I'm right now busy with moving the first steps into Linux, i'm using a bash shell within a mac osx
I see in all tutorials that in order to launch an application from the bash its necessary to cd to its directory and simply type the name of the app.
This is exatly what i'm doing and it does not work (i have on my desktop a 'Eclipse' folder with the launcher icon in it):
cd Desktop
cd Eclipse
Eclipse.app
Why will this not work?
I read everywhere that typing the name of the app its enough
Hello,
I'm using Linux in a large multi-user network. Let A be some group which I'm am member of, but which is not my primary group. According to chmod(2) I should be able to chgrp a file to group A. Trying to do so succeeds on a local as well as on a NFSv3 mount, but not on a NFSv4/Kerberos mount (EPERM). Are there any special considerations regarding chgrp when using NFSv4 mounts?

How to burn these files on a DVD to play with the same quality on standalone DVD player?
My player supports SACD, DVD Audio and DVD video as well. My OS is Ubuntu Lucid (preferred), but I have also WinXp with Nero installed.
BTW, is there any difference between DVD+ and DVD- for audio?
I did the following:
created an empty .img file with dd
associated it to /dev/loop0 with losetup
created a partition in it with fdisk
formatted such partition with mke2fs
copied a custom GNU/Linux system into that partition
Now I'd like to make the .img file bootable by installing grub into its MBR and /boot directory. My goal is to load the .img file with qemu. It would be better if grub2 is used instead of grub legacy.
Thanks.
I've recently repurposed an old machine that I had laying around (custom built several years ago with miscellaneous parts) as a simple media center with an Ubuntu 8.10 operating system and Boxee as its front end, and I absolutely love it. I'm particularly intrigued by the custom applications that are possible, and I wanted to start a running list of recommended apps for it.
So, my question is this: what Boxee apps do you recommend, and why? One app per answer, please.
I'm using a java process to spawn many other java processes using Runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd is like the following:
java -cp "MyJar.jar" pkg.MyClass some-more-arguments
running the same command from the command line works fine in windows and linux, however when my spawning java process calls the command via Runtime.exec it works in windows but not in linux.
in linux i get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pkg/MyClass
any ideas?
Hi,
I am shocked that I still don't understand "Execute" permission in linux. There are three permission - read, write, and execute. I understand that read and write literally, but what does execute do exactly? Let's say I have example.php with execute permission. What can I do with example.php???
Whe right clicking in windows that have popup menus you can hold mouse button, wait until popup appears and release above the desired item to click it. This is different from Windows that have popup appear only on mouse release. And it leads to accident menu item clicking sometimes. Looks like the issue is there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/320259, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575071.
Is there's any way to change popup appearance time at least?
Can I confine my users to their /home/%u directory using simply open-ssh configuration? I did the following from what I found on the Internet
Stopped the server
To the sshd_config file appended the following
Match group sftpusers
ChrootDirectory /home/%u
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
started the server
FYI I have the users added to sftpusers group
My users can still access entire file structure on my system
Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS with open-ssh installed
So to install a theme for Docky on Ubuntu I had to extract the theme from the Archive Manager via root to /usr/local/share/docky/themes. I did this but it didn't show up in the theme choices. Then I tried just pressing the install button and locating it but I couldn't see the tar file. I then extracted the tar file to the desktop and tried selecting that to install but nothing. What am I doing wrong!?
when I ssh to a certain linux host, although my default shell is tcsh, the .cshrc file under my home directory is not sourced at all. I can't understand why this happen, cus from my understanding, if I'm using the tcsh, the .cshrc should be anyway souced!
must some magic there, please tell me if you know it. thanks in advance.
After I installed Ubuntu 10.4, I tried out Gwibber and liked it very much.
Next time I logged in, I had the same messages that were there when I logged off, and nothing I did (e.g. unsubscribing/re-subsribing) helped.
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Is there a way to run a VM in Fusion that starts when the machine does, but I can then access via Remote Desktop (Windows) or ssh (Linux) rather than by opening the Fusion app, starting the VM, and then connecting however I'd prefer (rdp/ssh)?
