I had a make file which deals with hundreds of thousand jpeg images. I submitted this job by using: nohup make & Is there any possible way that brings this program back to foreground? I can only use ps to monitor the status, command jobs cannot find it.
I've been holding out on the recent few versions of Ubuntu because of the recent changes, so I was just wondering if 10.10 will bring back some of those lost features.
1. Will we see a way to have a customisable login screen?
2. Will there be an option to move the close button as a standard setting?
I need to use php to run some scripts locally. I tried it with system, exec But it only brings back on line. Ideally I want to take all the out put back on my browser.
PHP ------>shell scripts ------> error + plus out put ^--------------------------------------------| some thing like that.
I have just upgraded to lucid and the first thing that I noticed was that the different shutdown options (Logout, Restart etc.) disappeared from the user-switch menu (at least that's how I think it is called) where they were located previously under karmic. Logout and Shutdown are placed under the System menu currently, and they work fine, but my question is how to show all (or some) of the shutdown options in the System or user menu? I dislike going through the dialog and prefer to choose my action directly from the menu.I have tried removing and readding the user-switch applet, to no avail. I tried adding menu items to both the system menu and the user menu, to no avail either
When I right click on my mp3 player it gives me the option of ejecting or safely removing. If i do either it appears too the computer as though I unplugged it even though it's still connected to the computer. Is there a way to bring back unmount so that it will still appear under places? I would really love to have that behavior back
How to bring Desktop back again on Fedora 15. We have developed an application that places some shortcuts on Desktop. With Desktop disappearing in Fedora 15, those shortcuts will become useless. Can we shorten the learning process in Gnome 3?
After doing a #yum update and updating 451 updates, after rebooting its gets to the white bar going to Fedora 15 at the bottom of the screen and just stops. No error messages or nothing.
I start a process, put it in the background running, then log out, then log in again, and want to bring the process to front again. I've looked in "ps aux" for the PID, but it won't be put in the foreground with "fg ###". What's the correct way? (I use the same account for both login sessions.)
I hate using Software Center. I can't pick more than one program to install at one time. It downloads only one program at a time.The downloads take longer. I'm not able to look at all available programs at once. It doesn't categorise the programs on the sidebar, but instead you have to use another icon window. Gnome-app-install was just easer to use. Anyone else feel this way?
Following lines taken from other replies in this post to make it easier to do:
-You can install gnome-app-install from this ppa repo.

I"m thinking of trying out Cairo Dock with Ubuntu for the next 2 weeks until Meerkat comes out, but if I prefer the gnome panel I'd like to bring that back.

Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.4 to new version 11.

Our office housing keeping guy sat on my linux (Fedora 7) system and somehow removed the main panel. By panel I mean where all the menus are there - Applications, Places, System etc. and contains a tab for every running application. I brought back the panel but now I don't see the terminal launcher and I can't find it anywhere.It used to be there in "Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal" but now the System Tools option itself is not present there. System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Main Menu. There one System option is unchecked but I can't check it and apply. I am logged in as root.
How to format hard drive (with ubuntu 10.10 maverick, 32-bit vs.) and, after it will have been formatted, bring all system settings and programs which I run know back e.g. Compiz, browsers and other (of course without installing each one of it separately)?

It basically stats Octave and run a file I typed after. So if I need to submit it through sun grid engine how would I type it in command line or how should I do it in the sun grid engine control panel. I tried qsub -o <my path> -e <my path> run_octave Myfile.m (Myfile.m is the file I need to run)

I tried with nohup <command> & But wonder how to provide password.
Does the nohup command make a process immune to the HUP signal by sending the process to the background or does it achieve this by some other means? If it it does send it to the background, then are all background processes immune to the HUP signal? If yes, then we can make processes go to the background for getting immunity against HUP by using the bg command as well can't we?
