Jan 5, 2010For example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?
General :: Unzip Command: Option To Force Overwrite?
Jan 26, 2010I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files. The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation: replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
This is unacceptable for a script.I need an option to force unzip to overwrite the files.I did not find in the man page nor with Google.

Jan 21, 2010It looks like firefox 3.6 was released today - fantastic, except for those of us who develop/test websites (yeah, usually FF is pretty stable between versions, but still...). I'd like to be able to install 3.6 under F12 alongside my current FF 3.5 , running under separate profiles (preferably with a 64-bit build). Is my only option to download it from mozilla.org, and just install it under /opt/ or somesuch place? Is there an RPM that I can install somewhere which won't overwrite my current 3.5 installation?

Feb 19, 2010I am working on a bash script which among its operations creates directories using the mkdir command. However, when the directory already exists mkdir mentions that in the command line output.
Is there any way I can make mkdir silently overwrite any existent directory? (no messages in the output). For the same price, could it be done with other commands such as cp or mv?
Fedora :: GRUB :: Menu.lst :: GRUB Starts In Command Line?
Dec 1, 2010Code:
grub-install -v
grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
I loaded GRUB, and now when I reboot it goes straight into the 'grub>' command line. Initially GRUB had the root as (hd0,2), whereas the boot is on (hd0,1)...(hd0,2) is my '/home' partition, and (hd0,1) is my '/' partition... So on a bootup I ran...
Code:
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
Now when I boot I still get the 'grub>' command line, but now the root is correct.
From 'grub>' I can type...
Code:
grub> configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
GRUB will then show the menu, and I can click the listings to load them. All's fine, but why doesn't GRUB just load the menu.lst without my prompting? How can I automate this process of typing 'configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst' each time I boot?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Run Sessions Menu From Command Line?
Jul 8, 2010I want to find a way to bring up the session menu without using the Indicator Applet Session in the default gnome panel. I've figured out how to do this for the main menu with a keyboard shortcut (Alt+F1). And I found Ubuntu documentation here that says Super+Esc will bring up the Sessions Menu in Lucid but it doesn't work for me. I could create a custom launcher if I knew what command would bring up this menu but I can't find any info on this. Basically I want to get rid of the default gnome panel but still have the functionality of the Sessions Menu.Note: I removed the Me Menu from my Indicator Applet Session by running sudo apt-get remove indicator-me in a terminal. Would this be interfering with the keyboard shortcut?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Which Command Runs When Change Something In A GUI Menu
May 13, 2011I explain in with an example:
Imagine you want to know which command is carried out when, after executing gnome-mouse-properties, you go to the Touchpad tab and click on "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad".
Another example:
Imagine you want to know the command that is executed when, after running gnome-appearance-properties, you go to the "Visual Effects" tab and click on None.
I've had a look via gnome-system-log in all the log files of the left with no success. Perhaps the commands that run when one changes things in the GUI menus are logged in some other file. Or perhaps they are not stored in any log. In this case there is probably some terminal command to know it, or some program for this.
I think that know that no xorg.conf is used by default this is something to have into account.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Creating Custom Command/menu Launcher?
Sep 20, 2010I had a problem with viewing webcams on Skype, and after searching I found out that running Skype through the terminal with this command "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype" makes the webcams work perfectly. What I wanted to do was to integrate this command into the main menu so that I won't have to type it into the terminal (and thus keep the terminal open all the session) every time I want to use Skype. So I edited the command of the Skype button in the Applications menu and put that line instead of "skype", but it gives me "Failed to execute child process "export" (No such file or directory)". I tried editing .bashrc and added the following line:
alias skp='export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype'
Now the command 'skp' works through the terminal, but it gives me the same error message when I put it into the command line of the applications menu.

It's either the serial or the openmpi version... not both.
Since this specific package from sid calls for this dependence, which way do i have to check that if i override dependency checking it wont overwrite anything along the way...?
All other dependencies can be met... except this particular one...
And i wont be using the functionality that calls for openmpi...

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Secure Overwrite Of A Partition?
Jul 9, 2011i have a duel boot of windows and ubuntu, but recently i got a virus, but this things is leach like in appearance. I tried reinstalling windows, then reformatting the drive and reinstalling windows but i still have this same virus? This is dead creepy for me because windows cant read any of the other partitions, which are all formatted for linux, in formats which windows does not have the capability to read. So i dont understand how this could have happened. There are many things that i am still to try -- including completely overwriting the MBR with a GRUB in case the virus somehow resides in there?? But i have decided to give up on windows from now, because, despite all the actions i have taken, it has failed me repeatedly. But having had these viruses 3 times, i have noticed something, the first time i had a virus was my fault, because i left my computer insecure.
After i formatted my HDD following that virus, i noticed i had 10gb of space robbed from me, disk utility believed i had a 160gb drive, but Gparted and everything else told me that i only had 149.7gb of space??? now after this virus - which logically couldn't have happened without someone directly attempting to tunnel my computer as i had so much extra security - i lost 6gb of space from my HDD?? Sounds odd?
THE QUERY: So i want to know if (from ubuntu) it is possible to do a secure format (similar to with a mac - were it completely overwrites everything, instead of just deleting the links) although, possibly i am not going back to windows, ever.
Ubuntu :: Why Does Aptitude Overwrite /etc/sudoers
Jul 23, 2011I've been trying for a long while to figure out why aptitude overwrites /etc/sudoers ? Each time I run
$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
my /etc/sudoers is reset. This is really annoying because I have it setup so that mythtv can shutdown and restart automatically. The line in /etc/sudoers that gets deleted is:
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mythshutdown, /bin/sh, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh, /
sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown
When the line is missing my Ubuntu 10.04 does not shut down at all because of missing rights to do so. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I thought /etc-files were sacred for others than root, but it seems I'm wrong. Of course I have edited sudoers with visudo.
