I have a few issues. I have a usb kernel driver and I want it to launch another program that will monitor a serial port when the usb device is connected. then i want to close the program when the usb device is disconnected. I also want the driver to create a soft link to the serial port. I know the inner workings of kernel drivers... how to get my driver to exec a program.

This is for a live performance type of setup. I have 2 graphics cards. One is attached to 2 projectors, which are what the audience sees. The other has a single monitor, which is backstage. The 'front' graphics card is configured in Twinview, and the 'backstage' one is configured as a second X screen by the nvidia settings control panel.
What I'd like to do is launch my show program from a terminal on my backstage screen, but have it show up on the other X screen, the 'front' one. X is amazing so I'm sure it can be done, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly how.
Personal Best for self-solving my own thread question:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0; xclock
launches on display 0
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.1; xclock
launches on display 1

I'm completely new to the Linux OS. It is very foreign to me, i'm very used to the way windows does everything, including how windows does installation. I know that Linux doesn't understand .exe files like windows does... which is part of the problem. I have a linux zip file of a program (Jgrasp) that I want to install. I unzipped it into my home file and then wanted to run the program, but I have no idea what to do next. How the heck do I run the program if i can't access the .exe's what files launch a program in linux?Also how do i get it to recognize the JDK files?

I don't mean the one i am using now that is set up with the mouse setting where it seems to be an assistive technologies application where there is a slider to set the dwell time (when i use this one, i get a menu opening at the same time as the application launch), but the one where the pointer turns to a little hand when it moves over the icon, and opens/launches the program when the button is released.

My first distro was kubuntu, and am now trying Fedora with KDE. I was annoyed that the open windows were not shown on the task bar. I tried adjusting all sorts of things, and finally figured out that all I had to do was add a certain widget. I had no idea that this is what I was looking for, since kubuntu already does that by default. But in the process of figuring this out, I caused KDE to crash. The next time booted with Fedora, KDE would not launch. So I logged into a virtual terminal and ran startx. I got the following errors:
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
startkde: could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation.
So I just recently migrated from Vista to Linux, I'm running Ubuntu Studio 10.04 on a HP Pavilion DV6700 with a Broadcom BCM 4312 b/g frequencies wifi adapter. I followed one guide telling me to use the hardware drivers program to activate Broadcom STA wireless driver, but whenever i attempt to do so it says "SystemError: InstallArchives() failed". Can anyone help?? (BTW i am not that adept with the Linux operating as of yet)

I've just made the leap from Windows to Linux after years of flirting with the idea. I downloaded and installed Fedora 15 KDE 64 bit (I have tried it before and remember KDE was the windows manager I used previously, so chose that).
However, when trying to get Skype to launch, I receive the error message: KDEInit could not launch usr/bin/skype
Before settling on Fedora, I also tried Linux Mint, using GNOME. Since the error message seems to suggest KDE is the problem, would it be possible to switch to GNOME, without having to redownload and do a clean install? Or would this be the equivalent of using a sledge hammer to crack a nut?
I have successfully customized linux (CentOS distro) using kickstart and custom splash screen. I havent added/installed any desktop (gnome/kde) package in my custom distro. So obviously after installation the linux will start in console mode.
My requirement is i have to add a custom gui which basically provides 1.product information 2. product agreement and 3. product cd key. My custom linux do not need a desktop, and just for my custom gui i do not wish to install all the desktop packages. Sitting with a blank slate if you know what i mean.
i should use Fedora and Ubuntu to learn about Linux but how to Launch the both OS in Command line mode to enable me learn some Linux command .

Today (25 of March) Fedora 10 asked to install latest security updates. I allowed it to install them and everything seemed ok. But after the next boot I understood that some applications won't launch. Skype, last.fm player, VirtualBox - all the qt ones. I've reinstalled those apps, and reinstalled qt. They still don't launch.When I execute one of them from terminal - it just waits and nothing happens.The process really starts, I can see it from ps -A and gnome's System Monitor.Here's the /var/log/yum.log for March 25th:

I installed f12 few days back. A pop up came which mentioned '336 new updates available' and I opted 'install only security updates'.

2. Fedora 2.6.31.6-127.fc12.i686.pae
