OK, you just finished installing the latest and greatest openSUSE 12.3, but now, all of your favorite bash scripts are not there. Well, do not despair, you can get them all using a single bash script. Of course, we are talking about the 27 or so bash scripts I have written that work with openSUSE 12.3. Just copy the following text inside the code block shown below into your favorite text editor like kwrite or gedit and save it as the file bsl (Bash Script** L**oader) in your local $HOME/bin folder (It is kind of funny that it starts with bs ain’t it!).
Save as the file $HOME/bin/bsl
#!/bin/bash

# End Of Script
In order to use the script, it must be marked executable. Open up a terminal session after you have saved this bash script and run the following terminal command:
chmod +x $HOME/bin/bsl
The bash script contains all of my recent work. Before you save it, look through the categories and remark out any lines you will not need. For instance there are three for compiling a Linux kernel and two for anyone using the nVIDIA driver. If its not needed, just add a remark # indicator at the start of that line and it will not be downloaded when you run the bsl bash script file. None of the script files will be run, but only downloaded for you. You must run them one by one before they can be used. To start the download, open up a terminal session and run this bsl bash script as:
bsl
You must confirm you are ready for the bsl bash script to be run. After running bsl, have a look in your $HOME/bin folder for the names of the files you have downloaded. The very first script I would run is nsf (New Script File) and the second is sysedit (System File Editor), both of which create KDE Icons for you on your desktop after the first time they are run from terminal. To run these scripts, open up a terminal session and type the command(s):
nsf
AND
sysedit
Also, some files, such as Grub2Cmd, will be installed in the /usr/local/bin folder and need root user authority to be installed there. To use these, open up a terminal session and type in the command(s):
grub2cmd
This application will also create KDE & Gnome icons for you to use after the first time run from terminal. Using this bsl bash script is the fastest way I know of to get your Joyous fill of bash scripts, ready to run and enhance your openSUSE 12.2/12.3 experience.
For more information on what these bash scripts do, just read through my 40 different blogs: openSUSE Forums - James’ openSUSE Bash Scripting (and other things) Blog - Your Comments are Welcome! - Blogs
Good Luck…AND…Thank You for using openSUSE,
