First, determine what shell you are running:



echo $SHELL


Do you need help?X

Then, make sure that program gets put into the first line of your
script. So, in my case, I get:



tyler:~-> echo $SHELL


/bin/bash



which means that I should have:


#!/bin/bash



as the first line of my shell scripts.



As long as you pass the script to the same shell that you are running
in your terminal, any command that works from the CL should work the
same in a script.


HTH,


Tyler

yes that worked for me too (but the x-www-browser was already set

Subject: Debian sarge -> etch and menu's and databases software
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0706290036500.1603@localhost>
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hello.

I am a fairly basic user of Debian.

I have this computer, which runs sarge (for the present), and my laptop, 
which has just been upgraded to etch.

In trying to find what had happened to the package pgaccess, an 
interface for PostgreSQL, I posted a message asking about it on the 
PosgreSQL "general" list. The response was that not much had been done 
for a while on that application or package, and I was referred to 
pgadmin.

In searching using Synaptic, on both of my computers, I found that on 
the etch installation, I have pgadmin installed, and phppgadmin, and, on 
the sarge installation, pgaccess is listed in Synaptic, with no other 
information about it (no version numbers, or information about it).

So, I looked in all of the sub-menu's in the Applications menu's on both 
computers.

On the etch installation, I could not find any references to any 
databases, apart from finding MySQL Query in Applications->Programming. 
Apart from having pgadmin and phppgadmin, and associated packages 
installed, as shown in Synaptic, I also have PostgreSQL 8.1 and 
associated packages installed, and MySQL 5.0 installed on the etch 
installation.

However, on the sarge installation, in the Applications menu, in 
Applications->Debian Menu->Apps , at the top of the list, is the item 
"Databases", which lists:
MySQL Administrator
MySQL Navigator
MySQL Query Browser
PgAccess
PostgreSQL Interactive Terminal (psql)
 .
In running pgaccess from the Applications menu on the sarge 
installation, and checking the version number, using Help->About, I 
found that it is the latest version, as stated on the Debian web page 
for the package.

Now, what I am wondering, is whether the lack of inclusion of the 
Databases packages, in the Applications menu, in etch, is intentional, 
or whether it is a defect in my installation of etch (which was done as 
an upgrade from sarge to etch, requiring some troubleshooting to repair 
damage, as gnome and the packages that run on it, were obliterated in 
the upgrade, and took a bit of work to be restored).

It seems strange to me, that a menu, such as the Databases menu, should 
be missing from the Applications menu in etch, as it is very useful, 
with the convenience of being able to run the applications by clicking 
on the menu entries, rather than looking for instructions in books, 
to find  how to run the applications.

Hi,

    After playing music with the XMMS application, I seem to be unable 
to hear sound after closing the XMMS app and going to watch videos at 
Google Video (or anywhere else on the web).  I've looked over the net 
and couldn't find the answer to this.  The sound is fine, but, after 
listening to XMMS audio, I have to log out (and back in) in order to 
hear sound over the internet.  The reverse isn't a problem, though, 
meaning that I can listen to Google Video and then play XMMS without 
problems.  What am I missing?  Thanks in advance.  ~Telly

is it just web sound you can't hear or is it any sound?=20

what audio out are you using with xmms: alsa, oss, esd?

I'm willing to bet that you're starting some sound daemon in the
process of starting xmms and that soudn daemon is still around after
you exit and its blocking up the sound.

In the shell as well as in gdm there is a short delay (ca. 3 seconds) when a
wrong password is entered on login. How can I customize the duration?

Many thanks,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Running Debian etch without problems for some time - in a simple setup 
connecting via a static local ip address (192.168.0.10) through a NAT 
DSL (Linksys) "router."  Recently, though, and seemingly ad-hoc, the 
Debian box has been losing its static ip and picking up a dynamic ip 
address (from the DSL router's DHCP server).

 From /etc/network/interfaces...
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 192.168.0.10
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         network 192.168.0.0
         broadcast 192.168.0.255
         gateway 192.168.0.1
         # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package...
         dns-nameservers 208.201.224.11 208.201.224.33
         dns-search localdomain

I can restart the network, and the static ip gets restored - only to be 
dropped again at some unpredictable time (usually seems to happen only 
after hours or days have passed).

Any ideas as to why the static ip is being dropped and replaced by a 
DHCP call would be much appreciated.

Jeff

i was merely pointing out these tools inc ase you didn't know about
them. apt-cache search allows you to search packages for your keyword
in the name or description. apt-cache show will show you the
description of a particular package. It seemed that most of your
question could have been answered by this. merely trying to be
helpful.

If you are using grub probably it's enought to do a:

grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda

where /boot directory is your new boot partition (if this is the case).
I've done something similar few days ago, but using a live cd (knoppix)  and
chroot.

Hope it helps you

The master boot record is always in the first sector of the drive, in 
your case that would be in /dev/hda. I guess you mean the boot-manager 
instead? That depends on the boot-manager you are using, it should 
display its name before it loads the kernel. Common names are grub and 
lilo. In don't know how grub is configured, but for lilo:

For lilo, the option of where the boot-manager is installed is set up in 
/etc/lilo.conf under the entry
boot=/dev/hdaX

Once you changed that line, run lilo as root, and it will update the 
location.
Please read the lilo-manpage (man lilo) before doing this and make sure 
you know what you are doing, otherwise you may render your system 
unbootable or erase your data!

Cheers,
Mike

I tried various values. Looks like the first time I modify this 
variable, there is some improvement in the scrolling behavior, but then 
it just comes back to the same situation and no value of this variable 
seems to have any effect.

FWIW I've just installed Stumble Upon and it works fine. Etch with
everything up to date on a standard install.

Take a look into "Dive into Python" by Mark Pilgrim. It's a book for
people who already know how to program in other languages and I found it
to be very interesting. Since it it is free (well, GFDL) it is even
packaged for Debian as 'diveintopython' in testing lenny and sid.

I use the proprietary nvidia driver only because of this bug, that
occurs with the nv driver:

That is unusual to have two entries.  I don't know if that is valid or
not but I have never seen such a configuration in the wild before.  I
suggest picking one or the other.  'auto' is enabled when the
/etc/init.d/networking script runs.  'allow-hotplug' is enabled when
the devices comes online.

The rest of the file looked okay to me.

Is there a dhclient process running?  I suspect so.

  ps -ef | grep dhclient

If so then that process is periodically getting a new DHCP address.
Find out why that process is getting started and fix it there.  It is
perhaps a leftover since before you modified the interfaces file and
after it was configured off nothing knew to kill it.
