I found this script [URL].. Basically this is a shortcut for cd-ing my file system..
I can type "save nm" where "nm" is any short name for the directory, like "blog" or "blg" Then whenever I want to go to nm I'll just use 'cd nm'
But it is not working out for me, I get this error every time I enter save:
bash: save: command not found
bash: parse_git_branch: command not found
So How can I make this command work?

I am doing a Linux installation. I installed the system fine and am trying to change the vi /etc/hosts file. I have edited the file but am not sure how to save it. I have --INSERT-- showing at the bottom.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
I have added mkalias in my .bashrc file as I learnt here

my mediacenter is attached to an beamer with the optimal resolution of 1280*720 ubuntu 10.04 doesnt offer me this revolution (on my intel 915 graphis controller). this means i have to add this resolution to the possible resolutions. first i used cvt
Code:
cvt 1280 720 60
and got this result:
Quote:
# 1280x720 59.86 Hz (CVT 0.92M9) hsync: 44.77 kHz; pclk: 74.50 MHz
Modeline "1280x720_60.00" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync
then i added this to xrandr
Code:
xrandr --verbose --newmode "1280x720" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync
and
Code:
xrandr --verbose --addmode VGA1 1280x720
now i can select and use the new resolution - until next reboot. after an reboot 1280x720 is again not available. even if i work with sudo - the resolution isnt there....
I am having a lil headache with it.

I installed Windows XP Pro and RedHat Linux Enterprise 5 on my PC for my purpose. The PC is used by other family members too and they need only Windows OS for browsing. It is becoming problem for them to reboot after the PC enters into Linux by default. I am still learning Linux and I want to edit the /boot/grub.conf file to make Windows as default OS to boot. The following is the content of my grub.conf file (FYI):
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10

I have some japanese music files stored on a flash drive that the titles of which are in japanese originally. While in the flash drive, when I go to Properties -> Audio, the title is written in japanese. It does not allow me to edit the file, no matter what permissions I have on it, therefore I can't change the name to english. So, I tried Rhythmbox instead, and transfered the file there. I could change the name, however there is STILL a huge problem.
I have around 300 japanese music files, all of which have to be renamed into english.
I did all this for all of them in Rhythmbox, and clicked "quit" when I was done. When I came back to transfer the files to my MP3 player like usual, I opened Rhythmbox, and...
ALL OF THE FILES WERE STILL IN JAPANESE! It didn't save any of the work I did on editing them. But, I calmed down and thought "oh, you can save playlists! I am sure that if I save them on one, it will keep the edits!" I did this, and it saved nothing. It took me 2 hours to finish the renaming, just to find out that it can't save information edits at all.
I am trying to figure out a way to make my own cd script.. i thought that prompting the user to type in her destination then saving that input to PATH system variable will get it done! but it does'nt work here what i made (i think it's not that smart!)

net share add Music=/home/joeblow/Music -C testing -M 1 -S joeblow-desktop -Ujoeblow%joeblowpass
which results in this error:
NetShareAdd failed with: Access is denied
I've also tried deleting an existing share using the following command:
net rpc share delete documents -S joeblow-desktop -Ujoeblow%joeblowpass
which results in the error code (5) and no error message. Note, I'm logged in as joeblow the user and I'm attempting to create create/delete shares in joeblows HOME directory. Also, I can create and delete shares from joeblows desktop via "Places->Home Folder->..." method and I can access these shares remotely.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Anyway to get Ubuntu to recognize it as installed?

In Windows, you've got letters for different drives, like c: d: and so on. I understand my external HDD is /dev/sdb1/ in Ubuntu (9.1). My local place is just called "/" in Filezilla,I guess this refers to my root.It shows different folders, like bin, boot, cdrom, dev etc. When I try to type in /dev/sdb1/ here, I just get an error saying it does'n exist, or cannot be accessed.

Totem didn't play .avi movies by default after my new CentOS 5.3 install. In my effort to find a way to fix it I learned in another forum that installing VLC allows almost all video formats to be played. So I added RPMForge to my repository group then I found and installed VLC with no problem.
Now that VLC is installed and I've had a chance to use it, I've learned that it fails to save my brightness setting between launches. This is very frustrating because the default brightness is always too dark, which means I have to go to the controls and reset it every time I launch the software. Does anyone here know how I can save my brightness setting between launches?

A cluster with a head node and compute nodes. An application with a couple of env variables (App_HOME, PATH) set in .profile (default shell sh). If I login to the head node/compute nodes on a terminal everything works fine. The correct env variables are set and the application works. However, when my application tries to do it, say ssh <compute node1> <application>, it appears the environment variables are not available. It only looks in the minimal /bin, /usr/bin type PATH. This tells that the .profile is not being read
