I use gedit for most of my document editing and reading. But if I need to open a document thats in either the rtf or doc format, I end up having to open up OpenOffice (which takes a while on a netbook). Not to mention I have to use up precious disk space with OO.o installed. So I ask, is there anyway to add support for those two documents types?
View 5 RepliesI've been trying to extend gedit with a syntax highlighting capability for GAMS (http:url....). I googled about it and could only find it for vim and I didn't quite like it.Here's what I've done:
(1) I created a file "gams.lang" and placed it in "/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/"
(2) I created a file "gams.xml" and placed it in "~/.local/share/mime/packages"
(3) I ran the command "update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/"
I observed that a test file names "test.gms" was correctly identified as a GAMS source file when I opened it in gedit; however, no highlighting is done.I believe there must an error in my gams.lang file,The files are given below:
"gams.lang"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have searched through piles of postfix and sendmail documentation but I'm not sure of the terminology to describe what I want to do so I'm never sure what solutions are workable. Null client, relay hosts. What I have already is a RHEL postfix server which sends and receives email. What I want to do is add a second postfix server to the network. The second server should accept only ssl smtp mail and forward it on to the main postfix server. Users shouldn't use it for normal internal sending/receiving. It's only to allow me to support ssl smtp from people working out of the office without messing about with the main postfix server. I thought a Null Client sounded likely but I don't think it will accept mail. Is it a relay host I'm trying to configure? Any pointers on configuring something to just accept secure smtp and forward?

Basically, I'm loading Ophcrack via TFTP/PXE, but I want to be able to mount one of the shares on my samba server instead of it looking for a /tables/ folder on the current device. I already know how to modify the launch.sh script to get it to do what I want, however I'm stuck on how to mount a samba share through CIFS.
Code:
modprobe mount.cifs
returns that the module is not loaded or is not found. Is there a way to add mount.cifs?
Code:
su
root
mkdir -p /mnt/tables/
mount -t cifs //10.10.2.3/pxeboot/ophcrack/tables/XP/ /mnt/tables/
Doesn't work either. I'm kinda stuck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.
I would like to know if it is possibile to have support for wi-fi midi support in linux.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just updated to 10.04 from 9.10 and suddenly gedit is saying I don't have permission to save files in an sshfs-mounted directory. Nothing I've found through Google works.
* I'm mounting using `sshfs james@of1-dev-james:/home/james/projects $HOME/projects`
* `fuse` is listed in /etc/modules
* I'm a member of the `fuse` group
* Using `newgrp fuse` before mounting stops gedit from seeing the mounted directory at all.
* /dev/fuse belongs to `root:fuse` and has `crw-rw-rw-` permission.
* Other apps e.g. `nano` have no problem reading/writing to this directory.
I am using Lucid and am having a problem logging out of a ssh -X connection after I had forwarded an X window during it. I don't know if this is the proper place to be posting such a problem but I can think of nowhere else. Please feel free to redirect me elsewhere.At google's suggestion, I tried redirecting the pipes but that didn't help. I am not sure this helps but I did a verbose output of an example ssh session. I login, open a window, close it without doing anything, and then attempt to logout. It hangs which forces me to use ^c on it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few .txt files that when opened in gedit give me an error "Could not open the file - gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding" HOWEVER, I can see some of the contents of the files (a few words) in the icon preview in nautilus. Also, I can open these documents in notepad (using wine) though I'd prefer to use gedit.
These might not all be txt files. I know one is directory of important phone numbers that was in some obscure format that could only be opened on a nokia phone.

I'd can't seem to find a preference to turn off gedit's default behaviour of opening a new file in a new tab. I'd like it to open in a new window, so I can view two pages of code side by side. How can I convince gedit to open a new instance?

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and have run into a problem recently. When I use print preview in gedit, a "print preview" screen comes up and all of the pages are blank. Sometimes, one or two pages are shown but it is random. This just started to happen when I upgraded to 10.10. I did a fresh install so a partial update would not be an issue.
Are there any ideas what could be wrong? Sorry if this thread exists somewhere else but some google searching and ubuntu fourm searching resulted in nothing.

When I open it, it appears to be the home launcher file, but its in the wrong place and has the wrong name. What's going on? Shouldn't there be a folder there with my applications in it?
