General :: Testing Home Directory Scripts By Setting $HOME To The Location Of The Test Directory
Apr 20, 2010I have an interdependent collection of scripts in my ~/bin directory as well as a developed ~/.vim directory and some other libraries and such in other subdirectories. I've been versioning all of this using git, and have realized that it would be potentially very easy and useful to do development and testing of new and existing scripts, vim plugins, etc. using a cloned repo, and then pull the working code into my actual home directory with a merge.
The easiest way to do this would seem to be to just change & export $HOME, eg
cd ~/testing; git clone ~ home
export HOME=~/testing/home
cd ~
screen -S testing-home
# start vim, write/revise plugins, edit scripts, etc.
# test revisions
However since I've never tried this before I'm concerned that some programs, environment variables, etc., may end up using my actual home directory instead of the exported one. Is this a viable strategy? Are there just a few outliers that I should be careful about?

Aug 27, 2010I wrote a test app that scans for plugins in a directory, calls their getWidget() method (implemented in my interface), and adds that widget to a layout.
The problem is that when I added a QTimer to my plugin class, it didn't work! Why?
And will it be easier to write the thing in Python and not use QPlugin? I just want to define a QWidget and have it added to the app.
Debian :: "test-tz" Directory Gives An Error - Directory "australasia" Doesn't Exist But "Australia" Does
Jul 31, 2010I need to compile "/usr/share/zoneinfo/" to a directory in /home/dir/ so I can use it in a program to find and assign a time zone to users (example: UTC +3 or similar) and I need all available cities and town in it. it seems I should be able to do that with "zic" but what I found and tried does not work. I needed examples and I found the only info giving examples comes from: [URL]... Trying the 2 first lines verbatim after creating the "test-tz" directory gives an error that was to be expected although I use the distro used in the example, this is because the directory "australasia" does not exist but directory "Australia" does.
[code]...
I should be able to extract the info mentioned above is correct?

Jan 24, 2011In another forum (I each day visit a lot of them) a user was stating that you need to set a boot flag to make the root partition bootable, if you create partitions with GParted in order to install a Linux with GRUB2. Another was suggesting that, if you install Linux with GRUB2, the installer automatically sets a boot flag to the root partition to make it bootable (I don't remember the names). I neither believe the first nor the second thesis and I'm hoping that in this excellent forum some Gurus not only are saying I'm right but also give a comprehensive answer.

General :: What Is Rsync Flag To Ignore Permissions

General :: Rsync - Cygwin On XP - Delete Flag Not Working
Aug 4, 2009I installed cygwin with rsync on a Win XP Machine. My goal is to backup a folder from one hard drive to another (both on XP machine).
I run the following command from a batch file:
Works fine except the --delete flag is not working. Copies everything in source to destination, but doesn't delete some extra files that are present on the destination, but aren't on the source, which it's supposed to. I looked at the rsync man page, and I'm doing everything right... such as not using wildcard.
The same command works perfect on another computer (XP machine; source and dest both on XP machine).

General :: Best Way To Test A Distro?
Jun 25, 2010What 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.

General :: Test An Rpm By Doing A Yum Install?
Jun 16, 2010I 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.

General :: Find Directory Older Than X And Mv Directory With Sub Files Command?
Jul 13, 2011I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively
