General :: Subscribe To Feed In Thunderbird From The Command Line?
Apr 22, 2010
From reading around the web, it looks like Firefox's "quick view" of an RSS feed sometimes lets you "Subscribe to this feed using" Thunderbird. For whatever reason, that's not an automatically-added option with my setup (FF 3.5.something + Thunderbird 3.0.something on Linux), so I figured I could just "Choose Application...", point at the Thunderbird binary, and be on my way. Not so -- nothing appears to happen. If I run thunderbird from the command line as
thunderbird "http://path/to/feed" the app launches as normal. If it's already running, absolutely nothing happens. Is this impossible? Is there some mojo I can pass Firefox to tell it that Thunderbird exists? Should I just suck it up and copy/paste the URLs manually?
Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself ? Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.
I try to add comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup in Thunderbird account, but cant subscribe. It says "Failed to connect to server comp.os.linux.misc". I know I make mistake on writing the adress, but don't know how to write it. I found on google the name of the group, but no server.
I try also comp.os.linux.misc@googlegroups.com, but can't subscribe too.
I am trying to write a script that takes an input file ($FileName) and an intermediate file ($FileName.info) and removes lines from $FileName if the value in $2 of $FileName.info is <75.
I can't figure out how to feed only one line of the .info file to the if statement at a time so that it will perceive it as an integer instead of a list.
The error I am getting now is ./script.sh: line 6: [: : integer expression expected
picture = 1000 words all those weird .rdf files shouldn't be there. I can't remove them through the subscribe dialogue. I can try deleting them, but they don't go away. I only posted here because I don't care to sign up for every forum for every piece of software I decide to use. Too many logins to remember
how to close thunderbird fromterminal? I don't mean to kill the process,I just would like a "clean" exit.I'm asking this because my setup is so that the thrash should be cleared at exit so and the deleted email are deleted from the server. I then set a cron task so that thunderbird is killed but apparently doing so the emails are not deleted from the thrash (whereas they are if I close the application), and I'd like to change the task to close thunderbird rather then kill the process.
I've been using the command line music player moc for some time now & am in love with it. So, I thought it'd be nice if I can add a current track info feed to my conky display. Therefore, I have this smple script that gets the track info from mocp -i .
Code: #!/bin/sh TITLE="`mocp -i | grep 'Title:' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`"; if [ "$TITLE" != "" ]; then ARTIST="`mocp -i | grep 'Artist:' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`"; code....
But here comes the point. The way the track info is shown feels kind of blunt. I was wondering if something can be done either in the script or in conkyrc so that the track info is shown in a single line, moving backward at a constant speed; like you know, news channels show news strips at the bottom of the screen .
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
Just want to know what OS is, Fedora/RH/... Tried the following on a redhat machine: uname -o : GNU/Linux less /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.18-164.el5 (mockbuild@x86-002.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704) (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)) #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:54 EDT 2009 What is the right command to do it?
I can click the "movie player" from the GUI of Ubuntu, but how could I know the corresponding command line cmd. I want to run the movie player from commmand line. And this is not only about the background command for the movie player, I want to know all the actual command that was run by the x-window shell when I click on one of the icon on the menu.
$ ls one.tar.gz one.tar.gz $ tar -xvfz one.tar.gz tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now $ tar -xvzf one.tar.gz one $ tar -xzvf one.tar.gz one $ tar -zxvf one.tar.gz one $
I installed an older version of gdm and created a new XR1196 directory in /usr/bin and now my computer only boots into command line...
I can get to the GUI using startx, but in doing so I lose all audio output, and the option to shutdown or reboot from both CairoDock and the default panel...
I was trying to learn more about xorg configuration and came through an exercise that should be run at run level 3. So, I wrote init 3 in the command line then the x server stopped and the system was trying to enter run level 3 but then it hangs and nothing happens. At that time I was connected to the system via putty and wrote the command init 5 and the x server started again normally. I tried init 3 again and had the same thing.
Is there a single key strike through which i can do it ? like going to the word "to" and striking that key will put rest of the words in new line. ( i want to do it in normal mode , not in the usual insert mode where it obviously can be done by typing <Enter> )
I typed in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it tells me it's already installed. Good. So it should work. I type sudo/etc/init.d/gdm start and the screen goes blank for 8 seconds three times in a row and then back to the command line. I have also tried gdm start without the path before and it says GDM already running. Aborting! I have 8.10 and it's a valid disk (no errors).
i'm using ubuntu with the GUIi have a .pps (power point presentation) on the desktop. I installed the powerpoint viewer and made it the default program for opening the file.when i double click on the file everything works.my problem is i need this on a schedule so i downloaded scheduled task.in scheduled task they ask me the command line i want to execute and that's where it doesn't work. I checked the "allow executing file as program" box on the file but i get the error cannot execute binary file.
I really would like to learn all I can about using the command line. So if anyone knows of a good tutorial please let me know. I am running Ubuntu 10.10.
im installing gentoo on to my lappy and i have one problem if i do a command like help or something to that affect half of the commands dissapper so how do i scroll on it
