Ubuntu Multimedia :: Launch Application In Specific Monitor?
Aug 24, 2010
I have a laptop running Ubuntu hooked up to a TV via a VGA to S-Video converter with the VGA-out through an external monitor, and I am trying to find a way to set vlc or mplayer to open fullscreen in the external monitor by default. Eventually I want to be able to hit enter on a video file and have it play on the TV without any dragging to the external monitor. I have googled around a bit, checked the monitor settings options, and looked through the media player options but so far can't find anything.

I'm trying to launch CoverGloobus (a fantastic little album art and current song display) and Rhythmbox simultaneously through a BASH script. Problem is that when I attempt to run the script the first time, CoverGloobus doesn't launch, but Rhythmbox does. Here's my script as it is right now:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#Opens Rhythmbox and CoverGloobus
rhythmbox && covergloobus
done
I've double-checked the commands in gnome-terminal, and they're the right ones for launching the applications. Here's where it gets odd, though. The second time I run the script, CoverGloobus and Rhythmbox launch simultaneously. I've reproduced this scenario multiple times.

I have two sound cards in my computer. OpenSuSE 11.3 recognizes them both without a problem, and I can play sound through each of them. Is it possible to set one application to use one sound card simultaneously with another sound card routing to a different application? That would be sweet. For example, I have my surround speakers plugged into one sound card, so I can provide music for the whole room, and have my PC speakers next to the monitor playing a movie.

I currently have my desktop setup with two displays, one of them being my living room tv that I run Boxee on. My problem is that all the audio runs through the same speakers preventing me from listening to music or gaming at the same time as when Boxee is in use.
I would like to know if it's possible to split the audio so that an application of my choosing only outputs sound through my headphones. I was thinking it would be possible with some of the controls in pulse, but if it is I cannot figure it out.

I need to creat launcher that launches Terminal into a specific Profile..
I found a website that says that this code will work
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=<Profile_name>
But, I also need to launch to specific Directory also. So, My code looks like this
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Scripts --working-directory /home/mike2/Desktop/Scripts
But it doesnt work.. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, though.

My wish is to launch some programs (chromium, pidgin and xchat on the first virtual desktop and the terminal, the file manager and geany on the second one). I also wish them to have the same size and place than they've had the last time I used them (just to keep them always at the same place). My researches haven't been successful for the moment cause the only idea I found was lxsession-edit which doesn't do exactly what I want..

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 in a computer with a 7200rpm HD, 8Gb Ram, and a Core i7, and the time it takes to load the desktop is insane. There are threads that mention the problem of gnome looking for nonexistent floppy drives and to solve the problem by disabling that in the BIOS (option I don't have). Anyway, besides that problem, by running at startup a gnome-terminal with the iotop command, I noticed that two processes have a huge i/o load on the system: google desktop and ubuntu one. I would like those programs to run as part of the startup process, but be launched after several seconds (to allow the rest of the programs to load). Is there any way I can achieve this? I think there should be a way modifying the commands under startup application, but I cannot find anything that works.

I have downloaded Ubuntu within windows 7, with wubi. It shows itself as Ubuntu 10.10, though I had selected 11.04, not to worry, this is for information only. I downloaded Q Cad, a drawing programme from the Ubuntu software centre and it shows in the list but I do not know how to launch it.I will have to down load some more applications and I think I will run into this wall again. I can enter CLI through Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F7 and probably do nothing more.

I use Firestarter, seems to be a good firewall. But it is a desktop/GUI application, and it requires root access, or rather sudo in Ubuntu. Every time I launch it, I am required to type in my user (not root) password. How can I make it run automatically at startup (KDE) without prompting for a password?

I'm new here, but certainly not new to Linux. Some of you may recognise my screen handle from other forum groups. Sadly my other communities seem to be dying and this one is going strong so here I am! I'm sure there's something I'm doing incorrectly, but here's my scenario:
I have a pair of shell scripts that launch SSH sessions with different forwarded ports, and use them multiple times each day. I'd like to drag the shell script directly onto the top Ubuntu Bar where shortcuts go and be able to use it. Or, even better, put all of my frequently used shell scripts in a "drawer". I know that I used to be able to make a shortcut, and set its path to "gnome-terminal -e file://xx.sh" and the script would run in a new terminal window. When I try to do this, a terminal opens with an error dialog that reads "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". Permissions?

I run 10.10, netbook. Fine so far. I don't manage to call an application that I added manually, though. I have created a menu item, with all subdetails, a proper command, icon, everything. And I can see it in the menu editor, and it is there, even after a reboot. But: How to launch it?? It never shows up under applications, it doesn't show up in Searches, I can't type it in. It does work fine, though, when I open a terminal and add the proper command. It then also shows in the launcher list (left column). But it can't make it 'stick' there, the right-click option does not show in this case.
how to *start* an application that I have added to the menu? Why would a menu item never show as an available application?

I downloaded the tar ball of seamonkey,
copy it to Document folder, unzip it and get a folder named seamonkey.
Everytime to launch it, i open the terminal windows, cd to that directory and type ./seamonkey.
My question is, how to launch it from any where? Just type ./seamonkey and it will run?

I just installed Natty, its ok so far. How can I keep applications from launching full screen? I know if I resize the window below 75% or some thing like that it does not start full screen however I need the window to launch at like 85% and not full screen. This is the most frustrating thing I don't know what Canonical was thinking. I put it in if you have to however make it easy to undo..

This has probably been asked about before.... I would like to start apps in desktop 2, 3 and 4. To start apps during boot, I use two different methods: The .xinitrc file in /home/dan works fine under: "Add your own lines here..." Startup Applications in Gnome | System works well as well. Here, I can enter nautilus /dir and nautilus starts up just fine in that directory. But as I mentioned, I have yet to find a way to direct the program to run in a different desktop other than #1.

How can I achieve this effect?

I installed Crossover Office Pro (full release) which I used on previous version of opensuse, but now it is installed on opensuse 11.4 64 bits. The installation is fine, but the problems begin when I try to launch the application to install windows software.
I get this output:
alienware:/opt/cxoffice/bin # ./cxinstaller
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cxinstaller", line 85, in <module>
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
It has something to do with python I guess but I tried about every possible solution I could find on the internet but nothing works. Any idea's how to fix this error? I tried all option, but no luck so far.

I use ctrl + shift + s to launch synaptic in KDE. That works wonderful and it is standardized on all my systems. I want to define the same in gnome, so that it does not matter if I'm in gnome or KDE.Where can I do this?Now before you start mentioning, I am familiar with keyboard launchers like launchy or gnome do (but have to admit that I don't know that much what gnome do does in all extents), so I am not looking for a program that launches an app after typing a few letters. I want exactly that keyboard combination, everything else will not do it.
I just mention that, because it happens all the time that I see in my posts that I ask:
How can I do B with Y? I don't want to use Z. (specifically asking the question) and then hear as an answer: you can do B with Z!And I am always tempted to answer: That is not what I asked, I asked something specific and got an answer that does not concern it.

I recently installed kinternet from a repository and when I enter Menu -> Applications -> Internet, there is no kinternet application.
I need this, to display the icon in the tray bar, so I can see if Internet is connected or not, and if it isn't I connect clicking on the icon.
