[Solved] How to add launchers to Desktop of gnome 3 ?

Hi,
I have gnome 3 installed. I have enabled adding files in desktop. Now my desktop shows home icon and trash. Now i want to add some existing application launcher to desktop. For example i have chromium browser installed and i have added it to favorites. I want to add launcher to desktop as a icon, so that i can click on chrome icon in desktop and use chromium browser. I searched on the google a lot but no luck

It is now solved. I installed extensions from here . These extensions make available gnome 2 features in gnome 3 by using native gnome 3 code and not by making to fall back to gnome 2. But these extensions doesn't have one feature i am looking for , which is launchers. For that only i found was to install gnome-panel. Which is a gnome2 thing. Unfortunately i couldn't find any gnome 3 things that would do this. So i installed gnome-panel which contains gnome-desktop-item-edit file. Then i ran the following to create a launcher :
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
But the problem is that the site says it might break with gnome 3 updates.

Reason enough IMO. But anyway... you refer to the Traditional build method in the wiki, but is it possible you didn't really read it? Or maybe you only skimmed it? Did you run make menuconfig? Did you try to build everything in instead of using modules? That mkinitcpio output suggests that you did.
As suggested there for first-timers, it's a good idea to start with a kernel configuration that is known to work - the Arch config is the obvious choice, but there are other sources e.g. http://kernel-seeds.org/ .

[SOLVED]How to add multiple gateways in Arch

Hi, can someone please advise how to add multiple gateway address for multiple interfaces.
In my case I have two wired LAN cards. I use Arch network daemon to manage my NIC's.
I know in Gentoo it could be done through : 'gateway_ethX=( "default gw xx.xx.xx.xx dev ethX" )'
but doing so in arch wont connect to router/gateway.
Also in rc.conf it says :
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
How to declare each route, and then how to list it in ROUTES?
I read the following thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52992, but after adding the suggested lines in rc.conf and restarting the network it fails and says hostname not found.
Thanks.

In that case, your routing table should look something like this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
rc.conf:
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
# You may need to add 'dev eth1' to the end of this after '.1.1'
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

[SOLVED]How to add OAL driver level functionality in the AM335x BSP source code???

Dear developers,
Greetings!!!
As, my platform is WinCE 7 with AM335x BSP and I would like to copy one driver and update the driver as per my requirements. The location from where I have taken the existing driver is -
BSP\SRC\CSP\COMMON_TI_AMXX\OAL --
Existing diver is OALRTC and new driver is abc_I2C under the same location and I have tailored the driver according to my requirements.
One funciton is OALIoCtlHalInitRTC and the call is made from BSP\SRC\OAL\oallib\ioctl.c and the calling funciton is BSPIoCtlHalInitRegistry
In my case, I am calling my OAL API as OALIoCtlHalInitPHY..
But the thing is that I am getting linking error during the time of compiling and is shown below -

[Solved] Application launchers on desktop in Gnome 3.2?

So, I'm testing out gnome 3.2 again and I'm trying to create launchers on my desktop, but there doesn't appear to be an option for it in Gnome 3.2 when I right click my desktop. I have Nautilus drawing the desktop so did Gnome completely do away with this feature, and if so is there a way to manually create launchers (i'm assuming there is) using Gedit?

Fixed. Found the answer on the Fedora forums:

Exec=launchcommand
Icon=pathtoicon
Categories=***********
Save as .desktop file and done. Linux is cool

[Solved] How To Add Blank Space In Prompt With zsh

Last edited by shoober420 (2014-07-31 16:53:51)

You should be able to just add a space in your prompt. Can you post the prompt you have now?
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
The prompt goes between the ' ' - the last two characters are $ and a space. Try doing something similar.

[SOLVED] How to add files to iso file for Live USB ?

I created a Live USB by dd command of the dual iso. Now I want to write a shell script to collect commands I need during installation process. Since dd command writes from sector to sector on the USB drive, it is not editable. How can I add my shell script to be available when booting by the arch Live USB ?

Sorry for inappropriate posting. This is an advanced customization, but I need a simple manual approach to add my shell script to the iso archive. Moreover, using archiso needs an arch host, but I hoped to be able to create the Live USB from within other linux distributions, as I do with dd command.

cdda usually means an AudioCD, never tried that.
It is an audio cd, I'm playing around with EAC (I know, I know, there are good native replacements).
If I open the 'drives' tab in winecfg and try 'autodetect' it doesn't list my drive. If I try to add it manually I have to navigate to it but cdda doesn't exist anywhere for me to navigate to.

Hi Steve,


I found solution, I mean this:


ExternalContext ectx = ctx.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ectx.getResponse();
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"test.xfdf\"");
response.setContentType("vnd.adobe.xfdf");
 PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
 pw.println("ANY DATA HERE");
 pw.close();
out.flush();
out.close();

It is the next screen Pick the command, click OK. It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination. It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers. When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.

[SOLVED] How to add Word-Wrapping to a QPushButton

I'm working on a Qt project and I have a QPushButton on which I'd like to allow word wrapping:
I know I can change it to a QLabel, but due to the specific purpose of the application, it needs to be clickable (so I think that means it must be a QPushButton). I've searched around online a bit and the only solution I've been able to find is "inheriting." However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-08-22 19:20:38)

I don't think that is possible, as it is against QPushButton's intended design.
However, you could easily derive a class from QLabel and overload the
virtual void QWidget::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * event )
function or install an event filer (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/eventsandfilters.html)
on a "plain" QLabel to do the exactly same.
