OpenSUSE :: When Using Skype E.g And Close It,it Remains Running In The Background?
Jul 27, 2010
I have two queries,when am using skype e.g and I close it,it remains running in the background however I cant maximise it again.(have to kill it and then start it again).ALT+ TAB brings the other processes but not skype.It's still running and I can see notifications.2.In firefox,when am scrolling down a page,the text gets mingled into each other,i have tried to edit options in firefox (autoscrolling and smooth scrolling) but no positive change.

I have something like:cd project && python manage.py runserver &cd utilities && ./coffee_auto_compiler.pyAnd I want both of them to close on Ctrl-C (or some other command). How can I accomplish that?EDIT:I tried using jobs -x kill and kill `jobs -p `, but it doesn't seem to kill what I need. Here is what I mean:oon 8119 0.0 0.0 7556 3008 pts/0 S 13:17 0:00 /bin/bashmoon 8120 6.8 0.4 24568 18928 pts/0 S 13:17 0:00 python manage.py runserverjobs -p give me just process 8119, but I also need to close 8120, since it's the thing that the first command opened.If it helps, the commands are actually in a Makefile, and I want it to run two daemons at the same time (and somehow close them at the same time).

I can configure my software's appearance? Well, for the KDM theme, the Grub Bootsplash, i can download themes people so generously create. I however, desire the BOOTSPLASH. or whatever it is, of openSUSE 11.1. the green with white veins in the background, and a strip of black running horizontally across, with "openSUSE" written on it in white. i mean the one that masks the initial Text interface, the FIRST GUI you see after GRUB. The one that also shows when you power down. Is this a plausible endevour? I do have my 11.1 iso, in case it's stored as a theme in there.

I 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?

So, this may have something to do specifically with conky, but I don't understand how sometimes when I run 'conky' from the terminal and then once it loads I close the terminal, it kills conky. But other times, I do the same thing, wait for it to load, and it just keeps running! In both cases, I don't get a "user@computer~:$" prompt back after running 'conky' either. That happens sometimes with other things like gedit too..

Every day I use the top command to check the processes running on my Kubuntu 10.10 system. Every day I find that apt-get is running under the root account and using 100% of the CPU. It'll run forever if I let it but I use "killall" to stop it. Pressing the "c" key in top shows the command used to start the process and doing that I see that apt-get is being started with "apt-get -qq -y update". The -qq param is for quiet mode and the -y is to answer yes to any questions. The important thing is the update parameter. It seems that some "feature" of Ubuntu is starting apt-get in update mode for me on a daily basis. I installed Kubuntu only 3 days ago and I don't recall turning this "feature" on anywhere. How can I disable this "feature" and prevent the system from auto-starting apt-get.?

I have a LAMP server with some php files. When I do this:
> php -f filename.php
It works great. But of course, it stops when I close the SSH window. I need to be able to run it and leave it running. The script is a crawler and it takes about 3 hours to complete it. So I tried this:
> php -f filename.php &
This doesn't work at all. It doesn't even execute the script.

I am running a dual-boot of LMDE and Debian Squeeze XFCE, and I actually have a Debian XFCE question. How can I tell what is running in the background. I have been tweaking my Debian install since I first installed it about 3 weeks ago, and I keep adding to the RAM usage. What is the best way to see what else is running out there and whether or not is it necessary?

Ive got my webserver linked up to my ubuntu computer, and i want it to act like a server controller (for srcds games or w/e) Basically, When i click the start button, the SSH launches 'css.sh' by doing this 'sh css.sh'... Anyway, the .sh file has this inside it cd sourceds/srcds_1/orangebox clear ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
But either way, that is becides the point. When it launches i dont see the terminal window, its invisible.... (but its running) How do i see it when i go to my ubuntu desktop and how to i put more commands in it once its launched in the background.

In a script that I run manually after I have logged in, I have the following:alias kq='konqueror &' The intention is to run konqueror in the background. What happens is as follows. A. I run kq; it starts konqueror but does not return to the command prompt. I quit konqueror. B. I run kq again ; it starts konqueror and this time I get a the command prompt. If I quit konqueror and run kq for a 3rd time it behaves as in A. Quit and run it behaves as in B, and so on..

I have written a script, lets call it B, that calls scripts A1 to A9. I want to run the A scripts simultaneously since they can take up to 3 hrs to complete. As you might expect, I use the & to run the script in background. I am looking for a mechanism to evaluate the return code from the A scripts when they eventually complete?

I'm running Ultimate Edition 2.0 64bit. When I'm running Firefox and I'm not doing anything on it it starts to use the disk intensively. I checked on terminal using the top command and it IS Firefox using up to 85-90% of the resources. Anyone know what the problem is here? Can it be hacked? I already uninstalled and installed back again and it still doing it.

I was wondering how one could set up tcpdump to run in the background, dumping all output to a file until I terminate the process.Here is the dilema... I SSH into the box that will be listening (using tcpdump)...
ssh> sudo tcpdump -i eth0 > dump_file
yadda yadda...
then if I exit my ssh session, tcpdump closes.
If I do a...
ssh> sudo tcpdump -i eth0 > dump_file &

I have a script that calls another program/script, xxx, to run in the background. Supposedly this program at most should finish within five (5) minutes so after five (5) minutes, I run some other steps to run the script into completion. My problem is sometimes the program takes longer than five (5) minutes and this is causing problems when running the rest of the steps in the scripts. Can anyone suggest how to re-program my script. At the moment, the KSH script, i.e. test.ksh, is doing as below:
test.ksh:
.....
.....
xxx/xxx.ksh <--- program/script called by the script
sleep 300
..... run the rest of the script .....
..... problem is sometimes xxx/xxx.ksh takes longer than 300 seconds .....
..... any way that I can monitor that xxx/xxx.ksh finishes before I run .....
..... the rest of the scripts .....
