I am creating an script with Xdialog.The checklist option is confusing me a litte. Can someone tell me how to save the checklist states so they can be used in a script? As an example:
Code:
Xdialog --checklist "Choose toppings:" 10 40 3
1 Cheese on
2 "Tomato Sauce" on
3 Anchovies off
I would then like to put these values through if/else statements to perform different things with respect to the user selection.
I cannot seem to get if else statements to work. if $choice == Dog then i want it to say "you selected Dog" The variable choice has the value Dog in it as proved at the end by echo "yes $choice is $choice" following the error Code: ./test.sh: 37: [$choice: not found How do i get the conditional statement to work? What's wrong here? This is the full script:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
: ${DIALOG=dialog}
: ${DIALOG_OK=0}
[code]....
How can I change the behavior of the selection buffer or a program that uses it ( I have xclip) to not send me text until the mouse button is released while clicking and dragging? This causes havok in the software I'm developing that tries to make use of the selection buffer. I need the full selection, not bits more bits more bits and then the full selection.EDIT: I cannot listen for mouse events such as button release outside of the GUI of my program.

Menu:
[ ] option 1
[x] option 2

I am trying to create an array that will allow me to print a list after selection such as:
1) Location A
2) Location B
3) Location C
Would you like to print selected locations? Print I have no idea how to approach this problem and don't know whether Perl, Bash or shell script would be the most useful in this particular situation.

What is the minimum possible MySQL query to get a random data selection that includes each Index number only once and ordered ascending. The maximum index number is known. For example running the query should get the following data: 01, 06, 07, 02. Running the query again, you may get the same data or another possible combination like: 01, 05, 07, 04. Of course you could run a loop for 1 to max_index and process a random ordered data selection until the next index number is found. But I think this will result in too many database access. Also you could run max_index queries to get all IDs that correspond to the given index and randomly select one ID for each index.
I'm trying to use buildroot to cross compile some libraries for me. To do so I've set up build root to point to my working tool chain in the menuconfig.All seems fine however when I try to make (buildroot) I get the following error
rm -rf /root/buildroot-2010.05/output/build/buildroot-config
mkdir -p /root/buildroot-2010.05/output/build
cp -dpRf package/config/buildroot-config /root/buildroot-2010.05/output/build/buildroot-config
Checking external toolchain settings
Incorrect selection of the C library
make: *** [/root/buildroot-2010.05/output/stamps/ext-toolchain-installed] Error 255
I know it's pointing to the correct files and gcc as any wrong paths are reported in make menuconfig.

From inside my bash script, is there a way to increase my Xdialog default font size? If not, is there any other way to do it? I found a commercial program using Xdialog with instructions on increasing the font size, but they did not say how they did it. But, it does mean it can be done:[URL]...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had Xdialog installed on a Jaunty machine. According to Synaptic, it comes from the section "Miscellaneous - Graphical (Universe)". I did a fresh installation of Lucid 10.04. But, Synaptic doesn't find Xdialog. I tried downloading the RPM build from the website, but alien seems unable to correctly convert it. I know that we're "supposed" to use zenity, but zenity doesn't have some of the features that I need.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a HP laptop, and recently I configured the Remote Control to control the sound, and make a funny joke when a curious friend press the Power button in the remote control. To make this work, I want to make a shell script that calls a dialog, not a console dialog, but a GTK dialog. Then I tried to install the package "xdialog", that is no longer present on the official repositories, and I tried to find a similar package, but no success. What comes closest is "dialog", but this shows only a console dialog.

I am new to linux scripting, but I have programming experience. I need to save the UUID for /dev/sda1 as a variable, lets call it id. I am sure there is a way to do this with the awk and blkid commands, but I do not know any of this well enough yet to figure it out and after a couple of hours of reading I am still lost as to exactly how I would put this together. I need to save the uuid as a variable so that I can run an if statement with it
if [ -f /media/$id/file ]
then
echo "copy successful"
else
echo "oh crap!"
honestly all I need the uuid for but I cant check this by doing the same if with /dev/sda1/file so I need to be able to save the uuid into a variable

Browsing some websites I've found a code for online form where a user provides name, number, etc. Everything is created in html/javascript. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to collect this input and present it in a database form so that I'd be able to see who's provided data and all the details they entered.Actually, it doesn't have to be a proper database (it would probably require php/mysql). It could be a weekly/monthly report (a text file) of people who provided details. The website is hosted by a third party company.This is an html bit:
