Application: Linux System Script

Awesome can you try this one

Little better, picked up the distro name this time correctly, although still showing both Ubuntu and Debian ASCII art. Note a new line of text from lsb_release above the two errors.

yeah the NO LSB modules is just because nothing is installed maybe due to X not being there but not sure

sorry to ask again but can you try this one

Heh I'd suspect not too many people with server-only installs are going to worry about this sort of script anyway, I was just trying it out of curiosity. It's not a bother, not doing anything important today. I see you got the stray Debian logo out of it this time.

echo $display

Non-existant.

root@server7:~# echo $DISPLAY

root@server7:~#

Edit Derp -- I'm going through SSH, no forwarding, so that won't exist I think. Enabled X forwarding in my client, new result. It's my day off, I left the brain at my other desk.

root@server7:~# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

with x forwarding are you still getting the same two errors?

Yes -- X is enabled in the client, but it's still not actually installed on the server, nor do I have the Mate desktop. Those two will always return errors for setups like mine. Same result in the script as in my previous post. For me I'm not terribly worried about it, just passed it along in case you're hate leaving loose ends like I do.. I'd guess not a whole lot of interest in something like this for a server install.. they make for boring screenshots. :D

hmmm i though i had fixed this lol

*buntus carry over the /etc/debian_version

this is why it picks up as debian

when did you download it?

download this one and try it maybe i forgot to update the file

http://www.haggistech.co.uk/ubuntutest.tar.gz

yeah as max says

open a terminal

go to the filder the script is in so for example

cd /home/haggis[/CODE]

do

[CODE]chmod +x stats.sh[/CODE]

then do

[CODE]./stats.sh[/CODE]

Thanks.

This might sound stupid but when I CD my directory, says it's "No such file or directory"

I am pretty sure it's correct. I have it in my Documents folder /home/bman/Documents

What am I doing wrong?

This might sound stupid but when I CD my directory, says it's "No such file or directory"

Is the capitalization correct when you're typing it? *Nix is case sensitive, throws me off all the time. "documents" and "Documents" are two different directories as far as Linux is concerned where out of the box Windows won't care either way, easy mistake to make if you bounce back and forth a lot. Most file managers have a "Open terminal here" sort of context menu too if it helps any, depends on which file manager you're using.. some aren't as flexible/convenient as others.

I have tried it both ways without luck.

And no option like that in my file manager. Default Ubuntu 12.04...

Best file manager? Any out there with tabs?

Nautilus - the default file manager in Ubuntu - is my favorite file manager, and it does have tabs. You can either go to "File->New Tab" to open a new tab or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+T". You can also add an "Open in Terminal" option to the Nautilus context menu as described here.

    • Plenty of nations have risen from the ashes of war and today they have high standards of living. Maybe the problem is that your government is run by corrupt and power hungry terrorist organizations that keep the country in the **** because all they care about is filling up their pockets and maintaining their power instead of actually managing the country for the benefit of everyone.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux by David Uzondu Image via Proton The team at Proton has released a command-line interface for Proton Drive to let users manage their encrypted files directly from a terminal across all major platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux. The CLI supports the usual filesystem tasks like listing directories, moving files to the trash, downloading remote folders, handling invitations, and exporting these outputs with the --json flag to pass structured data directly into automated deployment scripts or run scheduled backups through cron. Here are some commands you can run with Proton Drive CLI: proton-drive auth login starts authentication through your browser. proton-drive filesystem upload ./reports/* /my-files/Reports --conflict-strategy skip uploads local documents while skipping files that already exist on the server. proton-drive sharing status /my-files/Reports checks the sharing status and permissions of a folder. proton-drive sharing invite --user [email protected] --role editor --message "Please review reports" /my-files/Reports invites a collaborator to a shared folder with editor access and a custom message. Proton said that in the future, the CLI will gain support for managing photos, sharing files and folders via secure public links, creating custom albums, and switching between multiple accounts. To install the tool on macOS and Linux, you download the pre-built binary and make it executable by running chmod +x proton-drive in your terminal. The operating system stores your active login session securely using native tools like macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager. Alternatively, those who prefer building the program from source can clone the repo, install dependencies using Bun, test the build, and compile the TypeScript code directly. The new CLI lands just days after Proton announced that it had completely rebuilt Drive's engine from scratch to make the cloud storage "3x faster on all platforms." This performance jump comes from a unified Drive SDK that replaces legacy platform-specific codebases and executes cryptographic tasks four times faster to reduce battery drain and heat generation on mobile devices. This shared engine also allows Lumo, Proton's AI assistant, to read and process drive files without breaking the system's end-to-end encryption protocols.
    • But that uses the same engine as Chrome and Edge, so at some point will have the same issues.
