Gedit Not Opening From Terminal - Not Authenticated

I have Ubuntu 14.04. gedit is my preferred text and code editor. All of a sudden I am getting this warnng when I open a txt file:

Quote:
(gedit:3860): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkScrolledWindow 0x9bba3c8 is mapped but visible child GtkScrollbar 0x9bbc7a8 is not mapped
There are four such warnings in a row (or rather column). They litter my terminal output. What is this and how to correct it?

Thanks, - A.

Hello - I admit to being new to Linux. I'm not sure if this problem should be re-routed to a more advanced level, though.

I downloaded Oracle Linux ver. 7 on my server with Server settings (and a Gnome GUI). After running through the terminal basics, I tried opening gedit to test out its capabilities. It wouldn't let me save to folder; it just grayed out and I had to quit the application.

I modified gedit to -rwxrwxrwx (chmod) and took ownership of the file (chown) under my user profile and group. When that didn't work, I re-logged in as root and modified gedit back to root ownership and group, and it still won't save changes to any file location.

One more thing: gksudo didn't work, either...

Any suggestions?

I am using debian 7.7 stable and when I open the root terminal it asks for the password.

But if I open it again, I get the message: 'Granted permissions without asking for password. The /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator program was started with the privileges of the root user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's authentication mechanism setup'.

Oh, really? Because I don't remember setting up any 'authentication mechanism setup'.
How can I change this so the root terminal always asks for the password?
Do I have a trojan already? Because I installed the OS just a few days ago.

Thanks very much.

i have a few score of files (>50) in fasta format. these work fine in linux os
but i have to send these to a collegue who uses windows. and these files don't open properly in notepad or wordpad. executing save as to windows format does the trick

but i don't want to manually convert all of them

is ther a way i can accomplish conversion of multiple files and saving them in a format of my choosing using say terminal

Hi there. My environment: Ubuntu 12.04, preferred editor is gedit. All of a sudden, just today I realized that I have close to 200 lines of chinese characters intemingled with small squares and circles instead of my gfortran code when I open this file in gedit. It has about 900 lines. I also see a red band on top of the editor window saying there are bad characters and if I want to quit or keep editing.

I then open the same file in vim and find that the file is intact, no errant characters at the bottom. I then uninstall gedit, reinstall it and find the same. The bottom of the file's filled with this chinese garbage. Any idea how to correct it?

Thanks, - A.

P.S. Just an example:

hi experts

I got a bit of problem with the below situation:

Code:

root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# virt-manager &
[1] 4663
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

[1]+  Done                    virt-manager
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# su test
test@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs$  virt-manager &
[1] 4679

As you can see, I ssh into my ubuntu host with user test, but during some nfs config I su into root, then try to launch virt-manager GUI via X11. Which obviously fails I guess since root wants to launch X11 session but I established the session as user test.

My question is this: Is there a way to stop this from happening? to allow my root to launch the GUI as well?

Thanks

Hi all,

was wondering if there was a program out there that will allow me to make notes at a specific time during a lecture video? The reason why i ask is because how i am doing it ATM is stupid as i have WAY too many notes in gedit and tomboy.

thanks,

I have made a change to GRUB2 bootloader in etc/default/grub.
Now I need to run 'update grub' for the change to take effect.
However, the 'update grub' command on the terminal is giving this error message:
Code:

root@debian:/# update grub
bash: update: command not found

Can someone please explain why this command is no longer working?

I've had to make a change to grub because I tried to install a new distro which meant I had to alter grub.
The install wasn't successful so I deleted the grub file and then re-installed it.
The re-installed grub needs a change so I can get sound on my pc.
However, I can't add these changes because the 'update grub' command doesn't work.

I've checked the grub file with another debian distro and they are both the same.
So now I don't know if I need to check if a different grub file is the problem or anything else.
Can someone help?

It is too bad there is no search capability in the Mozilla browser. While reading large pdf files I am forced to copy their content into gedit and use its search tool.

Is there a way to change that? Thanks, - A.
