View 2 RepliesTrying to get the basename of a file without the extension, I found this snippet but it just returns command not found twice:
[Code]....
Also tried (with and without the quotes on input and file_ext):
input=$1
file_ext=.${input##*.}
base=`basename "$input" $file_ext`
executed: convert.sh /path/music.wav But it echoes base as music.wav
The back.sh script is being run as user basil, whcih means that when it comes to copying the backup file to the target location you do not have the correct permissions to access the contents of the directory (it is rwx by root only).So, what do we do? Hoping it is ONLY the directory permissions which are fouling things up we have a range of options which, in not particular order of 'good', include:
a) change ownership/permission on target directory.
b) have the back.sh script run by the root user
c) set up sudo to permit the file copy to be done by root
d) use setuid on the back.sh to have it run, effectively, as root
A lot of the answer will depend upon what else the Dropbox directory is for. If it's JUST for your backups for this then I'd be inclined to:
Code:
chown basil /root/Dropbox
chmod g+rwx /root/Dropbox
which will permit the basil user full access and thus allow the file operations being done and give root access via the group permissions (not that the root user really needs this).Also, I'd be inclined to:
Code:
chown basil /home/xxxx/moo3/bin/back.sh
chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= /home/xxxx/moo3/bin/back.sh
which will make things 'look' better, it just reinforces the point that the script is run (and owned) by the basil user.
I get this behavior on Slackware 13.37, which includes BASH 4.1.010. Yes, BASH is my shell. I have a file called a.flac and I'm in the directory that contains it.
The output of the ls command is expected:
Code:
ls *.flac
gives:
Code:
a.flac
Removing the extension with basename works as expected:
Code:
basename a.flac .flac
gives:
Code:
a
Putting the above command in a variable substitution works as expected:
Code:
echo `basename a.flac .flac`
gives:
Code:
a
Using xargs with ls and a variable substitution works as expected:
Code:
ls *.flac | xargs -i echo `echo {}`
gives:
Code:
a.flac
However, when I try to add the basename command to the above command, it stops working.
Code:
ls *.flac | xargs -i echo `basename {} .flac`
gives:
Code:
a.flac
Whereas the result I expect is:
Code:

View 2 Replies View Relatedi just downloaded and installed opensuse 11.3 64 bit kde on my laptop.
all my hardware seems to be working fine.
i installed the drivers for my nvidia video card, and 3d is working along with kde's desktop effects.
i installed all my favourite firefox extensions including video downloadhelper downloadhelper - media download firefox extension an extension that can download videos from videos and other video sites.
all of my installed firefox extensions seem to be working except video downloadhelper.
when i try to download videos with it nothing happens.
previously i had opensuse 11.2 gnome 64 bit installed on my laptop, and the video downloadhelper extension worked fine.
i think this problem might have something to do with the way opensuse integrates firefox with kde.
I installed the banshee-extension-lyrics addon from the repos and it doesn't seem to have any effect on Banshee. I've searched through Banshee's Preferences and the Lyrics option is already checked under the Extensions tab, but it doesn't work.
There is an option for the lyrics to be displayed is in the context pane, but it always says the same thing:
Quote:
Song Name Lyric
[URL]
Powered by LyricsPlugin [URL]
The problem, then, is that although the Lyrics option is available and does something, it doesn't display actual lyrics!
I found this extension [URL]
But haven't been able to get it working.
I copied the files to the mentioned directory ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

If I click back out in a text area, the page moves back to where it was. This is very annoying. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

I am trying to grab some files off this file to create a PXE vmware boot.
I am developing an extension for firefox that enables users to chat with any others who happen to be browsing the same website at the same time. The xul file adds a tool bar with a button "Enable Chat" in the browser toolbox. when a user clicks the Enable chat button, the server initiates the chat. I went through many tutorials for extension development. They have helped. But I cant seem to get my extension up properly. Ill just put up the contents of my files for extension..
/home/neethusha/extensions/blaze (blaze is the name of the extension)
chrome/content/blaze.xul
install.rdf
chrome.manifest
[Code]....
I made the pointer to the extension in a file named "blazebutton @anywhere.com" and saved it in the firefox profile folder "/home/neethusha/.mozilla/firefox/d5ma3rr9.dev/extensions"
When i open the firefox in this profile, the extension is not loading...

I got spicedir: Undefined variable in my xterm
How could I match a file name without extension in csh
