I have security guidelines for my business OS which require me to active screensaver.
Nevertheless, I dislike screensavers because I sometime read a while, but I do not want to go offline from my IM in the meantime.
Anyways, I am looking for a solution. So I though about writing a little shell script (connected with a cronjob), which just moves the mouse every 10 minutes or so.
Unfortunately, I have no clue how to interact with the mouse in a shell script.
My goal is to be able to use my gamepad as a normal mouse, and also have some of the keys configured to open certain programs or do other things. Does anyone have any advice on what I need to install or if this is possible?
is there a way to 'hide' all 'folder widgets' from the desktop with a mouse (or keyboard) action? I mean hide as in 'make invisible', not as in 'close forever'I'm trying to mimic this Window's app: URL..., which is nothing more than a 'folder widget' for windows. The only thing that this app has that I can not reproduce in KDE is the ability to hide all 'folder widgets' with a mouse action (Fences does it with a double click on the desktop).
While searching the net I found how to complete disable the functionality of the middle mouse button but I need this button for many other uses.I want to disable only it's paste action.
I have a server with logs running. People connect to server. This server is running the same application as a failover just in case it stops. I have a doubt that some clients are connecting from different places as the nodeID is changed SO I need to make a script which reads both logs that are called server1.log and server2.log and where it finds a nodeID which does not match in both logs it action with fail2ban
I don't know whether this can be done directly via fail2ban since it is the program which I know that reads between logs but as far as I know it cannot match data with another log
This is an Example:
Code:
Log 1 03:00:08.905 client qwe696s@894b226f7846d9df, running version 2.1 Log 2 03:00:08.905 client qwe696s@894b226f7846d9dd, running version 2.1
Quote:
qwe696s is the username 894b226f7846d9df is the NODEID
I want to know how to set variable in procmailrc action block or condition block I want to set a variable as a random file name to store emails but I don't know how to set a variable in procmailrc action block or condition block .this is my example:Quote:
I have a following string."machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop"I have created 2 variables namely machine and action.machine should containIFLMUD5HP0581action should containStop
I use the Actions feature of KDE's Klipper utility to run certain commands when I copy something into the clipboard that matches a particular regular expression. Unfortunately, I have to turn on Enable Clipboard Actions and select the command from a menu every time I copy something that I want to run the command on. I'd like to have that command run automatically instead.
You'd think this was possible, as there is an automatic checkbox in the action settings dialog box:
Unfortunately, that appears to do nothing. The documentation included with Klipper does not indicate what that checkbox is supposed to do.
Is it possible to configure Klipper to run a command automatically if the contents of the clipboard matches a regular expression? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
I want to use a combination that avoids alphabetic/punctuation characters because that way I have a consistent physical position on different layouts. Control_R+Menu fits that requirement and is also located at a very convenient position.This combination used to work in KDE 3.5 for the global kxkb switch action, or any keyboard action for that matter. In KDE 4, trying to assign Menu by pressing the Menu key always activates the keyboard trap widget's context menu, in this case giving me the What's this?How do I work around that problem? Alternatively, do you have a snippet that I can paste into $HOME/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc and which works?

I am wondering if I can open a shell or new terminal thing from within the terminal in a unix/linux enviroment. Particularly a commandline only one where there is no GUI. Is this doable? how do I do it?
Recently I have upgraded my archlinux and then my compiz is strange. When I press Alt key, the window menu, which contains "minimize", "close" and others, will pop up. This strange action disabled all shortcutd that need Alt key, such as Alt-Tab, and even key bindings in VIM. Is there any who can tell me what causes it? And which configuration is related to the keyboard action in compiz?
Suse 11.2 and kde, I'm trying to set up a screensaver. All the facilities seem to be there when I go System>Desktop and set the required details, but then I find the screensaver is non-operative, the screen just going blank after the preset time delay.
The set-up system does do the demo of the screensaver OK, so the software for it must be there and at least partly accessible. But it doesn't seem to get through to the system.
I have seperatly tried to install Federa, Ubuntu and Mandriva on a second SATA drive and all three installations freeze at the beginning with a black screen. I tried the Ubuntu text installer and was successfull but was only able to boot into it once because it froze everytime after that. I unplugged my WindowsXP SATA drive throughout.
I have a wireless numpad that was designed for windows, so some of the keys rather than sending a keycode send a sequence of keys to do a task.
For example the excel button sends(from xev)
win+R excel return
Is there a program that can look for this sequence then perform a different action? i know xmodmap can map individual keys but couldn't get it doing multiple.
I would like to disable the action that says "Download photos with digiKam" in KDE4 when inserting a storage-device such as a USB Stick. I have played around with the Device Action settings and the rule Download photos with digiKam but with no success.I have tried to set..
"All of the contained conditions must match" "The device's property StorageVolume.igonerd" -> true "The device's property StorageVolume.fsType" -> dummy
Today I had this weird new icon appeared on my Cairo dock (The grey rectangular box sitting in the middle).Right click on it, choose whatever action, it just won't disappear
I recently installed nautilus-actions for adding things to the right click menu this shows the Nautilus Actions Configuration in system->preferences but when i click it nothing happens.
I then try to run it from the terminal by running the "nautilus-actions-config-tool " command it returns
I did a fresh install of 10.04 a couple of weeks ago, and all seemed well, but lately when I double-click on, say, an OpenOffice (.odt) file in Nautilus, I get the following message:The file '/home/zerubbabel/Documents/Teachings/Queue/2010.05.15-A02.odt' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.(The pop-up window title reads: "Blocked: wine start /unix"). I've repeatedly set the "Open with..." and checked "Remember this application...", but it doesn't "stick".
I am running 10.04.1 and despite everything I have tried I cannot suss out why my machine is so slow. It runs fine in the other OS installed but in Ubuntu there is a lag to every action, eg if I drag a window it follows about 3 seconds later. Basically everything is delayed for some reason. It is becoming very annoying and I am contemplating a reinstall, could someone please prevent this. The system is running on an old Athlon 2800 and I have attached a screenshot of running processes.
After a hard drive failure I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in the secondary drive. The intention was to have keep the machine functional until I could reinstall XP and have a dual boot. I replaced the failing drive and reinstalled XP.
The main reason for keeping windows is for using Itunes and a ton of music on the Ipod. I can get into the Ubuntu using Super Grub2 and did try repairing Grub 2 with rescutux. I can of course use the super grub2 disk to boot into Ubuntu but would like to repair Grub2 so I have the choice at boot without the disk.
I've got a non-urgent but itchy thing here - I'm implementing a drag-and-drop. All rolls well, but I'd like to have the component be "followed" - if there is a drag on the component, the form should be visible. I'd like to make a puzzle where the player can see the perimeter of the piece to see if it fits where (s)he'd want to drop it. Before I delve into the tons of code, I'd like to know if that (the following) can be done.
