Ubuntu :: Run-parts Not Working?
Jun 13, 2010
I have a very dumb questions regarding run-parts utility. I've created few shell scripts, chmod them to be executable, placed them into one particular directory and tried to run them using run-parts utility like this
run-parts dir_name However it doesn't seem to be working or I might just be missing out something. I have even tried different options like --test or --list - NONE of them produced any output. If I run each of the script manually they all work just fine. Is this is a known bug or somethng ?? or am I really missing out something...how are the /etc/crontab entries then being executed when the run-parts doesn't seem to be working on such a simple case ? ps: I noticed one interesting thing though...when I run run-parts like this: run-parts --list --regex 'some_regexp_patern' dir_name -> the output actually produces a list of the files whose file names match the given regexp pattern .

Suppose that I have this text :
1 abc
2 def
3 ghi
4 klm
Now I want to copy(yank) only the parts:
ab from line one and hi from line three at the same time
So how can this be done with vim? I know how to copy one line and one part of a line. What I want to do is to copy two parts from 2 different lines at the same time and paste them as they are some where else in the file.

I am completely new to Ubuntu so please make your answers really simple ! I want to set up a mail server for a home network and have been suggested I use the Ubuntu solutions. I am fairly proficient with Windows programs and even construct databases but I am a complete novice when it comes to command line instructions. Yes, I know I have been spoon fed!
I have been told that it is possible to install Server programs from the Desktop version and that they provide a GUI in most cases. Is that so? I have the desktop version running and up to date but I am unsure what to do next. Starting the Server ISO CD from Desktop seemed logical but when I did I was not sure if it was correct and backed out. I have also read a thread on this forum that suggests the use of Zimbra as a Mail Server, it sounded like my kind of solution so I think I would like to try that.
One last factor. I have an existing P2P network (2 Vista, 1 Mac Book and this Ub' desktop/server) running already which uses the Router for DNS. I suspect I am going to have to do things in a certain order if I am not going to go backwards and ruin the families email and surfing!

I'm using Epson TX110 printer at the moment, it contains both scanner and printer.
I've installed Epson TX109 driver on Ubuntu, and it prints fine.
The problem is, how do I get the scanner to work? In the previous Windows, there's a program that allows you to scan and edit files, can I do it here too?

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS: It appears that run-parts does not run scripts with a period in the name. I had a script upg.sh which run-parts did not recognise; when I changed it to upg it did. This is surely a bug!

So I have Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, and I'm having strange problems with parts of windows staying up on screen after I close them. Check the attached files to see what I mean. I have Visual Effects turned off, and I've tried removing compiz altogether, but I still see this happen every once in a while.

Could someone help me find a way to rename a file to a different name containing parts of its old name?
For example:
Original file name: filename1.abc.xyz.some.other.stuff
Final file name: filename1.abc.xyz
The length of the file name is not constant. the abc.xyz is not constant but that format is (three numbers.three numbers) the .some.other.stuff is not constant and its what i want to get rid of

Without a long tale; suffice it to say I had to do a clean install when I upgraded to 10.10 version. I have messed up evolution e-mail and my document viewer settings. I have what I need as far as by ISP settings but the Evolution folders; well that is messed up. What I am looking for if it is out there would be links {read directions to} tutorials for Evolution and Gnome. Everything comes into the unmatched folder on evolution so I think I need to find where to read up on 'Folder rules and permissions'. The document view just is not working so I know I need to read up on that; I think it is part of Gnome but I'm not positive.

I am having a big /home partition. I need to make it small and create one more partition from it which will be used for some other purpose. Can you tell me please how to do it?
I searched on google and found some methods which were very different from each other.I don't know which one is good, so, I thought I will ask you experts before doing anything.

I just got my new version of Debian, and under System>Preferences, near the top of the list, there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager. But it's not there. I've tried apt-getting compiz, but it says I have the latest version out there. So I don't know what to do next.

In Thunderbird, when composing a reply to an email that you have quoted, is there a way to cut only part of the quoted material? A typical situation is that you have exchanged a series of emails with someone and your reply has all the old emails from your and the otherperson quoted in it. The quotes are nested inside each other. Often I'd like to chop off all the very old messages and just leave the last few. But the Thunderbird editor seems to make it an all-or-nothing proposition. I can cut the whole quote, but can't highlight a few nested parts and cut them.

Is there a way to enable the top parts and the borders of windows in openSUSE to be partially transparent? If so, I'd be grateful if someone told me how. Like in this image, the top part where it says "Mozilla Firefox" and the border of that window are all partially transparent (yes, I know that's Windows, lol). I'm running 11.4 KDE.[URL]..

On my c shell, I use the alias p ls -lt; pwd to speed up things while switching directories and getting their listings.Things could be much easier if I could somehow divide the space I have on my console in two parts such that the prompt is in the lower part and the top part always shows the listing of the current directory (the directory which I am using in the second part).The upper part needs to be dynamic in the sense that whenever I switch directories using the prompt in the lower part, It should give the listing of the current directory in the upper half.

I used awk and cut command but still I did not get the output I want...
I have 6 columns in the file, and the 6th column is too long. what I want is to print all columns form 1-5 and a part of 6th column.
Example: aa bb cc dd ee ff33ff
from the above example I want only to get the 1-5 columns and the numbers from 6th column so the output shoud be as:
aa bb cc dd ee 33

how I could see the whole article which is in there on a single web-page rather than in parts as its structured now? Maybe your google fu is better than me.

I've been trying to purge my system from packages I don't normally use, like Epiphany and Evolution, and I think I have been somewhat successful but I'm still struggling with GNOME when trying to keep the gnome-applets package and the system forces the installation of the evolution-data-server-common and libedataserverui1.2-8 packages.What is the role of this packages? Are they hard-wired into GNOME and cannot be remove at all? Or is there a way to discard the packages and keep the one I want?
I'm not doing this for the sake disk space; I'm only trying to take control of my desktop to always have the most clean system possible.

I have a registered domain (let say domain.com ) with a web server (www.domain.com) hosted somewhere online.
I handle the mail part in my private network, by giving the MX my WAN IP (111.222.333.444 )and NAT routing mail stuff to the mail server (10.7.167.3) It works fine.
I will have to handle sub-domains (foo.domain.com & bar.domain.com) and also another domain (anotherdomain.com) in my network. In that case NAT routing isn't going to work ...
What do I need to set this up ? I guess I need a DNS server in my network but I'm not sure if there won't be a conflict somewhere with the Registrar's DNS and mine. Or do I have to take the whole DNS of my domain on this new server and make it half public/half private in some way ?

My computer that I am trying to use Linux on is a Gateway G6-400 with a 10 GB hard drive and the original floppy and DVD drive. I want to use additional parts that are useable from an old Gateway Essential which consists of: the hard drive, some RAM, and another 10 GB hard drive. I want to use a OS that looks like a Mac (I am thinking about either Ubuntu or Xubutu). It doesn't have a 4 pin MB connector. Does this mean I can't change the power supply on the machine, or is the computer able to use the PSU without the 4 pin connector? How much wattage would I need?!!! And what Graphics card should I upgrade to for this computer? I want to do basic tasks and play these three games: Wizard101, FreeRealms, and Fusion Fall. All of the internet I want to connect over a network wirelessly.

I remember reading that using sed, you can do this with parentheses: s/abc(something)def/(something)else/g I can't find an explanation of how to do something like this with Awk. Say you have this in an HTML file, where (number) stands for a one or two-digit number:
<sup>(number)</sup>
And you want to change that to this:
<a name="(number)t" href="#(number)b"><sup>(number)</sup></a>
How would this be possible? Would you have to use sed?

I installed a fresh new Jessie (8.1) with the Cinnamon environment a few days a go, and yesterday I started seeing a strange issue seemingly happening at random.
I'm not sure what I do to cause this, but every few hours all the text and some of the icons (launcher, notifications and some applications) on the panel disappear. Most icons in the menu also vanish.
I've just noticed that some windows also disappear, but instead of showing the window behind them, I see my background image (see attached image).
I can't interact with windows which I can't see, but I can move and resize them (they have no border to grab, but alt+middle mouse works).
I can get around the issue by restarting Cinnamon (Alt+F2, r), but that works only part of the time.
Dmesg shows nothing (most recent message was plugging in my mouse & keyboard).
I'm running this on a Lenovo X201 (which uses Intel HD graphics QM57) and an external monitor (dual monitor configuration)...

I used split -b 32m "file.bz2" "file.bz2.part-" to split a file and it created more than 50 parts. From googling, the way I found to reassemble the parts is to cat file.bz2.part-aa file.bz2.part-ab > file.bz2, while enumerating all the 50+ parts. Is there an easier way to reassemble the parts wherein I no longer need to list all those parts explicitly?
I'm using Fedora 12.
