I'm using Icecat (aka Gnuzilla a Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 ) When I select "open containing folder" it prompts "Choose an application" rather than defaulting it to the system's file management system (which in this case is Nautilus from Gnome desktop system).
Ubuntu 10.10 is the system I'm using. Does anyone know how to fix this so it will function normally?
How do I make an application launcher in the panel launch more than one application? Is there some sort of a symbol I type between the apps in the command line? Like ;
when an application is opened or minimized the icon of that particular application is not showing up in the top bar of ubuntu 11.04...how can i see the icons in the top bar?
I've downloaded VideoLan (VLC) via Yast but the icon was placed in the audio folder. How do I move it to the video player folder? Also, where are additional icons stored? I run SuSE 11.2 (boxed version) with KDE.
I am getting no packages listed in Gnome application manager gpk-application 2.27.2. I have tried 'yum clean all' and get the following error messages.
So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...
I have just added an additional 1 tb drive to my system. Before I upgrade to 10.04 which should i choose to put my /home folder on and which should contain my sytem files and backup folder:
I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. Starting from the beginnig. I installed Win7 Ultimate to my pc first. registered and updated bla bla.. then I divided into 3 partitions.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 on my computer alongside my Windows XP partition. However, on startup, my monitor displays "Video Mode Not Supported" which I assume is the Grub2 interface to choose my OS. Unfortunately, it keeps booting into Ubuntu, and I cannot change it. So, through the command line, I made the default OS on startup windows xp. But now I don't know know how to change back... Is there anyway I can change the display settings to be supported by my monitor (it's native resolution is 1440x900)Any help would be appreciated, Been using macs all my life, so I am a noob when it comes to Linux and Windows
I am trying to troubleshoot an application that is generating several segfaults with an error 14, but the application is not crashing.The program continues to run. I would assume I can connect to a running process to debug it, but I'm not sure what to gather. The program has several background processes associated with it so I'm sure I'll need to attach to the actual internal process. Does anyone have any experience in this to offer some insight?
Is there anyway to make it so I don't have to use it? And just use the regular one which shows what Os's to choose from, like on most Windows machines when you dual boot etc?
KPackageKit sometimes tell me there are packages to upgrade, and some are tagged as bugfixes, and some as security upgrades. Are there any ways to find out from the command line which packages are which? I'd like to only apply a certain class, automatic, without using KPackageKit. Using 'apt-get upgrade' I get a list of upgradeable packages, but no list of which class they are. Is there a way?
I'd like to choose correct linux-header.it could be that I don't haave appropriete drivers for my machine (don't know)it's true sound and video works but when it comes to gaming everything works soo slow and I get multy freezes from wine + "log out" problems with some games not like from windows (dual boot)now I saw some linux headers from synaptic.
Today I had this weird new icon appeared on my Cairo dock (The grey rectangular box sitting in the middle).Right click on it, choose whatever action, it just won't disappear
How do I choose a wireless network to connect to? The Ubuntu 8.10 help tells me to open NetworkManager, but the only thing I can find is 'Network Configuration' in System>Preferences. If I try to run NetworkManager in usr/sbin as a root, nothing happens whatsoever. nm-tool lists several available Access Points for my WiFi antenna.
I have three routers (linksys wrt54gl, ddwrt). I'm trying to use wds bridging, got two of them linked, but not the third. All three routers have the same SSID. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix.
My problem is I need to choose which of these my laptop connects to. Right now it connects to the one router which isn't playing nice with wds. I need it to connect to one of my other routers. I see the other signals using nm-tool, but they don't show in nm-applet. I created a connection in NetworkManager specifying the SSID + mac address of the correct router, but the tray applet doesn't show any options for connecting to manually configured networks, and I can't find any other useful app. I suppose I could rtfm for iwconfig et al, but Ubuntu ought to have an easier way.
This Ubuntu desktop has 3 network interfaces:LAN eth0: ip address 192.168.3.6 gateway 192.168.3.1VPN tun1: ip address 192.168.7.4 gateway 192.168.7.1VPN tun2: ip address 192.168.9.2 gateway 192.168.9.1For Chrome or Firefox, by default the 192.168.3.1 gateway is used.How do I change this such that:I can manually choose the 192.168.9.1 or 192.168.7.1 or 192.168.3.1 gateway.From the command line.Before running Firefox/Chrome.Without re-configuring any network interfaces.So that ONLY Firefox and Chrome browsers are affected
How do i choose a previous Kernel without a GRUB?? I have a netbook with only Ubuntu (UNR) installed so every time i update my kernel and so on i cannot see/choose the kernel version i want (i believe it enters the most recent one by default). Is there a way to do that without a grub or i have to install it even if i dont have a second OS?
I had an dualboot problem, after updating ubuntu to 10.04 my windows vista option in the grub of ubuntu was gone.Now I have installed windows 7.And the grub does not appear again, there is no grub at all.Now sombody told me I could fix or repair the boot record in windows 7.Does somone know how I can repair the grub in which I can choose between windows 7 and Ubuntu?
I am currently using Ubuntu Lucid on my desktop (stats are in my signature). I have an older computer, with an Intel i8xx chipset as my graphics card. This has had some instabilities on the previous two Ubuntu releases for me (10.04 and 9.10) which I am hoping will be fixed for Maverick, but thankfully the Ubuntu Wiki managed to provide me with fixes.
After much tweaking and some luck, I was able to get Ubuntu to work without constantly crashing on kernel versions 2.6.32-21, 2.6.32-22 and 2.6.32-23. Unfortunately, when 2.6.32-24 and 2.6.32-25 came out, I was unable to cease the crashes.
While I am still looking into tweaking the latest kernel version to work perfectly, I would like to know if there was a way for Ubuntu to default boot into a kernel other than the latest. This is because I want to run 2.6.32-23 by default (the latest kernel that I have tweaked properly) until I can configure 2.6.32-24 and 2.6.32-25 as well. I have less computer-savvy family members that use my desktop as well, and it would be a pain for them to have to press shift at every boot and have to select the correct kernel.
Iam facing difficulty with smaller text size in the latest release 10.10(owing to default Screen Resolution of 1440X900{16:10}).
Surprisingly, Iam not able to choose any other 'Resolution' & 'Refresh Rate'from the corresponding drop-down menus!?(Click on the drop-downs do not provoke any action!?)
Default 'Refresh Rate' is also set to 0Hz.'Rotation' as well is fixed to NORMAL only?
I have a good Asus monitor in which I can have a resolution of 1280x800 when using Mac Os (I have a Power Mac G4). However, when I try to have a better resolution with Ubuntu, the only resolution that it lets me choose is 800x600! There are no choices. I tried the "detect display" button but it doesn't change anything.
