Like for instance, if I have Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installed with XFCE, and it has an applications made for XFCE. will the applications also work on say some other distro like, Wolvix, that is an XFCE-based distro~????
What I am trying to say is: Do applications that are made for XFCE, work on ANY distro that has XFCE installed?
I was wondering if there was any way to remove icons from the installed applications menu?I recently attempted to install GOG.com's Zork Anthology using Wine and when I de-installed, the icons for those files were still listed in installed applications. Is there anyway to delete them manually?
I have just finished installing Karmic on new computer. I have already installed java jre, flash plugin, and unrar/rar. My question is can I still install restricted extras to get addition applications installed, without corrupting my apps already installed? Or should I just manually install the remaining items from restricted extras manually?
Is there a programmatic way to get the list of all installed applications on Linux.
Also, how can we get the application activities in Linux OS like running applications name, time of day when they started, duration till the applications were running on system, application version etc.
Is there a way to do this in C/C++.
I am building an app that runs like a daemon and fetches the applications status and sends it to the network admin for him to monitor the application usage pattern on the user computers in the network.
I have the xfce 4.6 desktop installed with Fedora 14 x64. First, I started having some problems, not sure if they are connected: the menu button on the panel somehow moved from the bottom left corner by itself, the window manager won't open, all windows (browser, programs, etc.) are cut off so that the strip with the minimize/maximize symbols up in the top-right corner is not visible, all windows open in top left-hand corner of screen and can't be moved, workspaces disappeared form the panel, unable to switch windows (have to close the window in focus to access another), typing in some applications (terminal, text editor) does nothing sometimes but works when I reopen them, etc.
.. After this had been going on for a while (few hours), I was changing the panel icons, and the bug report icon suddenly showed up and said that package gnome-1:0.8.1-10.git20100831.fc14 of the gnome network manager (xfce doesn't have it's own network manager?!) and the ibus keyboard layout switcher plugin had crashed. These don't seem to have anything to do with the troubles I'm having; the internet works fine. I have copies of the bug reports but I'm not sure if I should post them since the bug reporting tool warned me that they may contain sensitive information.
I really like listening to music, and Rhythmbox is okay, but I've been looking up various other Music players for Ubuntu, and many users have a lot to say about Songbird. However, can't figure out how to install it, or if it's even possible now?
With Jessie, I use Menulibre. It's not in the Wheezy repos that I see, However. I read of Alacarte, but it seems to have a list a mile long of other stuff that "needs" to be installed with it.
I use XFCE on Debian (squeeze) and I'm sick and tired of the ugly fonts in all Qt-apps. See below what it looks like in qtconfig-qt4 with a deleted ~/.config/Trolltech.conf. I've done some googling, but without any satisfaction. I've tried to change font (Font family drop down menu in pic), and some fonts looks as bad as the default (Sans Serif), and some look ok. Something seems to be fscked up.
I have windows in c: and now i have newly installed Ubuntu in c: through Wubi Now I see only my d: in ubuntu, How to access c: ? Can someone help me with this ? I am pasting the o/p of mount command.
/dev/loop0 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
Good day! Just finished setting up my 11.04 home server this week. Installed GNOME initially and ended up not feeling it (a bit too slow for VNC on my Atom box). Performed sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then installed xfce.
Now, I can't use tab-complete in any Terminal app in xfce when using VNC to access the box. It still works properly over SSH. Have ensured that all lines referring to auto-complete are un-commented in the following:
/etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc ~/.bashrc
I have verified that bash_completion is installed (reinstalled using Synaptic just to be sure). It seemed to work intermittently when I changed the above config files but has reverted back to not functioning anymore.
Have setup using Samba a share on the documents folder. When I attempt to access it from another PC, when access is allowed to everyone, all works perfectly.However, when I allow access just to a user, on attempting to access this folder, it asks for a password but on entering the correct password it does not allow access.
I have installed SAFECOPY & TESTDISK using Synaptic manager. after installation I can't find the applications in the menu, I am trying to use them. where to find these applications?
I've recently tried to install various well known programs however they do not show up anywhere. Even in the home folder they do not show up. It's like they were never installed, but I know for a fact I watched them being installed in the terminal and everything. The application I am most concerned with is ies4linux(mainly because its in the way of my WoW playing). I did the whole cabextract (already have wine) and downloaded the ies4linux file.It runs the installer for it, however it doesn't show in the applications or home folder.
A couple weeks after I installed the xfce desktop version of Linux Mint, I became unable to log in to my own desktop. I enter my password, but the screen fades to black and then fades back in to the login screen.
I am able to log in using the recovery mode terminal and everything works as expected. I can log in to the Mint desktop as root, but the superuser can't view my files. Instead, there are only a .desktop file and a README telling me that my files have been unmounted (they're not on their own partition) and they give me instructions on how to remount them.
So I follow the instructions. Running the .desktop through the browser GUI quickly opens and closes a terminal, doing nothing. Running ecryptfs-mount-private, as the README recommends, reports:
Code: ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly And that's where I'm stuck.
I have installed several applications on my Powerbook running lucid, but when I click the "applications" menu, many of them do not appear on the list. They show in the software install/remove application.
We all know that we can remove installed applications straight from terminal or ubuntu software center. However, sometimes we download .deb files from the web that are not necessarily on the repository. My question is, how do I uninstall a manually installed deb application?
Installed Ubuntu 10.10 Using Wubi - Can't Access GUI First, let me say that I'm new to Ubuntu and this is the first time I've tried installing it on my desktop PC. My PC specs are as follows:
Operating System:MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3 CPU:Intel Celeron 336, 2.80 GHz, Prescott 90nm Technology RAM:1.0GB Single-Channel DDR @ 165MHz (2.5-4-4-7) Motherboard:MICRO-STAR INTL, CO.,LTD. MS-7108 (Socket 478) Monitor:LG-T711S @ 1024x768
I installed sun virtual box 3.1 by double clicking on its .deb package and it said it has been successfully installed, but I can't see it in the applications menu, what's wrong ? It's listed under synaptic package as installed after completing the installation
I know with if statements in bash you can do Code: if [ $fruit = apple ] then echo "Good, I like Apples" fi But I was wondering if you could do something like this: Code: if [apt-cache pkgnames smbfs = smbfs doesn't exist] the apt-get install smbfs fi If so how would you capture the output from apt-cache pkgname smbfs to determine if it's installed?
I have downloaded a couple of software packages from the ubuntu software center and they are not showing up in the applications menu on top, I have no idea where on the hard drive it stores them so I can find them manually and place a shortcut in the applications menu.
I have installed ubuntu 10.04 using wubi installer..I am dual booting ubuntu with windows 7.I have alloted 8 gb of disk space while installing ubuntu.My first question is how can i know where the installed applications are stored and how much memory they occupy and how much free space is available out of the alloted 8gb.?My second one is now i have to install RAD 7.5 which requires 3.5 gb of free space..How can i expand the disk space without the need of reinstalling ubuntu.
I've been using Fedora 11 x86_64 for over a year and am about to upgrade to Fedora 13 using a genuine Fedora installation CD that I got last summer at OSCON. I've made a full system backup, but before I take the plunge I want to get a list of all installed applications. I have tons of special applications installed, many of which took tweaks to get running. Just in case something breaks so badly that I have to reinstall I want to be sure I can put everything back, even if it takes me several days work.I know I have read about utilities that will generate a list of installed apps, but I can't find any.
To make sure I have the latest packages installed, I no longer install anything from yum, I just compile them from source (or where source isn't available, from .rpm) directly from the application's website.
I was just wondering if there's a best practice about where to put application files that you compile yourself? Most of them seem to default to putting their files in /usr/local. What I currently do is then create symlinks from /usr/sbin, /etc/<appname>/conf, /var/log, /var/run etc. Is this messy? How should I be doing this instead?
i installed "display calibrator" from the distros and afterwards i cant find it under Applications (graphics/ sound&audio/system tools...), so i went to System > Preferences > Main Menu and it isnt listed anywhere.
