I wrote a shell script and tried to execute it in separate terminal using command 'gnome-terminal -e <script>'. When executing first time, it went fine.From second time, I am getting error 'There is error creating child process for this terminal' repeatedly.
View 5 RepliesI have a bash script that launches an application of mine through a gnome terminal with the following command:gnome-terminal -x MyApplicationIf MyApplication launches correctly, a GUI is displayed. If it fails to launch correctly, it reports errors to stdout (the terminal).
My problem is, the terminal immediately exits when MyApplication exits, leaving no time to see the error messages if MyApplication fails to launch.You can also see this behavior by trying:gnome-terminal -x lsThe gnome terminal immediately exits.Is there a way to stop this behavior? I want the terminal to remain until I close it.

I use a Dell inspiron 1525, with windows 7 and fedora 8 in dual boot. Ihave broadcom 4310 wireless card to use.. how ever i could not activate my wireless.. so i guess this the right place where i can get a solution to the problem. After installing the ndsiwrapper by yum, i tried to execute the command ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf This returns with an error couldn't open bcmw15.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219.

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

I'd like to make a launcher that starts irssi in gnome-terminal with just one click.
I guess something like:
gnome-terminal -execute "irssi"
but without it closing down as soon as irssi is run
I just started using gnome-do, and it is an awesome little bit of software. Far superior to the standard application menu. Strangely, though, I just can't figure out how to run a terminal command from it without opening the terminal first. In the standard application menu, I can just type, for example "pkill MisbehavingProgramX" to kill a program, but in gnome-do, if I try that it searches all my stuff and typically comes up with nothing except a few webpages that I've visited that my have some of those letters in it. how to just run a bash command directly from gnome-do?

After a fresh boot of a Live CD, how do I use the gconftool command to edit:
Code:
/root/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/%gconf.xml

I tried:
Code:

mint mint # gconftool --load /media/scripts/gconf/gnome-terminal/custom.xml
mint mint # gnome-terminal
No changes were made after I opened a new gnome-terminal. It works fine if I'm not in superuser mode and makes the changes to

Out of X I have auto-completion for a command parameter (e.g. 'aptitude upd(ate)') but in gnome-terminal I have auto-completion only for the command, not for its parameters. Is it possible to have that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently replaced (fresh install) Fedora 12 by 13. Surprisingly I noticed there is no log-in sound for Gnome and also when I use command line terminal there is no terminal bell in spite of the fact that I checked the "Terminal Bell" option in the EDIT --> Preferences menu! I checked the speakers are not mute, I can play music. Any idea how to fix it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to have a script (tcsh/bash/python) that launches a bunch of gnome-terminals (or 1 with multiple tabs). And I want it to execute a command, but keep the shell interactive. Currently, if you type gnome-terminal then it launches a new interactive shell, but if you give it the execute flag, then it executes the command and quits (or stays open, but non-interactive depending on the users gnome-terminal settings).
I have this command which I want to run automatically before I start working. What the command does is dynamic and different for each shell. It takes arguments. So it's not something I can take care of in a .cshrc type file.
Since upgrading ubuntu boots to a prompt rather than logging into gnome. has anyone run into this? what can I do to fix this?

View 1 Replies View Relatedso the safest way to go about this is to assume I know nothing. I mean, I have a rough Idea of what a kernel is, no idea what a shell is, etc. I do consider myself computer savvy, but know NOTHING about linux and thats why I'm Diving in, hopefully not too much, this is just to give you an idea of what we're working with here.
After several install attempts I kept getting a blank screen. Whether it be black,white, or the default gnome desktop (without any icons, and simple things like ctrl+alt+backspace just doesn't work, or anything else for that matter) I was ending up with a blank screen. Driver for moniter....maybe....but I did succesfully install it once, and it worked like a charm...shutdown properly, and the next day after work...Boom, same thing after startup.today I started from scratch and re-installed....samething, until I hit the power button, went from the dvd(iso) and did a fail safe, now my resolution is much better than it was the first time..Actual questions.....what did I do to fix it when failsafe never worked before?
Is there a way to save these settings, so I don't run into the problem again, because I don't even want to turn of my computer at this point?If i'm trying to dive in and learn the command line actions, is there any substancial difference between gnome terminal or hitting "c" to bring up the command line?
Does anyone know of some things I can check to find the root cause behind this error? I pulled startupmanager via apt-get, and I get an error when I try to launch the startupmanager executable from a terminal in Gnome.

I have recently updated my GNOME installation from 3.x to 3.14. Suddenly, there are many glitches. The power buttons on the power menu does nothing, I am forced to shut down via the terminal, everything goes black every now and again, and there is a weird colour pattern behind some icons when I hover over them. But most importantly, the icons and text do not show up on the "Activities -> Show Applications -> All" menu. They still there, as you can see the opening animation before they disappear, and I can click on them, but you just can't see them. The "Frequent" menu works fine. Here is a YouTube video I have made to explain my problem.

I did change the icons, but this was after these problems started happening, and so it should be un-related.
I wrote bash script that uses zenity and a choice to install various programs, tested it and it works, but only when I call it from terminal. I wanted to add it in gnome main menu. The script is /home/eee/zenity.sh. In accessories I added an entry with command:
Code:
/home/eee/zenity.sh
, but since there is no terminal it starts zenity, but it does not work. I have also tried
Code:
gksu gnome-terminal -x /home/eee/zenity.sh

I have a php file that I need to execute via a cronjob. This file should be run by the www-data user as its a file in my /var/www/project folder. When I run this file under root (php -f cron.php) everything works perfectly, but I want it to run under the www-data to be safe. Before I run it vai crontab I tried it via command line as the www-data user and I receive errors:
Fatal Error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes expired (tried to allocate 232 bytes).
But when I run it as the root user I get no errors and everything works correctly. The file cron.php is used to process automated tasks in my CRM. So I don't really want to have the root user running a crontab every few minutes for this.
Must the www-data user be given more permissions? I am using Ubuntu 6.06LTS
PHP - 5.1.2
Apache - 2.0.55
MySQL - 5.0.22
I was just curious if cron had to be enabled before use. i have a crontab, and the cron daemon is running, but the command isn't executing...
