Ubuntu :: Can't Source Script In Launcher Script?
Jul 27, 2010
I've got a script, "setup", that sets some environment variables. I have another script, "launch", that launches a program for me. A launcher on my menu panel is set to run command "launch".Here's what the text of "launch" looks like:
source setup
export FOO=$VAR_FROM_SETUP
gui-program
If I run this from the launcher, the program sees an empty string for FOO.If I run it from a terminal, the program sees a correct value for FOO.Why the discrepancy?there a workaround that will allow a launcher to set variables via "setup"before running my program?

Whenever I compile Dreamcast games, I must source a certain .sh file before running make. I like to use the Netbeans IDE, so I must run these commands in a terminal
Code:
$ source environ.sh
$ "/usr/local/netbeans-6.9.1/bin/netbeans"
However, this forces me to run netbeans from the terminal when I'd like to run netbeans from a launcher or alt + f2. This method forces me to keep the terminal open when I run netbeans. The problem is, source is a shell builtin command and cannot be run from a launcher (as far as I know).

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.

How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

Is there any open source virtual machine so i can study the source in order to create my own? i'm gonna write my own, so it doesNT matter if license does not allow further development of the code.

We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

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?

I installed the new ubuntu with unity. I then used compizconfig to edit some stuff. I wanted the launcher to be in the bottom and always show.
However, after I did this i ended up with:

It seems as if I've really done myself in this time. I recently upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10.trouble (not showing titlebars after I had trie to enable the "desktop cube" feature) so I decided the best plan of action was to get rid of Compiz. That turned out to be a mistake. Now I have no launcher or taskbar, and since I'm somewhat, well, inept at this so far I have no idea how to get my desktop back in working order.e managed to install compiz and emerald once again, but I can't get to the startup application editor to make it run automatically. Is there a way to get the default desktop environment handler to kick back in?

I am trying to drag and drop the terminal into the launcher, but it doesn't show up when I let go of it.
And when terminal is open, it isn't showing up in the launcher either.
How can I fix this?

I made a shell script to launch dr. java that works fine, but when I try to make it a launcher, it does nothing. This is the script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
java -jar drjava-stable-20100913-r5287.jar;
Why is the launcher being difficult?
