Fedora :: Icons Of "default Application" / Get Predefined Application Icon To Open Same File Types?

Jan 7, 2011

I would like to get the predefined application icon to open the same file types.

for instance: *.avi, *.mp3 to have the VLC icon

and other application to have the icon of their default application.

So far I only found tips to install single icons or to add icon packs. :S

and is there any way to when you install an application make it default for such file types ?

Ubuntu :: Error - Cannot Open Display - 0 - When Opening Any GTK Application From The Terminal

May 13, 2011

For awhile I have had this issue with the command line and every time I try to complete any command that requires GTK graphics, It always returns the error "Error: cannot open display: 0:" The "EXPORT display" command that I normally use to fix this issue is not working. The only issue that I can think might be the cause for this could be my upgrade to natty (which was in fact a clean installation), or when I edited plymouth so that the startup and shutdown animations would match my laptop's native resolution (by the way I would also appreciate it if I could do the same with the startup animation, only the shutdown really works). If anybody know how I could resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and for specifics on my machine, I am using an ASUS N82 with an NVIDIA GEFORCE GT335M graphics card, running Ubuntu 11.04.

Ubuntu :: Application Launcher Shortcut To Open Terminal And Execute A Command

Jan 15, 2010

I'm having Ubuntu Kramic Koala and i want to create a custom application launcher on the panel so when it is clicked it should open a terminal window and run the following command and then show the output for 5 secs and then closes the terminal... how can i do this?

Code:
cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode && sleep 5

the above command is what i want to be executed at time of running the custom application launcher. if i paste the command in a terminal, it will show the output for 5 secs and then terminates... that's almost what i want. what i exactly want is that, i want it to work like when i click on the shortcut launcher, it should open a terminal and then exectues that command, show the output for 5 sec, pause, and then exits the teriminal.

Fedora :: Can't Open Terminal To Correct ICEauthority Error - Can't Update IECauthority File : /var/gdb/.IECauthority"

Mar 13, 2010

Whenever I boot my fedora 12, even before asking me for my login name, etc., there comes a message saying "Can't update IECauthority file : /var/gdb/.IECauthority" and hangs at the place. Even the mouse doesn't move. If I were able to open the terminal somehow, perhaps by changing the file permissions, I could get something. Also, when I boot from ubuntu 9.10 and try seeing what's in the /var directory of fedora, it doesn't show anything, even if I display the hidden files. If the directory gdb doesn't exist, why is it showing the error ?

Ubuntu :: Select An Application To Open A (specific) File?

Mar 16, 2011

I have this problem, that I want a specific .exe file to open in Mono, but all other .exe files to open in Wine.

However, the only option there is, are 'Select an application to open XXXX.exe and other files of type "DOS/Windows executable"'

but I just want to open THIS .exe file in mono, and the rest in WINE.

I have been in similar situations before, in that I opened a folder containing music with VLC, and it worked fine, but after that, it assumed that I wanted to open all folders in VLC.

I assume that there must be an option for this, and I can not see why it ain't an option by default.

(I'm using Ubuntu 10.10)

Software :: Open A Terminal With A New Environment File?

Jun 14, 2011

I am playing around with OpenFOAM which is an application for CFD Analysis but anyway, I have a cshrc file which contains all the environment variables for running the program but rather than source these all the time as some of them conflict I want to be able to use a launcher program which opens a gnome-terminal and then sources this cshrc file. This is what I have so far but I am struggling:

Code:

gnome-terminal --command="source /etc/openfoam.cshrc"

When I run this command nothing happens! I have also tried this:

Code:

gnome-terminal
source /etc/openfoam.cshrc

This opens the terminal but does not source the file.

Fedora :: Add Startup Application From Terminal

Jul 26, 2009

I am quite aware that one can add a startup application to the gnome session by going to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications (Sessions). But, is there a way to achieve the same thing via the terminal? I want to know because I am writing a simple bash script that installs all of the programs I commonly use. One such program is compiz fusion with fusion-icon.And so I want to add the fusion-icon into the gnome session with my script (strictly within the terminal).

Fedora :: Looking For A Good Console / Terminal Application?

Jan 2, 2011

Fedora 14 xfce
HP Netbook 210

I am looking for a good and practical console application. I use midnight commander a lot, and I find it frustrating every time I press the F10 key it displays the drop menu items using the terminal. On occasions I make invisible the menu bar, by disabling in the view menu.

So I am looking for a good console application that when I use midnight commander if I press the function key buttons it doesn't display the drop down menu options.

General :: Logging - How To Keep A Live-updating Log File Open In Terminal

May 20, 2011

This must've been done before: I want to keep a log file open in terminal so I can monitor updates to it as they occur. My searches are coming up with everything but this situation... I must be missing some terminology or something key, because people do this all the time inside of other programs (NetBeans, or rails server, for example).
