[SOLVED] Konsole, shells and zombies, oh my!

Hello fellow archers!
Decided to try the new KDE yesterday and after some tinkering, I've managed to put it just how I like it. One thing troubles me though: whenever I open Konsole, do something in the shell and then Ctrl+D or type exit, the actual konsole tab is not closed and the shell is left as a zombie process (see next 2 screens). Tried with zsh, bash, new konsole profile, clean kde4 config (removed ~/.kde4) and nothing changes.

Maybe this is expected behaviour in Konsole, forcing you to use Ctrl+Shit+W to close the tab but that feels very awkward coming from urxvt.
Any feedback?

[SOLVED] Opening Shell and runnning command(s)

Hi,
I have just discovered the wonderful program xbindkeys, and am thus setting all my keybindings. I ran into a problem when I came to adding the music keybinding [EDIT]. I don't use a gui, just command line mplayer, so this is a bit problematic, as I want to be able to launch a shell and then run a command inside that shell (in this case cd /home/jhl/music/mplaylist && mplayer *). So when I try :
konsole -e cd /home/jhl/music/myplaylist && mplayer *
It does not do what I expected . I've looked around here and on google for an answer, but have yet to find one.
All help is greatly appreciated .

Crouse's method worked (thanks crouse )
And the [EDIT] was because I repeated 'adding the music keybindings' twice, and didn't catch it when reviewing the thread, opps .

[Solved] Gnome-Shell and separating programs in the program switcher

Hi,
I would like to treat different instances of Emacs as different programs in Super-Tab program switcher in Gnome-Shell (I run mail and music in different instances).
In the overview they show as different programs via .desktop files. But with Super-Tab they always collapse into one program (always with the normal Emacs icon).
Any tips on how to tell gnome that different instances of some program is are to be considered different applications?
Here's an example of a desktop file that I use to start a "specialized" Emacs instance.

[SOLVED] Gnome-Shell: Alt+F2 and PATH

Hallo everybody,
I have added $HOME/bin to my PATH with
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
in my .bashrc.
This works fine with the terminal, but Gnome-Shell's Alt+F2 doesn't find the scripts in ~/bin.
How can I add ~/bin to the PATH of Alt+F2?
Thank you.

How to configure a shell and tube heat exchanger with Lab VIew to get data

HiI
In our undergraduate chemical engineering labboratory we want to configure our shell and tube heat exchanger with a DAq and Lab VIEW to get information about the temperaure (of the cold fluid stream being heated), the pressure (of the steam on the shell side of the heat exchanger) and the flowrate (of the water being heated).
Can anyone suggest thermocouples, pressure transducers and flowmeters to fit between the heat exchanger and the DAq?
P.S. the heat exchanger is already fitted with thermometers, a pressure gauge and a rotameter but we don't know how to connect these hardware to the DAq
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like you have enough information to pick out appropriate sensors, you just need to do the research. I would start looking through the Omega catalog, or give them a call - they're usually helpful. I can't take the time to spec out parts for you - that would be a lot of time spent on someone else's project. Most pressure sensors put out either a 4-20mA or 0-5V signal, either of which you can read through an analog input on a DAQ; measuring a 4-20mA signal requires a resistor to convert to voltage. Most of the NI DAQ boards can read a thermocouple on an analog input, but make sure that your hardware does support reading thermocouples. For accurate readings, use a device that has built-in cold junction compensation - for example, the SCB-68 connector block - and for the most accurate readings, get a board specifically designed for temperature measurement.
For the flow measurement, a standard, simple solution is an orifice plate. You put a differential pressure transducer across it, look up the appropriate equations, and use them to calculate the flow rate given the density of the fluid (which you'll be able to calculate from the pressure and temperature, since steam tables are widely available). There are other differential pressure devices available as well - at a previous job we used a V-Cone from McCrometer. If you call them they'll spec one for you - but get an approximate cost first to make sure it's within your budget.

[SOLVED] Konsole truncating text

I just went back to try KDE and am finding that Konsole seems to have picked up some annoying behaviour since I last used it. It basically truncates pretty much everything it can get its hands on, making it very hard to actually read output:
I've looked everywhere in settings and google doesn't seem to know about this - what is causing this behaviour and how do I turn it off?

I use konsole in openbox everyday and I'v never seen such truncating of text as you report.

Gnome-shell and keyboard shortcuts

So, I'm relatively new to gnome-shell, and I've noticed this :
If I run my session, I can use any of my keybindings, for example to make screenshots, open guake terminal ( I've really missed transparency ), etc.
If I launch any of my apps, the keybindings still work.
If I quit all the running apps, the keybindings stop to work.
I must either RUN A NEW APP or GO TO THE TOP-LEFT HOTSPOT THING in order to have my keybindings back.
If I close the apps again, or in the second case I leave the top-left corner with the mouse cursor, keybindings die again.
The only case when it works is at the beginning of the session, when nothing is opened yet.
Quitting the session and reopening again solves the problem.
I know, gnome-shell is new. But I really miss gnome2.xx.

Transparency: OK

I think, the shortcut problem is caused by the guake terminal, see this post:

Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
addin for Excel 2010.
Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
running on the same PC or any other environment.
After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
(where it was installed)
into :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
(where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
then the problem goes away.
This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
Thanks,
Andy

How to invoke BASH shell and execute a command in that shell in Windows 98

Hello, I have a problem and if somebody will help me, I will be very glad. Thank you.
I am using BASH shell on Windows 98 OS by means of CYGWIN. And I want to invoke this BASH shell and execute a preprogrammed command in the shell (./scan fileName.txt) from a JAVA program. But so far, I am not sucessful. I can not read or write anything from / to BASH shell. It either blocks and freezes (When I use waitFor( ) ) or appears and disappears without executing scan command (When I do not use waitFor( ) ). My code is like this:
// This method is used for compiling a file.
// It invokes BASH shell and executes "./scan fileName.txt" command
public void compileFileMethod () {
try {
Process proc = ( Runtime.getRuntime() ).exec ("C:\\MyDocuments\\CYGWIN.BAT); //I also tried to add -c ./scan fileName.txt after .BAT );
// I also tried to write "C:\\MyDocuments\\BASH.EXE" but it did not help
OutputStream ostr = proc.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter ( new OutputStreamWriter (ostr) );
InputStream istr = proc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (istr) );
InputStream errorStr = proc.getErrorStream();
BufferedReader errorBr = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (errorStr) );
bw.write("scan case40.10.txt"); /* I am trying to input the scan command to the shell,but it is not working*/
bw.flush();
Vector list = new Vector (1) ;
String str;
while ( (str = br.readLine() ) != null) {
list.addElement(str);
} // End of while
Enumeration enumForList = list.elements();
while ( enumForList.hasMoreElements() ) {
String tempString;
tempString = ( String ) enumForList.nextElement();
System.out.println(tempString); // I am trying to read the outputs of the scan command but it is not reading (I can not see any output)
I tried with and without waitFor( ), it did not work
// wait for command to terminate
proc.waitFor();
// close streams
br.close();
bw.close();
errorBr.close();
} // End of try
catch ( IOException ioe ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Input / output error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} // End of catch
catch ( SecurityException se ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Security error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
catch ( InterruptedException ie ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Interruption error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} // End of method compileFileMethod
// Thank you for your helps and time.

You cannot invoke BAT files directly, you have to invoke the program that run those files which is your Windows 98 shell. For example (under windows 2000), i would invoke "cmd.exe sricpt.bat some args", rather than "script.bar some args".
Hope this will help you out.

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.

Screen refresh problem in kde4 with konsole, nvidia and compiz

Hi,
I have for the last month or so been experiencing really slow screen refreshes in konsole. What happens is that the text often doesn't get refreshed and you end up with the cursor not on the correct line, blocks all over the konsole window and blank areas of text. Minimising and maximising the konsole windows seems to refresh them as does using compiz's scale plugin. As I spend pretty much all day using konsole this has been really annoying. I have today however found a fix in this bug report:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … mments=all
This was to go into ccsm, enable workaronds under utility and make sure "Force syncronization between X and GLX" is ticked.
Thought I'd share is this has really been doing my head in, so hope this helps someone else!
