OpenSUSE :: Application "run As" Command In Gnome ?
Dec 15, 2010
I've just made the switch from KDE to GNOME and I'm still working on making the transition and there is one thing that I can't find.
In KDE, I had the ability to right-click on a desktop icon and go to the "run as" property and tell it to run this app as someone else (i.e. root). This was very useful for things like file manager if I wanted to crank it up in supervisor mode. I would like to find the same ability in GNOME but can't seem to locate it.
In a similar vein, I've set up my repositories and I've tried to do auto-update but when I run it, it keeps stating I don't have the authorization. I guess I need to run it as root but I can't find a place on the icon to specify this setting.

I've just added an application to load on startup in gnome.At first gnome loads properly,but after few seconds that application starts automatically and I can see its icon on taskbar , then gnome freezes and I can't do anything in gui.
How I can remove that application from starup of gnome using command line?

I'm running openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME. I went through the Software Manager and deleted every instance of OpenOffice.org that was left after changing to LibreOffice, and also installed Beagle (+dependencies) and Tracker with some additional packages. Then I noticed that in the Application Browser there is no text next to the icons. Only the small version of the icons centered with no text (screenshot below).
The problem is I have no idea how to restore it to the way it was. I've already deleted Beagle and Tracker and their packages to no avail. I also noticed that YaST and Control Center both look fine. It's only the Application Browser.

1. Is there a command option to launch an application minimized?
i.e. in terminal
firefox -minimized [URL]
That opens firefox but does not minimize...
2. Also, is there a command option to add the application to the system tray?

At the moment 'make' returns this:
Code:
./kernelversion.c:13:30: fatal error: linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile.inc:81: *** Cannot detect kernel version - please check compiler and KERNELPATH. Stop.
I would do a little more homework, but I already did a lot only to get stuck here, and I need to solve this sooner rather than later.
I have already: installed devel and desktop-devel and given up about 350mb of diskspace to
Code:
zypper in -t pattern devel_C_C++
Only to still not have the make function available.
If that install was unecessary, I'm hoping there's a simple uninstall version of that line.
Reading what it's saying, it sounds like I may have all the right kit but it needs a nudge in the direction of the kernel??

Is it possible to add a menu option to allow me to open a program as root from inside the application browser window? In windows if you hold ctrl and right click a program icon your given the option to "run as" (windows equivalent of sudo). Is there a way to get something like that in the application browser in gnome?

I add a "command line" or "mini-commander" applet to the panel in gnome, but nothing happens.
If I launch "/usr/lib/mini_commander_applet" on a terminal, I get a dozen such applets, for all the times I tried, but then I have an xterm tied up.
If I launch the same from "alt-f2" it does not work, and gives no error.

I'm wanting to be able to run the Open Suse start menu from the command line.king remotely, I have found that I have faster response time by only running specific X components instead of an entire desktop (particularly useful under Windows 7 Cygwin). Specifically, I'd like to invoke the start menu from a ssh command line.On Linux Mint,line command is:mintmenuWhat is the equivalent command to bring up the Slab Start Menu on Open Suse?

so the safest way to go about this is to assume I know nothing. I mean, I have a rough Idea of what a kernel is, no idea what a shell is, etc. I do consider myself computer savvy, but know NOTHING about linux and thats why I'm Diving in, hopefully not too much, this is just to give you an idea of what we're working with here.
After several install attempts I kept getting a blank screen. Whether it be black,white, or the default gnome desktop (without any icons, and simple things like ctrl+alt+backspace just doesn't work, or anything else for that matter) I was ending up with a blank screen. Driver for moniter....maybe....but I did succesfully install it once, and it worked like a charm...shutdown properly, and the next day after work...Boom, same thing after startup.today I started from scratch and re-installed....samething, until I hit the power button, went from the dvd(iso) and did a fail safe, now my resolution is much better than it was the first time..Actual questions.....what did I do to fix it when failsafe never worked before?
Is there a way to save these settings, so I don't run into the problem again, because I don't even want to turn of my computer at this point?If i'm trying to dive in and learn the command line actions, is there any substancial difference between gnome terminal or hitting "c" to bring up the command line?

I've downloaded VideoLan (VLC) via Yast but the icon was placed in the audio folder. How do I move it to the video player folder? Also, where are additional icons stored? I run SuSE 11.2 (boxed version) with KDE.

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

I am trying to get the KDE Media screen saver working in GNOME. Is there a way to use kde's screensaver program in gnome on startup, instead of gnome's screen saver program? Basically, I am trying to disable gnome's screensaver, and load kde's program in its place at gnome startup.

Centos 5.6 - I'm trying to lock the screen immediately after successful gnome user login. My steps...
System > Preferences > More Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs tab > Add
I've tried the following...
gnome-screensaver-command --lock
/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command --lock
Neither of these seem to work from the Sessions gui. Although from terminal I can run gnome-screensaver-command --lock with no problems.

Seems like such an unbelievably basic question, but a day of google searches as well as directly on this site with key word combinations like "jessie gnome application launch" or "jessie gnome launcher" has only yielded one remark somewhere that the only way to get any kind of custom application launcher working on a gnome 3.14 desktop is to copy an already existing one from an older gnome setup, such as Wheezy.
I know gnome is a bit limited compared to many other desktops, but besides this I consider gnome in Jessie very good and just can't believe the ability to customize application launchers could have really been made completely impossible to do. This single omission alone would make gnome extremely lame in my view, so I sure hope that is not in fact the way it is.

I have installed KDE from the Ubuntu Software Center. Now I have the following... well, I wont call them problems, rather just annoyances.
1. The mouse pointer is KDE's pointer (I presume) in both interfaces.
2. I have mixed applications in the menus of both GNOME and KDE... GNOME has KDE's stuff and KDE has GNOME's stuff.
3. The Ubuntu screen at shutdown turned to Kubuntu regardless of being in GNOME.
The first and last one is not much of a problem for me, but is there a way of restoring each interface's default menu items? Since I know what I manually installed, I can just enable them again in Main Menu of Administration in GNOME and in KDE wherever that setting will be. If not, can someone maybe just give me a menu list in text or pics (ok, I know this might be asking a lot) so I can at least only have GNOME stuff in GNOME and KDE in KDE.
