Whenever I try opening the Gnome Activity Journal from Applications > Accessories > Gnome Activity Journal, it doesn't open, nothing shows up, and not even in the System Monitor. So I took a different route, by opening it from the Terminal, to see if it gave me anything, and when I type in 'gnome-activity-journal' it spits this out at me:
Code:
I want to install the Zeitgeist Activity Journal on Fedora 12, there is a package zeitgeist-0.3.2-1.fc12 (noarch) in the repos and the description says its just the daemon without user interface/gui.
How can I use it on F12, there are many Screenshots on the Internet like this one:

I want it as shown in the picture and not in combination with gnome shell. What do I have to install ?
I'm on 10.04 64-bit and can't get tagging to work in Activity Journal (.5) or Tracker (., installed from the ppas. Am I missing something? It'd be really nice to have tag-level access in addition to hierarchal directories! I've spent two hours past my bedtime working on this and am stumped.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently building a ubuntu distro and would like to run a script on GNOME startup. I've read about doing it through the session manager but I have to do it through chroot so I'll need to set it up as a terminal command. Is there a way to add an item to the Session Manager from terminal or, even better, a directory where I can put the script so it will run on start?

I have a server that, due to the amount of data it's moving, tends to trash up the hard drive when I have a power outage or crash. It doesn't have a keyboard or monitor attached to it normally so it's a real pain when I have to boot it back up. I have to hook one up just to hit F to have it fix all the errors. Is there a way to have it do this automatically on boot rather then having to confirm it?

I've added httpd to runlevels 2-5 using chkconfig, and also double checked it using ntsysv, but it still won't run on startup, even though it works just fine when started manually (using "sudo service httpd start").The results of "chkconfig --list httpd" show it is on for levels 2-5, and I've confirmed the current runlevel to be 3. I've found no errors in the logs (neither Apache's nor the system's), but maybe I'm looking at them wrong...My machine is a VPS (on VMWare) running CentOS 5.5 32bit.

View 3 Replies View RelatedA couple of days ago on my Fujitsu Laptop which was nearing its end (in about 2 more years, I'll have to send it to the scrap pile) I had a GNOME Power Configuration error. This is the story of my struggles and my thread of cries for help: I was booting after installing an update for Maverick Meerkat, and I got a message during the load screen that said: INSTALLATION PROBLEM: The configuration defaults for Gnome Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please Contact your system administrator.
So I dropped into GRUB During my 5th boot (while trying to boot once more in hopes it was just a boot error) and I selected the latest/updated version of Ubuntu, but I dropped into the recovery mode version so I could attempt some commands to try and fix it. Then, I dropped into the root terminal to attempt more commands to avoid specifying my networking device, and typing sudo before the commands. I got on my alternate computer and searched my problem. I installed a whole bunch of crappy commands that didn't do anything, and ended up purging GNOME completely and doing:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

I have tried xrandr -o normal to no avail. Anyone ever run into this?
I'm still quite new on linux .. so please accept my question, even if I'm asking something stupid The fact is that I created some months ago a partition of 50 Gb to store my data and I used an ext3 filesystem with journal .. and the journal was about 1 Gb I thinkNow after a few months of usage I moved all my data to a new device and I noticed thapartition was completly emptied, in fact there was still about 10 Gb occupied.All data was moved away, so I think this might be the journal.
Now a few questions:1) Is it normal for a journal to occupy 1/5 of a device? 2) Is there a command or another way to free up the space occupied by the journal?3) Is there a better option in order of filesystem? Maybe it's better to use another one?I usually use ext3 for the system partition and for data storage partition,then I have a partition into where I store clonezilla images for backup purposesand I decided to use reiserfs for it in order to have more space available,even because it's always unmounted and I access onto it only for backup activities

I would like to see the journal of a file-system (ex. ext4) in action. What i mean is that, without knowing what kind of fs is on a partition, i want to test if this fs supports or not journaling.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Lucid Lynx, I am trying to change my GNOME login sound, and I find you can't do it under System -> Preferences -> Sounds anymore. So I followed the recommendation of every search result relating to "gnome login sound" and tried to modify it under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. However, there is nothing relating to the GNOME Login Sound or any other login sound in my startup applications list.
How do I add GNOME Login Sound to make it an option in the Startup Applications list? How could it not be there to begin with?
After several upgrades (from 8.xx) I noticed Gnome terminal took about 4 seconds to open an window and another 4 seconds to give me a prompt. This is excruciating when blasting out CLI in dozens of terminals ssh'd into dozens of machines. Tabs were no different.
Fix was: Comment out anything in ~/.bashrc that references xterm. BOOM less than 1s total to prompt.
If it's faster than I can get my mouse hand back to the keyboard to start blasting CLI, it's good enough

Everything is working fine, but if a new HD is added (like dev/sdc), I have a boot error, initramfs error!
Why this is happening? How can I add a new HD without error?
I would like to adjust the journal program called lifeograph. First I would like to build it, clean without any adjustments.
I'm using this version: [URL]
Readme file says:
Requirements
-----------
Lifeograph requires the following modules to be built:
* gtkmm,
* gconfmm,
* gtkspell, and
* gcrypt.
Installation
------------
Type "make" to build and "make install" to install (all without quotes). No configuration atm.
I tried make, but it doenst really work. So i think i dont have good requirements.
-> how do I install the required modules? -> I've found some in packet manager, but some appear to be librarys.
After an error occurred i can log in using the recovery console and startx manually.
If i understood correctly recovery mode uses /etc/rcS.d which starts the computer with minimal services and the normal startup is /etc/rc2.d. What can rc3, rc4 and rc5 be used for? Can anyone run different desktops (gnome, xfce, etc) using these runlevels (i am considering that the base system install is the same for all desktops)? Where i can find information about the services that are listed in the rc folders, since some (hibernate, bluetooth, apache2) are not useful to me at the moment.
I am also interested to find out what makes the computer start at it's default runlevel. Is there a way to start rc2 (or rc3, etc) from the recovery mode? When i used to start my computer, it would load into grub, and then it used to get me to the login screen. This is something i would like to avoid (the login screen), and start at the command prompt. My startups are minimal since the computer is always on. I was thinking of 'copying' rcS into rc2 for a normal console start and then start rc3 or rc4 or rc5 to load a desktop.
I am using Squeeze, Gnome, default installation.
I'm trying to execute a custom setxkbmap command upon startup so that I have the correcty layout when logging in.
I have tried placing the command in different files after reading through the man pages for Xsession, Xsession.options, xinitrc etc.
~/.gnomerc
~/.xsession
~/.xinitrc
but to no avail.
There are a couple of applications that I want to start at bootup when I load GNOME but not when I'm using KDE. There doesn't seem to be any option for that. Is there any way I can accomplish this?
