I downloaded The Witcher for windows from Wine and I'm trying to run it but it says I have to run it as the admin the first time the game is ran. I don't know how to run it as admin lol. I've only been using ubuntu for about a week now. If you can let me know how to do it from the terminal AND from shortcuts, that would be great because I'm trying to know what all I can do with ubuntu.
View 6 RepliesI use two separate systems both running Debian 8. On one (my main) I can't do some commands including ping, shutdown and reboot without running them as root user, however on my other system I can ping and reboot as a non-privileged user. The permissions on both systems are the same for /bin/ping and /sbin/systemctl (reboot). I thought at first it was something to do with what groups my main was in, but that doesn't seem to be the gase.
I know I can fix it by setting setuid for both, but my question is why is it different on both machines? Is there a global setting controlling this in /etc or perhaps an icmp setting?
I login as normal user. I can 'su root' fine - password authenticates. However, If I try to run System->Administration->Users/Groups, when it asks for root password, it is rejected. When I run updater, it reports failure to authenticate, but doesn't even ask for root password beforehand. Is there a cached password someplace?

I am using a custom OpenVPN install using 7zip. It installs the program and unzips the keys and configuration files to the correct location. This is being installed by an administrator and needs to work for non admin users. Before there was an issue about not pushing the routes correctly and I am going to get around that by adding the users to the Network Config group which will allow them to add routes but not a whole lot more power. Now I am getting the error "Error opening logfile for writing C:Program FilesOpenVPNlogclient.log.
You probably don't have administrator privileges, which are necessary to run OpenVPN." Is there anyway around this? OpenVPN still works even though this error occurs so is there anyway to just turn the error off (changing verb to 0 does not work) or recompile it to ignore this error? Is there anyway to change the logging location to event viewer or another directory such as C:Users\%currentuser%OpenVPN.log (when I try to do this with log or log-append option it throws another error and doesn't work so I would prefer event viewer so there wouldn't be any permission issues).
I installed an RPG platform (Fantasy Grounds) on my system via Win7. Once installed, and known to be working, I logged off Win and back to Ubuntu and ran the program via Wine. Once it starts, I hear my PC rev up, see the system monitor crank up the CPU and see that "Fantasy Grounds" is running and using about 40% of my CPU usage... but I don't see it. There is no GUI, no nothing. I can end process and the CPU drops down to normal. Anyone have any idea as to why a program would be running, but I have no visible evidence that it is?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a problem with cron. I have a python program that checks a specific directory for pending email scripts written in python.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
emaildir = os.environ['HOME']+"/email/"
filelist = os.listdir(emaildir)
for pyfile in filelist:
if pyfile.find(".py") > -1:
execfile(emaildir+pyfile)
This code has been tested and works fine. The problem is that I need cron to run this code every 5 minutes but i can't tell if it is running: Here is my cron code:
5 * * * * /home/username/custom/CheckEmail.py >>/home/username/custom/email.log 2>&1
I activated the log (I think) but all i get is /var/log/cron.log and that only logs when I activate/deactivate or edit the cron file. is there anything else i need to set for this to work? I am running Ubuntu 9.10.
Is there a file that can be opened and a program name searched for? If it is there, the program is running, else it is not.
Something like that?
I have a program that stops periodically. If I could run a script every 30 minutes or so to check the hypothetical file, it could re-start the program if the program had stopped running.
I want to use a program, that runs windows and "linux with mono". I run Kubuntu 10.10.

i am trying to daemonize my (java) program on ubuntu. For that end i created a script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton script which obviously uses start-stop-daemon.
But I cannot make the process (java program) run on the background. it keeps running in the same terminal i start my daemon script. Trying --background option for start-stop-daemon does not help.
I am using a small ubuntu command-line only distro (Ubuntu Mini Remix) to run off of a LiveCD or USB stick. I need it to run a program as root as soon as it is finished booting, automatically. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it run my program. I have tried putting a script into rc2.d (when I type runlevel at the command line, it tells me it is level 2) that simply contained:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
qct
(qct is the name of my program)
I did the chmod u+x on the script. It does not run my program, though. I have no idea if it was a naming issue or not. I do not understand the naming scheme.When it boots, and doesn't run my program, I can type sudo qct at the command prompt and it runs fine.
I've downloaded and installed WINE, works well with most windows programs I run. I recently downloaded a program called METT (micro expression training tool), and apparently it needs a disc to be ran. Well, I installed KISO and mounted the image there, but I still can't get it to run.

It 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?

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 3 Replies View RelatedI have a program I have made, and I would like it to run as soon as the system is finished booting. I am using Ubuntu Mini Remix to recreate a LiveCD/USB stick.

How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm running Skype 2.1 (Beta). Whenever I "x" out of the Skype program, from what I can tell it's minimizing the Skype program and not actually terminating the thread (just as it does in Windows), however when I "x" out of Skype the icon is not showing up in the system tray (but it does in Windows). So one would think that it's not running, however if I try to re-launch Skype I get an error message stating: Another Skype Instance May Exist.
I confirm this by going to System > Administration > System Monitor and sure enough, Skype is running. So if I "x" out of the program, how do I switch back to it because it's not showing up in the system tray? One last thing : Alt+Tab does not work. It will list the other programs running, but not Skype, despite the fact that it is running.
Usually 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.
