I've searched and read lots about trying to get gnome-shell to run in Virtualbox(v4) with no success on my end. Lots of the posts are outdated and are using Virtualbox 3.
So anyone have any tips or hints for testing the Gnome-shell? (I'd prefer to test in with 10.10 in Virtualbox 4, but am open to upgrading to 11.04 if necessary)
I have ubuntu 10.10 desktop .. and i wanna try The new Gnome shell?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed VirtualBox because I want to test out things like 10.04 and gnome-shell. So, I have downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit .vdi from mininova (and so far I'm assuming that the downloaded file is good), and I've been tooling around with it a bit. It was a bit choppy at times, but that was probably because I was running several other things at the same time. My comp's stats are in my sig (only addressing 2.9 gigs of ram due to the 32-bit kernel), and I think that any choppiness was due to overloading the computer with other things.

So, I have xulrunner-1.9.2 already, so I tried to install 1.9.1 anyway, and it appeared to install, and I now have 1.9.1.9 and 1.9.2.3 installed, but trying to install libgsj0 results in the same error as above.
Python's test case to test uniqueness of uuid.uuid1() in test_uuid.py is failing on wheezy on Virtualbox. However, when I change it to use uuid.uuid4(), it's successful always. I don't have wheezy installed on a bare machine to test.I faced this problem when installing Python 2.7.6 on my virtualbox. This is blocking a successful installation.

I was trying to write a script, but for some reason I can't test two variables using -gt:
a=`expr $currentSize + 0`
b=`expr $fileSize + 0`
[$a -gt $b]
this is what I get:
[22234534: not found
what is the problem? It seems like I can't check if a variable is greater than another but only if a variable is greater than a fixed number. Is that so? By the way the variables $fileSize and $currentSize exist and $a and $b have a value.
Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)
I was looking at this line in an init file:

I'm trying to do the following. from a php webpage click on a link, that opens a shell/cmd and runs an open ping to the device. so it must actually open a shell (for linux) or cmd (for windows) and run a ping to the specified ip. Currently i'm running an exec command, but for this i need to wait for the result to be fetched and print it out. I want to monitor it in realtime, by just clickingon the button. How to get this working?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSome may recall I recently gave up on bash, rather than give up my programming style.Surely I will have reason to return but that's another story. My little issue now:I am debugging a new [Korn] shell script. I have a function that performs a specialized match on a string and I see that I am able to call that function with no problem, with both of it parameters. The function does not do any print or echo command - it uses "return" for a TRUE (0) of FALSE (1), as is the shell exit code convention. Thus, I have the following test:

is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease excuse my ignorance, but I need to get it straight. I've been reading and trying to find out more about these three new desktop environments, but still am rather confused. I have had Unity on my netbook for a couple of months now and know it inside out (more or less by now). The problem is: what is the main difference between Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell?
To my understanding Gnome 3 will be a continuation of the panelled Gnome we are so used to? But then I read the panels will be gone forever, so I'm confused again Gnome Shell is somewhat similar-looking to Unity, but I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet.
Just for some testing on a test non-productive machine, how to allow Gnome login by root user on squeeze?

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

and use the command line tool /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
