I noticed, that the "official" Compiz-Configuration-Tool is not functionable. I change the properties of some effects, and even after reboot, no change can be seen.Then there is the tiny Fedora-Compiz-Tool. The settings I'm setting here are applied immediately.Is that a normal behaviour? Could it be that the official Compiz-Config-Tool is not compatible with the Fedora-Compiz?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to find a best tool to track configuration files changes. I did find some information about osec and mactime, but, it seems, that they are not included in fedora/rpmfusion package databases. is there any tool that can be installed as a package?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI use an online screencasting java applet called screencast-o-matic to record my screen. While recording, I use Compiz's annotation tool. Normally this tool works great, but for some reason while I'm recording, it gets very laggy (drawing is way behind the mouse movements) and less smooth. For example, drawing a circle at a quicker pace not only causes lag, but also makes the circle look more like a polygon with straight lines. While this is happening, my CPU also spikes, with large strains showing up on the java process. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with an intel i7 processor. Any ideas as to why annotation lags badly while screencasting, and any ways to fix it,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have inherited a web configuration tool based on mojoportal (which uses C#). As the web server hosting this site is on a Linux machine (currently Ubuntu + mono), I would like to recreate it in a more Linux-natural environment.
The web application I inherited needs to allow creation of configuration profiles for other Linuxes(including setting their IP tables, QoS and many other network protocols). These profiles are downloaded by the Linux clients and a local parser does the configuration accordingly.
The main properties I need are:
* Receive and display a lot of structured data to the user (i.e. iptables chains or QoS hierarchies) and of course process it
* Manage several users with different permissions
* Use MySQL as the database
* Allow FTP access to receive configuration files created
* Display monitoring data and graphs (a low-level NMS)
I do not need forums, blogs or any other user input apart from entering data in the forms (possibly a text editor, but that's about it)
I used to be very proficient in Python and Perl (so am sure it would be easy to regain these abilities) and am versed in SQL. I know HTTP and CGI but never worked with PHP.
So I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 from fresh. I do dual run with Windows and i like to share the folder with Win, so I need ntfs-config tool to automount the Win-Data partition. Installed ntfs-configuration tool and wont launch, tried through console and got:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 102, in <module>
main(args, opts)
File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 75, in main

os.mkdir(HAL_CONFIG_DIR)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/hal/fdi/policy'
I've installed and reinstalled the Tool several times and it doesn't do anything. I get the prompt to input my password, which I know I put in correctly. It then just disappears. If I try running the tool again, I see a window pop up at the bottom of my screen for a half a second then disappear. I'm running Maverick with Win7 dual-booting and trying to use the tool to auto-mount several partitions

I tried installing NFTS Configuration Tool to auto-mount several partitions at startup, but the Configuration Tool isn't working. I've entered the terminal line to update it, but it still won't even start.
What happens is when I click on NFTS Configuration Tool under System - Administration, I'll get the prompt to enter my Administrative password. I enter it and click Ok, but then it just disappears. If I try running the Tool again, I see a window come up at the bottom of my screen titled 'System Administrative' for about half a second then disappear. If I restart or suspend and try again, I still get the same nagging problem.
does anyone knows if i can find a configuration tool like "Yast" that works on Solaris 10 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any Linux tool to create new or modify exiting key/value pairs in text configuration files? For example, to change a setting in xorg.conf, or change something in etc/networking/interfaces? I know it could be done by sed or by perl scripts, but it could be easier to have a program for this purpose. There are many difficulties for this job that the program should consider, and I am facing nearly all of them:
- Some configuration files may have sections. Like in Windows-type INI files (for example: "[something]"), or like Section in xorg.conf. More sections with the same name can occur, like in xorg.conf.
- If the key/value pair originally does not exist, then the program should add it. But not to the end of the file, but tothe end of a predefined section.
- Config files can have remark lines. Remark text can be even at the same line than the key/value pair. After modifying the value, the original remark text should not change at the end of the line. The remark-starting symbol is not always.
- The values in configuration files are not always simple numbers or simple words, but in rare cases, they are composed by more words, for example: item=name address phone
And of course, we can have remark at the end, like this: item=name address phone # remark text
- The key-value separator depends on the file. Some files use "key=value" format, some other use "key value" format, or even "key1 key2 value", like xorg.conf. The as separator can also occur.
- Case sensitivity can also be an issue.
- Sometime to desired task is not to modify a value, but to add or remove a line beginning remark to a certain line.
I think that managing all these possible cases by a perl or sed program is nearly impossible. I begun to write a C program, but maybe there is already one?

However when the app tries to connect it always gets connection refused at gatt_connect.
gatttool behaves the same way, and hcidump does not show any connection attempts, implying no connection between gatttool and the device, although it is specified on the command line.
Finally although the bluetoothd is running bluetoothctl also shows no default controller found. I had edited /etc/bluetooth/uart.conf, adding an hciattach entry for the device but that changed nothing when restarting the bluetoothd. Entering a garbage entry into that file does not produce any errors, so I am not sure it is even being read.
Also systemctl|grep bluetooth shows :-
sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0-rfkill0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/rfkill0
sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0
sys-subsystem-bluetooth-devices-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0
bluetooth.target loaded active active Bluetooth
/sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/address shows the correct MAC, but /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0 does not exist, a post elsewhere indicated this was not a problem but that seems odd.
Is the uart.conf file still used([URL] .... would suggest yes) and if so is the format a full hciattach command or merely the hciattach parameters?
I am demo'ing Kubuntu 9.04 workstation to a customer. He has a CentOS 5.3 server (my doing). On it is our CUPS Network file server. Everyone (65 of them) print to our network printer through it using LPR/LPD (and sometimes Samba).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am unable to add my USB printer via the YaST2 Printer Configuration setup tool in openSUSE 11.3. The printer, a Dell Color Laser 1320c, was last used with openSUSE 11.2, and setup was entirely uneventful. No driver is provided by Dell, so I used the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A Linux driver. The problem: To add a print queue in 11.3, a Connection must be specified (parallel, USB, network, etc). However, the configuration wizard fails to show the presence of the USB print device.

This printer was working just eight weeks ago under 11.2, and 11.3 is obviously able to detect its presence and identify it correctly. I feel certain the solution is simple, but I haven't found documentation that provides the answer.

We want to set up a LDAP Server using the Yast-LDAP Server configuriation tool.
This indeed already worked weeks ago until....this week.
Maybe some updates??!
I do not know what happend exactly. The server just does not want to start again and throws following error:
Starting ldap-serverstartproc: exit status of parent of /usr/lib/openldap/slapd: 1 failed
This happend after a little check of the configuration, but without a change, with Yast. Google delivered only "reinstall your box"-answers.
So.. i did that. And now the "mystical" part: The SAME ERROR occurs with a fresh vanilla system with a brand new and simple configuration (certificats, database, pw...the first Yast config dialog...). I did not change the way i set it up.
I remember, when i did this the first time with 11.2 on that machine, when no problems occured...everything was running out of the box (except the "use commen server certificate" option...).
