May 29, 2011I'm planning to begin using K3B to burn backup data DVDs. Brasero kinda disappoints as burning software. It can't verify the data after a burn. It only offers the maximum burn speed. It doesn't off options like Disk At Once and Track At Once. K3B is oriented towards KDE. Are there any other GNOME burning choices than Brasero?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora :: F15 Gnome3 Alternatives?
Jun 24, 2011F15 running on my Dell Latitude 505 laptop. During installation (last week) I got "Gnome3 not fully supported - using fallback mode". I found out later that my Intel 855 video doesn't support 3D, which Gnome3 requires.
System seems to run fine and boots into fallback video. But I'd sure like to have access to my "desktop" so I can drag and drop folders, etc. there. Currently I now have to open the Desktop folder, and then drag and drop, etc. And without an "active" desktop screen, added devices (external drives, cameras, etc.) don't show up unless I open the Desktop folder. Is there an alternative to Gnome3 I can install? I assume without the need for 3D which my Intel video 855 doesn't support.
If there's an alternative or two, could someone point me to exactly how to install them? If there's a more appropriate forum here for this request,

Jun 3, 2010What's the best Remote Desktop Application? Citrix GoToAssist is a really nifty little web application for customer support that allows you to take control of someones OSX, or Windows machine. Essentially, it works likes this:
You log in to your management console You get a code You give them a code, and a website (fastsupport.com) They go there and enter in the code They accept the browser applet which installs a program on their computer You have control of their desktop
You can see their desktop, configure applications, etc. They can also see when you disconnect. It is really rather nifty, but it doesn't support Linux and it is rather expensive (660$ a year). Does anyone know of any alternatives to this? I'm looking for a solution as simple on the user as this one, that doesn't require firewall configuration or setting up ssh/vnc/rdesktop etc.
General :: Alternatives For The Ulimit Command?
May 26, 2010I want to call/run an .exe file from a perl file as so:
Code:
my $cmd=`runner.exe`;
I want to limit the time I want it to run (say 20 seconds).
ulimit should do it as so:
Code:
my $cmd=`ulimit -t 20; runner.exe`;
but I get this:
Quote:
sh: line 0: ulimit: cpu time: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
any alternatives that can do the same thing as ulimit? even if it's just for this one process (runner.exe)
General :: How Does The Etc/alternatives System Work
Jan 17, 2010I've been a Java developer for some time now and I always wind up removing a bunch of stuff from /etc/alternatives in favor of one of several freshly downloaded official Sun JDKs I've installed myself. I don't like circumventing things unnecessarily, though and I also don't like "re-inventing the wheel", either. If I had a better idea of how that system worked, perhaps it would not be required. I mean I usually write a script to switch between jdk's for different projects but perhaps I would not need a script if I knew how this worked

I am aware of the existence of Gnome Office and KOffice and have been tinkering with both, but I am curious as to whether or not anyone here on LQ has found a more suitable replacement.Here's hoping someone forks OO.o before Oracle pulls another stunt.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Getting Recommendations For Application Alternatives?
Mar 14, 2011I am searching for recommendations for some applications I am currently using and would like to know what the members of this community are thinking:
1-Gwenview: prior to version that came with KDE4.5.1, Gwenview used to be very fast and easy on the system resources. I am not quite sure if it is because I am using XFCE or just because Gwenview got bloated like KDE, but it is very frustrating to have to restart Gwenview after 10 minutes of work or so because it became too slow to respond and constantly lag behind... After a few file operations, it gets so slow that copying a picture of 1MB solewhere else on my HDD takes more than 5 sec. It just becomes sluggish. Anybody know an alternative to Gwenview that would have the same look and feel and the same basic features ?
2-Okular: Really dont know what happened and I tried to reinstall it several times, but it simply no longer runs.. If I launch Okular it will open, but if I open a PDF file by double clicking on it, it will launch Okular and it will immediately crash. In konsole I see:
Code:
okular: relocation error: /usr/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so: symbol gzopen64, version ZLIB_1.2.3.3 not defined in file libz.so.1 with link time reference
I really tried to google this and to reinstall the poppler libraries, no success. For now I am stuck with XPDF and feel I am back in 1974 with pre-commodore technology.
3-Not a big deal, but I am using Thunar as my file browser and really miss Dolphin's features such as shortcuts (places) and general look and feel. I do however prefer thunar's speed. Anybody knows of a good file browser and if not, how to add shortcuts to thunar like in Dolphin?
