I am installing ubuntu lucid at Amazon Elastic Cloud.

I want to find out where is Applications > Accessories > Terminal
Under the Applications, don't have Accessories submenu.
I'm trying to install the projectM visualizer and I'm running into some problems. Initially, I tried to install it by running "sudo apt-get install libvisual-projectm", which seemed to work... except there's no launcher for it in my Applications menu and "projectM-pulseaudio" returns "command not found". From there, I decided to try to build it myself, by following this guide (<- link). It went well until the "make" command, which returns the following error:

just bought two new monitors , having major problems installing them,ubuntu 10.04 didnt recognize them at all running at 800x600 they should run at 1920x1080.
i have found various web pages explaining how to adjust the resolution using terminal . the problem i am having that nearly every command i put in commes back with command not found , i thought i needed to be signed in asroot so did this but still the same problem .
As soon as I launch terminal I get the following:
[...]: command not found
[...]: command not found
And it then goes to a $~ prompt as usual. How do I make it so the two commands it is trying to launch don't run upon launching terminal?
So I have a hard drive with about 700 gb of movies on it and i plugged it in via USB and it didn't show up anywhere. So i then tried to plug it into the computer any way i could finally i tired another external case and now it is found (sorta).I open my /media folder and there it is a drive labeled Movies it had an x and it said i couldn't open it no permissions so i added permissions. now i open it and it says no files but only 160 gb space remaining on a 1 tb drive. so when i run fdisk -l i get this:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

i am a ubuntu user for about a year now. i ok with most things. but ive noticed the only things i can use are ones that are supplied for me. so i been trying to figure out how to install new programs not just from synaptic and the ubuntu add/remove. my issue is i have ubuntu 11.04 and i cant get my extracted tar.gz file to be recognized in terminal.
i first put cd home/nicholas/desktop/ndiswrapper-1.56 then nothin it just says no file or directory found. now i thought this was supposed to be a basic comand. am i missing something? is there a new way to write it now that were using 11.04 and not 10.10?
I have an old Dell Dimension 2400, currently running winXP. It has a second hard drive attached onto which I'd like to install ubuntu. The drive is visible in My Computer, but when I began the install process, ubuntu didn't give me any option to install on the second drive; it doesn't seem to see it's there. I went into the Setup menu and the drive isn't found there. Does anyone know what I need to do to configure things so that I can get ubuntu onto the second HD?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an "error", its not really and error, every time I open the terminal, it shows this:

When I try:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-gdm2setup
On the update I have error in terminal:
Code:

W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I have been reading this but could not resolve my issue: [URL]. The problem is as follows. I got a samsung laptop and there is some kind of recovery utility installed. After installing Ubuntu I get too windows grub entries, one is called Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda1 and the other one is Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2. The latter is correct and the first one is something that I'd rather not have active at all in the grub menu. Both of them are of course created by 30_os-prober in /etc/grub.d. I figured that I would most likely prefer a custom entry for Windows 7 and remove the x flag from 30_os-prober. I tried to create a file 50_windows7 in a described manner:
#! /bin/sh -e
echo "Adding Windows 43_custom" >&2
menuentry "Windows Vista 43_custom" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,2)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7cecddfbecddb01e
chainloader +1 }
Unfortunately during update-grub I get following:
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2
Adding Windows 43_custom
/etc/grub.d/50_windows7: 4: menuentry: not found
I was wondering if you could log in as root at the login menu instead of the terminal?

But if I run it from the menu (applications->office->libreoffice writer) or with sudo it works fine. so something's happening with the permissions, I goes, but I don't quite understand what's wrong. I've tried deleting .libreoffice but this doesn't help. I'm using libreoffice3.3.2 and Ubuntu 11.04.
I'm looking for a way from the terminal to remove certain menu items from the System | Administration for certain users. I'm working with a CyberCafe style application so user accounts come and go and I wanted to see if I can set it up that after an account is created that it will do some customisations.
I've found examples of adding menu items but nothing specific to removing via the terminal.
I think I may already know the answer to this. The Alacarte application simply manages the XML in the settings.menu to hide menu items and that if I want to do any customisations from the terminal I will need to play with this XML file to hide things.
I'd like the customisation per user rather than a blanket removal for all users
I'm messing around with a new install of Debian 8, trying to get a sandbox of Oracle DB 12c up and running in an ESXi environment.
open-vm-tools was giving me troubles (resizing the window didn't make the resolution change), and Oracle DB was fighting me with environmental variables.
Well, while I was troubleshooting the Oracle issue, I needed to reboot. When it came back up, I couldn't log in. When I attempt to log in using known working credentials, the screen goes black like it should, and then loads the login screen again.
I SSH into the box and try to run commands, but every single command I run returns "Command not found" including "ls" "su" "cd".
I'm able to boot into recovery mode, where the commands work under root, but I'm not sure what to fix....
I just installed Xubuntu 11.04 via wubi. Whenever I would attempt to do a normal install, the graphics would seem to crash and the screen would become distorted and basically just blocks of black and white. So I tried to do it in graphics safe mode, which succeeded. However, now I cannot start the Xubuntu GUI, and I get the error message "Display not found".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to change the Alt+F key in terminal to not access thefile menu (can't think of what it is called but File, Edit, View, etc...at the top). Alt is bound to access the first letter of the names in the file menus. This eliminates the Alt+F shortcut to move forward a word. I don't even mind so much if I permanently remove the alt binding to access the file menus.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using CentOS5.5 & everytime it is showing command not found. If I export the path as below it will be working fine until a reboot. Again same error i.e command not found if I open new terminal. Every time I am exporting as below:
#export PATH=/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/bin/:$PATH
How can I set these permanently as that the paths should automatically be exported for everyone user whenever the system boots. And command completion also should happen for eg. #fdi (press tab), then it should show available options such as fdisk, etc.
I installed openbox and obmenu with everything seeming to run smooth , but I managed to mess something up. When right clicking my screen I get an error stating that I am missing root-menu. I cannot open terminal while inside openbox. So while out I used apt-get purge on both applications , and reinstalled. The problem is still there and cannot right click or super+t for terminal. I've found other problems same as mine , but with being able to access the terminal while in.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI dont know if terminal is what im after, but here is my situation: This is a follow up to this thread on not some graphics issues with my linux install: [URL] I have finally managed to get a full install complete, but im still getting this screen on boot (prior to this screen i DO get the kubuntu loading screen) [URL]
So in the GRUB at start i have choosen Linux - recovery mode, to see what options that gave me, and i tried FailSafe mode, but i get an error and it just goes back to the recovery menu. My question is how do i get to the terminal style screen as its too quick for me to see the error, and i cant photograph it as its too fast. i cant see it being an issue with the graphics because of the properly displayed kubuntu loading screen beforehand

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've experienced 3 1/2 years of Ubuntu bliss. I have run into the first issue that I cannot solve using these forums, and I'm at my wit's end. Problem: I cannot start gdm (gnome?). I get the "Fatal server error: no screens found" error. Also, my terminal screen is duplicated on the top and bottom of the laptop monitor, indicating something gone terribly wrong.
When the problem started: immediately after running standard update to 2.6.32-26 (this time). Last time, it happened after running a standard update, but that was weeks ago. I did a complete reinstall (three times, including once to 10.1)
My system:
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (clean install + recent updates)
Kernel version 2.6.32-26
Also have 2.6.32-25. Neither one works in recovery mode, either.
