There is runtime link option in cc as -R but gcc just says "unrecognised option". Does gcc only supports LD_RUN_PATH?
3. There is -Xa option to force cc to chose a particular flavor of c.Its for default c and K&R C. gcc has -std option but not sure which one is equivalent to -Xa in c. It seems -std=c90?
I can't find any proper power management options on Fedora 15, only really basic simple options under the Advanced tab of the Screensaver.Where can I change the Power Management settings in F15?I'd like to set it so that
- screen powers down on closing the lid only, else never powers down / or after a certain time.
- the machine never powers down, either on AC or on battery.
- screen dims on battery after some time, but no on AC.
- hard drive never powers down.
I previously used Fedora 14 and earlier version on my laptops, and could easily set these power management either through the Screensaver, or directly from another menu.Also, I enabled the "Blank Screen Only" mode in the Screensaver, and disabled the "Lock Screen After", but it still asks for a password after some time. How can I stop that?
Is there a way to find out with what options a library was configured with when it was installed? I am trying to install a library on my system that depends on gasnet and it requires me to configure it with the very same options that gasnet was configured with. Gasnet was not originally installed by me, so I cannot tell. I can see bin/, include/, lib/ and share/ directories in the gasnet folder and no other information in it. To be specific, I need to use the same CFLAGS that were used during installation of gasnet. For example, if it was installed using '-g -O2', I have to make sure I use the same CFLAGS here.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Debian 6.0 Testing with KDE4.4.5. I have two fixed ext3 partitions on the hard drive but when I click on the second partition in Dolphin the following error message appears: "org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume.permission denied, refusing to mount /dev/hda5 for uid=1000". I have searched the kde forum and other sites and have found reference to it on other distributions. It appears to be a hal configuration problem. KMint kde 4.4 seems to have resolved the problem as my other partition is running the same kde version and I can access the debian partitions. Perhaps I should just manually mount the partitions when needed!

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I am copying from DVD to my comp - Dolphin copies some files and directories and some did not. I have to check what was copied and what was ommited and fix the bad copying by copying again. The DVD is okay, it is perfectly readable. There is also plenty of memory around (8 GB). The behavior is new in Jessie, Dolphin in Wheezy used to work flawlessly.
I have met this strange behavior after copying archived data to my new Debian installation. The copyings were "huge tasks", for example 2000 files, more than 1GB total. "Small tasks" seem to copy okay. Nevertheless, the danger or missing files is annoying. What to do?
So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI plan to:
- replace my hard drive with a 32GB SSD (solid state drive) SATA-II
- copy my entire old drive to the new one
- Both my drives will be Ext3 and have no swap (I have lots of RAM)
1. Can a Debian lenny desktop boot from an SSD ?
2. Do I have to modify /etc/fstab with SSD-specific options ?
3. How about grub, any modifications ?
I'm just wondering what the options are if one wants to try a 'newer' kernel and/or XServer version.
Either on an installed system or virtual machine (for e.g., Squeeze in VirtualBox).
On an installed system, on Debian Sqeeze (or Testing), if one wants to upgrade to 2.6.36 kernel and/or XServer 1.9, what are the options? I noticed that 1.9 is available in experimental so one has to enable and load the experimental package repository?
As for the kernel, I guess there's a few options? One includes installing the liquorix kernel? Best choice/alternative is compiling?
Can I find somewhere the default ./configure options that Debian uses when compiling packages? For e.g. I would like to know these options used for compiling Midnight Commander...
Are there any default ones and where to look at them?
I'm using squeeze and my updates are all updated. Aptitude-gtk is at 0.6.3-2 . My menu icons, like 'Update', 'Packages', and 'Preview' don't work. Luckily the buttons at the bottom of the screen, like 'Fix Manually' and 'Upgrade', still work. In this way the application is still useful. I can still search for things, and I can right-click with the mouse to mark packages for installation or removal. Then I use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to finish the work. BUT the menu icons , and come to think of it, options in the menus, don't work. Does anyone else have this problem? I went through the bug page on the debian site but I cannot find my problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedURl...how wide are the spaces between these entries. A quick research shows that this affects only certain apps such as gnome-terminal or Anjuta, but doesn't affect for example Synaptic - my first thought was that it's related to these using GTK3, but now I can see it's not that. This is not theme-related as it appears no matter what theme I choose. No results by googling.

I'm wondering what my alternatives are when I lose power to the external hard drive where I have Debian installed. I realize that the best answer may be a battery backup UPS for the external hard drive. It seems that I recall that when a similar scenario happened on my SunOS Sparc workstation, I would simply hit [Stop-A] and then type in the "sync" command. I now have a laptop and am running Debian off of an external harddrive that has its own power supply. When I lose power, my laptop obviously continues to keep running but my session is essentially and understandably hosed because the main filesystem is not accessible. Gnome desktop goes away and I am thrown to the main console login. When power resumes, I cannot login to attempt a remount or anything. When I hit [ctrl-alt-del] thinking that that is less forceful than just holding down the main power on the laptop, I get cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown". Is there a [STOP-A] sync equilavent or some way or keyboard sequence to get to GRUB to issue a reboot command?

i have a pc having OS Windows XP and Windows 7 installed (hd0,0 and hd0,1). Yesterday i installed Debian 6(hd0,5). But it doesn't show boot menu on startup. It automatically load GRUB and start loading Debian. While i m on GNOME or KDE i can see all the files of windows XP n 7. Is any way to rescue and boot with Windows???
And yah one more thing ... i also dont have menu.lst file in /boot/grub/.
I made a mistake in Gnome Disk utility tool. Instead of changing the options for a USB key, I changed the options of the root partition.
In Initial state, automatic options were desactivated. I just activated them. And after desactivacting them, I realized my mistake and switched back to "non automatic options".
By doing this, I suppose that defaults values were used since now, the system starts in command line mode and no more in graphic interface mode.
When I try the "startx" command, I get a "read-only" error.
With the command "sudo mount -o rw,remount /" the graphic interface is started.
Below is the configuration of the partition under the gnome disk utility tool :
"Mount at startup" is checked
"Show in user inteface" and "Require additional authorization to mount" are unchecked
Mount options : nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show
Mount point : /mnt/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Identify as : /dev/disk/by-uuid/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Filesystem type : auto
I do not want to change anything that could leat to a critical error. So what do you think I should do ?
I'm running Testing and need to pass some parameters to my bttv tv tunner card, for this reason I created the following file /etc/modprobe.d/kozumi.conf with this content:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options pll=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=1 card=151 tuner=38 gbuffers=4
The problem is that for some reason this options aren't properly set after booting the computer, I've tried different combinations for line 1 and 2 without success.
I'm used to rmmod the bttv driver and modprobe manually with those settings but I'd like to automate the process.

So, there are these source packages i downloaded, which i want to build with slightly different configure options due to a bug in debian: hfd5-serial and hdf5-openmpi cannot coexist, yet some packages require the serial version of the lib , others require the openmpi.
I downloaded the sources, in order to build them, without the hdf5 thing...
I have already built this from source in Scientific Linux, and i know this can be done without hdf5.
Where do i hack into the debian source tree of a package to remove a configure option...?
./configure ... ... --without-hdf5 ...
I'm running lenny on a dell c600. Presently I'm using kde (which is great), but due to system requirements (c600 is ancient... more than 5 years old ; ) it's a bit slow.

There both great, except for one problem: The left click on a program icon in the (pardon the microsoft analogy) start menu launches it unstead of giving me options like 'link to desktop'
