I'm looking for a way to move a terminal window running the following command. The terminal-window should be sent to workspace 2 after 30 seconds.
The following code didn't work:
sleep 30 && xdotool getactivewindow set_desktop_for_window 2
This command will move ANY window that currently has the focus. It is the terminal window running the command which I want to move, though.
Please note that I'm using GNOME-Terminal.
Thank you.
When trying to change the IP Adress in the Blueman Bluetooth Manager I get an error (see screenshot). It's probably something simple like a missing package I can't identify.
Use Case: changing the IP-Address is necessary to connect to a lego Mindstorms EV3 Brick via a desktop computer. The process is described on https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/connecting-to-the-internet-via-bluetooth/
System Details: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS / Blueman Bluetooth Manager V-2.0.5

I'm not getting any sound output. Tried running the sampler Samplv1 (a polyphonic sampler) as a plugin in Ardour 5.
The sampler is installed and connected through a midi track. Also, a sample is loaded which was checked to playback without any problems.
Still, there is no sound when triggering the note (image step 1). I get a signal in the meter (step 2) and also, midi in led lights up in the sampler.
Just to test the audio I've also inserted amsynth (see step 3). When this is triggered through a midi signal, it plays an audio signal.
Still, I get no audible sound coming from the sampler. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot further?
I'm looking for an app to organize my daily tasks in different countdown timers similar to the one found at www.timeanddate.com/timer/
Features I'm looking for would be:
Please note that timetracking is not an important feature, just the countdown is enough.
Thank you.
Trying to install DrumGizmo (Midi Drum Plugin) as an LV2 Plugin for Ardour.
Update: Ok, DrumGizmo seems to be a part of the Ubuntu Packages.
Running a package search on packages.ubuntu.com returns:
Now, I have "Trusty" installed on top of Ubuntu Studio. Can I add the DrumGizmo package anyway?
On a previous install attempt I've been following this description: http://www.drumgizmo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:compiling_installing_-_linux
Now, when I launch Ardour and try to add the plugin I get an error message
Any suggestions for info I need to supply to solve this problem are welcome. Thanks!

The German decimal mark standard is a comma (e.g. 1.400,50 one-thousand-fourhundred-euro-and-fifty-cent).
Most apps use the US standard period. Is there a way to quickly switch the comma to a period on the numeric keypad (and back)?
I need a solution specifically for the Gedit Editor:
When editing long documents I want to avoid having to scroll down with the mouse when hitting the end of the page.
Is there a solution to avoid the mouse? Vim offers the neat scrolloff feature but I haven't found anything for Gedit (see here).
Any suggestions?
Update: linuxaudio states that the M-Audio Fast Track Pro can only work at 16 bit due to USB 1.1. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/hw/m-audio_fast_track_pro
What does that mean to get it up and running? Compiling a custom kernel or just some audio settings?
Update: I've found some very different results regarding Fasttrack Pro in forums with older releases. Some state that the hardware is just incompatible e. g. here https://superuser.com/questions/308367/how-do-i-configure-my-m-audio-fast-track-pro-in-ubuntu and others state the got it to work without explaining how. On Debian, it works after patching the kernel e. g. here http://joegiampaoli.blogspot.de/2011/06/m-audio-fast-track-pro-for-debian-linux.html
I've contacted Avid Support (which now holds the brand M-Audio) but doubt they can help.
Trying to record my guitar through an M-Audio Fastrack Pro into Ardour. Qjackctl is running but I can't get an input signal. How can I fix this?
BTW: Guitar is plugged in, turned up and cable is working. I'm experiencing the same problem with a mic so that's not the cause.
Let me know if more details are needed.

Just installed Ubuntu Touch aka Ubuntu Phone on my old Nexus and I really like the design! Now, I wanted to test installing apps from the Ubuntu Store et voila, it asks me for an Ubuntu-One-Account (which doesn't exist anymore).
How can I install this App with Ubuntu-One being out of service?
I have a complex command in my terminal window which I would like to edit further e. g.
echo "This is a complex command I want to edit in an editor"
How can I pipe this line of code - not the output but the actual code - to e.g. Gedit for further editing? Something along the lines of this solution, just for a GUI based editor: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1446/rapidly-invoke-an-editor-to-write-a-long-complex-or-tricky-command
Please note that I'm specifically looking for a way to edit in an external editor.
How can I close multiple instances of Gedit windows through the command line?
Some of the windows may contain changes to documents. So, I would like to be prompted to save them or not.
If I use pkill gedit it will simply kill all instances without prompting to save changes.
Background info: Often, I have tons of windows open over multiple workspaces. Some of them are Gedit windows with notes. Thus, when running shutdown -h now shutdown will block because some windows contain changes to files or unsaved notes. Saving all instances with changes would prevent me from inspecting and closing all windows one by one.
I'm trying to automate critical moves in my favorite Boulderdash clone called "Epiphany" (available through Ubuntu Software Centre).
In the following example the character should move: 3x "Down Arrow" and 1x "Right Arrow".
Writing a script is pretty straightforward. Once launched it (1) sets focus to the game window and (2) sends the keystroke commands through Xdotool.
#!/bin/bash
# set focus to epiphany
xdotool search --onlyvisible --class epiphany windowactivate
sleep 0.5
# move down one unit
xdotool keydown --delay 100 Down Arrow; xdotool keyup --delay 12 Down Arrow
# move down one unit
xdotool keydown --delay 100 Down Arrow; xdotool keyup --delay 12 Down Arrow
# move down one unit
xdotool keydown --delay 100 Down Arrow; xdotool keyup --delay 12 Down Arrow
# move right one unit
xdotool keydown --delay 100 Right Arrow; xdotool keyup --delay 12 Right Arrow
But, this solution doesn't work consistently.
Sometimes the character only completes part of the move - e. g. only 2x "Down Arrow". At other times he moves too slow and is crushed by the diamond.
Are there any suggestions on how to solve this - preferrably using Xdotool?
Edit:
The straightforward commands like xdotool key Down Arrow - as suggested - don't work. The character in the game doesn't move at all.
This puzzles me: I'm trying to connect through Remmina Remote Desktop Client to a X11vnc is a remote desktop server.
Both computers are running Linux, are online through a standard home DSL connection and have no fancy firewalls running.
Settings in Remmina:
When I connect the server laptop to the same dsl box as the client it connects without a problem. If I try to connect over the internet - after adjusting the I.P. number I get "Unable to Connect to VNC Server".
How can I connect?
Details:
VNC client - Remmina on Ubuntu 12.10.
VNC server - x11vnc on Puppy Linux Wary
(see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27424 with x11vnc_server-0.9.4B.pet)
Working on a script to automate some tasks in Firefox.
These tasks should run through a clean Firefox profile, so they are fast and don't interfere with any of my regular surfing.
#!/bin/bash
# Launch clean firefox profile with parameters:
# -no-remote don't connect to any running instance of firefox
# -P run firefox through a profile
firefox -P 'Another Profile' &
sleep 4 # wait for firefox to load
# Open URLs
firefox -new-tab 'http://askubuntu.com/users'
firefox -new-tab 'http://askubuntu.com/badges'
Unfortunately, I can't get the URLs to open in the profile "Another Profile". Instead, Ubuntu launches Firefox with my default user profile and opens them, there.
Any suggestions on how to open them in "Another Profile"?
I have a bunch of directories:
20130118-Cars_Directory
20130118-Bikes_Directory
20130218-Planes_Directory
20130228-Scooters_Directory
Is there any way to change directories in the manner of typing a partial match in the middle of the command.
Ideally, something in the style of cd *Bikes*<TAB>, and have dash autocomplete the rest?
Oh, my girlfriend really likes it when I launch php scripts! There's something special about them, she says ...
Thus, I coded this script to run throught the CLI (Command Line Interface) - so it's running locally, not on a web server.
It launches just fine through right click > open > run in terminal but closes right after execution. **Is there a way to keep the terminal window open?
Of course I can launch it through a terminal window - which would stay open - but I'm looking for a one click action. With bash scripts I use $SHELL but that didn't work (see code below).
So far, the only thing I came up with is sleep(10); which gives me 10 seconds for my girl to check the output. I'd rather close the terminal window manually, though.
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "Hello World \n";
# wait before closing terminal window
sleep(10);
# the following line doesn't work
$SHELL;
?>

Wow, my system crashes hard - right after login! I've heard about quite some crashed with Ubuntu 12.04. ... any suggestions on how to proceed?
Here is the link to the logfile of Boot-Repair - which I tried without success (details see below):
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1630291/
Also, running memtest86 from the boot-up program resulted in 0 errors found. Neither, did a check on the harddrives yield an error message.
Further Details
Ubuntu will boot fine up to the login screen. Then - after I enter the password and hit login - it will hang. I am not able to enter anything at the resulting screen (see image - larger view here).
The first time this occurred was right after I cleaned my computer carefully with aerosol. Maybe a hardware damage? But I don't think so, it was minimal maintenance mostly focusing on the cooling-fans. Also, I removed an old harddisk (no boot partition, just mp3 data).
Regarding Boot-Repair ... ran it through UbuntuSecureRemix (a Ubuntu boot mix CD) a and used the standard option "Recommendend repair - repairs most frequent problems".
My gf likes the Beatles so I placed a couple of tracks on my harddisk ...
Beatles - Here Comes The Sun.mp3
Beatles - If I Fell.mp3
Beatles - Tell me why.mp3
Beatles - Things we said today.mp3
... now from terminal - I can easily enqueue a track to my media player totem
totem --enqueue "Beatles - Here Comes The Sun.mp3"
But sometimes my gf likes to give me smoochies, thus, keeping me busy from spending all day enqueueing tracks one by one.
Is there a way to enque multiple tracks with a single command?
... it doesn't have to be simple ... but she thinks single command lines are so hot, resulting in more smoochies :) Also, please presume that the files could be scattered in subdirectories.
I've tried the following but it didn't work ...
totem --enqueue "$(find -iname "*beatles*")"
From the terminal, I like launching my standard working applications ... gedit with my todo-list, firefox and chromium.
To save time, I (1) chain this command into one line, (2) silence all error messages from stderr and stdout with 2&>1 >/dev/null and (3) background the processes with & to regain a clean terminal:
gedit ~/Desktop/todo.txt 2&>1 > /dev/null & firefox 2&>1 > /dev/null & chromium-browser 2&>1 > /dev/null &
It seems to work fine except for one small detail. Gedit opens the todo file as well as a new textfile with the name 2. Are the pipes misplaced?
