When I try to run a program from the terminal, bash reports "No such file or directory", even though the file exists, is executable and I have permission to run it. The same program worked in the past.

I have a C program that can run disconnected ( like most ), is there a programmatical way to tel if the program is running without a terminal? Example:nohup my-program &What I want is to modify the program so it can be used as a HUB interface. It does Peer to Peer communication and I want to make it a server function with a command line option.Currently if I disconnect the program, it will loop on the read for stdin, I need to be able to detect that and go into 'HUB' mode.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt really bothers me that when I start a program through the terminal it takes up space with the terminal that's tied up with the program, and the program itself. I know how to keep it from tying up the terminal, but when it devotes the terminal, I like that it gives output if the program crashes. Is there a way I can set a terminal to completely hide itself (off the desktop and the taskbar) while it's running a program, then reappear once the program is closed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUsually I open 5 terminals. And since each of those 5 terminals prints it's tile as: "username@username-laptop: ~" It becomes very hard to see what is what. So, I would like my terminal to always change it's title automatically to the program that I am currently using.
So, if I type "irssi", the title of my gnome-terminal-window, should change to: "irssi" for example.
I am running Linux Mint 9..I play xbox live and run it through my laptops wireless network connection so i dont have to pay 100 dollars for the usb wireless adapter for the xbox. In windows 7 this is easy to configure so that when i turn my laptop on and then xbox it automatically connects.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am using DreamLinux. I have pinned a program, that runs in terminal, to the launcher in the panel on desktop. The program's executable file (name: feap) is located in /home/User/feap2.2 After I added the launcher to the panel that runs the file in terminal, the program asks for the input file (text file with alot of commands) when run. By default the program accepts the files that are located in the same directory i.e. /feap2.2 , so I placed the input file in the same directory.
However when I run the program from the panel, and give the input file name, it says no such file exists. Then I gave the file name with full path, but problem was not solved. I have tried alot e.g. placed the input file at other locations, but all in vain. I have set all input file permissions to be accessible by User as well. I will be much relieved if someone suggests where to place the input file for the such program running in the terminal launched from panels?
P.S: If I open terminal, go to the directory (/home/User/feap2.2), run the program's exe file, and then give the file name, it accepts the input file and it give results.
Is there any program/script that can create a torrent file for each file in a directory? I have been looking all over but can't seem to find anything of the sort. I have 700+ files I REALLY don't want to make my self.

How do i extract a file to a program directory ?
YEA stupid question but im used to windows and im trying to learn ubuntu so far i love it just hitting bumps..
I want to extract
xbmc to
.xbmc/plugins/program directory
i downloaded the file, but when it comes to extracting im lost, because i cannot access the root ? is that were it is ?
is a file association to a program that will only run in it's own directory. (Arobas' Guitar Pro, if you're curious). The link created by the installer leads to a shell script, which cd's to /opt/GuitarPro6, then executes the program there. Attempting to call the program from outside that directory fails, as the program cannot find it's libraries. It starts normally otherwise.
Passing a file name to the program via the command line works fine, IF you start with the working directory as above. The question is, what can I do to pass the filename to the command line in the shell script, so that double-clicking in Nautilus brings up the program with the file? (Currently, just associating with the shell script gives me the program, with no loaded file).
Second issue is files with an .hjt extension. They're essentially text files, following a specific format used by Treepad. Nautilus recognizes them as text files. When I change their association to Treepad, regular .txt files follow this change, and when I change the .txt's back to Leafpad, the .hjt's follow. How can I separate the .hjt's from the .txt's?

View 14 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how I can make a program run automatically when a file appears in a particular directory? I have two computers, one to program the firmware on a microcontroller (command line only), and the other is my desktop machine running Ubuntu. I have an NFS share between the two. What I want is to be able to drop a new firmware load into the shared directory from the desktop, and have the other computer notice it and program the microcontroller with it. Right now I have to open an SSH session to the other computer, run the program manually, and then delete the file. I would like to automate all of that.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAtleast I think it's a terminal program. I remember several years ago while using Redhat 7 when working in the terminal it would automatically complete the pathnames and filenames for you. If I was typing in the terminal "cd downloads" but I only typed "cd do" it would automatically complete my command with "cd documents" but if I continued to type "cd dow" it would know that I don't mean the documents folder and it would know the only other folder path with a dow in it is downloads. I'm not sure if my description is 100% accurate but I think you get the idea. Ubuntu doesn't seem to have this by default and I'm curious if I can get it. Is it a terminal program/client I need to use, or just an option? I don't know what it's called so I've had a hard time googling for it!

I have got four webservers and one fileserver, all running Karmic and kernel 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux.A folder on the fileserver has been exported using NFSv3 with these options: rw,async,no_subtree_check
and mounted on all four webservers with these options: efaults,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,noatimeThe webservers run Apache+PHP+APC. Some php-files include other php-files from the nfs mount, and are requested by users very frequently (~ 100 times per second). Sometimes but not always if I alter an included php-file using FTP (the FTP server is ProFTPD and runs on the fileserver), the file seems missing:user@webserver1: ~ $ ls --full-time -al /path/to/included/file.phpls: cannot access /path/to/included/file.php: No such file or directoryI can repeat this command for hours, but the file keeps missing.

I need to install a package. For that I need root access. However the system says that I am not in sudoers file. When trying to edit one, it complains alike! How I am supposed to add myself to the sudoers file if I don't have the right to edit one? I have installed this system and only administrator. What can I do?
Edit: I have tried visudo already. It requires me to be in sudoers in the first place.
amarzaya@linux-debian-gnu:/$ sudo /usr/sbin/visudo
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

amarzaya is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

There is a centralized FTP server which are accessed by clients to develop some web development project and to achieve this the clients are using ftp service. The problem is when they are trying to copy any files and directories they are getting the following error: "Message reported from the file system: FTP copy not supported,use move instead"
I've checked all the permissions and they are all OK. I don't know why this is happening. they can create and move files and folders but can't copy files and folders.
I'd like to run a program [URL] from the GUI menu (yes, I know I can run it from the command line). I've gotten this to work by using a menu entry (see attached screenshot).The command is:
Code:
gksu chkrootkit
with the option for Type: was selected as Application in Terminal However, when chkrootkit is finished, the terminal immediately snaps shut according to the profile selection: When Commands Exits: Close terminal What I'd like to do is create another profile that causes the terminal to be held open (see screenshot) when the command exits and be able to choose that profile from the GUI Menu entry. I believe the command when using the CLI is:
Code:
gnome-terminal --profile=<profile_name>
how do I incorporate this within the Command entry line of the launcher?

I found a tool made for Ubuntu called Xautoclick. I downloaded it and it is called "xautoclick-0.30.tar.gz" The installation notes say "tallatBe sure you have the proper development packages for your distribution installed (i.e. something like xserver-xorg-dev, gtk2-dev, et cetera).

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn System Monitor, on the File Systems tab, the "Total", "Available" and "Used" columns don't seem to add up, and the "Used" percentage doesn't seem correct either.
My config:
/dev/sda1 = 80 GB SSD drive, / partition.
/dev/sdb1 = 50 GB FAT32 partition of an external 500 GB USB hard disk.
/dev/sdb2 = remainder of the 500 GB USB hard disk encrypted using luks.
Screenshot: The /dev/sda1 figures don't really add up well, but they're close at least (how you get "50% Used" from any of those figures I don't know!).
However, for /dev/sdb2, they're miles off:

I want to do the following.
1. have a directory full of subdirectory
2. Pick the first file from every sub and copy that to the main directory and also rename that file to the same name as the subdirectory's name
3. need to work in commandline best is a simple script.
I've done a low level format on them so they're completely empty. When I use them with my windows machines, they're absolutely fine. When I plug them into my Ubuntu machine, there is a hidden directory created called 'RECYCLER' which I'm assuming is for deleted files?However, it also creates a .exe file in this directory called 0x2D9FA278 which has an Icon with an H in it and a comment of 'Facebook Photo' This has the effect of making all the directories on the stick into shortcuts! I googled the file name and it seems to be some sort of Trojan, but I don't understand how it's go into my Ubuntu machine, I've scanned with ClamAV and it finds nothing.
