General :: How To Set Character Set Per Application In Slackware
Jul 9, 2010
I am attempting to set a character set of IBM850 on slackware linux for a particular application (epic5). I am using rxvt-unicode and have setup LANG/LC_*=en_US. Now if I set the encoding to IBM850 in kde's konsole program im able to display certain characters correctly. I'd rather not use IBM850 for everything; is there a way to set/alias a command for a per application execution?
I've tried things like:
LC_CTYPE=IBM850 epic5
LC_ALL=IBM850 epic5

1.What character instructd the shell to interpret a special character as an ordinary character?
2.What directory contains some of the utilities available on the system in the form of binary files?
3. What command is used to search the location of a utility?
4. What command is used to instruct the editor to write the file and quit the editor?
5. What key quits the more utility and displays the shell prompt?
6. What command starts a child shell as the super user, taking on root's identity and environment?
7. Which wildcard characters can be used for searching all the files in the system that start with "A"?
8. The user name or login name of the super user is????

I built and installed the latest 3.3.2 and also the Chinese language pack from SlackBuild. [URL]... whenever I open a file whose path has Chinese characters, the LibreOffice always tell me that the file does not exist. What's worse, I can not use SCIM in it, so I can not even enter a Chinese character. what goes wrong? LibOffice or my KDE(4.5.5)? And how to solve it?

I think that Centros is closely connected to Red Hat, right?And, I have heard that if you are going to go for a non-free linux system for your business, Red Hat is rated # 1 followed by OpenSuse.So, if you are going for a free linux system, is it best to go with Centros, or, is Slackware good enough?

I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...

Using current 32 bit I'm unable to print anything outside of KDE. If I print something from Konqueror or Koffice for instance, my printer shows up in the dialog and everything prints fine. However if I use openoffice or abiword, etc then my only option is to "print to file" It is a samba shared printer that is attached to a 13.1 server, but I don't know that that makes a difference.

Using fluxbox in 13.1. If I select text in rxvt and then click the mouse wheel it pastes the selection at the cursor. But apparently it does not use the clipboard to do this, because if I Ctrl-v into another app, say jedit, it doesnt paste the rxvt selection, it pastes the last thing that was put on the clipboard. Is there any way to get rxvt to use the clipboard?

Using Slackware 12.0 32-bit. KDE KDE 4.2.4.When I choose the Menu (Kickoff Application Launcher)then choose Development, and then 'Emacs' I get the version of emacs that came with the distribution.
It is at /usr/bin
In the meantime, I have installed a compiled version of emacs that is installed at /usr/local/bin.
How do I modify Slack so that the App launcher launches /usr/local/bin/emacs?

In programming and various terminal programs (Screen, Vim) the [, ], { and } tends to be used a lot. I'm using a Norwegian keyboard where these are placed such that I have to stretch my fingers a bit too long for whats comfortable. To make it easier I though I'd try to make alt+[some key] be one of these characters. Is there a way that I can bind, say alt+� (Norwegian letter) to '{' system wide?Btw, is such thing called binding, mapping or something else? I'm getting a bit confused by the terms...

I want to display cpu temperature and fan speed, network activities, load, etc on a simple window mangement, such as fvwm, wm, or blackbox. Is there a software in slackware packages to show these sensors reading in X windows similar to wmsupermon? I don't want to compile it, if slackware has something same that i can just use.

I have been searching around into /etc/xdg/ and ~/.config and also /skel/.config (for newly created users!) so I can ensure specific applications open filetypes by default.
I would prefer to be able to use a system wide configuration so that i may be able to run a script with each new slackware release that would change application/filetype defaults for all users including existing to our liking (unless they have already preset their own app/defaults in ~/.config).

I'm looking for a way to force my PS1 variable to a certain number of chars.
It currently looks like:
$PS1="W $"
and I'm trying to keep the same number of characters regardless of the length of current folder name.
For example, both Documents and bin would be displayed as 10 character strings, keeping the left side of my terminal the same width all of the time.

I'm reading linux device drivers,
and I'm creating a scull-like driver.
I alloc a chrdev region
with
alloc_chrdev_region(&dev,minor_number,number_of_devs);
how can i deallocate it ? I tried with
unregister_chrdev_region but it does work only for
statically allocated devices.
i want to deallocate it so that only a single major number is assigned to my driver and
cat /dev/devices | grep $dev_name
returns no more than 1 line.

I have got certain files which somehow contain abnormal character "Del" "0x7f" or 177 which represents Del. And this is causing SVN to reject these files and abruptly end the process. I need to remove those characters from the file names but am not able to. find or grep do not search the files. This is how the file looks like with ls or find code...
