Software :: Cant Find To Run Dosbox In Any Of The Menus Or From Terminal?
Jul 31, 2010
i'm running slackware 13.0. i've installed dosbox package and the installation process showed no errors,but now i cant find how to run dosbox in any of the menus or from terminal.
when i was about to install turbo c using dosbox in ubuntu on the console i typed the commandas sudo apt-get install dosbox the error occured as E:couldnt find the package dosbox
I have the C drive were dosbox is mounted. I have 3 hard drives, C, D, and E. D I use for storage and quick refrence, E hd has all my games on it. I have figured out how to mount the 2nd hard drive. But dosbox doesn't recognize any directory other then the directory that dosbox is in.
I am attempting to setup and old BBSinside of DosBOXI've built one of the DosBOX Megabuilds, with the NE2000 patch.It uses libpcap in order to piggy back on top of the system's NIC. All of the dosbox side appears to be working.My system comes up, gets the MAC address i told it to use, i can load a packet driver in dosbox, all of that seems well and good. The issue, i think, is on the linux side. It's built on a Fedora 14 box. I'm getting the feeling that networking isnt getting out of the dosbox instance. Does it seem possible that fedora needs to have some config in place to link networking over to dosbox?
I was wondering if there was a bash command or something that would probe an application to maybe list the GUI menus (arguments) you could input to the application. This would also be interesting for CLI.
Let's say there was not a manual page for a bash command (options) and you wanted a "tire on the road" proof and not just recall something that is assumed to be correct or you did not want to click here there and e very where to see if a menu opened for a GUI?
I assume that this process could also work on the source code by searching for a input type of command.
This is just something I though would be a helpful hack type of thing and I'm not involved in a project for this type of functionallity. It's a shame that GUIs dont always list what they are capable of.
I install some package, I don't know what and now my menu file of all gnome-terminal, nautilus its not show, someone know what is the packet to do this? The firefox have menu ok, only the applications like gnome-terminal hide the menu.
I've basically gone and messed up my entire desktop. The curious (idiotic) me was experimenting with the desktop, and went and somehow deleted all the panels. After 3 days of frustration, I've been unable to recover any form of menu or panel. So far, I've tried restoring the defaults from the terminal. Unfortunately, I can't open a terminal window. I can run it using Ctrl+Alt+F2, but it refuses to open any windows or run any programs. Most commands give me some form of 'cannot open display.' I can't minimize windows without losing them so my workspace is a mess, I can't run nautilus as root so I can't access Synaptic, and the list basically goes on and on.
I wondered about my Firewall settings (installed F15 a few days ago) and realize I can't find the Firewall in any menus (Gnome3).I seem to recall that in Fedora 13, there was a "System" menu either after Applications, or after Places.Choosing Applications, System Tools, System Settings still shows no Firewall choice.
I just installed ubiquity for ubuntu 9.10 via the terminal.Code:apt-get install ubiquity.Every thing went fine, no installation errors but I can't seem to find the icon in any of the menus. Any idea how I could get an icon there or is ubiquity a command line only program?
what are the main menus available in gnome and where can i find them. I am a fan of openSUSE but i dislike its menu coz it doesnot have more applications displayed within the menu(opens a new window instead) So can nyone tell me where can i find gnome main menus especially the mint menu?
I finally bought marble blast gold. a very cool game. i was able to run it on my mac perfectly fine. but now when i install in on my ubuntu machine its not doing what its supposed to. i did a ./MarbleBlastGold 1.4.1.sh.bin after doing the sudo -i command. it installs just fine. but when i go to run the game, i cant find it in the menus. thats ok, i have commend line experience. so i cd to the install folder, and run a ./marbleblastgold, and this is the error i get. so what can i do, and what does this mean? good thing i bought it for all my computers. one copy of course.
I have the current version of dosbox installed, and I'd like to install version .73 as well and have both installed simultaneously.Is this possible and how can I do this?
how do I create a launcher for an application using DosBox? I tried in Alacarte, but it does not show up. I did this both as root and as user.Disregard. It did create the launchers. It just put them in "Other" even though I told it to create them in "Internet" so they are there, but just not where I want them. That is okay since now I can add them to my favorites and put them in the order I want.
I guess I will like Gnome 3 better as I find tweaks to make it work like I want it to work. Still though, it is not nearly as user friendly as my heavily tweaked Gnome 2 with Compiz.Another question though: How do I get it to select and use a photo I want for the background instead of the stock images? It is annoying as all get-out to have the screen turn to grey rather than stay the way I want it. :
I have debian 5 installed on a laptop. I am trying to install maxthink on this computer (according to some people here it is the best software after slackware )I tried to install maxthink on wine (debian default) it complains about some version conflicts and finally gives an error'c:windowssystem32Tlist7.ocx' not being registered. tried dosbox.With dosbox while running the application it tells me that'this program cannot be run in dos mode'.After about a week of tweaking things I still have no solution
I am trying to mount dosbox on a share on a remote computer. I did it in Win XP without any troubles. In Ubuntu it does n't work.
First I made the map in media and connected the share. The share works fine, but I cann't mount DOSBOX. Then I put the share in the /home/user directory. Share works fine! But dosbox does not mount.
I am trying to run Dosbox on 9.10, and both the Software Centre isntallation, aswell as DBGL's included version of Dosbox load the splash screen, then promply quit. I have had success with previous ubuntu versions, and am wondering why I can't get any further on the new version?
Trying to compile DOSbox version 0.70. Apparently this is the only version that can run Privateer flawlessly.Problem is, when I extract the source and try to './configure', I get an error that SDL 1.2 is not installed.
Code: anthony@anthony-1010:~/Games/DOS/dosbox-0.70$ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

Can i mount the turboc permanantly throught dosbox, that means whenever i clicked dosbox,turboc starts automatically
I'm currently running openSuSE 11.4 (kde v 4.6.4), and after unlocking the mouse cursor from the DOSBox (v 0.74) window, none of the Plasma Desktop Widgets or Components will register mouse clicks until I reboot.
Is there something config-wise I might change to prevent this from happening, or is there an otherwise quick way to restart only plasma using the terminal? Yakuake still drops down, and works, fortunately, so doing this is not a problem.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that all of said applications were installed from openSuSE repos using YaST2.
I have installed Open Suse 11.3, after giving up on Ubuntu when the latest version would not connect to the internet. In Ubuntu I could always open a terminal to carry out any command line task. In Suse I simply cannot even find one.
I need to find a terminal that I can run in Root in order to load some firmware for a different network adapter, as I am currently using one borrowed from another computer.
I'd like to find all files of a specific type (as determined by the terminal "file" command) from the command line ... and haven't been able to figure out a way to do so. For instance, I'd like to be able to find all JPEG files in my filesystem, even if their names don't end in .jp*. It would be helpful to be able to combine this with other tests in find, so that I could type something like "sudo find / -atime 0 -size +1M -type adobeflash" or something like that.
I've looked for ways to hook find up to file and tinkered around with a few ideas involving pipes, but nothing seems to get what I want.
I've just installed Zorin 64 bit and want to make some changes and install some new packages using apt-get but i've been through the whole start menu and can't find a terminal.
Is there any way to find what is displaying in a terminal in C language?
I want to automate ssh login process, I know that I can use "expect" but I want to write another program in C myself.
In first ssh try to a host, ssh prints a message like this:
Quote:
The authenticity of host '192.168.30.1 (192.168.30.1)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is **** Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
and waits for an answer. I want to enter "yes" programatically when the message appears, but I don't know how to find if the message is appeared or not. In this case problem can be solved in another way, deleting the entry of the host from ~/.ssh/known_hosts before executing the ssh command, sleeping for one or two second and entering yes. Same problem exist for password prompt and this can be solved by sleeping, too.
But it is not a general solution and can be failed if prompts appear after entering required keys.
I have found KRename to be very useful for bulk find and renames; however, I'd like to do a find a copy, which KRename doesn't appear to do.
For example, I'd like to (case insensitively) search all subdirectories for files called "cover.jpg", "cover.gif", or "cover.png" and create a copy of these called "thumb.xxx", in the same subdirectory the original is found, with the same extension as the original.
I like to do a lot of my tasks through the command line, and was wondering, is there a way to see all the wireless networks available in the terminal? I tried 'iwlist scan', and it said all the interfaces do not support scanning. Is there anything I can do?
