Ubuntu :: Shar File, But Karmic Says That It Is A Shell Script?
Jun 2, 2010
I downloaded the demo of Penumbra Overture, it is a sh file (113Mb). I can't open the file.In a terminal I ran chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh and then sudo./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh and I get an error "./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh: 2:Syntax error: "(" unexpected" . The quotation marks are my own. Is the file corrupted?ne of my lugmates thinks it might be a shar file, but Karmic says that it is a shell script.Another friend says that it is too large to be a shell script. Here is the code:
johnjohn-laptop:~$ cd /home/john/00
johnjohn-laptop:~/00$ chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh
johnjohn-laptop:~/00$ sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh
Is there a way that I can download either a new folder management system for Ubuntu Karmic or at least customize the current one so it works better? I don't like when I'm trying to find a certain file such as a .mp3 and I can't sort it by the name of the artist or the name of the show? I know that the actual MP3 file as the meta data embedded into the file but with Ubuntu Karmic I can't seem to set it so it will display in the List Columns. When I tried to go to List columns to change the preferences it only gives me limited options of what I can display and most of them our useless such as MIME type, Octal Permissions, SELinux context, etc.. I want to have columns such as Name, artist, author, album, etc...
I need a shell script that will add the users name and date to a file when the user has modified the file, these files are within a group and only accessible to this group. But we need a way for people in the group to know who and when the file was last modified.
I am supposed to take some small files, and print them to a specific printer, such that the small files are concatenated into one file. The file name has to be included in the file that gets printed.
Should I be looking to concatenate the files into one file with the file names included, and then print them?
Has anyone else noticed an increase in file size of ripped CD tracks to MP3 between previous releases of Ubuntu and Karmic? Specifically using the same Gstreamer pipeline settings the file size in Karmic is now considerably larger than in previous releases like Jaunty or Intrepid. Is there a fix for this bug. Seems like Sound Juicer/Rhythmbox have some significant bugs in Karmic!
I'm trying to create a script that will back up my databases daily, then keep a weekly version, then keep a monthly version. I know there's a script out there that will make a mysqldump on the first of the month and call that the monthly version, but that doesn't seem right to me. So I was thinking maybe I could put the date +%s in the file name (along with other things like the name of the db, etc) and then do some kind of if statement based off of that date in the file name in order to take the monthly (and weekly) versions.
Ubuntu version 10.10File location inside a folder on DesktopFile extn : .shI need to run this file in terminal console, but what path to be given is the question.
I have to install a program from a tar.gz file. I have extracted it using fileroller, and it contains an installation "shell script" file.
I have no idea what scripts are, or how they work. I tried sudo make/sudo make install, with no luck. how I install this program using the shell script file?
today itself i joined a shell account given to me by cjb.net. i am able to ssh [URL] from my putty... but how can i download files or get help from the this server...

But in Redhat I can run same script . My script as follows.
I have a number of text files throughout my /home/pjs/Documents directory tree that have execute permissions set. Almost all of my file names have spaces in them. I am trying to write a shell script that will look at each file in my Documents directory, find the ones that have execute permissions set, and run the command chmod 644. Of course, I don't want the command run on the directories.
The following script *doesn't work*, but might serve to illustrate what I am trying to do:
#!/bin/bash for x in "$(ls -R)" do if [ -f "$x" ] && [ -x $x ]; then chmod 644 "$x" fi done
I want each file and directory name to be placed, one by one, in the variable $x, and then tested with the "if" conditionals.
The first problem seems to be that, although the command "ls -R" does produce a complete list of the files and directories I need, they are not placed, one by one, in the variable x like I want them to be.
Also, I think I should use the shift command so that the option -R doesn't get included as one of the values of the variable $x, but I can't figure out where to put it.
I'm using Ubuntu minimal install (With no window manager). What is the quickest and easiest way to upload a file somewhere? Something like a script to pastebin would work.
I have a small script that uses the find command to look for a log file named: backup_log.txt. And then uses the first value in the log file as a variable in the script later on. However, say there are two or more of these log files located in different directories, how would I let the user choose which log file will be the one to use, and then make that (fullpathtofile) the value of the variable that will be used.
I am working on some homework, however i am not here to be spoon fed. I am trying to get the numerical modification date of each file in a folder. Ie lets say there is a file called bob and it was modified 2006-11-23. i want to get it into a variable as 20061123.
Now i currently have this code:
Code:
However for some reason my output is:
Quote:
See how the 2011 has been placed next to it? i ran it with -x and saw this:
Code:
However i do not know how to find a way around this?
