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.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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.

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 7 Replies View Relatedyesterday 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.
