MEM's questions

I've been told to run this:

./yiic message ./app/messages/config.php

But I don't understand the ./ meaning, can anyone clarify please.

Note: Believe me, we can't google that. I've tried:

./ meaning ./ ubuntu

It was the same as nothing. :(

I would like to access phpmyadmin. I have access it before but, now, I'm just getting a blank page and I really don't get why.

I've installed phpmyadmin using

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

I've run

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

And there added:

#Include phpmyadmin: 
 include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

But I was getting a warning when I restart apache, telling me:

The Alias directive in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf at line 3 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.

How can I solve this, so that I can see phpmyadmin interface again, when I do http://localhost/phpmyadmin instead of seeing a blank webpage?

Dump -

• I've tried apt-get remove phpmyadmin and then apt-get install phpmyadmin - still the same blank page. :(

• /etc/phpmyadmin - I've chmod o+w permissions to phpmyadmin folder and it's contents. - still the blank page...

I've been told that I should create a images folder and an assets folder, and that I needed to make sure that: "they are apache writable". I've also been told to make the app/runtime directory web-writable. Is this the same as apache writable? If so:

How can I do that at once, or know that ?

Doing a ls -l I'm getting something like:

drwxr-xr-x 13 user user 4096 2011-08-26 10:23 app
drwxr-xr-x 4 user user 4096 2011-08-26 10:23 runtime
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 2011-08-26 11:11 images
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 2011-08-26 11:12 assets

This is NOT a request for killing applications.

I can well kill all process, no matter what. That's not the issue.

The issue is:

When we "close" Skype or Banshee, or Korganizer or many many others, it is common that, after we do that, **we have an icon on the panel (near the clock).

However, that has not been the case here.

Once I do that, I have no icon on the panel, near the clock, as a result, I can't easily re-display the application window as normally should happen.

How can make those icons appear on the panel ?

I would love to, while in a given folder, right-click on it and choose play, to play all music files in that folder (and subfolders if any).

Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Ubuntu 11.04 here.

I have Compiz Fusion Icon. When I choose compiz, to benefit from the effects, my windows title bar disappear.

How can I make it appear, and preserve the effects ?

Note:

If I go to Compiz Fusion Icon > Select Windows Manager > Metacity
I got the tittle bar but not the effects.

If I go to Compiz Fusion Icon > Select Windows Manager > Compiz
I got the effects but not the title bar.

Thanks

How can we remove the launcher that come with Unity on this new Ubuntu version ?

I only have access to the command line.
I need to backup my data (on the user folder) to a pen (USB DOK).

• How can I mount a flash drive manually?
• What should be the copy command?

I've updated my system, the system boots but I never get to the graphic interface. It seems to hang.

I get a black screen, at the end of the screen, I got my cursor _ blinking and I don't know what to do.

I believe the system is OK somehow, because I notice the screen saver activation after a while but nothing more. If I press any key, the screen savers vanishes but I just don't know how to leave from this state.

I've tried Ctrl + C, entering exit but I just get the letters there, nothing happens.

At the end, my /var/log/Xorg.0.log has:

DRI Initialization failed kernel module (fglrx.ko) may be missing or incompatible 2D and 3D acceleration disabked

glesx __g1ESXExtensionInit: No GL ES2.0 Capable screen found!

Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server Aborting Please consult the X.org Foundadion Support (EE) fglrx(0): fireg1_SetSuspendeResumeState FAILED -9

ddxSigGiveUp: closing log

UPDATE:

I've done:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx

after which I've rebooted. Now I got nothing on my screen. Not even the command line.

What can I do? How can I fix this problem?

Let's say we do:

tail -f  /var/log/apache2/error.log

Then we see what we want to see, and then, we want to quit, so that we can navigate to other directories and so on... So, the question is:

How can we quit tail ?

I've tried to type: 'q', and 'exit', and 'quit', and 'kill', no luck.

In recall for nostalgic feelings, I've remembered the .bat files on DOS. :)

Here's the thing: Each time I need to generate a documentation for a given web application I have to:

sudo phpdoc -o HTML:frames:earthli -d public_html/yoursite.dev/application/ -t public_html/yoursite.dev/docs/

is there a way to make a shortcut to the above, so that, we can type only:

sudo generateDoc.sh -a yoursite.dev

or even better:

sudo generateDoc.sh -theVariableThatNeedsTobeChangedOnBashHere

So that, if we have yoursite.dev passed on the command line, the bash will have yoursite.dev, if we write yoursite2.dev then, the bash would have yoursite2.dev and so on...

Any clue?

Thanks a lot.

I've issued the following command:

sudo cp ~/Transfers/ZendFramework-1.11.4-minimal/library/Zend/* ~/public_html/cmsk.dev/library/

When I do this, I start getting the following messages:

cp: omitting directory `Tag' 
cp: omitting directory `Test' 
cp: omitting directory `Text' 
cp: omitting directory `TimeSync' 
cp: omitting directory `Tool' 
cp: omitting directory `Translate' 
cp: omitting directory `Uri' 
cp: omitting directory `Validate' 

and so on...

Why do I get these messages ?

Can anyone please provide the necessary steps to connect a Samsung Galaxy S with Ubuntu 10.10 please? I was thinking that perhaps it could detect something, but it doesn't, Anyone succeeded ?

Thanks

I have an HP pen-drive that has 16GB space. If I add a file to it, and then I delete that file, the free space of that deleted file doesn't get applied. The only way I've found to see that space as available again is by deleting the partition and doing it all over again!

Why is this? Any clue?

I've used KDE Partition Manager to create the NTFS partition.

In order to pass the contents of one file to another we can, for example:

cat ~/temp_minhakey.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Let's say, we need to append more content to authorized_keys, but we don't want to overwrite it.

Should we use cat again for the next keys ? Or should we flag with something specific ?

Thanks in advance.

I've been told to go to ~/.ssh and, actually, I did cd ~/.ssh and I got into it.

However, I'm wondering: what does the ~ mean in this context?

id_rsa is, normally a default identity. However, I've created a new key and I would like to add that key as a default identify instead.

How can we do that?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Ubuntu 10.10 here. On the command line, I'm trying to do:

gem install railsless-deploy

I get this message:

The program 'gem' can be found in the following packages: * rubygems1.8 * rubygems1.9.1 Try: sudo apt-get install

So I did: sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1

I then try the command again: gem install railsless-deploy

But the same quoted message appears again. Why? Any help to figure this out?

Thanks a lot.

While trying to install openJDK to start installing netbeans 6.9 - I'm getting this:

The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.

I read it... and I have no clue what to do next. :( how can we repair that?

I have forget openSDK and I'm trying the java one. All seems to go well... but know I'm stuck here:

And here is the amazing question: How can I click or hit, or push or something, that OK?

Arrows, Page Up and Page Down work. Enter and Click don't.

Anyone?
