View 7 RepliesThe visual file manager Midnight Commander has the menus Left, File, Command, Options and Right.
Is there any shortcut key to open these menus?
I've been happily using jaunty until yesterday. After reinstalling kubuntu to natty everything works fine except leafpad:
nick@rilmir:~$ sudo leafpad
[sudo] password for nick:
nick@rilmir:~$ leafpad
Segmentation fault
nick@rilmir:~$
So, when I run it as root, it works, but when I run it as ordinary user, it segfaults.Where do I even start looking?
When running leafpad as root, it saves its options, but when running it as regular user, it doesn't. Why? I have to configure it every time I close leafpad and start again.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn natty, if I hit the super key once, it opens the launcher, but it also opens the dash. And the launcher doesn't work the same when the dash is open. It takes two clicks on a program icon to open the program when the dash is open, and only one click when the dash is closed. Just enough to keep me from getting into a rhythm.Hitting the super key twice will open the launcher and close the dash, but only if you don't hit the super key twice too quickly. Is there some way I can configure unity so the super key (or some other key) opens the launcher but does not open the dash?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having Ubuntu Kramic Koala and i want to create a custom application launcher on the panel so when it is clicked it should open a terminal window and run the following command and then show the output for 5 secs and then closes the terminal... how can i do this?
Code:
cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode && sleep 5
the above command is what i want to be executed at time of running the custom application launcher. if i paste the command in a terminal, it will show the output for 5 secs and then terminates... that's almost what i want. what i exactly want is that, i want it to work like when i click on the shortcut launcher, it should open a terminal and then exectues that command, show the output for 5 sec, pause, and then exits the teriminal.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi have been running windows from ME through to Windows 7 over the years. and i must admit that because of all the flaws with the earlier versions and those wonderful little viruses that seem to show up even though your teenagers swear they didn't do anything ,have made me somewhat skilled at formatting and reinstalling the OS to the point where i have done it for several other ppl to help them out. I rather enjoy doing it actually.
and i have been a big fan of lets just call it "open source" windows software. now this ubuntu thing seems to have taken some of the fun away..
i ran the cd version of 10.10 and really liked what i saw so i installed it alongside my windows 7. naturally as luck would have it something went astray and i can no longer boot to win7. not a big deal. i was going to format and reinstall anyways. ha ha.
i have been reading through the forum learning what i can but now my question
i still have a machine running windows on my home network.

I wanted to do this:
Code:
ssh root@10.10.10.10

As an absolute novice I am finding it difficult to understand Linux. There seem to be FAR too many variables to get a grip on how thing work. Anyway, I am trying to find out how to create a "desktop" shortcut icon which will open fbreader for ebooks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux and have just upgraded to Ubuntu 10 / Thunderbird 3. One of my gripes however is that Thunderbird uses a number of shortcut keys that have no secondary key requirements, for example, "Mark as Read" is M. Not ControlM. Just M. Worse, "Mark as Junk" is J. Which means I sometimes inadvertently mark messages as Junk.
How can I customize Thunderbird's shortcuts so, for example, "Mark as Junk" is ControlJ?
On Linux, the Ctrl-[ key combination appears to be equivalent to hitting the Esc key. I would like to define Ctrl-[ as a shortcut in emacs but I am unable to because by the time the keystroke gets to emacs it looks like the Esc key was pressed. Is there anyway to disable this behavior so that Ctrl-[ simply means Ctrl-[?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I need to start or stop Tomcat, I am navigating to:
/Tomcat_Dir/bin
and once I am in the folder I enter:
./Startup.sh
And to stop the server, I navigate to the same directory and enter:
./Shutdown.sh
I was wondering if there was a way in Linux to alias the above described process, so that from any location in the filesystem, I can simply type in something like
StartTomcat or StopTomcat to perform the Startup and Shutdown of the web-server?
