Im trying to make an all in one program splash screen for ubuntu.
the idea behind this is, I have alot of staff at my store who will be using a system system for a few programs, but almost none of them have any real use of ubuntu.
What I would like to do is have them log in and instead of seeing the desktop have a splash screen pop up with the program choices they can use, all in one place.
I am new to linux and am trying out script writing. I am using shell. How can I make a script to open a program then operate within that program?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to make rhythmbox appear when I load it? At the moment it just puts an icon in my notification tray. However, I just want it to appear so I can choose music! Does anyone know how I can just make rhythmbox appear on screen when I start it up?On a related note, does anyone know why rhythmbox has this odd behaviour? If I'm starting the music program, there's pretty much a 100% chance I want to start playing music, and I can't do that without looking at my music list in the player. So why would it not appear by default?

It's a Java program started by a shell script
#!bin/sh
java -jar LinShredder.jar
It starts okay in its original folder, but when I link to it from e.g. the desktop it doesn't work.
I amtrying to install a program and at the point when I am required to execute the command "make clean" and then after "make all" , I obtain the following eror message:
ndoheric@nen-laptop:/opt/WAVEFORPGM/distribute$ make clean
cd ./MyTime; make clean

I was curious if you can make a program (lets call it cplay for music). The only thing allowed during a session. I ask this because I wanted to use my laptop as a boom-box for when I have friends over and what not. But I only want them to be able to scroll through Cplay and change the song if they find something else they like. With out them being able to open anything else. I have it so all you can do in the terminal is the Cplay options and you can not end it without ending the Terminal session it self. But now I want only that to be allowed and nothing else. (if you understand what I mean).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've made a LED gadget, which can light up LED patterns. It connects to serial port with RS232 protocol and receives messages which contain desired patterns. My friend wrote a python program which generates patterns and writes them to terminal. Everything is fine this far. I've made a bash script to run this program:
#!/bin/bash
python gen.py
and set it to autostart with:
chmod 755 scr.sh
mv scr.sh /etc/init.d/scr.sh
sudo update-rc.d scr.sh defaults
What I don't understand is - how do I redirect it's output to ttyS0 so that my device could catch generated data?
I've heard that in Linux every data stream can be redirected anywhere with '>>' in bash script. How do I do that? Can I, dunno, write something like this: python gen.py >> ttyS0 in shell script?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to know how to make a program use a version of python older than the newest one. I am trying to run the Traipse fork of OpenRPG. Through their forums, I have learned that one of my problems is that I am running too new a version of python. I have python 2.7.1 installed.
I also have python2.6.6 installed, so I should be able to use that. My first thought was to uninstall 2.7.1 and just use the older version. The problem is that if i uninstall 2.7.1, it wants to also uninstall all the packages dependent on that program. Let's face it, in Natty Narwhal, that is pretty much everything.
Do you know how to force Traipse make it use the 2.6 version?
After installing a few packages without a package manager (yast), I was wonding if there is anyway to make a shortcut (or application link or whatever its call) for any given program you install to show up automatically on all users desktops and start menus(for lack of a linux term). For example I installed firefox to a folder in the /opt directory and found that i could drag and drop the shell command to the desktop to make a shortcut, or i could create a new application link on my desktop and point it at firefox. But what If i wanted that to show up for all users somewhere by default? Is there anything like the "all users" desktion winXP or the "public user" in win7?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server which runs a game server. On that dedi, I had Debian installed, and I wanted to have graphical access to it so I installed Gnome and nxserver. I want the game server to run automatically when the server boots up and have it appear in a console window when I connect to nxserver. So I added it in the Startup list by going in System > Administration > Session.
My problem is that the program doesn't start when the system boots up, but only when I connect to nxserver. So I assume it is something like gnome not starting up or opening a session until I open one remotely or something such.
But is there anyway to have that game server start in a console window when the system starts up? I tried using init.d but the problem is that it doesn't open any window, and I need to interact with the server through the console. What can I do?
