Ubuntu :: Stock Ticker Applet Or Good Stock Program For Natty 11.04?
Apr 28, 2011
I upgrading to natty 11.04 and lost all my gnome applets. Is there any good stock programs that work with natty and unity? I liked the invest applet on top bar in maverick 10.10. A standalone program to track stocks would be good also if no applet option is available.
I'm a business student and we have a stock ticker in the atrium of our building that was being run off of an old 386 computer that bit the dust. Unfortunately, the individuals who wrote the program that updates the ticker (with selected stocks only, from a student run portfolio) are long gone.
Basically, I'm looking for way to display certain stock quotes updated every few minutes on a real-life ticker (green lettering, scrolling side to side) with selected stocks, including the changes in stock price (arrows as well).
I've looked into programs like SMTM, but I'm not quite finding what I need. I don't have much scripting knowledge but I figured this could be done relatively easily, perhaps with GREP?
I am a newbie. I need a good free stock program (or non free if no free are available). For reading stock information real time and has to have bells and whistles. I dont want another widget im looking for a fully featured program but the problem with googling this is that all the hits I get are either old or link me to some marketing crap for windows. I understand that red hat runs lots of stock market stuff so fedora must have something available.
i cant seem to load mp3s into the stock burning program - "Brasero". i get this error message when i drop an mp3 into the program: "xxx.mp3" is not suitable for audio or video media.
Anyone know of of an automated stock market end of day quote retriever? Ideally this software would be a service that automatically updated a MySQL Database of stock quotes for EOD data (probably from Yahoo).
if jupiter does actually help with battery life,i installed it a few days ago and i made it not load at startup and my batery showed 3hours with gnome and when i ran jupiter on powersave mode the batery life jumped up by over half an hour,it seems to be lasting longer,also does it slow down the cpu at all,my pc seems slightly slugish with it on.
I'm currently using the popular Ambiance and Radiance Evolution themes, but now I want to get back to the regular Ambiance theme. I have locked folders in my home folder labelled Ambiance and Radiance, which I think was left over from the install. Does anyone know how how to get my old themes back? P.S - I already removed the Ambiance Evolution PPA and reloaded Synaptic Package Manager, but it did nothing.
Looking for suggestions on what tools to use. I'm a finance major with limited programming knowledge. I would like to start collecting my own stock data. I would like to pull data from google finance or something similar. Also, I subscribe to data from AAII, American Asso. of Individual Investors, and would like to add that data into the database. and be able to have a nice gui to run queries on. My interests are finding if there are various different arbitrage opportunities and fundamental value investments.
Very low budget. Want to run it on ubuntu. I was looking at Postgre SQL as the database, but really have no idea what is optimal. Not to sure on the gui or how to pull the data. If anyone is interested in the topic and would like to help me set up and run algorithms let me know too.
I saw that it's possible to use stock screenlet to show an exchange rate:[URL].. but I wasn't able to find out how to do that...I know that for let's say Google, you have to type GOOG (Nasdaq index) in the preferences, but there's no such index for exchange rate e.g. EUR-GBP.
I am using ubuntu 8.04 right now but I'd like to install ubuntu 10.10 or ubuntuStudio. Well I did it for trying as a dual boot just to see if it works. But I have files to back up. I tried to have them on dvds or usb but it takes time. I want to know if I can create a new partition where to stock my files and then erase the rest to install ubuntu 10.10.
When I am in gparted I see: /dev/sda 111.79GB: /dev/sda1 ext3 107GB /dev/sda2 extended 4.58GB -> I cant use it /dev/sda5 ext3 4.3GB /dev/sdb fat32 15GB -> I think its my ubuntustudio Is there any chance to create a new partition (40GB) to stock my files?
i was wondering how to get a api for analyzing the stock market or certain stocks from google finance and writing a database with a search alogorithm in c
So I know Linux has iptables, I'm rather new to linux, and I'm wondering, are the stock settings with Ubuntu/Kubuntu safe? Is there anything I need to do make them more secure? I tried adding rules myself for some things but ended up just not being able to do anything so I had to reset back to stock with iptables -F. Should I be safe running as-is?
I had some major bugs with KDE 4.3 and 4.4 and the only way that I could fix them was to install the entire KDE 4.5. This was mid-Summer. Now I would like to upgrade to Maverick the proper way and have 4.5 in a stock repo.
I managed to get most of kde back to stock by luck and uninstall/reinstalling kdebase stuff and kubuntu-desktop a couple of times. A pain in the neck trying to find important packages that are already installed from a previous PPA. BTW my sources.list is stock right now.
Does anyone know of a way to search for installed PPA packages that are not in the stock repository?
Is it possible to upgrade from stock version 2.3 to current 2.32 using YAST? I can see 2.32 when using a browser to look at the repository, but when I enter the repository as a software source in YAST, it does not show up in YAST. What steps am I missing? Can I use YAST, or should I just download the RPMs and go from there by hand?
So I think I almost have gnucash figured out. One problem though. When I try to import my stock quotes for my portfolios, It won't get any quotes for my OTC BB Stocks. Under the security editor, there is no option for OTC as an exchange. For example: CNEX. How would I set GnuCash up to import this quote?

I'm trying to run a java app from a stock chart service called ThinkorSwim. I've tried it in NetrunnerOS2, Ubuntu 10.4 and Ubuntu 10.10. All of them result in the same java error.:I'm running Sun Java 6 update 22 on all these OSs.The install seemed to go OK, and I get the splash screen when it starts up and I get a "loading desktop" type of message then it throws that error. I've googled for 2 days and nothing I find is dealing with this error.
I need to do some text file manipulation which I think should be done with standard commands in BASH. I'm looking at comma seperated text files (stock market data). It comes in the form of date, stock code, open, high, low, close, volume. What I need to do first is move all data with same stock code sequentially into individual files.
While doing this since the stock code will now be the file name I need to remove the stock code. Next I need to filter out overlapping data from different files with the same date. ie. where two files contain the same date on the one line only one line will be added to the combined file. I think there must be a tutorial out there for basic text manipulation like this, I just haven't found it yet.
Ok, Noobe to Ubuntu, recently installed Lucid, did all the updates, Got my UT 99 loaded and working natively with TeamSpeak 3 (yea, even the sound works now) ... I really like the setup I have now. Can some one recommend a good backup program to use that will "completely" backup my current system "as installed"? I have installed "Back in Time", and it seems really easy to use, but I'm looking for something similar to (sorry have to say it "Windows System Restore").
I've tweaked and tweaked, updated my ALSA drivers, working openAL and got the latest ATI driver installed for my ATI 5770 ... even got a Xfi linux beta working from Creative (that was fun).. Something user friendly too, I'm learning, but still very new to Linux/commandline/Ubuntu.
What is a Good Lightscribe Labeling Program for Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit? I installed LIGHTSCRIBE SIMPLE LABELER but it's the biggest piece of crap program, you can't even set the Font Size, all it allows you to do is set the Font. I'm not a Linux Expert so I need a program that is easy to install and does not require compiling or complex manual installation with multiple command line text commands (unless I can cut and paste). I'm still confused by the complex Linux directory structure I have no idea where or what my home directory is or how to get to it from a terminal window / command line prompt.
I am looking for remote desktop software that will allow me to not only view this particular desktop from miles away but send files back and fourth between the two computers. any ideas?
I want to have a live-output of e.g. /var/log/syslog but with a filter (grep) so that all new messages are shown live as they are written into the logfile.Normally I use sth. like: cat /var/log/syslog | grep cron | tailBut this will only show the last new messages. I'd like the last messages continously showing up.
What program is good to install to partition my PC after installation (I installed without a partition). Also, any quick tips in partitioning? Lastly, I have an old Ubuntu installed together w/XP on another PC. I want to install Xubuntu to replace the old Ubuntu, using the same partition. Is that possible?
Anyone know any good word programs with a good grammar checker? i tried language tool with OOo but it is still buggy lags to find grammar, and unless the sentence is quite simple, it misses alot. tried lightproof too, it has yet to find any error, even in hyphenation which is what it is specifically meant to do. This would be nice to have so I can ween myself entirely off windows.
What is a good IP filter/firewall program? Seeing as how I like free softwares, I download a lot of torrents. When I was using Windows, I used PeerBlock (the newer fork of PeerGuardian), however, it's not available for Linux. What would be a good alternative for this in Linux? I tried iplist as it has a GUI, and it was extremely buggy and blocked random web pages even after I put them on the exceptions list. And MoBlock has no GUI from I understand, nor has it been updated in years.
