| havenstance | Question for anyone who can answer, using xubuntu 18.04, I'm trying to write a shell script that will mount drives only if it detects two computers on my network, I have this working, if I take one computer out the shell script fails to execute and forces the user to press any key. Just as intended, what I can't figure out is how to get the script to write to a specified logfile | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| havenstance | I've tried several options and they either make it run in the background, or just simply don't work at all, and everything I can find seems to indicate that xubuntu's terminal requires a different setup to achieve this? does anyone know how to set it up? | 01:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | havenstance: it should be as simple as having a line in the script like echo "info" >> /path/to/logfile | 02:03 |
| Unit193 | havenstance: Did you try the `exec` method? | 02:06 |
| havenstance | unit I did and it did log like I wanted, it just didn't show anything on the desktop when I clicked the launcher's icon... | 02:07 |
| havenstance | basic idea, It's for the plex server and the idea is sometimes the PC or the server either aren't on, or aren't connected to the network at the time. So I wrote a fool proof method so she can just click the icon on the desktop and it'll go... The reason for the log is so I don't have to sort out "it said this, and did that here but I don't know what happened it's just not working" lol so trying to make sure I have a way to go ba | 02:08 |
| havenstance | so I guess I should clarify my issue lies in how to make the desktop launcher achieve this while still showing her a terminal screen pressing a key to exit afterwards, I have the key presses working in the script and all that stuff I just can't figure out how to log as well as showing what she needs to see on the screen | 02:10 |

| fo | Hi there! I just upgraded to 18.04 and it seems that I cannot change my desktop wallpaper... | 09:57 |
| fo | Anyone else with a similar problem? right click on the desktop does not open a context menu, in all other areas it works | 09:58 |
| diogenes_ | fo, try new user | 10:00 |
| fo | diogenes_, do you mean create a new user and see whether it works there? | 10:01 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 10:02 |
| fo | alright, i'll try that, good idea. | 10:03 |
| fo_ | hi again, i'm back with the wallpaper problem. ;) | 10:07 |
| fo_ | new user did not work either - i also tried setting a new wallpaper from the file explorer, as the context menu offers this option when right clicking on an image, but it did not work either (neither old nor new user) | 10:09 |
| diogenes_ | how did you upgrade? | 10:11 |
| fo_ | upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 via "official" update | 10:18 |
| fo_ | Which program handles the desktop wallpaper? maybe the package is missing... | 10:18 |
| diogenes_ | i guess it's xfdesktop | 10:21 |
| fo | diogenes, you're the best :) | 10:27 |
| fo | installing xfdesktop4 and rebooting solved the issue! | 10:27 |
| diogenes_ | great :) | 10:28 |
