Hi There - hope someone can help.

I am trying to configure 'Liquid Weather' on the desktop. So far I have some things that are showing ok. When I try and edit the script I have got a bit stuck, the following files when I look in my root dir seem to be in a different place to where the script indicates.

mountpoint /home /mnt/hda1 hdb

also can't find

networks eth0 /sbin/ip addr show eth0

My questions is if - when I find these files, should I copy them to the location of 'Liquid Weather' to get it to run.


Thanks for looking

read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Could you please post a copy of (parts of) the script, and point at the faulty line(s)?

Exactly which files? `mountpoint /home /mnt/hda1 hdb'?
There probably is no file called `mountpoint'--that's just the technical term for `the directory in which you mount <foo>' (= "foo's mountpoint").

now `hdb' is probably only the correct path to the file you want if you're in /dev;

but having /dev/hda1 mount at /home -- that makes sense.

Unfortunately I don't have the context--so please post the script as I said.

Thank you jonaskoelker for trying to answer my question, just sorry I did not explain myself to well. Here is the script I am stuck on.

I need to enter the correct details for this script but cannot find where they are on my system, and also if I find where they are, what do I do next.

Sorry this sounds such a stupid question but not had much experience of this.

Thanks again for trying to help.

Could you try to state clearly:
1) What you're trying to do--seen both from a user's POV and from a programmers POV.
2) How you're trying to do it.
3) What the exact problem is.

Hi again -

It's a bit difficult for me to explain so please bear with me.

# I have installed 'Liquid Weather' on the desktop ok but some of the figures do not correspond to what I have on my system. So I would like to edit the scipt so that it will show the correct figures.

At the moment it indicates that /home has 422mb/1%
/hda1 has 0 mb/0%
/hdb has 0 mb/0%

The newwork configuration has Down: 0 kb/s
Up: 0 kb/s
IP:

Firstly I would like to find out where and what /hda I have on my system

Second I would like to be able to enter my IP address, but don't know where to find it.

If I find answers to the above questions, what do I have to do if the file is in the wrong place

# I hope the above makes some sense to you so please forgive my ignorance.

Thanks again

You can always try 127.0.0.1 or localhost (they're always "this computer").
but also
Errm... which file?

You're willing to learn. That's infinitely more important than how much you know *now*.

Thanks again for your reply

Here is the output of $df -h


Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 5.8G 2.5G 3.0G 46% /
/dev/hda6 106G 425M 106G 1% /home

Here is the output of $show ip addr

$No such command

Now that I have the info about the /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda6 how can I find the address( or place ) where these are kept. When I find that info, do I insert that in the script.

#
Have tried entering several different combinations of the $show ip addr but still cannot get any info on that.
Maybe you might have another suggestion.

Thanks again for your help - just sorry that I am painfully slow in picking things up

It's "ip addr show", not "show ip addr".

if you, on `$ ip', get `no such command', try these:
What to you mean "the place where they're kept"? Where what are kept? You mean the mount points of /dev/hda1 and -6?

The mount points are shown by `df -h'.

I'm still not sure what info you're trying to find.

Thanks again Jonas for your reply. Still not able to solve this problem so have decided to start again.
Many thanks for your time and attention, much appreciated. Good Luck.

You're welcome
