| nils17 | hi. how to execute a shell-script via desktop-startet, explicitly via bash (not e.g. zsh)? e.g. xfce4-terminal -e 'bash /home/user/myscript.sh' ?? | 13:47 |
|---|---|---|
| jbermudes | nils17: I thought that was what shebangs were for | 13:50 |
| nils17 | ok.. if the shebang is enough to make shure that it is executed by bash.. then ok.. | 13:50 |
| nils17 | then the question is only: how to create a desktop-starter that starts a bashscript via xfce4-terminal but with root-rights? gksudo or sudo in fron of the path-to-script? you understand? | 13:51 |
| nils17 | 1. gksudo xfce4-terminal -e '/home/user/myscript.sh" or | 13:52 |
| nils17 | 2. xfce4-terminal -e 'sudo /home/user/myscript.sh' ? | 13:52 |
| jbermudes | Like, you want an icon on the desktop or in a panel? | 13:52 |
| nils17 | it for a starter I created under /usr/share/applications/ "Desktop-starter" was just an example | 13:53 |
| jbermudes | I'm confused. What do you want? An icon that's clickable that starts your script? | 13:53 |
| nils17 | wait I tell you :-) | 13:54 |
| nils17 | please have a look here: http://pastebin.com/vrkAkqu6 | 13:56 |
| nils17 | I created a starter... but the script runs with user's rights. But it should be run with root's rights (sudo/gksudo) | 13:56 |
| nils17 | you understand? | 13:56 |
| nils17 | this starter appears in my menu.. (this part works without any problems) | 13:57 |
| nils17 | its just the rights the script runs with | 13:57 |
| jbermudes | since xfce4-terminal is a gui app, then perhaps adding gksudo to the beginning of the Exec command will work? | 13:59 |
| nils17 | ok.. I now try the easiest way... could you tell me how to create a script that shows me who I am? e.g. xfce4-terminal -e 'whoami' (the terminal should not close) | 14:01 |
| jbermudes | You could use the "read" command at the end of the shell script to pause and wait for text to be entered | 14:02 |
| nils17 | yes.. alternativly I tried the following: xfce4-terminal -e "whoami && sleep 10" | 14:03 |
| nils17 | but NO xfce4-terminal opens | 14:03 |
| nils17 | do I have to use -e "/bin/bash whoami" ?? | 14:04 |
| jbermudes | You can test this by just opening a terminal and typing xfce4-terminal whatever inside the terminal and seeing what happens ;) | 14:06 |
| nils17 | I get error message " gtk-warning unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine" | 14:07 |
| jbermudes | The simplest way I can think of is to just save the whoami thing to a separate file and just make xfce4-terminal run that script | 14:08 |
| jbermudes | or even in the script do whoami > ~/whoami-out.txt or something | 14:08 |
| jbermudes | then you dont even have to deal with waiting to read output | 14:08 |
| jbermudes | although maybe that's a bad idea if you don't know who's home folder that may end up in | 14:09 |
| jbermudes | It'll either be in yours in /home/bob or /root | 14:10 |

| sim642 | I have autologin turned on but I still get asked for keyring password | 14:43 |
| sim642 | any way to get rid of that? | 14:43 |

| xubuntu04w | Hey I'm trying to install xubuntu onto my computer, but every time I try I get "unrecognized maxwell chipset" | 22:34 |
| xubuntu04w | I'm running a 980 Ti and a pentium g3258 | 22:34 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu04w, the free nouveau driver used by default is not supporting nvidia maxwell chipsets | 22:37 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu04w, but you can start the live system with the bootoption 'nomodeset' and after system installation add the according nvidia driver | 22:38 |

| xubuntu11w | Hi I am having problems with my wireless internet adapter constantly disconnecting/connecting. And it making my computer completely freeze. What can I do to figure out the problem and fix this? | 23:06 |
| AIA | hi | 23:30 |
| knome | hello | 23:30 |
| AIA | i'm new with Xubuntu and wanna to know how to install Emacs &c++ compiler | 23:31 |
| knome | AIA, sudo apt-get install emacs build-essential | 23:32 |
| knome | AIA, that is, from the command line | 23:32 |
| AIA | this command to install emacs only or c++ compiler also | 23:33 |
| knome | both | 23:33 |
| AIA | there r any other compiler | 23:34 |
| AIA | installed | 23:35 |
| knome | no, a regular user doesn't need a compiler | 23:35 |
| AIA | thinx | 23:35 |
| xubuntu11w | is someone able to help me? | 23:37 |
| knome | xubuntu11w, what is your wireless adapter? | 23:37 |
| xubuntu11w | Bus 001 Device 026: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter | 23:38 |
| xubuntu11w | im pretty sure this is it http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Network-Adapter-Antenna/dp/B006JWMOOI | 23:41 |

| xubuntu11w | was that the information you needed knome? | 23:51 |
| knome | xubuntu11w, that would help debugging the issue for sure, but i have little experience with ralink adapters | 23:51 |
| knome | you can try searching with ubuntu and rt3072 for potential solutions | 23:52 |
| xubuntu11w | okay. the wireless adapter is not the problem. It has to be something else. | 23:55 |
| knome | actually, the wireless adapters are often problematic | 23:56 |
| xubuntu11w | like a driver issue. or bug in linux. It used to never give me problems. now it does. | 23:56 |
| knome | if manufacturers do not offer drivers or hardware specifications for everybody (including linux), things are unlikely to work ootb | 23:57 |
| xubuntu11w | sometimes Xubuntu, will say a internal problem has occurred. something with the network manager i see in the report. I have sent report each time. | 23:59 |
