General :: Exporting A Variable From Within .xsession?

Mar 31, 2011

I'm trying to export a variable from within the .xsession so it will be available to any application started afterwards.

Here is a minimial .xsession file:

Code:

export MYVAR=123
exec gnome-session

The problem is that when I start a terminal and do:

Code:

echo $MYVAR

I get an empty string, meaning it's undefined.

General :: Exporting Environment Variables In Ubuntu?

Jun 2, 2010

I know many people have asked about environment variables before, but I am having a hard time dealing with these paths while ensuring I don't mess around with the original settings. How would you go about executing these commands in Ubuntu in terms of environment variables?

put /home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/stanley/Downloads ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unixinto your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh wish/xgraph.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

(1) You MUST put
/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13,
/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/lib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

General :: Creating XSession File Makes StartX Go Black

May 28, 2011

I want to put:
xmodmap -e "pointer =3 2 1"
somewhere in the startup. It seems creating an .xsession is the solution. But after I create a .xsession file in my home folder, the next time I run startx the screen just turns black. (And only for a short while can I switch to another virtual terminal, before that too becomes impossible). After deleting the file it runs OK again. I'm not using any login/desktop manager. I use IceWM on Debian Squeeze. Is there some script/import that has to be present in the .xsession file, or is something else going on? Also I'd like to know what I should do when I get a black screen. Turning off the PC is such a crude method

General :: Writing A Custom Xsession In Ubuntu That Logs Out On Process End

Aug 30, 2010

Im trying to create a custom xsession on Ubuntu 10.04 that will launch nxclient and logout automatically when it closes.

This is what I have so far

Code:

How would I go about altering this script to logout when nxclient closes? To make this more complicated, nxclient spawns a separate process (nxssh) when it logs in and closes itself.

Is it possible for a script to listen for a child process to close and then execute some commands (in this case a logout)?

General :: Use The Value Of One Variable To Generate A Name For Another Variable?

Jul 25, 2010

can i use the value of one variable to generate a name for another variable? for example i want to use the counter from a "do while" loop to name and define a variable each time the loop executes. for example

objectnames1=`ls -a`
objectnames2=`ls -a`
etc.

i don't have a script yet but each time through the loop i intend to cd to a particular directory and then define a variable containing a list of each object in that directory as values. for the rest of the script to work, each variable generated has to be unique, and i can't think of a good way to accomplish this.

if using a value from one variable to name another isn't possible, can anyone think of a more elegant solution? i know limited syntax but i'm willing to read up...

Ubuntu :: How To Run .Xsession In 10.04

Jun 9, 2010

I recently upgraded to 10.04, but I'll be darned if I can get GDM to run my personal .Xsession (or .xsession or .xinitrc or.Xclients...) when I log in. I don't see any option on the session menu. The only entries are window managers and "xterm". My script works when I log in from the console. don't tell me that Ubuntu (or GDM) has made things simpler by taking away the option of a .Xsession! Nah, couldn't be.

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?

Aug 21, 2009

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.

For example:

Code:

Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

Programming :: Make A New Variable With The String From The Old Variable Btut Without Any Plus Sign?

Apr 7, 2010

my script has a variable which comes in the form +00.00 +0.00 -00.00 or -0.00 (the numbers can be any in that form) for any that have a + symbol I need to remove the +, but if it has a - symbol it needs to stay.

i need to make a new variable with the string from the old variable btut without any plus sign. I have tried a lot of different ways with no success, each thing I tried either left the + or removed the entire string. I think this should work but doesn't

foo=+12.40

Fedora Networking :: Use A Running Xsession Environment Via Ssh?

Apr 22, 2011

I'm trying to control my media center via my netbook
but when I ssh into the machine and do
Code ...

So I guess the ssh session is trying to start an x session. Obviously I don't want another session but instead use the existing x session that the machine runs anyway (and on which Rhythmbox runs)

googling I found a similar bug for f12 but no solution or fix or anything...

sorry if this is such a noob question. I've never dealt with xsessions in that way...

Ubuntu :: Stop The Xsession Reporting Errors

Apr 13, 2010

I delete the file and within about a week i am back to a "out of space error" I have tried root owning the file with no permission to write, but it still gets written, just with a number on the end

the system appears to be working fine otherwise. I could set a cron remove but that seems a bit more hacky than telling it to shut up.

Programming :: Exporting In A Shell Script?

Nov 26, 2010

I am aware this has probably been covered hundreds of times, so apologies if so. I am fairly new to the linux scripting scene, so again apologies if what I'm saying seems pretty odd and makes no sense. I am attempting to write a script for some Linux Fedora test servers I have set up. For me to change which domain I have this set to point to, I would have previously changed the HOSTS and profile files manually, however I managed to make a script which changes these easily with the use of one command to launch the script.The problem I'm having is getting it to use the "export" command. I am aware this would have to be launched in the parent shell rather than the child and so I made a seperate script which has "export SIP_DOMAIN="test.blah.net" in it and had the first script "source" it. This doesn't work and I've probably done something somewhere that is incredibly stupid.

But the variables are not exported. I am unable to find whether its a conflict of shell or what ?? I tried with debug mode, it only displays the command but not execute anyone ..

Fedora :: Safe Way To Disable Xsession Error Log File?

Mar 26, 2009

I noticed the xsession-error file in my main user's home folder grow up to a big size, it's usually at 2-3MB sometimes up to 20MB. I use Fedora 10 64bit and KDE4.2. I got no problems at all and the xsession-error logfile is full of weird entrys, almost everything is reporting to it, mplayer, xine, opera, firefox, dolphin and many other software I use. I don't think the most of these entrys are real and critical system errors, especially all the mplayer stuff. However, I'm not worried about the file size since Fedora 10 seems to delete the file on every log in.

My problem is the disc access because all this never ending writings to hard disc kinda break things like the mount options noatime, nodiratime. I read something about you can redirect the logfile to /dev/null but that was for an ubunto distribution and I would like to get a how to for a save way to disable the xsession-error logfile, I got 8GB RAM so everything is in cache anyway after a long session, I really want to get rid of unnessesary hard disc access like that. If not recommend to disable it, can I direct it to an usb stick or ssd?
