Do you need help?X

I usually do:

cp -a ./* ./.* backup/

You'll get an error when it tries to copy backup into itself, but everything else will be copied fine.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I am having trouble using sed to edit text files, heres a good example of what I am looking for:

<begin 1.txt>
This is a test
file, what I am
trying to do is get the lines to join.

It isn't a complicated thing,
but I also want to keep the paragraphs
separate.
</end 1.txt>

I try this command:

sed s/\n// / 1.txt > 2.txt and I get an error, so: sed s'\n/ /' 1.txt > 2.txt and nothing happens.

I don't get it. I though \n was end of line, which I am trying to replace with spaces.

I understand that this would loose the paragraphs, so ideally what I need to do is something like this:

  1. Replace double line breaks with special sequence not found in text.
  2. Convert all line breaks to spaces
  3. Convert special seqeuence to double line breaks.
Can't find what you're looking for?X

I thought sed would be perfect for this, but no such luck. I can get what I want by using kwrite for step 1 and 2, then OO.o Writer for step 3. (kwrite seems unable to do step 3)

But ideally I'd like to just have a script to do it, but cannot figure out how to go about it, as sed doesn't seem to be working.

Unfortuntly, Debian relies on GNU and GNU has changed the licence on the docs to be incompatible with Debian. Notice that the stub of a man pages directs you to info cp, however info cp gives you cpio instead. OOPS. try:
$ mkdir backup
$ cp -r i* backup/

I don't see anything like --ignore in the man page.

Don't know where to look next?X

Personally, for stuff like that I use mc. If I'm writing a script, I'm using Python anyway.

The only thing that's not supported in amd64 is propriatary stuff like flash player. I watch DVDs just fine on my Athlon64 running Etch amd64. For flash, I have an i386 chroot that has iceweasel and the flash player.

Lenny has a new wrapper thingy that solves this and removes the need for the chroot.

sed works line by line, separately. There's an N modifier to make it work across lines. You may check http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/sed.html for a nice tutorial, or http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/unix/sed.html for some examples. Regards, Victor

I just ran strace on evince and opened a PDF file. The only "magic" files which evince tried to access were ~/.local/share/mime/magic and /usr/local/share/mime/magic (neither of which is present on my system). Maybe you can generate one of these two files to make evince recognize the PDFs. I have no idea about the required format, therefore I would simply try to use what I see in /usr/share/mime/magic: $ grep -aA1 pdf /usr/share/mime/magic [60:application/pdf] >0=%PDF- There are two non-printing bytes hidden in grep's output above, between the "=" and the "%" sign in the second line: $ grep -aA1 pdf /usr/share/mime/magic | hd -C 00000000 5b 36 30 3a 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 2f |[60:application/| 00000010 70 64 66 5d 0a 3e 30 3d 00 05 25 50 44 46 2d 0a |pdf].>0=..%PDF-.| 00000020

This comes up on the list from time to time. The general answer is that packages that benefit from processor-specific compilation (e.g. the kernel, Marillat's mplayer "unofficial" packages, etc.) do exist in processor-specific forms. The vast majority of packages, however, do not benefit sufficiently from processor-specific compilation to justify the complication of supporting extra versions of the packages, much less the infrastructure to automatically select the correct package for your processor when using apt.

Actually nothing -- because I lost patience and just pulled the plug on it when it was refusing to eject. It works normally sometimes and right now it is working okay, so there are no files left open. In fact, I mis-reported in the original post. I am using gtkpod, not gpod. Gtkpod has two strange charactistics, but seems to be ususally workable. The oddities are - if you create an extra copy of the ipod by mistake (or when trying things out), there seems to be no way to delete it again, other than identifying the relevant lines in the ~/.gtkpod/prefs file. I have not tried this method incase I mess it up. - it has two copies of the same window offering "Artist" "Album" "Genre" etc tabs, and I have no idea why one is not enough. Until I do damage the filesystem, I've decided to accept the occasional error messages and continue simply unplugging it when it wont eject. Then I'll delete the ripped files that failed to copy from the computer on the assumption they are faulty in some way. I am going to leave experimentation with ipodlinux as at http://www.linux.com/articles/53221 for another day, when I have an ipod spare... Thanks for your comments. -- richard

Usually it stays blue, but barring any other suggestions, I'm going to have to assume it's bad and see if I can RMA it. [snipped logs]

I'd use rsync locally. First a dry-run in case I'd made a mistake: rsync --dry-run -va --delete --exclude=backup /mydirectory/ /mydirectory/backup/ And then remove --dry-run and maybe also -v for the production version: rsync -a --delete --exclude=backup /mydirectory/ /mydirectory/backup/ For more complicated cases I'd add the -H and -S flags but it doesn't look like they're needed here. Please note that trailing slashes on directory names are significant to rsync. If you change the examples above you may see different behavior. --Mike Bird

Having switched to "nv" from "nvidia" myself recently (see other messages in thread) I have to say I really can't notice any significant difference between them. Of course if you're running 3D stuff, "nv" will be falling back to software OpenGL (mesa) but for day-to-day 2D X-windows stuff "nv" seems entirely fast enough. When you switched to "nv", did you remember to reenable/re-add the Load "dri" line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? (Needs to be disabled for nvidia, not nv). Might make a difference. Tim

You could try using tar. Something like tar --exclude=backup | tar -x --directory=backup -- Patrick Ouellette pat@flying-gecko.net kb8pym@arrl.net Amateur Radio: KB8PYM Living life to a Jimmy Buffett soundtrack "Crank the amp to 11, this needs more cowbell - and a llama wouldn't hurt either"

> Thanks victor, upon further testing, perhaps sed isn't what I should be using in the first place. tr seems to be a better candidate, yet I cannot get this working either. It seems like such a simple thing to do, perhaps I need to write a program that will do it, but I thought surely there'd be a simple (or maybe not so simple) command line that would just do it. I don't care if it's sed, or tr, awk, perl, python, whatever... as long as I get the stupid hard returns out. Joe

Well, neither could I. I suppose that the Beeb has decided to really hide the actual content and this time did a bang up job as far as I can tell. They seem to have gotten rid of the standalone player link on their listen again player (though oddly BBC4 still has it and it is also on the BBC Radio 2 listen live page) and that definitely puts a kink in things. I tried viewing the source for each frame and that didn't show anything useful, at least not that I could recognize. :-) I even looked via ps for the running realplay in hopes that it would reveal some clue, but got nothing useful. In the end I was only able to succeed by accident. I tried the link in epiphany and it gave me a popup complaining that totem could not open the content, and in so doing told me the full file name. That turned out to be rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio2/fridaymusic.ra?BBC-UID=a42\ 6cbda207670378b86528c714caba3684a2b4fc040b101329203b36444a5b5&SSO2-UID=' I doubt that this could be reliably reproduced, though perhaps you may have a broken install of epiphany too, and that could turn out to be a good thing. I do hope this is not the way that the BBC Radio people will be doing things everywhere, as it is certainly a great deal less convenient. Patrick
