I am having a small issue with how Ubuntu displays my files. In Windows 7, I typically view my files in the "list format." In Windows 7, when in that format, it displays the entire file name of my files. In Ubuntu, "compact view" is the same format as "list" from Windows 7. The only difference is, it does not show the entire filename. Kansas - Carry on my Wayward son.mp3 for example, is viewed as Kansas - Carry on m... This is really not a big deal. And I get it, compact means compact. I can just use Ubuntu's "List View" to see the entire file names of files. But that's not my preferred way of viewing files. I was wondering if there was a way to make "compact view" show the entire file of my files.
In gnome 2 we had the option in gconf-editor to use a compact layout when displaying icons in nautilus, it was essential to browse pictures, otherwise the thumbnails are spaced way too wide for nothing and you can't get enough of them in a screen.the option is not there in dconf, can we set it somewhere else?
Recently I came across a video I wanted to see from Veoh and you only get 5 minutes preview unless you install the veoh web player.. and guess what.. its for windows only! I heard its working under wine.
Anyway, after some looking around and trying different scripts and programs, the only thing that worked for me was a firefox extension (which unfortunately requires registration - which fortunately takes really 5 seconds. No e-mail confirmations etc. - and unfortunately has a website FULL of ads and pop ups! I hope they dont start asking for money soon). So, the extension is [URL] I dont know if you can install it from addons.mozilla.org . I logged in yet found no install button.. had to go to developers website.
No matter what app I use, if I view a window at full screen, the contents of the window are white instead of displaying the content. I have to re-size the window smaller in order to see the contents of a window. What can be causing this and how do I fix it?
I am using a HP laptop running 11.04 in Classic mode.
What I mean is I'd like to watch stuff in its original size but with the rest of the screen black, the way it is in full screen view (but I don't want it zoomed). RealPlayer calls this option "theatre view". Is there a line I can put into terminal? I tried
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
and changing commenting in zoom=yes and changing it to zoom=no. Made no difference.
I have this problem that is every time I'm watching something in Full screen and try to lower or raise the volume using the volume scroll on the laptop (Toshiba Satellite if it matters) it minimizes the view. I'm using Fedora 12
What I'm trying to do is wget images, however, I'm not sure how to do it 100% right. What I've got is a index.html page that has images (thumbs) that link to the full size images. How do I grab the full size images?
Example of links on the page: <a href="images/*random numbers*.jpg" target="_blank"><img border=0 width=112 height=150 src="images/tn_*random numbers*.jpg" style="position:relative;left:3px;top:3px" /></a>
I tried: wget -A.jpg -r -l1 -np URLHERE but only got the thumbs.

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and Brasero Disc Burner to burn .iso's (NON-ILLEGALLY. I'm burning linux distros on them.) . I'm using Sony DVD-R's that on the disk say 4.7 GB, but it says 3.7 on Brasero.
i have a problem with ps, and pgrep when used in a script. with the -A option it does not print all processes and pgrep on a known running process returns nothing. So I made a script with nothing but "ps -A" and the shebang and it does show all of them. Also, ps -A on the command line is showing all processes. I am running this script as root and it is owned by root.edit: I have ps -A in a function called in a case and if I put ps -A outside the function and case it shows all. how is where it's at changing it's output
Sam and I are going to the fair on sunday around 2 if anyone wants to join us. Lets get some deep fried butter.As you can see the first message is cut off in the last message, it just says Sam... no plus sign or anything for me to be able to view the whole message including everything that was said throughout multiple emails. This happens to every single one of my emails, if someone replied again to this the original message just would no longer be on the email at all and I'd have to search it out in previous emails which is a pain.
I'm currently running Testing/Sid on my machine with Fluxbox as my window manager.Yesterday I noticed that I was not getting full output from commands using lxterminal.First off I tried another terminal,which was the xfce4-terminal.The result being exactly the same,missing output.I have also tried re-generating my xorg.conf,and yes you guessed it no change.Getting desperate I also tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup,still missing output from lxterminal.So to sum up why do I get the full output with xterm but not lxterminal which I have been using previously for some time.
I've installed ethernet adapter, it is made in china from a manufacturer called FOX. The driver for that adapter is supported for sco linux kernel version 2.4.x and 2.5.x .However, I'm using Centos5 but the OS didn't recognize the adapter alone, so I'm trying to follo instructions on the driver on the attached CD.
The CD contains file named "SC92031.c", the instructions tell me to do the following "Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o"
Trying the various settings (and noticing ubuntu gnome users recently had the same exact OPPOSITE problem -- they can't SHOW hidden files in dolphin) to hide my hidden files in dolphin is not working. The settings are saved OK, but those damn (ending in tilde, ie "~") files do NOT ever hide! I even see the correct little green recycling symbol on them, indicating they're identified as such, but no actual hiding goes on..
Nautilus, which I've used before (but have grown tired of, and was looking forward to dolphin), also has a weird issue that seems to have appeared with FC13 (I'd been using FC12 'til now mostly because of this) - there's no way (AFAIK) to tell it to show the location; to see it, you have to click Go->Location each time. Previously I could set it to print out the whole file or server path and it would stay that way when I opened new windows.. This is on fresh install & update.. kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64.
How can we convert a dynamic library (filename.so) to a static library (filename.a) using gnu gcc . Can we get a static library form a dynamic library . I saw a few post in which the conversion form a static library to a dynamic library is mentioned but, unfortunately, not the other way.
I have a project were I have been trying to use Compact Flash (CF Card) was a Ubuntu system drive, but can't seem to successful partition it. I can partition without error, but I go back into the partition tool it gives usually a cryptic error about the partitions. They won't format either. For example Gparted puts orange triangles next to each partition. cfdisk says partition exceeds cylinder boundary. I've tried three different computer, two different CF to IDE adapters (a laptop and desktop type) and four different models/brands of CF cards all are supposed to fixed disk IDE compatible. My theory is the drive geometry is not being detected correctly, or maybe a sector alignment issue. I've tried GUID partitions too and it doesn't help. How do I correctly partition a CF card?
I'd like to have a list of changes from default install or installed packages, and modified configs in order not to to waste space on binaries. This way, when restoring the script can just check if the packages are there, do configs match, and adjust accordingly.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 to a Compact Flash card. It's not going very well. I have a 4GB USB drive that I want to install from. I can boot from this USB drive and get into either Ubuntu itself or the installation program only. Either way, I've tried to install it.
My Sandisk Extreme IV 4GB 45MB/s compact flash card is detected in my BIOS and shows up during the installation as well. Whenever I try to finalize and start the installation it gets to 15% and then gives an error on how it can't mount the file system.
I've tried every file system available. Funny thing is, I can use gparted to format the card to ext2. It then shows up on the desktop as a drive. If I go into that drive, there's a folder called lost+found. If I try to enter that folder it complains about permissions.
Is there any special trick to installing onto a compact flash card? I've tried with every file system available, with and without a swap file partition as well. I have quite scarce experience with Ubuntu and Linux in general so this is incredibly hard. But I wont give up that easily!
Second thought: If I can't get this working, would it be just as OK to run it as a "live" distro on the CF card? The motherboard is an Intel D945GSEJT. Using 1 gig ram.
I just got an 8 gig compact flash card for my SLR camera. When I open the card (using a card reader) in Nautilus (Ubuntu 10.04) it will only list about 1024 files and not the rest. It does not provide any warnings so one could easily think all files have been copied when in fact they haven't. This could be a real issue if the user does not notice. Using another app called rapid photo downloader in Ubuntu does not seem to list/preview all the files either. I dual boot to win xp 32 bit and I can see all the photos and can copy them to the harddrive without any issues so I don't think it is hardware related. How to get Nautilus to allow the copy of all files?
What is 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact package' Is this a JDK or just JRE?
I want to remove 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact' package and install sun's JDK1.6. But lots of other packages depends on 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact'. How should I go ahead.
I need to install an aplication to several machines. The aplication runs on a Debian and the installation process is done with a usb. I'm using a plop live usb to perform the installation. I've seen that with plop , once the live system is on, i can run some scripts.
What I'm trying to do is:
->format the target device (a 4G compact flash). ->mount the formatted device. ->untar my debian.tar.gz in that device. After rebooting, the system never boots. Using a live CD and invoking "fdisk -lu" :
Buffalo Nfiniti N-Compact USB 2.0 not working on Fedora 14. I have found this link with instruction [URL] but after I did what it was written, F14 still not recognizing the USB wireless adapter, so I cannot use internet on the Lenovo X201 (Which has an intel on board card, but there is no linux driver supporting it, that is why I got the Buffalo adapter)Interestingly that when I use the command lsusb in the terminal, it does give me back info of the adapter and it seems it recognize it. But I was not sure.
Making a live CD using tools such as livecd-creator seems like a good solution to create a bootable read-only image to install on Compact Flash. My goal is to prevent failure due to write cycle limits of Compact Flash memory. A secondary goal is to have the live CD available for troubleshooting. However, Usenet postings indicate challenges in making the live CD image on CF bootable. Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
I have never worked with Linux before but as part of my new job I need to format and install a program on a compact flash card. I have followed our procedure to the T but when i install the card I get a No bootable partition error. Here is what I'm doing. I go into Gnome terminal and change to my directory to "cd dcmsetupdir" (this may not be important but I want to give as much info as I can. Then I type "sudo ./format_cf". once this is complete (no errors detected), I type in "sudo ./install_cf" this seems to install correctly but when I boot up the unit with the card in I get the no bootable partition error.
