How can I make my own screen-let?
all I want it to do is be a picture of an Orb like the windows 7 one but without the logo which I can place over the start icon. I just can't figure out how to make it, all I know is that you need to compress the file to a Tar.gz file.
I was following the online instructions to install screenlets and all is fine and the manager appears as well. In compiz the widget layer is active etc. Once widget layer is activated it shows an empty blank dark screen, widgets are not running. The widgets/scripts do not show up, neither on desktop nor on the widget layer.
Running the py script from terminal showing following output:

Found a running session of Clock, adding new instance by service.
Error in screenlets.services.get_service_by_name:

I'm using Screenlets in ubuntu 10.04 and I have a problem with screenlets behavior. I played around with it a little while and I guess I messes something, because now whenever I log in some screenlets load twice and I have to clean them manually. Where can I view the config for each individual screenlet?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe text of my cairo-clock screenlet is clipped - only a pixel or two on the top, but more on the bottom (see attached screenshot). Is there a way to fix this? (Also, does anyone know how to format the clock differently? I would like a single line with the format like "13:59 31/01/2010" ...)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to try out the screenlet called Folder View:[URL]I have downloaded and installed it fine. However, when I double-click on it (or use the Start/Stop button) there is a momentary flash and then nothing interesting. I have checked on the widget layer and on all desktops and I have tried various settings in Options all to no avail

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed the Screenlets package. HOW TO define my location in the ClearWeather screenlet? The "ZIP" (locale) field has the default: POXX0079 which is: "Villa Real". What coding system is this? How / where do I find the corresponding code for a Canadian city? It's obvious that the "ZIP" field does not use the US Postal coding system.

I'm attempting to use the output screenlet to always show the output of the "top" command. However, the screenlet will only display "TERM environment variable not set". Opening a terminal and running a "env | grep TERM" shows me that the variable is actually set, so I think that the screenlet may not be reading my environment correctly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 11.04 through UGR Linux and everything works fine! The only problem is that I cannot run make and make install. I get the following errors:

he clicks on everything on his GNOME desktop, and manages to delete everything, including menus, icons, etc. The people he lives with aren't skilled enough to fix it, and I live a good eight hours away. I have remote capabilities with NX, but that requires them to initiate a connection to my workstation here, which is more painful than I thought it would be. I need a way of locking down the desktop, so it's read-only, so he can't make the changes he seems to keep making. I figure I could make the .gnome directory read-only, but I don't know if that would affect the normal operation.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to modify fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c to make my modifications. I cannot find any options in 'make menuconfig' to make these files modules rather than compiled elements. I'm thinking these cannot be modules because the file system won't work without open.c and read_write.c. Is this correct - I cannot compile fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c as modules, only as compiled elements? Or, is there some way for a module to overwrite these routines when the module is installed and re-enable the routines when the module is removed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to gave much details as possible. working directory (~/a1/shell) in the shell directory i have Makefile. also in the shell directory i have subdirectory's (obj, src, include)
My current Makefile
Quote:
#What needs to be built to make all files and dependencies
clean:
# End of Makefile
I wanted it so: all .o files are created in the obj subdirectory, and my application, sshell, is created in the shell directory.

I build and use a custom kernel, and use the nvidia driver. This is on debian stretch.
By default, I build the image and headers packages with this line:
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 nice -n19 ionice -c3 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-something --revision=1 kernel_image kernel_headers
These kernel sources are usually the sources from debian, with a couple of more patches that I add. It appears that for nvidia-driver package versions higher than 352.79-1, the kernel headers/sources need to be prepared with 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts'. It's that simple. I concluded this after the nvidia dkms build failed on my custom kernel, but then succeeded after I pointed it to the full sources, but only after running 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts' on them. The problem is that this make-kpkg scheme doesn't appear to do this, or if it does, it doesn't properly include in the headers everything that it should.
difference between make and make bzImage commands as both are used to build source code.

When I try to compile some Java code on Ubuntu 10.10 (kernel 2.6+) using make and a Makefile.
I get an error indicating that the make utility cannot execute the java compile command (javac).
The error reads: /bin/bash: line 6: .: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_18/bin/javac: cannot execute binary file
I am executing make as root. I have enabled permissions on all directories in the path /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_18/bin/javac and on javac itself.
I get this error whether using a jdk installed via ubuntu apt-get, or whether I install the jdk myself. And I get it using either Java 1.5 or 1.6
My machine has an 80386 processor. I notice the make utility is built for i686-pc-linux-gnu
However, I can manually compile using javac.
I can compile calling javac from within a bash script.
I can compile using the java compiler gcj from the command line: gcj --main=HelloWorld HelloWorld.java -o HelloWorld.exe
But I cannot compile java code from the makefile. Any reasons why I might be getting this error?
I want to make a file called file roller for Ubuntu 9.10. The folder has a file called install.sh and some others that are make.

I would try to install 9.10 (its that bad imho) but I'm almost certain that in order for my graphics card to be supported (ati mobile 5870) I need to be running 10.04 cause the 10.4 catalyst drivers are only made for 10.04... correct me if I'm wrong if thats not true.If its not possible to make everything look as it did before can somebody please tell me if 9.10 is compatible with the 10.4 catalyst drivers? I will miss the fast boot time and the other features but the interface is unusable right now.
