how to pass something 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
[code]....
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.
I'm not sure what to make of this. I have setup an Ubuntu 10.10 server with two software raids.md0 is a four disk raid5 - 3TBmd1 is a two disk mirror - 300GBI think I have a drive failing (and am going to replace it regardless, but I have to take an outage), what appears to happen is it comes on-line with one id (/dev/sda) then something happens AFTER the rebuild completes and the drive changes to another id (in this case /dev/sdh) and puts the array in a failed state.Is this some sort of protection mechanism to prevent degradation to the array? When setting this up, presumably before the disk started to fail, Ids seemed to jump from reboot to reboot and caused me all kinds of issues.Also, neither device appears to return info after the change.

i have 2 hard drives with originally Win XP on one of them, and i thought it would be cool to have one with WinXP and the other one with Linux.so i choose Ubuntu. i just wished someone would have told me how Pro you really have to be for Linux.and that its totally not what i was looking for,...and apparently im a total Noob.so i Installed it, wasnt that hard, and first i thought what a cool OS ill keep it!than i tried Booting my Old OS *WinXP* from the other Harddisk (worked perfectly until than)/so Basically Ubuntu ****** up my WinXP because now i get the NTLDR Missing Error trying to start WinXP, that never happend before with that Pc.
i tought great now i have to reinstall Xp, but it came much worse,...i boot from the XP cd, and cant use the "normal" install funktion, because some errors say that i cant use the Partitions etc (no idea) up to cd reading errors,...so i wanted to try the Windows Repair console and easy Format C and D to get rid of Linux and reinstall a clean WinXP/
which OFC needs a stupid Admin Password, which i honestly NEVER have choosen.(i have no idea what the admin PW could be).than i made the big mistake of all, and tried to learn to Format anything with Linux,...20 stupid "tutorials" Later i still couldnt make it because im not that good with English and Linux,.
and all that programming speech, fdisk etc really is to complicated for me,...(i spent 1 hour finding where to enter the any command, because all tutorials ofc know that you ofc need the Terminal application,....half of the "how Tos: and Tutorials simply dont work because he doesnt know the Commands im entering probably Wrong, and and the other half is way to complicated for me to understand and requires knowledge i simply dont haveholy mother of god, i can tell you i never missed Windows so much,... right click, format done,... (again im not that good with Pcs)trying to get a windows admin pw is even more complicated than simply formating,... i guess.so now after aproxx 5 hours of trying to Format a hard drive under Linux i give up and came to you.
what i would need is simply a totally Idiotproove Manual to format Everything!

Code: cmd='date | wc'
$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 installed the Berkeley DB on the Ubuntu server and tried to access the dbxml from the command line and it returns command not found

Can someone point me in the right direction
I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?

I have a ubuntu sever with a raid1 data drive formated in native linux ext3. I have searched for answers to my question but most likely I'm not asking it correctly. I want to use the data drive to store backups of files from various ubuntu and windows machines. Do I need to reformat the drive as ntfs to enable windows use or can it remain as ext3? For that matter can I reformat as ext4 as a soultion? Again, I wish to use the data drive as a backup storage.

The system Lenny 2.6.31 i386 can't detect the 5.25 drive. Drive select seems not to be responding on the 5.25 drive. When connecting a 3 1/2 in. drive to the same motherboard connector (after changing the BIOS setting appropriately), r/w is ok under both linux and XP.

Upgraded from 0061 to 0089 bios versions. Is this a possible connector difference between 3.5 and 5.25 drives on the drive select line? The cable drive end connectors are different between the two drives.

How can we do everything, or as much as we can do, from the command line? In particular, I am trying to get rid of the top panel in Ubuntu. Because,

2) Even if I use a huge monitor, it introduces distraction to me while working.
I created a shortcut so that with a single keyboard key I can open a terminal. For example, if I want to restart the computer, I use: "sudo shutdown -r now". Or I can even create a shorter alias.

About two months ago I upgraded my dual boot Linux-x86-64 Vista from Heron to 10.04 Lucid. Initially everything worked fine including wireless etc. Once I accidentally changed a few /etc permissions which caused a problem, but fixed it going into recovery mode. For the past weeks, I only used the windows. Over the weekend I tried logging into Ubuntu, the gnome would not come up. So, I went into recovery mode and typed "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which also went through. However, after that I lost the recovery options. I had used that command very successfully in the past. Right now, I have no command line that would allow me to type something. I was wondering if there are any keys Alt+Del + something that would give me a prompt I can work with. I'm totally baffled as to how this can happen.
