I am a complete Linux beginner, and have just installed F15 with Gnome for my desktop.
How do I get applications that may be installed but are not on the desktop, onto the desktop with an icon? I want to run iPython now, and soon I will want to run an Office suite...
i am having a sound issue in fedora 14 64 bit. it is interesting because i have no sound when i use desktop applications such as vlc. however when i use videos or other flash sites the sounds works. although for some reason when i listen to music on grooveshark there is an annoying background noise. i wonder if the extra noise is a flash issue. but as far as the desktop application sound not working i am baffled. also kde noises work fine. when i go in to the speaker configuration and to the test it works perfectly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently switched to Kubuntu 10.10 maverick on my laptop. Almost every time that I start my laptop up now, the screens and the start bar are very plain looking. When I go to my desktop effects, it says that they have been stopped or shut down by another program. so, I use alt+shift+f12 to turn them back on. Sometimes they turn back on and stay on, other times they will shut right back off and say that another application has shut them off. So, I'm just wondering if this is a known bug and if so, how do you fix this?
On a side note, I've noticed that be web browsers are kind of glitchey on kubuntu 10.10. For instance, whenever I am on a site where there is a text box that I need to type into, it sometimes doesn't load and when it does, it will mess up throughout the time i'm typing. So,

What desktop environment should i install to develop Gnome apps? As i cna see ,the required tools are

I am having one problem though; In changing the Applications font in Appearance preferences, it changes the font used in Nautilus, which i do not want, as the font I am using does not have capitals. I only want the font on my panel Menus and/or Desktop, but not in Nautilus.
So what I want to know is this: can I set the font individually for Nautilus (or any app, for that matter)? If not, can I set the Applications font to the one I want for Nautilus, and then set an individual font for my panel Menu headings/Menus?
I have been doing some customisations, and so far, I have my desktop looking pretty sweet.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Fedora 14 KDE. I've configured my HP LaserJet 2300 printer in System Settings, and can print the test page fine, but when I try to print from an application such as Firefox, the application seems to think it's printing, but it doesn't actually print. I see no dialog box telling me that a job was created. There are no new jobs in the printer applet. Where are my print jobs going? I'm not really even sure where to look. I don't see anything printer related in /var/log/messages.
Well, looks like I got it fixed. Not sure exactly why, but restarting CUPS seems to have resolved it. We'll see if it stays working,but for now, I can print...
I have this weird problem. some of the apps like gnome-system-monitor, gnome-power-preferences, nm-applet(when clicked on edit connections) keep crashing.
the moment I log in into my gnome desktop, all the apps work fine for a minute. the problem starts after a while say 5 mins... I will not be able to run any of these apps. I always get the crash window.
Iam using fedora 11 on a toshiba satellite m200. this problem has been there for a long time now. initially I thought that software updates will make it ok. but even after several updates, the apps keep crashing.
is there a way to fix this?. everytime I need to access them, I need to logout and login and then acces them quickly before they start to crash. this is quite time consuming and irritating.
One of the apps that tries to run needs gksudo. Can I install that? I can't find it in the fedora or rpmfusion repos

After resolving the issue with updating Fedora, I have a new issue and it that my clock (as well as the network status icon, etc) and apps tray have literally disappeared (as shown by the provided screen shot). The only way I can can switch applications is with alt+tab. Sorry if this may sound dumb if it is a simple fix, but I have looked around in System>Preferences/Administration and could not find anything.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing a peculiar problem with Fedora 12. There is a ten-second delay when various command-line applications (e.g. ssh, wget) connect to remote machines for the first time. The delay is also seen when the remote machine name does not exist.Subsequent connections to the same remote machine are immediate.This isn't a DNS delay - the host and dig commands return immediately, for both existing and non-existant hostnames. It's not a reverse DNS lookup by the remote machine either: other Fedora 10 machines do not experience this delay and neither did my two Fedora 12 machines when they were running Fedora 10.
time this was something to do with nscd, the name service caching daemon. Stopping nscd changes the delay to five seconds, but subsequent connections are no longer immediate - there is again a 5 second delay. This implies that nscd is caching the names correctly.The delays are always precisely 10 seconds, or 5 seconds when nscd is not running. I have confirmed this with the time command. There appears to be no odd network traffic (tested with tcpdump) and nscd appears to be running normally. I've confirmed this with a Fedora 12 live CD as well - nscd is not started at boot, but once started, the machine behaves in exactly the way described above.
My computer is a dual boot between windows xp and fedora 12. I am using grub and my first boot selection default was windows. My computer has the following specs:
-AMD athlon xp 2400+ at stock speed 2.0Ghz
-640mb of ram, 2x256mb, 1x128mb, all 266mhz speed
-250gb SATA harddrive, seagate
-Nvidia GeForce 4mx AGP video card
-ASUS A7V600 rev. 1.00 motherboard
I booted up fedora 12 today(12/17/2009) and did a fedora software update (task bar->system->administration->software update). It said it found 94 new updates release on (12/16/09), so click update, and the computer did its updates and reboot. Now my grub boot loader is messed up (boot default was windows, now its not) and random apps crash, like gedit, so I can't edit my grub settings to boot to windows and linux is now useless because apps keep crashing. As of right now I am using another computer to post this. I know one of the updates was a Fedora 12 kernel update. And the new updated fedora 12 "automatic bug reporting tool" does not work any more, after the update.
Some ideas I have, but I have no idea how to do them:
-uninstall last updates
-repairand/or restore bad files
This is important because I need to use some of the apps/programs for work.
Is there a way to run graphical apps as su without launching from the terminal? For example is there a way to open File Browser as su? And if the only way is via the terminal, then how can I find out the names of apps like the File Browser so I can launch them?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMany people would like not to have to open a terminal or have more granular control over permitions that can be achieved using PAM permissions(read the man pages for PAM for more information) and the consolehelper.
The sources for this comes from Red Hat manuals
Say we want to have gedit ask for a root pasword so we do the fallowing.
- Step 1 - Open a terminal. (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal)
- Step 2 - Become root:
Code:
su -
- Step 3 - Create a symlink in /usr/sbin/
Code:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s consolehelper gedit-root
- Step 4 - Create a PAM configuration file in /etc/pam.d/foo:
[Code].....
Name it gedit-root.desktop and save it to /usr/share/applications/ and you are done. Now when you need to edit your config files you can just click on the gedit-root and it will open gedit as root.
ps: I took this configurations from the original gedit.desktop file and edited a little.
You can now make programs ask for permissions like nautilus when you want to navigate through root owned folders, you can make the nvidia settings start as root and you can now using the PAM file describe what can be done or not.
