I like less and use it as my default pager in Linux. However, there are times that I am scrolling down through a large document quickly and less exits when I reach the end of the document before I have time to stop scrolling. I'd like less to exit only I type q, and not because I ask it to scroll beyond the end of the document. Is that possible?
View 1 RepliesI am currently using the windows version of gVim to edit source files on a networked drive mapped to a linux system, as well as local files created in cygwin.
The problem is that the windows version of gVim destroys the original file permissions on the respective systems. IE: Files on cygwin are defaulted to 077. When edited by the windows version of vim they are saved as 777.This problem doesn't even occur when using ms-notepad (as well as all other editors I've tried), so I am not quite sure why gVim does it.
A possible solution would be to use cygwin's gVim for everything, but that's rather cumbersome as it requires running an x11 environment to support it, and it causes some problems when running some commands from within gVim (or vim for that matter) when working on the networked drive.
Any ideas how I might be able to maintain the existing file permissions?
This morning while on a different machine the problem with cygwin did not occur. Cygwin & gVim were the same version, however the other machine is running WinXP while the machine the problem is occurring on runs Win7.
less & more are both the pager commands. Any major difference

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat methods exits to restrict which directories a user may browse on the filesystem. I want to prevent php scripts from being able to view system files. I've seen two solutions, but neither are satisfactory:Chrooting a directory that the script is in, but this requires that all the necessary php libraries/files are moved/copied into the right place relative to the chroot directory. I don't feel that I have the technical ability to achieve this.Putting php into safe mode and disabling *nasty* php functions. But this is ineffective if just one obscure *bad* php function is missed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to launch a gnome-terminal with a korn shell, and I want to specify in advance a command to execute, and then hand control back over to ksh. ex.
Code:
gnome-terminal --execute ksh -ic ls
I expect that to run ksh, do an 'ls' for example, and then give a prompt. I thought the -i switch (for interactive) meant that the shell would resume control, but this doesn't happen. The window just closes quicker than I can see what was output.
I have installed the LXDE desktop on my Debian Testing setup (It also has XFCE desktop installed). On the LXDE desktop I am trying to increase the virtual desktops from 2 to 4 desktops but every time I right click on the desktop pager icon on the task bar and then click on Desktop Pager Setting (from the menu that appears), nothing happens I don't get any configuration window for the desktop pager. AM I missing something from my install of LXDE??
View 3 Replies View Relatedcups does not start with the server. When I try to start from the terminal I get the error message
cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
The log files show nothing. cupsd.conf exists. It is user - root and group - root with permissions set at 0644.
My interpretation of this is that the program is not launching from either boot or terminal for a fundamental reason. I do not quite see what that reason is .

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of installing the usual Python/Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib combination. I'm using the installed version of Python (2.7) on Ubuntu 11.04 but I've compiled Numpy and Scipy (and ATLAS/LAPACK etc.) from source. I now want to install matplotlib from the repositories but every time I do python-numpy is installed as a dependency of python-matplotlib. I've tried "apt-get hold python-numpy" etc. and also locking the version of each package in synaptic but both synaptic and apt-get will happily install the packages when requested, I assume because hold/lock version don't work on packages that aren't yet installed.
How can I prevent these packages being installed? Or is there a way to tell Ubuntu that I already have versions?

I'm using rxvt-unicode version 9.06 at Ubuntu 9.10. I was used to aterm, where you can use SHIFT + up/down arrow to scroll the printed output with a line up or down. You can also use SHIFT + pgup/pgdown to scroll one screen up or down.In urxvt I can use the pgup/pgdown combination as well, but can't use the up/down arrow combination. It is very useful to be able to scroll by single lines. Do you have any idea how to enable the up/down arrow scrolling?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the web browsers I know, by pressing the space bar you scroll down one "page", lets call it. To effect the opposite motion, you can press <PageUp> or <Backspace>. But I can't believe there is not a key or key combination nearer the space bar to scroll pages up.In less, you can use the space bar and the b key, and you see how this key has strategically been chosen, as it is close to the space bar. Also, they lie near the bottom of the keyboard, a comfortable spot to place one's fingers.So, is there a pair of keys, one for page scroll up, the other for page scroll down, and such that one is next to the other and at the same time near the bottom of the keyboard in the most used web browsers or in some of its styles?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using emacs 23.1.1 on Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-17-generic. When I scroll up and down in a file, occasionally some of the lines are not refreshed properly. i.e. if a line with a lot of text is replaced with a line that has little text, some of the old text that used to be on the line remains (see attached screenshot,near the bottom).
I have the same problem in Kile, so it must not be a bug with either program directly (I think?). I do not have the problem with gedit.
For the record, the emacs message buffer contains the following on startup

I moved from a Linux environment from one company to another and one annoying difference came out:When I used to run an application in a terminal (no GUI), the transcript lines were presented one the window - when the window was full then the scrolling of the lines would continue only if one hit the space bar to proceed (of course waiting to user input did not stop the run).
In the new environment the behavior is different - transcript lines keep going on and on so I need to scroll up - and moreover each page-up command is cancelled by the new lines appearing.perhaps this is also reproduce with other Linux commands , say "find" or "ls".
I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded Linux device. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured. I am using syslinux as the bootloader. I was told that Plymouth might be the way to go with this, but I'm not sure.
