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.

Re: Get Linux version and name
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.

Re: very strange startup issue
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 &&...

Re: Advise on Cleaning up data
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...

Re: take over system focus
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.

Re: take over system focus
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.
