View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Debugging GTK + Programs Hangs The System?
Oct 28, 2010A thread-aware version of gdb receives a system notification when a thread starts in the app it is debugging. GTK+ has hidden threads associated with loading icons into menus. So trying to debug a GTK+ program, even one that is apparently single-threaded, can produce a deadlock between gdb, the app and XWindows. The app (actually GdkPixbufLoader) grabs the focus, the mouse and the keyboard and then starts a thread when a menu is opened. If gdb has trouble with threads, it leaves the app blocked but still holding the mouse, et. al. Then you can't talk to gdb or any other GUI interface. To make gdb happy, all GTK+ apps need to be linked with -pthread, if you have the source. If not, gdb cannot be used. In order to break the deadlock, you need a non-GUI shell. If your /etc/inittab starts agetty, mingetty, or the like, and you can get to it with <CRTL><ALT><F3...F6>, you can do a kill -KILL <pid> on the offending app, recover and then go back to XWindows with <CTRL><ALT> <F1/F2>. Otherwise it's reboot time.

Nov 6, 2010I have 11.1 on a computer. I updated it yesterday. Now K3B, VLC, and XDVDShrink are all broken. Possibly other programs broken as well. VLC refuses to uninstall via Yast. These are high-priority programs for this computer. Multiple people use this computer for multimedia and there is not much to entertain ourselves with in our very cold climate. In other words, it is mandatory that K3B, VLC and XDVDShrink return to operational status.
Should I just upgrade to 11.3, try to fix the broken 11.1? I prefer using KDE3, not KDE4, but I can sacrifice.
General :: How System Know It's Collection Of Command Line Programs
Aug 23, 2010I just started using ubuntu after being a long time windows user.
what i find really interesting is that in command line, i can type many programs and commands, eg firefox can be run via command line from anywhere. In windows cmd prompt, im used to having to run the .exe file by first navigating to it, then being able to run the .exe.
what i wanna know is how does linux know all the programs at the command line?

Sep 27, 2010I have GParted installed, running openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME. When running GParted, it always grayed out most file system actions, supporting only hfs fully. This made no sense, as I had all the required packages installed for other file system support. However, I recently figured out how to get it to work. Using the installed menu button doesn't work, running "gnomesu /usr/sbin/gparted" doesn't work; to get it to work, I have to open up a terminal, type "su -" to log in as root, and then run gparted. The menu button and gnomesu both prompt for a password, so it should be running as root, but launching it through the root terminal is the only way to actually get it to work. Is one root different from another?

This repeated over and over again. My temperature was never to high 40-55, and I found a suggestion to update my kernel to 2.6.37-020637. After doing so there is no longer the thermal limit exceeded error but the computer is still running poorly. The system is slow and again no programs are showing up in the task bar when open.
Networking :: Programs Cannot Create Temp Files On Nfs-mounted NTFS File System?
Jun 14, 2010I have an NTFS file system nfs-automounted on our RedHat servers. Users can read and write to the file system no problem, and can create new files, edit them, and delete them to their heart's content. The only issue is that utilities such as "dos2unix" cannot create temporary working files:
$ dos2unix events.0818.dat
dos2unix: converting file events.0818.dat to UNIX format ...
Failed to open output temp file: Operation not permitted
dos2unix: problems converting file events.0818.dat
This isn't limited to "dos2unix"; any other utility that creates a temporary working file gets the same problem. If I copy the file to a local file system like /tmp, it works fine. Here's the kicker: this works fine on Solaris systems. I can take the "dos2unix" utility over to a Solaris system that has that exact same NTFS file system automounted via NFS, and it works. No issues creating temporary working files at all.
Ubuntu :: Can't Install Programs With 10.04?
May 24, 2010I'm brand-spanking new to Ubuntu and so far am greatly enjoying this magnificent OS.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Cannot Get Programs To Install
Jun 1, 2010I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.

Ubuntu :: Can't Install Some Programs In 64 Bit Lucid
May 1, 2010so i just did a fresh install of lucid last night. it went relatively well, but there's a few minor issues.. one of them being that i can't install certain software from ubuntu software center because it tells me that the program isn't offered for amd64.
for example, when i try to install skype, it tells me
Quote:
Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64).
i even downloaded the 64 bit skype from the website, but when it doesn't want to install that either and just leaves me with a broken package.
the thing is, these programs that won't install with lucid worked perfectly with karmic.. so i guess it has something to do with lucid..

Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?
