Ubuntu :: Making Multible Terminal Command Launcher?

Jan 13, 2010

I made gnome launchers (shortcut or what they are called). I selected them : opened by terminal (with some simple commands). The problem is that I have 3 command lines and don't want to use 3 icons (launchers) to execute them. If I edit my launcer on gedit, I get this kind of lines :

Code:
[Desktop Entry]

Ubuntu :: Application Launcher Shortcut To Open Terminal And Execute A Command

Jan 15, 2010

I'm having Ubuntu Kramic Koala and i want to create a custom application launcher on the panel so when it is clicked it should open a terminal window and run the following command and then show the output for 5 secs and then closes the terminal... how can i do this?

Code:
cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode && sleep 5

the above command is what i want to be executed at time of running the custom application launcher. if i paste the command in a terminal, it will show the output for 5 secs and then terminates... that's almost what i want. what i exactly want is that, i want it to work like when i click on the shortcut launcher, it should open a terminal and then exectues that command, show the output for 5 sec, pause, and then exits the teriminal.

Ubuntu :: Making A Launcher To Run As Sudo?

Jul 23, 2010

Putting "sudo" inside the command field naturally doesn't work (unless your sudoer's are set to do so, which they're not).So how do I get gnome, nautilus or Ubuntu to prompt me for my sudo privileges?

Fedora :: How To Run Scripts From Gnome Launcher Not In The Terminal

Feb 17, 2011

I want to use the Gnome Launcher to launch a script I made but it will only work if I select "Application in Terminal." It will not launch if I use "Application". I've also noticed that my script will only run in the terminal regardless of how I launch it. Fedora will not let me just double click the file and "Run" the script. I don't want to open a terminal every time I run the script.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Record Audio From Multible Sources To Seperate Tracks?

Feb 15, 2011

I've been googling this problem a lot these last couple of days, with no luck.The thing is, I need to record audio from an old Tascam four track cassette recorder. I have three tracks on the tape and I want to record them to three seperate tracks on the computer. I don't have and cannot afford a decent multi-track soundcard (one of the reasons I'm using the cassette recorder, another being really cool drum sound). This means I cannot record the tracks seperately and sync them afterwards, because the speed of each playback isn't 100% reliable.

I have a USB guitar link from Behringer, which I could use and has one mono plug. Pulse Audio picks that up as a seperate input and with Jokosher I can assign line-in left and right to two seperate tracks and the USB link to a third one. The problem is however that Jokosher constantly freezes up and I've never been able to make it work properly. So my question is: is there any other way/software I could use to record from two seperate audio sources?

Our office housing keeping guy sat on my linux (Fedora 7) system and somehow removed the main panel. By panel I mean where all the menus are there - Applications, Places, System etc. and contains a tab for every running application. I brought back the panel but now I don't see the terminal launcher and I can't find it anywhere.It used to be there in "Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal" but now the System Tools option itself is not present there. System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Main Menu. There one System option is unchecked but I can't check it and apply. I am logged in as root.

Ubuntu :: Builtin Source . (dot) Command / Cannot Be Run From A Launcher?

Nov 23, 2010

Whenever I compile Dreamcast games, I must source a certain .sh file before running make. I like to use the Netbeans IDE, so I must run these commands in a terminal

Code:
$ source environ.sh
$ "/usr/local/netbeans-6.9.1/bin/netbeans"

However, this forces me to run netbeans from the terminal when I'd like to run netbeans from a launcher or alt + f2. This method forces me to keep the terminal open when I run netbeans. The problem is, source is a shell builtin command and cannot be run from a launcher (as far as I know).

Ubuntu :: Creating Custom Command/menu Launcher?

Sep 20, 2010

I had a problem with viewing webcams on Skype, and after searching I found out that running Skype through the terminal with this command "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype" makes the webcams work perfectly. What I wanted to do was to integrate this command into the main menu so that I won't have to type it into the terminal (and thus keep the terminal open all the session) every time I want to use Skype. So I edited the command of the Skype button in the Applications menu and put that line instead of "skype", but it gives me "Failed to execute child process "export" (No such file or directory)". I tried editing .bashrc and added the following line:

alias skp='export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype'

Now the command 'skp' works through the terminal, but it gives me the same error message when I put it into the command line of the applications menu.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Making The COMMAND Key The CONTROL Key?

Jul 30, 2011

If you're familiar with macs, you know that they use command keys instead of control..

If I want to select all I press COMMAND + A not CONTROL + A copy is COMMAND + C, paste is COMMAND + V, quitting an application is COMMAND + Q.

I am used to this, and I would like to change the command key to be the control key, and the macs control key to be the "windows" key.

Ubuntu :: Make Launcher On Desktop Or In CairoDock - Citing Script Path As Command - Nothing Happens

Apr 15, 2010

I recently downloaded the program cronometer (calorie counter) and I love it. It is run using a script I wrote (its a java program) that is in the directory of the program files (so the program does not appear under any of the application menus). The script functions only when it is in the destination folder. I did make the script executable. A symbolic link to the file also works but again, only when in the same folder. When I try to make a launcher on the desktop or in CairoDock, citing the script path as the command, nothing happens. I have tried it with both "bash" and "sh" prefixes on the command without success. Any ideas on how I could get this launcher to work?

Ubuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command

Feb 17, 2010

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:

Code:

#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm

[code]....

This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to

Code:

gnome-terminal -e mcTerm

Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Fedora :: Making SH File Into Global Command

Instead of typing:

I could type:
Code:

Programming :: Making A 1 Command Line Argument?

I need to write a script that will take 1 command line argument. The argument will be a username. The script will determine if the user exists on the system and will print an error if it does not. If the user does exist it will determine if the user is currently logged in, if the user is not logged in it will determine the last time the user logged in and display the file in the users home directory that was most recently modified.
