[SOLVED] Can't execute scripts with Thunar/XFCE. (Runs OK in terminal)

Until recently, I could double-click a script (or link to a script) in Thunar or on the XFCE desktop, and it would execute
Now, however, when I double-click a script, it opens in Leafpad (my text editor). I've browsed the wiki and searched the forum and web, but can't find any clues as to what has changed or why this is happening.
I can right-click in Thunar and use the "Open With>" option to set the script to open with another application, but there's no obvious option to run a script. Opening with a terminal emulator results in a brief hourglass, then nothing.
The script I'm testing with (the Tor Browser Bundle startup script) is in my /home/myname directory, has -rwx------ permissions (with me as the owner), and the file type in Thunar shows "shell script". It runs fine if I execute it in a terminal with "sh /path/to/script" -- just not via Thunar or the XFCE desktop.
Can anyone suggest anything I could check?

This is an intended change in Thunar 1.6.5: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7596#c15
Thunar 1.6.6 has a hidden option to restore the old behavior: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=b385bcf
The option is called misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default and can be set using xfce4-settings-editor or by following the instructions here:
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings
Thanks so much for the explanation!
I tried creating "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" in the Settings Editor, set to true, but it didn't seem to have any effect. So I tried this in a terminal, also to no effect:
xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true
If I right-click on a script, the top item on the menu is still "Open with Leafpad". Do I somehow need to change the default behaviour to "execute script"...? I've searched but I can't seem to find any further information.
I guess it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to restore the default behaviour.

It can be upgraded, if you want more use out of it.
It just can't be upgraded enough for iCloud.
For example, you can upgrade it to 10.5. But not 10.7.

Macbook Pro running Snow leaopard can not share screen with Mac Pro running lion with "Back to my Mac"

Any ideas?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

[SOLVED] Can't use scrot with a shortcut in Xfce

I don't need to be bothered by a dialog and browsing to my screenshots directory every time I want to take a screenshot, so I've tried to set a keyboard shortcut in Xfce that lets me simply put a screenshot in the directory for me. However, nothing seems to be happening.
I've set the command to be just plain old 'scrot' (and '/usr/bin/scrot' just to be sure) as suggested on the Arch Wiki and have tried the format suggested in the scrot man page. Neither works, and I can't figure out why. As a point of information, the
scrot '%Y-%m-%d.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
suggested by the man page doesn't work because it says that --.png is not a valid option. So it would seem that the calls to strftime are being interpreted wrongly or at the wrong time?
Thanks for any help.

What if you create a script like this:
#!/bin/bash
scrot '%Y-%m-%d.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
Make it executable:
chmod +x the_script
Then try it in the terminal and see if you get a screenshot, if you do, then modify the key bind in xfce to run:
/home/username/the_script
And see if it works that way. It's not really a solution if it works, because you need the script.

Create a script that can create entire schema with data when run

Hi,
I need to create a script that creates the entire schema on a database when the script is run. the need is that the script should be capable of creating all schema objects with grants and all, including the table data.
The same objective can be achived through export / import.But we don't want to deliver the dump files instead a script which will be executed on a database created with same database stucture of tablespaces etc.
I have serched the net but yet to achive the goal.
Is there any oracle utility / script file that can do this for me ?
Can Oracle import be used to create the same, the way it is used to create index File ?
Please suggest !!
Regards

You should look at the package dbms_metadata to be able to extract all ddl to recreate a schema. To load the data, you could write scripts that will generate insert statements and spool these to a file (sql generating sql), or you could write scripts that generates a delimited file and use sql loader to load the data into the target system. There are lots of little gotchas in either of these 2 solutions. The biggest 2 right away. 1 - picking a delimiter, 2 - dealing with carriage returns in text data. SQL Developer is able to do some extraction, so before you go writing this stuff yourself, I would check it out to see if it does what you are looking for before you reinvent the wheel.

Can't create scripts with Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1

I'm new in Oracle XE but I'm studing.
The installation is on a MS windows XP Home Edition with SP 2.
When I trie to create a Script or to see a Procedure created within SQL window, the code don't appear with the Mozilla browser. The lines number dont appear in the left side of the window.
Instead if I use the Windows Internet Expolrer browser the things goes OK.
I get the following errors on the MFFox ErrorConsole from the Tools pane:
Erro: s has no properties

Erro: line.div has no properties
Arquivo-fonte: http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/editor/codearea.xbl.xml
Linha: 3649
Is there any help available?

Hi
Hope this helps.
The dbms_metadata utility is also used for punching source code, PL/SQL, and Java that is stored inside Oracle packages. Stored procedures or functions can also easily be extracted using dbms_metadata.
In the example below, I extract all procedures associated with the fred schema.
connect fred/flintstone;
spool procedures_punch.lst
select
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('PROCEDURE',u.object_name)
from
user_objects u
where
object_type = 'PROCEDURE';
spool off;
The script at: http://www.dbazine.com/code/ext_proc.txt shows how to use dbms_metadata.get_ddl() to extract stored procedure DDL from user SCOTT.

Creating an executable script with vi and chmod

I have some after market packages I want to set up in my MBP Mavericks. I create a script file in iv called runada. It adds some directories to the global $PATH variable. I then change rights on the script, runada, with 'chmod a+x runada' so it becomes an execuitble. But it fails when I call runada within a shell terminal. I have seent his work in Debian I think.

As a guess: PATH needs to be exported if you want that setting to persist after the script modifies it and exits, or you'll need to "." or "source" invoke the script.
In any case, post a reproducer of the bash and somebody here can have a look.
Using homebrew is another approach to rolling your own packaging (if that's where you're headed here), and there are various alternatives to that.

[SOLVED] Can't sign key with pacman-key

I've been reading and digging all over the place but I can't seem to find anything on this.
1. I have created my own keys for signing packages that I want to put in a local repo so I don't have to compile the same package over and over on all my machines.
2. I have imported said key using sudo pacman-key --add rdjack21.pgp
3. Used sudo pacman-key --lsign rdjack21 I get this output:
-> Locally signing key rdjack21...
==> ERROR: rdjack21 could not be locally signed.
4. Ok so lets sudo pacman-key --edit rdjack21 output:
gpg> sign

Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Pacman Keyring Master Key <pacman@localhost>" (645ECB0E)
Really sign? (y/N) y
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg>
5. To hack this and make pacman work with my local repo signed by the rdjack21 key I had to change the trust to ultimate but I do not like that solution. I would prefer to sign the key and move the trust back down to full which is where it should be.
This is happening on all of my boxes not just one of them. I did find something on the web about "No pinentry" message above and the sugestion was to change the owner of the tty I'm using to be root for the signing to work but that did not work for me (su'ed to root first instead of running everything with sudo).
While changeing the trust works that just feels wrong to me. I really should beable to sign the key.

Taking a clue post gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN I was able to solve the problem and I can now sign keys.
The solution is add "pinentry-mode loopback" to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
And create the file /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and put "allow-loopback-pinentry" in the file.
Once that is done everythings works as expected!
Marking this as solved.

[SOLVED] Can't start pulseaudio with other users?

I am having trouble getting pulseaudio to start using a different user. The user "corey" can run pulse just fine. After logging out and logging in on user "tv", running pulseaudio --start returns this error message:
E [autospawn] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Operation not permitted
W [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
E [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
So it seems this user does not have permission? I can't imagine why, both corey and tv are in the audio group and both had active consolekit sessions at the time.
I don't know if this is relative information but I'll throw it out there anyway. I have a multiseat configuration with 2 seats, 1 at my desktop the other for my tv however for right now I am just logging into the display at my desktop. I followed most of the relative information about pulseaudio and multiseat from this page on the gentoo wiki (including editing the config files Xstartup and Xreset): here
consolekit though seems to be acting wierd, right now ck-list-sessions produces this:
Session3:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = 'Corey Teetor'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:19:44.835923Z'
login-session-id = '4294967295'
Session1:
unix-user = '1001'
realname = 'The Television'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:13:33.618814Z'
login-session-id = '1'
it says that the session for corey is not active even though i am logged in right now and pulse is running. I am a bit confused...please share your wisdom with me!

[SOLVED] Can't start compiz with gnome

When I set up gnome initially, I used the following wiki guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … k_Users.29
I had some issues after upgrading to gnome 3.8 that have now since been solved. I wen't through quite a bit trying to fix it and now somehow compiz isn't starting with my gnome/compiz session. It starts just fine if I run
$ compiz ccp --replace
after logging into the session. I think I'm simply not understanding how this session that I've installed works (or .session files in general).
here is my /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-compiz.session:
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Compiz
RequiredComponents=compiz;cairo-dock;gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=notifications;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=compiz
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
I tried removing cairo-dock from the above file just to make sure that this is the file actually being used and it did start up without the dock as I guessed. Obviously this file is being used. Why won't compiz start as well? I also tried adding gnome-panel to the file and gnome-panel did not start. Is this because it needs a .desktop file as well? I assume so.
Here is my /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]

Name=GNOME/Compiz
Comment=This session logs you into the GNOME desktop environment with Compiz and Cairo-Dock
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-compiz

and here is my /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop:

Last edited by instantaphex (2013-05-04 20:59:44)

So I started to think that maybe compiz was actually starting up but the ccp argument wasn't taking. I ran
$ pgrep -l compiz
and got no output. So compiz really isn't starting at all. What gives?

[SOLVED] Can't left-click with mouse (but I can on a tablet)

On a recent update, I noticed that my desktop would not detect my mouse's left-click. It correctly detects middle-click and right-click, however. On the other hand, I can left-click with a tablet.
How can I make it so that it will detect both the mouse and tablet's left-clicks?
I'm using evdev for the mouse, and linuxwacom-bamboo for tablet drivers.

For your particular problem, what terminal emulator are you using? And what's the config?
