Ubuntu :: Task-bar Is Set To Background Pattern Which Gives It OSX Look
Apr 24, 2010
I'm fairly new to the Ubuntu world but have been simply amazed by what it can do. Someone told me to install Mac4Lin after I was done and I've done that. The desktop looks a lot more like a Mac especially after installing AWN. I do have a bit of a problem and would be very grateful for any assistance here. My taskbar is set to a background pattern which gives it the OSX look. However, towards the left side where the menu's reside, there is a bit which does not show the background pattern and instead has a dull grey color. I've been searching around for where I can tweak that bit to also have the the same pattern as the taskbar but have had no luck. Attached is a screenshot.

I'm trying to figure out how to continue execution of a Python program while a background task is going on.
In bash, it is adding "&" to the end as in:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
find / -iname "*.py" > /tmp/all_pys &
echo "looking for all python scripts and putting them in /tmp/all_pys"
(yes, I know I could just put the echo BEFORE the find but I just use it for example)
Say I do that in python (not necessarily running the shell, but perhaps using scriptutil.ffind or something similar), but want to allow the user to be doing something else while running that search in the background, how would I thread, fork, subprocess (not to be confused with the module and Popen) [or whatever I should call it] that?

I have to enhance the behaviour of a backup script written in perl. I don't need to change it, what I need to do is to create a bash script that does some checks like file name and file size, execute the backup script then check if the backup files match the original files.Here's how I try to do it:
- read the files from the original files folder
- store them in an array
- search in the array the files that have a specific file extension
- store the file names that match the search pattern (I know the backup script skips some files so I can hardcode the search pattern)
- run the backup script
- read the files from the backup folder
- store them in an array
- compare the original files name and size stored in an array with those from the backup folder
- send a report email

I'm writing a bash script to search html files, and when I find any occurrence of an img src tag like this:
<img src="123-picture-normal.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">
I want to add a second line below it that looks like:
<img src="123-picture-thumbnail.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">
All I need to do is duplicate the line but replace "normal" with "thumbnail"
Each file can have multiple img src tags with different numbered jpgs.
I have a feeling this is a job for sed, but I'm struggling with it. Any ideas?

I want to go through a log file and find pattern1 and then a pattern2 only after pattern 1.So for example I want to know howManyRecords was in 13:30.I figured I grep for "start time for the job" and then only after that (and before the next occurence of that) grep for "howManyRecords". Is this a sane way?

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

I have spent the most part of 5 hours trying to fix this issue. For some reason I cannot change the background image to any of mt .jpg wallpaper files (and .png files). I've tried using the Ubuntu-Tweak application, but I end up getting a purple screen (default) or a black screen (default). So then I tried using the terminal method by making the Appearance window appear when I would log out. That works, except when I go to use my background image, it shows as a question mark for the image preview, and the icon for the file is a gray box. All while doing this my background images that I tested are all in the /usr/share/backgrounds location. Please help! I really want to get rid of the default images and use my images... :/ My desktop/screen in 1440x900, and most my background images are around that size. They work with my regular desktop for my account.

I originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed. So I'm still using the Ubuntu Lucid default bootloader grub2. I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9ac05ede-e7c4-47f3-b55b-66d5844$
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop root=/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
}
which parameters should I add?

I have no clue when it started. Since 10 days or so my computer crashes randomly when working in Ubuntu. Here are some facts: It can happen after one minute or several hours Every time, music is playing (MPD / PulseAudio), but my player runs mostly the whole time, so i am not sure if that's helping No specific action triggers the freeze, but i think a simple click is mostly involved When freezing the audio buffer is repeated every second or so The reset button does not work! I have to press the power button for 5 seconds to shut down the computer In Windows i did not experience any freezes, while i am doing hardware intensive stuff like gaming or audio processing
My Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K
MB: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P
GFX: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti Overclock
RAM: G.Skill RipJaws DIMM Kit 8GB PC3-10667U
SSD: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB

I experience X crashes on a frequent level. First it happened with the current stable nvidia 180 driver, and the nonfree flash player (....., vimeo, etc). I replaced the stable nvidia driver with the 180-dev driver which fixed the flash problem. However it still happens that the X chashes without any reason or pattern. One time it crashed the moment I wanted to save a PDF file to my HDD downloading it with Firefox, another time it crashed while idling. I use an Alienware M15x with a nvidia 260M. Compiz is installed and active. Which other data or logs do you need?

To put it simply I want the egrep command to return matches for a group rather than the whole pattern itself.For example:
Code:
egrep "reals([0-9]+?m[0-9]+?.[0-9]{3}s)" tmp
returns
"real 0m1.001s"
But I want it to return just "0m1.001s", the portion is the group. I can just apply egrep to whatever the first command returns but is there an easier way to do it?

When I try to install the pattern "lamp_server" with zypper on a fresh openSUSE 11.3 box I'm only getting the metapackage "patterns-openSUSE-lamp_server" installed, nothing else.Apache, MySQL, and PHP are all listed as "recommended" only.I know how to install the packages individually, and I know I can force matters with the "--recommended" flag. Unfortunately installing the recommended packages also wants to throw in apparmor and sw_management, neither of which I want right now.Am I overlooking something? The command I used:zypper install -t pattern lamp_serverMy main goal is to communicate this process to others, so I'd like to give them the option of the simpler pattern install.

In openSUSE 11.3 when I selected the Python Development pattern for install, it included everything needed for Python development. I installed openSUSE 11.4 yesterday from the full DVD ISO and selected the Python Development pattern, but all it installed is the patterns-openSUSE-devel_python meta package, which apparently doesn't include any other software. It didn't even install the python interpreter.
Of course I can easily install what I need manually, but the pattern is a handy one for quick installs that need Python. Is this pattern broken under 11.4 or am I missing something? I couldn't find anything about this behavior in the release notes, known 11.4 bug list on the forums, Google, etc.

I'm working on a backup script which takes the following input:
Code:
RevBackup.sh <options> <source> <target>
The problem I'm having is that the source and target might contain spaces in the path. ie. /home/eRJe/My Documents
I would like the script to ignore " " (backslash-space) as being a delimiter. how could I do this without stopping a normal space from being a delimiter?
I could do this with IFS. But so far I have only found info about setting a delimiter and not to "ignore" one

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Dimension 2350/ 2Ghz P4/ 1.5GB memory.After running for up to 10mins the system dies and the monitor alternates between black & a half-screen display of vertical black & white bars every second or so (first the top half then the bottom half of the screen). The unit has the standard Intel onboard graphics chip.The same happens with Ubuntu Studio & Xubuntu yet Mepis 8.5 & Fedora 13 run without problem.It's a standard installation of Ubuntu & all updates have been applied.
