When I gvim a file from gnome, gvim's working directory is always my home directory. That is not what I want. It is inconvenient for :vi , :r and :w something.else . Is there a way to automatically cause gvim's current directory to be the directory of the edited file? I am aware of workarounds involving the command line. I am aware of gedit. I am looking for a way to give gvim the correct

This happens every time. I: 1. ssh into another machine 2. start gvim 3. Select another color scheme from "Edit | Color Scheme" At this point gvim hangs and so does the terminal that I am ssh'ed into. I am using vim 6.1 on Solaris 7 machines. I am using: OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f This problem doesn't happen if I rlogin and set my

And some more error messages related to rails#app. Why doesn''t gvim work while

Compiling vim 7.4 as described by vim works fine, but calling gvim/vim results in a segmentation fault in CentOS6.5. Debugging with gdb points to a problem with strncmp(). Even compiling gvim 7.3 does not work. How to resolve this issue? Would be great if somebody could help. Thanks Christoph

Dear all - I do fret this to be a revealing beginner question - fortunately, this mailing list have been good to me in the paste .-) I am looking for a good R editor/environment in ubuntu. To that end, I have decided to dive into gvim as the modality offered here seems to make sense for editing. I want to use Johannes Ranke's vim r-plugin, but I can't make it work. I have the plugin

OS CentOS-6.2 with updates to present. I use git on this host to manage configuration changes and to monitor package alterations. This is not meant to be a security check. It is simply a way for me to easily recover from fumble fingered configuration changes. Yesterday git status reported that the following files had changed since the previous commit: # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb #

I was editing a file in gvim when I inadvertently pressed some key combination that caused the vim window to disappear from the desktop. I looked in ps and found that it was still running. Checking the tool bar at the bottom of my display I noticed that a large rectangle now occupied the second of four boxes on the extreme right hand side. Clicking on that box brought back the gvim instance but

We've had basically no issues with an older samba 3.4 installation working with Win 7, but suddenly this morning, "homes" shares are acting strange. I can create new folders, I can create new documents. However, any attempt to rename the newly created file gives me access denied problems. I can edit and save the file if it's text, from notepad, but Word and Excel documents fail

I am trying to get the Vim-R-Plugin<http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628> to work with gvim and R on Windows 7. When I open a .R file in VIM, it complains and says ""Python interface must be enabled to run Vim-R-Plugin." I have installed pywin32 for python 2.7, and added the following 4 lines to my _vimrc per the instructions

I downloaded the .pdf version of "Thinking in C++" and I've begun to read that and I did yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' I'm a Newbie Desktop user, jumping into the deep end of the pool. Should I try to learn vi (Vim) (which obviously will help me, if I ever need to administer a remote box) or install Emacs or something else, for the gcc editor? An easy learning

Hello, I am new to Xen and I have class project to develop in Virtualization course. One of these projects in about nVidia CUDA Virtualization. As far as I understand from the architecuture of Xen, for virtualizing CUDA on Xen, I will have to prepare a back-end (for Dom 0) and front-end (for Dom U) drivers for CUDA. Is this right? Also, from where can we get the source code of latest nVidia

We have a server which runs Samba and Apache. Web developers edit their files (via Windows mapped drives) from Windows XP SP2. These files are typically CGI files and the developers' routine is: while (web page not quite right) { 1. Edit file 2. Save 3. Click Reload on web browser 4. Check results } They go around that loop many times during a typical development run.

Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer.
