Ubuntu :: Chat / IM Client That Has Email-actions And Auto-login (Trillian-like)?
Jun 30, 2011I've been using Trillian under Windoz, for one reason only - the email message-handling is amazing. Here are the features that impressed me the most with Trillian:
Check multiple email accounts + notifications (but that exists in many other clients)
Preview subject line + message body teaser (this exists to some extent in Adium)
Preview the above not only upon email-check, but in the client window itself or as tooltips when hovering over email-account name Email ACTIONS - right-clicking on individual messages, can perform common tasks (archive, delete, view, mark as read).
The actions available change for different protocols AUTO LOGIN-when double-clicking the account a browser window will open and automatically log me into the account That last feature is the most important one - at the moment, Pidgin/Adium/Empathy just send me to the email-account's homepage. I have (too) many email accounts, and having to enter login details to each is a pain. With Trillian, I could d-click an account, see my inbox, logout and then d-click another account - and be logged into that one... easy peasy.
Now, this is not a commercial for Trillian... really not. I just haven't found any other client that can do these things, nor have I found plugins for Empathy/Pidgin that enable this. I've been using Pidgin for now, cos it doesn't give any trouble with Skype integration (already tried the skype4empathyandpidgin, didn't work out) and has nice (not amazing) integration to the messaging menu.

General :: Auto Start Bash Script After Login To Desktop?
Mar 26, 2010I am using Fedora and trying to auto run a script soon after the unit boots to desktop. I found many suggestions and finally decided to use the Sessions->Startup Programs option (under System->Preferences->Personal->Sessions menu). I added my script in the Startup Programs with the command 'sh myscript.sh'. Now I have two questions here:1. When I use the command 'gnome-terminal -e myscript.sh', I get 'There was an error creating the child process for this terminal' message after logging into the desktop. Can any one tell if I am missing something here?2. Even if I use sh instead of gnome-terminal, I still want to see the script executing. In other words, my script has certain echo statements indicating the flow of the script. But I don't see any shell opening up with these echo statements showing up, after the unit boots to desktop. But the script was still executed with no problem

View 13 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Shell Script To Shutdown Virtual Machines / Copy And Than Start VM?
Mar 16, 2011I need to make my 1st ever script to backup VMware workstation VMs to a folder which is then backed up offsite. Here is what I have so far (will be croned):
Code:
sudo vmrun -T ws stop "/home/gareth/vmware/NagiosWeb/NagiosWeb.vmx" soft
sudo vmrun -T ws stop "/home/gareth/vmware/UbuntuBackup/UbuntuBackup.vmx" soft
**copy or rsync to /home/gareth/vmware-backup/ dir**
[code]....
1. Just to confirm, I need to place the above in a file with #!/bin/bash at the top and make it executable.
2. How do I know when the VMs have safely shut down so I can start the copy? I guess I can either a. wait a specified amount of time b. run some sort of if statement to confirm they are off.
3. How do I use Rsync or cp to copy to the backup folder?
4. How will I know the copy is complete so that I can start the VMs again?
Ubuntu :: Nautilus Actions - This XML File Is Not A Valid Nautilus-actions Config File

When I attempt to import an action, it complains:

So far, the only one that has worked for me is "Move to custom folder" [url].
General :: Where To See Recent Changes / Actions On A Computer?
Jul 4, 2011I log on to a lot of different servers at work to do some tasks and install new software. However, sometimes I find myself wanting to know what has been done to the computer recently. This usually involves me going through log files and just observing the filesystem for new folders/files (usually in /tmp).
Is there some kind of a master log file which logs all (or nearly all) "activity" on the computer. Even getting a list of most recent command line 'history' from different users would be helpful to see what they did in the last couple hours. I only need to know the big things:
new software installs
important files being changed
new users/groups being made
Am I asking for too much from my system? If this doesn't exist I might just develop a tool to do it. In that case, which files should I be looking at to extract the information I want?

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Nautilus-actions 3.0 And Desktop Menu
May 8, 2010I'm using gnome and I'm trying to add custom actions to the right-click on desktop menu. I've read that this can be done using nautilus-actions, but all the references I've found explain it for older versions of nautilus-actions.
If I create an action (a firefox launcher, for example) and don't add any special conditions for it to show up, it shows when I right-click anything in nautilus, but not on the desktop.
I know it's possible since nautilus-open-terminal shows up on the desktop menu.

Feb 16, 2010On my local network, I use my Linux machine running dhcpd and IP masquerade as a gateway to the internet. As it is, the setup works just fine, and I've enabled dhcpd in all runlevels in the services dialog, but for some reason, it still does not automatically start when I boot the machine. If I select it and click "Start", it operates normally, and if I run "services dhcpd start" from a command line, that works too. My only guess is that it's some problem with my config file... it's the same setup I used with previous versions of Fedora without issues, but maybe things have changed?

Since my mouse is way too fast in Ubuntu even on the slowest settings (a topic for another discussion), I run a shell script at startup to fix this. Of course, the script is only run when I log into my account. Is there a way to have this script run at system start so that it affects all users? I already tried copying my fixmouse.sh script to /usr/share/gdm/autostart/ to no avail. If it's germane to the discussion, here are the contents of fixmouse.h:

Debian Configuration :: How To Auto-start GUI As Root
Sep 28, 2015I have a "time-server". It's sending time to different devices through different ports/protocols. The problem is that it has no operator and that makes some extra difficulties.
Now when i try to start it using terminal Code: Select allsudo ./myprogram works fine and
Code: Select all./myprogram doesn't work.
It is so because without sudo i have no access to ports. As a result If i add my program to System->Preferences->Startup Applications it has the same problem. So i need to start it as root, auto-start, right after auto-login to system but without entering password cause nobody will do it.
Also I need to start ntpd but it also asks password sometimes I've tried googles but it offer a few ways with entering password that isn't suitable for me or writing some scripts/changing system files but with no example I'm afraid to break it all. So is there a way to start Myprogram and NTPD as root with no password entering?
My system is Debian 6.0.10 Squeeze, Kernel 2.6.32-5-686

Ubuntu :: How To Restore PulseAudio Auto-start
Mar 30, 2010I broke PulseAudio accidentally, when I was trying to fix something else. I'm not sure what I did, but PulseAudio no longer starts automatically when I log in. That means I get no sound. I can start the PulseAudio daemon manually by running:
Code:
pulseaudio -D
at the command line, but I also have to go into sound preferences and select the correct hardware (Audigy 2 ZS card) instead of my motherboard's sound device (which is not connected to my speakers) to get sound back. How do I make all that happen automatically?

One important note: sc_serv must be up and running before Darkice can be started.

Ubuntu :: How To Auto Start / Add Transmission Torrents
Apr 3, 2011I usually add torrents to transmission through my iPhone. I have Transmission watch the 'Attachments' folder in my Dropbox. I also have Transmission auto add the torrent and delete the torrent file when done. Thing is if I don't have Transmission running when I add the torrent to my dropbox folder. Transmission doesn't start up to download the torrent. Is there a script that can watch for torrent files in my Dropbox folder that I can run in Scheduled Tasks to run every 5 min or so. Also when I have it up and running and I do have auto add on. It auto adds it to transmission but then the popup dialog appears to ask if I just want to download one of the files from the torrent or all 10. Is there a way to bypass this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Delay Auto Start Up Applications?
Apr 3, 2011I have it set up to start my music player (RBox) and torrent program (Transmission) when I log in. The problem is all my data is set on my 1TB external hard drive, because my internal hard drive only has 80GBs of space. When I start up the programs open but the external hasn't had time to link the file directories which messes screws up my torrents into having to verify every time and my music has to "recalibrate" as it were.
This isn't an issue when I manually open the programs after a minute or so but what my question really comes down to is... Is there a way to delay an automatic startup? Say, run application 3 minutes into boot up?
