Desktop shortcuts and Menu Item for GNOME
by kshitijv 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hi, I am not able to create Desktop shortcuts and Menu item in GNOME. I discovered that for both KDE and GNOME, its an accepted standard to have .desktop files to represent shortcuts. File contains group and name-value pairs like: [Desktop Entry] Name= Type= Comment= I created few files for KDE and all of them worked fine. But on GNOME I am not able to run them. My concern is to provide shortcuts to HTML files. I tried to create file like: [Desktop Entry] Name=MyLink Type=Link URL=file:/home/kshitij/myApp.html Icon=/usr/share/icons/html.xpm Terminal=false MultipleArgs=false Comment=Simple HTML File link It simply doesn't work. The icon is created on Desktop but can't be executed. Although it works absolutely fine on KDE. I can create Application links in GNOME i.e. Type=Application Exec=<executable-name> This works but Links do not work. Can anybody help me? -Kshitij kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

Help to query X !!
by Akhilesh S Shirbhate 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

After the previous quick responses... I have one more small query again! Now , I want to query the X servers.. See.. what I have to do is this: I have a deamon running... Now I give it some username It first checks if the user is presntly logged in... (either on tty or on pts ). Then I determine the delay for which the user was idle on the terminals on which he has logged in... Currently , I am doing this for tty and pts only. Now, I pop up a window on the terminal(tty ; using ncurses) on which the user is logged on and has least idle time (similar to write command's working). My deamon also has the property to popup GUI windows on X screens. But now, I have this problem : How do I determine if the user is presently logged on X ? And if he is , which DISPLAY is he using ??? Is there something like utmp (which works for tty and pts records )... for X ? I want to determine if the user has least idle time on X or on tty/pts .. I wrote the code for tty.. but what abt X ??? Please guide me..

Help me !!!!!

I wrote this code: void main() { execl("/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock","-display :0",NULL); sleep(10); } Now I 'xhost +' ! (To disable the access control) Now compile it and then run it! If you run it from a xterm window... The clock runs ... But if I run it from a tty.. ie the text terminal... it says "Error: Can't open Display" What is the problem ??? I want a simple program .. which must be able to exec a xclock on desktop ':0' ... when I run the program from text terminal (tty) logged in as root ! Thanks in advance !!!! -- ********************************************************** * Never say die unless you are dead ! * * .oooO * * ( ) Oooo.

Addition of Referer Log Modules In Apache
by Jaishankar Krishnan Iyer 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hi, I have recompiled the Apache 1.3.20 to add the referer log modules of on our web server. ./httpd -l results Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_env.c mod_log_config.c mod_log_agent.c mod_log_referer.c mod_mime.c mod_negotiation.c mod_status.c mod_include.c mod_autoindex.c mod_dir.c mod_cgi.c mod_asis.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_rewrite.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_setenvif.c mod_php4.c mod_dav.c suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec I have also enabled the log format under httpd.conf with the result the logs files are referer_log file is created under /logs. The problem now is, this log file referer_log does not get updated when this server URL link is accessed from other Servers/Programs. Would appreciate if somebody can give pointers to this about what is missing. Let me know if any more details are required. Thanks and Rgds Jaishankar jkiyer67(a)rediffmail.com

Mozilla 1.2 is out. Go grabbit!
by Tahir Hashmi 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hi all! Mozilla 1.2 is out and here's the hot stuff: - Xft is now available in the stable branch (it rocks!) - "Type Ahead Find" enables you to search for text a la vi and jump to links w/o using mouse - Document Prefetching is now enabled Tip: Galeon users should set the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable to the install-dir of Mozilla 1.2 for AA rendering in Galeon too. I haven't had any issues so far (~ 30 mins). -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

[OT]New to ILUG-BOM
by Natarajan V 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi, I am Natarajan, and have come to Mumbai recently. One of the first things that I did was to subscribe to iLUG-BOM. I was and still a member of iLug Chennai. I would like to attend the meetings of ILUG-BOM. It would be nice if someone could throw some light on how to reach the place and such details... ( I am completely new to Mumbai, and Hindi is one of my weakpoints.). I would also like to know the general activities and strategy of the group. Is it something like ilug-chennai, which is completely free for all, or does it have a slight commercial tilt .. or something..... Thanks for the info. Regards Natarajan
