General :: Does XFCE Persist The Status Of Programs
Aug 1, 2011Does XFCE persist the status of programs? If I close down and leave one program open, does XFCE restart that program the next time round?

Ubuntu :: Status / Nature Of Xfce Project?
Apr 29, 2011I want to deploy xubuntu on several computers for a long term use. I (not surprisingly) didn't like unity, and want to use a lightweight desktop with more or less classical design. Unity, Gnome 3 and KDE are not a solution, so the best thing that works for me is xfce on top of xubuntu. But... I heard some rumors on the net that this project is dying. So I want to know what is the status of this project?
Is it a live and kicking project with a growing community, or a remnant of the past with a small group of amateurs that keep it alive as a hobby. I need to rely on a solid project with a strong support that can't fade away in seconds. Same question about the 'ubuntu' part of 'xubuntu'. I'm sure there are people around here that follow those projects closely and can describe the situation.

Ubuntu :: Twitter Status / Update Pidgin Status In Lucid
Jul 5, 2010I have just upgraded to Lucid on Ubuntu. I am a long time Pidgin user. I tried using Empathy with Gwibber, but I can't get Gwibber to update my IM status(es) in Empathy, so I want to go back to using Pidgin. (Additionally, I can't get Skype to work with Empathy.)I installed pidgin-microblog and pidgin-mbpurple, and they allow me to view my Twitter feed in Pidgin and update my Twitter status in Pidgin. However, in Karmic, I was also able to specify certain "status availabilities" (one named "Twitter-Available" and one named "Twitter-Away", for instance) to have the IM status message for these statuses become populated with my Twitter feed. This capability seems missing in pidgin-mbpurple in Lucid (and it seems to be the only thing missing from Karmic).
Is there a way to have pidgin-mbpurple update certain "status availabilities" in Lucid (and I'm just missing something) or is this no longer possible?Equivalently, is it possible to have Gwibber update my status message in Empathy? (I just want to be able to update my status once on one of my three computers - and have it propagate to all my other accounts (IM and social networking) and computers).
Software :: Make A SSH Persist After Tty Close?
Jul 1, 2010I use a reverse SSH tunnel to log into my university machine from home. In order to do so, i start the java client that let me have ssh access to my university machine (since is behind a nat), then start the ssh -R command. However the java client is defective and brings my firefox to 99% cpu and ram leak, If I close the java client, i also lose the ssh -R tunnel and the connection. I tried to give disown, but again when the TTy is closed i also lose the tunnel. Is there any way to make it persistent? at least for an hour once i have closed the java client?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: KDE Menu Editor: Changes Do Not Persist
Oct 9, 2010Right click on the "K". Choose Menu Editor.Save changes. However, after that,some changes persist, other changes do not and, additionally, some unexpected folders magically appear on the menu (such as "Office-1, Office-2, etc.). Some folders I created never show on the right place (the main menu) but instead tend to persist on a different submenu (such as "Graphics"). If I move them out to the place I want, they immediatly show back in the wrong place. Regular KDE manuals I've seen do not mention this issue or how to go about fixing it (they just tell you to delete an item when you want to delete it, to save the configuration after you are done, etc). Maybe I should switch to Fluxbox immediately. I use Linux mostly for production and research, and all I expect from a GUI is to let me get things done.

Ubuntu :: IPod Persist With Root Permissions
Jan 29, 2010Okay so my iPod auto mounts correctly to /media/IPOD (out of the box). But the permissions are set to root leaving me with no write permissions for syncing. Obviously it works if I sudo rhythmbox and then sync, but it's too much of a hassle and not very optimal (having to re-add the songs you want to sync etc).
So...How do I make my iPod mount with permissions allowing me to read & write? Previously (in 8.10 Intrepid Ibex) it used to auto mount with correct permissions.
Some info that might be worth brining up: This all started after I got my iPod back from Apple Store for repairs. I noticed they had updated the firmware and formated it to HFS+, I told them I wanted it changed to FAT32 and got it changed rather quickly. Is it possible they f'd something up when formatting? If so, how do I correct it?
CentOS 5 Networking :: Renaming Host Does Not Persist?
Feb 18, 2010My centos host (running under VMware) is called localhost.localdomain I've tried to rename this is a myriad of ways:
* I've altered HOSTNAME variable in /etc/sysconfig/network
* I've created a file called /etc/hostname with the new name
* I've modified /etc/hosts
* I've written the new name to /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
* I've used sysctl -w kernel.hostname=NEWNAME
* I've run hostname NEWNAME
and yet after reboot the name remains localhost.localdomain

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: How To Make UTGOTY Preferences Persist
Dec 1, 2010Due to some foolishness on my part I have needed to reinstall UT GOTY on my Ubuntu Karmic PC. I have run the loki installer fine and the game runs but every time I load it up I am back to Player as my name and the default video settings. For some reason my changes are not being saved.
The loki readme states that a .loki/ut folder is set up in the ?home folder and this is where all the config is stored. There isnt one shown in Nautilus BUT if i try to create one it says it is already in use. So I had a look through the CLI and got this:
Code:
saric@saric-desktop:~/.loki/ut$ ls
install_dir System
Not sure what this means.
I did note during the install that the shell kept saying it couldnt create the .loki/ut directory but it seems to be there. Can anyone shed some light on how to get my preferences to stick. I have a hankering for some fragging.

View 3 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Make Data Persist Through Webpages Via Forms?
Aug 17, 2010For a website I'm making in PHP, I need a link on a particular dynamically generated page, called "Make a friend". Clicking this will take the user to a page where they have to provide their username and password, and if it's correct, the database will be updated. When the "make a friend" page is generated, the link will have a ?author=32 (say) argument, to reflect the author's id in the database. Now my problem is, that I need the author AND username and password as arguments to the "make a friend" script. How do I do this?
Instead of making the link a link, I've been toying with the idea of making it a form button (which will look better anyway), and using a <input type="hidden"> argument, for the NEXT page, which will be the page requesting the username and password, but I still can't seem to come up with a viable solution somehows.

By default, changing the TCP Congestion Control algorithm only modifies the current system session. Docs I've read recommend that the command resetting the algorithm be written to Code:/etc/rc.d/rc.dAm confused with all the different config files, but I suspect either an existing file should be modified or an additional file should be modified in

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Remove Gwibber Status Indicator / Gwibber Status In The Panel While Keeping The Shutdown Button?
Mar 16, 2011After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 I uninstalled empathy (im using skype). The empathy menu in the evolution indicator was gone after that.I also uninstalled gwibber. But the gwibber status indicator remains within the about-me panel... Uninstalling the gwibber package also removes the me-menu which I want to keep actually. Especially the shutdown/restart... part of it. See attachment.I know there is a shutdown panel-app...but its butt-ugly and it doesnt allow to logon/off.
In another thread I read that the gwibber status shouldnt be there if no account for it is configured... which it is not... I do use ubuntu-one though which is in the same menu... I saw that this issue was addressed at some bug report before, but not fixed yet...
Does anybody know a good workaround to get rid of the gwibber status in the panel while keeping the about me and the shutdown button?
Ubuntu Installation :: Persist USB Boot Works, But Why Must Always Have To Choose "Try" At Startup?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Lucid: Weird "Ghost" Windows Persist?
May 3, 2010Three lucid install, three different situations. The only one that seemed to be a problem was on an old Gateway 450ROG laptop (6 years old). All windows that open in GNOME leave behind faint and persistent outlines long after they are closed. These outlines are not functional and are quite faint. The panels also have a pattern of small dots all over them. Any thoughts? Is the screen dying or is this a fixable issue. I didn't notice the problem until the install. Karmic was working fine. I am probably best considered an "enlightened idiot" in Linux-land. If you need me to give you information, kindly tell me how to go about getting it from the system for you.

Aug 2, 2010I'm running CentOS 5.5 and have created an init script. The start of the script contains:
# Source function library.
if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ]; then
. /etc/init.d/functions
fi
The start bit works fine, but I'm having problems with the status and stop part:
status)
echo -n "Status of script: "
status "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh"
RETVAL=$?
echo
;;
In PS AUX the command appears as "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh" and I can see the PID. But when I run:
./my_init_script status
It says the script is not running. Should I be using the /bin/sh bit, or just the full script path, or just the script filename?
The stop part of the init script utilises "killproc". Again what command should I be using to successfully kill all occurrances of the script?
