I'm trying to track down a problem with the Ubuntu Software Centre.How do I launch it from the command line? or is there any command which would list any errors in the software centre package?
View 2 RepliesI typed in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it tells me it's already installed. Good. So it should work. I type sudo/etc/init.d/gdm start and the screen goes blank for 8 seconds three times in a row and then back to the command line. I have also tried gdm start without the path before and it says GDM already running. Aborting! I have 8.10 and it's a valid disk (no errors).

When I launch it, a window opens, a dialog (to confirm that I know what I am doing) pop-ups, I choose "Yes", the application starts to initialize, and after 0.5-1s the window is closed without any error message. Does anybody know how to at least find out what is wrong? .. or how to launch it from command line to get some output?

View 3 Replies View RelatedCommand Center is a Java applet, and unfortunately, OpenJDK (and it's corresponding icetea plugin) do not work, they cause Firefox 3.5 to blow up and disappear. I had to remove OpenJDK and the icetea plugin, and install Sun's proprietary Java and the corresponding Java Console plugin in order to get it to work. Java can be downloaded from the Sun website, or you can use Autoten, it's the first choice on the Autoten menu. The Java Console plugin can be found by going to edit-->preferences-->Main-->Manage Add-ons--> Get Add-ons in Firefox, and search for Java. I'm still wondering if it was necessary to delete OpenJDK instead of just the icetea plugin, but, it didn't make sense to have both free and non-free Java running in the same install.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using a program called easystroke to invoke commands from mouse gestures - typically to launch an application. 'gnome-terminal', for example. If I already have a gnome-terminal window open, and I invoke the gnome-terminal gesture, I'd like to be setting focus to the already running instance, rather than spawn a new instance, which is of course what happens now. (I am actually more interested in this for my gmail chrome app shortcut, and other larger apps.)
I'm very new to ubuntu and linux in general, but I was hoping there might be a nifty command I could wrap around my launch command that would produce this behavior. (I'm imagining some kind of singleton app list keeper program that consumes my command line, checks if it's already in the list, transfers focus to the running process if it is (and if that process is still running), or else spawns a new process and then adds it to its list using the the command line as a key.)
Code: cmd='date | wc'
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
I installed the Berkeley DB on the Ubuntu server and tried to access the dbxml from the command line and it returns command not found
path/to/dir/dbxml-2.5.16/install/bin$dbxml
-bash" dbxml: command not found
Can someone point me in the right direction
I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?
