Launch GUI from terminal

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.ubuntux.org – I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 x64 onto an unused laptop and reconfigured GRUB to launch to a terminal instead of the GUI as I quite often just want to run some commands without all the other stuff loading and slowing me down. When I decide I want to launch the GUI (I've changed to Cinnamon by the way) I type STARTX and the GUI launches, but it is missing the taskbar/menu at the bottom of the screen. I can right click and select different items, but am hoping someone has an idea as to why the GUI doesn't launch properly. If I reconfigure GRUB to boot straight to GUI then it launches properly, s (Distributions)

I mostly feel ashamed having to ask this question, but I can't remember the answer or even think of the proper terms to do a Google search.When I launch a program from within a gui file manager (thunar in my case), the program launches and I can then close thunar and the program will continue to run.But if I launch a program from a terminal window, as soon as I shut down the terminal window,

After a recent update it seems that when I boot the machine Grub loads and asks what I OS I want to launch. However, there are no other OS on the machine and it just launched Ubuntu previously. How do I edit the file so it will just launch ubuntu and not wait for timer to run out, or for the user to select?

Thanks.

In Fedora 17, how do I setup the following two things which are related to using the terminal?

1. I'd like to get the right click the desktop, then click terminal to start a terminal. This used to be nautilus-open-terminal, but I installed that and it didn't seem to work.

2. How do I setup a keyboard shortcut for launching a terminal?

In Linux Mint (Debian-based) how can I edit what the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+t launches?

For example, I would like to issue gnome-terminal with the --maximize option, and to have it launch tmux instantly.

The first time I launch a browser (either Iceweasel or Chromium) after boot up it takes several seconds to open, subsequent launches in the same session seem considerably faster.Is there anything I can do to make the first launch faster?Thanks.

Maybe a Kwrite bug ? 3 years 23 weeks ago

Anyone else using openSuse 11.2 find that you can't launch Kwrite as su from a terminal?

I can launch it as a regular user and I can log in as root and launch it but no way can I get it to launch as su.
