Every time I try to create a text file with gedit while using su I get this error:
(gedit:2401): EggSMClient-WARNING **:

Aborted (core dumped) I'm following the Fedora Bible (2010 edition) and I'm trying to get KDE up. This is what it says to do: After running switchdesk or switchdesk-gui, you need to perform one other task. As root, edit or create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop. Add the following lines to the file:
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
However, I receive that error. Does it want me to log in as root? I tried and it wouldn't let me, so I tried looking up how to do it, and I needed to change another text file with su (which is my problem in the first place). Just to be clear, this error occurs in any directory that I'm in. (home, or otherwise)
Does anyone have the name of a good program that will allow me to create text files with mathematical notations and symbols? I like to ptake notes at school on my laptop but I find it difficult to do so in my math classes. I just downloaded a program called Mirai Math. Haven't tried it yet but it looks a little to clunky. I'm looking for something simple.
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces 34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
cat file2.txt
2 this is sentence1file2 6 this is sentence2file2 54 this is sentence3file2
I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :
cat joinedfile.txt
2 this is sentence1file2 6 this is sentence2file2 15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces 34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces 54 this is sentence3file2
==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?

My site was recently hacked and a line of <JAVASCRIPT> was inserted into all my php files. Is there a way to pull just that one line out of all the php files on the server? I was thinking of using a grep -iR <CODE> *.php then piping thru sed
may be an advanced question but I need to know how to do this. Here at work I am in charge of recruiting and we have about 1,000 resumes in already. All of the resumes are in a .pdf format. I need to rename every .pdf in the following format:{firstnameLastname}.pdfThe only way I know how to do this is to convert all the .pdf files to text, extract the name out of the first few lines of text, import into excel, and then use VBA to rename the files in mass:Here is my logic so far:~Deskop/a = houses all the .pdfresumesOpen terminal: Code: cd ~/Desktop/afor f in *.pdf; do pdftotext -raw $f; done That will convert all of the preceding resumes into text filesNow I would like to append the name of the text file into the last line of the text file. So, for example, for Resume1.txt, I want to append "Resume1.txt" to the last line within Resume1.txt. So after I run the command I open Resume1.txt and on the last line within I want to see "Resume1.txt" on the last line, at the end of the resume.How can I do this? I would like to use a loop and have the terminal append the filename to the body of the text file until all of the have been appended.

I have a collection of .MOV files which I want to turn into a DVD. A real DVD, the kind that will play in a stand-alone DVD player. I am not too concerned about fancy menus or anything like that. I just want something my parents can stick in their DVD-VHS combo and hit the "Play" button. I don't know where to begin looking. Has anyone done this? Is there any kind of a How-To or something? What Linux tools exist for doing this?

It is saying to make sure there is enough room in the tmp folder, so I cleaned out the entire tmp folder but the same error is still happening. Is there a way to make the tmp folder bigger? Or perhaps extract the temporary files to a different folder? Or maybe the size if the tmp folder is not even the problem?
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.
How do you convert Open Office (ODT) documents to Text files? I have made a report using libre office. Now I wish to continue editing the document using lyx (latex front end). So the ODT file needs to be saved as some .tex file.
I don't see an option to do this in File menu (export/save as). So is there any other plugin to do this?
I can do multiscan documents using xsane and the scanner and create multipage PDF. My next wonderment was how would you create it so you can search for text in the PDF file. I am assuming the scanner is really just creating an image file. And the reader needs text? I did find a decent OCR web based solution. It looks like it would be a lot of work to put something like that together.
I have a file with 5000 lines. it is a list of books authors, series and titles. all lines start with the author names, than there is a dash (-) than the series name, a dash again and the title of the book.
The problem I encounter is that sometime there is a series, sometime not, and as I try to enter this list in a database, I wanted to create a cvs file to import into mysql.
ex:
The best would be to be able to add in the second line, a "space dash space" just after the author name, but how to make sure it does not do it to the first line as well.
If I could separate all line with 2 dash, (grep ?) then I would be able to do a simple replace, and change the single dash into two.
