The command would look something like this: java -jar /file/location/whatever.jar I've searched and searched and can't figure out how to do this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an x application I am trying to run under gnome. It assumes a fixed ip address and exclusive use of the eth0. I have run it under gnome on RHEL 5.3. I set the ip address and ifconfig confirms the correct address. When I run it I get "SocketConnect() error:

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my pc with XBMC installed. It's set to boot into xbmc on start up and works fine. I also have squeezebox server (a music server for my network) installed and again don't have any trouble.

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
squeezeslave -o0 -r3 192.168.1.3 &

This fails to start the client on boot, however if I ssh into the machine and run /etc/init.d/local it runs fine.
I have a fresh install of Cent OS 5.4 and am having a problem with Openoffice application not starting up, word processor, spreadsheet, etc. none of them start.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows-only language lab program ('Logolab') which provides students with listen and repeat exercises on audio and video material loaded by the teacher. It operates in conjuction with a Firebird database which stores subtitles (I think) and the sequencing data (the lengths of each segment) for recording (a recorded piece will be subdivided into small audio/video segments during which the student repeats what's been said).The audio and video functions are run internally by Windows Media Player, and the video input must be in .WMV format for the system to function.Using Wine, I've managed to install the language lab program on Ubuntu, as well as the Firebird database program. However, each time I start the language lab program, I get the message "Firebird database not started!".There is a BIN folder with the language lab software that contains a .INI file with the following contents:

Using the System->Preferences->"Gnome Startup Applications" interface, is it possible to run a program from an arbitrary directory?
Example:
I want to run a script: /home/user/directory/script.py
It has dependencies (right term?) in the directory it's in, so if I run "python /home/user/directory/script.py" I get an error.
Is there any thing I could type into the "Command" text box to get this script to run?

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB install. It worked very well for a few days, in which I hibernated at least once. Today, I hibernated Ubuntu again - But after powering up the ubuntu opened up fresh. In the same session I've installed GnomeBaker, and tried to use it - But it failed burning. A couple of restarts later Ubuntu stopped starting up - It doesn't even show the graphical ubuntu load screen, just quickly writes a lot of text, and the last screen contains a trace (I think), mounting errors, and the error "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.".
I have a BusyBox console (v1.13.3) with the cursor "(initramfs)". I found this post [URL]. In which transmutable describes the same problem I have, but I wasn't able to start into a live USB (or Live CD), and got error like the one described in the following post [URL]. My computer is Lenovo T410, and I'm dual booting Windows 7 32bit (Yes, there is a recovery partition - But Ubuntu worked before, so I reckon this is not the case).
