View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to install a Ubuntu server and access the server remotely via a Ubuntu desktop environment instead of a SSH command line?
I will be installing a Ubuntu server in an office where the office manager will need to be able to do simple things like add/remove users, access filesystems, etc. She can handle these tasks in Ubuntu desktop/GUI, but it is impractical for her to have to learn how to use the CLI terminal to do this stuff.
Will I have to install desktop Ubuntu on the server to do this, or can I install Ubuntu server version and setup another computer Ubuntu desktop to remotely login graphically?
I thought about this a while ago when reading through a Python tutorial and I googled some and couldn't find an answer. Now I want to know it for Ruby, also, and it's more important now because I want to invoke Ruby with -w.
How can you use:
Code:
with a -w option to ruby, like:
Code:
This doesn't work and I can't find an explanation of how to do it.
Code:
I have an executable with input options, like so:
Code:
./executable -n 42 -s 42
I've added gcov to the makefiles (compiling with --coverage, -fprofile-arcs, and -ftest-coverage, and linking with -lgcov). It builds fine and creates executable.gcno.
When I try to run gcov, gcov things the options belong to it:
Code:
$ gcov ./executable -n 42 -s 42
gcov: invalid option -- 's'
Usage: gcov [OPTION]... SOURCEFILE...
When I use quotes this happens:
Code:
$ gcov './executable -n 42 -s 42'
executable -n 42 -s 42.gcno:cannot open graph file
The command line options must remain. How can I get gcov to generate the same .gcno file it later looks for?
I've just noticed something odd with 'su'. When you run 'su' with both the '-' (aka -l) and -c command options like this: "su -l user -c command" it doesn't appear to run /etc/profile before running the specified command even though the -l option is specified. If you run "su -l user" without the -c it does run /etc/profile.
Now, on other linux such as fedora it works as expected and runs both /etc/profile followed by the command specified on the '-c'. I'm fairly sure it used to work this way on Slackware (and every other UNIX I've ever used) too. "su -l root -c env" is a good way to see, as you'll find most the environment variables are missing.
Trying to mounts three cifs shares at boot up. I want to mount the shares under three different sub directories in the user's home directory:

I would like to use the environment variable HOME to dynamically build the mount point parameter. I've tried:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm aware that one can export make variables to other makefiles; however, how does one export them to the environment of $(shell)? Take the example below:
Code:
export TEST
VARIABLE=$(shell echo $$TEST)
.PHONY: all
all:
#$(VARIABLE)
In this example, I might call make TEST=test. The goal is for $TEST to be available to the environment of the shell escape. This is because I need its value in a script which is called. For example:
Code:
VARIABLE=$(shell i-need-TEST.sh)My current solution is the following:VARIABLE=$(shell export TEST="$(TEST)"; i-need-TEST.sh) but this only works if I know all if the variables needed at that point (as opposed to being able to export variables in included makefiles.) Is there an easy solution?

I know how to do "lpr -P Generic-CUPS-PDF-Printer filename" to get a general file printed to a PDF, but this method clearly is missing all of the nice formattingptions that get passed when using a GUI print spooler (margins, fonts, dpi, paper size, etc..). I tried to use ps to capture whatever command is being sent by the spooler but couldn't figure it out, since I'm not really sure what commands get called by the spooler

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to start the desktop enviorment from the command line.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed the latest version off the download site yesterday, when first booting an error message came up that my hardware does not support the most recent desktop environment so I should switch to classic. After a bit of googling I found out how to do this.
The problem is that my hardware really doesn't support the current desktop environmet, I can't get the windows to appear, I just get black rectangles in the middle of the screen instead, so the GUI is inaccessable.
I am looking for instructions on changing the desktop environment from a command line (which I can boot to).
so i have a few shell scripts that execute wonderfully when i type them at the command line but they fail when they are run from cron.
for example, if i run a script from command line that contains
Code:
shopt -s nullglob
to prevent problems with for f in *.mp4 type loops, it works fine from terminal command line but when called from cron, it gives an error->
Code:
/home/centralsqwall/Videos/videochecker.sh: 91: shopt: not found
a couple other random errors as well...
so there is some difference in the shell from cron and the terminal?
i'm running ubuntu 9.10, #!/bin/bash
what are the commands i should be using to echo my environment or simulate cron environment from the terminal?
(1) I'm wondering if there is a way to have abcde play the songs while it is encoding? I understand that this would be a lot slower.
(2) Is it possible to have abcde start playing right after it finishes ripping the first track and then have it add on the other tracks to the playlist as it rips them.
Is there anyway to do one or both of these from the command line or with abcde's built-in options?
I have a working fstab entry:
Quote:
/dev/sdc1 /media/sdc vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,s hortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush 0 0
But how do I mount the sdc drive with those options from the command-line without restarting? I've tried to do so with 'mount' utility, but had no luck.
I had chosen automatic logon. Then updated to 10.04. During logout to change Desktop Environment/Session, I noticed that GDM login screen had an option for KDE session although I had not installed KDE. I got curious. So I tried it. System hangs. Restart does not help because somehow gdm proceeds to the KDE session although I did not choose it to be default session. So I had only CLI left.
I got over it by stopping gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) and removing gdm and installing xdm. Anyway, what is the proper way? How to order desktop environment from CLI and/or where is the default desktop environment option written in a file?
I have read many articles by eminent Linux users who laugh off, when they are asked "is a command line knowledge necessary"?. They go on to say that Linux Distros have evolved so much that the GUI is sufficient! I use my Win.desktop for 1)checking the news, 2)checking my e-mail, 3)writing a blog, 4)Listening to music, and 5)since i am a consultant physician, with specialization in diabetology,keeping up with the trends by visiting a few professional websites! So, my needs are few!Which Distribution would you suggest to a completely Linux-ignorant person,and that's me!

$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
USAGE="
${0##*/} [-x] [-g]
code....
However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
ccess to an iso file in chroot environment from my usual root (/) env..
Within the chroot environment I have an iso file placed... In my program I need to access this iso file and perform mount and other operations.. But I cant do this in the chroot environment as I have only basic commands here (ls,cp etc.. and no mount)
So how can I access this iso file from my program ? Is there something like a file-descriptor which I can associate with the file exit from the chroot env and access the file via this fd ?
I'm trying to compile Ardour on jessie amd64 using the Debian source code (there's already an ardour package but I want to use different compile options). I've applied the Debian patches and have all the required dependencies installed.
Scons quits with a KeyError message from python2.7 saying that os.environ['DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS'] is not defined.
Checking with 'dpkg-archtecture -l' shows that DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux, but 'print os.environ["DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS"]' in python says that name 'os' is not defined. The scons script has 'import os' at the top so it should be seeing it.
How do I make this visible to python (I'm assuming this problem is specific to the jessie python2.7 installation and not python in general)?
