View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a quick question: how can I make the path short on the console? My problem is that if I descend 10 levels in a directory tree, the path becomes so long that it takes more, than one line of the console window. Is there a way to shorten it, and show only the name of the current directory, without the whole path, i.e., instead of

Some of my short cut keys seem not ot be working. Ex Alt +F2 dose not open a pop up command line. Also would like to add some short cuts. Like Ctrl + Alt+ Backspace for reboot. I went to the short cut app and I can add a short cut key, name it, but can't seem to figure out how to assign it a function. Didn't seem intuitive to me. I'm using the UNE version on a asus eel 1000.

remove a line starting with specific word with grep. Here is what I found
grep -v '^cc$' data.txt
Here I remove all lines with on 'cc' in that line. But I want the result write back to data.txt
I try several ways
grep -v '^cc$' data.txt > output.txt # works but to another file
echo `grep -v '^cc$' data.txt` > data.txt # didn't work, all carets gone, become one line
grep -v '^cc$' data.txt > data.txt # data.txt is empty after running this
How can I save the result of grep to the input file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat's a Unix/Linux one-liner that will let me delete all but the most recent N revisions of each file?
I've got a bunch of files with revision numbers as part of a legacy asset-management system:

bar.r8.js
bar.r9.js
bar.r10.js

NB: the file and its copy with "-1" in it will be the same filesize, if that helps.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a Debian Squeeze computer on which the graphics have packed up, but the terminal in single user mode work perfectly fine.
There are a few files on this Debian computer that I want to transfer off, to a networked computer, but I have no idea how to do this.
The destination computer is a freshly re-setup Mandriva install, without (as yet) samba. I don't think it's necessary though. The Mandriva install works fine, has graphics, etc, but can't see the Debian Squeeze computer on the network, possibly because it's in single user mode, thus prompting the problem of how to transfer the files, using only a command line.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried a program called BarPanel, which replaces the Gnome Panels. The installation instructions told me to download the program installer (the program installs automatically for Debian/Ubuntu users). Then I had to go to System > Preferences > Sessions to remove the gnome-panel entry and add the BarPanel one. So far so good. On re-starting, the new panels were installed to my desk top in bright green! The problem was that a lot of the icons don't work. The action menu does nothing and there is no entry for Sessions in the System menu, so I can't go back and undo. I have re-installed gnome-panel under Synaptic, without any success. I un-installed BarPanel, so I now don't have any panels at all now! One good thing is that I have Cairo-dock on my desktop, so I have access to several programs, including the terminal.
Can someone out there give me the command line instructions to get the gnome panels back.
