How can I resume a stopped job in Linux? I was using emacs and accidentally hit ctrl-z which blasted me back to the console. I can see it when I type 'jobs'
[*****]$ jobs
[1]+ Stopped
emacs test_queue.cpp
i am now in the process of building gnome shell.it says 3 or 41 currently and with the net speed today, i think it will take ages till it gets completed. is there a way to stop midway so i can rest my laptop and resume later from where i left out ? an early reply will help me decide whether to go ahead or stop and forget building it today !

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04 alternate PPC to install on my old emac.
It starts fine the installation process, and I want to have only Ubuntu on this machine so I erased all the mac partitions and create 3 new partitions
/ = root
swap
and /home
Everything goes well until I get the message that there is not a partition called Apple_bootstrap and I get stuck there.
I snagged the 10.10 alternate install ISO for PPC and got it up and running on a 1ghz G4 eMac with 1gb of RAM and a 60gb HDD. It runs... OK. It could be a lot better. I'm planning to shut off the bluetooth and CUPS services since neither apply to this system; are there any other services I can shut down, or any other tricks I could do to make it run a bit more smoothly?
What about alternate window managers? I realise that the PPC platform kinda limits me, but what about TWM or FVWM?
emac is new to me and I want to create a panel launcher ie. icon shortcut but there are 4 choices and I don't know the difference in function or usage between them: emacs, emacs-23.2-no-x11, emacs-23.2-with-x11, emacsclient.I want to learn how to use emacs so which one of these versions do i choose?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWith my ubuntu iso in the dvd drive, I do not get any boot from options for it to be used as boot drive within the boot order from the boot control panel. On startup with the alt key pressed I only get the Mac drive but when I change the boot to the other option (network) and press the alt key on startup, I get the boot order screen with the Mac HD and also the Ubuntu iso but cannot get the Ubuntu to highlight and use, just the Mac remains highlighted. On the same screen I get a very small wrist watch to the left of the screen that the mouse can move up and down but not to the side.
I am using a windows usb keyboard and usb mouse, I have used all manner of keyboard combinations to get the Ubuntu disc to highlight but nothing seems to work. Within the drive section, the "My Mac" drive is locked and cannot partition it or change anything about it. Has anyone any ideas that I can try? I did not want to get a Mac keyboard and Mouse as yet seeing as I wish to change the operating system to ubuntu.
I recently came into (temp) possession of two Original, white, 700 MHz eMacs. I have only started to play on one of these so far. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 PPC from Alternate Install CD - two times actually (because I thought I may have screwed something up the first time), but both times it seemed to go without a hitch.
After install and restart, I cannot drop into a shell, all I get is the black screen. I'm probably forgetting something really obvious, but I've tried Holding "Shift" and "F1" and control+alt+F1 (and F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), tried the esc key; with two different Apple USB keyboards. I'm really just wanting to load an xorg.conf file and reboot.
Should I have been trying to do this just after install, but before restarting? I can get into Open Firmware just fine, but have no idea what I'd do from OF except start off the CD again. I should mention I installed Debian just fine and am pretty confident MintPPC would work flawlessly, but I am trying to get Ubuntu 10.04 on here.
I installed the powerpc version of Debian Squeeze 6.0.1a on an eMac. According to the Wikipedia article, these systems had an nVidia geforce2 MX graphics card, and the system is using the Debian open nVidia drivers from install. I've gotten everything working on it, except the graphics are off. It's acting like either it can't handle the resolution or all the colors and looks a little like it wants to run in 256 colors. It's not unusable, just annoying. I know that it can handle a normal resolution because it was doing fine under Mac OS X puma before I wiped it and installed debian (I put debian on it because I needed a modern web browser, and the ones available under that version of Mac OS X weren't doing the job). I went to the nVidia website, but they only have the driver for x86 Linux. I need it for the G4 powerpc. Any ideas? I'm used to running Ubuntu on x86 machines, so the powerpc thing is throwing me a bit.

When I left work yesterday I left vim open with the files I was working on. I'm working from home today, so I VPN'ed in and when I go to edit those same files, I get the warning that there's another current vim session open with those files. I know I could just force logout my other user, but that would kill the existing vim session. I think my changes would all be saved in the .swp file. Instead, is it possible for me to take that existing vim session and open it with my second login? That way it would for sure preserve all my changes, and I wouldn't have to open all the same tabs again.

I was trying to get this feature: wake up my htpc from s3 with my remote control and the solution is to modify /proc/acpi/wakeup and a descriptor in /sys. Here are the details: I'm using a Microsoft IR receiver for MCE remote that appears as dev 2 of bus 2 in lsusb

That's USB0 I have to enabled, why not usb 1 or 2 (bus 2 in lsusb)? Moreover why are all the disabled/enabled preceded with a star and S4 and not S3 mentioned? Nevertheless that wasn't enough to get it work. I looked in gconf-editor in apps/gnome-power-manager/general but I have no can-suspend or something similar... (I'm running on 10.10, with 10.04 I could suspend only once, afterwards the computer didn't go to suspend, just black screen then login screen). So I looked in /sys/ and found that 'cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/wakeup' (notice the 2.1 as bus 2 device 2 (0,1,...) gave 'disabled' so a echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/wakeup and now I can wake-up with the remote when I want.
What I don't understand:
Why USB0 in /proc/acpi/wakeup ?
Why have to change in /proc and /sys ?
Is it possible to automate this to get it work even if I change the usb port the receiver is plugged in ?
After suspending my laptop, and then resuming the screen has black and white jagged wide zig zags across the screen. I can move the mouse and login fine, it's just the graphics are all screwed up. Has anyone had this problem before? Is this X? Is it a driver issue, my info is in my sig.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to copy a big file from my harddrive to a removable drive by rsync. For some other reason, the operation cannot complete in a single run. So I am trying to figure out how to use rsync to resume file copying from where was left last time.
I have tried use the option --partial or --inplace, but together with --progress, I found rsync with --partial or --inplace actually starts from the beginning instead of from what was left last time. Mannually early stopping rsync and checking the size of the received file also confirm what I found.
But with --append, rsync starts from what was left last time. I am confused as I saw on the manpage --partial, --inplace or --append seem to relate to resuming copying from what was left last time. Is someone able to explain their difference? Why --partial or --inplace do not work for resuming copying? Is it true that for resuming copying, rsync has to work with option --append?
Also if a partial file was left by mv or cp not by rsync, will rsync --append correctly resume the file copying?

I'm about at wit's end trying to figure out how to get Fedora 10 (can't go upgrade past that version, due to no more support for the integrated Radeon S300 graphics) on my HP Media Center desktop to resume after suspend- or to disable suspend, or anything that will prevent the computer from hanging after a period of inactivity. I have tried various combinations of noapm, noacpi, s4_nohwsig, etc., etc.; nothing helped. Actually, noacpi might have helped, I don't know, because disabling ACPI somehow disables internet as well, and I'm not willing to pay that price.I went into the CMOS RAM setup (both before and after updating the BIOS to the latest version), and the only Power options available were "After AC Power Failure," "WOL in S4," and "XD (Execute Disable)."Does anyone perchance know the magical solution to make the problem go away, aside from reverting to Windows?

In Windows I can get my computer to resume from sleep mode by pressing any key on the keyboard. My keyboard is a Logitech G15 (USB).
How can I get this functionality in Ubuntu?
how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:
Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.
I am planning to do a full install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my eMac G4 Power PC (PPC). It has 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB of space, and its running Mac 10.4.11 Tiger.
I need help booting off the DVD. Can anyone Give me a guide on how to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a old eMac G4 Power PC?
I plan to install this instead of the Mac OS because it is very slow and buggy.
I am putting ubuntu onto a ppc (emac 1.25Ghz) and I was wondering weather to go with the last officially supported release (6.10) or to try the newest (10.10)?
The machine will only be used to play music and brows the web, nothing heavy but it MUST play flash content (primarily from .....). I have had varying degrees of success on an older G4 ppc (700 Mhz) but never got it to play flash. are the open source alternatives to flash any good on the machine?
