Software :: Make OpenProj Use The Desktop File Open/save Dialogs

May 6, 2010

I'm just starting with OpenProj and wonder if anyone has any tips to speed my progress.

I've netsearched for introductions, tutorials, HOWTOs etc. and found very little.

Importantly I'd like to change the default font used on the display, to make the characters larger and bolder; the default is a strain to read.

Less importantly is there any way to make OpenProj use the desktop file open/save dialogs, rather than its own?

Ubuntu :: Possible To Instead Of Using Desktop Folder Plasmoid / Usual Desktop Act As File Manager?

Nov 12, 2010

1. Is it possible to instead of using the Desktop Folder plasmoid, have a usual Desktop act as a file manager?
2. What is Akondi? There are tons of processes which have Akonadi in their name, and it seems to be using up lots of memory.Can I disable these somehow, or is it safe to do so?
3. Any general tips on how to reduce the amount ram that is used on startup? I am using somewhere around 750MB on startup, which is about double the amount Gnome uses. After a few hours of use, Xorg uses close to 1GB of memory.
4. Whenever I get a notification, they don't delete themselves, so when I click on the (i), I see tons of notifications. Is there a way to get them to delete themselves after they have been shown?

Ubuntu :: Downloaded The Demo Of Penumbra Overture, It Is A .sh File (113Mb) Can't Open The File?

Jun 2, 2010

I downloaded the demo of Penumbra Overture, it is a .sh file (113Mb). I can't open the file. In a terminal I ran chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh and then sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh and I get an error "./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" . The quotation marks are my own. Is the file corrupted? One of my lugmates thinks it might be a shar file, but Karmic says that it is a shell script. Another friend says that it is too large to be a shell script. Here is the code:

john@john-laptop:~$ cd /home/john/00
john@john-laptop:~/00$ chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh
john@john-laptop:~/00$ sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh

After upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10, the Ubuntu Software Center refused to start, and I got an icon in the notification area saying that "a problem occurred when checking for the updates." When I run software-center in the terminal, I get this error message:

Code:

Ubuntu :: Matlab Desktop (JVM) Won't Open?

Oct 28, 2010

I'm suddenly having an odd problem after running Matlab successfully on my 10.10 system for a while.When I try to open Matlab now with

Code:
matlab -glnx86 -desktop
matlab only opens in console mode and doesn't load the jvm desktop. It doesn't report any errors. The command
Code:
version('-java');
gives no response.

If I try to run a command in the console such as plot, I get the following warning: Code: Warning: This functionality is no longer supported under the -nojvm startup option So, matlab is somehow starting with the -nojvm option even though I'm explicitly telling it not to with the -desktop flag. I don't know how this has suddenly changed today. When I first set Matlab up on Maverick a few weeks ago I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB to get the java stuff working properly. Does anyone have ideas on where -nojvm might be implicitly set or log files I can access to give me more info on why this might be happening?

General :: Cannot Open File In RW Mode - Filling Root File System With Log Files

Nov 3, 2010

I work for a company that makes portable devices running Linux and I was recently asked to make the underlying file system read-only for "security" purposes. Since the distribution is based on LinuxFromScratch, I know that very little writing happens at run time. So, even if the device runs on a usb flash device, I doubt that putting the root file system RO will be that beneficial. I am actually more concerned about a process actually breaking because it cannot open a file in RW mode than a process going rogue and filling the root file system with log files, etc. I'd really like to ear what kind of advantages disadvantages there really is with read-only file-systems.

I get an error when running slapt-get. The error is: "slapt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libsas.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

I've booted the Slackware disk # 1 and unchecked everything except the libraries category and installed them. I rebooted and it still says this. I get this same error before I put the disk in and rebooted to install ALL libraries. I really need help. BTW, I can't load KDE.I found a pkg manager already installed called "slackpkg". But I really need help on this library issue!! I uninstalled it (slapt-get) anyway, so forget that!

OpenSUSE :: Libjpeg.so.62 - Cannot Open Shared Object File No Such File Or Directory?

Jul 10, 2011

I'm trying to use a software on OpenSuSE 11.3 (64) and am getting an error message similar to the one in the title. I did a bit of background reading on libjpeg.so.62 that the program was asking for. I noticed that I had a file called libjpeg.so.8 in my /usr/lib/ folder. I found a libjpeg.so.62 file online, downloaded it and copied to to my /usr/lib folder, but its not making any difference.

General :: (xubuntu) Click On Webpage File And Open File With Emacs?

Aug 26, 2010

I am using xubuntu and there are a few types of files on website that instead of downloading and saving and then opening with emacs, I would rather when the radio button choice comes up say open with emacs. I am using xubuntu with xfce, and there is no line for a command to be entered as some ubuntu editions have. In the choice of changing the opening program from mousepad to something else, it says search and allows to navigate to find a program, but I cant find emacs anywhere not in etc/ or elsewhere. So where is its executable to direct the program chooser to?
