Ubuntu :: Finding A Program By Category?
Jun 17, 2011
I am having troubles getting used to the new Ubuntu UI - Unity. One thing that bugs me is that I don't know how to find a program if I don't know the program's name. For example I remember I have an IRC client but I don't remember its name and its name does not contain IRC. Before I had Unity, programs were organised in categories, so to find the irc I just looked in the Internet category. The same happened to me with the writer program and others..Can anyone tell me how I can find a program by its category? I was surprised that I could not many complaints like mine on the web. I don't want to give up and go back to the old gnome cause I figure that there is just a learning curve to pass and beside there are some feature in it that I like.

Is there a program in the repositories for physics? I don't mean a program that makes graphs etc. I just want a program such as the one I'm attaching but much more effective and that does more than just a spring on an inclined plane. I want torque, rotational motion, kinematics, pulleys and a system with two objects instead of one only etc in the program. If it doesn't exist, I'll make it myself but I will have the knowledge in probably close to a year from now so I unfortunately cannot do it yet.
Basically (like what I attached - except that it's not so great) is something that I can visually test my homework with. If there are programs for other aspects of physics that do the same thing such as for waves or optics etc, I'd like to have those too but my priority is mechanics right now.

whenever i plug in my xbox i can't hear it but i can see it so i have to change to windows i have no problem with that. But my question is Is there any "APP" or program that lets you change OS with one click instead of restarting the computer? I know the xbox sound problem does not belongs here its just that i wanted to throw/point this out here in case anyone knows what may cause this, and the reason why i want that "1 click change OS"

I am looking for a program to help me store, organise and retrieve information. The aim would be to keep notes from literature, concepts and ideas which i come across during my studies. It's always a hassle to retrieve this information when i have to write a paper for instance. So in fact what i need is a sort of wikipedia-like program where information is searchable and where perhaps hyperlinks could lead me from one word/note to another.

I'm wondering if there exists software that serves the same kind of function as Tasker or Locale for Android except for Linux. I think it would be really great to be able to have certain things run automatically based on a set of conditions. For example, I would like to automatically sync my mp3s to my laptop from my home computer when my laptop connects to my home network.

I am just looking for a simple program, nothing overly complex with crazy features. Just something that pops up above any browser/window and remains that way until you click it or something. The pop up would occur periodically or at sometime each day. It would say something like "TAKE A BREAK FROM COMPUTER" lol and other things. not suppose to be some full reminder program like a calendar.

I've installed Wine and Spotify in UNE 10.04 and everything's fine, but how can I get an icon into one of the app category tabs? Also, when this page references a script for 'Opening spotify URIs from browsers' can I alternatively just enter those lines into Terminal?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Chromium (5.0.375) as my main browser. I've installed totem-pps as described in the instruction I found. There are number of problems:
I cannot see the category list of video (on the sidebar) When using Chrome to open pps:// based uri in PPS movie index site, it failed without an error message.
For example, if I open a link like this:
pps://ouu2wygqea.pps/%E5%8D%81%E4%BA...%BD%B1&subgen=
Chrome uses xdg-open to open that uri, which try to run command like this:
Code:
xdg-open pps://ouu2wygqea.pps/%E5%8D%81%E4%BA%8C%E7%BD%97%E6%B1%89.rmvb?maingen=%E7%83%AD%E9%97%A8%E7%94%B5%E5%BD%B1
I tried to run that command directly. And it reports:
Code:
Error showing url: The specified location is not supported

Is there any other program that will work with the taskbar applet other than gwibber? I tried using it, but the interface seems really vague to me and drives me nuts. At the same time, the taskbar applet (showing up under the mail icon), makes it much more integrated than just installing a random standalone application.

I am looking for a mp3 file analysis program ( shell preferred / or X ) - something that would give me similar output as >LAME< does during the encoding phase.
Quote:
Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA
9342/10156 (92%)| 0:06/ 0:06| 0:06/ 0:06| 39.940x| 0:00
32 [ 80] %***
[code]....
any app that can analyze VBR/ABR filez - not just output a bogus bitrate, but return a more detailed info. LAME has a '-g' (run graphical analysis) option which has to be enabled during the compile time - tried several ways and -g is still disabled, plus there is not much info on -g and i do not even know if this is what I am looking for.

What I want to do is force my DVD burner to use full writing power on the entire surface of a DVD. This should be able to invisibly damage the contained data, and should work on CDs, DVDs and BRDs too (in theory). I don't want to write data over it, so it's not a matter of having a RW disc or a R one. The result I want to obtain is simply an unreadable disc that does not look damaged. Do you know if there's a program able to ignore a disc being already full and perform this task?

I'm using ubuntu 9.04; I have a large project in windows that I want to "port" it in linux.
It uses IPC mechanism "Shared memory" and also "Critical Section" APIs in windows, but unfortunately I have no good reference to change these windows APIs to their equivalent in linux?
Is there a comprehensive documentation or reference for this issues? I mean a table containing the equivalent APIs or systemcalls in windows and linux! For example, what's an alternative for the "InitializeCriticalSection" API in linux? Or an alternative for "CRITICAL_SECTION" structure? Or even an alternative for "RegOpenKeyEx", although we don't have registry in linux!!

Is there any equivalent of WaitFOrMultipleObjects on Linux?
I was finding a cross Platform library that allow you to run another program from your C++ application. I found POCO but it does not support functionality like WaitFOrMultipleObjects for both (linux and windows). I tried boost Process but its not official till now.
