Minimal BASH Like Line Editing Is Supported For The First Word TAB List Possible Comm

Hello everybody,

My system specifications: Samsung RV509, i3, 300GB HDD, 3GB Ram, Dual boot Windows7 & LM 17 cinnamon 32bit.

I have OpenOffice preinstalled on my system. I would like to create 'kannada' language word documents and be able to save them as windows .doc type file and/or .pdf file. [Kannada is the language of a state in south India.]

In case of windows; some 'kannada' language softwares called as 'Baraha' and 'Nudi' are available, that can be installed on a windows pc and 'kannada' language word documents can be created there.

These 'kannada' language softwares are not available for Linux.

However I want to be able to create 'kannada' language word documents on my Linux machine.

Is this possible? Could someone please kindly help me in this regard? I would be greatfull.

Thanks & Regards

Anil

Ok yes this is a homework assignment BUT I am NOT looking to have the answers given to me. I am in the 6th week of my first Linux class ever and we are in our few weeks of beginning scripting. I have some ideas of what to do or where to start but not many and no one to bounce any ideas off...we are using UNIX Bash shell so any others I have no clue. The scenario is that I need a script that searches all my users home directories for bad words. I need the script to report to the screen certain info like username and word found and path. It should ask a user if it is good or bad and if bad be put into a file of list of bad file names, if good remove from list and no longer flagged by the script. What I have so far is wanting to somehow do a loop. I do know that if I do a grep -r -e kill -e steal /home/* I get a list of what I need. I also know that the list is separated by delimiters which I can pipe to get a variable for the things I need. I also know that I can put it to a file with a > filename.txt

What I have no clue is how to start a loop that would do this...

for each line in filename.txt
UNAME=...
LOC=...
TXT=...
echo "Username: $UNAME, Line with bad word found: $TXT, and Path and file name: $LOC. Is this a BAD file? (Y)"
Read YORN

if ["$YORN" = "Y" ]; then
>> (line of text from grep) badfiles.txt
fi

Next or whatever goes there...sorry if this is crazy I just really need some direction. I am trying to learn so please don't give me the answer...that will do nothing for me and I will not be able to explain the code I came up with.

I compose on a Dell laptop model #Latitude D505. I have Xubuntu 12.04 (it won't upgrade) on it. Here are the Dell's specs:

Quote:
Dell Inspiron 8600 (Pentium M 710 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD)
And it has 20 GB free space. I guess on paper it should run the Xubuntu easily but it is deadly slow. Most of the things I do in the terminal don't complete (I tried to install Dropbox--no luck.). Sometimes I can't even open the Ubuntu Software Center, let alone install stuff from there.

I have LibreOffice 4.2 something on there and that is all I need. Like I was saying Dropbox would be nice though.

So I stared checking out lighter distros. (I was told Xubuntu was one of the lightest--btw I have two desktops with Xubuntu on them as well--distros out there but was shocked when I started investigating.) (see screenshot)

So as long as I can install a relatively recent version of LibreOffice (and like I said Dropbox would be nice) I will be happy.

To reiterate: I'm just using the laptop as a word processor. Yes, I would have to be online (and can be) to use Dropbox but Dropbox is not essential.

Btw. The libreoffice on there now works well (once it gets going) as a word proccesor, but with all those distros that are so much smaller I was thinking that I could even improve on the word processor's speed.

Thanks.

Note: Ubuntu 14 latest release

I am a highly experienced unix user with many years of experience. However, I retired 13 years ago so I can't remember some simple things so forgive me for posting here.

I am trying to use the "zenity --list --radiolist" command. Now this requires that the list of items be last and be of the form FALSE <item name> as in FALSE "Choice 1" FALSE "Choice 2" That's easy without variables. It would be zenity --list --radiolist [other options here] FALSE "Choice 1" FALSE "Choice 2 Works fine.

But what I have is a list of choices in an array. Each of these is a string of multiple words and I have tried (nearly?) everything using echo command piped into zenity (supposed to work) to including an array element in the line with all sorts of quotes, single quotes, escaping quotes, etc. I have even included the "FALSE" in the variable so as not to have to generate it. Nothing works. When using the set -x, it shows that the shell has put a single quote around each word which makes each word a separate parameter.

I have searched all sorts of examples of zenity but the requirement for the word "FALSE" between each item while using variables is never shown.

If anyone has a working example of something like this (or any simple alternative:
JTemp[3]="This is a string"
echo "FALSE "${Jtemp[3]} | zenity --list --radiolist --text "Select Topic" --column "Topic" --column "Pick one" which should display a radiobox with one entry, I would appreciate it. I could then expand it to include all the array elements.

I know I am doing something simple wrong. I just can't figure it out.

Note that I am writing this on a windows machine and using a non-internet-connected linux machine for my work so if I typed the command line wrong, it may be a problem here and not on the real machine.

Thanks for any help.

I am looking to display the w (who) command to show only the

This shows some what hard to read and the columns don't line up correctly


is there a way to tab them in to columns that line up properly, or even something similar to the TOP command where the list will keep refreshing?

I installed Linux Mint on my Dell Latitude D630 Wi Fi and I love it!! While the lap top was wired to the internet, I could do anything I wanted to do.

But I have wifi. And, the steps I found online did not help me get wifi set up.

When I type "iwconfig" from the command line, it says "no wireless extensions"

Please help. I need this.

Hi all ,
I have a requirement where I have a file. Contents of the file are :
#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678-vg="https://www.bhy.com"
IC-gy_567:78="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments
The variable names can not have characters like - , : so
in this file I have to find words starting with IC and replace characters like - ,:
I want to change only the variable name , not the whole line.
I have used SED command

sed -i '/^IC/s/[^0-9 a-z A-Z _]*//g' file

when I am using this command , it is replacing the whole line
output becomes :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABGhttpswwwabccom
IC5678vghttpswwwbhycom
ICgy56778httpswwwgytcom
#comments


But I want the output like this :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678vg="https://www.bhy.com"
ICgy_56778="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments

How can I get the desired output , thanks for your help in advance .

Hi all! Just joined. First post.

Looking around Amazon.com I see that there are a lot of books out there. I was wondering if there were a small number that were generally considered to be the best for a newbie to learn Ubuntu and the command line.

I am a Windows refugee having bought a clean machine from System76 in May 2014 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed. I got my first computer back in the early 90's and actually liked DOS! Kind of full circle I guess.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like to learn how to create a zip file. The word zip file is a Windows/Microsoft word. I do not know what word is used in Linux OS.
What I am trying to do is send a copy of an internet radio show. The show is two hours long. When I try to attach the audio file to an email. I am told the file is too large.
I have permission from the host of the radio show to make a copy and send it to a friend.
