This is probably an easy one for some of you [SOLVED]

Basically, I have some scripts that sudo netcfg <profile> that I have  a launcher menu setup for in my KDE panel.
The scripts work fine.  They are just bash scripts.  What would be nice is if I could get some visual feedback on the script running, like maybe call open a konsole terminal, run the script, then exit the konsole terminal.  I'm just not sure how to make that happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sure, the command for the launcher should be something like this:
konsole -e /path/to/bash/script
You may need to put a sleep or 'press enter to continue' read at the end of the script if it just runs and exits.  The -e option causes konsole to execute your command and then exit the terminal.

    Just took my vintage 2009 Macbook pro that was having trouble running Lion back down to Snow Leopard. (formatted drive and reloaded SL) How do I get iPhoto, Garage Band, Imovie etc.... in other words the apps that came installed on my 2009 machine when I bought it. They aren't part of the SL install.
    No need to be concerned about my user data/settings/other apps etc... I migrated them over to a new Macbook pro I just purchased using a Time Machine backup. (worked wonderfully) but as I'm sure you know moving anything from a Lion TM backup to a SL machine isn't possible. I've heard there are ways but it's complicated and well all I really want is my 2009 machine to be like it was new and I'll I need for that is what I believe is the iLife stuff (again iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie etc...)

    Thanks for the quick reply wjosten! I didn't get any disks with my computer. I bought it new from the online apple store.. I still have the original box it came in, user guide etc...it came loaded with Leopard but no disks. I had the SL disk as I purchased it to upgrade ( I know I could have downloaded it for free but I wanted a disk for the exact reason as for how I just used it to reinstall SL in case I needed to someday).  In fact, I just bought a 2012 MacBook Pro, picked it up at my local Apple store and it did not come with any disks, same as before, it came with power cord, user guide, cleaning cloth, but no disks. I can understand that apple saves money, time, resources and environmental material by not including disks, but they should make it easy to download these things when you are in trouble and not charge even a small fee. I paid for these apps and merely want to reinstall them on the same machine they orignally came with.

  • This will be an easy one for ya

    Please could you tell me what would be the AS to make my
    button. When clicked show text in another frame. I've been on
    various tutorials. Playing with flash CS for two days now &
    feel dead thick.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not quite sure what you men by 'another frame' but to make a
    button you
    should draw your graphic, then turn it into a MovieClip and
    give it an
    instance name such as 'myButton'. Then, on the main timeline
    you would put
    code like so:
    myButton.onRelease = function(){
    someOtherClip.gotoAndStop("pic");
    If you have another clip, with an instance name of
    'someOtherClip' then it
    will goto and stop on the frame labeled 'pic' when the button
    is released.
    That help?

  • Volume, Dissolves, 50% - An easy one for most of you I'm sure.

    Hi everyone. First time poster here. I hope someone can help me out. I'm a wedding videographer.
    I need to know a few things that will speed up the process of editing a little bit. I'm editing SD footage with Final Cut Pro on a fast G5.
    I have 30 four-second clips on the timeline and I want to reduce the volume on all of the clips to -12 in one go. Is this possible? I don't want to have to keep on doing them all manually together?
    Let's say I have a similar sequence of shots later on in the timeline. This time, I want to make all of the short clips a speed of 50%, in one go, instead of having to do it all manually, one by one. It's very time-consuming this way. Well, it takes two minutes, but I'd rather not do it.
    Also, if there are simple one or two second dissolves between all of these short clips -- how do I go and take away all of the dissolves in one go, so it's just straight cuts?
    Appreciate the help.
    Message was edited by: Roman Bridger

    Hi Shane
    I did this and it's selecting ALL of the dissolves on the timeline. I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
    I'm doing a highlights sequence at the end of a wedding DVD with footage that is copied and pasted into the end of the timeline from elsewhere in the project. This is the reason why I want to get rid of the dissolves and other transitions, so I can start editing this piece fresh. I suppose I could open a new timeline and do it in that.
    I need ALL of the transitions to go, if possible, including Dip to Color Dissolves etc. If it's not possible to do all of the transitions in one go, I can do it in two. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this on the one timeline. For example, if I do it the way you said above, I will end up deleting previous dissolves in the timelines (during the speeches, dancing, ceremony etc).
    Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks!

  • In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

    My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi ya'll.... here is an easy question for all you Dreamweaver
    gurus out there. I want to write my website to a CD so that anyone
    with any web browser can read it. I created it in Dreamweaver. How
    do I accomplish this?

    If it's a static site, get yourself a copy of AutoRun CD.
    You burn two files to your CD along with your site files. One
    is the
    autorun.exe file. The other is an inf text file where you
    specify which file
    on the CD should load first.
    Probably index.html.

  • This is probably not the place for it but I need t...

    So here's the story, a friend of mine had some problems with her Nokia n900, living in Canada we had to buy it from an asian mall but it sill had the warranty and everything so cool. Anyway, she calls Nokia in Canada, they send her a box with shipping and everything, cool so far, right?
    Wrong, they then send the unit back with a broken screen and pry marks where they tried to get into it. She calls them, obviously furious and they tell her they can't do anything and the reason she sent it back was because it's an American model. They told her to contact Nokia in the US, so she did.
    Chapter 2: they at first, without even looking at it, say they can't do anything, then after talking to a supervisor she finally gets them to consider it, supervisor says she will call back... 3 weeks later no call, so we try calling them and the supervisor is never there and there are no notes on the account.
    Eventually we get in contact with her and she says to send the phone in and they will replace it, awesome! Only not... We send it in using the directions they told us to follow, but the person who received it never read any of the directions, they just opened it and fixed it, then wanted us to pay shipping back. (like $30). Since we were told that the unit would be replaced this made us pretty mad, and now they were absolutely refusing to replace it. 
    We eventually get a hold of the supervisor again who said she would try to sort it out, we get a phone call weeks later saying its been replaced and shipped out.
    She opens the box... And its the same one but with a new screen.
    After trying to call Nokia back about it, they are refusing to replace it now that we have it.
    Now she doesn't want to have to deal with it anymore but I am getting pretty upset... .
    If anyone can offer me any assistance or where I could post this to get assistance, that would be great.

    Hi kampai12,
    and sorry for the late reply. There's not much that we in the Nokia Discussions team directly can do, but we can get you in touch with the Care team in Canada to re-open the discussion with them.
    Just email us with your contact details (and any other related relevant information, like possible case numbers) to [email protected] and we'll ask them to be in touch. Please refer to this thread in your email.
    I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

  • An easy fix for some iTunes Match glitches

    I found that some cover art would not display on my iPhone, even though the same album would show cover art on my iMac and on the MacMini, from which it was uploaded to iCloud. Other problems occurred, too weird to describe here.
    Investigating the problem, I found that this was caused by some "stuck" sync attempts, trying to download songs from iCloud to the iPhone.
    Fix:
    1. disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.
    2. Delete all music from the iPhone (right swipe, click delete)
    3. some music will remain and can neither be downloaded nor deleted. These are the "stuck" items that cause the problems.
    4. Attach iPhone to iTunes
    5. Select your iPhone in iTunes, then click on "Music".
    6. You will see the "stuck" songs, greyed out. Most of my problematic songs showed up twice or three times, with a non-moving sync indicator in the first column.
    7. delete these songs (select all, right click, delete). I had to do this twice for some unknown reason. Force a sync and check again, to verify that they are indeed gone.
    Once the songs are gone, disconnect the iPhone from your computer. Check the music application. It should display no songs. Now, go to settings and re-enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Wait until the busy indicator disappears. This may take several minutes, depending on the size of your music library. I assume that this is the time it takes to download cover art and metadata, needed to display the list of albums.
    What is displayed on your iPhone should now match what is in the cloud.
    At this point, I am just guessing, but it seems that the iTunes Match code on the iPhone is not yet 100% bullet proof, and that it can sometimes become confused by a combination of intermittent network connectivity on the iPhone and updates to the iCloud library. Once a sync attempt gets stuck, the affected file seems to be locked and will never display the proper cover art, sometimes affecting the display of the whole album.
    I will keep an eye on this. Probably the code will become more robust over time.

    i got this problem since yesterday.
    at first (a couple of days)  --> i could delete all the songs by a simple sync due itunes....
    --> clean music app
    but now...  everything stuck in itunes match sync
    --> no fix, worked for me
    i thought i had played around with the iphone to much, so i took the ipad...
    and did a VERY CLEAN delete.... close music app --> disable itunes match --> wait for the spinner --> open the musik app --> wait for the spinner --> close music app --> usage --> delete all music --> itunes sync..
    but same problem like on the iphone about 10 songs stuck in itunes match sync... not able to get rid of them.
    on ipad and iphone!  --> strange!
    i tried also to delete all grey songs by (managing music and video manuelly)... after new sync i see the grey songs again.
    i have also noticed that there is a sync problem when you are changing any "Metadata" - cover, ablum, genre... so you have to clean your music app - (fresh itunes match sync)
    so i stuck
    and im not able to sync any new data from itunes match.
    where is the magic? Apple?
    this is like windows ME

  • Hope this helps internet problems for some of you!!!

    Hi...I was experiencing the same problem a lot of folks on here have been dealing with. In short, our MacBooks or MacBook Pro's showing that we were fully connected to a network but unable to get on the internet. I'm by no means a tech expert, but I just got BOTH my MacBook and MacBook Pro working. I sure hope this helps at least a few of you b/c this has been a MAJOR pain for me and it is definitely isolated to the MacBooks. I've got three other Macs and they've never had this issue. Here's all I did:
    I unplugged and actually reset the wireless router by holding down the reset button for 10 seconds. Powered it back up.
    Came back to my computers and once again the signal strength showed I was fully connected. Still no internet though. So...I clicked on the Airport signal strength icon in the upper tool bar. To restate, this already showed that I was connected at full strength but I had no internet. Anyway, I clicked "Other" or "Join Other Network" in the drop down list. In the next pop-up window, I entered the "new" network name. I even just used the exact same network name over again. My particular network used a WEP password, so I put the original WEP password in, clicked OK and bam!...Without even rebooting the computers, the internet is working like a charm on both MacBooks.
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL! Lemme' know if it works!

  • New to MAC  -help with previous systems folder -this should be an easy one!

    My PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) recently crashed due to some corrupt files, per the Genius Bar. I got it up and running with the Leopard upgrade disc as they recommended. Everything went well and on the HD it created a "Previous Systems" folder and everything is in there... (old applications, documents, etc. ... Now what do I do?
    Do I just run the applications (iWork, MS Office, Adobe products, etc.) from that "Previous Systems" folder or should I drag and drop them to the new applications folder, or is it better to delete and reinstall all the programs again? And if I have already opened some of the applications from the Previous Systems" folder will this prevent me from moving them.
    I just want to clean up my laptop and keep it simple... What is the safe and easy thing to do?
    Thanks for all the help... this site is what influenced me to switch from PC to MAC !

  • Help team! I need to find a way to copy the information on a website database to an Excel spreadsheet. It's probably really simple for some of you!

    Hey there!
    So without getting into too much detail, here's my problem:
    I have to take every approved entry from this website: http://eapr.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/CertDetails.aspx
    Then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. I need only 'Declared Articles' from each category (aplliance connectors, etc), and then only a few subfieds in them:
    -Name
    -Certificate Number
    -Model Number
    -Expiry Date
    -Article Class
    -Description (Including volts, amps, watts and hertz if included)
    -Volts
    -Amps (If applicable)
    -Watts (If applicable)
    -Hertz (If applicable)
    At the moment I'm literally copying each entry manually. I can't request a spreadsheet from them, and as you'll see from the website, it's extremely difficult to get these thousands of entries manually. The individual certificates cannot be opened in a new
    tab, let alone copied efficiently.
    So my question to you: is there a way I can create some sort of macro to take the details from the page? What avenues can I take to get there?
    Please note that the Department of Fair Trading is aware of and allows these ventures.
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    Apologies, 'name' referred to the 'Certificate Holder' field.
    Fields should be as below. I'm currently extracting the 'Description' field from each individual certificate, along with the inputs and outputs. The rest is copied then reformatted to suit the current spreadsheet, as it is available on the search page.
