I have inherited an ubuntu system and I'm currently having problems with my console (using putty.)
My bash console is usable but only just barely.
None of the colors are working so I can't tell what it a directory and what isn't. When I hit the up arrow I just get : ^[[A instead of my last statement.
Left arrow: ^[[D
Right arrow: ^[[C
Down arrow: ^[[B

I'm trying Debian again just for fun after using Slackware for years. When I "su -" on Konsole in Debian I get this for my prompt:
Code:
darksaurian@darkswamp:~$ su -
Password:
darkswamp:~#
darkswamp is my hostname that I made up when I installed. On Slackware I'm used to it saying:
root@darkswamp
or something like that.
I'm starting Konsole the same way on both:
konsole -e $SHELL -l
I kind of wish it still said "root" just because I'm used to it.
i'm looking for a way to output a bash script to the console before login.It should be executed after boot in rc.d scripts with the output on the console0. It is for a asterisk box.This is the script. It use the watch command to output the active calls on the box in realtime.Code:watch "asterisk -vvvvvrx 'show channels verbose'"Btw,

As I just recently switched from Windows, this kind of problem is solved there by adding 'pause' command in batch script, on which user has to press key and script will then continue (finish) or by launching through 'cmd /k' which makes console window persistent.
Googling I found about 'sleep' command and more appropriate for me 'read' command, so I did this:
Unfortunately, I can't see any effect of 'read' command as console windows again terminates after execution. Execution is successful BTW. So what's the catch?
i'm getting messages like these in my bash console
Code: STACK size: 98222 [0x7f665dbe4e00 0x7f665db25090] and i'm not quite sure what they mean, so far it looks it's related to the shell stack limit set by ulimit, however i've tried to change it (increasing it) however this message still persists.
I have installed 4GB Ram but the ubuntu detects only 2.9GB of memory..Is there any method to make all 4GB Ram usable with 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10???I have heard that using PAE kernel we can do that..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will provide a large (full screen and clear) display countdown clock, basically so I can use my laptop in public to show how much time remains in a basketball quarter. I'm the official timer.If it counts up like in soccer rather than down, that's fine too. If the app can also show the score, that would be great, but it is not a requirement. We don't use a shot clock, so that is not required either.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am new to linux, am attempting to abandon microsoft because after 30 years I have had enough of being jerked around by them. I have used yast to install the components of Postgresql and pgAccess, including language support for Tcl/Tk. Starting the postgresql server is successful.
I would like to use pgAccess as a front end to the server/databases. However, nothing I do seems to make pgAccess available. I can't invoke it and can't find it on a menu anywhere. In searching forums on this issue they all discuss compiling postgresql and pgAccess on the local machine, no one talks about how to use pgaccess whose installation was managed by a gui. Do I need to start over, removing everything I installed with yast, and go with the command line installs and compiles, or can I use what yast installed?

It doesn't matter to me if it's just a skin over an existing well known player or a complete application written from the ground up. This is for a car pc. I have been on MP3Car and I have still not found anything usable for GNU linux. The only component I need to complete my project is a good touch screen music player.

I have F14 x86_64 installation on my laptop. I once used latex vary well. After recent update of the system, there seems to be a latex font problem. When I ran xdvi, the dvi window flashed once and disappeared immediately.
The error in the terminal is:
Code:
$ xdvi ms
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Error: Aborting: no fontset found
I have xorg-x11-font-utils, xorg-x11-fonts-misc, xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi, and xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi installed. I then ran:
Code:
# yum install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859*
to install some extra fonts. But the problem remained. What shall I do?
I'm in the process of trying to install FC14 64 bit to my Window 7 64 bit system. This new system has a 6.0 Gb/s internal hard drive.When I reboot with the F14 install disk I have made it past the disk verification (is Verified) and then picking a language but then I get the message "No usable disks have been found". In Win 7, the Disk Management window shows that 184 GB of space are free. Is there some disk preparation that I should do to make this space available?

Oh no it doesn't.It seems to cater for wi-fi users only who get a "enable wireless" tickbox and "manage connections". At least you can stop and start it.Meanwhile cable users who might have a taskbar display for lan traffic can see stuff pouring in, or out and if it's something they don't want they can't do anything about it unless they pull the plug.

I am interested in setting up speech recognition on my notebook. I have installed Sphinx3 and pocket_sphinx for my distro (Fedora 14), but have googled without success looking for an entry-level guide to get me started.I am wading through the doco at CMU, but I'm finding it hard to relate their text to the installed files on my system. They assume the user has downloaded and compiled from source, whereas I just used 'yum'.
Better: is there a front-end which presents a more usable interface than the fairly sparse man pages available? The sphinx3* tools do not seem to have any man pages and pocket_sphinx has man pages that assume I know what I am doing. As far as speech recognition is concerned, I am very much a pbeu (poor blinking end user) with no training.

I have been running Gnome 3 for a few days now and really like it, but need to tweak it to my liking, basically to an overall darker theme. Something similar to this is what I am shooting for: I have figured out how to do the shell themes (top bar, dock, etc) but I am having problems with the window manager themes (window title bars, window backgrounds, etc). Using the Gnome-Tweak_Tool, I can apply the pre-installed ones, but I am at a loss as to how I add new ones. I have tried adding themes to ~/.themes, and /usr/share/gnome-shell/themes, but I am unable to get them to show up to be usable in the tweak tool. I am comfortable using the command line and/or editing configuration files if that is the only way.
