I'd like to try a gnome applet named DockbarX. It has some dependecies, and it lists them by their debian package names. I couldn't find an equvivalent package for "python-gnome2-desktop". I suppose it contains python bindings for gnome. Can some help me? Also, is there a general naming pattern that helps with guessing package names?
View 2 RepliesIn past releases, entering the "~" operator in the location bar, nautilus would interpret it as "/home/$USER" but as of 10.10 I get an error saying:
Code:
Could not find "/home/oded/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/~/.gnome2".
I'm running nautilus-elementary but this behavior also occurred in the default nautilus app that shipped with 10.10
I've been reading and googling, etc. I've seen some things, but not a definite explanation of this. What is the appropriate way to mimic a C ternary operator using Python? Isn't there an exact proper way to do it? Any difference for using lambda functions? I'm sorry, but I've been searching and it's ambiguous to me how this should be handled. I would appreciate a person's help on this. I came up with this link, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.[URL]...
So, is that it? In Dive Into Python, it's using the and-or trick. Well, if the above post is the full explanation,
For Python 2.6.4 on Fedora 13, I created a desktop launcher and then browsed to the Python 2.6.4 doc index.html. But when I try to launch this file, I get permssion denied. Huh ? I can not create a desktop item which brings up my Python docs in a browser ? This is frustrating to say the least. What has Fedora decided I am doing wrong now ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a python equivalent for the "array_unique" function in php?
I have to run a query on a very large table (1.5 million records, with no index!) and php can't beat the max execution time. So I am converting my php script to python, which I have never used before.
my php script basically does this:
gets results from database
gets the number of unique values in column "X"
counts how many times each unique value in column "X" occurs
echos the results
My php script was originally running on a smaller version of the table, I would have started in python if I would have known the "real" table was so large, python is the only language I have access to in my current environment (besides php).

View 5 Replies View RelatedCame across a broken link during updating system (Python). So I came across advise which I followed and though I had fixed the problem by removing the broken (python) Only to find I no longer have access to the Desktop.
This is what I have done so far:
Booted to Recovery
Logged in as the user.
Ran the following to reinstall desktop:-
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
All seem well, but now it wants conf. So I have ran the following after rebooting:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
But still no joy, as when the system reboots it stops at the splash screen desktop ubuntu and seem to be trying to boot to the desktop. But no joy.

how can i create a simple right click menu entry on desktop so that i can rotate wall papers by clicking on that entry.
I am using GNOME and nautilus.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBasically as the thread tittle suggests, I've got Xubuntu 11.04 installed as I didn't take to Unity. However one thing I really did like was the global menu. Back in 10.10, I installed GlobalMenu from a webupd8 ppa, Worked like a charm. However under xubuntu 11.04, that ppa doesn't seem to work, and I don't like the look of compiling from source, as all the instructions call for installing xfce4 panel, which obviously I already have, and I have no idea what else I have of those lib's. All this is intended to run in xfapplet, so hopefully I'm not being silly and trying to run something somewhere where it won't run.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the ubuntu-classic + compiz desktop with 11.04. However, compared to older versions the behaviour of focus-follows-mouse seems to have changed for the worse when using the keyboard to switch applications. In older versions, an app selected using alt-tab or scale or similar keyboard method would get focus, even if the mouse was not over it. Focus follows-mouse behaviour would only happen again if you moved the mouse to a new app. In 11.04, the app selected using alt-tab immediately loses focus if the mouse is not over it. This makes alt-tab kinda useless Is there any way I can fix this behaviour to the pre-11.04 version?

when Gnome starts my Desktop completely freezes. So I decided to reinstall and install Gnome2. When Debian is freshly installed I still need to configure and install my ATI 6950 Graphic card and the X config. Since the latest drivers from ATI I can use the --initial config from ATI. This all seems to work. But also when I use Gnome2 my screen completely freezes. I don't see any special things in my logs. I do remember that with my previous PC I had the same problem. This was the "first" reason why I left Debian for my desktop.

If I just upgrade my 10.10 to 11.04, will it replace gnome with unity? I tried unity before and it is not satifying because it is not customizable, I feel I have less options and less power over what my interface looks like and how it behaves. Same case with gnome3.I'm wondering if when I upgrade to Naughty will I have to go through a lot of messing around with packages and configuration files to get back to gnome2 ? Do we have an option when we upgrade to choose between Unity, Gnome2 and Gnome3?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using a private computer on my departmental network. I am now in the process of switching to the public system.

Is there some global network way to do the same thing, i.e., so that I can edit the crontab entries from any machine in the public network?
