I'm logged into my Ubuntu 11.04 box using SSH, and I need to start a program - but it is a Windows GUI program which runs under WINE.
How can I start the program from the SSH terminal so that it opens on the desktop, and then stays open even after I log out of SSH.
i wanted to know how can I make my programs or script automatically start at boot time ,for example if I restart my server at any time they start at boot time automatically with no need to any body to start them.

I'm studying Information Technology and doing Linux as part of it. One of the questions in my text book is: Describe three different ways to start a command line interpreter when using the Gnome desktop of openSUSE Linux. I can't for the life of me make sense out of it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo basically, for my research I need to use Gadget2. The only problem is, I have no idea how to "install" it, I guess. I've looked in the user help guide but I think it was written more or less for those that actually know what they're doing, hence why my research professor doubted my abilities to get it running.
So, I've downloaded all that .tar.gz files and gotten rid of the .gz part and now I have a bunch of .tar files (Gadget2.0.7, gsl-1.15, fftw-3.2.2, openmpi-1.4.3 and hdf5-1.8.7-freebsd-static). I've also done the whole tar -xvf thing to just extract the files and now I have 5 folders. I looked in their help guides and I think I might've done something right 'cause now I have some lib folders and some etc and some share ones.
I think my message passing interface is operational because every time I shut down my computer now there's this weird screen about some pretty harmless looking stuff like my computer is openly passing messages so I think I'm fine there. But how do I make sure all the other stuff is good? I've tried installing and configuring (maybe not in that order, mind you) but I'm still kinda lost.
i'm looking for a reliable program to do backups to my desktop.(from the remote linux server....to my desktop )Preferably an FTP program that I can login to with Root access.... but most importantly, a program that will only copy over changed / new files after the first full backup. Thats the biggest problem I have currently.. when i do it with WinSCP, I usually backup the WHOLE entire /vhosts/ directory each and everytime. And its 2 GB's in size....takes forever when copying to desktop. I would only like changed / new files to be copied over after the first full backup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-monitor setup. I have some programs which I would like to start automatically. I each one to start up full screen on a particular monitor, in a particular workspace. Then I can use the workspace facilities to easily switch between the programs, and they will always appear on the correct monitor, in the correct workspace. (At least one of the programs (VMWare Workstation) does not seem to be startable using the facilities to save the current session on logout.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedSuddenly within the last 4-5 days my mail-notification program stopped starting.Googling the error really doesn't give much help, it sounds like the same error message is in tens of libraries.Anyone know what might be going on?Running Ubuntu Jaunty, and already tried reinstalling the program. It's the normal mail-notification from the Add/Remove Programs thing.
Apparently it only does this when it tries to connect to the internet. It runs fine when I'm not connected, but crashes as soon as I hit refresh. (And also crashes at startup when I'm already connected to the internet.)
After running for a while, often after starting a program that displays graphics, such as Shutter, Gimp, Ocular, or maybe simply having previews in Dolphin (as some of my folders default to large previews)most menus, and some windows will go completely black. Some simply grey out (only ksystemlog does this that I have noticed so far)Blindly clicking anywhere on top title bar has no effect (would expect minimize/maximize etc to work if hitAlt-leftmouse or alt-middlemouse will allow window move/resize - black actively conforms to new window size/shape.
Often this blackening is preceded by a loss of all global hotkeys, which may not be related.With no visible menus or buttons, and with no hotkeys I am forced to hit the PC power button and allow kubuntu to shutdown.If I am lucky and hotkeys still work i can simply log out with ctrl-alt-shitft-del and logging in again fixes the issue.Linux betlogbox 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have matlab installed on a network (I am not the administrator) and we usually start the program by typing "matlab", then choosing one of the version options from the menu i.e. typing "n". So because of this, trying to run matlab programs or commands directly like this... matlab -r ProgramName
...does not work. I just get the menu as usual and everything else is ignored. I assume the admin has overridden the matlab command with their own custom script. So my question is can I start a specific version of the program by specifying the folder that the version is in? I thought it might be something like /opt/matlab/version -r programname
this might look foolish, but I am a bit of a linux noob. Let me know if I should just ask my administrator but I thought there might be something easy I am missing.
i don't know what might be the problem but smplayer keeps starting on the second desktop no other application has shown this behavior yet but i don't know if this is just because i haven't used one that will or if it is just smplayer
View 6 Replies View RelatedSomething happened to my ubuntu 10.4 - I can't see my desktop after boot. As a matter of fact, when I boot I see a message saying: Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery. I left it like that over night, this morning I found the logon box, typed my password and I got to an empty desktop.
I did a Ctrl-Alt-F1 and logged on there, I am looking at /etc.fstab and I see the first lines like this:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation UUID=3538bcd0d-...
ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
I guess something is wrong right from the start, some portion of the file system is not recognized anymore (or is in the wrong place) ...
I have installed Debian 5.0.4 on a 600Mhz iMac G3. When booting the usual text scrolls down the screen and then the screen goes blank. Cont-Opt-F1 gives me a terminal window. X is apparently configured and running since 'startx' returns the usual something about -1 error message. I am newly returned to the terminal window after years of GUI slackitude and I am not able to get either GNOME or KDE to come up. Is there some file I should be editing (sudo nano /fixthisthing) I feel like I am swimming in the right ocean, I just haven't spotted the island yet. The learning curve on Linux is pretty steep but I have managed to make the password deal quit making me change passwords at every, single, solitary, login, so I am not a total feeb. Some hints on navigating the file system wouldn't hurt either.

I dont know whats wrong with my desktop....but it is not displaying folders and files in desktop after starting the system.The mouse right click is also not working.But the panels are working.
But once I browse files on my cell phone(using bluetooth) with my system,the desktop is working as usual.
I think I have to add some application( which loads desktop) to list of start-up applications.
Yesterday, I was doing some work (Don't worry, I didn't lose anything), and I restored a terminal I had open, and it completely froze! I couldn't do anything on the desktop, so I tried rebooting. Doing that resulted in an error when booting. It would say "bin/sh : Can't mount" or something like that (Can't quite remember) not too long after trying to start up, and it would leave me stuck with some weird terminal. The only command I know on this new terminal is reboot. What should I do?
Note that I just installed Debian two nights ago and it was working perfectly fine until last night...
The error says "/bin/sh: Can't access tty; job control turned off"
