Is it possible to instruct Ubuntu to start up (GUI) Graphical User Interface mode from (CLI) Command Line Interface mode? In the old days, you can type "win" in DOS to get into Windows - something along that line. Is it possible for Ubuntu in this case?
Yes, you can reboot to switch between the modes, but shouldn't there be a command for this?

In Windows, if I have a console window open, type winmine, and press enter, Minesweeper will appear, completely separate from the cmd program. The Minesweeper instance is not tied to the command prompt in any way that I know of, with the exception of Minesweeper's parent being set to that instance of the command prompt. It's different in Linux, however.
In Linux, if I have a console window open, type emacs and press enter, Emacs will open, but it seems tied to the command line. Specifically, it appears that I can't use the command line anymore until that instance of Emacs is closed. Is there a way to replicate the Windows behavior in Linux?

I just booted into Linux and the Update Manager prompted me to restart. After the restart the GRUB interface I expect to see is no longer there and now it is just a command line that says press tab for more options.I have not got a clue with shell language as I have had no time to learn it as of yet. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Linux or is there a command that can be typed that boots up the operating system.Even better is there something I can do that can return me to seeing the interface like I was used to.

Last night my system rebooted and dropped screen resolution to 800*600. I was unable to change that from no where. I tried to install nvidia driver and now no gui, only command line. Starting xorg by using 'startx' fails. How I can get back to normal with normal resolution?At the moment I am logged in via live cd. Let me know if any log files needed (if I can locate those).

I'm trying to automate two command lines, a synclient and a syndaemon. They both work well if I type them manually in a terminal, but if I do a littre script to do this, tap to click and scrolling don't work anymore.
This is the script I wrote:
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
syndaemon -d -t -K
exit 0
So I made a chmod +x on the file, placed it in ~/bin then change PATH to include the directory. Then I added this file in "Startup applications".
The scripts run ok, mais it has a different effect than if I run the commands manually.

I've been searching for hours now on how to start compiz from command line and configure the plugins. I just want to use the compiz core package in Slackware (no add-ons for now). I've figured out starting compiz
Code:
compiz --replace
and the windows decorator
Code:
gtk-window-decorator --replace
kde-window-decorator --replace
for gtk based or kde respectively. I know how to start the plugins (by putting their names in the compiz command), but not what all of their command line names are.
What I'm looking for is all the console names of the base plugins (and eventually the others too), the order they need to be started in (if any), how to automatically start compiz when X starts, and how to change plugin settings (all without ccsm). How to do the above stuff without the use of a graphical tool.

I'm wanting to be able to run the Open Suse start menu from the command line.king remotely, I have found that I have faster response time by only running specific X components instead of an entire desktop (particularly useful under Windows 7 Cygwin). Specifically, I'd like to invoke the start menu from a ssh command line.On Linux Mint,line command is:mintmenuWhat is the equivalent command to bring up the Slab Start Menu on Open Suse?

I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,

sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.

I am trying to attach my server to 2 diferent networks, with fixed ip addresses,
eth0 = 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.0.1. This is currently working, and I can ssh o the machine on this address
eth1 = 192.168.150.5 255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.168.150.1
When I try and start eth1 with ifconfig eth1 up, I get the error message "eth1: unknown interface: no such device"
I have configured eth1 using system-config-network-tui and /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 looks correct
GATEWAY=192.168.150.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none

I have a problem with YaST Partitioner. When I launch it, a window opens, a dialog (to confirm that I know what I am doing) pop-ups, I choose "Yes", the application starts to initialize, and after 0.5-1s the window is closed without any error message. Does anybody know how to at least find out what is wrong? .. or how to launch it from command line to get some output?

Everything is plain and simple. I want to know what's the least painful way to control vlc from local command line while having GUI as well?
I would like to e.g. use something like "vlc --pause" in one of my bash scripts to pause music if something hapens. So rc interface is useless, is it not?
not making a thorough search on this as the irrelevance of results is beneath me... Well actually I have made it but it was a while ago and to no avail since the new vlc shipped with karmic got rid of the old http interface which allowed to do this just by using wget on an url....

you longed to listen to your favorite sirius XM satellite radio without the annoying popup every 90ish minutes. And if you were like me, you missed sipie, an application that allowed you to stream sirius via a command line. Since sipie has been flakey, some people have decided to start a new project on GITHUB, called pyxis, and I have to say, after installing (which is a breeze), it is working perfectly. I am excited to have my sirius back up and running strong from the command line.
[Code]...
note, I have no affiliation with the development team, I just thought that this very handy application deserved to be recognized.

How do I save it as a jpg somewhere on my puter using a script? I can wget, but it gets saved as a .evif, which is totally useless. I can right-click on the image in a browser and use the context menu to save it as a jpg, but I want this process automated. How can I DL this image and save it as a jpg? GIMP's CL options don't include the capacity to save/convert this image, though it's possible from teh GUI. ImageMagick won't read this dynamic URL. What do I do?

My guess is it starts: phatch -vkc --desktop [action] [path]

I wanted to share this nifty technique I came across for capturing video using the command line. The problem: I have a bunch of old VHS tapes (remember those...?) and need to get them digitized. I have a VCR, and a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge which captures video to DV over Firewire (IEEE1394). I first tried using Final Cut Pro, but it wouldn't capture, perhaps because it expects a controllable DV camera, and the Dazzle isn't a DVC device. I then tried my other favorite video editing app, Kdenlive, but it seemed to have the same problem.
I took a quick stab at the other common editors in the repositories (Kino, Openshot, etc.), but no luck with any of them. Then I remembered the dvgrab command, and gave that a shot and it worked, giving me a nice .dv file. However, DV makes pretty big files, which I wanted to compress down to something more manageable. Since I was going to be digitizing hours and hours of tapes, it would be great if I could compress while capturing. A little more googling and I had the answer - you can pipe dvgrab directly into ffmpeg! Here's the command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k -y output.mov
the first part starts the capture, in DV1 format, and outputs it to a pipe file. usually you give dvgrab a filename, like
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 capture.dv
the second part does the encoding:
-f dv: use DV format
-i -: input from the pipe
-b 2000k: video encoding bitrate of 2000k/sec, high quality
-ab 512k: audio encoding bitrate
-y: overwrite file if it exists
I didn't set the codec explicitly, for Quicktime it defaults to MPEG4. This worked great, capturing a 2-hour tape into a high-quality quicktime around 2GB. But I also wanted to be able to view the capture while it was going. Since I left the field monitors and audio splitters at the office, I had to figure out how to do this in software. Turns out that the "tee" command does exactly what I needed - the shell never ceases to amaze! Here's the full command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | tee >(ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k output.mov) >(playdv --disable-audio --no-mmap)
tee uses the
Code:
>(command)
syntax to pipe simultaneously to multiple processes. The only thing that didn't work was audio playback, which was choppy and introduced errors in the capture file. I think a little tweaking with the capture rates could fix that.

(1) I'm wondering if there is a way to have abcde play the songs while it is encoding? I understand that this would be a lot slower.
(2) Is it possible to have abcde start playing right after it finishes ripping the first track and then have it add on the other tracks to the playlist as it rips them.
Is there anyway to do one or both of these from the command line or with abcde's built-in options?
