Recently, when we updated our OS, we got a new tcsh feature enabled by default. Whenever I type a command that tcsh doesn't recognize, I get an annoying spelling correction like:
% cats
CORRECT>cast (y|n|e|a)?
I want to disable this feature and allow misspellings to error out like:
% cats
cats: Command not found.
Is my enter key somehow getting re-bound? What could be causing this?
Does somebody know how to disable (in RedHat) terminal auto correction functionality

What's said.
I just recently installed Ubuntu for our server, and I had a question about using tcsh. I'm trying to run a script of commands and the first line of my script is: Quote: #! /bin/tcsh -f I chmod +x my script, but when I type the name of my script at the command line i get this message: Quote: myscript: Command not found. the only way my script will work is if I type: Quote: tcsh myscript
Only then, will myscript execute its set of commands. I would like to be able to type the name of scripts without having to type tcsh at the beginning, each time. Is there a way to do that?
My laptop's clock (Acer Extensa 5220) seems to be slow. I've corrected it 5 minutes forward last week and now have just corrected minute forward again. Is there a program [apart from time servers] to correct clock properly, for example, by shifting it a bit every hour? Is there already a program to put it to crontab or I should hack up a script? Or I should check more things?
I have found that HW clock is right, but system time is slow: about a second each 2.1 hours.
root@vi-notebook:~# dmesg | egrep 'clock|unstable'
[ 0.103785] Switching to clocksource tsc
[ 0.265274] Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle

[ 1.321408] rtc_cmos 00:09: setting system clock to 2010-10-30 00:10:48 UTC (1288397448)
Is placing "hwlock --hctosys" to crontab a right thing?
I'm looking for software that will help me transcribe music from MP3 files. I'd like to be able to select a portion of the song, and then have the software play it back to me at a selectable slower speed while correcting the pitch.

where the option to disable spelling checking is in FF? I think Edit>Preferences contains all of the settable options.
I'm often switching between the following three languages to check spelling in evolution, firefox and gnote:
English / United States
Dutch / Netherlands
Croatian / Croatia
The problem is that the language list is huge, what makes switching between the languages difficult. There are more than 20 types of English spelling and 3 Duch spellings (see the screen-shot).
I would like to configure this language list, so that only the relevant languages are displayed.
I tried to start a tcsh on my Fedora 7 (default shell is bash)
[ss@ssvm ~]$ tcsh
[ss@ssvm ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
As you see, another bash shell started.
I looked at the tcsh file:
[ss@ssvm ~]$ ll /bin/tcsh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 345348 2007-02-26 23:58 /bin/tcsh
[ss@ssvm ~]$ ll /bin/csh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-03-07 13:13 /bin/csh -> tcsh
It is not a link (but csh is). I don't understand why this is happening.
I'm so lost it's difficult to even pose my question. My default shell is bash; and I'd like [actually, required to] have the ability to type csh and enter the TC shell...but it's not working at all. All the changes I made to the ~/.bashrc file work great, but I can't seem to access tcsh to see if the commands in my ~/.tcshrc file work.
When I type "csh", my old PS1 [prompt] displays and I have to type "exit" to get back to the one in the bashrc file and then type "bye" to log out off the system.
I've spent the last 3 days researching this, but every article/blog/site discusses permanently changing my log in...NOT going to happen.
Can't seem to use tcsh as my login shell under CentOS 5 as I used to (if I specify /bin/tcsh as my start-up shell, the windowing system doesn't come up), so am logging in under bash then switching to tcsh on top of that, but it won't allow display access from tcsh for my programs. Gives the "cannot connect to display" error that usually xhost + is the solution for, but xhost doesn't help in this case (won't even run under tcsh, says unable to open display "0.0"). $DISPLAY is set in .cshrc. Must be something simple, but can't seem to find a direction to head?

Bios is a good recommendation but will that affect the fan speed? I know about the acpi=off option, this does not work properly- even on suse. Maybe noapic would work better? Really is there a cover all command line instruction (for all distros) to turn the annoying thing off? Main problem occurs when watching the telly and the screensaver kicks in, with suze it turns the sound off as well, even after you have re-entered the password

I've tried disabling the terminal beep in the terminal profile, disabling the beep in System/Preferences/Sound, adding "blacklist pcspkr" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and running gconf-editor from the terminal and setting /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_mode to 'off' rather than 'on'.
Is there a non-root shell command that can tell me if a user's account is disabled or not? note that there is a fine distinction between LOCKING and DISABLED:
LOCKING is where you prepend ! or * or !! to the password field of the /etc/passwd file. On Linux systems that shadow the passwords, this marker flag may be placed in /etc/shadow instead of /etc/passwd. Password locking can be done (at a shell prompt) via password -l username (as root) to lock the account of username, and the use of the option -u will unlock it.
DISABLING an account is done by setting the expiration time of the user account to some point in the past. This can be done with chage -E 0 username, which sets the expiration date to 0 days after the Unix epoch. Setting it to -1 will disable the use of the expiration date.
The effect of locking to to prevent the login process from using a supplied password to hash correctly against the saved hash (by virtue of the fact that the pre-pended marker character(s) are not valid output character(s) for the hash, thus no possible input can ever be used to generate a hash that would match it). The effect of disabling is to prevent any process from using an account because the expiration date of the account has already passed.For my situation, the use of locking is not sufficient because a user might still be able to login, e.g. using ssh authentication tokens, and processes under that user can still spawn other processes. Thus, we have accounts that are enabled or disabled, not just locked. We already know how to disable and enable the account - it requires root access and the use of chage, as shown above.To repeat my question: is there a shell command which can be run without root privileges which can output the status of this account expiration info for a given user? this is intended for use on a Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 system.The output is being returned to a java process which can then parse the output as needed, or make use of the return code.
is there a tool for this? (preferably similar to xfce display settings with sliders)
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirefox checks spelling in text areas, which is good. However, the dictionary it uses is global and dictionary changes do not reflect across text areas. When your chosen spelling dictionary is Polish and you enter text in English into box#1 and then into box#2, and then you decide to review your spelling, you can change the active dictionary to English. However, this will affect the spelling of box#2 only, which is good because box#1 might actually be in Polish. So you go back to box#1 and change the dictionary to English? Nope; the dictionary is English already so choosing English has no effect and the words are still marked as incorrect!
What you need:
A frame with two text areas, e.g. Bugzilla.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the spelling dictionary to Polish.
2. Enter "damaged " into box#1.
3. Enter "damaged " into box#2.
4. While in box#2, choose the English spelling dictionary.
5. Return to box#1.
6. Append text "damaged " (once more).
Actual results:
2. box#1: damaged
3. box#2: damaged
4. box#2: damaged
6. box#1: damaged damaged
Expected result:
6. box#1: damaged damaged

I don't know if this matters but I'm using tcsh for my shell...
I really like pushd and popd, but I don't like their long spellings, so I made aliases: 'x' runs pushd and 'xx' runs popd. That's not bad, but I wish I could improve them in the following way:
x => If followed by a path, 'pushd' (and cd to) that path. If not given any arguments, run 'popd'.
xx => 'cd -'
The problem is implementing that pushd/popd in one command trick. Since tcsh does not have functions, I've been struggling hard to come with a solution. I made a script, and it works, but it only works within the context of the script. The script exits and not only am I still sitting in the same directory, but also my dirstack is emptied.
A similar problem: make 'cdd'. I remember using that program in DOS a long time ago. I would run 'cdd /path/to/directory' and cd to that path if it existed, or create it and cd to it if it didn't exist. Again, I made a script, but that only works within the context of the script, not my current shell. So the new dir is created, but my shell won't cd into it.
I have been using tcsh for quite some time, both on a laptop running Ubuntu and a remote server running Slackware 11. No problem whatsoever. Now I am compiling and installing tcsh on a brand new Slackware 13 box and when I run tcsh I get this error:
Unknown colorls variable 'ca'
or
Unknown colorls variable 'hl'
I didn't have this problem in Slackware 11, why is it happening now?
So I tried the official Slackware package for tcsh. It works, but it's tcsh 6.15.00. Tcsh is at 6.17.00, which runs fine on my Slackware 11 box.
I investigated the problem on Google and all reports seem to refer to Fedora, some to Mandriva. Many of the threads, across several forums and sites, point to this LinuxQuestions thread:

I'm trying to install a Brother MFC425CN printer on my Gentoo system. I have obtained the files needed from Brother and extracted the payload.
The script for creating the filter (endless echos) is a csh script, so I emerged tcsh and ran the script. No luck. CUPS does not see the filter, even though it is present and has the same owner, group, and permissions that work on my other gentoo system.
When I print a test page the log file says
Code:
E [27/Jun/2010:09:36:03 +0800] PID 3912 (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC210C) stopped with status 22!

It's been too long since I got it working on the other system, and if I made notes they are lost...
