View 1 Replies View RelatedTo take a screenshot(or partial screenshot), I use to use the command-line, type "import <filename>.png" and then "alt-tab" away from the console (for me, xterm) and then (usually) select a part of the webpage showing up on the browser. However, I find in my modern X-window installations (I use osuse and slackware, with several window managers: xfce, icewm and awesome) the alt-tabbing bit doesn't work any more.To get by, I have to reduce the size of the console so that the bit I want to capture is visible as I write the import commandI figure this is an X problem, but it could also be an imagemagick problem (on that subject, I think I'm going to try out graphicsmagick soon)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed unbuntu 10.04.. since i dont want grub to boot my linux distros , i have installed the bootloader in the root partition (sda9 in my case with no separate partition for boot). Subsequent to successful ubuntu installation i booted using the live cd and extracted the boot loader using the following.
dd if=/dev/sda9 of=/ub.bin bs=512 count=1
Finally i edited the boot.ini (win xp) to show ubuntu in the menu which points to ub.bin.
But this doesnt seem to work... the same had worked with Mandriva 2010
Where did i go wrong ?
I have this weird program: dns2tcpc (creates a dns tunnel). I would like it to run at startup. However, I found that the program doesn't work when backgrounded! EX: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 Works, and I can use SSH to port 8888. However, if I try to background it, like: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 & Then trying to connect to SSH won't get any response
Now, I know this is a bug in dns2tcpc, and I really don't feel like compiling it or anything (I may have to), so is there any way to "trick" an application into thinking it's running in the foreground (like typing the command from the terminal window)? (Bonus if no addition installation is required)
I think that the kde4.x clipboard is mishandled. using any method of copy from a kde app causes the data to be cut instead of copied when pasted into another app (even non kde). Non kde apps behave as expected.
open gedit and kwrite.
type K in kwrite.
Type G in gedit
highlight the G in Gedit
(select copy or use primary)
middle click or paste into kwrite.
fine - there's a G in both editors.
Reverse, copy the K from kwrite and copy paste it into gedit. when you go back to kwrite the K is gone! Evil Magic. what's up? Can't wait until kde 5 or 6 when t gets to be usable again.
installed the 9.10 Version of ubuntu. Now the situation is: Four Computers are running under Windos XP-professional SP3 My computer, the fifth has ubuntu as os After the upgrade to ubunto 9.10 (with the newest updates installed today) I`m unable to access the windows network. Shows me only windows network but when I click on it no list of workgroup is shown and therfore the network cannot be connected
Only with one "trick" get access: connect to server, then putting the ip's of th windows computers I've got connection to all allowed dir of all the four windows computers (location: smb://ip-adress) To install a network printer is impossible neither with cups nor with system-> adaministration->print At my computer is one printer which works fine. the other printer a Xerox Phaser 6110 is connectet to one XP computer and is configured as network printer under Windows. The computer (IP-Adress is found but that is all) Printer is not connected.
Trying now for three days I'm really upset because there is one golden rule: Never touch running Systems! But you folks from ubuntu must bring ever second day some updates. Nothing against this, but configure your updates in that manner that the updates don't change all my settings. When I boot my computer with windows-XP all network computers are there and usable. My Samba config is ok too because otherwise I would not be able to connect to windows computer through the above mentioned trick.

I am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

I have a project directory that contains source code and subdirectories of source code. I want to use the Unix program find to search recursively for the names of files of certain extensions. The versions of find on Linux and Mac OS X behave differently.
# Works in Linux
find . -type f -regex ".*.(py|html)$"
# Neither of these works in Mac OS X
find . -type f -regex ".*.(py|html)$"
find . -type f -regex ".*.(py|html)$"
How do I write this command so that it will run on Mac OS X (and hopefully on Linux too)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a 64-bit Linux distribution to beta test TeraChem, a GPU-based quantum chemistry package. I have never personally used Linux, however, and I don't know anything about the available distributions. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations.
My system specifications:
CPU: Xeon W3520
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 275
Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX-58 UD5
Current OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I would not use Linux as my sole OS but would want to dual-partition (I think that is the term?). However, I think I would end up using the distribution for more than just running TeraChem. I may even become a convert!
What am I looking for in a distribution? Ease of use, efficiency, 64-bit. What do I know how to do? I can build computers, code in C++, comfortably use a command line.
I would like to make my own Linux distribution.Where do I find a Linux distribution that has just the OS, a browser and basic drivers for ethernet, video, etc.I can then build it up myself through the repo.

I was wondering if there was a bash command or something that would probe an application to maybe list the GUI menus (arguments) you could input to the application. This would also be interesting for CLI.
Let's say there was not a manual page for a bash command (options) and you wanted a "tire on the road" proof and not just recall something that is assumed to be correct or you did not want to click here there and e very where to see if a menu opened for a GUI?
I assume that this process could also work on the source code by searching for a input type of command.
This is just something I though would be a helpful hack type of thing and I'm not involved in a project for this type of functionallity. It's a shame that GUIs dont always list what they are capable of.
From a linux host, how can I find information about a lun that has been exported. For example, if I have 3 100G luns available via FC. How can I tell which is which?
