I'm trying to run flasm from the terminal prompt but I don't really know what I'm doing.
It may be an incompatible program for all I know but as I don't know how to run any .exe from the Terminal I have no way of knowing.
I've tried entering the directory, as in:
Code:
But it say's the directory doesn't exist. But it does...
Code:
i am trying to wine ratiomaster.exe in fc6 but i get the following message: "install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables"
does anyone knows what to do? ps: no, i cant upgrade fedora but i think this should not be a problem.
I would like to hear about a (telnet) terminal for Linux that can run VB scripts. The need is for configuration of a target board. I like secureCRT very much, but I can not use it from a Linux workstation.

Ive got my webserver linked up to my ubuntu computer, and i want it to act like a server controller (for srcds games or w/e) Basically, When i click the start button, the SSH launches 'css.sh' by doing this 'sh css.sh'... Anyway, the .sh file has this inside it cd sourceds/srcds_1/orangebox clear ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
But either way, that is becides the point. When it launches i dont see the terminal window, its invisible.... (but its running) How do i see it when i go to my ubuntu desktop and how to i put more commands in it once its launched in the background.
either install complete Desktop Environment like Gnome, KDE, Xfce or install Xorg only. Desktop Environments will install a lot of other packages too but xorg will install core packages necessary to run X Server only.
I'm going through the same problem as Tkeins. I recently loaded Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick server, further I loaded KDE also. So while I can run Konquerer from within the KDE, but not the firefox. Further when I try it from console I get the same message 'No Display specified.
When I mistype a name of an executable program in terminal, ubuntu tries to search for similar programs in packages and then suggests names. This takes time, slowing down work and entirely useless for me. How to turn this feature off?
I personally can't even find a reason for implementing this feature and rather making it turned on by default. If someone needs a tool, he/she can search through packages.
i am trying to run an executable file called "q" with ./q but it says

I have a 'bin' directory in my home that contains executables. For example: scandirs.sh.It's in my PATH, so I can just type 'scan{tab}{tab} to run it. But 'which scandirs.sh' returns nothing.

I am building a Terminal Server Client using debootstrap for work. I found a couple post that suggested that I can change my inittab configuration to not load login. However it is my understanding that inittab has been replaced by upstart. I would like to know how to modify upstart so that instead of the user seeing a login: prompt my script is automatically loaded (rrdesktop)(revisedrdesktop) and the user is brought off a live cd to my terminal server.

But other times, I do the same thing, wait for it to load, and it just keeps running! In both cases, I don't get a "user@computer~:$" prompt back after running 'conky' either. That happens sometimes with other things like gedit too..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a bash script to move files around based on various bits of metadata. For a few reasons, this script will be run regularly both from the terminal, and from the nautilus-scripts folder ("graphically", if you will). What I'm stumped on is having the script defer outputs based on which mode the script is running in. For example, how can I have the script know whether to echo error statements, or pump them out to zenity based on the method of invocation?

so i've just been sitting here, compiling and running some c++ programs (with g++ from the terminal), I looked away for one minute to open a file that had just been written out (opened it with gedit if that makes a difference), now my terminal says:kbuildsyscoca4 running...so I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is about?hy it suddenly started running and why it has appeared on my terminal. I'm basically just curious as I though bash shells were entirely separate virtualizations of shells, and unrepresentative of other processes. i'm also wondering what kbuildsyscoca4 is/does (i've got gnome going on and generally gnome varieties of programs). I found a post from about a year ago mentioning the same thing, though no replies.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a momentary power failure My server did not reboot due to a disk error. I rebooted and ran an disk repair and the machine booted fine. Now if I got to the update manager and try to update I get the following error:

Trying to write a script for desktop launchers that are adaptable to screen resolution. Ideally, the program should:
1. Determine screen resolution:
if "a" use xdotool options window size 1305 x 869 px and move to 135,0
if "b" use xdotool options window size 1545 x 1019 px and move to 135,0
2. Check if program running:
if no, open program, and use "a" or "b" placement options, focus window
if yes, focus window
3. Close script and leave program open (if possible).
Problems arise when trying to use the script on programs that run from and hog the terminal
(e.g. brasero, gcalctool, nautilus)
Here the script will load the program, and nothing else (probably because it still occupies the terminal as it runs)
Code:
gcalctool && xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This next command will cause the program to load, move, but it keeps focusing itself like xdotool is running the windowmove function constantly - it keeps focusing itself until script stopped.
Code:
gcalctool & xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This had the same effect as the above code, but seems to work as a conditional subscript running when the process is running in the terminal - it just goes infinitely.
Code:
while [1] ; do xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0 done exit
Is there some kind of "if, then" or "while, do" or some kind of conditional I can put in to the script ensure the window is moved only once if the program is running within the terminal? Is there a way to remove the program from the terminal from the script once it's been called?
I'm wondering why in order to run executables after compilation i have to type >"./executableName" I want it to type it just like >"executableName" (with no "./")

I just installed the xubuntu-desktop package on my netbook (running UNR), and I've got one major complaint about xfce.
I can't right-click on icons in the Applications menu and add them to the launcher!Instead I have to know the location of the executable for the application, so that I can right-click the panel, add a launcher, and then type the location of the executable in and manually select an icon for it...Of course it probably wouldn't be a pain if I could find everything. In Windows, if I want to know the location of a program that's running, I just open Task Manager, right-click the application, and select Properties.
Is there some equivalent or command-line way of finding the location of a running application in Linux?
A few I'd like to know the location of are:
1) Gnome System Monitor
2) Terminal
3) Swiftfox
... and I'll probably think of others.
Even though I'm using XFCE, I figured this fell under the "all variants" category since my main question is just how to find the locations of executables...
I want to install an executeable and I am not sure how to do this. My intuition was to copy the executeable in the /usr/bin folder, but when I call it now, it says permission denied (and obviously I don't want to call the program with sudo every time).
View 3 Replies View Related[using Ubuntu 10.04 - Gnome] I know this is probably a dumb question, but after few years of not using linux i'm back to it and trying to catch up what i already forgot... i'm trying to make a shell script were when all the commands end or when i interrupt it (using ctrl+c) it wont close my terminal window.
i made a test scrip like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo hi there
and created a launcher by right clicking create launcher, selected console application, naming it and putting in the command field: sh "<path to file>/test.sh". (without sh at start it wont work)
so how can i avoid shell window closing after running/terminating the script? and is there any way i can do this by doing something like right click>add new link... i think that in kde it works like that...

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere is text based game in the Ubuntu repos called gomoku (just 5 in a row) it comes with the package bsdgames. The manual page [URL] lists an option (-b) to run it in the background. I want to try that and if I know how it works create a simple graphical front-end. When I start the program with:
Code:
gomoku -b
it starts and remains active, the terminal does not return to prompt which is OK as the command is not finished. The manual says the program reads from stdin, and this might sound stupid but how to get anything there?
I've tried to pipe an echo command to gomoku which works but ends the program after is receives input.
Code:
echo "black" | gomoku -b
just finishes. After that when you type another command like:
Code:
echo "justsometext" | gomoku -b
gomoku tells it expects either black or white as input. So it forgot the previous "black" because it is a new instance.
How do I pass text to an already running gomoku?
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.
