How do I get launch feedback for Qt applications such as VLC? For example, if I open a file with a gtk application the mouse turns into a spinning thing to show the application is loading, but this does not happen with Qt applications.
View 7 RepliesAs the subject of this post suggests i'm trying to launch Ubuntu applications from a php script, i have tried different ways of doing this but without much success.Firstly i would like to explain why and maybe somebody may have a better suggestion or an alternative route...I am making a 'personal' remix of Ubuntu which will be a live CD i can use for my university work (studying computer forensics), it will basically be a minimal install with every Linux based forensics application i can lay my hands on,instead of having a huge list of shortcut's in the menu's that ship with Ubuntu I though it would be fun/a challenge to make a fancy PHP based web site which contained a database of the programs so i could search through them and find what i need by category ect and then launch those applications from the same site.I can 'talk' to Ubuntu through some small scripts i've tried but i can't launch any applications.Here is what i've got so far....
Code:
<?php

I recently installed stacks for Docky using the script of this link here [URL]
Until that, everything is okay. I can drag and drop folders to Docky, and when I click 'em I can easily see it's content like in Mac OS or Cairo.
But the problem here is that I wanted to make an Application folder like in Mac OS X. I made a folder that I called aplications and there I put all the applications I have installed.
But, when I try to open an app from the Docky, it just opens gedit with info about the app I'm trying to open. Is it related that all the application's names are .desktop files? Is that an executable?
Below I leave two caps, the first is of the folder opened in Docky stacks. The second is of what I get when I try to open and application directly from stacks.

This works well when I launch server tasks that don't require an interface, however when trying to launch Amarok on the host from a remote session, I get an error about DBUS and display obviously. Just to clarify, I do not want them to launch on the phone itself but on the host, If I start them manually while at the host II can then control them remotely fine once they are started. . .
After upgrading to Natty from Maverick I started playing with the Compiz settings (trying to get my cube back), causing the Launcher to vanish!
This means I can't launch any applications - is there an easy way to restore it?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I'm using the Gnome desktop (Ubuntu Classic) instead of Unity.
My problems is, when I launch certain applications, most of the time LibreOffice ones, Ubuntu desktop freezes.
When this happens the desktop becomes unresponsive to the keyboard. However the mouse pointer can still be moved around. Everything on the screen will freeze including panels and their items.
This happens only when an application launches.
I have already set up a shortcut key combination so that Ctrl + Alt + Backspace will perform a session restart. But when the above mentioned problem occurs, shortcut keys do not work (so I can't just do a session restart). So there's nothing to do other than restarting the laptop by holding the power button down.
Ubuntu 11.04. I would like to move the Applications Icon, the one that launches a window where I can view and launch all my applications. I want to move it up near the top of the Launcher Bar, where it would be more readily accessed. I've tried "clicking and dragging but the only thing I can do is switch places with the "Files & Folders" Icon.

It's a rather easy but very good program that provide info to sound engineers train the detection of feedback frequencies. Do you know if such a thing already exists? I haven't been able to find it in the Ubuntu Software Center.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Maverick right now, but the problem also occurs with Lucid. My sound card is a creative X-Fi Titanium (emu20k2). Audio playback is fine, surround is fine, etc. Audio capture is "fine" too - the problem is that the microphone picks up everything that the headset is outputting. This is very strange since the headset is a noice-cancelling headset and in order for that to happen on other platforms (windows) I essentially have to turn the volume up to astronomical levels. As always, this doesn't happen on windows.
Needless to say this poses somewhat of a problem with VoIP applications since folks I'm interacting with constantly hear themselves echoed back by me. The only solution is to tune down the microphone volume but that adds another problem: people can no longer hear me clearly.
So my question is: is there a way to enable echo reduction for Pulse Audio so that the mic doesn't constantly capture what's coming from the outputs? And yes - when I look at the "input" tab in the sound preferences application I can see the marker move if I speak - same with pavucontrol
Have been using Lubuntu Natty (32-bit) happily for a few days now, even generated a remastered iso (urxvt, custom .bashrc, .bash_aliases, Chromium with AdBlock Plus, Tabs to the Front, Context Menu Search, Unified Openbox and GTK themes, aria2c, htop). One of the Peppermint OS developers put together a 64-bit version of Lubuntu Natty. Downloaded and installed it from USB (using USB Creator) today. Hangs pretty bad at LXDM login screen.

So I've used Jack Control for sometime now to control my recording suite that I use (Ardour, Rakarak, and Hydrogen Drum Machine) recently however, when I start the Jack control, as soon as I connect input to output in the connections window, it's like it has internal feedback. The feedback crescendos, then cuts out. after that (let's say I have my Fender plugged into the sound card) if I strike a string there it comes out muddy distorted with an awful echo (some what like what echo would sound like on blown speakers). I have checked all the settings, everything is as it was before when it worked fine... dunno... is Lucid possessed?

First off, this isn't the usual "physical" feedback of a speaker being too close to the mic. This mic is part of a headset so there's no way for the output and input to overlap and cause feedback. This mic has worked perfectly for me in the past, but I recently re-installed my OS and it hasn't worked since.
It seems as if my audio out is getting redirected to microphone in. If I open up and sound recording program while I have some audio being output, the output will get echoed back in through the microphone channel, although any actual microphone input is never picked up. I can blow or scream into the mic and there's no indication at all that Linux is picking it up.
I'm running ArchLinux with ALSA. I've gone into alsa mixer and played with just about every channel in every way I can think of, and none of the options seem to fix the problem.
How should I fix this? I use my mic pretty much constantly when I'm on the computer, being without it sucks.
I use Squeeze. I just recently upgraded from Lenny. My sources.list is a combination of Debian DVDs and some http repos (for multimedia, non-free, and security updates). I rely largely on DVDs because I use dial-up.

I am going to be involved with a massive filesystem copy from a local to a remote server in the next couple of weeks. There are ten filesystems in involved in this process. All, except one, are one hundred gigabytes in size, with the remaining one at twenty gigabytes.The cp command with the -pr options will be used to copy the directories to their new location. A speed test, involving ten directories, was done to determine the average amount of time it would take to complete the process. The ten directories used in this test ranged in size from 2.3 gigabytes to 4.3 gigabytes. The results indicated the average amount time to complete the copy was around one minute and thirty seconds.
The question I have is the following: Is it better to interactively go to each filesystem and run the cp -pr command there, or should I write a script that will automatically go to each filesystem and run the copy?
