I presume there is something in the JWM window manager - or Puppy Linux Lupu 5.01 itself that is conflicting with the normal loading of GMPLAYER....
I would like to know how to troubleshoot, and fix this problem if possible (even a workaround would be great).
below are the details of my system. I have bash as my current shell, some really common commands aren't working.
Do I need to do a re-installation of bash? Or how do I install a selection of bash commands which I need? (for example a subset of [URL])

RHEL 5 update 2 I'm trying to start services from a centralized location on many servers. I can start/stop these services from an interactive login without any issue, but when I try the same command via ssh/rsh, it hangs. I have my ssh keys set up correctly and I can run other remote commands.
Local server:
# /etc/init.d/samba start
Starting Samba smbd: [ OK ]
Remotely to same server:
# ssh server "/etc/init.d/samba start"
Starting Samba smbd:

ive just installed dosbox, my favorite dos emulator. in windows, i usually used to play doom and both sound and video worked flawlessly. when i tried running doom in dosbox in ubuntu, the game ran perfectly, but the problem is with the sound. the soundblaster sound effects stutter and are not even working at times. the soundblaster based music doesnt even work! i either blame pulse-audio or the defaut config settings.

I want to open, lets say firefox or skype, on a machine I have connected to via ssh.
But when writing logging in with user2 and writing sudo -u user1 firefox I get an error message saying no display specified.
The machine is turned on and logged in with user1, it just appears that i cant get ubuntu to recognize that there is a GUI available.
I have a C program that can run disconnected ( like most ), is there a programmatical way to tel if the program is running without a terminal? Example:nohup my-program &What I want is to modify the program so it can be used as a HUB interface. It does Peer to Peer communication and I want to make it a server function with a command line option.Currently if I disconnect the program, it will loop on the read for stdin, I need to be able to detect that and go into 'HUB' mode.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a program I have made, and I would like it to run as soon as the system is finished booting. I am using Ubuntu Mini Remix to recreate a LiveCD/USB stick. After booting, it drops me to a command line where I can enter "sudo qct" and it will run my program (which is called qct, and it has to be run as root).I want this to be automated.Instead of going to a command line, I want it to run the program itself at that point. How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.

I've been trying to write a bash script called runSorter.sh that runs an executable that also takes in some parameters and outputs the results to a text file. The executable, sorter, takes in a number parameter. I want to make it so that you can input as many number parameters into runSorter.sh as you want and it will run the sorter executable for each one. So far, what I have looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
args=("$@")
INDEX=0
if [ -z args ]; then
echo "Error"
else
while [ $# -gt $INDEX ]; do
NUM=${args[$INDEX]}
echo $NUM
echo ./sorter $NUM
let INDEX=INDEX+1
done
fi
My problem is that when I run ./run-sorter.sh 100 on my terminal, it just prints this to the screen:
./sorter 100
How can I have so that it properly executes sorter and outputs everything to a text file?

I have a PGP script that for whatever reason if I let linux's cron run it automatically, it sends out the final email with attachment with a blank file. If I come in and run in manually everything works fine and the file is populated in the file. So the only real difference is that i'm running it manually through cron, rather than letting cron run it at a set time.Below is a sumary of my script.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDespite the history file is unique (~/.bash_history) I see that the multiple bash processes run on different windows are not all updating that file. I presume that the bash is not taking into account this possibility (multiple bashes on multiple windows) and writes thus the history file in a simple straightforward way. This would mean that a number of history entries are lost. I've tried to find information but had no luck so far.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI wonder how one can, if at all, run an X program in the background *in an emulator sub-shell process*. What I mean is to launch a program in an emulator, e.g, by xterm -e gedit
but with gedit (in this example) running in the background from inside the xterm sub-process, so that the xterm will accept other commands. In the above, gedit will run in the foreground, and of course, if you do
xterm -e gedit &
then xterm will run in the background, not gedit.In short, I would like to achieve the same thing as "gedit &" as you manually do in xterm, but from another shell. What I aim to do is write an X init script to achieve this result (to have the emulator open and a program or two running from it, in the background, at the X startup).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using DreamLinux. I have pinned a program, that runs in terminal, to the launcher in the panel on desktop. The program's executable file (name: feap) is located in /home/User/feap2.2 After I added the launcher to the panel that runs the file in terminal, the program asks for the input file (text file with alot of commands) when run. By default the program accepts the files that are located in the same directory i.e. /feap2.2 , so I placed the input file in the same directory.
However when I run the program from the panel, and give the input file name, it says no such file exists. Then I gave the file name with full path, but problem was not solved. I have tried alot e.g. placed the input file at other locations, but all in vain. I have set all input file permissions to be accessible by User as well. I will be much relieved if someone suggests where to place the input file for the such program running in the terminal launched from panels?
P.S: If I open terminal, go to the directory (/home/User/feap2.2), run the program's exe file, and then give the file name, it accepts the input file and it give results.
I have a script that executed 100000 C Programs, reads the commands from a file and executes them. There is a requirement to measuer the time that each of this 100K C programs running.If it exceeds 120 sec I want to Kill that Process.Any Idea to embed this in my shell script?
