Trying to get time and date based notifications to appear on my screen. When I was running kde, kalarm worked great for this. Now I'm running gnome. Tried osmo but the dialog for setting up recurring events represents a tale told by an idiot.
Tried running a batch script via cron and dialog. The script runs but the dialog message doesn't appear on my screen.
Just installed fc13 and wasn't given the option for kde.... I like the desktop effect and Widgets.... is there a way to do the same with gnome???? If not what packages do I. Install from the apps list?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSince the last kde update I have observed that when an audio alarm is triggered everything is normal: you see the window with the message and hear the sound. But from that moment on the alarms show the window, but no sound is heard. If I quit the application and start it again, the same happens: first alarm works normally, the others are mute. I removed the config files and started again, but this resolved nothing.

View 7 Replies View Relatedconsider these lines of code and their outputs:
[CODE]
int C = 0;
fprintf(stdout, "
(C, ++C) Bef = %d, Aft = %d
", C, ++C);
fprintf(stdout, "(C++, C) Bef = %d, Aft = %d

The only one that looks right to me is the second one. I get similar results using both gcc and g++.
I installed opensuse 11.4 on a virtual box , made tweaks, edits, updates, installs, and I want to install it on a hard drive but I want to install it with all the tweaks/installs i made in virtualbox. There's a program in Ubuntu called Remastersys that will create an ISO with all the packages and updates already on the distro and I'm looking for something similar in OpenSUSE. Can it be done? Is there another route I can take that will create an iso out of all the software updates/installs thats I've made?

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question as I re-familiarize myself with apt-get again. So far, have had no luck finding what I am trying to do (back to the man page) Basically, after doing a 'apt-get update' command, was it possible to see what packages have newer versions and can be upgraded?
For example, I am working with a system that has BASE 1.4.3 installed, and I know there is a newer version out (1.4.4), but want to make sure that is in the repository. Does apt-get have something similar to portmaster in FreeBSD? Where it tells you what version you have installed, and what version is available to download?

Anyone have any suggestions WRT Linux applications (more specifically Ubuntu, but I am not really that picky) that mimic the functionality of Nokia PC Suite (even partially)? It doesn't need to be specific to Nokia either, any brand of phone is fine as I haven't made my mind up as to what brand I am interested in.

Is it possible to have command line completion similar to 4nt? In Terminal you have to type most of the name before it will complete for you, otherwise it just displays a list of names. Are you supposed to read from there and copy filenames? And the upper/lower case stuff is really ugly. Is there a smart command line utility that can build the entire path for you, and recall history based on a partial string?
