Gambas ONE

Unfortunately the search feature does not allow us to search on "system service" so unable to see if this is already answered.

I am wanting to know if we can write a system service in gambas? What restrictions are there? I assume we can't put in a GUI for it.

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of hostnamectl, you gave me something new to play with. I thought that this was an interesting question. As a result, I discovered that all distros that use Systemd , and that is most distros now, have a useful command called hostnamectl . This produces quite a b...

I am going to try the desktop file edit. I had never seen it done that way. I used gnome-tweak-tool to do the autostart and it does not provide for delay. the options you provided do not work for me at all. They are ignored. I had to modify the exec line instead Exec=bash -c "sleep 7 &&...

I have written a Point of Sale in gambas that is used all the time. They get very complex especially when doing receipts and figuring out pricing. I am lost as to how you are doing things on this but always happy to talk private about how we can do things. The way I handled this was since the sale i...

This problem is strange. I am using fedora 36,37 and I am attempting to have a gambas written program come up at system start up/sign in.

I did more testing and the code Public Sub OpenTestWindow() Dim w As Window = New Window w.W = 300 w.H = 200 w.Move(Screens[1].X + 100, 100) w.Stacking = Window.Above w.TopOnly = True w.Show End will open a window but it is under the VLC full screen. I am still trying to find a way to pop up a windo...

I will give another try to the code bruce gave. But the mention of KDE made me cringe because now I am wondering if I have to worry about what desktop is being used. Something I had not considered.

I tested out some of this and it works fine except for where it is really needed. None seem to pop up a notification over another application that is running full screen such as VLC or totem. I need to be able to put a message up even over a full screen app.

I am working on another project and need a little help. My program is running in the background all the time but I want to interrupt a user no matter what he is doing or working on and show a message from my program on the screen on top of anything else including full screen apps. I have no clue how...
