Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal

Hello, Owch, that don't look good. I don't know about how the OS X prompt is made up and what certain symbols mean. I suspect they would be Unix standard. I have just tried to run as root but I can't. On a Linux system the root user's prompt ends with a number sign. However, here on OS X, a

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal

Hi, We’re overanalyzing this. :) The $ is just the same under Unix as under OS X. Just because you’re an admin user under OS X doesn’t mean you’re root. The problem has everything to do with the hostname,and nothing else. Best, Zack. On Oct 27, 2013, at 10:00 AM, Georgina Joyce g...@gena-j.me.uk

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal

Hi Zac and Gina, Thanks both for your mails. I’m taking the liberty of responding to both in one message. The prompt is made up of the standard Unix characters such as \h for hostname etc. You can see what the prompt is by echoing $PS1. I think Zac is correct here as on the Mavericks

downloading new voices on mac, voices sound weird

Hey guys. I've got OS 10.9 installed and that seems to be working well. I've downloaded some of the new voices for voiceover, Allison, Ava etc, but they sound weird. When I listen to the sound samples, and then listen to my computer, the voices sound way low and way different on my computer

Re: Clear notifications very quickly in I O S?

No not that i know of. what I do is just double rapt he clear buttons and confirm it. I can clean out hundreds as I only have 5 notifications set for each thing so it only takes me about 4 minutes to do the whole thing. Tc. On Oct 26, 2013, at 7:57 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland

Re: sorted the chess but

Hi John, I don't actually expect the Shredder Chess Mac applications to be accessible with VoiceOver in their current forms, and I haven't tried to install them myself. I rather expect that they won't be accessible, since Shredder had chess programs on many different computer platforms before

Re: sorted the chess but

hi there many many thanks for the message and yes it is food for thought. it was amazing last year in india in the chess olimpian how our computers helped us prepare for the tournament. the iphone app is truly great and it would be good for the mac to have the access as well. must do some

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal

Hello Dónal Zac, Well I just picked up on the fact that there was a difference in the punctuation in the prompts. I knew that punctuation represents the level of user access on the system. So why should something as important as the hostname change automatically? Gena Georgina Joyce

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal

Hello, Well, I haven't upgraded yet. I use the terminal a lot. So certainly won't upgrade until things like this are fixed. I would have thought that it is a potential serious security issue. Certainly, not something to be laid back about. So what is the behaviour? Is it using the terminal

Thanks, I did that and it fixed it. Now the only difference is that my voices sound a lot deeper when I'm typing, but that's all. :-) Laurel On Oct 27, 2013, at 1:21 PM, Zachary Kline zkl...@speedpost.net wrote: Hi, You might have to reboot the computer after downloading them. I remember

Sorry for the subject line. I’m just a bit slap happy, tired, and excited all at the same time, plus I have one of my migraine. lol! anyway I just released a mavericks podcast and you can find it at the second heading level 2, or follow the TOC at the top of the page, if the plugin works at
