FWIW, as stated in my first post, the PC is being setup to run a CNC milling machine, using LinuxCNC (Ubuntu 8.04 version) as the OS. As such, it will be a stand-alone unit with no permanent internet...
Just for a moment there, I thought you may be onto something, however apmd was already installed. :sad:
Still no joy. It's an old PC and LinuxCNC is only built on LTS releases. As said previously, 10.04 won't boot so 8.04 is my only option. Following a bios upgrade, 10.04 will boot but takes about 15...
After a few days of trying to fix a problem, I've had to give in and ask for help...
I have an old desktop PC, circa 2003, which I am setting up to run a CNC machine. The OS is LinuxCNC which is...
So the PIDs are basically a 16-bit integer array which returns to the lowest available number when it hits the upper limit? Makes sense now as it will be working sequentially rather than attempting...
It was tongue in cheek, yes.
I just wonder why the PIDs don't follow conventional logic and re-use the lowest "free" id. That is assuming that the PID becomes available when a process is closed?...
I have a VPS server on which I run a number of Python scripts and have a minor annoyance with how the processes are numbered. For instance, a script which has been running since boot might be PID...
This thread should of been a poll.
I haven't read the other 868 pages.
I first used Linux about 5 years ago when a friend's Windows pc had blue screened and I couldn't boot into safe mode or...
Spot on. I've had to provide my app as a standalone using py2exe. I usually have to explain "double-click setup.exe with your left mouse button" as well. This is what happens when people who know...
The end users are not very computer literate so I need to keep things as simple as possible. So far my app has been written in pure python and has no dependencies. I'd like to keep it that way.
I have a project which connects to a server via an official API, however they provide no means of time synchronisation and rely on the user having an NTP sync'd pc clock. I don't want to force the...
I bought a Toshiba NB-100 a few years ago. Came pre-installed with Ubuntu NBR and never had any problems. Have recently upgraded it to Mint 11 and had no issues.
OK, Google suggests py2exe might be what I want, however it seems that I'll need to boot Windows to run it. Is there any way to create a Windows compatible installation from Ubuntu? Or maybe a...
I'm programming a none-GUI Python script on my Ubuntu box for a none-savvy Windows user. Assuming they don't already have Python installed and will not be familiar with terminal/command prompts, how...
I have a Python script that does some process management. All is working fine except for when it launches Firefox. We can normally launch a process as none-blocking and then terminate() it when we...
Sounds like a nice job for a Python script and pyCurl. ;)
Ok, i assume that you are referring to the internal router address that starts with 192.168... That is not the address i am concerned about. I sent myself an email via different accounts and in the...
Ahhh, yes...i assumed you were referring to a Home Desktop PC rather than a server because you referred to "control of the desktop". I've never worked on a server setup, but i assumed it was ALWAYS...
I don't have an answer for you but i'm just wondering WHY you want to get rid of the GUI? What is the benefit?
Code::Blocks is an excellent IDE, is similar to Visual Studio and can also import VS projects. I program in Python most of the time but use Code::Blocks when i need to use C or C++.
I just discovered View > "All message headers" in the Evolution email client and am quite concerned that all my out going emails contain my personal IP Address. I know that this is standard email...
After playing around with Postfix, i decided to look for an easier solution. This led me to solving the problem by routing all outgoing mail through Gmail. Initially, the "From:" header was incorrect...
I'm sure this must be a common problem, yet Google hasn't really helped me. On my desktop PC, i normally setup my SMTP mail server to use the one provided by my ISP.
I also have a Netbook running...
+1 for code::blocks IDE, especially if you're looking for something similar to VS.
I'm working on a simple Python script that will rearrange some window positions on my Ubuntu Gnome desktop. I have a function that shells the xwininfo command to get the geometry of a given window,...
