View 1 RepliesI wrote bash script that uses zenity and a choice to install various programs, tested it and it works, but only when I call it from terminal. I wanted to add it in gnome main menu. The script is /home/eee/zenity.sh. In accessories I added an entry with command:
Code:
/home/eee/zenity.sh
, but since there is no terminal it starts zenity, but it does not work. I have also tried
Code:
gksu gnome-terminal -x /home/eee/zenity.sh

I have a USB modem on a Debian install that I want to be able to use AT commands to diagnose, specifically for obtaining signal strength (RSSI). I know the command for this is AT+CSQ but I cannot seem to get the interface for issuing AT commands to work.
The modem is using /dev/ttyACM0 and when I try to use minicom, I type in AT commands and nothing is echoed to the screen (Yes, echo is turned on). Maybe I just don't know how to use minicom correctly.
I have setup lirc on my htpc and it works perfectly, but I am trying to use irexec to execute commands from my remote controller, and this does not work.
Basically, I loosely based my setup on this thread at the XBMC forums (starting at step 3 because lirc is configured and runs the Slackware way !): [URL]
The thread on XBMC's forum uses irexec and irxevent to execute commands. I am not 100% sure why irxevent is used but I am interested to know why and what it really does...
In the meantime my .lircrc file looks like:
Code:
# Start XBMC
begin
remote = harmony2
prog = irexec
[Code]....
but irxevent wouldnt start normally. My understanding is that irxevent uses the display of the parent owner (in my case root since it is called from rc.local) so I tried to start it as normal user and it worked.
So on top of my problem executing commands with irexec, I would like to know how to execute a process as a different user so I can have irxevent started as a normal user by the system at boot time?
i just want to know whether we can execute the commands in invisible mode in linux. i.e.the command we typed must be executed but should not be visible.is it possible.
if not,then how the password we are typing is not visible in linux,while creating or entering password for users.
For routine tasks i have to execute commands on machines running both winxp and linux. I usually do it via telnet. But the process is very manual as i have to authenticate for each machine then specify the command.
Is there any way that i could automate this job using a script or so?
I want to make a keyboard shortcut that runs the following command:
Code:
smplayer /tmp/Flash*
This is to play things as ..... videos etc. in smplayer using vdpau instead of the laggy flashplayer
The wildcard * works in terminals, but not in the command of the shortcut or in the Alt-F2 launcher... Could anyone point me to what I could write instead?
I want to use a desktop icon shortcut that essentially does this...
Is there a way I can do this? I don't really want to create an alias because I just want it to be an icon I double click to do all of this. But if I have to create an alias in which it does these ocmmands then I use the shortcut to terminal... then it types the alias that is fine also.
Note: I have made a thread similar to this before, but the title/contents were too botched to repair.I know that using C-r you can search for past bash commands containing a particular string, but how would you search for past bash commands matching a particular regular expressionIs there a keyboard shortcut for that or do you have to use a shell command?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to figure out how to automatically run terminal commands on login. For example, I want to run Firefox on login. When I run 'firefox' in terminal, it opens. This is what I tried:I went to System > Preference > Startup Applications and clicked on 'Add'. I gave it a name, typed 'firefox' into the command field and left the comment blank and added it to the list, making sure that the box was checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to run a few custom commands when booting: "xinput" to calibrate the touchscreen and a couple of "setkeycodes" to make special buttons responsive.
From within a session I need to do "sudo setkeycodes [etc]" - without root access there's a "couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" error message.
Ideally these commands would already be operational at the login screen, and without requiring entering a root password every time.
I've put the commands in an otherwise empty /etc/rc.local but this does nothing. Other posts mention bootscript.sh but I don't get how this is used; and the best way to do this seems to have changed between versions - so what's the proper Lucid way?
I added the following line in /etc/sudoers file
<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
after adding this if I run any command it is not asking for the password. Now I need to shutdown the remote machine with sudoers user.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had a server setup working perfectly for the last 2 years. Today we installed a newer version of postgresql and recompiled apache/php.
Postgresql will not start now.
"service postgresql start" = /var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize the cluster first. To initdb we need to be as user postgres.
"su - postgres" = "no file or directory"
In /etc/passwd = postgres:x:26:26:PostgreSQL Server:/var/lib/pgsql:/bin/bash
how i can login as postgres user and enter these commands?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus Eee PC with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Unity). The other day, I turned off the wireless using the keyboard shortcut to save battery life when I was somewhere without wireless, but now it's not turning back on. I tried restarting, I've done the keyboard shortcut several times, and it still just says "disconnected" for wireless and wired, even though there are several wireless networks around me right now. There aren't any options in Network Connections or Network Tools to turn on the wireless. Is there a way to manually turn it back on?

I have successfully done this with one computer (Dell Optiplex 755), but I can?t seem to get it to work with my servers (Dell PowerEdge R710). I am using Fedora 11. I have setup samba and pam and have successfully joined the network. Everything with winbind seems to be working properly and I can get all the user info, etc. When I log in with a local account, everything is fine. If I try to log in with an account from my domain through SSH, I see the message Code:/usr/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/apkelley/.XauthorityAfter that, nothing happens and it is as if I haven?t connected to anything. If I try to log into the actual server using the graphical interface, it starts logging me in, shows a blank screen for about a second, and then returns to the login screen as if nothing has happened.I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for how I might fix this problem or how to find out more information about the error.Here are my smb.conf and system-auth files:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to install Samba for file-sharing purposes on my home network, so I went ahead and installed the latest stable Samba release, but it doesn't respond to commands in terminal (i.e. sudo samba start, sudo samba stop, sudo samba restart, sudo samba /etc/init.d/samba restart...). My shared files are now viewable on other computers but completely unusable for file storage. Samba DID respond when I was using Samba4, but when I used Samba 4 I got this:
Code:
matthew@Server:~$ samba restart
Unknown parameter encountered: "max log size"
Ignoring unknown parameter "max log size"
Unknown parameter encountered: "syslog"
Ignoring unknown parameter "syslog"
Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend"
Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb backend"
Unknown parameter encountered: "unix password sync"
Ignoring unknown parameter "unix password sync" .....
So I either get a Samba that doesn't work at all (the current version), or a Samba that pretends to work but ignores all of my parameters, claiming that it doesn't recognize any of them. I searched through synaptic package manager to make sure I have every single code or management file that could possibly be helpful for using Samba.
