Slackware :: USB (pyrocket) Launcher - Can't Get It To Detect At All
Apr 8, 2011
I just received a USB Rocket Launcher as a gift today... However, I'm sure she didn't intend for me to have more fun setting it up than using it. I have found something called pyrocket, but I'm having a hell of a time getting it to actually work. After installation, it started fussing about dependencies so I managed to get most of them installed. One dependency, however, I can't get it to detect at all. It spits out this (concerning OpenCV):
how to get a desktop launcher for gslapt working with root privileges in Gnome? [GSB, actually].
Gslapt works fine when started from a terminal, but it'd be nicer if I could just click the icon. I've tried: # /usr/sbin/'su -c gslapt' but get: "Failed to execute child process "/usr/sbin/su -c gslapt" (No such file or directory).
I suppose I could use a script, but is there a simpler way?
I'm finally getting around to configuring my Xfce desktop environment and I'm having a lot of trouble having applications remember their last position. I did some Googling and found this is either not a supported feature or it depends on the application if they want to support it or not.
I'm trying to make my default terminal start in the center of the screen.
I found that you can add the command line parameter
Code:
For example and it should open at a 70x20 size in the 20+30 position. I added that to my panel launcher's command and ended up with
Code:
However the terminal isn't opening at all.
After further reading, I discovered the default launchers use your preferred applications so I just used replaced the launch command with the following and it worked perfectly:
i tried following the readme file included in the driver of the usb network adapter but seems its not exact.
any ideas on how i can configure it manually? KDE does not detect any wifi device. .(of course since no driver is installed yet).
i used my desktop (win***)with DSL connection and installed the driver of the usb net adapter.. made it as the access point. . so my laptop detects the desktop as wifi spot.
I have to deal with a fairly psychopathic and untrustworthy person who is unfortunately the company's computer security expert, who is also an admitted hacker. I recently installed Slackware to prevent him from spying on my basic activities, deleting my windows and moving my mouse pointer, as he did when I had Windows on my PC. However I now need to make sure he isn't going to do the same with my Slackware installation. Other than reinstalling Slackware periodically, what can I do to detect spyware like a keylogger, or to detect that he has rootkitted commonly used parts of the distro to provide a backdoor etc? BTW I've never considered encrypted a hard drive but now that I'm dealing with this idiot I would be open to that.
For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.
I installed slackware 13.1 a couple of days ago. I am a complete linux newbie..I am able to connect to internet from windows using the USB cable of my modem..but this modem is not detected in linux..is there any option to make linux detect it?
I have a pentium 3, 1 GHz processor 256 RAM..and the info below i got from my terminal..
lsusb output
Code:
Code:
And here is some information about my modem
Code:

My linux laptop isn't able to detect the current battery state. I am using slackware64 13.37 xfce with a Toshiba L645 laptop.
This is what I came up with so far.
Code: lsmod Module Size Used by snd_seq_dummy 1479 0 snd_seq_oss 30116 0
[Code].....
I use a program called conky that reports my cpu frequency and most of the time it's always at 0.93GHz instead of 2.53GHz. Sometimes it jumps to 1.20GHz and 2.53GHz but falls back down to 0.93GHz. Is this normal?
I've got a problem on Slackware64 13.37, my sound is way to loud even on minimum settings, it just jumps from off to quite loud, this is not a hardware problem as when I use sound from my debian rescue partition I have full control, I have tried using alsamixer as well as the graphical volume control (I'm using xfce but a quick test on kde gives the same results), alsaconf doesn't seem to detect any sound cards, alsa mixer correctly identifies my sound card ( NVIDA ), been googling and searching these forums but all the sound problems seem to be about sound being to low or nonexistent.
I updated my Slackware installation to 13.37 today. I was running current (a few weeks old).
I recently bought a new set of 2.1 speakers, so i thought of re-running alsaconf and then alsamixer.
Thats when i got this strange error:
Code:
These are the contents of my /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
Code:
Here is the output of lspci and dmesg:
lspci:
Code:
dmesg:
Code:
Ok...The funny thing is, the sound still works! (Alsamixer shows all the 6 channels of my previous 5.1 speaker system).
Additional Info:
*Am using a customized kernel - version 2.6.39-rc5. **It does not work in the default Kernel 2.6.37.6, not even in 2.6.38. *** It works in kernel version 2.6.35.x and 2.6.36.x. (I checked!)
I'm not a distro hopper, but I have an old laptop at home (a Toshiba Satellite 2140CDS with AMD K6-2 processor, 192 MB RAM, and 20 GB IDE HDD) that I dropped Tiny Core Linux to see if it would run. And run it did, so I figured I would install Slackware (same as my desktop) onto the hard drive. I had to use the huge.s kernal since hugesmp.s complains about a missing function and then stops booting.
The problem is Slack 13.1 doesn't even recognize the hard drive (or CD drive it would seem). There's nothing under /dev that looks like sd* (or hd*). Nothing in /etc/fstab either. I don't have the dmesg of either Slack 13.1 install CD or tiny core handy, but I noticed in TC's dmesg it referred ide_pci_generic just before showing the hard drive and CD drive info. Nothing like that in Slack's dmesg.
I looked through some of the doc's and I understand all drives are now SCSI (real or emulated) so I should see sda and sdb (for my HDD and CD) but I don't. Both TC and Slack complained about some PCI memory conflict but I don't have the specifics handy. None-the-less, TC was able to see my drives so I don't think that's the problem (in this case).
i am trying to create an image of Slackware OS but vmware is not able to detect the disk. it gives me below error, "Unable to detect disks or volumes on the source machine. Make sure that the source is a supported linux distribution." can some one tell me what do i need to do to create the image.
My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.
This script is the result.
I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:
I've installed Squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64 on my laptop (Alienware M17X R3, Intel i7 Sandybridge, ATI Technologies Inc Broadway [ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6800 Series])The screen is 17", with maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. After a default install of the operating system, the maximum resolution I can select is 1280 x 1024.My research so far has suggested that I need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and provide xorg with the necessary resolution.
Again, by default, the xorg.conf file is not created. This leads me to believe that xorg is scanning my hardware at startup and providing me with whatever it thinks is appropriate. I tried following these instructions to generate an xorg.conf file. This process created an xorg.conf file under /root/.
When I copy this xorg.conf file to /etc/X11, I get a blank (i.e. black) screen. Deleting this file restores the default resolution 1280 x 1024.This system is dual booting with Windows 7. Under windows I am able to get a 1920 x 1080 resolution, so I know my hardware is up to it.At this stage I have yet to install the drivers for the Radeon graphics card.What are my options regarding configuring xorg to give me a higher screen resolution?
I have a new F12 install, and my syslog is filling up with messages about USB. I have 2 USB devices plugged in directly to the mobo (bluetooth keyboard receiver, touchscreen), and it keeps redetecting them and then disabling the port for some reason.
I'm installing thunderbird. not icedove, as that's several versions behind and not compatible with a lot of add ons. I'd like to make a launcher using the normal mozilla icon, but the icon chooser won't let me pick the .png file. What would I have to do to be able to use it ?
I'd like to make a launcher that starts a couple of programs at once. When I switch my brain into 'work mode' I'd like one click to start evolution, firefox and sunbird.
I am trying to make an app launcher for Ubuntu which replaces the top bar (default) in gnome. It will be a menu system in the middle of the screen which you would click on parts to bring up lists of apps and locations. What would be the easiest way to do this, and in which code?
On Xubuntu, I right click something like I did on Ubuntu, to add to panel.. It just clicks the program. There is NO options when I right click a program in Applications. It's frustrating.. re's an incredibly unnecessary way that is different than Ubuntu to put an application to my panel.
i was wondering, and maybe hoping, if there was any way i can create a launcher to open a program that must be ran in terminal for it to run. i don't really like opening terminal and going to the program's location to launch it, so is there any way for this to work?
