How can I get tab completion to work for selecting CVS modules under Linux (preferably using bash) ? For example, "cvs co " + tab would list the modules I can checkout. I've heard it's easy to do using zsh, but still I didn't manage to get it working either. Also, how can I list all available modules (or repositories?) available in th...
I have Slackware 12.1 and wish to try out Eclipse for PHP/HTML/JavaScript development. However, it seems I'm facing myriad of possible options and I'd hate to miss the best thing and give up on Eclipse (I'm currently using Geany, but I'm missing some stuff like , for example, auto-complete for JavaScript) I'm currently looking into just...

I downloaded the Aptana_Studio_Setup_Linux.zip package, unpacked it and run ./AptanaStudio. It starts fine, but reports one problem: The embedded browser widget for this editor cannot be created. It is either not available for your operating system or the system needs to be configured in order to support embedded browser. After that, i...
During university, I wanted to start a software business. I didn't know what at the time, but I knew it would have to be Windows and closed source in order to make enough money to support a career. Was I wrong? What could I have been told that would have changed my mind? I'm looking for arguments about why I could have programmed Linu...

I was using mysql++ library and compiling with GCC 3.3.4. That GCC version had some bugs so I upgraded to GCC 3.4.6. After upgrading GCC I rebuilt mysql++ and recompiled my program. But now I get a segmentation fault error. I get the following message: ./mysqlTest: Symbol `_ZTVSt15basic_stringbufIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE' has dif...
I have a command that runs fine if I ssh to a machine and run it, but fails when I try to run it using a remote ssh command like : ssh user@IP <command> Comparing the output of "env" using both methods resutls in different environment variables.

The system is running a custom made HTTP proxy, which is subjected to a mild load (it works fine with the same load on other sites). The system comprises of 4 servers that are preceded by a load balancer with virtual IP, which is preceded by an array of 4 ISA 2004 machin...

I need to run a Linux CLI command and get its stdout output from C. I can use pipe() to create a pipe, then fork/exec, redirecting child's stdout descriptor into the pipe before calling exec(), and reading from the pipe in parent. Plus I'll need to wait on the child. Is there a simple call to do fork + redirect + exec + wait, like syst...

I want to be able to do something like this... substr "abcdefg" 2 3 - prints 'cde' Subsequent similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questio...

I'm working on a GUI application in WxPython, and I am not sure how I can ensure that only one copy of my application is running at any given time on the machine. Due to the nature of the application, running more than once doesn't make any sense, and will fail quickly. Under Win32, I can simply make a named mutex and check that at start...
I need a Linux text editor to replace Textpad 4.7.3 (a Windows nagware app), but all the alternatives I've tried are either bloated or incomplete. Here are the features I find most important, in descending order: Regex search, mark, and replace (across all open files, even), regex search in directory trees Tabbed editor with proper key...

I like to keep my shell sessions named with useful titles as I work, this helps me keep track of what I'm using each of the many tabs for. Currently to rename a session I double click its name on the tabbed part of the console - is there any command that I can use to do this from within the shell? It would save me a bit of time. thanks...
