General :: Wins Apps Running On 10.04?

Jul 14, 2010

my wife needs the 'horrible' dos because she uses - Russian - programs written for windows only.

i suppose:
they - the Russians - never discovered the linux-os (very surprising)
or
she - my wife - got the wrong version.
my Q:

is there an easy way to run windows-progs on ubuntu 10.04 ?

General :: Auto Running Apps In Succession?

Aug 19, 2010

I want to write something that will run apps in succession.For example, you'd click on the app icon,and it would start up one application, have questions alert the user to add a file to do something in that program, run that program & finish. Then open up another program to take that file and prompt the user to do something else with it, and so on.Basically I have a friend who needs an auto, completely easy interface to accomplish certain tasks that require multiple application steps to perform.

General :: Display X Apps Running On Host1 And Displaying On Host2 ?

Feb 20, 2010

I have three boxes with lenny debian recently installed. I'd like to be able to display X apps running on host1 and displaying on host2. "xhost +" would do the trick for me if I could get it to work but as far as I can tell it does nothing. (BTW, I'm aware of the security risks. This is not a concern for me. I'm safely behind a good firewall. I'm also aware of "ssh -X" but that won't quite solve my problem. See the long version below.) I suspect that Debian secures the xhost command out of the box in some way but I can't seem to figure out what it is. If that is true and someone can show me how to reset it, or direct me to appropriate documentation I think that would solve my problem.

Here's the long version:

What I really want to do is play xbattle with my kids but I need to be able to display the board to three different screens. In xbattle the command line is: % xbattle -red me -blue host1:0 -green host2:0 {and more stuff of no consequence to my question}

This opens a game board for player red locally, player blue on host1 and player green on host2. Or at least it should. If there is a way to make this work with "ssh -X" (or anything else for that matter) I'll be happy to use that instead, but so far as I can tell "ssh -X" only lets me redirect the display back to the one I ssh'd from whereas I need to direct to multiple displays to run xbattle.

OpenSUSE :: Running Gui Apps As Superuser?

OpenSUSE :: Running Win Apps Under Wine?

Jun 12, 2011

There are some apps for win that run on wine just with an ordinary install procedure. There are others that will never work at all. But there are also some that wine users claim to have made run by changing some specific configuration of wine, using some trick or even creating scripts on playonlinux.

So if I try to run an app on wine and it doesn't and I don't find any user documentation about some specific trick or config for that app what adjustments can I do to try to make it run? I mean, it's tiring and perhaps foolish to spend hours playing with every possible config in wine frontend without knowing what I'm doing. So what can I do to find out what libraries, configs, tricks or scripts are needeed to make an app run under wine if it didn't at the first try?

Ubuntu :: Running Apps As User Gdm?

Feb 26, 2011

In Karmic, I could run an app as user gdm by issuing the following command (assume the app is gconf-editor)

Code:

gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor

Now that I've switched to Marverick when I issu the same command I get this:

Code:

towheed@GA1A4CH:~$ gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor
No protocol specifiedNo protocol specified
** (gconf-editor:19812): CRITICAL **: Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

I checked my environment variable DISPLAY using:

Code:

towheed@GA1A4CH:~$ echo $DISPLAY

and it returned:

Code:

:0.0

Now I ran the command:

Code:

gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor --display=:0.0

and got the same error as before.Has either or both dbus-launch or gksudo changed their behavior os is this a bug. Note that the command does not work with any applications being run as the user gdm.

Fedora :: Running 32bit Apps On 64Bit 11?

Mar 25, 2010

I'm trying to run a library compiled in a 32bit Linux (CentOS) environment on my Fedora11 64bit image. I ran into a few issues with dependencies such as gcc, xml2, ssl plus a whole stack more that existed in /lib64 and no/lib where the binary was expecting them. After a bit of reading around, I found I needed to install the .i586 version of each of the dependencies. After adding most of them, I was left with libssl, libcrypto and libxml2. When I tried to do the following

Code:

yum install openssl.i586

I got an error stating it could not be copied due to a conflict with the i686 version. I was going to erase the i686 but it was going to remove a ton of other stuff so I created a symbolic link in /lib to point to 64bit version. Eventually, ldd had no missing dependencies so I figured I was good to go. I now get the following errors when I call my library

./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so)
./SupervisionServer: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpalo_ng.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

PHP is installed and working and the libpalo_ng.so.0 is in the /lib folder

Ubuntu :: WindowList - Can't Find Running Apps

Mar 14, 2010

I have 4 workspaces set up and they appear on the bottom menu bar. Usually I can switch to each and see what's running in each, even if the apps are minimised. Now I can only see what hasn't been minimised, and I can't see or return to the ones that are minimised... System Monitor shows the minimised apps are running... I was poking around gconf editor late the other night and I must have altered a setting but I have no idea which. I've looked through docs etc but can't find a solution.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Install New Browsers - Other Apps Running?

Feb 16, 2011

After downloading a Chrome (for Linux of course) installation package via FireFox. Opening it from Downloads, entering the Administrator password. Then clicking on the " Install Package " button in the " Package Installer " window, I get a message:
"Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time, please close the other application 'synaptic', 'aptitude', or 'update manager' first."
I see no evidence of these apps or any others running & I got rid of the Firefox. Are these " Other Apps " hidden somewhere, how do I determine this?

Ubuntu :: Running Apps From Across Two Distros On Same Disk

Feb 21, 2011

I really do not know how to phrase this question properly. I am quite unaware of the PC jargon. But I have Ubuntu as the main OS and Mandriva is the second OS on the same hard disk. The boot loader is the Ubuntu. When I want to switch to Mandriva, on boot up I press Shift and then select the kernel.However, if I am on Ubuntu and want to run an application which resides on Mandriva, how do I do that? My fstab file does not even mention Mandriva. However, the file system does show up that file and I can open any files I need by clicking on GUI "Places". But when I try to run any of its applications by clicking the appropriate file on its /bin file nothing happens. A pop-up window briefly flashes and disappears. So my questions are:

1. First how can I change directory so that I am on Mandriva. Can' cd ...something' take me to that file because I see it in "Places" as a 36Gb file system?
2. How can I run an application which resides on that file system e.g., R or Octave which I do not have installed on Ubuntu, without rebooting into Mandriva.
3. Can I do this from command line.
4. And finally, can I do the same from Mandriva i.e., access Ubuntu from it.

I did read quite a bit about mounting files and fstab, but the fstab does not show the file system I am talking about. These are the outputs from Ubuntu os.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Running Apps Through JACK In Lucid?

May 22, 2010

I have lucid and jack almost the way I want. I can't get apps like flash (in firefox) and rhythmbox to run through JACK. I've followed some outdated guides on the forums here, but I haven't had any luck.

I set up gstreamer to use jackaudiosink, but no luck.

If you ask me, JACK + ALSA should be the default, with maybe a simplified or automated control system for people who don't want to exploit their might

I hate having to close up a massive JACK patch just to watch a quick movie, or having to close Pidgin so JACK will start.

Software :: Running Windows Apps By Installing WINE?

Jan 26, 2011

I'm somewhat knew to Linux (CentOS), so WINE is completely foreign to me also. I'm immediately interested in TaxAct, which is how I learned about WINE. My question is whether my system will maintain the same stability that Linux is known for, and whether my CentOS build will keep it's current RHEL integrity after I install WINE, and probably other Windows Apps. Your experience with WINE is coveted.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: DVD And MP3 Playback - Running All The Necessary Files - Codecs - Apps

Dec 26, 2009

For the longest time DVD and MP3 playback have haunted me. I fully understand the idea behind open source and not packaging the codecs with the OS. My question is this: I am running openSUSE 11.2 on my lappy. When I try to follow steps online to install all the necessary codecs, plugins and applications. I always seem to run into dependency problems. Can ANYONE out there give a step by step walk through of installing and running all the necessary files, codecs, apps. from a fresh install that has worked for them to get media to work in suse 11.2? For the sake of example and trying to get this process done right lets assume that I have installed suse fresh on my system and want to play DVD's and listen to MP3's.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Enable Audio For Other Apps While Mythtv Is Running?

Nov 14, 2010

I have Songbird running on another display on the same machine as my Mythtv frontend but while the frontend is running, audio seems to be disabled for it and other applications. I assume that this is because Mythtv suspends Pulse audio.

Is it possible to make this work without enabling pulse audio?

OpenSUSE Network :: Configure Machine To Also Act As A WINS?

Apr 23, 2010

I have been working on this for about 4 hours so I am extremely frustrated. I am trying to access windows shares from my linux box. I will worry about getting my own data shared afterwards.

I was having the authentication problem described by swerdna's sticky, and it was solved by the upgrade. However apparently that is not the main problem. samba is trying to use my ISP's DNS to resolve the internal network names. I have a vague conceptual understanding of WINS and NetBIOS - but Windows does this without any extra steps. Do I need to configure my machine to also act as a WINS? how do I do that? In my searches I found a thread about "why do windows to linux users give up?" this is why.

Ubuntu :: Globered WINS Samba Server?

Aug 18, 2010

I have been using samba with WINS enabled for a few years now. I know all setting in my smb,conf were and still are fine. For some unknown reason my samba shares got wacked. I have no idea what cause it but I could not fix it. So I decided to take the plunge and install a smb client. I remember thinking, I'm going to regret this... After the install of system-config-samba It would not run, I saw a few forums talking about missing dependencies

Code: sudo aptitude install samba samba-common-bin system-config-samba smbfs smbclient After words my permissions got fixed. So I was quite happy. and Wins was working great with all shares set up correctly. Than after a reboot WINS was not working. So I tried to clear out the WINS data files and restart smbd, but now it wont create my WINS.dat file. I dont see anything in the logs that helps me here, any ideas?

Currently my shares are good, samba is working fine, but WINS will not works. From a windows box I get "There are no entries in the list." from a net view.

Fedora Servers :: Samba PDC / Wins Proxy To Allow Share Across Networks

Mar 23, 2011

My Fedora router has three nic's, one for the internet, one for lan and one for the wireless network, which uses hostapd. I have set up samba in order to enable windows file sharing from wireless lan to wired lan. Using the samba documentation I have enabled the wins server and wins proxy which should allow met to browse the shares across the networks, which theoretically should do the trick but it doesn't work as expected. I can see the pc's from the other network using windows neighbourhood, but as soon as I access one of them it fails saying that "network path could not be found" or something like this. Tried using windows 7, windows xp and linux for browsing but the result is the same. As firewall I have shorewall and the samba specific ports are enabled for both networks. How to setup samba for inter-network browsing?

I have attached the global config section from smb.conf file:
Code:
[global]
server string = Samba Server
interfaces = eth1, lo, wlan0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50 .....

Networking :: OpenVPN + Samba Wins (weird Ip Address Resolving)?

Mar 8, 2010

I have a CentOS 5.3 box running Samba and OpenVPN. I have the Samba server setup as a WINS server and OpenVPN pushes the WINS server to clients when they connect. Everything is working great except for one problem. When I connect to the VPN using a Windows machine at a remote location, I can ping all the host names of computers on the VPN network no problem at all. However, when I ping the host name of the OpenVPN server it resolves to 192.168.122.1. All my machines are on a 10.x subnet and I have no idea where this ip is coming from. I've checked the hosts file, lmhosts, etc. and can find no reference to this 192.168.122 subnet.

I think I recall seeing this 192.168.122.1 ip when I had installed the Virtualization group and it created a virtbr0 network bridge with that ip. I've since removed the Virtualization software and deleted that bridge.
