The Webupd8 team has ported the Mint Menu to Ubuntu. From http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/install-linux-mint-main-menu-mintmenu.html :



Despite what the page says, the team has updated the ppa...

You could use
pkill <program-name> to kill the program by name instead of PID.

So, to modify the above program:


#!/bin/bash

while : # while(true) infinite loop
do

Does the perl script have options for running a certain length of time? If it does, you could just create a simple bash script like this:



#!/bin/bash

while : # while(true) infinite loop...

What I want to do is type the following vim colon command

:latexquotes
and have vim run the following two commands

:%s/"\</``/g
:%s/"/''/g

How do I define this command?

It would be easier to help you if you specified which program you want to use and which program you want to open.

No. I've read the developer discussions regarding this and the consensus was that there would be no way to account for multiple languages. You can select multiple files within rythmbox using...

The problem with this solution is that clicking on links within emails will open up the gmail page instead. %u stands for the link you want to open, not just the link to open when you click on the...

That's odd. I'm not sure what's going on with that. You could try deleting the gmail cookies in firefox and then logging in one more time through firefox before trying again through checkgmail. If...

Could you post the commands you use to start checkgmail on startup?

Which problem isn't fixed?

No, but you can create one. Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts and click on Add, then fill in the boxes. For Name, I use "Take a screenshot with options" and for Command, use
...

I think it would be easier to take a screenshot of the spreadsheet you want to turn into a jpeg. If all the cells you want to print are visible on screen, you can just push the PrintScreen button on...

What happens if you run gimp from the command line (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)?

Is the entire bottom part of the window gone, including the part that contains the name of the active layer, the mouse position coordinates, and the unit selector? If it is, choose "Show Statusbar"...

There might be a better/easier way. What exactly are you trying to convert into a jpeg?

If you want to use the profile feature, you have to use the -profile= option every time. So, change the command in the startup dialog to

checkgmail -no-login -profile=home
Then create new...

You type these commands into the terminal. If you use Alt+F2, you need to type each version of checkgmail on their own lines (no semicolons). Or, if you want checkgmail to start when the computer...

@Rubicon421

Your problem with going directly to your gmail page is solved by starting checkgmail with the -no-login option. You may have to login to the gmail web page one more time after that. ...

You can also install the imagemagick package which contains a lot of tools for working with images on the command line. In your case, the 'convert' command would suit your purposes. If all of your...

These options allow you to specify an alternate name for artists and albums for the purpose of ordering them alphabetically in the browser and song list.

For example, I have an mp3 with the song...

Thanks, jpkotta. That makes sense. Too bad, using $((--a)) twice would have been sneakier than $((a-1)) and $((a-2)). Ah, well.

@falconindy: It's like the c++ operators. $((--foo)) decrements...

So, occasionally, I like to write programs in inefficient ways just to watch the computer thrash around (especially if the code becomes rather obfuscated in the process (I don't know what's wrong...

I was just having the exact same problem after upgrading to Karmic (freezing, houndstooth pattern). I followed the directions from your post here and everything worked.

Essentially,

Wouldn't a better way be to make a bash script that accepts arguments? This way you wouldn't have to edit the script every time you wanted to spell check a different file.

Something like this:

Essentially, kpkeerthi is showing you the beginnings of a BASH script, which you can think of as a list of commands to be executed. Once you learn a few commands you can input into a terminal,...
