Ubuntu :: Put In Synaptic The Cli Command To Start An Application
Jan 7, 2010
After having installed a certain programme, in my experience it can sometimes be slightly boring if you want to start the application from the terminal, but you can't figure out the right command, which to my knowledge is not always the same as the exact name of the application.
- Is there a way that I do not know to find this "start-up" command ? - Would it be convenient to include this command with the short description of the application as given in Synaptic (shown when selecting a programme in synaptic before marking it for installation etc.)
I opend terminal and typed the command.. sudo apt-get install torcs While downloading was in process I accidentally closed the terminal clicking X on the windows. I cant open synaptic Package manger when I try to open it says: "This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first". How can I close that apt-get application?
I have Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 installed. When I try to start the Synaptic Package Manager it attempts to start and then quits. I have tried running it through terminal and get the following output.
roy@Bastard:~$ sudo synaptic sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
I get the same output for sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade.
I have put som programs in System -> Preferences -> Startup. That works fine, except that Synaptic starts without asking for a password, and therefor also without superuser privileges.Is there a way I can change the command so that it will ask for a password?
Interested in trialing Varkon and used Synaptic Package Manager to download and install. According to the [url]...nstalling.html it should be there under 'Applications'. I've looked through them all and no sign of Varkon. I've also tried to see if Varkon was installed so I looked via Ubuntu Software Center under installed software. No sign. Did a file search for Varkon.
This is what I get when trying to start synaptic: E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I admit fooling around with trying to install nautilus elementary, not really knowing what I was doing, and now things are all messed up.

I want to monitor my work on the terminal.I know we can use script command.But every time when I start the terminal, I have to type script to start it.I want to automate it. So where should I include this command so that it will start as soon as I start the terminal ?
MY WORK TILL NOW: I have put this "script" command in the .profile.The when I start the terminal, it became an INFINITE LOOP.I am able to "echo".Thats coming only once.....but if I write a "script" command then it is becoming an INFINITE LOOP.
I have a binary application that runs only in shell, now I want to open it from another application(Mathematica program) but simply invoking it will start it in memory but not in a shell.
I tryed "bash app" which does not work and "gnome-terminal app" just opens the terminal without launching that application.
Ps: Its the same thing as in Java when you want to invoke a system command like ping but you need to do it like this .exec("cmd ping") instead of just ping.
I have the open source version of Rise of the Triad for linux. If I open rott in a terminal then I go tp the directory where the file is standing and do ./rott.

How would one go about making an application start up on boot with terminal? I have a VPS that is ubuntu 8.04, and have command line access. I already compiled the application.
I accidentally deleted my bin just after booting up when the bin application failed to start properly. I can still send items to trash (right clicking and select from drop down menu) but I cannot restore them, see the bin icon or drag items to the bin area. It is quite annoying and I would be very grateful for comprehensive instructions on how to restore the bin to full operational functionality.
I forgot to run a GUI process on a remote computer. I need to run the application as if I was at the computer i.e the application needs to open on the desktop on the remote computer.
I can connect to the computer through an ssh tunnel via another computer at the remote site and run non GUI based processes using Screen or bring some GUI programs to the computer I'm working from using the ssh -X option, however, this is not what I'm looking to do.
On Windows I used to use a program from sysinterns called PsExec which would let me start applications such as Word on the remote computer and I'm hoping that there is something similar on Linux.
I want to install a 64bit-only application in my wine.But every time i try to load the installer it says that it only works on a 64bit-system.Iv'e tried the 32-version of the app and it works fine.I heard that since version 1.2 wine is able to support 64bits.But how do I force wine to load an app in 64bit-mode? I'm guessing there is an option to the wine command or something. But what is it? can't find anything in the man-page. And a google on the subject only brings up old posts from people who are trying to install wine in 64bit-ubuntu...
I have Thunderbird installed and I really enjoy it as an application. I would like to set Thunderbird to start on boot. I tried to locate the binary for it in /usr/bin/ but was not able to. Has anyone done this before or does anyone know how I might go about locating the binary for it?
I just installed the miro internet tv application using yast on my openSUSE 11.2 and I cannot start it.
Running the miro application from console gives me the following output:

I'd like to make regular backups of my flash drives, but I don't plug them in regularly. Because of this, I can't just use a scheduled backup application to back them up. Does anyone know of an incremental backup application that will automatically run backups on media as soon as it's mounted?
I have download many applications that run from the terminal. and I can not access them directly from my computer without remember the name of the application and type it into the terminal. Some of them are just the name of the application but some of them are many commands into one line. So is there any way to add them under the application menu or desktop? I tried the luncher but it does not work.
I want to configure my keyboard shortcuts, but I need to get the commands for certain applications in the list. How do I do this? It appears I can't right click any icons that come up when I search for them.

Through YaST's System Services I configured an application to start on boot. However, the application (mediatomb) is using mysql, so it should not be started before mysql. It is however, which means mediatomb fails to start.
How can I make sure mysql is started before mediatomb?
I'm trying to control the access in my server. I did an application that can read audit logs and sys logs with the purpose to send me a report by email with important information about the user. It's a SH file. My problem is start the program when someone makes a ssh connection.
I've been trying to make a cgi script that starts a program on a server and then shows the program on the servers screen. The cgi script is written in perl. I've been successful in making the program showing up on the screen through ssh by setting $DISPLAY to :0.0, I tried setting it to this in /etc/profile but when the cgi script ran nothing showed up on the screen. I tried having the script running it as a local user with "su - [user] -c [command]", this didn't help either.
In short what I'm trying to accomplish. When I press a button on a web page an slide show is supposed to start on a screen connected to the server.
