I am looking for a method to run a shell script or open an application through the web browser.For example, open OpenOffice from the browser (without going through the menus).Is it possible?My ultimate goal to pass an argument through the browser to a script. I know it is pretty far fetched for my very limited abilities but I wanna try. For example I want to pass an URL or a text string from the browser to a shell script

For some reason when i'm working on things or while using a browser the current window gets dark (shaded) and everything freezes. The only way i can get rid of it is by turning my computer off. Why does this happen and how can i stop it from happening? It happens alot while using audio recording software.

There is a network proxy and I did apply the network proxy setting system wide.
Applications like Dropbox, Messenger etc stopped connecting to internet which were working very well until yesterday.

Anyone know how to change the icon sizes in Gnome's Application Browser or Control Center?
It seems mine used to be larger but now they are quite small. I looked in gconf editor but I didn't find anyhing.
I'm unable to set GNU IceCat as the default browser for my user account (it's not on the list of available applications in the GNOME thingy). Do you have any clue why?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME. I went through the Software Manager and deleted every instance of OpenOffice.org that was left after changing to LibreOffice, and also installed Beagle (+dependencies) and Tracker with some additional packages. Then I noticed that in the Application Browser there is no text next to the icons. Only the small version of the icons centered with no text (screenshot below).
The problem is I have no idea how to restore it to the way it was. I've already deleted Beagle and Tracker and their packages to no avail. I also noticed that YaST and Control Center both look fine. It's only the Application Browser.
Why can't I copy from a web browser and paste into a shell?
Sometimes it works, other is does not.
I also used the right click menus to make 100% sure that COPY and then Paste were valid
Is there any way to 1) write a script to save only the URL opened in a multiple browser and multiple tabs to notepad.2)how to open multiple URL in browser tab through shell script.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI like openSuSE, but the main thing I miss from Ubuntu is the ability to have complete control over the applications menu. Ubuntu had a clean menu where everything was one level deep, with pretty basic categories. But opening alacarte in openSuSE (running 11.2 with GNOME) is an absolute mess. There are categories for "Astronomy", "Kidsgames", and a whole bunch of folders that I would never use. And it's nearly impossible to get rid of them. Selecting delete almost never works; the closest I've gotten was to re-name a whole bunch of ".directory" files so that the system wouldn't find them, but it still created the majority of them, only this time with generic folders over the default icons.
Plus, I would like to be able to change which application goes to which category in the Application Browser. That menu is much more clean, but I would like to create a "Games" section for it, and move my text editors from Utility to Development. I know that most of the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications (I have a couple in /usr/local/share), the directories are defined in /usr/share/desktop-directories and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories, and the menu itself seems to define categories in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu. But despite knowing all of this, I still have no idea how to clean up alacarte and how to move around launchers in the Application Browser.
I need sudo for www (apache) user to run a shell script('ip.sh' contains iptables rules) from cgi-bin directory via browser using a per script. I edit sudoers( www ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL ),but when run the bellow command that's with err:
# sudo -u www sh /srv/www/cgi-bin/ip.sh
iptables v1.4.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. And:
# ls -al ip.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 243 Sep 7 14:18 ip.sh
I edit sudoers so
'www ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /srv/www/cgi-bin/ip.sh,/usr/sbin/iptables' too. but it doesn't work too. how can I execute this script via browser ?
When I try to launch application which runs in another window (not inside shell), it always fails with this kind of message: (example from gnome-terminal)
Code:
** (gnome-terminal:2477): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported Failed to get the session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Falling back to non-factory mode. Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) I am running it as root, have GNOME installed and running, and also fresh install of gconf.
Consider that I am building my application in Linux shell using make command but somehow the build fails. Is there any way I can find out that the build has failed (of course looking at shell for error messages will do the job for me but I don't want that). Is there any flag make or shell will set/reset if such failure occurs ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running an application called QuantiSNP [URL]. The binary file is "quantisnp2", called upon in the "run_quantisnp2.sh" supplied by the authors. I am only able to run the application for single file processing (e.g. 1 input file for 1 sample; I can't run the batch file processing because I don't have the necessary BeadStudio report files, which has different formatting for the input files).
The difficulty is that I have 300 samples (300 unique sample IDs) and 3 input files for each sample for a total of 900 runs of this application. I am wondering how would I be able to automate this process as a shell script instead of basically manually changing the sample ID and respective input files every time a run completes? I bolded the single file processing shell script command line options below that need to be changed for each sample/input single file processing run. The command line option "--sampleid" is for the name given to the processed output files corresponding to the sample of interest and there are 3 input files for each sample.
/home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/linux64/run_quantisnp2.sh /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/MCR/v79/ --config /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/config/params.dat --levels /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/config/levels-affy.dat --outdir /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp_out/ --sampleid sample1 --gender female --input-files /home2/jason/files/sample1_input.txt
Note that each sample has 3 input files, for a total of 3 runs of "quantisnp2" for each sample. e.g.
SAMPLEID INFILE
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input.txt
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input2.txt
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input3.txt

We have zabbix Network monitoring tool installed on two servers 172.17.11.6 ( Master ) and 172.17.11.3 ( Slave ) RHEL 5.4 Servers with 172.17.11.4 being Virtual Ipaddress.We are trying to implement High Availability with Red Hat Cluster Suite.OS level Clustering has been implemented with following cluster configuraiton.
But we need to implement Application level clustering for Zabbix_server process which inturn depends on httpd and mysqld deamons to be running.So I have to check the health of mysqld and httpd with a shell script along with the health of zabbix_server process.Any good tutorials for this ? Any guidlines that I have to follow ?Here I may need to take care of following things when any one of the process goes down
1. Shifhting Virtual IP
2. Shifting /dev/sdb1 ( Shared drive to slave )
3. stopping other services on master
4. starting all the services on slave

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application named OpenFTD which lists spots on usenet. I have an NZB button that opens a webbrowser and opens a webpage where I can create the appropriate NZB. All great however, somehow, the web browser is misconfigured.
When I press the button I can debug this:
Code:
Error showing url: Failed to execute child process "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" (No such file or directory)Which makes sense, at some point in time, I had chrome.
I tried:
- to reinstall openFTD and also removed all user files. Doens't change a thing.
- checked update-alternatives x-www-browser (set to opera)
- reset update-alternatives x-www-browser (firefox, just to try)
- checked udpate-alternatives gnome-www-browser (firefox)
Is there some other thing in Ubuntu that I can tweak/tune to get rid of "something" that is obviously linking to chrome.
Of course, I understand the reinstalling chrome gets rid of this issue, but I rather have it fixed.
Is it possible to add a menu option to allow me to open a program as root from inside the application browser window? In windows if you hold ctrl and right click a program icon your given the option to "run as" (windows equivalent of sudo). Is there a way to get something like that in the application browser in gnome?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, supposedly Gnome Shell is available through synaptic. I just downloaded and installed it and then ran gnome-shell --replace. It doesn't work at all. I hit the windows key and get nothing and there is no application launcher in the upper left hand corner and Alt-f2 produces nothing at all. Alt-tab gives me the option of choosing the windows that were running when I ran gnome-shell --replace but nothing else works at all. Just a vast expanse of digital nothingness. Does anyone know why this might be? I have an nvidia video card (see sig below) and two monitors running from "twin view".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm surfing along just fine when I select some link in my browser.The status line reports "... waiting for ..." and the browser seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Often, but not every time, I can select the STOP toolbar icon and reload the page. This time things work normally.
I have a similar but different malfunction running Evolution email connected to my hosted IMAP server. I select a message and see "... formatting ..." and then Evolution seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Rarely the stop-reload actions help reading email. Instead,all Evolution windows go dark grey and the entire desktop stalls.[Analysis -- It has the feel of a "network" issue provoking issues within Evolution itself rather than an Evolution-only malfunction.]
Watching the running system with 'htop' and similar, I do not see where some other application or service is sucking all of the available CPU time or such. [Analysis -- It has the feel that either the browser message or the email message were sent into limbo without reaching their intended destination. Stop-reload sends the bits to the right places and so I get results.]
