Ubuntu :: The Program "Force Quit" Is Frozen

Mar 11, 2011

I have added to my Panel the "Force Quit" program to click and use so I don't have to type it in on the rare occasions that I need it. I accidentally clicked it today not needing it. Not knowing this would be an issue, I clicked on it thinking it would force itself to quit and just close itself. I know I should have just hit esc to close it.

The problem I have now is that it is now frozen on my screen and for the life of me I cant figure out how to get rid of it. Yes I tried esc. I tried opening System Monitor and looking for it to end the prog and couldn't find it. I know I could fix this by just restarting the x server, but at the moment I happen to have several things open that I either cannot save right now or are actively running.

Code:

As you can see in the 3082 line, the path says /usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.exe... I didn't knew I was backporting Wine to run banshee.

General :: Change Shortcut Keys In Thunderbird 3?

Apr 20, 2010

I use Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux and have just upgraded to Ubuntu 10 / Thunderbird 3. One of my gripes however is that Thunderbird uses a number of shortcut keys that have no secondary key requirements, for example, "Mark as Read" is M. Not ControlM. Just M. Worse, "Mark as Junk" is J. Which means I sometimes inadvertently mark messages as Junk.

How can I customize Thunderbird's shortcuts so, for example, "Mark as Junk" is ControlJ?

Software :: Change Bash Shortcut Keys Such As Ctrl-C?

Jul 5, 2010

I*am using Kubuntu 10.04. I would like to change some of the standard shortcut keys for bash (terminal).

I want:

Ctrl-C to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Ctrl-V to paste from the clipboard into the terminal.
Ctrl-Z to undo.
Ctrl-Shift-C (or even better, Super-C) to terminate the command.
Ctrl-Shift-Z (or Super-Z) to be the background command.
I*don't even know what Ctrl-V did before, some I*won't worry about remapping it.

EDIT:*I*have no idea what is putting the * char after each "I". Maybe this is a non-breaking space?

Fedora :: Removed Pulseaudio - Now Desktop Shortcut Keys Don't Work

Jul 31, 2009

I removed pulseaudio save for the libs, and now I can't lock down my desktop with ctrl+alt+l anymore. I can still lock the system with the menu (System > Lock Screen), but it's kind of annoying. Removing pulseaudio has cleared up all of my mplayer stutter issues, but I would like to be able to use the keyboard shortcut keys. Here's the command I used to strip out pulseaudio:

rpm -e --nodeps alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-3.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 gnome-bluetooth-2.27.5-1.fc11.i586 bluez-4.37-2.fc11.i586

Software :: XFCE Terminal Cannot Bind Shortcut Keys / How To Disable All Shortcuts?

Jun 5, 2011

Is there any way to disable shortcut keys in XFCE Terminal ? I can't seem to bind the shortcut keys, and F1 especially really gets in the way for some programs. Have no clue who thought it would be a good idea to bind F1 to a stupid help screen, when many terminal programs need this. I am using fluxbox, so maybe this has something to do with it.

Ubuntu :: Create A Shortcut To Run A Program On Terminal?

Jul 7, 2010

I want to create a shortcut to run a program called RoomEqWizard but the only way I know how to run the program is to open a terminal and type the location to where the program is and call the program file. I already tried creating a shortcut on the main menu but I get a "error creating the child process for this terminal" message every time...

Ubuntu :: Can't Remove A Shortcut Made By A Program

Jul 25, 2010

I recently installed Acetone ISO in the hopes of installing a program, but alas it doesn't do what I need it to (run the MDF file like a disk rather than showing all the files in it, and because this is a multi-disk thing I'm installing I'm kinda stuck now) and I noticed it would make a new virtual drive every time I mounted an image, and I wound up with four of them, and each one had its own shortcut on my desktop. Well, I removed the program and deleted the folder it created, but these shortcuts are still on my desktop. And they are UNTOUCHABLE!

The command line ls -al ~/Desktop/ will show everything on the desktop BUT THEM, they have no permissions, and cannot be moved, copied, or deleted, because Ubuntu can't find volume information on them. I reinstalled the program to see if anything would help, and I noticed that the drives would go away if I unmounted the image (I coulda sworn I told it to before, but it didn't want to...) but now these drives are errors to the program, and I still can't remove the shortcuts.

SUSE :: Make A Shortcut For Any Given Program?

Jun 24, 2010

After installing a few packages without a package manager (yast), I was wonding if there is anyway to make a shortcut (or application link or whatever its call) for any given program you install to show up automatically on all users desktops and start menus(for lack of a linux term). For example I installed firefox to a folder in the /opt directory and found that i could drag and drop the shell command to the desktop to make a shortcut, or i could create a new application link on my desktop and point it at firefox. But what If i wanted that to show up for all users somewhere by default? Is there anything like the "all users" desktion winXP or the "public user" in win7?

Software :: Force Program To Run Totally From RAM/swap

Feb 4, 2011

At the moment im using a live linux distribution and running a program to test the security of my website. Unfortunatly this program is running from, and seems to fill up rootfs, at which point the program crashes and dissapears.

Is there any way to force a program to run totally from RAM, which i would presume would automatically use a swap file because of the in built memory management in linux, of which is a 30GB partiton.

I know i could just install the distribution to the partition instead, however it has peaqued my interest in just how much control linux has over the programs running on it.

So the question is - Is it possible to run a program totally from RAM, forcing all inputs/outputs to be re-directed to/from RAM to keep the rootfs clear whilst the application does what it needs to?

Debian :: Force A Program To Use A Specific Version Of GTK When Compiling

Jul 15, 2010

I decided I was going to compile XChat from source today for "fun." What I ended up doing was spending a few hours getting it to compile, then find out everything didn't work the way I thought it did. I was under the impression that after I ran "sudo make install" I was "upgrading", when in reality I'm just installing a seperate version alongside the old one. Apparently I have to keep the old version so every program that was compiled with it will continue to work, so how do I:

1) Force a program to use a specific version of GTK when compiling.
2) Find where my version of GTK installed to.

I've asked some people and I've just been told to "learn LD_PRELOAD". I've googled and can't figure how I could even apply that to my current problem
