This way your application would have working directory of what you set and
it would find images subdir in it.

To ease maintenance I use to place such start scripts in the same directory as the application. Then the script can query for APP_HOME by itself and the location is not hardcoded. E.g.

APP_HOME=$(dirname $0)
cd $APP_HOME

Enjoy,

I would not complicate matters.
Just go 'System - Preferences - Main menu' and then add the item to your

Newbie + Can I create username/passwd in my native language Hindi ?

Hi all,

I would like to create login/passwd combinations in my native language
Hindi. I have tried with both Ubuntu 9.04 and fedora 11 but its not
possible.
In Ubuntu 9.04 username has to be in English but Real Name can be
given in Hindi.

For typing in Hindi I require IME enabling. For admin login, I can
work in English, but for other users Hindi is preferable.

Please help,

Where are gnome menu configuration files ??

2009-11-24T12:05:50Z

Hi;

I am about to replace Fedora 11 with Fedora 12.

I have re-configured my gnome panel menu (Applications Places System) so
that various applications' launchers appear under sub-menus different
from the default. The last couple of times that I have done a Fedora
new version install I have lost my menu reconfiguration. And yes, I am
fully backed up. But I can never seem to find all of the files necessary
to show my own menu re-configuration. Instead I always get the new
default menu installed and have to once again manually reconfigure.

What files should I be sure to backup and/or what files do I have to
restore to get MY menu configuration back?

Just a URL for a site/page that explains would be helpful.

Re: Lost metacity and gnome panel

Not necessarily. Just a while ago I hade a weird keymap problem on a
Lenny box which looked as if it was due to user configurations:
newly created users behaved differently than some older user
accounts, which, in turn, behaved differently than the default account
created during Lenny installation. In the end, however, the culprit
turned out to be a missing line in xorg.conf!

Anyway, here's how I would proceed (but your situation may be different
of course):

I'd create myself a new account, keeping the old non-working account as
backup only. Then, instead of copying over the config files, I'd just
manually reconfigure my new account to my liking. I know, it can be
tedious, but ... Then, at my leisure, I'd copy over a config file from
the old account to the new one and test it thoroughly (wait for a week
or so, log in and out, preferably even reboot a couple of times). After
thorough testing, I'd copy over another config file. And so on.
Hopefully, you only have a couple of config files complex enough to be
worth copying over; as for the rest, you may be better off recreating
them from scratch.

P.S. Your ~/.config subtree is also worth checking out (besides .gconf,
.gconfd,.gnome, .gnome2 and so on)

Mark,

Thanks for the links to the e-mails. You have given me a great many
clues to follow up on, which I will do tomorrow or the next day.

Aside: I am also a member of PLUG -- except my PLUG is the Portland
Linux Unix Group, aka the Portland Linux Users Group. We are an
amorphous assemblage of people, but there are ~600 people subscribed to
our e-list, including people from all over the world. Our perennially

It is fun to run into another PLUGger. :)

Lost metacity and gnome panel

I have installed a number of themes in /usr/share/themes, but many are not

Help with gconf (and sudo)

2009-11-19T01:26:43Z

Hi All

I'm in the process of writing a GTK/GNOME app for copying USB flash
drives. The basic flow is:

* the contents of a master USB key are copied to a temporary folder
on the hard drive
* and then every time a blank key is inserted, the data is copied
from the temp folder to the key

The program handles copying to multiple blank keys in parallel, the user
gets visual feedback of progress and (eventually) audible feedback when
all current copying activity is complete - so they can rip out the keys,
put in more blanks and repeat.

My program uses DBus to get device events from HAL and automatically
starts work when it sees a device it likes.

The copy process initialises the device with mkfs, mounts it, copies the
files, unmounts it (to ensure buffers are flushed), remounts it, does
file checksums to make sure it all worked and finally unmounts it.

The basics are working pretty well but I'm currently hung up on one
nice-to-have feature. GNOME/Nautilus wants to automatically mount every
USB drive as it is plugged in. That obviously is not desirable in my
case so I turned it off with this command:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount
false

When I'm not running my copy program I *do* like the automount feature,
so I can manually re enable it by setting that gconf key back to true.

What I would like ("Finally!" I hear you say) is to have my program turn
automount off when it starts and restore it when it exits. The wrinkle
is that because my program uses mkfs, mount, umount etc it needs to run
as root - so I invoke it using sudo. The fact that it's running as root
means that the gconf update seems to affect the root user's settings and
not the settings for the user who 'owns' the desktop.

I tried to workaround this by having my program run:

su -c 'gconf ...' $SUDO_USER

which doesn't fail but seems to affect a gconf database in a different
session (if that makes sense). I can set and query that key and it all
looks good from within my program but it has no effect on the automount
behaviour and it doesn't affect the gconf database as seen from a
non-sudo'd terminal window.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Thanks
Grant

Running (user) program after network mgr does its magic?

2009-11-18T09:57:00Z

Is there some way to run a program as a user after network manager has
brought up the network?

I am aware it's possible to run (system) scripts/programs by putting
them in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/. However, I'm looking for a
way to run dropbox, and it should be run in the desktop (so it can
"attach" to the panel).

Unfortunately dropbox, if it's started before the network is up,
doesn't react on when the network becomes available.

Any ideas?

setup a webdav server for tomboy

2009-11-18T07:10:26Z

Hello guys,

I want to setup a webdav server for synchronizing tomboy. What do I
need? Only a webdav setup in apache? I read that I also need wdfs (??).
What's wdfs? How to install it? Do I need something else?
Is there a howto somewhere that explain what to do? I didn't found any.

Thank you for your help,
nm

Evolution Contacts Advanced Search parsing

2009-11-16T08:10:22Z

Hello

Evolution Contacts Advanced Search has the ability to use an
'expression' but I cannot find a definition to use this function.

I am hoping that this will give me a way to either count out or select a
certain number of "Contact" records.

Verizon, as an e-mail service restricts each e-mail to no more than 99
contacts per an e-mail and no more than 500 maximum during one hour.
The penalty for breaking these rules is 24 hour loss of e-mail
privileges.

I am having a bit of difficulty finding a way to parse a contact list to
meet this criteria.

As some of us do actually have to do mailings to quite a few people,
this is a bit of a pain

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Paul
