Desktops :: Application Install And Command Line Input

Dec 22, 2010

I've just installed the BRL-CAD application and it need a command line input (/usr/brlcad/bin) to the System - see below. I am not that familiar with the commands although no problem getting into the Terminal. I just don't want to screw this up. I am running a Mac Mini, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, OS 10.6.5. I need some step-by-step info in getting this embedded and the application up and running.

Setting Up the Path:
Once installed, you will need to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your system
PATH. For Bourne shell users, you can run the following:
PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
For C shell users, this should do the same thing:
set path=( /usr/brlcad/bin $path ) ; rehash

OS X Technologies :: Changing The Keyboard Input Source From Command Line?

May 3, 2012

Is anybody know if there is a way to switch to a particular "input source" (keyboard) with a command line? (or with Apple Script).

Not switch to the next or the previous, but to a specific one. Like switch to "Canadian French" or "Us English".

OS X :: Leopard Install On G5 / Need Command Line Firmware Info

Sep 22, 2008

I have a Power MAC G5 that "has" Tiger 10.4.2 on it. The problem is that it wont boot past "login window starting". So I decided to buy Leopard. Problem is that it keeps kicking the DVD out during the "c" boot. Now I am told the system might need a firmware update for the DVD player.
"Apple Superdrive Firmware Update 2.1". Heres my problem: I cant boot into Tiger. I get stuck at the login screen. So I want to know if there is a way to do a firmware update in "Single user mode".

Desktops :: Finding Mac Mini Audio Input

Nov 22, 2009

I've searched hi and low all over my mac mini and can't find an audio input on it anywhere. I've got an audio output socket for a mini jack, but no input.

Is this usual? And if so, does it mean that the mini is still capable of audio input if I use an usb interface?

Basically I want to input some audio from a guitar and mic and wanted to know if this was going to be a possibility.

MacBook Pro :: No Sound Input From Audio Line-in Port (mic)?

Jun 29, 2012

I'm trying to plug in and use an external microphone to record a screen capture. Sound gets through the headphones great but, looking at Input Sound in the Sys Pref, the Line In device does not pick up any sound when I speak into the mic. If I switch it back to the Built-In Internal Microphone device it picks up my voice fine. In the Audio MIDI Setup, the Built-in Input device is selected as the device to be used for sound input.There is a switch on my headset to mute or unmute the mic and I've tried it in both positions. There is a volume dial on my headset (presumably for the headphones) and I've fiddled with that too. I've moved the Input volume for the Line In Audio Line-in port device all the way up and still it hasn't picked up a thing. I have a Mac os x Lion on a Macbook Pro and using a 3.5 mm mini-jack headset with two cables, one for the headphones and one for the microphone.

Info:
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

OS X :: Command Line Interface And B2zipped Tarball

Aug 30, 2010

A good friend who has used Macs professionally for years has asked me to send him a big stack of HTML documents and my instinct is to put them into a tarball, b2zip it, and send him that. I asked whether he could handle it and he told me to send each document separately, uncompressed. I use Linux, so I know you folks have an excellent OS that is BSD-based and can handle lots of bash commands I use. Accordingly I want to tell my friend how to do it all in one easy step from the CLI. He has no idea what I'm talking about, does not know how to get to the CLI, and did not even know Macs have them until I mentioned it to him.

So could you kindly provide my friend with a no-assumptions, comprehensive, clear list of beginner's instructions that will tell him exactly what to do to? He needs to:
1. Get into the CLI
2. Locate the tarball he downloaded from Gmail
3. Unzip it and open it
4. Get out of the CLI and back into the GUI.

I would deal with the tarball this way: $ tar xjvf ./texts.tar.bz2. Could he use that command? I don't have any idea how to leave the graphic world on a Mac. My view is that fulfilling his request will be difficult and a lot of work for him as well if I don't use a tarball, and he needs to learn something about the OS he's using. I'll be interested to see how Mac users do it, as well. Yes, I expect the job can be done in the GUI on a Mac, but as I say, I would like to expand his universe (and mine) just a bit. Dragging him out of the GUI won't hurt him, and the learning experience could give him a bit more respect for the power and flexibility of the OS he uses daily.
