Okay, this issue is kinda difficult to understand without context: When we run Evince, it checks if there is any other instance running. If there is one, the evince command exits immediately, right after passing the parameter to the running instance If no other instance is running, a new one will be started, and the evince command will wait until this new instance exits. While that behavior is quite nice, it is not helpful for shell scripts. Why? Because I have a script that writes a temporary .ps file, calls a PS/PDF viewer, and automatically deletes the temporary .ps file after the viewer exits. Unfortunately, this script only works if evince was not previously running (if evince was running, then the file is deleted too fast).
I don't want to add extra complexity to this script. It should be kept simple, because I may want to replace evince with xpdf, gv, or anything else. I was expecting some kind of command-line parameter to evince (similar to -f to vim and gvim), but I fear there is no such option. Writing a wrapper script around evince might be a good solution, but this script should work correctly in all cases (if evince was running and if it wasn't).
I first installed Fedora 15 (full clean install) on a spare laptop I had sitting around and the install went flawlessly. I was able to install it and use it right out the gate. I was then able to install two of my must-have programs, xchat and libreoffice without any problems either.Then I tried the same thing on my primary desktop at work (and since I run an IT department, I already have permission to do this :-)
The problem I'm getting is trying to install anything;the package manager is having trouble contacting the source.The exact error reads: "Software source download failed. Could not contact source 'fedora', so it will be disabled."I have not made anychanges to the firewall on the machine and the machine does have a working internet connection (I am posting from the machine). Any tips or advice on ways to troubleshoot would be great. I'm by no means a linux expert, but I can get around the system fairly well
I tried remastersys, but has to install graphical stuff for the ubiquity. I don't need an installer, nor any gui packages. Is there another good automated program or script that works great for making compact text/console only installs?
I have a few things working now, so all I need to know is a good way to record the music you play from Virtual Keyboard. I've tried Audacity to do this, but it never works correctly.
my dad is wanting me to make a slideshow for him. all it has to be is just a different picture every 4 or 5 seconds, with captions in-between them. i remember i could very easily do this with windows movie maker, but is there a program for ubuntu that i could use that is the same?
recommend a good slideshow maker that'll make great slide shows to be used on a web page?I need a slideshow maker that resides on my computer and not a web based one.
I have started using linux again and the programme that used to come with Suse back in 2003 was called "open office" since this is 2011 and im now using Ubuntu which suits me much better I need a word processor that can support .doc or create files that I can then open and edit with Microsoft word in university. Is there any word processor out there that sounds like what im looking for?
Lastly I also need atleast a PPT viewer to see my lecture slides and a program that can make powerpoint presentations or can be used and edited with Powerpoint would be great for my presentation work.
I have Squeeze running gnome well.It connect to my WFI AP automatically.I installed window maker yesterday .After I enter the window maker desktop, I found no internet connection.I run a network tool shortcut in th eapplication menu.This program is the same of my gnome desktop.I change the setting to make it automatically connect to my AP but in vain.
First, my specs:Maverick RC (both servers)MANAGED-NOVLAN modeCC + SC + Walrus server: 1 TB bukkit hard drive (after problem started just to see if the problem was related to the LVM), 500 GB root, 6 GB RAM, 8 coreC: 500 GB HD, 24 GB RAM, 16 coreI have downloaded all images available in the "store" and they all work perfectly.If I download a UEC image from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/ or if I try to roll my own from an ISO image, it uploads just fine to the server, but when I start an instance it sticks in "pending" and fails to decrypt and cache.Walrus error on CC:

The Skype audio test claims I have configured Skype correctly. But my new Creative Live!Cam Socialize (Which includes a mic) needs some drivers as only those for MS Windows are provided. Creative spec requires a Linux kernal 2.6 or later which I think I have.
I saw in CentOs Documentation that the only Tomcat package available in CentOs 5 was Tomcat 5, I would like to know why CentOs 5 didn't support Tomcat 6. And what's more I would like to know whether last version of Tomcat (6.0.18) can be installed on CentOs 5, and if we can trust installation tutorial we can read on centOs How 2 page? And in addition, could you tell me why Tomcat 6 isn't provided in CentOs Yum repository ... Is there a no working reason?
I use 'quoted' style for reply emails. I want to be able to intersperse my replies within a quoted reply i.e. if the email had three paragraphs, I'd like to be able to have my replies between each of the paragraphs. At the moment, I don't seem to be able to do anything other than delete from the quoted section - I try to simulate my requirements by cutting and then 'paste quotation', but this doesn't always work as sometimes Evolution adds too many levels of '> ' .
we had a server with Hostway, and it was running ubuntu. The server also had Plesk installed, which did some funny things. We had several websites on that server, and many email addresses. Then we changed servers. Now we have a server through Rackspace and it is also running Ubuntu. It also has Virtualmin installed, which generally does not impose as many unconventional changes on Ubuntu as Plesk did.
Rather than using Thunderbird to download my email (which is what I used to do) I've decided I'll start reading my email on the server. So I will ssh to the server and then use some email client, such as Alpine, to read the email. So I installed Alpine. I have an email account for "lawrence". The email address is lawrence @ krubner. Currently, when mail arrives for that account, it is stored here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it is transferred to hear:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
When I start Alpine, while logged in as lawrence, Alpine automatically sets up an inbox for me here:
/home/lawrence/mail/
How do I get Alpine (or any other client) to read from the correct folder? I'm fairly sure the email package (the MTA) at work on this new server is Postfix. As near as I can tell, my email is held for 24 hours in this folder:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it gets transferred here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
Alpine only lets me set one path for my Inbox, so I'm not sure what path I should set. If I use "cur" I will see all email 1 day late, but if I use "new" then I will miss email if I go a day without checking.
I'm running ubuntu maverick on a 64bit system. In any browser, ..... or other flash video's fail to load (grey square appears) other apps are not clickable. also in other apps the flash plugin just plain sucks... liferea doesn't play video's for instance, not from any source (vimeo, .....,...) since last week it just started crashing my browsers, or even freeze up the whole system, until the correct browserwindow was closed... I'm using gnome and compiz on top. Is there an alternative for the flash plugin provided by adobe? are there known issues with particular gnome or compiz settings, or any other settings for that matter?
If I use static TCP configuration, (my Linux is Red Hat, but SuSE is quite similar) I define DNS's in file "/etc/resolv.conf" and Default GateWay in file
So, when I want to display those values, I just display the contents of the file. But, if my TCP configuration uses DHCP server ... I dont know the command to display those values. PD.- in straight : I need a command to display the DNS's in effect on a TCP/IP configuration that uses a DHCP server. Also, a command to display Default Gateway would be welcome.
when i assign ip manually to a machine it gets ping by server and it also itself pings server but when i chose to use client machine as dhcp , so that it can directly get assigned ip from server, it does not get ip, instead random ip is provided which is out of range specified at server side in /etc/dhcpd.conf file.
I had windows and 8.10 earlier and now have single boot 10.04 !
1.) I can see wireless networks only after I am connected to the router through wired ! I guess its some thing to do with me activating ifup and ifdown, when my wired connection stopped working as i was trying to install wireless drivers.
2.) Even when I see wireless networks, i cannot connect to any of them.
I tried various things for a whole day trying to fix it and i doubt if i screwed up some thing that was running good.
I am trying to build a jar file using a ant script provided by a vendor and while running the script, I am getting the below connection time out error when it tries to download a jar file.
Code: C:ccuapi-java>ant run Buildfile: build.xml get_libs: [get] Getting: http://download.java.net/maven/2/args4j/args4j/2.0.12/args4j-2.0.12.jar [get] To: C:ccuapi-javaargs4j-2.0.12args4j-2.0.12.jar
I have a network consisting mostly of Windows Vista and 7 clients and an Ubuntu server. The server provides both the DHCP and NTP services through dhcp3-server and openntpd. In my dhcpd.conf, the subnet is declared as follows:
The clients don't seem to be using the NTP server though. When I capture the network traffic with Wireshark during the DHCP process, I also see no mention of the NTP option in the DHCP offer message. I am not quite sure if the clients would have to specifically request that option to receive it or if I have to make another configuration to offer the option.
I regularly compile something from a source repository that has a certain set of dependencies. Some of these dependencies are dev libraries that are provided via other libraries but are not considered installed packages in themselves, so I cannot test for some dependencies directly.
I am currently parsing an "apt-cache showpkg" output to check for some of these provided dependencies. This is somewhat kludge-y and messy, and I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Is there an APTITUDE option that will directly test for the presence of a library that is part of some other package without having to know the name of the package that the library is part of?
I'm using Slackware 13. I have HP LaserJet P1005 printer. I want to use it but there is not any driver file provided for Linux. I'm confused from where to start.
I have two servers behind different networks. First network is protected with firewall provided by the router and there is no firewall in the server:
[Code]....
As you see, there are no difference in nmap output If I check with tcpdump, which packets are sent from 192.168.217.73 and 192.168.13.19(tcpdump -i eth0 src host 192.168.217.73 and tcpdump -i eth0 src host 192.168.13.19 respectively) towards me during nmap scan, there are none. It's understandable, as there should be no reply when port is filtered. Is there somehow possible to detect, whether firewall is active in the server or in the router?
