Ubuntu :: Configuring Terminator And DevilsPie Sorted
Jun 13, 2010
I'm trying (well aiming) to customize my desktop so that on login Terminator is on workspace 3 (split 3 ways and running lynx, irssi and top. I'm using gdevilspie to configure it but I understand and can use the normal config files. When I use gdevilspie to make a terminal background it works but when i try to do stuff with terminator it doesn't.
Here's my terminator config so far:
Code:
( if
( begin
( is ( window_class ) "terminator" )
)
( begin
( undecorate )
( spawn_sync "top" )
( set_workspace 3 )
( maximize_horizontally )
( center )
( below )
( set_viewport 3 )
( println "match" )
) )
Once I do get devilspie sorted I also want to make Terminator automatically split and run the correct commands.

I have 2 1680x1050 monitors at work set in Twinview. What I'd like to do is have tsclient open a full screen on one of the monitors leaving the other screen free for local apps (IM, Chrome, email etc).If I set tsclient t "Operate in full Screen Mode" it takes over both monitors and there is no 1680x1050 option under "Use Specified Screen Size"I've used Devilspie in the past to do similar things, so I installed it and built the following config (Ok, I used gdevilspie ):
Code:

I have a working trans.ds file and installed devilspie.It runs great, but the stickler is that if I "click off" or change application focus, I no longer can get the focus back to the terminal.The terminal window is responsive other than that.I can open a new tab, but I get no focus there either.Here's the trans.ds code
Code:
; generated_rule trans

I installed gDevilspie and am using that to configure it, and I have Compiz running with a 2x2 viewport layout (2 horizontal and 2 vertical viewports).I have Devilspie working beautifully for any application that is assigned to either viewport 1 or 2. However, if I try to set them to viewports 3 or 4, the viewports on the bottom, Devilspie does not do anything.Devilspie does not give me any errors when I run it from the terminal. What I've noticed is that it only seems to work with horizontal viewports. I changed the viewport layout from 2x2 to 4x1 (so they were all on a single row), and then setting viewports 3 and 4 worked beautifully. However, with a 2x2 layout, I can only use viewports 1 and 2.
Furthermore, I noticed that if I had an application set to, say, viewport 1 (e.g., Firefox), then it would open in viewport 3 if I was currently viewing viewport 4. In other words, it's treating my viewports as if I have two sets of viewport 1 and viewport 2; one set on the top row, and the second on the bottom row.I'm not sure what's causing this, or if there's some sort of trickery that needs to be done to make the bottom row of viewports work, but any help would be appreciated.In case it's needed, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, devilspie 0.22, gdevilspie 0.5, and compiz 0.8.6. Pasted below is one of the problem scripts (note that if I were to set it to viewport 1 or 2, it would work fine).
Code:
; generated_rule XChat

I know "rpm -qa --last" lists all rpm with date and time. But I want to sort the list by date, with earlier installed rpms displayed ahead. So it needs pipe, ie something like "rpm -qa --last | ...". What is exact script to do it?

I frequently receive e-mail from mailing lists in which I would like to stay active in, although when I access my e-mail I'd like to be able to have the unimportant e-mails in their specific IMAP-folders so I can read them later when I have time.
There is one very important requirement. It bugs me that people continuously keep advising me poor solutions that involve forwarding e-mail e.g. to blabla-mailinglist@domein.tld or storing the e-mail locally. I work frequently from different locations, use different e-mail accounts and see e-mail stored on the server rather than on my local machine as a great advantage.c.
I was thinking of preferably a simple solution that works via a cronjob to do sorting, so it will also work for Plesk and Gmail IMAP accounts. Sorting based on from/to/subject should be sufficient.

I wanted to read out the absolute file-path (filename) as sorted in a folder (on Linux). The reading the file-paths is ok but I have problems in sorting.
Code:
selectedDirectory = fl_dir_chooser ("Select Imagedirectory:",NULL,0); //This is just a widget to show the folder.
DIR *d;
dirent *de;
[code]....
The files -105.dcm, -106.dcm, -107.dcm lie in the folder at the bottom and -36.dcm, -37.dcm- at the top. The program compares 1 and 3 of 105 and 37, 1 is lesser than 3, then prints out first, but does not know that 105 is three digits and 37 is two digits.

I like the features of Terminator very much. It save my time. But on 2.6.31-gentoo-r10, I got a little problem: after typing 'exit', the system echo 'exit' and hang at with a mouse cursor (can't type anything):
Code:

I need to read a binary file using my C++ application. That binary file may contain arbitary characters and it also contains 0 at some places. I need to read the file without considering null terminating character. (i.e. considering 0 as a normal byte and not as the end of the string)Can some one suggest me a method to read the buffer while ignoring the null terminated character.

I'm trying to make a shell script that will list the 50 newest files in a directory with several subdirectories in. I've been trying with the find-command with no luck and now I've figured I should probably use ls. The problem is when I do "ls -lRt | head -50" it will do 1 directory at the time. It will not first make the full list and then sort it. This will display all items in first directory, sorted, then the newest directory will be sorted and displayed. So I figured I have to sort the whole process of ls before I limit the head. So this is where I am at now: ls -lRt | sort <something clever here> | head -50
Only doing a "|sort|" will sort it by name if I understand it right and I don't know how to solve it. Here's also my first attempt if that is of any interrest or help, this was limited by the change status time of files (so some lists got very large). These lists dit not get sorted by time and I could not find any way to do so.find $ftpDir -ctime $time -type f -print > $ftpFileLsAny help on this would be appreciated since I'm sort of stuck now. After reading manuals for all the options I can think of and still there's just a big blur in my head..

No, not Arnold S.I'm talking about the one from slackbuilds.org. It's not just another terminal emulator. It's got a cool feature of broadcasting the input to all (or selected windows). If it's a well known and used feature, than I'm sorry. I read about it a couple of days ago and soon it proved a big time-saver.
As all my systems are almost identical (selection of software, /home/ directory structure, program configuration, etc) I used terminator to set up my new shiny Slackware64 13.1 systems.The 'broadcast' function of terminator mirrors your input to other terminator windows (ssh sessions to other machines). That way I didn't have to configure it three times on three computers. I know that one can write a script to automate most of things, but sometimes there are interactive steps which would not work in a script.
It was especially useful in:
1. using sbopkg (3 simultaneous instances doing exactly the same thing on different systems )
2. general configuration
3. setting up bookmarks in emacs
4. Creating some scripts that aren't there by default (eg. /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown)
I can imagine how useful it can be for administering a number of machines.

I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my Dell inspiron 1318. All works really well, however my only only problem with the setup is the boot selection screen. Is there a way to put Vindoz in the first spot instead of Ubuntu? I use them about 50-50 of the time but would still prefer windows as default because my wife uses that with her accounting software and she goes nuts when she turns it on and it goes to Linux.

I am trying to configure my wireless network on my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 and am having a bit of difficulty. I am a complete Linux newb, but want to learn it, hence the reason I'm trying to set this up. Here's the vitals:It is a Gateway 600 YG2 laptop. It was previously running Windows XP, but I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in place of it (not a dual boot, I removed XP altogether).I have an old wireless card that I'm trying to resurrect. I haven't really used the card in a couple years, but it seems to still work, I just can't connect to my home's wireless network. The card is a Linksys WPC11 v2.5. When I plug it in, Ubuntu recognizes the network, but won't connect to it. My home network uses WPA encryption and the only connection type that Ubuntu's network manager is giving me is WEP and then it asks for a key -- I have no idea what that key should be.
So, basically, I'm asking, is there a way I can instead connect through WPA? I've tried creating a new connection in network manager, but that won't work, it keeps falling back to the WEP connection and asking me for a key. I have tried to install the XP driver using ndiswrapper but I don't know if that's working or not. Is there a way to tell if:A) the card is working as it shouldB) the correct drivers are installed (again, I installed the XP one using ndiswrapper NET8180.INF, but I'm not sure what to do next)

I am experiencing trouble configuring suPHP on my Ubuntu 8.04 web server. I've googled around quite a bit and the general consensus is that you first disable php5, then install the suphp module (I did that from the repo). I configured one of my Vhosts to use suPHP_UserGroup, but I get the following error:
Invalid command 'suPHP_UserGroup', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
I know the module is loaded, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. Is a Vhost the right place for this setting? Note that I installed from the repository instead of compiling from source if that makes any difference. Any insight on this issue? I can provide configuration files if need be.
Edit: After some extended googling, from what I understand I have to recompile suPHP using the 'paranoid' mode. Am I correct?

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I just got a Linksys WRH54G wireless router. I want to protect my wireless connection by putting a password to it but when I enter the Router's default IP address (192.168.1.1) into my browser to open the 'Utility Welcome screen', the browser does not respond.
According to the Router's manual this is because PC' TCP-IP is not set to automatically obtain the IP address.

I would like the calender to boot come on the screen with only the month ctrl 3 and the contact/control panel on the left.
I do not want the Event or Task areas to show. I don't use them that much and there are buttons to call them if I do need to make notes.
I only want the numbered squares and buttons/icons to be displayed.
I've dug here:
/home/dave/.gconf/apps/evolution/calendar/display/%gconf.xml
.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics
/home/dave/.gconf/apps/evolution/calendar/%gconf.xml
I would like this to be a permanent feature when I call it from my task tray.
