Ubuntu :: Gnome 3 - Code: "Updating Jhbuild ... Cannot Pull With Rebase: You Have Unstaged Changes"
May 13, 2011
I am trying to compile gnome 3 and I have a problem. (without breaking Unity, gnome-shell in /home folder). I was using this tutorial. When I enter this command Code: /bin/bash gnome-shell-build-setup.sh I get this message Code: Updating jhbuild... Cannot pull with rebase: You have unstaged changes.
I want to update my gnome to the latest version (2.30) because I have 2.28 so I go to terminal and enter the command "apt-get" or try "zypper dup" which both ask for root so I just add "sudo" before the commands and when it ask for the password it doesnt let me write it.
I want to build my own GNOME. The problem I have is that I cannot find the tarball for the GNOME source code. Another thing I've read on their website is that the way to build it is not the conventional './configure, make, make install', and that it has to be done using a multi-phase process. Is this correct?
I was wondering if it is at all possible to use CSS code to make the Gnome panel clock text blink. I Googled a bunch of CSS code which is supposedly used to create a blinking text effect but none work in the Gnome panel clock. Is there any sort of CSS code which can do that? If so, what is it?
I'm trying to build a GUI for my java app and compile with gcj (to native code). I started googling and found 3 possibilities: Java-Gnome, Gnome-GCJ and libswt. Unfortunately, Java-Gnome is not compatible with gcj and Gnome-GCJ is, but is no longer maintained. The third option, libswt, I could not find any clear information what is it and how it works. Can you enlighten me a bit more about the subject?
Getting this error seemingly randomly at login: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The last error message was: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. I thought I might be logging in to fast, but it happened again when I had waited several minutes.
I have a 3dsp pci wifi card, and the last kernel it supports is Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-(21-24) I want to update but dont want to accidentally update the kernal.
I am in the process of re-DL-ing the ISO as the checksums didn't match.
Mind you, that was with a shell extension in Win-Lose. Who knows.
Anyway:
I have the ISO (that I had previously) on a USB courtesy of UNetBootIn. All appears well until, quite quickly, I receive an error after the loading process which goes something like:
Code: Error: cannot find disk at [hash-code - looks like 0ace5f etc etc, is about 12 char's in length.]Something very similar (but not same error I think) happened when I tried to do the same with my OpenSolaris or Fedora install. I.e., gets as far as the very beginning of the loader and then: bork.
At least one of them said "will reboot in 120 secs". Saves me the trouble!
I have a pretty good understanding of what is in the package mgt rep and how to pull software out and install. BTW this is the greatest software install tool ever created.But really my question is about software for UBUNTU that is not in the rep. Has anyone compiled a list and/or reviews of the software that is out there. I'm looking for companies that actively writing software for Linux and in particular UBUNTU and what kind of products they have.
I have a gziped dd image backup of my entire hda drive (osx and ext4 partitions) that I created with the following command: dd if=/dev/sda |gzip > image032810.gz Can I mount this image file to pull off individual files from individual partitions?
This is (I'm sure) a silly question, but when reading the guide for custom kernel [url] it mentions I need to use yumdownloader to pull the source as an RPM.
How exactly do I find mirrors etc for this (and where do I configure it)?
I've already got the source locally along with the patches I want to use, and want to try this the 'fedora' way. I'd normally just use make/make modules etc, but I've never tried it via RPM.
I know of terminating a command with & and then moving it into the background by pressing Ctrl-Z and then bg [pid], and I also know of nohup. But say you started a process that turned out to take much longer than one expected, is there a way of pulling, so to speak, this process from another terminal screen into the background so that even if I log off from the server the process would continue?
Often, and esp after adding something with apt-get or Synaptics I find Firefox will lose the ability to display either pull down menus or a menu from a mouse's right button.
I've been doing some initial searches for a bug report on Launchpad (but it is unclear if it is being used to actively track bugs vs some other place).
My 'hit it with a hammer' approach to a fix, at least to this point, is to reinstall from the local store or cache, the application;
Synaptic Status Filter Firefox (in the Quick Search field) Mark the existing Firefox for Reinstallation
No files get downloaded, but a restart of Firefox and 'tada'; menus return.
I've been running an overnight cron job for months on my servers which tells me what apt-get dist-upgrade wants to do.
This morning I was faced with it wanting to install 115 new packages including many (if not all - I can't face checking, e.g. firefox) which are entirely pointless on a server with no gui.
apt-get upgrade wants to do the sensible (in my mind) thing.
To save anyone asking, I've been using dist-upgrade because upgrade wouldn't report on pending kernel upgrades and, until I spotted that, I was due kernel upgrades for quite a while before I realised.
I presume this is caused by an over-enthusiastic depends or recommends somewhere but does anyone actually know?
Off to work now but I'll look further this evening so any pointers before then gratefully received.
All ok again now, the bug with language pack dependencies has been fixed - [URL]
I am trying to find a way to pull Node Pointers out of the model, for use in other areas of the program. The solution is probably simple but I haven't had any luck finding it.
Model for a QTreeView:
Code:
class testModel : public QAbstractItemModel { public: testModel(); ~testModel();
I have a script in Linux that generates a report on my Linux machine. I would like to know if there is anyway I can write a script to pull this report automatically from my Linux machine into my windows machine. Both Linux and Windows machines are on the same network
I have to pull certificate from multiple computers which are on network and store it in a single fie or each file belong to a particular computer.I am using certutil -store to import the certificate.
Recently our houses internet usage has skyrocketed and i'm trying to keep an eye on it using bandwidthd (installed on the server). It installed fine and counts traffic fine, the problem is we have a server that hosts our music/movies/etc and when people pull music off the server it skews their bandwidth usage. I'm looking for a way to exclude all traffic on the local network and only count internet traffic. This is the filtering part of the config file
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop with Nvidia NVS 4200m Graphics card. I installed Ubuntu 11.04.
Before I installed Ubuntu 11.04 I had went to my bios and disabled Nvidia Optiums and changed the graphics to Discrete Graphics. Then inserted my Ubuntu 11.04 CD and installed.
With this I had gotten unity to work. However when I pull the power cable from the laptop my screen freezes. Also if press "FN"+ Home or END to change the brightness of the screen my screen freezes and no longer able to move the mouse or press anything on keyboard.
Did anyone ever run into this problem and or fix this issue? I can get the graphics working properly with Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity with a Nvidia NVS 4200m graphics card.
I left a friend playing with my PC and after she was done there are several extra folders now included at the bottom of the pull down places menu. How do I remove these again?
