Is there an IDE which supports bash scripts?

Mateo

sublime?

ByteCommander

@Toroidal Where do I have to leave my mail address to get such an amount of animals??? I only get GMX spam...

Mateo

@Toroidal even notepad would "support" writing bash scripts, are you looking for completion highlighting and auto indenting?

user136984

@Mateo Well, I've already got that with nano, but I was looking more for something which would give me a better idea of what I was doing wrong, as it is getting very frustrating! So basically something which could tell me when I write a bit of invalid code, or at least tell me which "fi", closes which "if"! :D

Mateo

3:36 PM

try looking at sublime

But it's not going very well.

Mateo

5:14 PM

@Toroidal check the exit status of the command

then you can use check if it was successful or not and use a simple check to see if it equals 0

user136984

@Mateo How exactly do I do that in a script?

user136984

Do I just run the command and then do an if statement which checks "if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then", or something?

ByteCommander

@RPiAwesomeness Why do you have higher upspeed than downspeed?? That's strange to me...

Mateo

@ByteCommander shared for a library, so they probably limit each computer

ls | grep "netbeans"
    if [[ `echo $?` == 0 ]]; then
            echo "yah beans"
    else    echo "nah beans"
    fi

@Toroidal ^^

RPi Awesomeness

@ByteCommander It's not mine - it's the library. So, I'm guessing that other people are using the wifi and affecting the download speed but not the upload

user136984

5:31 PM

@Mateo So 0 = true, and 1 = false?

Mateo

commands report exit codes, so more like - success and general error (plus there are more codes)

user136984

Ok, but why when I run this command in the script "ls "$nbh" | grep "netbeans-"", do I get this output: "ls: cannot access : No such file or directory"?

user136984

(Before that command comes "set $nbh = "~/"".)

user136984

But when I run basically the same thing just in Terminal normally, it finds something?

Rinzwind

you forgot to tell the script it should use bash? she-bang 1st line?

user136984

5:38 PM

The first line of the script it...:

user136984

#!/bin/bash

user136984

And almost everything else in the script runs fine.

user136984

As this is just a small part of a larger script.

Rinzwind

then I do not know what your problem is :=D

user136984

But all the bits before this work fine.

@Toroidal doesn’t look like it got set

@Mateo What doesn't look like it was set?

Mateo

what does this part do - if grep -q "netbeanshome=''" "/etc/snbjdkhome.conf"; then

user136984

@Mateo That should check if this file "/etc/snbjdkhome.conf" contains this exact string somewhere in it "netbeanshome=''".

user136984

That part of the code is not complete yet.

ByteCommander

@RPiAwesomeness Mine does not look better. I got it 2nd hand from my uncle. No idea how old it is, a sticker says "Designed for XP - Vista capable" so I think it could be about 10 years?

You are not the only one suffering from parents with low budget for IT things... :P

user136984

user136984

elif grep -q "netbeanshome=" "/etc/snbjdkhome.conf"; then
set $nbh =

user136984

What should I get it to equal, and how should I approach that?

user136984

6:02 PM

:)

Thomas W.

*accidentally drops /dev/urandom into the chat*

Mateo

@Toroidal I'm not even sure what you want to do with that bit

user136984

@Mateo I have got a config file and I want it to be so that in that config file if you set "netbeanshome" to equal a custom value (which will be the path to your netbeans folder if it is not in your home area) for the script to make $nbh equal to that.

user136984

I am aiming to automate a task which requires the editing of a file in netbeans.

user136984

So this part of the scripts locates the netbeans installation folder.

Mateo

6:06 PM

so this command finds that value?

user136984

@Mateo This part of the script just checks if you have entered a custom value in the config file, and if not then assumes that the netbeans installation folder is in your home area.

user136984

Well, that's what I am trying to get it to do anyway...

Mateo

I think it is doing something to the opposite effect

user136984

This is basically my first bash script so I wouldn't be surprised if I had done something completely wrong... :(

user136984

@Mateo So what exactly do you mean? And how could I get it to do what I want?

user136984

6:11 PM

:)

Mateo

ok so what do you expect "/etc/snbjdkhome.conf" to look like

user136984

hi @IonicăBizău

user136984

@Mateo Well, unless you make changes to it, it will just read:

user136984

#If not in the /home directory, then please specify where the netbeans-<versionnumber> folder is located
#Default value "/home"
netbeanshome=''

user136984

And if your netbeans installation folder is not located in your home directory, then you specify it here.

Mateo

6:16 PM

ah, so you want to match exactly "netbeanshome=''" as being true

Thomas W.

@Mateo *suggests the use of ` to make codeformatting==true for chat display*

user136984

@Mateo Yes, if they haven't set a custom value I want it to just assume the default, and if they have set a custom value I want it to use that custom value.

Mateo

the second part will be harder

lets work on it being true first

user136984

Email is evil. Many of the features are not standardized, almost guaranteeing that the messages will display incorrectly when customers open them.

It's one of those things I have to just tolerate, I guess.

Mateo

plus I disable images by default ;)

I think I even have, or used to have yahoo run in plain text mode

user136984

@Mateo Yes, and that's what I'm currently stuck with... :(

Thomas W.

@Mateo @Toroidal why rely on external env vars anyways? Wouldn't it be more feasible to pass it in as an argument to the script?

Nathan Osman

@Mateo Usually that just disables remote images though. It's possible to include an image "inline" in the email.

user136984

@ThomasW. No, I decided not to do that. As the point of the script would be so that you wouldn't have to enter all of that information in most instances.

Mateo

6:31 PM

@NathanOsman yeah, I don't like those, don't open anything with attachments ;) - in fact don't open any unknown e-mail

Nathan Osman

No, not attachments. The image data is literally inline in the HTML.

I know what you're referring to, but this is different.

Mateo

that is terrible than

Nathan Osman

Why is it terrible?

Mateo

I just want text in my e-mail...

Nathan Osman

If I were to use it to display the company logo in the corner, I don't think that's a problem, is it?

Thomas W.

6:33 PM

@Toroidal they wouldn't have to - if they have the variable set they can provide $VARIABLE instead of the full path

@Toroidal thereby allowing the argument to end up as null or the path

Mateo

@NathanOsman maybe it's just me...

Thomas W.

such that /path/to/script $IAMATEAPOT would pass $IAMATEAPOT's contents as the argument (if I remember my generic shell scripting)

Nathan Osman

My emails are sent multipart, so if you only want text, you can probably just enable a setting in your email client that displays the text version.

Thomas W.

@Toroidal Therefore, the user could do something like I did here...

% export TESTPATH="/home/teward/testing123/
% ./testscript.sh test test $TESTPATH foo
1: test
2: test
3: /home/teward/testing123/
*: test test /home/teward/testing123/ foo

(pbin.dark-net.net/view/raw/3ef049ad is the script i used for that)

@Toroidal whereby they replace $TESTPATH with the environment variable they already set, i.e. $netbeanshome

solves the "If it's not set" and "If it's set" issues by not having to rely on the env vars existing in the first place

(the test script was my way of showing how it could be provided as an argument without the full path)

Nathan Osman

@Mateo ^--- thoughts?

(The logo is inline.)

Mateo

screen vs tmux + i3 for the ring to rule them all. i liked the concept of i3, but it didn't really fit as well in my usage-flow as i had hoped it would. not the fault of i3, more my fault for using gui stuff too much.

Vader

screen would be useful for servers

Nathan Osman

Well, for a quick-and-dirty hack, yes.

For something more long-term, I'd look into writing a Systemd script.

Vader

Well one step at a time

Rinzwind

@Vader we use screen a lot for server side processes

screen -kmS {name}
from the top of my head

Vader

I guess you could also log into the server more than once, each in a new shell

and

to connect

Vader

I used Ctrl + A -> " to view windows

and I created them with screen -t some_name

still trying to find a way to rename them though, without creating a new one.

Ctrl a -> Shift a, does the trick

It looks like beer! :D

ByteCommander

It is. But I am not drinking it, I'm just looking at it! ;D

user136984

@ByteCommander Why look at it, when you can have it?! :D :P

@Toroidal I can grab into my screen and drink LCD beer? That's new to me...

user136984

@ByteCommander If you close your eyes and concentrate on the image of the beer coming out of the computer and onto the place you want it to be on, if you are the chosen one, when you open your eyes it will be their in front of you! :P ;D

ByteCommander

@Toroidal I would rather imagine a bar of chocolate then. To be honest, that is the only kind of "percentage" I like...

@NathanOsman Would that be a case to use Nitroshare?

Q: Share files with someone over the internet

Someone has left their hard drive at mine and it's a windows one (NTFS). They want to be able to access their files remotely, what's an easy way to do this? (Also, could you explain it to me like I'm 5? I've never been able to get file sharing working properly) Thanks for your help.

file-sharing

If yes, please write it yourself, as I never did anything either with Nitroshare nor with file sharing in general...

@ByteCommander Dude, that sounds almost exactly like mine xD Specs and sticker. Though I'm gonna remove that sticker and leave it with just the Powered by Ubuntu one from System76

@Mateo It's coming...depending on how much noise around the house there is today I might be able to get the audio recording done. Then I've got to edit the actual video.

Mateo

cool

RPi Awesomeness

Hopefully by this weekend...but no promises. For whatever reason, I feel like there just isn't enough content in it :P

Maybe it's just 'cause I haven't got all of the audio yet. Who knows.

ByteCommander

@Mateo You know whether the Q above is a Nitroshare case?

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander Not yet.

It only works on a local network for the time being.

Mateo

9:26 PM

@ByteCommander nitroshare is local network, so not really

RPi Awesomeness

Basically, all it is right now is boot times for Pi 1 vs Pi 2 on a class 4 and then a class 10 MicroSD card :P

ByteCommander

okay. thanks. I did not know that.

RPi Awesomeness

I was going to include startup times for stuff like LibreOffice, GIMP, and MC:Pi, but I was gonna do another video basically asking "Will it Run..." on the Pi 2 and include those in there. Maybe I can include those times in this video and then do different stuff in that.

ByteCommander

Going to bed now (theoretically)... See you all tomorrow! o/

Q: Is there a command that outputs ONLY the packages explicitly installed by the user? (ubuntu/debian)

I have tried searching for this but there seems to be no command that can output a list of packages (ideally in Ubuntu) that I have installed, not including any dependencies.

ubuntu command-line apt aptitude

Q: Support Ubuntu, quit Windows

When I went to purchase a Laptop, I found that most comes with an installed Windows. I think this is a kind of business trick that Windows is using to keep its popularity. People are forced to pay for Windows no matter whether you like it or not. As a community which strongly support Ubuntu, do w...

RPi Awesomeness

Currently using an old Dell QuietKey PS2 keyboard 'cause my brother wants to play Minecraft on my Raspberry Pi and the other USB (Bluetooth) keyboard we have isn't working :P. Gosh this thing is mushy.

10:45 PM

I'm testing email rendering in different clients and one of those was Yahoo! Mail. I signed into my old account to test it out and quickly remembered why I don't use Yahoo! Mail at all.

Those ads make my eyes bleed.

Mateo

yeah, I install a plugin for that...

and they stopped letting you delete spam automatically :(

RPi Awesomeness

10:58 PM

@NathanOsman Yeah. Yahoo's web client is just gosh awful

Nathan Osman

Anyone want to test receiving one of the emails?

Mateo

@NathanOsman sure you can send me one over ;)

Nathan Osman

@Mateo: I don't think I have your email address... if you want to send it to me, you can just shoot a blank email to nathan@nitroshare.net.

I thought I had it but I can't seem to find it :P

Oh, hang on. I found it.

Email has been sent.

Mateo

looks good in inbox

Nathan Osman

I sent it also to the other email you gave me.

Mateo

11:08 PM

did you decide against the logo?

Nathan Osman

It was getting blocked by some clients.

Mateo

ah

Nathan Osman

Hmm... Yahoo! seems to be blocking mail from my server's IP address.

That is extremely weird.

Mateo

mmm... yeah another strike against yahoo.

I'm about ready to just start giving everything my gmail address

Nathan Osman

It worked sending from @quickmediasolutions.com.

I guess nitroshare.net was a really bad domain back in the day :P

Mateo

11:13 PM

oh, maybe a block then, yikes

Nathan Osman

Heh, seems like the other one retried and finally went through.

Have you received two in your Yahoo! account?

Mateo

yep

Nathan Osman

Heh... Yahoo is getting added to my "unreliable delivery" list.

Mateo

yeah, Ive noticed that there are things that get a great delay through it

Nathan Osman

Alright, time to begin sending the emails out then.

RPi Awesomeness

11:22 PM

@TheX Are you around?

Obviously not in chat, but I'm hoping he's on SE

Nope. Never mind :P

Crap

Nathan Osman

There. Emails have been sent. By hand.

RPi Awesomeness

That moment in Minecraft when you accidentally make two diamond leggings when you only meant to make one

#Facepalm

Eh. Could be worse. Diamond Hoe for instance.

Seth

A diamond hoe uses less diamond..

but I suppose it is inherently useless.

RPi Awesomeness

Exactly.

Double Diamond pants isn't too bad, you can always use them

TheX

11:39 PM

@RPiAwesomeness just for a moment, getting ready to go for a walk...

@RPiAwesomeness just through it in a chest, someone will use it...

@RPiAwesomeness not sure what to tell you about your diamonds though...

RPi Awesomeness

@TheX That's not actually what I was pinging out about, I'm fine with having 2 pair of diamond leggings.

I was stuck down in my mine without a pickaxe, but I got my way out :)

I struck the motherload cave, got 23 diamonds in one go I think? Plus a crap ton of iron, gold, and redstone.
