Mar 15, 2011I am coming from Kubuntu 10.10, which is a Debian based OS. I am used to going into the terminal and typing sudo apt-get install or sudo apt-get remove to install and remove programs. I know it is the hard way to do it, but I find it gave me more flexibility. So how do I do this in openSUSE 11.3? Or can I even install things through terminal? What is the command? I know there is YaST but I also want to learn how to use the terminal

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Run Certain Programs On Encrypted Install?
Jan 14, 2010After trying out ubuntu for a while (and messing something up that required I reinstall), I installed karmic using the encrypt home directory option. Now I can't run several programs, such as Computer Janitor, SBackup, Software Sources, and Synaptic Package Manager (I can run Synaptic only if I launch it through a terminal using "sudo synaptic"). All of these programs worked flawlessly for me when I didn't have an encrypted install. I am very new to linux, the join date to the left is about when I started trying ubuntu

Feb 4, 2010Anyone know of an easy & practical way to re-package (in to debs) all the programs I have installed on a system so I can copy them on to a disc & install on another machine? Basically so I only ever download the programs I want once but can install them as often as I need. I'm sure I read that by just copying the /usr directory to a target machine may work (although I haven't tried I doubt it). I've also read that it may be possable to simply copy a whole Ubuntu installation to another drive & use it in another machine.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Run GUI Programs From Terminal Correctly?
Aug 3, 2010I can't figure this out. If i run GUI program (in GNOME) from terminal. It doesn't works the same as if i run it from menus (or shortcut on desktop or panel). Or some times I run it from Alt+F2 method.
What is the difference in this methods?
For example what is the difference if i put this...
metacity --replace
...in terminal or in ALT+F2 dialog window. If I put it in terminal. GNOME doesn't work correctly. If i put it in Alt+F2 dialog window. It works as it should. With no problems.
And what is the difference if i like to run for example FireFox or gnome-control-center from terminal or select it from menus.
If i like to run from terminal. What would be right way to do it?
Because sometimes i get errors in terminal (but GUI works) sometimes after i close terminal GUI program closes to. Sometimes it doesn't. But if i run that program from menus (icons) there is no such problem. It just works. If i put & at the end of program. I can work in terminal. But still all of the above is still true.

Oct 2, 2010I'm a Ubuntu Desktop newbie, and I wiped XP Media Center off my old HP Pavillion Dv8000 last night to install 10.04 LTS. With very little tweaking, I got everything to run right including wireless, but now I notice that I can't run any new (post-install) programs that I install through Ubuntu Software Center. In fact, I haven't tried installing any other way, but all software that was part of the default installation works fine, but these programs won't run:VLC Media PlayerSkypeStarsWhen I click on the programs to run them, the other apps slow or freeze for 30-45 seconds as if the computer is contemplating starting them, and then nothing. No errors, no shell or blank window - nothing. They just don't run.I only created one user account at O/S install and as far as I can tell is the SU, so I can't see it being a permissions issue.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Removing Start Up Programs In Terminal?
Mar 11, 2010I recently learned how to add start up programs in the terminal using the following command:
Code:
ln /usr/bin/whateverprogram ~/.kde/Autostart
This worked, but now I want to remove some start up programs using the command line. Can someone point me in the right direction to what I need to do for this?
I'm assuming that default start up programs are not links in the ~/.kde/Autostart folder because when I run:
Code:
ls -a ~/.kde/Autostart
I only find the files that I have set to start up.
Ubuntu :: Auto Start Programs In Terminal?
Sep 18, 2010I am setting up a streaming audio server. I would like to have Darkice and sc_serv (Shoutcast server) start automagically on boot.
I have set Xubuntu (10.04) to auto login
Both Darkice and sc_serv are command line apps and I would like them to each run in their own terminal window so I can monitor any status messages they produce. For instance sc_serv displays connections disconnections with time connected, and current number of listeners, and I want to see that.
One important note: sc_serv must be up and running before Darkice can be started.

Ubuntu :: Compiling And Running Some C++ Programs (with G++ From The Terminal)?
Jun 7, 2011so i've just been sitting here, compiling and running some c++ programs (with g++ from the terminal), I looked away for one minute to open a file that had just been written out (opened it with gedit if that makes a difference), now my terminal says:kbuildsyscoca4 running...so I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is about?hy it suddenly started running and why it has appeared on my terminal. I'm basically just curious as I though bash shells were entirely separate virtualizations of shells, and unrepresentative of other processes. i'm also wondering what kbuildsyscoca4 is/does (i've got gnome going on and generally gnome varieties of programs). I found a post from about a year ago mentioning the same thing, though no replies.

Ubuntu :: Bash For Programs Running In Terminal?
Aug 9, 2011Trying to write a script for desktop launchers that are adaptable to screen resolution. Ideally, the program should:
1. Determine screen resolution:
if "a" use xdotool options window size 1305 x 869 px and move to 135,0
if "b" use xdotool options window size 1545 x 1019 px and move to 135,0
2. Check if program running:
if no, open program, and use "a" or "b" placement options, focus window
if yes, focus window
3. Close script and leave program open (if possible).
Problems arise when trying to use the script on programs that run from and hog the terminal
(e.g. brasero, gcalctool, nautilus)
Here the script will load the program, and nothing else (probably because it still occupies the terminal as it runs)
Code:
gcalctool && xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This next command will cause the program to load, move, but it keeps focusing itself like xdotool is running the windowmove function constantly - it keeps focusing itself until script stopped.
Code:
gcalctool & xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This had the same effect as the above code, but seems to work as a conditional subscript running when the process is running in the terminal - it just goes infinitely.
Code:
while [1] ; do xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0 done exit
Is there some kind of "if, then" or "while, do" or some kind of conditional I can put in to the script ensure the window is moved only once if the program is running within the terminal? Is there a way to remove the program from the terminal from the script once it's been called?
Ubuntu Installation :: Install Source Code For Programs To Compile?
Feb 2, 2010Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?
The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?
I am running Mythbuntu 7.10

I seem to have this problem every other time I install a new Fedora. I tried a few things with old libtermcap files from other machines, and I tried looking around the YUM repository, but nothing seemed to work.
What's the proper way to get the libtermcap libraries for a Fedora 12 machine on an iCore i3?

Swedish there hehe, but basically it says the it couldnt find the the package named "compizconfig-sett.This problems occurs in several situations. Every single package i try except "upgrade" fails to find a package.
Also, the package manager "Ubuntu Software Manager" and Synaptic arent giving me any solutions. Same problems. Packages arent available and such. I have a working internet connection and the GPU drivers are installed. Everything is updated. sudo apt-get install update/upgrade is done and also done in the general update manager.
