View 1 RepliesI'm trying to isolate a number from a text file using sed. The text file looks like this:
-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE- Number of frames: 183933 frames Codec -GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-
I tried the following:
Code:
sed "s/^.*Number of frames: //g; s/ frames Codec.*$//g" "info.txt" > "frames.txt"
Strangely, it only seems to be stripping off the end, but not the beginning, like so:
-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE- Number of frames: 183933
I'm obviously not using the command correctly, so what am I doing wrong?
I have used Awk in the past to isolate the file name from a given path..that is to say, I may have a list of files contained in list.txt.Can someone please post the Awk command that would do this? (I assume it will be very similar in form to the Awk command I showed above.)The point is, sometimes I may want to isolate the second directory, sometimes I may want to isolate the third directory or tenth or whatever - so I am hoping that if someone posts the Awk command to isolate the second level directory (to produce the output I showed in Fig.3) it should be fairly obvious by looking at the form of this command how to alter it and so isolate any other directory I want.

When I try to open pdf files from desktop, I get a dialog box about how to invoke the exe file. How do I get the exe to register the list of files properly?Also, how would I pass command line parameters for Foxit in the desktop entry file?
I recently got the information that Windows software do not run in Linux as such. In order to run these software (Running the software also includes installing the software by running the set-up executable file) I need to install 'wine' on my system and then run the set-up files from within this 'wine'. I therefore wish to install 'wine' on my system in order to run the corresponding Windows set-up files (which are executable files). I am running Linux Mint version 10 on my system.

I'm running Slackware 13.37 64-bit and was wondering if I use Wine to run a Windows program (with multilib files), would it still run as if it had been used on a 64-bit computer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI dual boot into Arch Linux and OS X 10.6 on my MacBook pro. I synced my UID between both OSes and created an HFS partition (with no journaling) to use as a shared home/Users partition. For the most part it works just as I'd expect, but sometimes when I'm booted into OS X certain files are "locked" (when I get info on a particular file the "Locked" box is checked under the "General" pane. I can resolve the issue by manually unchecking the box) and/or I get "Operation not permitted" when I try deleting or chmod'ing a file. In both cases I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the permission bits displayed with ls -l, except for a trailing '@' character in the position where the sticky bit would normally occur:
This '@' character shows up on ALL normal files, so doesn't seem to be linked to the locked/operation not permission situation.
On the Linux side of things I never have permission problems. To the best of my limited knowledge and experience with ACLs I've not found any ACLs on any of the files in question.
For what it's worth, I do most of my file editing using emacs (Aquamacs in OSX), is it possible it is setting weird permission bits?
What is the "locked" setting that OS X uses and does it have a permission bit equivalent (so at the very least I could recursively unlock all files in my home directory from the terminal) why might some, but not other files get "locked" when booting into OS X what is the meaning of the '@' character?

Im considering buying a 2nd gen apple tv and using home sharing to load movies onto it from my computer. Im running Ubuntu 11.4 and using the latest version of Wine to use iTunes 10. iTunes runs decently fine w/ a couple of small bugs (screen turns temporarily black,laggy,etc.) so im okay with that. The real problem is that my music isnt playing at all. I mean i can load it onto itunes but i cant listen to it. Combine that with the lag and it can get a little irritating.even with the inability of listening to music and the lag in the program, would i be able to stream content to my aTV w/out any bugs or no. I dont want to watch or listen to any of that content on my computer, just on my aTV but I am wondering if this inability would affect the playback on the apple tv. I dont even want to sync any ipods or anything like that, just sync the aTV (if even needed) for setup and use home sharing to listen to music, watch movies and tv shows, etc. on my apple tv w/out any frame rate drops or hitches or anything like that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a comcast business network adapter that has a 4 port switch. It also handles nat 1 to 1 translation for static IPs (That's just how they do it, there is no other choice).
In port 1, I have a cat6 that brings traffic to and from my linux machines, allows me to vpn, ssh, a mail server, etc. Everything here is fine.
In port 2, I have a netgear router that is setup with a point to point VPN for a client.
Here are the issues:
1. Machines that are connected to the netgear vpn router/switch can access machines on my network - I don't want this.
2. I can't access the machines connected to his lan from my lan - I need this to administer his machines somehow. Even if I have to VPN to the concentrator and do it like that.
Here is the network structure.
Code:
Internet <-> 10.10.10.1 -> switch with 10.10.10.x machines
|
-> internal vpn IP 10.10.10.50
|
[Code]....
The external network for the VPN is 10.10.10.x and the internal is 10.10.20.x. So, a machine with IP 10.10.20.100 can get to 10.10.10.X and I don't want that. I guessing it's doing this because technically, I'm 'from the internet' on 10.10.10.x and the vpn machines are going 'out to the internet'. Is there a way to have this:
vpn -> gateway traffic only?
I have a cisco 1811w at my disposal if I need to use it; however, I'm all thumbs when it comes to cisco IOS and networking in general.
Was installing wine 1.2.2 on ubuntu 10.10 my home folder had 60GB of free space before the installation started I chose to install manually. I installed all the dependencies manually from terminal. Then compiled wine 1.2.2 from the source code using ./configue make While running the 'make' process my 60GB home folder ran out of disk space. The make process was non ending. Ultimately it got aborted due to lack of space. Can't retrieve disk space that was lost since then. Tried with terminal commands like
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
Even tried to get into the wine source folder from terminal and use 'make uninstall' Nothing works and I now have only 50Mb of disk space on my home folder
all the packages which I have installed which are in experimental but which can be downgraded or can be had from unstable. Is there such a way ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLot of questions about WINE... When I'm done I'm going to make a HOWTO so that others can do what I did It's hard work, but I'm nearly done.The last problem I'm having is the WINE menu on GNOME won't show up after a install of WINE from a .deb package (it usually does). This was after I compiled WINE from source and removed it with "make uninstall" and "rm -rf /.wine".So now I installed the WINE from a deb package and the Wine menu entry is not showing up.I've tried re-installing Wine and rebooting my PC but nothing seems to work.

Or if you like.
What files do I need to restore from backup in order to restore my xfce desktop with all the different settings I made?
Edit: All user config files is usually stored somewhere in /home/$USER/. And since all the programs, kde, xfce and gnome stores their config there, this question is about what files belong to the xfce desktop.
This is my guess of what files belong to the xfce desktop:
.config/Thunar/
.config/xfce4/
.config/xfce4-session/
.config/user-dirs.dirs

I have just had to reinstall my OS (Sabayon) onto a new and larger hard drive (dying old disk). I quickly saved all my old docs in /home on an external USB drive (formatted and then created an ext4 file system) before the swap and installation.
After getting the new disk running I connected the USB external disk. First I could not access the drive at all, but that seems to be fixed. Now I want to bring all my files back to my new /home folder but apparently they (especially the former MS Office .doc, .xls, etc files, not so much the OpenOffice files) are �read only� and I don't have permissions anymore. I am able to create directories on the external, and can move files back and forth, but don't seem to own many of them.Sabayon automatically mounted my external disk in /media/disk, rather than /mnt, so I've left that alone for now. After searching here and elsewhere for info, I tried a few things (below): For access I added a line to /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext4 noauto,rw 0 0
Here's what I've done to try and fix ownership already:
in /media I:
Code:
# chmod 775 disk
which gives output of:
Code:
media # ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 21:30 disk
[code]....
I'm not sure what the �total 4� refers to since there is only the one directory �disk� inside /media but I assume that's not part of this issue... Does adding umask=0 have anything to do with this, and if so where does that go?
it is possible to change the root directory for a single, particular program. For example, I have an executable, 'miscreant.bin' that has all of it's required libraries in a directory named "libraries", in the same directory as the said executable. I can launch the program and make it use the libraries included with the executable rather than the system with:
Code:
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path ~/miscreant/libraries ~/miscreant/miscreant.bin
...or...
Code:
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/miscreant/libraries ~/miscreant/miscreant.bin
With either, miscreant can be portable. But, I would also like to change the root directory (like chroot) of miscreant, so that the directory "~/miscreant/sandbox" becomes the root ("/"). So, if miscreant created a file named "/home/bryan/miscreant", it will be redirected to "~/miscreant/sandbox/home/bryan/miscreant". I am running Crunchbang 10 (Statler) on a 32-bit Atom netbook.
iam trying to send sms using gnokii utility in linux firstly i did sudo apt-get install gnokii after that i got a gnokiirc.gz file in /usr/share/doc/gnokii/sample/gnokiirc.gz file here after that i did gunzip gnokiirc.gz then i transferred my file from the /usr/share/doc/gnokii/sample to home directory by using copy command as copying files to home is not allowed so i used sudo sudo cp gnokii /home after that i changed the port=/dev/ttyUSB2 and model=AT in the gnokiirc file in the home directory and then i wrote gnokii --identify

View 6 Replies View RelatedInstalled Ubuntu along with Debian on my Notebook and use Grub Manager to choose between them on startup. Since i like Debian now a lot (in past days it was a very hard system to handle, but there has been some progress i noticed), i have to change some things (want Debian as main system now) For Ubuntu i have: (was meant to be main system on Notebook) "/", "/home" and a "swap" partition, but since i am now going to use mainly Debian, i wanted to store my files all in the "/home"-folder of my extended Ubuntu partition (has much more space available) not in the "/home" folder of the Debian system. So i want both (Debian and Ubuntu) to use the same extended partition ("/home") which i created for Ubuntu to save their files like downloads, videos, and so on.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAt school, the shop I work in has machines that run windows xp and cannot be updated to the latest SP (consider these machines "B"). This means that they are quarantined whenever connected to the network. There are also workstations that we would like to be able to connect to "B" for the sole purpose of dropping a file into a directory. These machines we will call "A" and are considered trusted.
I have No control of the school's network. I have a spare PC with two NICs as well as a 5 port switch. My thought was to use the spare PC as a gateway/router/VPN and setup an isolated "network b" consisting of all the untrusted systems. Disallow all traffic other than the VPN connection. Connect via vpn from the 4ish trusted workstations "A" to Network B. I could use mac filtering (I think) to accomplish this and disallow any computer not specifically authorized, thereby isolating the untrusted computers completely.
the permissions for my home directory were accidentally changed from 'access files' to 'create and delete files', and I changed them back, but ever since then I am not able to change any preferences/settings at all. power management, themes, panels, emerald, anything. my user account is supposed to be the administrator, and all the user privliges are checked. how to get control of my computer back?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using Wine to run some Windows applications (GraphicsGale, Angelcode Bitmap Font Generator, etc.) but it's a bit annoying to have Ubuntu always tell me that .EXE files are not executable, and a bit nonsensical since, by definition, they are.
Right now, every time I download an installer .EXE I have to first manually set the executable flag in the file's properties. This is a bit annoying. Is there some way I can set Ubuntu to automatically register .exe files as executables?
