| Create System Report GUI |
|

This is what I've done so far.
Added: A question to start the process
Progress bar to display messages as the report continues
A question to display the results
Problem is next:
$HOME environment variable prints out /root when the script is run with 'gksudo'
If we have a script
Code: #!/bin/bash
# This script is /usr/scripts/some_script
echo $HOME
Code: $ gksudo /usr/scripts/some_script
/root
So it's saving the report in the '/root' directory
Solution:
Running the script with 'gksudo -k /usr/scripts/systeminfo'
From man gksu
--preserve-env, -k
Preserve the current environments, does not set $HOME nor $PATH,
for example.
Here is the full script:
Code: #!/bin/bash

| Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor for LL2.0 ? |

I have a 64bit Win 7 - LL2 dual boot set-up on my Asus X71Q laptop.
Within Win 7, downloading the Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor increased my internet connection speed from 150 Mb/s to 300 Mb/s, which makes a significant difference when downloading larger files. However, on LL2.0, my connection speed is only 150 Mb/s. Is there an Ubuntu version of the AR928x adaptor, that I can download for LL2.0, that will hopefully boost my internet connection speed to around 300 Mb/s? Many thanks for any help.
Kind regards
Mike

| How to have default terminal open at specific size and location? |

Posted by: CuriousGuy - 11-30-2014, 06:09 AM - Forum: Other

I believe the default Terminal that comes with LL 2.0 is LXTerminal. I've got the color settings I want (from Edit -> Preferences -> Style). But I can't figure out how to have the window always open at a given size and at a given location. I read somewhere that almost all stuff like that is handled by conf files but I couldn't find one for the terminal.
Is there an easy way a noob can edit the configuration file to have LXTerminal open at a given size and location?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/links/etc you can provide. Any and all help is appreciated.

| Whisker Menu Keyboard Shortcut |

While easy to add it on my own, I'd recommend adding a default Whisker Menu shortcut in the distro.
For others interested, I went to Keyboard settings and in the Applications Shortcuts tab I set the Super key to the command xfce4-popup-whiskermenu. Now I can quickly press Super and begin typing an application name.

Almost daily I encounter a new problem with Linux Lite.
Today I decide to play Christmas music saved on my external hard drive and get the following message:
No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Currently installer only gives option for V2.83. This apparently no longer works with IPlayer. It says Version 2.90 is the new version to use. Is there a way to download and install this version with all the necessary dependencies. Tks.

| USB drive Storage Summary |

I've been working on this for some time.
This script will calculate USB drive Storage Summary
it's convinient for the USB sticks
It will display what type of files you have on your drive/stick and their size in KB and KiB
Save it anywhere you like, make executable, insert your USB Flash drive or drives and wait until they get auto-mounted.
Then start the script.
Code: #!/bin/bash
# store the devices list
list=/tmp/devices
# get a list of devices
devs=`ls -al /dev/disk/by-path/*usb*part* 2>/dev/null | awk '{print($11)}'`
if [[ ${?} != 0 || -z ${devs} ]]
then
zenity --warning --text "No USB Mounted!"
exit
fi
# Check with user to make sure they mounted usb stick, no use wasting time
zenity --question --title="REMEMBER" --text="Make sure your usb disk is mounted\nDo you want to continue?" --ok-label="Yes" || exit
# Initialize list and make sure it is empty
>$list
# Now get the info about our devices and put it in a list
for dev in $devs; do dev="${dev##*\/}";
echo "FALSE" >> $list;
echo -n "$dev" >> $list;
echo " " >> $list;
echo `cat /sys/block/${dev:0:3}/device/vendor 2>/dev/null` >> $list;
echo `cat /sys/block/${dev:0:3}/device/model 2>/dev/null` >> $list;
echo `lsblk 2>/dev/null | grep \`echo -E ${dev}\` |awk '{print($4)}' `B >> $list;
