View 1 RepliesAfter upgrading my media computer earlier today, I tried to run Samba config (system-config-samba) and it crashed. Running again in terminal I got the following error:-
Code:
import mainWindow
File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 30, in <module> import gtk.glade
ImportError: No module named glade
Ths was fixed by installing (via Synaptic):-
Code:
python-glade2
I already have a pretty comfy setup, with Openbox over LXDE, but I'm curious about something: Even though I started out with LXDE, I removed the lxpanel and replaced it with Tint2, then I removed the LXDE right-click menu and replaced it with the Openbox menu. Finally, I replaced PCmanfm with Thunar, and run my wallpaper on Nitrogen. In fact, the only thing that says "LXDE" anymore is the logout menu, and if I could replace that with something sleeker that fit my theme, i would.
Question: Would it have made more sense to simply not install LXDE at all? I've heard of people who say they just run Openbox. Do they mean they have to run it on top of something like LXDE, or do they just have Openbox and nothing else? It sounds like that's what I could have done here and had virtually the same thing. Am I right?
Also, I've heard a lot about FVWM, and I'm curious as to whether it's that much better than what I have now. Is there a way to "try it out?" I don't want to replace a thing that I have here now, at least until I decided I liked FVWM better (which I don't know I will). There's very little i don't like about Openbox (absence of a volume control icon in the taskbar, for one), but I'm always into tinkering, and I like the idea of switching themes. By that I mean switching wallpaper, icon themes, window themes, conky configs, everything, all with a keystroke. I've done it with scripts in the past, but that's "doing it the hard way," and I've been on the hunt for a desktop manager that has this feature.
I've been having several serious problems with the ancient version of glade included in squeeze. Now it is entirely unusable. I'm convinced the only way to fix this rediculous mess is to install a newer version. Guess what? testing and unstable have the exact same version as squeeze. The experimental one can't be installed because out of the 20 or so packages it needs installed to run 18 are missing. Is there a half-decent repository where I can get a new-ish version of glade? Try compiling from source and tada: My "intltool" is too old whatever that is.

When I do so, I lose my wireless connection that was started when I was in gnome. Is there a way to get a wireless manager to function inside fvwm (if I add it to the auto-start in my fvwm2rc?). What app can I use? I tried and failed miserably using the command line iwconifg/iwlist tools.

1. autologin
2. start fvwm after login instead of default DM - gnome
3. run application
how to autologin in fedora but it still shows that fedora gui login screen for 10 seconds and then it logs in. My problem that I dont know how to start fvwm and configure it to empty desktop (no toolbars no nothing) instead of gnome.
I have installed fvwm-crystal successfully but when I try to start it by just adding the codes below to .xinitrc
Code:
exec fvwm-crystal
only a black background with a console window show up.
I also put the .xsession-error here,
Code:

when I resize an xterm in fvwm, bash word wrapping is messed up. I don't know if it's from running a program that uses curses or not.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a fairly new ubuntu user. I am using ubuntu 10.04 and glade 3 for building a simple interface that uses C. In my interface , I have created two buttons : start and stop .Tofocus on my actual problem , I have created a simpler UI and code. start button runs a while(1) loop and stop should stop the loop .
The problem is , when I press start , the gui freezes and I cannot press any other button. I cant even close my app.After some thorough experimentation, I found out that when I press start, it never comes out of the while loop. I need the loop to keep running until I press stop . What should i do? Here are the functions for the clickable buttons :
Code:
void
on_start_button_clicked (GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data)
{
flag1=0;
while(1)
{

this is my first time here: I've been programming GUI software in C# in MonoDev for some time now. I just noticed that I can use my favorite language, C, with Glade to do the same thing. I've been going through some tutorials with a little frustration with them. Some seem to be written for older Glade versions.
The latest example had me save my Glade project to a "tutorial.glade" file. Then run it through a 'gtk-builder-convert' utility. Problem: the utility program returns errors indicating the the tutorial.glade file was written badly, that there is supposed to be a <glade-interface> tag that is missing.

I'm trying to write a GUI using Glade and pyGtk. I had a problem so decided to go back and start from a helloWorld, but I still have a problem. here is my code for the program

I have created a glade file which so far have two regions in it:
1) On the right division is a toggle button which calls a C script when enabled.
2) I have a drawing area, in which I would like to plot a point (X-Y scatter plot). The plot should be generated dynamically using a C script. I am not sure how the integration between the two is possible for a drawing area.
In glade what properties of drawing area should I set? eg.expose event, realize etc. I was thinking of using cairo for generating the plot.
I really need to download the Glade interface designer. So when I go to the ubuntu software center and click on it, it doesn't give me an option to download. Then, when I click "more info" it says, "To show information about this item, the software catalog needs updating". So I go ahead and run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and still I can't download.
I have searched the net for guides on GTK/Glade and have learned that I have to install Glade in order to experiment with it. It also appears that it only works for Perl. I would primarily like to use C ,Bash , Pascal or settle for Python if possible. Can anyone offer some general info on this topic?

I would really like to get it back. Is there a compatibility issue with Glade and 10.4?
I am working with ubuntu (linux) and have to create a graphical user interface. The GUI is a 2-D plot that have to plot a point. The point ( x and y co-ordinates) are not hardcoded, and are coming from another file (another piece of code written in c / python). I was thinking to use Glade with c/python to create this. But, I am not sure how to start with this.

I have just installed Ubuntu (/dev/sda7) and Debian (/dev/sda4), but since I have updated all informations on Ubuntu, then Debian did not appear anymore on the grub list. There is an wiki I have found, but I an not really sure about what to do.
Here are the boot informations:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
Boot Info Summary:
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 488861020
of the same hard drive for core.img, core.img is at this location on
/dev/sda and looks on partition #3 for (,gpt3)/grub.
[Code]...
ps: on this file, it says that the /boot is installed on the MBR and /dev/sda3. I will remove the boot from MBR as I am now using /dev/sda3 instead. Sorry for my english
I know of 3 at least so far Sidux and GRML and DRBL are there any others that are based on stabel or sid? or what? frugal as in like puppy, tinycore, dsl, etc nomadic like, usb, hd, etc?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had (and still do) a working dual-boot XP/Karmic (GRUB version 1.97 beta4). I shrank the Ubuntu partition and set up partitions and installed Debian 5.04. When I got to the point of installing GRUB, I told Debian to install grub to MBR. On rebooting, Ubuntu was not an option on the NEW (looked different) grub menu.Maybe it was GRUB2? Could boot to either XP or Debian though.
Thought easiest thing was to reinstall Ubuntu since it seems to "see" other OS's more reliably. So I did, and installed GRUB again during its install to MBR. Then, all three were in the GRUB menu (version 1.97 beta4 again), but when tried booting to Debian, got an error (forget the wording), but think it was because the partitions got renumbered when installing Ubuntu.
SO, reinstalled Debian, reformatting the partitions but not deleting them first so the numbering stayed the same. When got to the part for installing GRUB, I told it to skip (I got some kind of error that said "Install failed. This is a fatal error. You will have to boot with an external device..."), hoping now the current GRUB would work.
Now, all three were on the GRUB menu, but when I tried to boot Debian, I got "no such device" and a list of numbers/letters after it. And "press any key to continue", which takes you back to the GRUB menu (version 1.97 beta4, by the way).
O.K., did sudo update-grub in ubuntu and rebooted. Now, Debian 5.04 shows as last entry in GRUB, and choosing it starts a boot, which hangs at "Begin: Waiting for root file system....".
Waiting long enough at the "Waiting for root file system..." hang results in a series of notifications:
WARNING bootdevice may be renamed. Try root=dev/hda3
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
-Check root= (did the sytem wait for the right device?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda3 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
In Gparted, the partition with Debian root is hdc3, although on the GRUB menu it's listed as /dev/sda3. However, in Gparted the Windows partition is hdc1 and on GRUB it's /dev/sda1, and it boots fine.....
Is my Debian install just borked? Did telling it to skip installing a bootloader (I got some kind of error that said "Install failed. This is a fatal error. You will have to boot with an external device..." ruin it?
If skipping the bootloader install did ruin it, how do you install Debian without borking your current GRUB? That's what happened the first time.
I have used Debian Linux for two years, most recently the seventh or so iteration of Version 5. I use the Gnome desktop and the Synaptic Package Manager, not the Update Manager, for updates because it's easier to build a log with the former.In my most recent update, Synaptic stripped out all the xserver-xorg files�47 in all. I thought it peculiar but did not know enough to interfere. When I rebooted, the system told me I must install xserver or correct GDM configuration and restart.
Have I been hacked? Am I being tested by the Linux Illuminati? Or does it have something to do with the warning message I received at the end of the update-upgrade, attached? And how do I go about reinstalling xserver? With Aptitude? I have tried running apt-get -f install, to no effect.
I got two harddisks, sda and sdb. Is it possible to install Debian root into software raid partitions sda2 and sdb1 leaving all other partitions 'normal' (not-raid)? do partitions sda2 and sdb1 need to be exact same size and position?
