Ubuntu :: Alt F2 - How To Add Program To List Of Shortcuts
Apr 24, 2010
I downloaded the latest Chromium build but to run it I have to go into its folder and click it, or I can type its full address ( /home/ubuntu/chrome-browser/chrome ). I want to be able to hit Alt-F2 and type just "chrome" How can I add the program to the list of shortcuts? Also I would like to disable the saving of history in Alt-F2
i accidently got rid of the panel on top, so i deleted the bottom one, and started a new one on the bottom. now whenever i open a program, there used to be a "list" of all the open program/windows on the bottom, now that is goneso once i minimize a program, the only way for me to get back to it is to press alt+tab.
Is there a CLI command or program that will list available wireless access points? I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop and sometimes I boot straight into the CLI instead of a GUI. I know iwconfig can configure a connection but will not list available AP's.
Is there a Linux program I can use to display random words from a list? By entering words in a spreadsheet and then sorting the list in alphabetical order, I made a list of new vocabulary words for myself to memorize, and wondered whether I could make random words from the list display on the screen daily. I know I could write a program to do that if I knew programming, but I don't.
I want to make a program that maintains a list of tags that can be attached to a set of files. Store the tags in the files. The main problem is that there is no way to get a list of all the tags without reading each and every file. And also what if you have an unused tag? Have a file that contains tag "keys" and file list "values". This seems like it would be fast and effective, but what if one of the files gets renamed?
I need to get names of all installed packages in 2 machines and save them in 2 text files, then I want to compare these 2 files to know the differences between 2 files and from that I could know the differences between 2 machines. Is it possible to do that and what program I could use?
Is it possible to list/find/compare the program versions on a Centos system, against Redhat/Centos Errata/Security/Bug lists? Sort of looking for a way to make sure that all the packages on a system are ok, and not a security risk-- Without having to update every package. A pseudo code, in my mind is:
I tried to change the basic toolbar to cairo dock,a tutorial that i found told me to write in terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.listso i write it and a window opened,i couled not find the text that told me(the tutorial i mean)so i closed the window,after that i keep taiking the same error
E: Type �sudo� is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
now whene i got in the winehq.list the text has gone and i take this error in update manager,my software center doesn't work and my terminal whenever i type sudo commands says
E: Type �sudo� is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
All I want is for my bootloader to show "Ubuntu" & "Windows XP" which are the only 2 OS's I have installed (dual booting). At the moment it shows Windows XP, Ubuntu, Ubuntu recovery mode & like 2 more.. which are also Ubuntu & recovery mode. I've never selected the other Ubuntu ones, only the first one. So, how can I remove the ones I don't want to show on the list.
There is a problem with my source list (apparently) I'm running 11.04 if that helps.When I try to use apt-get install update for example, I get: "Malformed line 59 in source list etc/apt/sources.list"The same error occurs when trying to access synaptic package manager, it tells me there is a malformed line and the list of sources cannot be read.This error prevents me from apt-getting anything, updating and i suspect it is affecting the software center too.
How would I list 4 users ID numbered 10, 11, 12 and 13 from my users list and output them to a file busers where their names are numbered by ascending order? How would I accomplish that on a one line command?
I am trying to get this script to work. The purpose is to download a list of modules from the slax.org the list consist of a list of module numbers. What I am trying to do is Download the file or the file name corresponding to the number in the list.the list is comma delimited. this is what I have done so far and I am a stand still.
#!/bin/sh # Wget script to retrieve modules from slax.org modules # # ----Begin of user defined values ----- # Path to wget
I understand there is a file that stores the repositories' information, but I can't find it!Is there a way I can create a list of what applications have been installed?The idea is that if I am running a backup, finding a way to save the repository list and applications installed so if I am upgrading, or fixing a borked system by re-installing Fedora, I could copy the repo list back, and run the applications list like ode:yum install <cat apps.txt?> and get all of the applications I've installed via Yum without having to remember them all?Is there anything else, outside of /home, I should look at backing up? SELinux settings?
I am working for a community where several people are engaged for 4 different development projects. we are planning to have a samba server to store our data.Now the problem is that I have created a share in which @groupa, @groupb and @groupc are allowed to read and write. But three of the members of @groupb are only allowed to for read permission only.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 (with Gnome) and everything went smoothly. Very nice. Now I'm trying to add some additional keyboard shortcuts, but the new ones I add don't work. I can change the keybindings for existing shortcuts (for example, I changed goto workspace 1 to Alt+1 and this works), but I can't add a new shortcut. Specifically, I'm trying to make Alt+F1..F4 move current window to workspace 1..4 but this won't work. Nothing happens when I press the shortcut. Same problem if I try to add a shortcut to any other command that didn't already have one.
I'm a xubuntu 10.04 user and i recently tried to create a keyboard shortcut to launch the Terminal. I went into Settings -> Xfce Settings Manager -> keyboard
I chose the "application shortcut" tab and there I realized that the "add" function behaves very strangely.
A window pops upp with a text entry that lets me add a command name, but nothing to enter the shortcut's name. Anyhow, whatever I write in there, the window closes when I enter OK and nothing more happens.
I also tried to change the shortcuts from the Window Manager and nothing can be edited there either.
I'm trying to set a shortcut using the pipe key ("|", this one...) like "<Ctrl>|" and no luck. Is there any special way to set this like <Ctrl><Pipe> or <Ctrl>|| or something?
I'm using 11.04 with Ubuntu Classic. I can not ALT+Tab anymore, or use any of the Super shortcuts. I did not upgrade. I used clean install. I can't use any Super key shortcuts either. In 10.10 I could use Super + A to show all windows, it was really handy, now I can't. I have Compiz enabled and everything, along with the advanced config program. Where do I go to enable these features (if they are even in Natty at all?) I have Expose and Desktop Wall module of Compiz enabled, by the way. Strangely enough, it does work in Unity now, I don't know why. It does not work in Ubuntu Classic.
Not sure if it's something I did/didn't do but when I click in the upper left corner to bring up the menu (with Media Apps, Internet Apps, More Apps & Find Files) clicking on any of those doesn't prompt a response, no error is given either. When I type in the top bar something such as Terminal it doesn't do anything (although I can still get to Terminal with ctrl+alt+t).
yesterday I was moving some launchers in the menu editor, going a bit too fast, and I accidentally hit delete on the "Internet" menu. In an attempt to get it back, I deleted ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.gconf/apps/panel, assuming they'd be automatically replaced. I ran the updater today and it updated gnome-panel, so I $ killall gnome-panel 'd just in case, and once again nothing. I have all the custom launchers from ~/.local/share/applications saved onto my desktop, but right now I need all the original launchers back. I don't even have the software management launcher! It just shows me a little tiny black stripe because it's completely empty. BTW, I'm running Lucid 64.
