Your thread came up as the third hit on a google search for zenity, xargs and printf, so I thought I'd better post the solution. This block is for showing partitions rather than drives, and it displays the partitions in the correct order. Previous attempts using the '-printf' option of find showed them in some strange order.
Hi!
does someone know how can I setup a zenity entry "box" such that comes with the data as default.
like it appears an entry box already with the data but it can be modify.
thanks (2 Replies)
Hello
I've a script where I've a zenity --question because I want to ask the user if he is sure that he wants to delete the file.
The problem is, if the user says "OK" it deletes nad if the user says cancel it deletes :)
How can I close the script if the user says cancel??
thanks (3 Replies)

But then in "do someghing " when i click i want to return to the MAIN MENU
So something like:

Hey guys i wrote this code but it wont give me anything.

Hello,
I have a script with zenity file, but I want to know the file name and path, but this way I just take the name of the file.
fl1=`zenity --file-selection --title="Seleccionar fichero"`
basename $fl1 .txt > temp
nom=`cat temp`
Thank you very much (1 Reply)
I have a large system housekeeping script, that I want to use with zenity.
One of the processes will be to conduct a virus scan, which I can easily do with something like:
clamscan -rv / | zenity --text-info --width 640 --height 640
The problem is that it needs user intervention by... (2 Replies)
All,
I'm having fighting a losing battle with what I though would be simple.
My goal is this: Show a zenity progress or info dialog until the system obtains an ip address, then close the dialog and continue through the rest of the script.
Right now I've got the following:
ip=`ifconfig |... (2 Replies)
I am trying to display a string in zenity:
chars="\, /, <, >, ?, |, &, $"
echo $chars
\, /, <, >, ?, |, &, $
Now when I execute:
zenity --forms --text="Chars not allowed: $chars" --add-entry="File Name"
Instead of getting Chars not allowed: \, <, >, ?, |, &, $ I am getting Forms... (3 Replies)
Hello all,
I am using zenity for my final project in class and need some help. I am trying to create a text based game and in this game you pick up items, I want to store those items in a .txt file and be able to recall them later and remove a SPECIFIC item from the list after it has been... (4 Replies)

bup-margin
bup-margin(1) General Commands Manual bup-margin(1)NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin
SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...]
DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two
entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids.
For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit
hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by
its first 46 bits.
The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits,
that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits
with far fewer objects.
If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if
you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits.
OPTIONS --predict
Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer
from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm.
--ignore-midx
don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict.
EXAMPLE
$ bup margin
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
40
40 matching prefix bits
1.94 bits per doubling
120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining
4.19338e+18 times larger is possible
Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets
like yours, all in one repository, and we would
expect 1 object collision.
$ bup margin --predict
PackIdxList: using 1 index.
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
915 of 1612581 (0.057%)
