Slackware :: Gslapt Launcher As Root In Gnome?

Sep 16, 2010

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?

Ubuntu :: Create Launcher For Java File As Root

Dec 25, 2010

I have a java.jar (PCGen) that only works correctly if I run it with sudo from the terminal. I have to cd into its directory and run it as

Code:
sudo java -jar pcgen.jar

I would like to use a menu launcher instead of having to use the terminal each time. I tried

Code:
sudo java -jar /path/to/file/pcgen.jar

No luck. This .jar only works properly if ran as root, is there any easy way to do this?

Fedora :: How To Run Scripts From Gnome Launcher Not In The Terminal

Feb 17, 2011

I want to use the Gnome Launcher to launch a script I made but it will only work if I select "Application in Terminal." It will not launch if I use "Application". I've also noticed that my script will only run in the terminal regardless of how I launch it. Fedora will not let me just double click the file and "Run" the script. I don't want to open a terminal every time I run the script.

Debian Multimedia :: No Gnome 3.14 Custom Application Launcher?

Jun 30, 2015

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.

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):

Slackware :: Adding - Geometry Parameter To Launcher Not Working Xfce 4.6.2 On 13.37

Jun 14, 2011

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:

Ubuntu Installation :: Gnome Shell Replace Doesn't Work - No Application Launcher In Upper Left Hand Corner

Mar 4, 2010

So, supposedly Gnome Shell is available through synaptic. I just downloaded and installed it and then ran gnome-shell --replace. It doesn't work at all. I hit the windows key and get nothing and there is no application launcher in the upper left hand corner and Alt-f2 produces nothing at all. Alt-tab gives me the option of choosing the windows that were running when I ran gnome-shell --replace but nothing else works at all. Just a vast expanse of digital nothingness. Does anyone know why this might be? I have an nvidia video card (see sig below) and two monitors running from "twin view".

Slackware :: Use Of Zenwalk GNOME Packages As GNOME Distribution

Jul 26, 2010

Recently I've read an interview at Distrowatch, where a topic was the compatibility of Slackware and Zenwalk packages. My understanding was that now they should both be used in both systems.

As Slackware doesn't feature a complete GNOME distribution, my curiosity was about the ability of Zenwalk's GNOME packages play a role there. If so, the second question is how intrusive those packages are considering Slackware 13.1.

Slackware :: Linvo 2009.1rc6 - Slackware-based LiveCD With GNOME

Jan 6, 2010

I'm happy to announce Linvo 2009.1 rc6. It's a full-featured Linux distribution with a lot of applications by default, including an office suite (OpenOffice.org extended with plugins), a good internet browser (Firefox extended with plugins), a music player that supports music collection and a lot more - Exaile, a video player, and all the available codecs. It can open all types of file formats. It's a LiveCD, which means that you can test it without installing and after this optionally install it - it has a nice easy graphical installer.

It's the first Slackware-based LiveCD distribution with GNOME by default. It includes NetworkManager and initng in place of sysvinit. It also features accessibility tools. It is also the first release with the innovative portable applications system. This allows you to download application from the site (modules section), place it where you like, and use it. It's just a single file, no directories. You can also use this application without installing it, directly from the internet. However, after this, the speed of the application is limited by the speed of your connection, of course. Check out the "Applications" section on the website.

Besides this, you can install software with the apt-get-like system "slapt-get" and it's graphical front-end: GSlapt. It also contains src2pkg and sbopkg in case you want to compile something from source or existing SlackBuild Depfinder is included to find dependencies of packages. Click here for a guide on how to use those. I also managed to put development tools in there, like GCC, G++, svn, cvs, so on... This is a release candidate, and despite that it's OK for using. It has a bit more things to do until the release (like language selection on the boot menu), but I decided that it's important to put it here for testing.

General :: Gnome Panel "Create Launcher" Question - Bug Or Just Poor Design?

May 18, 2010

Gnome 2.30.0 (Ubuntu 10.04) I wish to create a launcher to a particular subdirectory.- right click on Panel and select Add to Panel- choose Custom Application Launcher- Set Type to Location- input desired NameNext to the Location text box is a Browse... button. I would expect to be able to browse to the subdirectory which I wish to access with my launcher. However, the Browse... button brings up a window which is titled "Choose a file..." and which will only "Open" a file, not a subdirectory.Is this a bug I should report or just an example of poor user interface design? If the latter, is the issue with the Create Launcher program (for bringing up a file locater) or with the File Locater program (which should have the option of selecting a location as well as a file?

Slackware :: Fonts For Gnome Apps In Std Slackware Install

Jan 4, 2011

I'm interested in seeing what others are doing w.r.t. fonts in a standard Slack install. The 2 main apps I use are Firefox and Thunderbird and both look fairly poor out of the box. Previously I've used a combination of gtk-qt-engine and gnome-appearance-properties ( with a gsb install ) but this doesn't always do the 'right thing'.

Slackware :: Can I Make KDE / Gnome Look Like Windows 7 In Slackware

Feb 26, 2010

You might be asking why would I want to this? I will tell you why. My wife. She has grown up using Windows. The jump from Windows XP to 7 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for her. I just had to show her where things changed to for about 10-20 minutes and that was that.

I did a trial run with Ubuntu for about a month using Gnome and not her cup of tea. So now I did a search on the Internet and came up with a Gnome solution here is the link:

http://aminesoft.wordpress.com/2009/...ike-windows-7/

And a KDE link:

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...content=104232

But both websites are oriented towards Ubuntu/Kubuntu. I am just wondering if this will work with Slackware???

My wife likes a speedy system almost as much as I do. She also like the Search field when you click on the Start menu in Windows 7, the taskbar at the bottom, the big red X in right hand corner of the windows.

I just hope I can go this route and change it to look like Windows 7. I will be very happy and so will my wife of course.

Software :: VLC As Root In Gnome

Oct 16, 2010

It is very well known that running VLC as root in KDE is easy: in the menu editor, in the Advanced tab, you check "Run as a different user", giving the name of the user in your system. Then VLC runs from root, playing everything placed inside the user's folders and everything placed in other hard disks (not root's disk though).
So far, so good.

Is there a possibility to run VLC as root in Gnome? I mean, without compiling the program myself with the option --enable-run-as-root. Is there any immediate method like in KDE?

Debian Installation :: Can't Boot As Root In Gnome?

Jul 15, 2010

I installed Debian 5.0.2 about a year ago, my first encounter with Debian and first serious look at Linux. I never got it right. Some software wouldn't work after installing. This week I decided to just start all over. I installed Debian 5.0.5 on a second disk. I seems to be better. Software that failed before works now!

Problem 1:
I ended up with two possible boot up choices in GRUB, but they both run 5.0.5 w/ Gnome. Why two? How do I know which to keep and how do I get rid of the other?

Problem 2:
Previously, I could boot into a command console by interrupting the normal boot. I don't get that chance now. It goes right to Gnome. I can't boot as root in Gnome. How do I get on as root?
