and got the same error as before.Has either or both dbus-launch or gksudo changed their behavior os is this a bug. Note that the command does not work with any applications being run as the user gdm.
I have 4 workspaces set up and they appear on the bottom menu bar. Usually I can switch to each and see what's running in each, even if the apps are minimised. Now I can only see what hasn't been minimised, and I can't see or return to the ones that are minimised... System Monitor shows the minimised apps are running... I was poking around gconf editor late the other night and I must have altered a setting but I have no idea which. I've looked through docs etc but can't find a solution.
After downloading a Chrome (for Linux of course) installation package via FireFox. Opening it from Downloads, entering the Administrator password. Then clicking on the " Install Package " button in the " Package Installer " window, I get a message: "Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time, please close the other application 'synaptic', 'aptitude', or 'update manager' first." I see no evidence of these apps or any others running & I got rid of the Firefox. Are these " Other Apps " hidden somewhere, how do I determine this?
I really do not know how to phrase this question properly. I am quite unaware of the PC jargon. But I have Ubuntu as the main OS and Mandriva is the second OS on the same hard disk. The boot loader is the Ubuntu. When I want to switch to Mandriva, on boot up I press Shift and then select the kernel.However, if I am on Ubuntu and want to run an application which resides on Mandriva, how do I do that? My fstab file does not even mention Mandriva. However, the file system does show up that file and I can open any files I need by clicking on GUI "Places". But when I try to run any of its applications by clicking the appropriate file on its /bin file nothing happens. A pop-up window briefly flashes and disappears. So my questions are:
1. First how can I change directory so that I am on Mandriva. Can' cd ...something' take me to that file because I see it in "Places" as a 36Gb file system? 2. How can I run an application which resides on that file system e.g., R or Octave which I do not have installed on Ubuntu, without rebooting into Mandriva. 3. Can I do this from command line. 4. And finally, can I do the same from Mandriva i.e., access Ubuntu from it.
I did read quite a bit about mounting files and fstab, but the fstab does not show the file system I am talking about. These are the outputs from Ubuntu os.
how to configure X11 forwadring over SSH so, that when I open any app over SSH, I get displayed window of a process that is already running on my server (in case its running ), not a new instance of it.
I have lucid and jack almost the way I want. I can't get apps like flash (in firefox) and rhythmbox to run through JACK. I've followed some outdated guides on the forums here, but I haven't had any luck.
I set up gstreamer to use jackaudiosink, but no luck.
If you ask me, JACK + ALSA should be the default, with maybe a simplified or automated control system for people who don't want to exploit their might
I hate having to close up a massive JACK patch just to watch a quick movie, or having to close Pidgin so JACK will start.
I've just installed KDE on to my regular Ubuntu 10:04 install and thats all good and well but now when I run my fav GNOME apps in KDE, they look old fashioned like some from Win 95 or 98 type thing. Do I have to install additional GNOME Libraries and if so which ones?
What are the ways to check the CPU/memory utilization on my headless torrent box on Seagate DockStar? Besides rtorrent and sabnzbd, I also have Asterisk running on it for occasional telephone calls.
Im comming from ubuntu/mint and one of the things I got used too was doing something like "sudo nautilus" or "sudo gedit" and similar things. In Suse 11.3 I always get errors like the following
(gedit:6115): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: kate: cannot connect to X server Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:
or similar variations of these.What can I so to prevent this from happening? even if I do "su" and try from there it doesnt always work.I like Suse as it feels more professional then ubuntu, but I am trying to make it as user friendly.
I had some problems which were were already as bugs on which kde4.4.4 crashed and since than I lost this functionality. I cannot say if I have any apps running if they were all minimized as they don't appear on the taskbar. I can switch through them via Alt-Tab.
There are some apps for win that run on wine just with an ordinary install procedure. There are others that will never work at all. But there are also some that wine users claim to have made run by changing some specific configuration of wine, using some trick or even creating scripts on playonlinux.
So if I try to run an app on wine and it doesn't and I don't find any user documentation about some specific trick or config for that app what adjustments can I do to try to make it run? I mean, it's tiring and perhaps foolish to spend hours playing with every possible config in wine frontend without knowing what I'm doing. So what can I do to find out what libraries, configs, tricks or scripts are needeed to make an app run under wine if it didn't at the first try?
I have a simple home network consisting of 2 laptops - one is a linux box and the other runs windows and linux with a dual boot setup.I develop my web apps on the linux box but would like to test them out on the windows machine using IE7. I have abandoned the idea of doing this in Linux using wine since in the real world this is unrealistic
I have Songbird running on another display on the same machine as my Mythtv frontend but while the frontend is running, audio seems to be disabled for it and other applications. I assume that this is because Mythtv suspends Pulse audio.
Is it possible to make this work without enabling pulse audio?
I'm trying to run a library compiled in a 32bit Linux (CentOS) environment on my Fedora11 64bit image. I ran into a few issues with dependencies such as gcc, xml2, ssl plus a whole stack more that existed in /lib64 and no/lib where the binary was expecting them. After a bit of reading around, I found I needed to install the .i586 version of each of the dependencies. After adding most of them, I was left with libssl, libcrypto and libxml2. When I tried to do the following
Code:
yum install openssl.i586
I got an error stating it could not be copied due to a conflict with the i686 version. I was going to erase the i686 but it was going to remove a ton of other stuff so I created a symbolic link in /lib to point to 64bit version. Eventually, ldd had no missing dependencies so I figured I was good to go. I now get the following errors when I call my library
./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so) ./SupervisionServer: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /lib/libphp5.so) ./SupervisionServer: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpalo_ng.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
PHP is installed and working and the libpalo_ng.so.0 is in the /lib folder
I want to write something that will run apps in succession.For example, you'd click on the app icon,and it would start up one application, have questions alert the user to add a file to do something in that program, run that program & finish. Then open up another program to take that file and prompt the user to do something else with it, and so on.Basically I have a friend who needs an auto, completely easy interface to accomplish certain tasks that require multiple application steps to perform.
I've just installed Debian 5.0.1 (i386; network install) and I've run into a bizarre issue that I have no idea how to troubleshoot. If I log on as (e.g.) User1, log off, and then try to log on again as User2, X-based (i.e. not terminal) software will fail to load until I reboot. After logging on as User2, all X software (including the Gnome interface) will display its interface for a fraction of a second before vanishing from the screen and the task bar. One time the Gnome interface wouldn't load after log-on: the taskbar and menubar repeatedly flashed on and off the screen as Gnome repeatedly tried and failed to load.
How can I track down what's using my nic and kill it (if appropriate). There are no applications running which might be authorized to send and receive packages, so I don't really know why the System Monitor shows network activity.
I'm somewhat knew to Linux (CentOS), so WINE is completely foreign to me also. I'm immediately interested in TaxAct, which is how I learned about WINE. My question is whether my system will maintain the same stability that Linux is known for, and whether my CentOS build will keep it's current RHEL integrity after I install WINE, and probably other Windows Apps. Your experience with WINE is coveted.
I'm running a java app when my specific user (not root) login. It's running fine.The problem is that profile.local are calling my app twice ... The first call, it's blocking Linux environment until I close java app. After that, occurs the second call, then it's free Linux for usage.I tried to change my java app for gedit, and I can see the problem too.I tried with profile.local and /home/<my user>/.profile, the result is the same.
Using opensuse 11.1 64 bit with kde 4.1.3, apps like k3b, or any multimedia apps can not see the optical drives unless I run the apps as root. I also found that to run bladeenc, I have to do it in a root terminal. Is there a way to set permissions for the normal user? Firefox or any text editor work fine as normal user.
For the longest time DVD and MP3 playback have haunted me. I fully understand the idea behind open source and not packaging the codecs with the OS. My question is this: I am running openSUSE 11.2 on my lappy. When I try to follow steps online to install all the necessary codecs, plugins and applications. I always seem to run into dependency problems. Can ANYONE out there give a step by step walk through of installing and running all the necessary files, codecs, apps. from a fresh install that has worked for them to get media to work in suse 11.2? For the sake of example and trying to get this process done right lets assume that I have installed suse fresh on my system and want to play DVD's and listen to MP3's.
I have three boxes with lenny debian recently installed. I'd like to be able to display X apps running on host1 and displaying on host2. "xhost +" would do the trick for me if I could get it to work but as far as I can tell it does nothing. (BTW, I'm aware of the security risks. This is not a concern for me. I'm safely behind a good firewall. I'm also aware of "ssh -X" but that won't quite solve my problem. See the long version below.) I suspect that Debian secures the xhost command out of the box in some way but I can't seem to figure out what it is. If that is true and someone can show me how to reset it, or direct me to appropriate documentation I think that would solve my problem.
Here's the long version:
What I really want to do is play xbattle with my kids but I need to be able to display the board to three different screens. In xbattle the command line is: % xbattle -red me -blue host1:0 -green host2:0 {and more stuff of no consequence to my question}
This opens a game board for player red locally, player blue on host1 and player green on host2. Or at least it should. If there is a way to make this work with "ssh -X" (or anything else for that matter) I'll be happy to use that instead, but so far as I can tell "ssh -X" only lets me redirect the display back to the one I ssh'd from whereas I need to direct to multiple displays to run xbattle.
Im running suse 11.2 on a gateway lt3103u during boot i noticed the screen goes dim. i thought nothing of it untill i tried to watch *ahem* educational video *ahem*. ive found that no matter what program i use xine vlc or anything else that video sets the screen to dim as if it were in power saving mode. this problem also occurs when i close the lid. it locks the screen into dim mode. in both cases i can use both Fn keys and the power management widget to reset it to bright, but this problem is annoying having to keep turning it back u to see.
I have two internal partitions that I auto-mount at startup using fstab. This works fine & I can unmount/mount as a normal user no problem in the terminal (umount /dev/sdb1) but using thunar (or nautilus) I receive a message saying "not authorised to perform operation" (I use the DWM window manager, in gnome it pops up with a password prompt).
If I open thunar as root then I can mount/unmount.
The strange thing is I can mount/unmount usb sticks or mtp devices as a normal user no probs from thunar! So, I'm assuming it must be my fstab that's the problem?
I am writing a simple application that will run as user foo (i.e. Ubuntu user foo).However, the application will connect to my database as (database user foobar). IIRC, database users have nothing to do with Linux system users - but I just need to clarify that.So can an app launched to run as user 'foo', connect to a database as user 'foobar'?
Is It possible to change a process running in root-user to non-root-user by setting suid / uid / euid / gid etc... I so please instruct how, when and wat to set in order to change a process running in root-user to non-root user
Some minimized apps no longer appear in the top menu and by that are no longer accessible.For example firefox with the minimize addon or Jungel Disk backup service.How can I reach apps that minimized them self and are not shown in the top menu?
