View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to write a script, but for some reason I can't test two variables using -gt:
a=`expr $currentSize + 0`
b=`expr $fileSize + 0`
[$a -gt $b]
this is what I get:
[22234534: not found
what is the problem? It seems like I can't check if a variable is greater than another but only if a variable is greater than a fixed number. Is that so? By the way the variables $fileSize and $currentSize exist and $a and $b have a value.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've searched and read lots about trying to get gnome-shell to run in Virtualbox(v4) with no success on my end. Lots of the posts are outdated and are using Virtualbox 3.
So anyone have any tips or hints for testing the Gnome-shell? (I'd prefer to test in with 10.10 in Virtualbox 4, but am open to upgrading to 11.04 if necessary)
I'm trying to do the following. from a php webpage click on a link, that opens a shell/cmd and runs an open ping to the device. so it must actually open a shell (for linux) or cmd (for windows) and run a ping to the specified ip. Currently i'm running an exec command, but for this i need to wait for the result to be fetched and print it out. I want to monitor it in realtime, by just clickingon the button. How to get this working?

My little issue now:I am debugging a new [Korn] shell script. I have a function that performs a specialized match on a string and I see that I am able to call that function with no problem, with both of it parameters. The function does not do any print or echo command - it uses "return" for a TRUE (0) of FALSE (1), as is the shell exit code convention. Thus, I have the following test:

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to test a distro? As a newbie, I am trying out several different distro's. I run them from a live CD and see if they are easy for me to set up my wireless, can be configured to multiple monitors, corectly recognize my hardware. I then connect to the internte and see if it plays videos or needs codecs downloaded, then connect to the reository and download any needed codecs, or pick a random program and see how easy it is to download and install.
Is this a reasonable way to check out a distro, or should I be looking at something else? Keep in mind, I am a newbie who is a user, not a hacker, and know nothing of the commandline yet.

I am trying to test an rpm by doing a yum install. It should not install and report a dependency conflict as there is deliberately another package installed it should conflict with but it is installing over the existing package. When I do this via an rpm -i it correctly does not install.
Detail below -
The SPEC file has the conflicts below
Conflicts: test_DEV = 1-0, test_UAT = 1-0, test_PRD = 1-0
If test_DEV is already installed for 1-0 and I try and install 1-1 via rpm is correctly conflicts -
rpm -qa | grep -i test
test_DEV-1-0
rpm -i test_DEV-1-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
test_DEV = 1-0 conflicts with test_DEV-1-1.noarch
Yet when I install both via yum it allows me to install 1-1 over 1-0 which I don't want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBought computer 11 months ago, immediately there were problems. What would happen is, when I logged in after a long period of shut down, the system would BSOD. Then I would restart and everything would be fine, until the next time I shut down for a long time (8ish hours) and got back on. I sent the laptop in (a couple times) and they eventually replaced the RAM and the BSODs went away. This is all on Windows 7 (well started on Vista, switched to Windows 7).
I recently set up a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. I'm experiencing crashes on Ubuntu (the whole system just freezes, can't operate mouse, keyboard, or anything) and the behavior is similar. When I log on after a long period of shut down, the system will crash, but if I restart (actually I have to wait 10 minutes before I restart, if I restart immediately it will crash again) then it is fine, until the next period of long shutdown.
So I'm thinking it's bad RAM, so I downloaded Memtest and am testing each of my sticks (they are each 2GB) individually in the same connector thing (don't know what it is called, whatever the sticks attach to). The test for the first one passed with flying colors. However, the second one is having problems. On test #2, the memtest repeats itself, continuously looping through 0-32767 errors on the right side.
My laptop is an Asus G50VT
The 2 most interesting lines...
Highest Error Address: 000fffffffc - 4095.9 MB // does this make sense? 4095.9 MB on a 2GB stick?
Test 2: 32767 // the 32767 loops back around to 0 and repeats
I have fifteen Audio CDs - an Audiobook - that I haven't used in ages.

I've recently been experimenting with glxgears, but found people saying this is not an ideal benchmark tool as there are many variants; for example resizing the window affects the FPS tremendously.
