I have installed Open Suse 11.3, after giving up on Ubuntu when the latest version would not connect to the internet. In Ubuntu I could always open a terminal to carry out any command line task. In Suse I simply cannot even find one.
I need to find a terminal that I can run in Root in order to load some firmware for a different network adapter, as I am currently using one borrowed from another computer.
I'd like to find all files of a specific type (as determined by the terminal "file" command) from the command line ... and haven't been able to figure out a way to do so. For instance, I'd like to be able to find all JPEG files in my filesystem, even if their names don't end in .jp*. It would be helpful to be able to combine this with other tests in find, so that I could type something like "sudo find / -atime 0 -size +1M -type adobeflash" or something like that.
I've looked for ways to hook find up to file and tinkered around with a few ideas involving pipes, but nothing seems to get what I want.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wonder how CLI applications know the width of the terminal. For example, how does ls know how many columns to use?
How do package managers like pacman know what length to make the download progress bar?
Also, how do they redraw the progress bar in the same line?
Is there any way to find what is displaying in a terminal in C language?
I want to automate ssh login process, I know that I can use "expect" but I want to write another program in C myself.
In first ssh try to a host, ssh prints a message like this:
Quote:
The authenticity of host '192.168.30.1 (192.168.30.1)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is **** Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
and waits for an answer. I want to enter "yes" programatically when the message appears, but I don't know how to find if the message is appeared or not. In this case problem can be solved in another way, deleting the entry of the host from ~/.ssh/known_hosts before executing the ssh command, sleeping for one or two second and entering yes. Same problem exist for password prompt and this can be solved by sleeping, too.
But it is not a general solution and can be failed if prompts appear after entering required keys.
I just decided I'd give Google Chrome a try. Installed it via the google repository and it went fine.
However, every now and then it just vanishes from my menu and it can't be found again, also the command in the terminal can't find anything.
So, what's left is to reinstall it, and during reinstall it doesn't even whine about already being installed.
Anybody else with this matter? I am running 64-bit Squeeze.
I have found KRename to be very useful for bulk find and renames; however, I'd like to do a find a copy, which KRename doesn't appear to do.
For example, I'd like to (case insensitively) search all subdirectories for files called "cover.jpg", "cover.gif", or "cover.png" and create a copy of these called "thumb.xxx", in the same subdirectory the original is found, with the same extension as the original.
I like to do a lot of my tasks through the command line, and was wondering, is there a way to see all the wireless networks available in the terminal? I tried 'iwlist scan', and it said all the interfaces do not support scanning. Is there anything I can do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 12 on a new machine (Intel Core i3) and one of my terminal-based programs won't run because it can't find libtermcap. The specific error is
Quote:
error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I seem to have this problem every other time I install a new Fedora. I tried a few things with old libtermcap files from other machines, and I tried looking around the YUM repository, but nothing seemed to work.
What's the proper way to get the libtermcap libraries for a Fedora 12 machine on an iCore i3?
yesterday I tried to convert a file with ffmpeg and as usual I type the first letter of the file and hit tab to auto complete and nothing happened, I then cut and pasted the file name, no such file or directory I have 41 files in ~/videos and if I hit tab without choosing anything gnome terminal gives me the choice of just 1 file, ok just tried it again first time only 1 file second time 4 different files 1st file can't be found. I can't do anything from the command line, is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour ?
Edit: I just installed aterm and gnome terminal found some more files and now can't find them again, aterm seems to be removing the first 4 letters and replacing them with spaces

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince I see on my Centos 5 system, when using the Gnome Terminal, there is no 'Find' feature, do I use grep to search the output on Gnome Terminal?
I see grep syntax is:grep search-term file
But what do I use as the 'file' when what I want to search is the contents of the gnome terminal screen?If there is a good terminal program that does have a 'find' feature, let me know.
i just jumped into linux with both feet not having a clue what im doing.. loaded ubuntu 10.10.. liked it but i couldnt get stellarium to work with my ati x1300, so i upgraded to 11.4 and it works fine.. problem is.. i have a applications start on the left side, but i cant seem to find the setup like in 10.10 at the top, where you can go to terminal, admin, synaptic, etc.. the only way i found synaptic was trying to download it and asked me if i wanted to keep it in the bar, so now its on the left, but cant find anything else.. ive been trying to find it on the net but 11.4 seems to be so new that there arent very many faqs or tutorials about it..it would be nice if i can get that stuff back without having to format and reinstall 10.10.. im not going back to windows.. so i might as well figure this out..

I was messing around with fed 12 yesterday (only on a test installation) and i've hit a snag. I installed openbox and tint2, nitrogen, obconf etc so i could have a #!-style session at startup. It all worked fine until i installed pcmanfm and removed nautilus. The problem is that i can't display files in my home directory, either using pcmanfm, a reinstalled nautilus, or in terminals. Every time i try to point a file brower there it just seems to get stuck searching forever, until i kill it. Weirdly in terminator i can do an 'ls' to see visible files, but 'ls -la' causes the problem again.
ps i thought permissions might have something to do with it, so i did a 'chmod -R 777' as root. it changed permissions for quite a lot of the files but then froze again, and now the problem persists.
I would like to determine what computers are currently connected to my access point/router via the command line in Linux.

It keeps shrinking everytime I try to expand it a bit, I had to edit > select all and copy to be able to read it. And it sounds like it's trying to play a sound that sounds like welcome, but it gets cut off, it also makes a sound when closing it. I'm assuming this was supposed to be a first time run thing for gnome but it keeps showing up in kde.
I am using OpenSuSe 11.3 and Xfce. When i start my Xfce session, in left down corner I can see useful terminal with logs. Propably it is /var/log/message or something. When I use Remote Administration (VNC) this terminal is missing.

2. How to start it under VNC session?
