My question: Is it possible to either put a test for the terminal environement in the scope.sh or use different config files for different tty logins, like one config file for tty1, and another for tty2?

You could probably test the $DISPLAY variable (if your system uses the X server ...

/root/Startup/PPMupdatedatabase - delete or move from the Startup directory if you don't need it.

I renamed the file PPMupdatedatabase.old and it still downloads 15.1MB about a minute after boot. Is there a way to see where and what it downloads?

Code: Select all

touch file{1..5}.txt
mkdir links
ln -sr *.txt links

It should be possible to add this as a custom button.

Something like: command ln; parameters -sr %f %Dt.

But I don't have DC installed to test it.

Yes, Xfe works the same as Rox, in other words, a file is selected, but a right click on another file does not un-select the previously selected file, it brings up an action menu that will operate on all selected files, which means the previously selected files and the file that was right-clicked ...

Once upon a time I wrote a script that shows the order of the loaded sfs files. Maybe you'll be able to adapt it to your needs. At least you'll know where the info about the aufs branches comes from.

How is it doing two substitutions at once?

It doesn't. It makes only one substitution:

(\.MP)? - match ".MP" if possible, match "" (an empty string) otherwise (there always is an empty string in between any two adjacent characters)

\. - match "."

(JPEG|jpg) - match "JPEG" OR "jpg"

$ - at ...

It's not a fix but it might be useful:

choose a folder
press CTRL-L
enter a filename

This shortcut is commonly used in various apps (also in Firefox itself) to give the focus to the address bar.

The bug has been fixed, the author has noticed it himself without a report.

No offense, of course. Just failed to spot an evidence of constructive approach in your initial reaction. Thanks for the clarification.
I've found f2 to be a very useful tool. Otherwise I wouldn't care to download the go compiler, especially with my limited plan. Not that the GUI ...

Bad news: it has a bug/regression that prevents replacing spaces with underscores or vice versa. f2 -f " " -r "_" doesn't work anymore.
Replacing spaces with underscores works when using octal instead of literal space : f2 -f '\40' -r '_' , however replacing underscores with spaces seems not to ...

In fact f2 is designed for more complex renaming tasks.

It's a new version again - 2.0.1

You've got an error - this is a result too.

' and " are quite different in bash.

'$var' is just a literal string, no expansion happens;

'a\' is OK but "a\" is wrong - the backslash escapes the quote, it should be "a\\" ;

Do you expect me to guess ...

im using this sed but aint working since gonna add in all names

You can limit the range of lines where sed will search for a "Name=":

Code: Select all

sed -i -e '/^\[.*Entry/,/^\[/{/^Name=/a\' -e "the line you want to add" -e '}' sample.desktop

This would also work with bash/ash/dash but uses sed :
echo $OLD | sed 's/false,/&\n/g' | sed -rn '/false,$/ s/(.*htm)(.*\/[^,]*)(.*)/\"htm\2,/p'

Just a note: this snippet works because the echo command outputs the whole thing as a single line.

For a multi-line input this sed command could ...

I found this script and would like to find a specific combination by its number in the sequence.

You've got "$@" parameters at the end of your command. Be aware that these are NOT the same parameters…

You've a point here! I was too lazy to actually test the functions (or even read the code carefully).

I see no repeating of that YAD command, so why in a function then ?

No repeating here too:

The popup window looks exactly like a firefox push notification . You've probably allowed them inadvertently.

There is a mozilla article that describes the feature and shows how to disable it.

This line handles the carriage return but adds a slash and space to the beginning of all inserted lines:

A backslash is expected, not a slash. A literal newline is expected too:
