Feb 19, 2010I am having some weird problems with calling commands stored in a variable (I need to do this to assemble a command with a bunch of parameters automatically and then execute it).Example code that will replicate the weirdness:
$ echo "hello world" > "test file.txt"
$ cat "test file.txt"
hello world
[code]....
I would expect the output to be:
hello world
What happens to the quotes? I have tried various combinations of single quotes, escaped quotes, etc, but it seems like quotes in a variable are not evaluated as quotes when that variable is executed.
Programming :: Bash - Calling A Specific Variable Based On User Input?
May 3, 2011I'm trying to call a specific variable based on a user selection. For example:
Code: Select a file:
[1] foo.tar
[2] bar.tar
Enter a selection: I have already coded each possible selection to have its own variable. If the user selects 2 I need to select $SELECTED_TAR2, or if they select 1 I need to select $SELECTED_TAR1 and then do something like this behind the scenes:
Code: cp /home/user/$SELECTED_TAR2 /home/user/backup/$SELECTED_TAR2
I was thinking something like this:
Code: echo "Enter a selection: "
read -e SELECTED_NUMBER
cp /home/user/$SELECTED_TAR$SELECTED_NUMBER /home/user/backup

Software :: Bash Script Calling Make Files With CFLAGS Prepended?
Feb 6, 2010Most all of this works when I execute it manually, but I cannot figure out how to get a bash script to execute it automatically.In this particular case, I am trying to build the xorg utilities.

OpenSUSE :: Firefox Calling Cervisia As File Manager?
Mar 1, 2010I am experiencing some weirdo problem since some time. I don't use this machine often, so I cannot trace since when the problem is there. Problem: In Firefox. Description: When a download is completed, it shows up in Downloads window. When I ask "open containing folder", it will:
-first display a warning: "This is not a CVS folder. If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror." -will open Cervisia.And how do I perform this "switch view modes" within Konqueror? I looked into Yast, and there is no way of removing cervisia, as it does not show up (but cervisia-kde4 does show up in the list, but it is not installed). I have no use of Cervisia, by the way.
I am on KDE 3.5, on openSUSE 11.1 x64. Firefox 3.6. I do have an install of KDE4 on this machine, but never use it. I followed the advice in here. First I had Nautilus as a file manager in Firefox, then some unknown one, then (following these advices) a very minimalist thing. But I still have this Cervisia critter. The problem is likely related to KDE/Konqueror, since I tried in Gnome, and it gave me no problem (it opened Nautilus instead of Cervisia).

Jun 6, 2011I am using LibreOffice under Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP, and trying to record some macros. I can find no documentation with for recording macros. There are some forum threads of individuals, but the replies all recommend external programs. LibreOffice has its own macro recorder, doesn't it? It is on the Tools menu, as in previous versions of OpenOffice, but "record macro" is blanked out. Is this because LibreOffice 3 can't do macros? I have no idea why an external program should be needed.

OpenSUSE :: Can't Seem To Get Xorg-macros 1.6.0 To Install?
Feb 18, 2010I am trying to use the 'autoconf' command and I keep getting an error message saying I need to have xorg-macros 1.3 or later. I have downloaded both 1.4 and 1.6.0 and tried to install them. Apparently all to no avail, because when I run the autoconf script it comes back as saying I only have 1.2.2 installed. Where do I start looking to figure out what I am screwing up?When I run the configure script in the util-macros-1.6.0 it seems to run right. Then I run make and it says "nothing to do for 'all'". Then I run 'make install' and it seems to run that but apparently it isn't getting installed.
Here is the output of ./configure;make;make install

Server :: Syslog-NG Macros - Make The Log Files ?
Mar 18, 2010I am currently using Syslog-NG to make the log files in the format of: $R_YEAR$R_MONTH$R_DAY$R_HOUR and I need to be a little more granular.
I am wondering if there is a way to to divide the hour by 12, making a new log file every 5 minutes. We have been using LogRotate, but when Syslog-NG is restarted we have some data loss. Is this possible? Another solution I can think of would be to add $R_MINUTE (or whatever it is) and run a cron job every 5 minutes to concatenate the files.
OpenSUSE :: 11.2 - Macros Opening Separate Buffers / Windows
Feb 8, 2010I switched from 11.1 to 11.2 last month. I'm now having a smoother experience with openSUSE, with some exceptions.
One is Emacs.
A rather annoying "feature" that has appeared is the following: When editing a LaTeX file, compiling it (C-c C-c, using AucTeX macros) makes the Emacs window become shorter by one line. The same happens if I switch to some other buffer. It does not happen if I switch back to the LaTeX buffer. So, after just a few editing/compiling/checking errors sequences I find the original window half of its initial size...
A similar problem occurs when editing IDLWAVE scripts (it's a proprietary scientific data analysis language widely used in my field, but still has its Emacs macros), but only if I open an interactive IDL-shell to run the script.
So, I imagine it's not a problem related to AucTeX, although it might be related to the macros opening separate buffers/windows (e.g.: error messages) associated with the current buffer. Also, the problem does not go away if I remove my own .emacs customization files. Checking the Emacs bug lists, it seems that there are some bugs related to window resizing, although I have not been able to find exactly the same problem I am having. But, before reporting this one, I'd like to hear from fellow Emacs/openSUSE users. Just in case I'm messing things up somehow.
Currently using: Emacs v 23.1.1

Software :: Openoffice Calc Not Running MS Excel Macros

I transfer that file to a Mandriva 2010 machine and I load the file with OpenOffice Calc 3.2.0 and it runs the macros properly. I transfer the file to a Fedora 13 machine and I load the file with OpenOffice Calc 3.2.0 but it doesn't run the macros. I set "Tools/Options/Security - Macro Security" to Low in both cases.I am very new to OpenOffice - is there any other setting of which I am not aware?

This is libtool 2.2.6b Debian Debian-2.2.6b-2, but the definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.10. You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2 and run autoconf again.It appears that I have a newer version of libtools than is needed. How do I recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from an older libtool version, specifically 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2? Or is the problem with LT_INIT?

Aug 24, 2010I have been able to use bash to initiate a google seache via firefox. I would like to either copy the source page to a file via wget or send firefox short cuts to the other terminal's firefox search page to put the html file in a directory. I seem to remember but maybe incorrectly that there exist hexadecimal codes for each keyboard shortcut in firefox. Maybe these could be echo-ed from bash to the firefox search page.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Firefox, Bash, And System Monitor Freeze Simultaneously?
Feb 10, 2010I have been having a freaky experience where Firefox appears to freeze up and brings down the terminal and any process viewer with it. For example, I can open a gnome-terminal or xterm window, but the moment I press a key, that window freezes up as well and must be force-quitted with the Force Quit panel applet. In addition, the System Monitor applet I have on my top panel freezes. It's really weird.
I began having this problem around a month or two ago. I thought it was something to do with something I installed, so a week or so ago I did a clean install, backing up my documents, Firefox profile, and GNOME settings from the old installation but wiping everything else (I'd already ruled out the Firefox profile by renaming the folder and creating a new one from the profile manager). Yet the problem persists.
I'd be happy to post any output, but as bash (including Ctrl+Alt+F1 command line) freezes as well, it's a little hard to treat the problem when it happens. One more thing: I am on a university campus which uses 802.1x encryption on both wired and wireless connections; is it possible that that is causing the crashes?

Programming :: Bash Script - Sending Shortcuts To Firefox
Aug 26, 2010When I attempt to extract some webpages there are far too many jscript functions and html encodings. Hence, I can manually search the page, perform select all (^A), copy (^C) it, open a prepared file (^O), but cannot figure how to paste it (&V). I want to do this from a bash script. I know how to do the search. Now how do I send these shortcuts (especially ctrl-C) to Firefox. Once I have the page copied to the clipboard, I think I can figure out how to open a file and save the clipboard to a file using bash script on the Linux side. How do I send shortcuts to Firefox? Is this done with the hex equivalent of the keystrokes?

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.
