View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Re-map Touchpad Corners And Make It Permanent ( Even After System Restart )?
Feb 14, 2011just can't find the answer for this one (after Google and these forums) So I want to configure my Synaptics touchpad in this fashion:
Code:
synclient RTCornerButton=8 RBCornerButton=10 LTCornerButton=11 LBCornerButton=12 FastTaps=1 This line of code does what it's intended of it. However, the changes made don't really stick after a system reboot.I'll explain:
So, the "FastTaps" part works flawlessly (as intended). However, the corners bit doesn't work after system reboot!...and weird enough, if I set up a start up script with that bit of code on it it'll only remap the last two corners (LT and LB), because RT and RB always get automatically set to "2" and "3". It's obvious then that those corners are getting remaped somewhere I haven't found yet. I've already tried ppa:yurivkhan/ppa and adding new options to "usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf" to no avail either. how to make the remap of touchpad corners permanent? P.S. - I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Macbuntu.

Programming :: Bash Script - Make Sure All Files Have Certain Permissions
Jan 14, 2011How can I iterate over all the files in the current directory to check for certain permissions? This is what I have:
Code: #!/bin/bash
for file in *.tar.gz
do if [ -r "$file" ]
then echo "$file is readable"
else echo "$file is NOT readable"
fi done
But this only checks that the current user has read permissions for each file. I want to check that the group "others" has read permissions for each file. How can I do this? Is there a built in function to check if a file has read permissions for the "others" group? Otherwise, I thought I might be able to use this:
Code: $ stat --format=%a file
744 And parse the output "744" and make sure the 3rd number is between 4 and 7 (since the octals 4-7 have read permissions for others).
Programming :: Bash : How To Make Firefox Open But Minimize
May 3, 2011I am relatively new to scripting, but I was wanting to open a firefox window from a bash script, but have it open, then minimize. In the script, I have a single instance of: firefox & but is there a way to minimize it, versus have it displayed on the screen? I was wanting the command terminal to remain visible and it can't since the firefox window is open in front of it. I looked all over the place, including the man pages, but to no avail. I can make the height and width changes, but no minimize. Either that, or to be able to bring the terminal window back to the front automatically.

Programming :: Make A Flawless Bash Alarm Script
Jan 12, 2011I am not positive that this is the right subforum for this post. It is technically a programming question but I am not sure if this is the best place for bash scripting questions. Anyhow, I have been having trouble getting up in the morning. I am a pretty good morning person and once I am up, I am good to go. The problem is getting out of bed. Traditional alarms have just not cut it in the past; there is always an easy way to shut them off and go back to sleep.
Recentliesh, I decided to try to make an alarm script in bash that would be more successful in getting my lazy behind out of bed. I am a newbie bash scripter at best so my attempts have been very simple but have not cut it so far. Here are some examples:
[Code]....
The above script was the version of my bash alarm. It will not stop ringing until I input that ridiculous phrase. The big issue with this script was that I would input the phrase quickly and go back to sleep. It was however, much more successful than traditional alarm clocks. Another obvious pitfall was that even though control-c'ing the process would not work, the terminal could be closed and that would be the end of it. I'll get back to that issue. Here is my second attempt:

Programming :: Bash - Automatically Build A Set Of Packages And Redirect Output Into Logs - Failed Make Should Return A Non-zero Value
Jun 27, 2011I have a set of bash scripts that I'm running that automatically build a set of packages for me and redirect their output into logs. Basically, I have a bunch of lines that are something like this: ${CONFIGURE_DIR}/configure &> ${LOG_DIR}/log or cd ${CONFIGURE_DIR} && make &> ${LOG_DIR}/log, etc.
This is supposed to make the entire process silent. However, sometimes with some packages some output leaks to my console (either stdout or stderr). I'm thinking that maybe the configure scripts/make are executing commands within new shell instances that don't inherit my redirect, or something to that effect.
Another reason for thinking this is that in another part of my script I detect errors when running make by testing with "if [ $? -ne 0 ]", and if the redirect leaks to my console and also the leaked output indicates that the build failed ("make: Error" and so on), then my $? test fails (i.e., it thinks that $? == 0, whereas a failed make should return a non-zero value). It's as if my original script can't "see" the results from child commands executed from later scripts.
Ubuntu Installation :: System Automatically Tried To Restart But On The Restart Got The 'terminal' View
Apr 30, 2011I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.
Programming :: Assigning Bash Variable With The System Command In Awk?
Mar 1, 2011I am having all sorts of trouble trying to assign a variable within an awk script with the system command. I know there is a lot of ways around this problem, but for efficiency reasons, I would like to, within my awk script, do something like
system(x=3)
or
system(x=NR)
and, latter on the shell script which calls the awk script, use the variable $x. But nothing is passed to x. I have already tried things like
command = "x=3"
system(command)
and also used a pipeline within the system to pipe it to /bin/sh In fact tried a lot of stuff like that, using $(( )) etc etc etc I can create directories e write to files (yes, i could write to a file and read from there, but I dont think it is efficient, plus I am puzzled).
Ubuntu :: Make The Pc Start On Windows Auto, Without Prompting By Showing The Choose System Screen?

Of course i`m not stupid to do that after a month of seeing how Ubuntu is... I want to know if/how can I make the pc start on windows auto, without prompting by showing the choose system screen, and when i open boot menu (i don`t remember, but i think its F-eight) i have both choices, so I can keep Linux without him knowing.

Programming :: Perl About System Command / Fails If The Standard Shell Is Dash And Not Bash?
Jun 30, 2011I am trying to fix a perl script, and I really suck at perl. But I think this problem will be easy for people who know it.
The problem is, I have an old setup script someone wrote many years ago. It fails if the standard shell is dash and not bash. The only way I've gotten it to work is to point /bin/sh to bash. I looked thru the script and it uses "system" many places, and I think that's the problem.
I searched for it and found this link:url
My plan is to include this function:
Code:
sub system_bash {
my @args = ( "bash", "-c", shift );
system(@args);
}
Then I could simply change all calls to system into system_bash and it should work?
The parameter to the system calls is usually some variable. What if the parameter is a list already? Do I need to test for it somehow, and if it's a list, prepend "bash" and "-c" to the list? How do I do that?
In the script there are lots of places like this:
my $error = system($cmd);
if ($error) {
die/warn "some error message";
}
Shouldn't there be a return in the system_bash function?

Programming :: GNU Make - System Libraries And File Permissions
Jan 27, 2010I am trying to compile a C++ source file into a static library using make with root privileges (i.e., using "sudo"). However, I "sometimes" get the following compilation error:
Code:
g++ -Wall -g -fPIC -W -c /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.cc
ar -cvq libether.a /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.o
ar: /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [libether.a] Error 1
I checked /home/project/ether/src folder to see if packet-ethernet.o in fact does not exist, and saw that it is actually located there, but its owner is "root", which is different from the current user. If I change the owner of packet_ethernet.o from root to the current user using "chown" command and execute make again with sudo, everything seems to be fine.
It may be a coincidence that I recently migrated to 64-bit platform from 32-bit, and then installed libboost-filesystem1.40-dev. After that, I began to experience such errors. I have "never" come across such a compilation error before. Even though I completely removed libboost-filesystem1.40-dev afterwards to see if it causes the problem, nothing changed.
After migrating to 64-bit and installing libboost-filesystem1.40-dev, my application exhibited another "weird" behaviour such that it produced "hidden" files using mkdir() system call, which were previously created as regular ones on the filesystem. Can compiler options that I use cause such problems? Is it possible that libboost-filesystem1.40-dev overwrote some system libraries so that I am getting such errors ?
