I used to be able to put a .sh file into a folder to make it into a global command.
Instead of typing:
Code:
/home/user/tool/conversion/convertmkv.sh /home/user/mkv/thisone.mkv
I could type:
Code:
convertmkv /home/user/mkv/thisone.mkv
Where to hide my executable .sh files to make this work?

Is there some sort of program I can install that will automatically turn the rpm.bin/.bin into an executable file?

After copying the file to several different Mozilla directories and also making libflashplayer.so executable with the use of chmod +x libflashplayer.so I was unable to install the plug-in.To what directory must I install this .so file to get it to work? Also when I open the browser and user url://aboutlugins I don't see Adobe Flash Player Square yet. Is there an intermediary step?

Is it possible to 'include' a global SSH authorized_keys file?
For example, I have user accounts user1,user2,user3 and my user name is Benjamin. I want to be able to use my ssh key to authenticate as each of these users. I can manually copy my key to each .ssh/authorized_keys file individually, but is there a way to simply include /home/Benjamin/.ssh/global_authorized_keys in each of these user's authorized_keys file without manually adding and removing?

Now strange thing is that whats so ever the value is of atmegs.. is I am facing same issue.
If you're familiar with macs, you know that they use command keys instead of control..
If I want to select all I press COMMAND + A not CONTROL + A copy is COMMAND + C, paste is COMMAND + V, quitting an application is COMMAND + Q.
I am used to this, and I would like to change the command key to be the control key, and the macs control key to be the "windows" key.
I need to write a script that will take 1 command line argument. The argument will be a username. The script will determine if the user exists on the system and will print an error if it does not. If the user does exist it will determine if the user is currently logged in, if the user is not logged in it will determine the last time the user logged in and display the file in the users home directory that was most recently modified.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to set a default for new users for the akonadi mysql.conf file that is created for each user for the akonadi database. Usually this file contains a inno_db_log_file_size of 64MB. Because of this the database eats up 64MB storage even if its still empty. I would like to decrease this size globally for each "new" user since we have very tight storage restrictions on our NFS home directories now. And 64MB make up already have the quota each user has. So this is to much. where is this default mysql.conf file taken from?
I found hints that there used to be a /usr/share/config/akonadi/mysql-global.conf file that was simply copied but I cannot find such a file on my 11.4 system. It seems things have changed. how akonadis user specific mysql.conf file in ~/.local/share/akonadi/ is generated for a new user? How can I use my own template file here?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using a java application that runs as an interactive command line (in a terminal). My problem is that it's rather unfriendly as an interaction mode as it's minimalistic: it doesn't allow going to and fro with arrows, there's no history and so on. So I have to type all commands every time and have to retype it if I missed something at the beginning of the line, or I have to copy and paste from a txt editor. The strange thing is that I have seen the same application running on a Windows box and allowing for all the sugar. So I'm not sure if it's because of the shell script I run (as opposed to the .bat) or whether it has to do with system or profile settings in my shell.
For information, the shell script starts with:
Code:
#!bin/sh
I've replaced it with:
Code:
#!bin/bash
In hope I would have something closer to my normal terminal. The app runs but it doesn't change anything to the interactive mode. I'm rather clueless regarding sh/bash and so on. I've seen the manuals but I'm not entirely at home understanding and using their options. I know that there's a .bashrc and perhaps something like a profile somewhere, but I don't really know how to do things with these without risking messing up.
I have two major issues, and one minor one, after I started using Ubuntu, I tried searching the forum for them, but couldn't find anything relevant to my problems.First issue: Screenshots and the cursor.This is probably a very easily fixed issue, but none-the-less, I can not figure it out.How do I NOT include the cursor in my screenshots on Ubuntu 9.10?What I do is, I press the Prt Scrn button, and my cursor is always there in the image, and I don't want that.Second is pidgin.I love it, but every time I boot it up, my friendly name is reverted back to firefoxfag.I think it has something to do with me using gmail for msn, but I'm not sure...Also, as a last very small issue, the global hotkeys on audacious don't respond unless i open preferences, open settings for global hotkeys, then close down the settings..

View 5 Replies View RelatedSound is my #1 issue on F11.
Most of the time I can't change the system wide volume setting by pressing the function keys on my laptop (the volume indicator doesn't even show up). When that happens (and I havent't been able to find out why and under what conditions that happens) the volume applet on my panel also becomes useless. Useless meaning that I can slide the slider up and down with no effect on the audible volume. I can still change the volume within the individul applications (rhythmbox, totem, ...) with success.
Adjusting the volume via gst-mixer or pavucontrol does also works as expected. It's really just the volume keys and the panel applet that refuse to cooperate.
