Ubuntu :: Unable To Use Vim With 10.10 - E492: Not An Editor Command
Jun 8, 2011
Few days back i installed ubuntu 10.10 on my system. Previously i worked on ubuntu 10.04 and used vim too, everything was fine. Now I formatted and upgraded to 10.10, when I use vim I find some of the commands missing for example :AS command used to open corresponding .c and .h files. On 10.04 it worked fine, but in 10.10 its giving error "E492: Not an editor command: AS". How to fix the issue? any missing packages i need to install?
I have a 500G HD with several partitions. I have just added another exact 500G HD and would like to copy the partition table from the first HD to the new HD.What is a good command line partition editor to get the job done? All of my partitions are ext4. I have looked at parted but the man pages says it does not support ext3, so I guess it will not work with ext4 either.What I am ultimately going to do is to set these two HD in a RAID0 configuration without having to re-install Karmic.
Is there a way to use the grep command in conjunction with an editor such as nano or vi so that I can remove the commented out lines from a conf file and then proceed to edit it ? I can use grep -v "^#^" squid.conf (example ) which gives me a nicely tidy conf file but I can't edit it.Can this command be used with nano or ?
I have installed Vmware on Windows Xp. On Vmware i have installed RHEL 5 update 3. Now when i use vi editor and try to split it into multiple windows using :sp or :vsp command then it does not work. Whereas i have the same RHEL 5 update 3 in one of the application server, and there :sp works fine. I tried searching online with no success. finding out why its not working on vmware and how can we make it work.

I want to prefix the number of ✔ to corresponding row If I use the command :.s/✔//gn I get output written like '2 matches on 1 line' How can I extract the '2 matches' in above case ?
I want to change the default command line editor from vim to nano, so for example when I type "visudo", I want it to user nano. In Ubuntu this can be easily done by using "update-alternatives --config editor", but openUSE doesn't have an editor-option
I am trying to upgrade PHP on our linux box ( CentOS ) I copied the configure command from the phpinfo and now I want to execute that.I am not able to copy the command from an editor in linux to the command prompt, clicking the wheel om my mouse does not work, neither does shift-insert or ctrl-shift-insert.It does work in the editor itself.Is there a way to do this ?Or is there a way to execute the command in linux while it is in the file ? Like a bat file on Windows ?

I'm unable to find a decent hex editor for GNU/Linux -- let alone a really good one. I don't really care if it is GUI or console based, but it has to work properly, the curses-based ones that I've tried somehow manage to corrupt its own display by merely scrolling through the file being edited.
So, my question is, what is a good hex editor for GNU/Linux? If possible I'd gladly like to know both the name of a console based one and another GUI-based one.
On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.
I have installed ubuntu 9.10 64-bit and MATLAB 7.3 _x86-64.When I run matlab launching script I get this error message and the program freezes:
/usr/local/matlab7.3/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: Symbol `__kmp_test_then_add_real32' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation /usr/local/matlab7.3/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: Symbol `__kmp_test_then_add_real64' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation.
I tried to run "matlab -nojvm" and I get the same error as above but the program starts and seems to work smoothly. The problem is that I cannot run the editor and debug scripts and functions

I type in vlc in the command prompt and get the following back:
Quote:
The program 'vlc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install vlc-nox You will have to enable the component called 'universe' vlc: command not found
I type in "sudo apt-get install vlc-nox" and get the following:
Quote:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package vlc-nox
Maybe I'm getting the "Couldn't find package vlc-nox" because I've not enabled the 'universe' component. How do I do that via the command line? VLC's website discusses an alternative way to install VLC:
Installed OS, it told me I should install nVidia drivers. I told it to go ahead, it told me to restart - I did. I restart into a command prompt... No GUI. Turn off PC, on again, still - same thing. Asks me to login, but no GUI.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS on my computer and realized I wanted to give 11.04 a try. So, using the Update Manager both times, I applied all updates then upgraded to 10.10 then to 11.04.
Here's where the problem starts. Grub loads fine. I choose Ubuntu. I briefly get a purple splash screen then a black screen with some text that looks like Ubuntu is trying to load (I've attached a picture of this screen). This screen flashes a couple times then stays up and nothing happens afterwards. I can input text and commands but I get no response. Not even an "invalid command". The only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and my computer will reboot.
I have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows 7 on a 50Gb partition (plenty right?), AMD 64-bit dual core processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. This is on an HP Pavilion dv3 laptop.
I have to work in terminal but I don't know the command of copying files from one folder to another. e.g from /share/ParaDiS.v2.3.5.1 to /home/newfolder what should I type?
Last night my system rebooted and dropped screen resolution to 800*600. I was unable to change that from no where. I tried to install nvidia driver and now no gui, only command line. Starting xorg by using 'startx' fails. How I can get back to normal with normal resolution?At the moment I am logged in via live cd. Let me know if any log files needed (if I can locate those).
I am have trouble getting the ls command to work exactly how I want, for example, sometimes I want to list the contents of a directory into a text file by command:
Code: ls directory > list.txt
(assume the only objects the directory contains are files with extension .dat eg file1.dat, file2.dat, ...)sometimes I want the relative path of the files prepended to them in my text file eg:
path/file1.dat path/file2.dat path/file3.dat
[Code].....
It feels like ls is unpredictable in this regard - sometimes it prepends the path and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it adds both entries (with and without the path prepended into the text file)....How can better control the way ls works?
I am able to start up firefox just fine out of my terminal, but i have not been able to find any list of arguments that can be added in the command line. what i'm looking for is that it starts up in Full Screen mode right off. is there an argument that can be added to ti to do that?
I have reinstalled Suse 10.1 as dual-boot with Windows XP. I am now unable to get a program to run from the Linux command line. I am familiar with the program and have had it running previously when the machine was Linux-only. Everything else, e.g.Firefox and Office, work fine in Suse.
[Code]...
The problem occurs with all commands - not just this one. isis3Startup.sh is in green on the screen so I assume I should be able to run it - I have never had any problem when it was installed previously.
