I am writing an installation script that installs several packages using apt-get. Is there a way to run that command with some sort of option that makes it so the user doesn't have to type Y to confirm the installation? The user needs to be run the script as sudo

I've been having problems whenever I'm asked for my password inside the Terminal. The most recent one happens when I type this

I'm trying to write a small script that will run as root, but launch a command with sudo as another user. I want that user to be whichever user is active user. That is, the user that is using GDM right now, or the one that is logged into the current console. (by current console, I don't mean the user running the script, but rather the user logged into the console currently displayed on the screen.)How can this be done?
Code:
ACTIVE_USER=`somecommand`
test `id -u pulse` -ge 1000 && sudo -u $ACTIVE_USER $*
What can I use for "somecommand"?
i want to set permission type "write" on a file to a particular user in a group of users ( not all users in that group). chown is changing a user to root , but i want to set say permission of "write" only to a user 1 in group staff which contains 10 users 1 , user 2 ...user 10.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a vm in VMPlayer 3.0. My correct user password is required to log in. When I use the sudo command or enter an area that requires my password, the password box pops up as it should.
The problem is:
If I enter my actual password, it is not accepted.
But if I enter nothing, as in just hit enter, it works. It shouldn't.
That seems just a little backwards and I don't get it. I've re-installed the vm and still have the same problem.
I can't boot Ubuntu 9.10 on this computer (on my other computer it works fine). When I try to run it from the CD or USB I see a screen full of colored lines, and when I try to use safe graphics I get to the shell but the whole screen is blinking and I can't type any command. Anyone knows how to solve it? My graphics card is GeForce 7300 LE and on my other computer (the one that can run Ubuntu find) has an on-board graphics card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy work has switched to Fuji Xerox printers, which up to today I've been able to print to simply by sending a PostScript file to their IP addresses. But as of today printing requires a login. Here are the (Windows) instructions:
"Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes>R-Click on the printer>Properties>Configuration>Accounting>Change the dropdown box �Use Login Name� to �Enter owner name�>Type in your staff ID number in the User ID box e.g. �e*******�>OK>Apply"

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and I deleted a few JPGs from the recycle bin. I googled looking for some methods of recovery, and discovered that the only ways to do so is through using the command line. I am a complete computer novice, and I know nothing about the command line, or how to use it. I was able to install Foremost. However, with this done, I couldn't manage to use it to recover anything from that point, partially because I only have 1 GB left on my computer space, and I can't delete anything or else it could overwrite the photos I want to recover.
This all boils down to two questions:
What needs to be done to complete and utilize foremost?
And lastly, and the more preferable option, can this be accomplished without the command line?

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem regarding VxWorks. Sometimes i am not able to type anything in the command prompt of vxWorks console.

I need to extract the absolute directory from the type command when I pass it a program name. E.g.
Code:
>type cat
cat is hashed (/bin/cat)
There is one other case (I believe):
Code:
>type lpr
lpr is /usr/bin/lpr
I thought of using regex, but it returns the whole line, not just the match. In addition, there is no option cited in the man page for type that returns just the command directory.
Note: this is part of my solution to a programming assignment in bash shell scripting.
To hide the user input to be displayed on screen, use the terminal line setting command stty -echo, whatever the user enters after this command will not be displayed in the screen. to make the input characters get displayed on the screen use stty echo.

View 9 Replies View Related1. I ordered an Opensuse 11.2 Live CD-Gnome 32-bit and an Install DVD 64-bit from a [URL].
2. My plan is to install Opensuse 11.2 from the Live CD on an old 32-bit Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop (512 mb Ram) and dual boot it w/ Windows XP.
3. And then to install the 64-bit Opensuse 11.2 on a newer 64-bit Acer Ax1200 desktop (4 gig ram).
4. Is there a way to confirm that I have the correct 32-bit Live CD and a 64-bit Install DVD?
5. I tried looking at the "properties" of the Opensuse Install DVD while in XP, w/out seeing any obvious signal identifying 32 vs 64 bit.
6. I have a hunch that if I accidentally try to install the 64-bit version on my old 32-bit laptop, it would be a disaster.
