[robvelor]

[metalx1000]

@robvelor: No Problem

[holalluis]

thanks! it works! I think it's time to learn some Apple Script language! ;)

[holalluis]

hi! thank you for this, I'm learning a lot with your videos. How about adding an "apt-get install zenity" in the first line of the script? I'm a Mac OS X user, do you know any alternative to zenity? thank you!

[metalx1000]

@holalluis:

Try something like this:

osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Hello World'

6:29 You were listing out systems, and you said: "Natural UNIX systems". For people that don't know, or think you can't get Natural UNIX anymore, BSDs, like FreeBSD, actually are Natural Unix (By that I mean they contain original Unix source code), and also, there is a Project, called V7/x86, witch is a port of V7 Unix to the PC.

[metalx1000]

@merkur32123: I said, "Actual UNIX systems", but yes, BSD is a direct descendant of UNIX were Linux is more of a distant relative. MacOS would also be a descendant of UNIX since it switched and started using code from FreeBSD and NetBSD. Or at lest a half brother :)

@metalx1000 Did you figure out why you were getting errors sometimes?

[metalx1000]

@Kuta1612: No, I haven't really messed with it since I did the videos on it.

[aisbaa]

why variables is wrapped in ""? like "$folder".. thanks in advance

[metalx1000]

@aisbaa: Putting variable and strings in quotes isn't always necessary, but it's a good habit to get into in case there are spaces in the string.

This guy is great!!!! How long have you been learning Linux?

[metalx1000]

@trailingdot: I've been a Linux User for about 6 years now.

Quite the contrary, the scripts main controller should be set to negative, but nice try on this little tea time project for a beginner.

[metalx1000]

@3amDragon: I'm not sure what you are talking about. Forgive me if I misunderstand, but it seems like you are trying to insult me. Might have worked if I understood your comment. "Quite the contrary"? Quite the contrary to what?

[18andupization]

@metalx1000

Dragon here is right. These applications are horrible. How could this work for the consumer's personal modules? The conroller should in fact be set to negative.

[metalx1000]

@18andupization: I'm sorry, still don't know what you are two are talking about.

[18andupization]

@metalx1000

Com on dude! Just take in the information and apply it where possible!

[IsoChronious]

DAMN! Is there anything in Linux you DON'T know how to do?! I thought I was good with Linux!

[scorici]

Great, thanks !

You forgot the link...

[metalx1000]

@gadgetmanubuntu: It's there. Maybe it was a youtube glitch, but it's there now.
