I installed postgres successfully but, when I press tab key, it does not autofill the available options.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a wiered tab-autofill behaviour when using the terminal on my laptop. the autofill wont work for applications when i have "sudo" or "gksu" in front of it. it does however work with pathways. on the other hand, when i connect to my laptop with ssh, it works like it should.

I have a first generation iPod Shuffle (yes, I know it's old) with 512 megabytes of space (feel free to laugh). I also have arch linux installed on my computer, with a music folder containing about 30 folders full of music. This totals to about 2 gigabytes of music.
What I want to do is: create a script that moves no more than 512 megabytes (it can be slightly under this amount, but NOT over) of random songs from my music folder (and it's subsequent artist/album folders) to a separate folder. I will then use gtkpod to move those random songs in the new folder to my iPod Shuffle.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm learning GTK , and would like to use Codeblocks, and/or KDEvelop, and compile my c files using that, but always get an error about gtk/gtk.h not found, but can't figure out how to add the commands... I normally type gcc -o Program1 main.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` That's a lot to type every time to compile.. Isn't there an easier way, in KDevelop, Monodevelop, and/or Codeblocks to make this step quicker, by adding some sort of I-/usr/include commands, or something?? thanks in advance, =). I looked online for some results, but didn't come across anything handy..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to administer a small group of ubuntu desktops in my classroom. I can use ssh to perform administrative tasks one at a time on each machine, but I want to automate these tasks through a small number of scripts. I am having trouble with running root commands through a script.
On other distros, I think I would simply ssh into the root account, and run the script. But as an ubuntu user, I have only ever used sudo, and folks at ubuntuforums are understandably hesitant to recommend logging in as root. Instead I am seeing suggestions to disable the password requirement for each specific command I want to run, which does not seem like best practice.
Should I enable the root account, give it a password, and ssh to the root account to run the scripts? To be specific, the scripts will do things like install updates, install programs, add or delete users, configure the desktop, etc.

I ran a perl script in background with nohup and disown to make sure my script runs even after the parent process is terminated.
Method 1: nohup
> nohup perl run.pl &
[1] 2080
Method 2: disown
> perl run.pl &
[2] 2448
> disown
In either method, the script process doesn't seem to connect to init process, when I checked using pstree command. I thought, the disown or nohup command detaches the process from its parent and attaches it to grand grand parent init process. And it disables SIGHUP signal to my script process. But the pstree command didn't show me what I expected. It still shows my script process attached to my current terminal process. I just don't understand the concept behind these two commands (nohup and disown). Is there any way, I can see the list of processes that are run by nohup or disown command?

I have a command which on the command line needs to look like this
rlam -if3 '!pvalue -H image1.jpg' > image2.jpg
Nevermind what rlam or pvalue do ... they are part of a program package I am using. The above command works on the command line, and also when written verbatim in a bash shell script.
My problem is: in the script I wish to replace image1.jpg with the content of a variable, e.g.
IM1=image1.jpg
How to I get the script to insert the value of $IM into the command when the pvalue part of it needs to be quoted?
