Okay, but there should be a solution to this problem.
Yes, download the source code, rewrite it for your DE and re-compile it.

I can and do use a whole bunch of different file-browsers; the trick is to avoid, or circumvent, anything involving freedesktop.org as much as possible.

I have downloaded and extracted the files and cd to the correct directory, but am unable to configure. Although you've apparently gotten cairo dock installed, it's a good idea to say exactly which file(s) you've downloaded, and from where, like: https://github.com/Cairo-Dock/cairo-dock-core/archive...

I can do that one by one with the CLI, but is there a way to use the CLI and only CHMOD +x the executable ones? Like win and *.exe; *.com.

Code: Select all

chmod +x *.exe
chmod +x *.com

However, is there a way to see what applications I have installed, say, the last three months?

Try

Code: Select all

synaptic -> File -> History

or look at

Code: Select all

/var/log/apt/history.log

The keywords are Remove, Purge, Install

--Right...I keep forgetting every forum site has to have someone out of at least 50 that always want to bust someone else's chops because of jealousy of a simple..tried and true method of doing something to fix a problem.

I gather that console app means something you can run from a terminal? First I'd clean up the code a little bit (don't check for num==0 in the loop): #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(){ long int num; while(1) { printf("\n\n *Enter a '0' or zeroes to terminate the program: "); scanf("%...

It sounds like a problem with your mouse or keyboard.

What do I need to do to either create the script in the right place or move it from the Downloads folder to /bin? sudo mv ~/Downloads/script-name /bin/. You might want to replace mv with cp , to preserve the original copy. Also check to make sure /bin/script-name doesn't already exist. Edit: rather...

I believed when working on the user A account and using sudo command, If you want user A to be able to use sudo, why not make A be member of the sudo group? I can stil use the "su user_B something something" to execute commands as su but it is annoying to type that long command and in general, ther...

Thanks to Lutris I have 99.9999% of all my Windows native titles working and flawlessly through a variety of Wine versions as needed depending on the individual title.

So you've installed one million Windows programs and they all worked except one? That's pretty cool.

I attempted to install Wine from the Software Manager, but was unsuccessful, as per attached two screenshots. Although it said I had an internet problem I was able to download and install 'Wine Tricks' without a problem, thus proving no internet problem. I tried to navigate to the web page from scr...

My newbie question is where do I submit my application problem? Probably the first thing to do is try to solve it; an internet search on linux "Slack" blank after suspend returns similar problems with slack (apparently an issue with the latest version), and this is the first result: https://github....

I prefer the Mint website over the others. Manjaro - horrible and gimmicky, stupid menu (or whatever it is) that comes and goes when you scroll up/down. The wiggling and jumping give me an impression of flimsiness (which matches my last experience with Manjaro: removed some fonts and the menu system...

I installed Sonarr using snap. Trying to setup Sonarr, I get this error message. "Folder is not writable by user root." Also the /home folder doesn't show in the list of available folders which only show these folders: bin, etc, lib, meta, NzbDrone, snap, usr? And internet search on "Folder is not ...

In a terminal, what does this return?

Code: Select all

ls -al $HOME

Edit: and how about this one?

Code: Select all

username -l NEW_LOGIN -l, --login NEW_LOGIN The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. Nothing else is changed. In particular, the user's home directory or mail spool should probably be renamed manually to reflect the new login name. Watch out for adding a new user because file a...

Might be better off with .xprofile?

That worked for me, and was applied after a logout/login.

Flemur

Long shot, given my linux knowledge, but wondering if .profile is only activated when a terminal window is opened, and that opening one is part of your saved session, Flemur? Otherwise, some other strange setup difference :) See the other post I just made: for me, .profile in run/sourced without op...

A note on .profile : The file .profile is not read and processed after logging in to the graphical desktop (xfce in your case). .profile is only processed in a terminal (window), provided the shell /bin/bash is run as a login shell. It runs (or is sourced) for me when I delete the xset.txt file, re...

For an easy test, make a file in your $HOME called test , put the below text in it (use any text editor), and add a line /home/username/test to your .profile. /home/username/test file contains: echo "test running" > /home/username/test.txt Make it executable: chmod +x test Log out, back in and see i...
