[SOLVED] zenity 3.8 broke my scripts

After updating from zenity 3.6 to 3.8, most of my scripts dont work.
A little example:
#!/bin/bash
title="Server Options"
prompt="Pick an option:"
options=("option 1" "option 2" "option 3")
while opt=$(zenity --width 500 --height 300 --title="$title" --text="$prompt" --list --column="Options" "${options[@]}"); do
case "$opt" in
"${options[0]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 1";;
"${options[1]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 2";;
"${options[2]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 3";;
esac
done
This normally, when selecting an option should execute: zenity --info --text "option X"
Now it does not execute anything.
Downgrading to zenity 3.6 fixes the problem.
Please, a little help !

[SOLVED] help needed with active window script

I am trying to receive the current window from a script. it works fine, but when no window is open i get an error.
i am using this command:
xprop -id $(xprop -root 32x '\t$0' _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | cut -f 2) _NET_WM_NAME | cut -d '=' -f 2 | cut -b 1-2 --complement | rev | cut -c 2- | rev
error message is "Invalid Window id format: 0x0"
I tried working around this by using this script:
#!/bin/bash
title_window () {
xprop -id $(xprop -root 32x '\t$0' _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | cut -f 2) _NET_WM_NAME | cut -d '=' -f 2 | cut -b 1-2 --complement | rev | cut -c 2- | rev
title_root () {
title_window | grep 0x0
if [[ -z title_root ]]
then
title_window
else
echo "Desktop"

But now it shows "Desktop" for every window.

While my `mv` code will throw an error the error will not stop the moving of the files, you'll just get 26 messages about being unable to move the directory to itself. I could probably find a way to avoid this that doesn't require the use of find(which I personally dislike) or a second dir, probably just using a file prefix like "_" or something. It would only be a small edit:
#!/bin/bash
for I in {a..z}; do
echo "Moving $I";
mkdir "_$I";
echo "mv $I* \"$(echo $I | tr [:lower:] [:upper:])\"* _$I/";
# mv $I* "$(echo $I | tr [:lower:] [:upper:])"* "_$I/";
mv "_$I" $I

well, i have to politely disagree: one, invoking find once is much better IMHO than mv with tr in a subshell. and two, my ./sorted/ idea adds one additional mv command and one additional rm command where you're _$I suggestion added 26 additional mv commands.... just sayin'
but we could also paint the bikeshed blue. .
anyways, i think the OP's got more than he bargained for, hopefully we'll see a [SOLVED] on this one soon.

Solved-Quality Center 10 Mannual Runner Script - Setting the Cycle

I can make a script to set the value for the user field on the Manual Runner window when it launches, but it is annoying because even though the value is there...you still have to select it from the drop down.
I am setting the User Field for Cycle to equal the Target Cycle that has been set. It is pretty simple.

Nevermind...I just went and commented out the script that checked for for the value entry and popped up the message box. Ran the test and the Cycle number was entered...I did have to make a new script for populating a Cycle Last Run field, but other than that it worked to rip it out.

[Solved] Problems with permissions for a script

Hi I realize the topic "permissions in Linux" is something that you can find very easily in the internet but I cant seem to figure out a solution for my problem.
I currently have a working script (taken from the ArchWiki) which enables me to change my display brightness. However I must be either superuser or root to be able to use it since it sends commands to the necessary devices.
I am currently using fluxbox as "desktop environment" and I want to be able as normal user to change the brightness without calling "sudo" everytime. I have also bound the necessary keys in the fluxbox/keys file to send the necessary commands to the script so my only problem is now with the permission.
Every help is much appreciated
Last edited by Triver (2011-12-13 17:34:41)

ok it works that way (at least when I execute the additional script which contains the sudo command).
for some reason fluxbox doesnt react when I press the keycode that I looked up with xev (although it works with a combination like "Mod4 b: exec ~/script")
anyway I think I'll stick with that solution and add some additional commands in the script (like toggle wlan on/off), thx for the quick help
edit: ok now I'm having difficulties with extending the script
I want to add additional paramters so the script can be used multifunctional depending on the parameter you launch it with.
however he seems to think that the String which I want to compare with the parameter is a command.
here's the code
#! /bin/sh
if [$1 = "brightness"]; then
if [$2 = "up"]; then
//call the actual brightness script with sudo
elif [$2 = "down"]; then
// call the actual brightness scrip with sudo
else
echo "invalid parameters!"
exit 1
fi
fi
exit 0
I execute the script like this
~/script brightness up
but he only returns me
~/script: line 2: [brightness: command not found
so whats wrong with the code?

How to solve firefox crashing and continuous "unresponsive script" messages?

I've had this issue for a couple days now. When in firefox and having multiple tabs open, the tab that I am on will freeze and an "unresponsive script" message will come up. When I only have one tab open, the browser will shut down completely without any message. I have already tried disabling all of my plugins, allowing the script to run longer, restarting firefox, and even uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. None of these seem to work for me. Does this mean I have a virus? Are there any other things I can try or should I have this looked at?

Try this for your mac computer:
Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.

[Solved][KF5 Plasma] I broke my kwallet service

Hello,
I think I broke my kwallet service between updates and an attemp to reset it.
Few week ago, after an update, kwallet started to ask password any time I wanted to connect to a WIFI network.
As I didn't remember the kwallet password, I clicked "cancel" and entered the WIFI password manually.
Today I looked for method to reset kwallet and I've done this :
rm ~/.config/kwalletrc
mv ~/.local/share/kwalletd ~/.local/share/kwalletd.bak
Now i briefly see the kwallet password window, without any chance to do anything with that window.
And I can't connect WIFI network as it doesn't ask for WIFI password anymore.

[SOLVED] Removing E17 desktop from AUR script

Hello,
I went about today installing Arch with much success and was trying to install the E17 desktop which isn't working; anytime I type startx I get:
xset: bad font path element (#0), possible cause are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Director missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
/home/fox/.xinitrc: line 4: exec: enlightenment_start: not found
xinit looks like this:
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
xset fp rehash
exec enlightenment_start
I was going to remove E17 and reinstall it, but since I used the easy_e17.sh script I don't know how to go about removing it. I got the script from the AUR and used pacman -U to install it, but I can't seem to find a way to undo it. I tried reading easy_e17 --help and googled for a while, but couldn't find any info. Any help is appreciated.

Awebb wrote:What's the objection against the package in the repos? Why all the hassle with a non-pacman install?
I had the install from the repo's previously; the install was very smooth and it started just fine but I ran into a bug where if I attempted to remove a gadget from my desktop, my whole system would lock up. I jumped on to irc to see if anyone knew of a workaround when a dev told me that the snapshots in the repo's were about 2 weeks old, and that a large amount of work had been done over that time to that area, and that updating the snapshot would probably fix the issue. I know that at this point, it'd probably be easier to just re-install the package in the repos and avoid doing anything to reproduce the bug, but rather than take the easy way out I'd rather address the problem directly and have an up-to-date e17 install. In the meantime I got XFCE up and running so I have a fully functioning system.
moetunes wrote:Enlightenment_start would be a script to set the environment up and start the window manager, it is important. It looks like the make errors, as they always are, are important and shouldn't be ignored. Try again and pay attention to what happens during make, more then likely it will be dependency problems.
I went back and did another reinstall to see if I could read into those make errors a bit better, especially now that I have XFCE and a web browser to search with. The make errors didn't show up this time around (/shrug) but at the end of the install was a set of 3 instructions instructing the user to add 3 paths to their environment, one of which was the PATH argument listed in the wiki, the other two were for Python and an e17 library. Added them to /etc/profile:
#E17 eas-e17
PATH="$PATH:/opt/e17/bin"
PYTHONPATH=":$PYTHONPATH"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/e17/lib"
And shazaam, Enlightenment works I saw these instruction in previous installs, but dismissed them since 1 was in the wiki instructions, thinking that was all that was needed. I'm considering appending this finding to the wiki.
The new updated install fixed the problem I was having with e17 before Now, lol, however a new one is showing up that might be worse. Now that I can update the snapshot with a single command though I suppose I'll keep e17 around and play with it as updates happen. Thanks for sticking around, if it wasn't for you insistence that the problem probably was a fudged path variable, I might have missed it.

[SOLVED] Adapting conky "# of new emails" script to a message preview

The Conky wiki has a section to display the number of new emails (Gmail) with a python script. It appears that script uses urllib for credentials and then xml.etree to navigate the xml.
I'm trying to adapt the script to display the sender and title, since they exist in the xml.
I've been reading the documentation and after looking at the xml I'm pretty sure I need to use indexing, can't get it to work though.
Here's the script from the wiki with my comments on what I'm trying to add in.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '****',
passwd= '****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
fullcount = tree.find(NS + 'fullcount').text
# attempt to navigate to sender of email (feed/entry/author/name)
firstemailsender = tree[0][5][5][0].text
secondemailsender = tree[0][6][5][0].text
# attempt to navigate to title of email (feed/entry/title)
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
print(fullcount + ' new')
# added print that doesn't work because of other things not working
print (firstemailsender + ' - ' + firstemailtitle)
print (secondemailsender + ' - ' + secondemailtitle)

Hey,
I've re-written the code to use XPath instead of indexing, IMO it's more robust and compact. findall() returns a list of all Elements that match the given XPath. Make sure to include the namespace before each element name in the path (you can see that below when I use findall() to get all "author/name" elements.
The code saves all new mails in an array (mails) full of dicts, each with a 'sender' and 'title' keys. The script will blow up if you have zero or one new emails, but you can trivially check the length of the mails array before printing at the end.
If you have any questions about the code just ask.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '*****',
passwd= '*****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
root = tree.getroot()
mails = []
# only iterate over new mails, which have a tag "entry"
for entry in root.findall(NS+'entry'):
message = {}
# locate sender and title info using XPath (?) again
message['sender'] = entry.findall(NS+'author/'+NS+'name')[0].text
message['title'] = entry.findall(NS+'title')[0].text
mails.append(message)
print(str(len(mails)) + ' new')
print (mails[0]['sender'] + ' - ' + mails[0]['title'])
print (mails[1]['sender'] + ' - ' + mails[1]['title'])

[solved]libgtop 2.30 broke g15stats, what do I do?

Libgtop 2.30 broke g15stats I really want to fix it and don't mind digging my hands a little through the source code to do it, I just have little idea what to do with the code (as in what lines to look for)
Long story short:
#g15stats
g15stats: error while loading shared libraries: libgtop-2.0.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
it is my understanding that this file is now called libgtop-2.0.so.10, but symlinking it to libgtop-2.0.so.7 did me no good.
So how do I fix this?
Edit: Silly me, I found out that the package worked fine if I installed it with yaourt. I assume I just had to recompile it, but this is weird because I had already done this, perhaps I needed to have the linux-headers installed for it to work? what was the catch?
I suspect I just had to compile it again.

[solved] Question about Quotes in Shell-Script

I searched for a way to rename my music album folders strictly to the format '<artist> - <album> (<year>)'. I couldn't archieve this with KRename and didn't find an alternative way so i tried to script it. It's really bad i know, but it works for me. I usually use it to rename a bunch of folders in a zsh for loop 'for i in *; dirn $i | tee -a rename.sh'
The Problem now is some albums have " Quotes in it so the Script fails (Line 56).
http://pastebin.com/rePQev61
Maybe someone here can enlighten me how to get folders like these right in the script:
David Bowie - "Heroes" (1977)
Portugal. The Man - Waiter: "You Vultures!" (2006)
The Crickets - The "Chirping" Crickets (2004)
The Long Blondes - "Couples" (2008)
Last edited by modulation (2010-12-11 09:05:49)

I'm not sure i get this. $newdir is the corrected name for the album folder. I already strip invalid chars in line 47 (sed -e 's/[|\<>%?^:*\/]/_/g'). But i've trouble with the output of the rename command.
I'd like it to output something like:
mv 'crinckets_the_chiping' 'The Crickets - The "Chirping" Crickets (2004)'
so that the newdir really contains the "-Quotes.

[solved]Need help with a bash script for MOC conky artwork.

I need some help with a bash script for displaying artwork from MOC.
Music folders have a file called 'front.jpg' in them, so I need to pull the current directory from MOCP and then display the 'front.jpg' file in conky.
mocp -Q %file
gives me the current file playing, but I need the directory (perhaps some way to use only everything after the last '/'?)
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
thanks, d

You should also quote the variables and output in double quotes to make the code robust, e.g.
filename="$(mocp -Q %file)"
dirname="${filename%/*}"
cp "$dirname"/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
Without the quotes, whitespace will break the code. Even if you don't expect whitespace in any of the paths, it's still good coding practice to include the quotes imo.
thanks for the tip.
here it is, anyhow:
#!/bin/bash
filename=$(mocp -Q %file)
dirname=${filename%/*}
cp ${dirname}/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
then in conky:
$alignr${execi 30 ~/bin/artc}${image ~/backup/art.jpg -s 100x100 -p -3,60}

[SOLVED]A simple question about bash scripting

Just for fun, I thought I'd try making Arch as "parent friendly" as possible (i.e., easy to use once set up). I've already made a nifty little "system maintenance" script that presents you with a "select" bash menu, with options being "Install, Remove, Update [Without AUR, with AUR, abs, exit], Search, Install and Search (using Yaourt), and exit"
That works wonderfully, and it only requires typing "sm" into the terminal.
But just to make it yet *more* "parent friendly", I thought I'd make a .desktop file.
This is the problem.
I want the shortcut to essentially open up the script in a terminal. So it would have to execute, say, "xterm" and then open the "sm" script within the called terminal.
I believe this would mean I need to either add something to my "sm" script or make a new script that opens terminal and calls sm.
I'm sure this has an easy solution, but I'm a total amateur just having some fun.
Any suggestions?

I am not a 100% on .desktop files since I never use them.
but if your command in the desktop file is something like
xterm -e /path/to/your/sm/file
that should work.
EDIT: Bah too late !
