i'm pretty new to ubuntu. I was "playing" trying to change my default shell and failed. Now, after logging in, i open a terminal window and type "su". Ubuntu asks me a password, i give my password and i get this error "unable to execture /bin/bsd-csh: file or directory does not exist". Any idea on how to solve this problem restoring my old shell.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to make gnome shell my default window manager. I have it installed, and can get it to run from the terminal with gnome-shell --replace.
the effects aren't permanent though. I tried setting gnome-shell to be a start up application but this hasn't worked. I dont want to remove compiz or metacity before knowing if I can get gnome-shell to run by default somehow.
So, how can I get gnome-shell to be my default windows manager?
Is there a way to make it so that opening an executable text file will automatically run, rather than prompt me to run, edit, or something else?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to keep root pw==sudo pw==user pw on a box with Code: $ lsb_release -ds Ubuntu 9.10 $ uname -rv 2.6.31-22-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 02:02:56 UTC 2010 Just now it hung going to sleep, so I shutdown via BRS. On cold boot, HD mount failed and I got the prompt to hit Esc to goto maintenance shell. I did that, got the prompt for the root password, and entered my sudo.
That failed! though it has worked before ... but I changed my user password on that box recently, and I'm pretty sure I haven't needed to fsck between then and now. I'm wondering: What do I need to do to set my root pw? I was able to C-d out of the shell, and karmic took care of itself, but I'd prefer not to rely on that. Is there a way to make my root pw always equal my user pw? If so, is that a Very Bad Idea?

The default image viewer in 10.10 (eog) has met its match, a ~500MB image of the moon. I just thought it was kind of funny, while browsing the software center for an image viewer that could handle it, I noticed the description of the one installed by default and thought it was kind of funny, so I snapped this screenshot and thought I'd share it with you guys. By the way I have 4 GB of RAM and can view the image just fine in GIMP, just thought this was kind of funny.

i tried updating ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04. It didn't work out, i got just a black screen trying to load new ubuntu. Nevermind, after multiple tries to recover it i simply installed ubuntu 11.04 over it. It works fine now, but i already got some problems Mainly, i can't find a way to pick the appropriate resolution. I have a 19" monitor with 1280x1024 resolution, video card is nvidia 8500gt. Any GUI tool (nvidia driver settings or 'monitors' tool) doesn't allow me to pick what i want. xorg.cong is nearly empty, that's all what i have there

I've had my prompt change whenever I :sh (:shell) out of VIM, but can't for the life of me remember how?. The idea is to change the prompt to something like [SH] <your usual prompt here>, so that I know that VIM is running in the background.. I often logout of the shell, because I think VIM is open.
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to enable the Gnome Shell with an AMD 6950 graphics card and the default Fedora 15 drivers? I may try the AMD Catalyst proprietary drivers but from history those usually lag behind the Fedora versions. I also read some people had issues with the current AMD Catalyst drivers in the Catalyst guide thread.
Also, the AMD 6950 graphics card fan is at full speed all the time in Fedora 15. I do believe you can with the Catalyst drivers using aticonfig but was wondering about the default Fedora 15 drivers?
I have upgraded my machine to Karmic, and thereby getting gcc/g++ 4.4 in the process. I have some code that requires gcc/g++ 4.3.
I can change the compiler system wide by redirecting the symbolic link from 4.4 to 4.3
Code:
sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gcc
but i would like to have it done per session instead.

One of the greatest things about Linux, ( I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) is your ability to install more than one version of java. Ubuntu, and by default, comes loaded with OpenJdk, which is an open source version of Java. As I stated in a previous discussion, I had some issues to run glassfish with the OpenJdk, so I decided to install the "closed" version of Java directly from Sun microsystem's website ( Hosted by oracle nowadays).
After downloading the latest Java development kit(JDK) which also includes the Java Runtime Envirnonment (JRE), I installed it from the terminal. The java file I downloaded was a ".bin" file. I have explained in the previous discussion, how to install a .bin file.
The installer will extract all the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder in the same directory as of the ".bin" file. Assuming that you have extracted the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder on your Desktop called JAVA6, then the path to this folder would be:
/Desktop/JAVA6
after that go to your terminal window and do the following: sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java" 1
Then issue the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --set Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java
This should set your newly installed java as your default JVM and JRE.
I'm running 9.10. I was installing ALSA so that I could run my EMU 1616, and when I tried to go through the steps to install, I'm running into two errors that I've noticed so far. I think. Anyway, the first is that is states that the panelw library isn't there, and that alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device or address. The alsamixer one is really odd, since it's there, but I don't know why it won't run.
I initially had it running, and now it isn't. I've yet to get sound out of my EMU. the terminal window also tells me that it can't find the snd_emu file, even though it exists on the computer as well. I need an answer for a dummy.
