Is there a way to customize/manage the tab lenght in sticky notes in gnome-linux. Presently the size of tab is 8 spaces, can i change it to say 2,4 or so?
Hello everybody,
I'm not that familiar with Linux but I'm currently working on a aws image for an assignment and I need to display the DB2 version, the OS and the hardware.
Is there a commando or program of some sort I can use for this purpose?
I tried a rpm called "Bonnie" but that only writes the throughput for the system.
Thanks

Can you provide a link to an up-to-date tutorial for setting up Linux with 3 monitors? Specifically, I want to set up 2 different nvidia video cards with 3 monitors. I can already do 2 monitors on 1 video card, so I am not interested in those tutorials.
Hello!
Does anyone has experience with this device under Linux?
On which level of abstraction is the Wacom Bamboo tablet supported?
Is the device input just translated to mouse input, so that every application
can profit from it?
Or do I need special (design|paint|...)-software which explicitely supports this device?
I'm in a process of renewing/expanding my disk sets, but not quite sure what kind of disks to get, cache-wise.
What difference does disk cache amount of 16/32/64MB do, in capacities of, say, 1/1.5/2TB SATA disks? The disks will be used in a webapp server and in a media workstation, with Linux's softraid in raid-1/raid-5 configurations. Note, that as both purposes are purely for a hobby, the pricetag for a dozen of disks is a big issue.
Okay, kind of a weird question but let's say I'm running a long-running batch script in a terminal window and I close that terminal window.
Is it possible, in any way, to ssh back into that server and run a command that pops you back into that process, so you can see it running again?
This is on linux (Redhat).
Thanks
The LiNUX RHEL5 Workstation Z400 stop answering to ping and it was no more possible to connect to it, even on the local console; The workstation was not reachable in anay way.
The only method I found is to restart the station (switch off, switch on) and after that everything works fine
Have somebody an idea on what can have happened
I don't see explanation of this in the /var/log/messages
Some more informations:

I'm not asking how to find out where a bottleneck is. I just what to know how to check if the harddrive is being used at its limit (and hence causing a bottleneck).
Something like top where I can see a usage percentage of CPU and RAM.
Is there something like that with which I can monitor harddrive activity?
Native linux tools preferred.
I try to install a small audio player named "Audacious" with the following command:
sudo apt-get install audacious
and it tells me that it depends audacious-plugins,
so I try to install the audacious-plugins,
one thing leads to another, there're numerous depends and it is just impossible to install all of them manually...
Is it even possible to install a software on ubuntu linux?
Is there a way to auto install all the depends?
(I have never seen such a stupid software manager.)
Many thanks.
I want to automatically run a script whenever new files are copied into a particular directory. In other words, is there a way in Linux to "watch" a directory for changes and then run something in response to the change?
I am looking for Windows based backup software with functionality like Zmanda or other multi-platform network backup software program. Open source or free software is always preferred.
We need to be able to backup files from linux and windows servers as well as MySQL databases. Using samba is completely possible. Software needs to run on Windows Server 2003.
I'm emerging udev and it complains it couldn't find the kernel sources under /usr/src/linux (there's nothing inside /usr/src/ indeed). As a result, it tries to take the version from the currently running kernel and messes up thinking it's an older version than what it needs (when it actually isn't).
So where are the sources so that I can properly link to them? And could I have done something wrong for them not to be in the right place?
I'm using Debian Linux and I want to convert a CSV file to an Excel XLS Spreadsheet file. The catdoc package includes the xls2csv command that converts from XLS to CSV. However it doesn't do the reverse.
Since I just have a CSV file, I don't care about formatting or anything like that. I'm not worried if it only generates a very simple XLS file, and doesn't support the fancy new versions. Just so long as it's an XLS spreadsheet.
Since Dream Linux has built in support for Ruby, I'm assuming it will work well as a Rails development environment, but I'm wondering if Ruby Version Manager will interfere with the system version of Ruby.
Generally, when I use RVM, I disable/ignore the system version. How will the Dream Linux OS system scripts that are written in Ruby react to the presence of RVM? If I can't use RVM on Dream Linux, how easy is it to upgrade to newer versions of Ruby, without frazzling the system?
I'va remote linux debian server that 99.9% of the time I access via ssh remotely. However I was aware that the local terminal is sitting there with a logon prompt. Is there anything I could change this to, or log in and run locally and safely leave running? Physical access to the server is limited to me but a secure situation would be preferable.
Thanks..

EXT4 is not a solid state file system. It won't take full advantage of the hardware and it will ware out the drive. So what is the best Solid State File System for Linux? I am looking forward to ButterFS (btrfs), but its not suitable for production systems. I'm also interested to know why you like a particular ssdfs.
How can I limit the login times in linux for certain users? For example I have to a user that only needs to be enabled from 8am till 5pm? Is there a way of automating this. My environment is a Centos server administered via webmin.
Any there any linux tools that will extract the text from a Powerpoint pptx file? I tried catppt but it just returns file.pptx is not OLE file or Error. abiword --to=txt file.pptx also returns an empty text file.
I can open the file in libreoffice but it doesn't seem to have an "export as text" option. As a guess I also tried libreoffice --headless --convert-to txt:Text file.pptx but that doesn't even return an empty file.
Where does Google Chrome for Linux store user specific data such as bookmarks ?
I can't find a .chrome or .google directory under my home directory, any other directory I should look at ?
I remember someone here at SU gave a link to a site where you could share your Linux custom configuration files (like bashrc, vimrc and others), but I don't remember what was that site. I already searched it on here and on Google, but I had no luck so far...
Can you help me find out?
We have a Linux server acting as a router/firewall for our office. Occasionally someone will upload a large file that takes up all our bandwidth. I don't want to implement any complex rules or traffic shaping, but I'm wondering if there is a way to slow down a single connection on the spot? I found tcpnice, but it doesn't slow down the transfers in my testing.
