View 2 RepliesI'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my family's 4 netbooks. Sadly (and a big mistake in my opinion?), I can't add a temp monitoring applet to my panel, but that's not really the point. I am needing a way to monitor my computer temps that includes a graph (kinda like a CPU usage monitoring graph).
I really need this ability because I have another regular laptop that overheats at times and I would like to see the history without using a script to do it via text and logging.
I have a while(1) loop, and the error is: glibtop: open (/proc/stat): Too many open files This error occurs after about a half hour to an hour of running. I've tried running this multiple times, both with using glib_close() at the end of the loop, using glib_init() and glib_close() at beginning/end, and just using glib_init(). The strange thing is these have no effect on the actual glib_get functions.

But when I maximize any application(be it chrome, firefox, vlc, media player), the whole screen becomes white and when I escape from it to make it of small window, it again runs normally. Sometimes it work fine, but most of the times it is like what I told above. Please tell me some solution or I will have to go back to windows.

I downloaded emacs, and wanted to use php-mode, so i downloaded something called php-mode. I would have posted a link, but this forum restricts me from doing that.
Inside are a bunch of files, and no readme. I tried to ask google how to install this, but found nothing that made sense to me (i am still a n00b).
I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 netbook remix on an Asus Eee PC 1001PX.
uname -a says:
Linux localhost 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 01:12:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
I can't open the GUI for most of the applications in system > administration and some in system > preferences. In preferences IBus preferences, Main Menu, Prodcast Preferences, Ubuntu One are affected and in administration only Disk Utility, Login Screen, Synaptic, Network Tools, Time & Date, Users & Groups, Update Manager do start (Sorry, that I state the apps that run, but this list seemed shorter to me.). There's just a notification prompted that the program is started but then nothing happens.
Further, the update manager posts a notification in the panel that "A problem occurred when checking for updates." I have the feeling that this occurred at the same time as I couldn't start the programs anymore. Up to now I wasn't able to find out what the problem is, but I didn't touch the software sources. I read threads about similar problems and there something seemed to be mixed up with the files /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname. But I checked on that and it's fine in my case.
- open terminal and type gconf-editor - apps -> metacity -> global_keybinding and look for panel_main_menu - right click and edit, change value to "Super_L" without the quote.

The result was not very useful for what I wanted and I removed all the application including wine and Playonlinux completely from my computer (9.10 64bit).But I was not really able to completely clean up what I did because when I right click on any files and use "OPEN WITH", I got a LONG list of application with many of them are uninstalled and duplicated.
View 9 Replies View Relatedit's really easy to launch an application using alt+f2 without having to worry about it while it's running but in terminal the window must remain open and you can't run anything else while the application is running e.g. firefox, rhythmbox. does anyone know how to run applications in the background while using terminal?

As far as I know, it's in a fresh install state, so it shouldn't be missing dependencies....For example, if I try and open Pidgin, it'll appear on the taskbar for a few seconds and disappear again. Running in terminal gives:michael@linuxserver:~$ pidginBus errormichael@linuxserver:~$ I also can't get Movie Player, Empathy or evolution to open

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone recommend a simple open source voip software in linux for pc-to-pc voice calls.
One requirement i that it should be simple with bare minimal functionality since I will be using as a part of a university project and so I don't want any additional features such as buddylist, GUI, etc.
Even a command line interface will also be fine since I am only interested to test different associated codecs/network characteristics.
The code should be simple with bare minimal libraries so that can be compiled easily.
I am aware of some open-source software such as WengoPhone but it seems that they have lot of associated features supporting different input devices with sophisticated GUI.
I require only PC-to-PC call functionality and I will be using within a LAN.
If i open any application, it opens twice everytime and if i close one, the other one also closes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small question regarding remote access through SSH. Here is the thing: it's been a while now that I am using SSH to remotely login servers, and more recently my own machines to transfer information from my school's workstation to my Aspire One (I effectively work in the Aspire One through a 24 inch monitor).
Anyway I was wondering if it is possible to open programs like evince through SSH. I'll describe what I am doing: the Aspire One sits next to my workstation (so I am seeing it's screen as well) and in the workstation I work in LaTex documents actually residing in the Aspire One, so what I want to do from time to time is to open graphical apps in my Aspire One from my workstation through SSH (needless to say that I open the graphical session in the AO with the same user I do SSH, and the AO runs Fedora 12).
I was tackling this question before using specifics and got nowhere, so now I am going to general. I have a certain application on my machine and many files which can only open using that application. When I open those files, they do not use that application, but use the Archive Manager instead. When I go to "Open With" --> "Other" this application is not in the "other" list. I want to emphasize that because so far everyone assumes too quickly that I didn't try that. This application was installed using the Software Manager, the files that came with fedora. The application is on my machine, this is a fact. I am able to go find the application and open it up manually. Why wouldn't Fedora know that this app is on my machine?

When i tried to open Dolphine, Fire fox, Terminal or for that mater any application nothing happens. None of the applications opened successfully. Then i tried to configure plasmoid widgets and for my surprise all worked fine. With this problem i can not login to opensuse desktop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen a new instance of a running KDE 4 application (kwrite, konqueror, etc.) is run under opensuse 11.4 with KDE4 it seems that the default behaviour is to open a new tab in the running instance.
This occurs when the new instance is called from the command line; the start menu; the run dialogue; or a desktop icon, even when called from a separate desktop. In konqueror the menu option <File> <new window> opens a new tab and seems redundant.
How can a user force KDE 4 applications to run a new instance in a separate frame / window when another instance of that application is already running?
