Bash script doesn’t work on Linux Mint

Posted by Raffael on 04/21/201302/09/2017 Posted in Linux, Linux Mint Tagged Dos2Unix, fromdos, Linux, Linux Mint, linux mint bash problem, linux mint bash script

Today I wanted to run (once again) a bash script on Linux Mint. (I had downloaded it from Pastebin.com). But unfortunately nothing happened. Not even an error message. Whereas solution was quite simple. The script was apparently stored with line breaks in Windows format (r), so the bash interpreter couldn’t parse it correctly.
Quick and easy solution was promised by fromdos. To repair the script, you just have to call the following command:

fromdos myScriptFile.sh

Should you have fromdos not yet installed, you can catch up by simply typing the following into a shell window.

sudo apt-get install tofrodos

And now, have fun fix you files! ;)

Meanwhile, I have used Linux Mint for a few weeks and I’m in between, of course, repeatly encountered one or another obstacle. One of them is for example the fact that some programs that are installed by the shell, are only visible to the the Gnome menu, but aren’t showing up in Linux Mint start menu. How to fix this, I want to show you today. (Who does not know the difference between Linux Mint start menu and the Gnome menu should simply click once on the little picture above-left of the article.)
The solution for the problem is a little program called “alacarte”, which you can install by Linux Mint’s software management. After installation, you can freely manage (delete, add and categorize) the entries in the […]

These days you will get faced with the term “cloud” everywhere. I am, for my part, not really a fan of cloud streaming because nearly every solution that I tried did not work without complications.
But in recent weeks, I got friend with a streaming solution within my appartment’s walls. And this solution is what I want to introduce to you today.
At first some information concerning the initial situation. I confess that I am a passionate fan of audio dramas. (I’m really addicted to “The three Investigators”. Some of my friends blaspheme, that I were too old for it, but take it from me, you’re never too old for The Three Investigator because it’s cult!)
However, normally I like to listen to another episode every evening. But to copy every evening […]

create videos in csharp Today there is again a bit of C# code. I’m writing about how you can create video files in C # from individual images or bitmaps. Using the AForge library, which I have used in the already in the C# webcam tutorial, this is going to be relatively simple.
Preparations
For the following tutorial you need the AForge.Video.FFMPEG.dll library and its FFMPEG libraries. Both can be found by clicking the below link. On the downloadpage you have to select that .zip-file, which contains “(libs only)” in it’s filename.

Now open your Visual Studio or an alternative program, that you want to use to write your program. (For the following tutorial I’m using Visual Studio.)
Create a project
Next you create a new project, I decided on a WinForms project, and wait until the Visual Studio has […]
