Ubuntu :: Couldn't Find A Simple Currency Conversion Tool With Gdesklets
Mar 21, 2010
I just made the complete switch from windows 7. I'm looking for a weather applet and a currency conversion applet for my desktop.
I tried gdesklets but I couldn't get any of the weather applets to work. They couldn't find weather data. The weather part of my gnome-panel works fine.
I also couldn't find a simple currency conversion tool with gdesklets.
Ps: major kudos for anyone who can find a tv guide desklet.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?
I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I want is something to help me manage my job search by keeping track of which jobs I have applied for, when I need to phone particular agencies again, and that sort of thing. I have tried installing a couple of Apache-based apps, but they have turned out to be too complicated to set up. I couldn't find a desktop app in the repos, but maybe I have missed something. A cloud-hosted service would probably be OK, so long as it is within my current �0 budget.

I need to create a simple diagram - basically, a small binary tree with labels on the nodes. I would probably posting that as a graphic illustration for a forum or blog post (but not at these forums).Looking at KDE menus, "gimp", "mtPaint", "LibreOffice draw" and "Inkscape" look as if they might be possibilities.When it comes to drawing, I'm am all thumbs (hopelessly incompetent). So what do you folk suggest as an easy way to get the job done.

I'm looking for an easy to use video editing tool for cleaning up and enhancing the simple movies that can be made with digital compact stills cameras. My camera (a Panasonic Lumix) records these as Apple Quicktime MOV format and uses a very basic internal microphone to enable it to include a very poor soundtrack. My current desktop is Ubuntu 10.04 running on an old Athlon 64 single core with 2GB RAM with "enough" spare disk capacity for these very short home movie clips. I can play them back with the standard media player at present. I'm not a professional multimedia artist and I'm looking for a very simple, easy to use tool that will enable me to clean up, convert, etc. Ideally, I'd want to send these either via e-mail or on CD to family and friends.

I'm new to linux, have been somewhat of a computer geek my whole life and thought it about time that I delved into the world of linux. So I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer. I love it. However, I can't get my wireless to work. In my dorms there are no ethernet hookups, so I have to use the wireless. I typed "sudo lshw -class network" into the root terminal. The important things that I figured out was the bus info: pci@0000:4:06.0 and the pysical id: 6 (not sure if the physical id is important but it sounds like it is). I then did a lspci and found that at bus 04:06.0 it is a RaLink Device 3060. I downloaded the .tar file for the driver. I could not find instructions for it online so I followed the ones for the rt2860 driver : [URL].... I could not get it to work, It built ok and installed ok, but when I do the modprobe I get an error saying the device or resource is busy. Either that or that it cannot be found. One thing that I found weird was that I couldn't get it to build a 3060 driver, it would only build a 3562 one.

I am having a problem with servers that have been set up using the dollar $ symbol as the system currency setting and I need to change this to the South African rand 'R' symbol. I only have remote access to the systems via ssh (putty) and I have this issue on both a RHEL5 and OpenSuSE 11.? machine so I am looking for a generic solution. Is there a configuration file, command or command line tool I can use/ change to change this setting.

I have a file of the formcol1, col2, $330,000, col4 ...col1, col2, col3, col4 ..col1, col2, $230,000, col4 ...The comma within the currency value causes the column to display unevenly when I open it so I want to remove it. I think I should be able to use the sed command but I am not sure extactly how. All the values have 3 digits after the $ and before the , so have triedsed -e 's/$[0-9]*,/ but I am not sure how to 'replaced with the string found just without the comma'So two guestions:1. Is this a good way to do it?2. How do I do it

Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?

I have Ubuntu installed on a live USB (as-well as dual-booted on my main computer with win7) and this live USB doesn't recognize the right resolution of a particular computers' monitor so I have made a script which (theoretically) all I need to do is double click it to fix the screen for this one monitor's config.Now the issue is that I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work. when I run it (it has xrandr commands in it) it tells me the usage for it.
Code:
#! /bin/bash
cvt 1280 1024 60 | tail -c -82 > temp.txt
xrandr --newmode < temp.txt
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00"

Since I upgraded to 10.04, I went to launch gDesklets, and it will not launch. I looks like it wants to, spinning cursor and bar down in the task bar panel, but then it disappears.

recently I installed gDesklets with some minor problems that I fixed along the way.. But now that it finally works, I don't see all the categories? For example, the System/CPU category is missing etc.. Here is a screenshot of gDesklets Shell open:So, the problem is that it's not showing all the categories needed.. So, any advice? Edit #1: I found out that what I was looking for was the SideCandy things from gDesklets.. And I tried Screenlets, but it doesn't have what I need and the look is not really me..PS. If anyone could tell me what "desklets" these are: [URL]- I would really appreciate it! The theme is Mira, but I tried installing it, but it didn't really change a lot of my main Ubuntu theme, and it didn't install the desklets

just loaded 9.10 and trying to install the NDIS wrapper so I can use my USB wirless adaptor. Executed the command
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 as read in one of the forums and received the following error:
E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
both the tar version and the unzippedversion are on my desktop but I'm not sure they are installed and I don't know what to install. I've clicked every file in every folder most seem to be instructions not what I know as executables.

i'm trying to make a script that gives one output if a directory in /home is older than one month, and another if the directory is less than one month old. I looked around and saw that the creation date for directories isn't stored, or at least i couldn't find it? How is this possible to do then?

I've been scratching my head on this one for a while.My level of knowledge of Linux isn't great. I know enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to get Webmin installed to give me an easier web front to Linux. I run the command to get the prereq's.

So I can see that it can't find libnet-ssleay-perl I bit of searching around leads me to the sources.list file which tells apt-get where to get the packages I think. This is as follows.

Distro: Ubuntu 11.04-beta1 'natty'
Problem: 'your hardware does not support Unity; you will be using Ubuntu Classic.'
Installed: nvidia-common 0.2.28,
nvidia-current 270.30-0ubuntu3,
nvidia-settings 270.29-0ubuntu1,
linux-image-generic-pae 2.6.38.7.21,
linux-headers-generic-pae 2.6.38.8.22
[Code]....
After reading a few other threads on the matter, I suspect the problem is with the 'nvidia-current' package more than the libgl1-mesa-glx or unity packages. ... though it does seem odd that Unity doesn't have a non-OpenGL verison.
If I find a solution, I'll come back. I hope the answer isn't "ditch nvidia-current for the binary install script from nVidia direct." If someone found this thread in a search, the nVidia driver install scripts can be found at [URL]

Firefox 4.0b7 is out. I am compiling it now. First though, I had to update cairo and pixman. Cairo was easy enough modifying the slackbuild, but pixman was a peta. I couldn't find a slackbuild, so I had to really modify one. It worked, though, building pixman first,then cairo. The FF build has been going for about 10 minutes, so I know it has a way to go.
