Midnight Commander, Mc, Change Color From Shell Depending On File Extension...

I already know how to change themes but I'm quite fond of the Ambiance pack that I'm using. My problem is a slight annoyance, yet an annoyance nonetheless. I want to know how to change the Panel/Menu bar color to my choosing as it doesn't fit with the rest of the window. It is present in the default, out of box Ubuntu, just open your browser or any other window (preferably in Maximized mode as it is more apparent) and look at the Menu Bar/Panel.

Notice the Top and Bottom Colors are of different shades. This is what has been bothering me so much, and it occurs in every window be it maximized or windowed, and not just in Chrome.

I would like to now how to make it so that the colors match, either being the bottom part is as light as the top, or the top part is made as dark as the bottom, or even a different color altogether, as long as it matches. And if possible as the preferred alternative, as this would be the most aesthetically pleasing while also being the most unlikely, could there be a blurred transition effect between the Top and Bottom portions so that it would flow into each other naturally instead of clashing against each other. Though this alternative would be nice, I understand if that is not possible and I will settle for the two colors to match.

Hi there. My environment is Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have an example of the files I create with gfortran and gnuplot. The gnuplot draws this picture from a data file with 2D Cartesian coordinates. It is perpective projection. I need to color some parts of the plot (various lines) in different colors because some other details must also be drawn and I feel that the resulting network will be confusing. Gnuplot user manuals treat this subject but only in conjunction with lines drawn through a formula like sin(x), etc. I don't have that. All I have is columns of floating point numbers. Is there way I can draw lines of different color with gnuplot 4.6?

Thanks, - A.

Hi,

This might be odd, but in GNOME Shell 3.10.4 in fedora 20, I used to throw the mouse to the top left of the screen and that would make me feel excited about having all the open windows jam packed and then again selecting one I wanted. It really gave me a thrill.

But, in GNOME Shell 3.14.4, fedora 21 (workstation), I have to "click" on the "activities" on the top-left :-((

Is there any way I can change GNOME Shell 3.14.4 in way to have that feature back?

Hello,

OS: CentOS 6.3

Background:
I'm trying to set up a situation where my FTP account is in a group where my phpbb forums were created. This will allow me to upload changes as I customize my forums (ie: .css files). However, right now, my problem is that I'm running into invalid permissions and the only way to move the files is to upload the file to a directory my FTP account has access too and then sudo cp the file over. Upon closer inspection of my files, it appears the groups the files have been made under are not the correct group.

Problem:
I am trying to use chgrp on a specific file to change the group owner to the group my FTP account is a member of but it does not seem to be working. Here is a snippet of what I'm doing:

Code:

zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ sudo chgrp apache colours.css -v
group of `colours.css' retained as apache
zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ ls
total 164
drwxr-xr-x 3 5645316 apache  4096 Mar 27 15:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 5645316 apache  4096 Nov 18  2012 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1  root     apache 23480 Mar 27 19:05 colours.css

I'm not sure why it still says root so I suspect I am doing something incorrect. When looking around, at first it seemed chgrp could change group owner on files but as I dug more, it seemed it can also change groups themselves. So I'm a little confused and require some clarity of experts.

I hope changing the group owner of this file will give access to my FTP account so I can apply this change to all needed locations.

Thanks.

Guys,
Is there a way to change the font color, within my local terminal, every time I SSH into another machine?

I know I can set it up on each individual remote machine by adding something to my bashrc file. But, I ssh into 50 or so machines and would prefer not to ssh into each individual one. There may not be another way though?

TIA!

HI Everyone, need a shell script which checks size of a directory and if it gets greater than 1 GB then delete all the files in it.

ex: dir : /var/log/

/log contains numerous .log files, so script should delete .log files always when /log size is greater than 1 GB , it should not delete the directory

i'm setting up arch linux and trying to get a workable interface to mess around with my configuration files and the like. i got bspwm working with bar and sxhkd works fine to open termite or firefox/vimperator for starters. i set up ~/.config/termite/config for both root and my user the best i could based on the information available on the 'net. the fg/bg colors seem to have changed, but all my other colors are just default like in the login shell, when all my colorn = #digits options are obviously all blue-hued.

~/.config/termite/config:
Code:

[options]
resize_grip = false
scroll_on_output = true
scroll_on_keystroke = true
audible_bell = true
visible_bell = false 
mouse_autohide = true
dynamic_title = true
urgent_on_bell = true
clickable_url = true
scrollback_lines = 1024
icon_name = terminal
transparency = 1.7
pseudo_transparency = false
cursor_blink = system 
cursor_shape = block
padding = 2
border_width = 0.5
roundness = 2.0
browser = firefox
font = Terminus 12
foreground = #9999ff
background = rgba(33, 33, 66, 0.6)
hilight = #333366
color0 = #333366
color8 = #333399
color1 = #6666cc
color9 = #9999ff
color2 = #0099cc
color10 = #00ccff
color3 = #3366cc
color11 = #6699ff
color4 = #006699
color12 = #0099cc
color5 = #0066ff
color13 = #0099ff
color6 = #669999
color14 = #66cccc
color7 = #99cccc
color15 = #ccffff

i'm still having trouble getting around and figuring out to ex. copy from vim to vimperator and stuff so i'll add any of my dotfiles if anyone thinks they'll help.

edit: i also made zsh my default shell on all of my accounts. this is the global zshrc in /etc/zsh/zshrc:

Code:

autoload -U run-help
autoload run-help-git
autoload run-help-svn
autoload run-help-svk
unalias run-help
alias help=run-help 

setopt HIST_IGNORE_DUPS

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export EDITOR="vim"
export SXHKD_SHELL=$(which sh)

eval $(dircolors ~/.dircolors)

alias ls="ls -a --color"

autoload -U colors && colors

PROMPT="{$fg_no_bold[green]%}%# %{$reset_color%}"
RPROMPT="%{$fg_no_bold[blue]%}%~%{$reset_color%}"

I have a directory structure and files I wish to change permissions on, but I don't want to change permissions on every file/subfolder along the way. Example: I want to chown all files in dir4 where my directory struture is:
/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/*
However, both dir3 and dir4 are owned by root:root so I need to change the ownership on those directories as well. But, if I do:
chown -R user:group /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/
...it will indeed make dir4 and it's files accessible, but it doesn't change dir3 - so folks still can't get to the files they need. I thought about doing:
chown -R user:group /dir1/dir2/dir3*
... but that will give users access not only to dir4 and it's files, but any other files under dir3 which I don't want.

My work around has been to do a chown on /dir1/dir2/dir3 and then a second chown on /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/, but I am thinking there has to be a way to do what I want in a single chown command - right?
