[lubuntu-users] Can't execute bash scripts from Geany

Wed Feb 7 16:54:49 UTC 2018

Reply following, it's kinda long, sorry ... 

Output of "$ls -la ~/bin" ... 

I trimmed the ls outputs to just include the relevant files. 

jcig at lubuntu:~$ ls -la ~/bin

total 5716

drwxrwxr-x 13 jcig jcig    4096 Feb  2 16:32 backupscripts

drwxr-xr--  2 jcig jcig    4096 Feb  6 13:07 cron-scripts

jcig at lubuntu:~$ ls -la ~/bin/backupscripts

drwxr-xr--  2 jcig jcig 4096 Feb  6 13:07 .

drwxr-xr-- 18 jcig jcig 4096 Feb  3 16:34 ..

-rwxr-xr--  1 jcig jcig 1147 Feb  6 13:07 cron-rsync-backup-adata32.sh

-rw-------  1 jcig jcig   60 Oct 27 20:00 .directory

jcig at lubuntu:~$

I have a crontab that calls the "cron-rsync-backup-adata32.sh" script. And 

then cron-rsync-backup-adata32.sh calls "rsync-backup-adata32-local.sh"

to actually run rsync to backup the "adata32" flash drive to the local hard

drive.

The setup runs fine when initiated by cron.

I normally use Geany to edit and test the scripts because on other distros

I can run the scripts right from inside Geany to test them. 

In Geany I go to "Main Menu Bar / Build / Execute", then a terminal window

opens up displaying the progress of the script. Any errors also shows up

for troubleshooting.

But, here in Lubuntu all I get is the terminal window, but nothing happens,

the script doesn't run.

I can run the scripts from a terminal and they run just fine. 

It's just that here on Lubuntu, Geany can't run the scripts.

I also have KDE neon installed on this netbook. Here is a screenshot of 

Geany running a script in neon ...

Here is a screenshot of Geany running a script here on Lubuntu ...

As you can see, the script never runs here on Lubuntu. From inside Geany that is. 

God bless,

I have some various bash scripts I created, located in my ~/bin directory, to backup my flash drive. Normally, in other distributions I have been able to open, edit the scripts, and execute them right from inside Geany. But for some reason I can't get them to execute from Geany here in Lubuntu.

My machine is a Lubuntu X140e Thinkpad netbook. This OS is Lubuntu 17.10, installed on Jan 13, 2018. All updates have been installed.

Permissions on ~/bin 

jcig at lubuntu:~$ ls -l

Any ideas?
