1)what is the diff between echo and cat. cat displays the output of a file on the screen. dont echo does about the same?
2)Can anyone explain this command to be? sh -c " echo 'export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM ; export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" ; export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" ; scim -d " > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95xinput"
I have a dual screen setup with one card NVidia 8400GS.
Both screen are identical 22" LCD LG W2246 Monitors.
I have Dual X-Display setup.
I am using Gnome Desktop.
The left hand screen displays everything, menus, panels, background and of course desktop launchers.
The right hand screen displays everything except the desktop launchers.
If I create a new launcher on the left it appears on the left desktop when created.
If I create a new launcher on the right it appears on the left and can not be dragged over to the right screen.
I am currently using this command
Code:
apt-get install samba --force-yes -y > /sambainstall.txt This suppresses the screen output and sends it all to a text file, how do I have both?
When I run a script with nohup, the output is forced to the out.log file by default; is there a way to force the output to the screen instead of the file? I need to be able to see when my script gives me a "process started" message, and I don't want to clog up the system with log files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem when using awk:
e.g: awk '{processing text}' File1 > File2
But when I'm processing the File1, I want to print out some messages to the screen (not the File2). How can I do that?
Is there one command that will let me record an entire terminal session (with any possible errors) to a text file while also seeing all output on screen too? I know it can be done for individual commands, but I'm looking to do this for an entire session where the individual commands will be normal (i.e., not piped into tee, etc.). It would be even better if the command prompt is captured too. The obvious utility of this makes me think someone surely has come up with a solution long ago (probably in the 60's).(I'm sure it goes without saying, but subsequent output in that session should be appended to the file. The file should contain the full history, with all output and errors, of the session.)
View 9 Replies View RelatedIts my first post in here so please be patient I am trying to use regex in perl script to detect allowed words from the file and then print output to the screen.
As an example : I have text file with orders and returns :
Item2-SKU-2-11.08.2010-online
Item3-SKU-3-11.09.2010-return
Item4-SKU-4-11.09.2010-store
My question: is it possible to make sure that i am ony outputing to the screen orders based on few conditions like Item,order form e.g. online.And is it possible to have multiple matches (Item2 only diplay if ordered online etc)
I have 2 monitors my main one working fine, my second one plugged in a usb to VGA adapter displays a purple screen with ubuntu on it and 5 dots but does not go any further than that. In display settings it can not find my second monitor either. Any way to get Ventrilo client on ubuntu. I am using Ubuntu 10.10.

I have been running 8.04LTS on a Sony Pentium III with Intel 810 chipset as a desktop system but with the servers installed so I could prototype web sites. The updates two days ago (Feb 23) have broken my theme display and screensaver. I can't get the background image to display like it used to do and none of the Applications Menu icons are showing. I have a second 8.04LTS system on a P4 Intel motherboard that got the same updates and is working fine, nothing broke that I can see.
I tried to use the 'Screens and Graphic' application to set the screen back to what I wanted but it wouldn't 'stick'. I finally hand edited xorg.conf so that it would boot up in a screen that I could use. Still, the 'X' close and min/max icons in the window corners still don't show. This makes it inconvenient to use though it still works as a web server. I dont' know where to look from here.
Well this problem has been here since Lucid. When I start up my computer and select Ubuntu, I get a blinking underscore for about most of the start up time for Ubuntu. Then It quickly shows the nice Ubuntu Loading Screen (Plymouth) for about two seconds, then it gets to the login screen. I am using the Open Source ATI drivers, I believe the open drivers are called "radeon".

Does anyone know if there exists a screen saver which simply displays the current time? That would allow me to quickly determine what time it is whether I'm sitting at my computer or sitting across the room

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have opensuse 11.4 installed with both gnome and kde. These are the things I did before the problem:
1. changed the login screen to oxygen login screen
2. Then I logged off and when again logging in, I chose the session as Metacity.
But unfortunately, the the blank splash screen appeared and it didnt get into the desktop. Then I did a hard restart (By pressing the power button). Since then, I cannot login. The login screen is blank left only a active mouse pointer. Even booting into failsafe also didnt work.
By the way, I have chosen the option of directly logging in without password prompt at login. (during installation)
Only a week before i did a clean install since i corrupted the grub, dont wanna install again.
I successfuly installed Ubuntu 11.04 through the NetInstall option on an Aspire 3810T laptop.
Using the default option, the laptop boots OK, I can ssh to it OK, but the screen on the host just displays a blinking cursor. I assume the stock Ubuntu doesn't have the right display driver:

I got out my old Fuji Finepix s3100 and set it to web cam mode to see if anything had changed in the world of usb video drivers. Lo and behold it worked! I can watch myself on cheese web cam booth. kewl, but I wanted more. So, just recently hearing about chatroulette on the Daily Show, I click and wahla no go . After flash comes up and asks for and receives user permission to access my hardware, I click to find a random stranger, and my camera displays yellow and blue lines across its onscreen display box. I notice that movement is noticed by the camera. If I move I notice a change in background/lines. As far as I can tell, my camera is not a fault. I mean it works for local viewing. Is this a flash or possibly a chatroulette problem?

I'm on HP tx2000 Tablet PC, with nVidia GeForce 6150 Go onboard, 4GB of RAM, Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 Desktop. I keep getting a blank screen after boot splash when I'm on BATTERY POWER. Though I get a blank screen, the screen comes alive when I SUSPEND the laptop by closing the lid, and then RESUME the laptop. Then I can see the logon box and whole desktop.
Usually people get problem by suspending their laptops (usually the screen not coming back after resuming), but now I SOLVE the problem by suspending my laptop. Well like I said I can somehow get the screen right, but I really can't (and don't want to) suspend and resume my laptop every time I boot. Problem occurs REGARDLESS of type of display driver I use. nVidia proprietary, nouveau... whichever driver I use, I get the same conclusion.
My screen displays everything in a very wide but also very short way. When i click on (X Server Display Configuration) NVIDIA X Server Settings
I get this:
Issue: Black screen displays after nVidia splashscreen.
History: I performed a clean install of Fedora 12. I performed NVidia driver "GEForce 4 and below" install for a PAE kernel as found here:[URL]..I kept a log of each command in the order performed:

Well, I just got back from the Pepsi Center after watching the Denver Nuggets NBA basketball team look silly against the Dallas Mavericks. 4.5 hours later and I still have a black screen. Was it Einstein who said, "it is insanity to do the same thing, the same way, over and over and expect a different result"? I feel I will been testing that hypothesis soon.
When I am using flash a lot of times it will just display a grey screen or just stops. I wanted to use Turbotax today but I can not because of this.

I have a script, I am able to send the output of the script to both the screen and a file as shown below
Code:
./script | tee -a temp.log
I wonder is it possible to achieve same thing by executing some commands inside the script. As for other users, who execute the script it is not advisable to pipe the output of script with the help of tee command. Again, keeping |tee at the end of every line of the script doesn't seem to be advisable. I tried with this for couple of lines and it works. Is it possible to get the output of script to both screen and file by just executing name of the script, with some script tweaking ?
I have 11.2 installed on my laptop but have a bit of an issue. When I boot it normally, it will not use my full screen, instead it only uses about a 5"x5" box in the center and displays there, but when i boot into failsafe, it uses the full screen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this is just a simple configuration issue, but not sure what to configure:
When I try to open a file from within an application (eg Open Office) and I choose "Open", a file browser pops up that allows navigation of the file system. Rather annoyingly, it shows all the dot files (and directories). There was a time when it did not, and I'm not sure what changed to make it do this.
Where do I configure this behaviour? I don't know what the file browsing thing is called. If I get a listing from ps before and after calling up the file opening tool, there is nothing extra showing.
Recently i had migrated from windows 7 to fedora 15. i have lot of flipbooks with me and unable to open those flipbooks in fedora. finding a suitable solution to open those flipbooks. is there a software to open these books linux. in windows there is no requirement for special softwares to open flipbook, since it is similar to flv or swf files. i had already tried with wine. with wine the file is opened but do not displays the contents or pages, show a blank white screen. @people who dont know about flipbooks: flipbooks are flash objects usually created from pdf files used for reading, flipbooks simulate the reallife book actions(page turning).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am curious if perhaps I am doing something wrong extracting pages from a pdf doc using pdftk and creating a new file. I am only extracting the odd pages from the file and outputting them to a new file that is now only 20 pages instead of the input's 40 pages, yet the new output file is still 1.4Mb in size, the same as the original.
It seems strange to extract only half the pages of a large document and end up with a result that is the same size. how to streamline the resulting pdf's using pdftk?
BTW this is the command I am using, in case perhaps I am missing an option to optimize file size or something:

I'm running on a freshly installed win7 (first) ubuntu dualboot system. Splash screen was absolutely perfectly dandy upon fresh install.I updated ubuntu, then the problem occurred. I assume its a video card problem. nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ is what have in there.Drivers installed fine and everything, don't know if this is an easy fix or not.What's weird is that the animated dots remain, just in a lower resolution.

Didn't mess around much with ubuntu before the problem occurred. I essentially let the updates run and then I restarted right back into Ubuntu and saw the new downgraded splash screen.I'm new to ubuntu and terminal commands so if you suggest a terminal command fix, please be logical in your step by step fix suggestion.
