Ubuntu :: Run Sessions Menu From Command Line?
Jul 8, 2010
I want to find a way to bring up the session menu without using the Indicator Applet Session in the default gnome panel. I've figured out how to do this for the main menu with a keyboard shortcut (Alt+F1). And I found Ubuntu documentation here that says Super+Esc will bring up the Sessions Menu in Lucid but it doesn't work for me. I could create a custom launcher if I knew what command would bring up this menu but I can't find any info on this. Basically I want to get rid of the default gnome panel but still have the functionality of the Sessions Menu.Note: I removed the Me Menu from my Indicator Applet Session by running sudo apt-get remove indicator-me in a terminal. Would this be interfering with the keyboard shortcut?

I was wondering, is it possible to open Ubuntu's main menu from the command line? I've been searching for the answer for about 30 min's now but no luck.

I'm wanting to be able to run the Open Suse start menu from the command line.king remotely, I have found that I have faster response time by only running specific X components instead of an entire desktop (particularly useful under Windows 7 Cygwin). Specifically, I'd like to invoke the start menu from a ssh command line.On Linux Mint,line command is:mintmenuWhat is the equivalent command to bring up the Slab Start Menu on Open Suse?

Code:
grub-install -v
grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
I loaded GRUB, and now when I reboot it goes straight into the 'grub>' command line. Initially GRUB had the root as (hd0,2), whereas the boot is on (hd0,1)...(hd0,2) is my '/home' partition, and (hd0,1) is my '/' partition... So on a bootup I ran...
Code:
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
Now when I boot I still get the 'grub>' command line, but now the root is correct.
From 'grub>' I can type...
Code:
grub> configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
GRUB will then show the menu, and I can click the listings to load them. All's fine, but why doesn't GRUB just load the menu.lst without my prompting? How can I automate this process of typing 'configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst' each time I boot?

How can i edit grub menu from initial grub screen is it possible to it's own 'e' option or 'c' from grub command line?

I have included a "start" (slackware logo) button and an exit button. The problem is, neither of these buttons work. The start button should bring up the fluxbox menu but I have found to bring up this menu is by right clicking on the screen.the only way to logout and go back to the login screen seems to be via the fluxbox menu. Running "exit" from the command line only exits the terminal of course.

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
My system:
Intel i7
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
android-sdk-linux-x86
eclipse 3.6.2

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

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 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?

I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:

USAGE="
${0##*/} [-x] [-g]

However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm

How can we do everything, or as much as we can do, from the command line? In particular, I am trying to get rid of the top panel in Ubuntu. Because,
1) It takes unnecessary valuable space.
2) Even if I use a huge monitor, it introduces distraction to me while working.
I created a shortcut so that with a single keyboard key I can open a terminal. For example, if I want to restart the computer, I use: "sudo shutdown -r now". Or I can even create a shorter alias. So I do not need the logout menu. But my problem is, some programs put an icon on the top panel when they are working. So, what is the best way of using command line, and getting rid of the top menu.

sftp 10.99.99.99
ssh: connect to host 10.99.99.99 port 22: No route to host

About two months ago I upgraded my dual boot Linux-x86-64 Vista from Heron to 10.04 Lucid. Initially everything worked fine including wireless etc. Once I accidentally changed a few /etc permissions which caused a problem, but fixed it going into recovery mode. For the past weeks, I only used the windows. Over the weekend I tried logging into Ubuntu, the gnome would not come up. So, I went into recovery mode and typed "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which also went through. However, after that I lost the recovery options. I had used that command very successfully in the past. Right now, I have no command line that would allow me to type something. I was wondering if there are any keys Alt+Del + something that would give me a prompt I can work with. I'm totally baffled as to how this can happen.

Lately I have been very interested in minimal Linux distro's. At the moment I am specifically searching for command line only intended distro's (up to date) and even more preferable: command line only distro's available on a live cd or usb. Can anyone of you point me in a right direction or recommend a distro?
