When I press TAB key in command window, the tab character (spacing) is inserted instead of iterating trough items in current directory. How can I make it work this other way (autocompletion)?
Anybody know of a program that can detect if you're viewing a video, and if you are, prevent the current power plan from turning off the monitor and/or putting the computer to sleep?
(For Windows 7, or one for Vista might also work.)
Thanks.
Is there a way to get XMMS2 to call an outside script when it advances in a playlist - either automatically or via manual intervention (e.g. xmms2 next)?
The goal is to have balloons pop up on my desktop to tell me what new song has started playing, and I really, really don't want to write a background daemon that polls 'xmms2 info' or 'xmms2 current' if there's a way to get it to issue the callback.
Thanks in advance!
In KDE's Konsole, I can do the following from the terminal:
dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop
And it will tell me which desktop my terminal is connected to
( per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/738059/in-kde-how-can-i-automatically-tell-which-desktop-a-konsole-terminal-is-in/745250#745250 )
How can I determine what desktop number the current gnome terminal in a gnome session is connected to?
I'm interested in the current usage of cpu - precisely cpu% and wait% - for each thread in a specific application. Is it possible to get that information from somewhere?
I know that top can split information per real thread (ones with pid), but it doesn't show the system/user/wait cpu usage split for each of them. I would also like some way to log that info. Do you know any apps (or apis) that can do that?
I installed ruby 1.9 on my fedora 13 machine from source. I want to go back and use the older 1.8.6 (which I'll install with yum), unfortunetly it appears that I can't simply uninstall my current version by "make uninstall" (make: *** No rule to make targetuninstall'. Stop.`).
Is there any way of doing this other than removing each individual file?
I use Google Chrome and I have 100s of bookmarks, history, search preferences, search engines, extensions, and apps installed.
I want to have a new Google account, and I need to move everything from my current account to the new one.
I did sign in to another Chrome and transferred my bookmarks using the Export/Import option. How can I transfer all the Google Chrome data, saved usernames and passwords, and everything else to the new account?
I am running the top command to see details about specific processes. The output is piped to grep like so:
top -n 1 | grep jre
The output is usually around 4 lines, and I would like to prefix the current time to each line so it would be something like:
Before:
2772 deleteme 20 0 2832 1156 872 R 2.0 0.1 0:00.01 top
After:
13:46 25-08-2012 2772 deleteme 20 0 2832 1156 872 R 2.0 0.1 0:00.01 top
Hi,
I need to set up a linux network: central authentication server and laptops (maybe desktops). Laptops must cache credentials. What is the current best way to do that? Can kerberos be coerced into doing that? Should I install Samba WAD equivalent and use likewise?
I'm trying to figure out the differences(pros/cons) between two routing protocols approach and I would be great-full for any help, advice and explanation. As far I can say that it seems like distance vector is more static and more local based routing, since it doesn't know the network state whereas link state is more aware of current states therefore it seems more natural to use it over distance-vector, but I have a feeling like I'm missing something. And I would be glad to here about more aspects and different issues I have to consider while choosing one of them.
Hello,
I'd like to automatically update a Excel cell with the current date and time when another cell is changed (like a update timestamp).
Do you have any pointer on how to do that ?
Thanks,

PHP, WHM, and several other services are already installed on a CentOS x64 server I am trying to migrate data to. Many of my existing PHP scripts are dependent on PHP's apache_request_headers() function, which the current server's PHP configuration does not support. Apparently, compiling PHP as an Apache module is one solution, but are there other ways to enable this (without uninstalling PHP, reinstalling, etc., and all dependent services), perhaps as easy as modifying php.ini, somehow?
When I read something I need to underscore what I like, or what I think is important, and to take notices about that read, near on that current paragraph.
So, does anyone know a Firefox add-on or something else (another browser, any other application) which can provide me such a functionality?
ps: I've tried some research tools as Zotero, but it is not what I'm looking for.
I opened a VNC server and my VNC session is suddenly dead. I have lot of xterms open.
When I ssh to the machine. and type
users
I see a bunch of users – my user accounts, like:
userA UserA UserA UserA UserA UserA UserA
I know I can use
pkill -u usersname
Since I can only log in as userA, every time I run pkill-u UserA, it will just kill my current session. but other userAs are still there
What can I do?
I'm running AutoHotkey 1.0.48.05 on Windows 7.
I have this script:
::sw::
InputBox, providedString, SVN Switch, Switch the current directory to where?
if NOT ErrorLevel
{
Send svn switch %providedString%{Enter}
}
Return
So I if type sw{Enter} in PowerShell (or anywhere), I'll be prompted by a text box. Currently that text box is blank.
How can I prepopulate it with a particular string?
I want to change the font used by both cmd.exe and PowerShell. When I right click in the window border, I see both Defaults and Properties:
What's the difference? One would think Defaults was for all sessions, and Properties was for the current session. However, changes to Properties are persisted even after relaunching cmd.exe.
Another problem is that changing the font in either Defaults or Properties doesn't actually change the font. This is on Windows 8.
I have permission to attached a mailbox to my profile. This is a mailbox I share and manage with other people.
When we send from this address, we would like to have the message show up in this mailbox's sent items folder. The current behavior is that the message goes to our primary account's sent items.
I'm using Outlook 2007 but others are using Outlook 2003. This is in an Exchange 2007 environment.
Hi,
I'd like to decrypt some EFS-encrypted files, but I do not know how to do that without altering the timestamp. When encrypting/decrypting files, the modified-time is set to the current time. I'd like to preserve the original timestamp, as the files have not really changed.
Is this possible? Solutions i dont think work
copy to/from FAT (timestamp resolution differs)
copy to from Samba share (same)
programmatically copy original timestamp and reapply after decryption (possible, but need to handle decryption time which may vary)
I just heard about policyd-weight so I did an apt-cache search policyd which returns three options:
policyd-weight
postfix-policyd
postfwd
Which one is the best, and do you have any tips on setting them up?
Our current setup is whitelister plus postgrey to greylist RBLd hosts, then fail2ban them for 10 minutes if they have 10 failures, followed by content filtering (Kaspersky Anti-Spam). The content filtering is pretty good, but there's still a lot of spam that gets through the RBL greylisting.
I've had the desire to move to Linux for desktop computing for some time, as the OS just suits me, I think, better than Windows. I've not yet moved from Windows for a few reasons:
It's used in my workplace.
I have an extensive application base that does whatever I need (and they're all on a portable hdd)
I am familiar developing software on Windows.
So, what about Linux keeps you from moving to it, or what does your current desktop OS offer that Linux does not?
My current development machine is Windows XP, and I use a modified tcpip.sys to allow me to exceed the 10 connection limit built in to IIS. I know that Vista's IIS has the same limit.
Can anyone confirm whether this connection limit is present in Windows 7 IIS as well?
I'm mounting a windows share as follows:
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.178.49/public -o users,username=name,dom=domain,password=pword /mnt/nas
Then I'm trying to create a simple file with some basic text:
touch /mnt/nas/me.txt
And get an error, however, the file is created (contains 0B of data though):
touch: cannot touch ‘me.txt’: Permission denied
With sudo it works flawless. How can I allow my current user to write data to the share? Is there a mount option?
We are running an old version of OpenSSL 0.9.7e and would like to upgrade to the most current. Our server is running Debian, and I am wondering if there would be any issues with just upgrading it using apt-get?
Would we have to worry about anything breaking, or updating any configurations?
How do I prevent Opera from switching over to the tab I opened when I click on 'Open in new tab'? This feature of Opera is driving me nuts! Is there a setting or something that I can change so that the focus remains on the current tab?
We are looking to replace our current aging firewall/router with a new one.
We would prefer it to be free/opensource if possible.
Our minimum requirements would be:
1) Site-to-site VPN
2) Web URL/IP filtering
3) 2 WAN connections with load-balancing
4) Easy-to-use web inferface
Any suggestions? and why you chose yours.
