QuickPup 21.04 [RETIRED, succeeded by QuickPup64]

[+Me]

Thanx Mistfire 4 your Reply, I've Followed your instruction ( which I've Never done before, Run-as-Root I mean ), Much less errors, but az yoU can see AnyDesk still doesn't start, I Wundered if perhaps it might be related 2 the Bash Error on the 1st line of the Terminal, so I've been on a Bash Crash course ( Never done that B4 either )
Here's the bash File Contents, I Dunno what's wRong w/ it now or How 2 Fix it or if it's got Anything 2 do w/ AnyDesk Not working?

#!/bin/csh
# Environment path variables for the Qt package:
if ( ! $?QT4DIR )
then
# It's best to use the generic directory to avoid
# compiling in a version-containing path:
if ( -d /usr/lib/qt )
then
setenv QT4DIR /usr/lib/qt
else
# Find the newest Qt directory and set $QT4DIR to that:
foreach qtd \( /usr/lib/qt-* \)
if ( -d $qtd )
then
setenv QT4DIR $qtd
endif
end
endif
endif
set path = \( $path $QT4DIR/bin \)
if ( $?CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH )
then
setenv CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH $QT4DIR/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
else
setenv CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH $QT4DIR/include
endif

I Did Edit it so that then started on it's own line ( Originally it was 22 lines long now it's 26 )

Please Help & Thanx!

The file /etc/profile.d/qt4.csh is not a bash script.
It is a C-shell (csh) script.

Scripts in /etc/profile.d/ are sourced (executed) by bash when bash runs /etc/profile.

But bash does not understand csh scripts.

an "unexpected end of file" syntax error can occur if a bash "if ... then ... fi' construct is missing the "fi" at the end.

In the csh scripts there are no "fi"s because csh uses "endif" not "fi"

Which is why there is the bash syntax error.

That csh script should not be there.
Unless Quickpup has C-shell installed.

Just delete /etc/profile.d/qt4.csh. QuickPup was suceeded by QuickPup64. The PPM on QuickPup64 automatically deletes unsupported profile.d scripts.

1. Just look for Anydesk desktop file in /usr/share/applications and edit it with text editor.
2. Replace the "Exec=" part with run-as-spot command. For example:

Code: Select all

Exec=run-as-spot Anydesk

or create a custom script and specify the script in Exec= part of anydesk desktop file

Code: Select all

Exec=<path to your custom script>

example

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/bin/anydesk-spot.sh

Thanx Mistfire 4 your Help, I Opened the AnyDesk.desktop icon File from /usr/share/applications & Edited it w/ Leafpad, like so Exec=/usr/bin/anydesk-spot.sh & also Tried Exec=run-as-spot Anydesk

Created a Shell Script @ that Location ie. /usr/bin/ Containing #! /bin/sh su spot cd ~ & Made it eXecutable. But it's Not working from either or Both The Network Sub-Menu & Terminal ( No Terminal Output Errors )

What have I done wRong?

Please & Thanx

No wonder why your script didn't work. The script you made was changing the home directory. No more else. You forgot to add anydesk command. Also the custom script must put in /usr/local/bin after you make the script executable

1. First replace run-as-spot script in /usr/sbin with this improved version attached on this post. Dont forget to remove .txt extension and set permission to executable.
2. Now enter this code to your bash script. REPLACE YOUR CODE ENTIRELY WITH THIS ONE.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec run-as-spot anydesk
