I want to have an environment variable name (not value) containing ':', such as X:X=PQR. There seems to be no reason in principle why not. According to this:[URL].. the only printable character you can't have is '='. And indeed I can set and get such variables with a C program:
I am supposed to create an environment variable with the PRINTER variable, which should resolve to the word sales. Would the command be like this?: env PRINTER - NAME=SALES (is this the command to create that variable with resolving the word sales to it?)
I am running gentoo openbox(rox file manager and desktop) I installed Digikam and Amarok. But I have problems with files which include special character in their names(such as �,�, �,ğ... ) The files are shown with strange and weird characters in the file dialogs of Digikam and Amarok.
I don't have this problem in other applications. I can create files with special character included. I think some settings do not agree with KDE4. How can I solve this problem? Does anyone have an idea? I also installed KDE systemsettings program but could not find a relevant config option for character encoding.
How do you tell a shell script to search for the directory within another directory (in this case /lib/modules) whose characters in its name (in this case numbers) are highest? I want to be able to tell mkinitramfs in a script to be able to see the highest possible kernel version in the /lib/modules directory.
So... as I tried to connect to the internet i saw a load of garbled characters as names of wireless areas. I took pics w/ a camera (because I suck and don't know how to take screenshots) and I'll try to get them up. Its all nonsensical and is really making me concerned about the state of my computer. [URL] That link contains pics of my issue.
I created a chroot environment for lucid. when i log in by executing this command "sudo chroot /var/chroot/lucid" it logged me in as a root user. i created a new account there, when i log in by that account i cant see anything written before $ sign. even if i change directory or anything else i cant see anything.
How can I handle the situation below so that the "Fatal Error" message is not shown. It would be ideal if I could supply a default class to be used. I'd prefer to not use: ini_set() to supress the errors but actually be able to "handle" the error.
We're in the process of implementing an offsite backup of all our servers to a remote Linux server. We're using rsync over ssh.What I've found is that characters such as ±, ¶,´ and £ are replaced on the Linux server with underscores.I don't mind if it changes these characters in the filenames of documents, but when it renames a language pack from Espa±ol.clx to Espa_ol.clx, it could cause issues for us further down the line.
What do I need to do differently to make the special characters copy over correctly? For the initial sync which will take place locally, before the machine is moved offsite, I have SAMBA enabled. I am able to copy files from Windows to the Samba share, retaining the original filename, though it looks different in the Linux directory listing, i.e. t̻st becomes ĻstThese files get deleted by rsync when it runs, as it does not match the filenames.
I am doing a mysql query with a bash shell script like: mysql translator -u root --password=******** -e "SELECT word FROM tagalog ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1" | while read line; do echo $line
So when I echo the value of $line I get: word magandang umaga "word" is the name of the row in the table and maganda umaga is a randomly selected choice from the row. Is there a way i can remove the name of the row from the variable $line. With a result that will allow me to echo $line and output only the randomly selected entry in from the row e.g. magandang umaga
I am bad with bash programming and I need some help how I can make variable names out of a string.I will need some help start doing that. And I think the first would be to get part of the filenames strings into variables.
In my script, and I would like to concatenate 2 variables names, to give me the true variable.I've 3 variables X1, X2 and X3, and I invoked them inside a for loop.
I'm trying to add 2 new environment variables (Debian . I have created a "/etc/profile.d/java.sh" file and in it I have added these lines (and just for the record, I've also tried adding those line to the profile file with the same results as explained below).
The first variable "XAPPLRESDIR" is added just fine (I check by doing echo $XAPPLRESDIR). The second variable is not added. Here's what I discovered though, if I change the variable name to LD_LIBRARY_PATK (I change the word "path" into something else) then it works just fine... So how am I supposed to add this variable? I need it to be named just that...

I'm setting my CLASSPATH in /etc/profile.d/jre.sh. In a login shelleverything is fine. In an xterm window, the CLASSPATH consists of two of every intended entry.In jre.sh I am doing aCode:export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/many/paths/to/jarsSo I'm guessing this is getting run twice in the xterm case. Can someone explain what's going on here and what I should do to remedy this?
I'm trying to configure subclipse with JAVAHL for ganymede. I have everything installed and the right version of the JAVAHL.
I have seen that a lot of people uses java.library.path in the eclipse.ini file to set it up or just write a script for launching eclipse.
I have read about the .gnomerc file but i couldn't find it or create one and make it work. I'm using a 9.04 ubuntu.. is there anyway to configure an environment variable for gnome? What i want is just click on the shotcut and have it working, not having to run a script or all that stuff.
I just upgraded to 10.10, I use Tilda (terminal client) on my desktop but now when I type "clear" it says "TERM environment variable not set." instead of clearing the screen. Also commands like "tree" does not show folders and iles in color like they did before upgrading.
I have just installed Ubuntu onto my machine and my question is if it automatically comes with the PATH environment variable?If so, how do I add something such as python.exe to the PATH environment variable?
I am trying to create a launcher which runs virtual box from a custom config directory. For this I have to set an environment variable first then call VirtualBox command. From terminal it looks like:

In C, there's a global variable 'environ'. With the help of linux manual, I know it's defined in <unistd.h>. But the fowllowing program is also right without <unistd.h>:
When I put a "test" target in my Makefile containing Code: @echo "CXX= $(CXX)" it tells me "CXX= g++". But I have nothing in the Makefile assigning any value to CXX, and as far as I can tell I have no CXX environment variable (no "CXX" appears when I run the shell command "env", and "echo $CXX" returns a blank line. So where's the g++ value coming from. Is this just built into Gnu Make, or is there a configuration file for make somewhere?
I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
I am happy to say that after almost a week of wandering around the INTERNET and posting desperate questions to our Ubuntu forums on how to set paths etc., I have finally begun to understand just how environment variables and path setting works. I must say, it wasn't all reading this or that, but rather making changes to my paths that helped me to understand. Anyway, if anyone who does not understand environment variables is reading this, then I recommend reading this

OK- I have 1 last question for my fellow linux users. Lets say I opened up $HOME /.profile and did some editing, and later decided to undo all of my changes but I forgot exactly what changes I made so now I want to set the default in there. How would I accomplish this? How do I set the defaults for any ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc type of files that I change.
