I have a few thousand .doc and .odt files (Word & OpenOffice documents) in a folder. Under 9.04, I was able to run a query search for keywords by using; Places - search for files - contains the text. It would find files with the text that I requested every time.
Now that I have 9.10, that search function does not work any more.
I am using fedora14 and evolution 2.32.2 email client. I cannot search all of my local email folders anymore. I can search folders individually, but when I try to search them all I get no results. Any ideas?
It would appear that the search (find) function has been removed from Konqueror in KDE 4.6. Is that the case? By "search" I mean the ability to search your hard drive, not a web page or document.
When I try to write email, and enter the first few letters of the recipient in the "to:" box, it sometimes but not always autocompletes. i.e., let's say my contact's name is Frederick, his address is e.g. robertsharry@snotmail.com. I enter Fred or fred or fre, a couple of addresses come in to the autocomplete drop-down, but not his. After searching all over over to find his address by other means, I start to write it in manually only to find that he IS in my address book (and also in recent addresses), listed under Freddie. I know that the word Freddie is not in his actual address, but what is the point of having a search function if you have to remember the address yourself? In other words surely the drop down search should show display names (as well as any other fields)?
I recently put Ubuntu on my HP G series laptop that originally had Windows Vista and ever since some select function keys (i.e. dim/brighten display) and the num lock/num pad won't work. Why is this and can I fix it?
Is anyone having problems with the "Web Slice" plasmoid desktop widget? I'm trying to get it to display my download usage, by showing my ISPs webpage [URL] (no login reqd) I can get it to pull-in a URL, and specify a div label, altho while I'm configuring it the zoom is a bit random, but it kinda works. Main problem is with grabbing a specific section via pixel geometry: x,y,width,height whatever I enter for x,y just isn't doing anything, in fact the geometry settings don't seem to be having any affect that I can see.
I just upgraded my computer to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. Whenever I open Synaptic Package Manager it opens normally. If I type into the "Quick search" box, when I try to type in a word as soon as I type the second letter Synaptic immediately closes. However, if I click on the full "Search" button, this function works as it should. I just can't use Quick Search. Synaptic closes every time.
I uninstalled synaptic from a terminal by typing [CODE] apt-get remove synaptic. Then I reinstalled using [CODE] apt-get install synaptic. Reinstalling did not fix the problem. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
I'm making a programm under OpenSuse 11.1I'm using SDL and ofcourse SDL_TTF.when i render with the SDL's TTF function under main(), i have no problems, but when i render under thread i have segmentation fault.There is not exist any typing or any competition (i'm using semaphores) but even if i try to render on a local SDL_Surface i'm having the Segmentation fault...
I'm writing a Perl script to find an old key in a file and replace it with a new codefirst the program should find the old key in the input file. here is the way I used in my script. but it doesn't work.May you please let me know what is wrong and how I can correct it?the key is stored in the file in the following format:
PHP Code: Key=("1234567" , someOtherVrable) I want 1234567
I want to install Linux on my laptop. I started with Arch but 4 hours later, I'll take anything so now I'm trying Ubuntu.It appears that the keyboard function button that corresponds to my wireless does not work, and perhaps is windows dependent?Every time I try to interact with wlan0, I get the error "Operation not possible due to RF-kill". And as I've looked around online, it has been suggested in other forums that the only way to resolve this is to reinstall windows and dual boot, so the FN key will work.
I think this is ridiculous. There must be a way to persuade the RF-kill to be turned off again, shouldn't there?I don't have a recover disk for this laptop and I don't want to go through the trouble of requested one from acer. I reformatted the whole disk while attempted to install arch.
Does anybody have strigi krunner plugin work as search-engine and not as lottery? Same goes with search desktop containment - when typing in few letters from the file name, it never founds the file, only displaying ca 10 random files based on content(i guess) instead.
I have the plugin installed ok and have pasted in a C source file that I know works and am getting the following errors, I think because the linker options need to be set in some way. I cannot copy the errors but they all complain of implicit declaration of functions like this: -
warning: implicit declaration of function strlen
But I have the headers included, is this a linker problem? Here is the code -
I bought a multifunction stylus sx218 Espon model and I can not run the scanner function. I did some research and found a few solutions and very functional. I hope someone solves the problem. My version of openSUSE 11.2.
I am doing some Linux kernel programming for my research project. I need to record the timestamp (by using cpuid and rdtsc) when an interrupt handler (top half) is first invoked. Due to the time critical nature of the problem itself, I have to do the timestamping inside the interrupt handler itself (the first operation when the handler is called). However, I understand that tasks that are not so time critical should be deferred to a tasklet function (bottom half) for processing because other interrupts are disabled in a (top-half) interrupt handler. I am currently out of idea on how I can pass the timestamp information that I have obtained in the interrupt handler to the corresponding tasklet function.
i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?
i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.
I'm currently using OpenSuse 11.1 web server. This is bad since 11.1 is no longer supported. the reason why I am using it is because Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() was no longer being used. (so I was told)
That being said, is there a way to get Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() to function on the newer versions of OpenSuSE?
the function terminates if no key is pressed for 10 consecutive seconds. I tried using the -t option as suggested in some forums, but my version of showkey doesn't have the option of changing the timeout. The options I get are:
-h --helpdisplay this help text -a --asciidisplay the decimal/octal/hex values of the keys -s --scancodesdisplay only the raw scan-codes -k --keycodesdisplay only the interpreted keycodes (default).
Is it possible to write a script to use this function and still keep the function active until an interrupt is recieved?
I have a late 2009 MacBook, white, unibody, and I wish for the F1-F12 function keys to have their primary role as F1-F12 keys, but allow me to use them as media/volume/brightness keys as a secondary role, when the "fn" key is held down at the same time as corresponding key.
I have Opera 11.01 installed on Ubuntu 10.10. The "check all"mail function doesn't work even when "include this account when checking manually" is checked. If I check my accounts one at a time everything works properly. Whats up, is this a problem with Opera or Ubuntu?I should mention that my computer is a quadruple boot system.I have Windows 7, Windows XP, Ubuntu 32 bit and 64 bit installed.Ubuntu 64 bit is the only OS having mail problems
Neither Ubuntu's Unity or KDE respond to the function keys on a regular Apple USB keyboard. I can plug in a non-Apple keyboard and they work just fine. What needs to be changed or configure so that F1 and company on the Apple keyboard work as on other keyboards?
So, I downloaded Debian Package Search. I search for an application. Right click on the name of the application, click Install/Update Package,nd it throws me this terminal window that asks: "Please enter root password". Now I'm sure that's my user password, but when I try to enter it.. nothing. My keyboard doesn't work. In the normal terminal window it works perfectly, but there I get nothing. Just wondered if anyone experienced the same problem, and the workaround.
For some reason, my Konqueror can't use Find Files. When I enter the parameters and then click find, the search instantly ends with nothing found, even when I know the item(s) exist. I do have kfind installed, and just tried reinstalling it and Konqueror.
I do not know where the problem occurs, but when sending mail through FCI mail () on the Gmail e-mail fails to deliver. The logo is not a bug and should be on the list, center, walks etc mails totally normal, but gmail does not pass anything. Nothing in the spam ... I tried to create a new mail to Gmail and send the message, and nothing may be ...
You have no idea where it could be a potential bug? from webmail to send mail to gmail is realized, but through the mail () not ... I thought that the problem is in a blacklist from Google, but a week ago, we changed the IP server (migration) and the problem still persists ..
I'm trying to find a good desktop search tool. Beagle is dead, Recoll and Strigi are KDE, and Tracker is not many features (can't even search Thunderbird 3). Do I miss something? Is desktop search on Linux dead? Should I use Google Desktop Search instead
