SQLite error when loading two python scripts simultaneously

I have two python scripts that have to run simultaneously because they interact with each other. One script is a 'server' script running locally and the other is client script that connects to it via a socket. Normally I just open a couple terminal tabs and run the server script in one and the client in the other. After starting and stop...

Bash / open a terminal with a command to run passed as an argument

Hi dear stackers, I created a script that starts all the apps I need for my day and assign them to the workspaces I want. Given I'm a extreme-lazy basterd, I'd like to know is there was a way to pass an argument to the terminal I open.

I've just come off the Winows wagon, and the gnome-terminal and bash are looking great, but I don't quite know how to get it to do what I want, (I suspect it is possible).

The closest thing I've found is the "Terminator" program, which allows for broadcasting to multiple tabs, but not to multiple windows. Apparently a similar...

How to change gnome-terminal title in Ubuntu 10

I've tried setting my PROMPT_COMMAND variable: PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;"myWindowTitle"\007"' but something changes my tab (or the whole terminal title) to 'user@hostname:/current/path', thus PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;"myWindowTitle"\007" && sleep 3' changes title for 3 second only :) ...

How come whenever I run 'gvim' from Terminal in Ubuntu 10.04 Linux, I get a GLib-GObject-CRITICAL gvim error?

When I run gVim from Terminal in Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome I get this error: (gvim:6226): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed It looks like that everytime except that the number in between the parans (gvim: ) is always slightly different.
