Mar 24, 2010I originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed. So I'm still using the Ubuntu Lucid default bootloader grub2. I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9ac05ede-e7c4-47f3-b55b-66d5844$
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop root=/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
}
which parameters should I add?
Ubuntu :: GDM Background - Cannot Change The Background Image To Any Of Mt .jpg Wallpaper Files And .png Files
Apr 3, 2011I have spent the most part of 5 hours trying to fix this issue. For some reason I cannot change the background image to any of mt .jpg wallpaper files (and .png files). I've tried using the Ubuntu-Tweak application, but I end up getting a purple screen (default) or a black screen (default). So then I tried using the terminal method by making the Appearance window appear when I would log out. That works, except when I go to use my background image, it shows as a question mark for the image preview, and the icon for the file is a gray box. All while doing this my background images that I tested are all in the /usr/share/backgrounds location. Please help! I really want to get rid of the default images and use my images... :/ My desktop/screen in 1440x900, and most my background images are around that size. They work with my regular desktop for my account.

General :: Different Background For Each New Terminal?
Mar 7, 2011I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10. I frequently end up opening a few terminals and it's easier to keep track of what I'm doing if the terminals have different backgrounds or are colored differently. Is there a way already made which will start up a new terminal with a background different then one that's already open? Or a way that when the terminal is opened it will start the terminal under a profile that's not yet open? That being, when I open a terminal it opens the "first" profile. Then once I try opening a new terminal it checks and finds that I already have one with the "first" profile open and so the new terminal is opened with the "second" profile.Does anything like this feature already exist? Or something like it?

May 31, 2010I have a LAMP server with some php files. When I do this:

General :: Pull Process / Job Into Background
Jan 17, 2011I know of terminating a command with & and then moving it into the background by pressing Ctrl-Z and then bg [pid], and I also know of nohup. But say you started a process that turned out to take much longer than one expected, is there a way of pulling, so to speak, this process from another terminal screen into the background so that even if I log off from the server the process would continue?

General :: Sync Filesystem In Background?
Aug 25, 2011While coding Python, I tend to save files very often (I have a pretty high code->test->code->test->... frequency). I hate when Linux syncs my changes to disk everytime I do a write.
How do I configure Linux so that it keeps file writes in memory for a certain period of time/number of writes?
To make this any useful, of course reads to not-yet-fsynced files must be from memory (so that the Python interpreter always sees the latest contents). Extra credits for background-fsyncing that doesn't block other writes/reads going on at the same time :-)

General :: Alias To Run A Program In The Background?
Mar 4, 2011I'm running Utorrent server and I figure I would create an alias to launch the program and run it in the background.alias utorrent='/home/user1/software/utorrent-server-3.0/utserver &'It seems to run the program but the associated webui program is flaky and won't start correctly.If I manually go to the specified path and run the command ./utserver & , I never seem to have an issue with the webui.I was wondering if this could possibly have anything to do with using the '&' ampersand operator in an alias.
