defective desktop entry

[alex]

$ pwd
~/.local/share/applications
$ cat 'Copy Tanti auguri.desktop'
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Copy Tanti auguri
Exec=echo "Tanti auguri🍾🎁🎂🎉🎊🎈" | xclip -selection clipboard
Type=Application

I open the dashboard, type 'Copy tant ...' (ENTER), it seems that the
command is not executed.

Trying to investigate, here's what comes out

$ desktop-file-validate 'Copy Tanti auguri.desktop'
Copy Tanti auguri.desktop: error: value "echo "Tanti auguri??????" |
xclip -selection clipboard" for key "Exec" in group "Desktop Entry"
contains a reserved character '|' outside of a quote

[Chris Elvidge]

What happens if you just execute the Exec= line - i.e. echo "Tanti etc.
Works here, except that odd icons are not found - I presume I haven't
got the relevant font files loaded. (Slackware 15.)

Suggestion: put the echo bit into a .sh file, make it executable and
then call the shell file in the Exec= line

I would suggest making a bash script and execute that one from the
desktop file

--- tanti-clipboard ---
#!/bin/bash

echo "Tanti auguri🍾🎁🎂🎉🎊🎈" | xclip -selection clipboard

--- eof ---

followed by

chmod 755 tanti-clipboard

and then

--- Copy Tanti auguri.desktop --

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Copy Tanti auguri

Exec=/path/to/tanti-clipboard
Type=Application
-- eof ---

This should work fine, otherwise you need to make your command to not
include special character as described in the documentation:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables

which will limit what you can do.

My opinion: Even if somebody was only researching for the sake of learning,
the belief that obtaining understanding as being one of having "nothing"
to show for it doesn't work for me because you'll plainly have the understanding
to show for it and expertise is something you can show off.

With no proof at all, as is expected for Meat. It's an endless brawl,
and Meat is simultaneously an expert bullshitter of trolling remarks,
while posting with socks with a myriad of tells.

Time to blame the herd!

Yea, I call bullshit on that. Driver media doesn't have a valid
boot sector present. As a result, the machine wouldn't have
refused to reboot because the disk was left behind.
-----

A reasoned response would be for you to just note your error -- of course
you were wrong to say "the machine would not have refused to reboot because
the disk was left behind." That is in fact exactly what was happening.

And you were wrong to say I suggested this was true of machines other
than the one being noted in Carroll's trolling.

It's evident when Sockboy habitually uses the word 'shill' the way the
deep state does, to the point where the word becomes polarizing. Sockboy
should realize everyone knows he is just lying! Where did Sockboy go to
school? You likely think Gnome handles the desktop well. Nope. Not compared
to OS X. I guess this is what comes about when dangerously poor self-respect
takes over Sockboy's persona.

Despite all the big talk Sockboy has done on this topic, the 'Content
Manager' doesn't understand how to do this. It seriously takes a couple
seconds to click and drag across a sentence and 'Google' it.

One observation.

I can't copy your character string. I tried a couple of
ways, and like in some of your quoted material with the
??????, the six characters also seem to render as
six square boxes, as if six 0x00 bytes are ending up
in the clipboard.

You probably need a different way to encode the characters.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/250366/how-to-force-shell-script-characters-encoding-from-within-the-script

#!/bin/bash --utf8 <=== well, that's not even a valid option today

locale, LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL <=== this could help, might improve terminal response, maybe...

We need to keep our table handy. Code point is on the end. That hex wasn't useful.

Now, this is where it gets interesting.

# Go to LibreOffice Writer and paste and get two characters as expected. So pipe to "xclip" eats this OK.

printf $(printf '\\%o' $(printf %08x 0x2388 0x266c 0xA | sed 's/../0x& /g')) | iconv -f UTF-32BE -t UTF-8 | xclip -selection clipboard

# Substitute the code points and retest. This prints six emoji in terminal. Put all
# of this in a single terminal command.

printf $(printf '\\%o' $(printf %08x 0x1F37E 0x1F381 0x1F382 0x1F389 0x1F38A 0x1F388 0xA |
sed 's/../0x& /g')) | iconv -f UTF-32BE -t UTF-8

# But xclip is barfing if I do this.

printf $(printf '\\%o' $(printf %08x 0x1F37E 0x1F381 0x1F382 0x1F389 0x1F38A 0x1F388 0xA |
sed 's/../0x& /g')) | iconv -f UTF-32BE -t UTF-8 | xclip -selection clipboard

Does it need a different clipboard tool ?
Or is the idea broken ?

You decide :-)

Well, works for me. Or at least xclip didn't "barf" and I can paste that
to Emacs and Konsole. Debian 11 and locale is set like this:

Glasser Michael Snit is trying (with "all they have") to project their modus
operandi onto Dustin. For years Glasser Michael Snit has pressed the claim
that Dustin needs 'witnesses' to point out all his forgeries. The fact is
that nobody needs any help to do that. So Glasser Michael Snit pulls this
outrageous blaming crap in a feeble attempt to 'boost' the idea that Dustin
is like him. My opinion: Even if Glasser Michael Snit was only learning
how to scam the government, the belief that attaining insight as being one
of having "diddly" to show for it doesn't fly because you'll have the knowledge
to show for it and an education is a dangerous weapon. I see you are deciding
to bask in Glasser Michael Snit's arena of socks and game playing over an
analysis that would have been a bit more 'useful'. There are not so many
reasons to come to Google Groups and boring crap like this puts a spotlight
on why that's true.

You've proven very little.

The only way that I could condone Malwarebytes's constant need for tinkering
because of dependency problems or flaky features is if I consumed the substantial
number of Kool Aid flavors its community have been feeding Glasser Michael
Snit since 2003. Glasser Michael Snit doesn't have any idea what he is crying
about. Given how regularly it is clear that Glasser Michael Snit's post
is some misquote of a comment Dustin wrote which had been a blow on Glasser
Michael Snit for something he did which was absurd/dishonest/etc... its
really a regular expression of Glasser Michael Snit's continuing distress
for having been so frequently crushed: Glasser Michael Snit is undeniably
unable of being slapped down.

Besides Shadow, who doesn't know what I'm doing? Unfortunately there are
too many "lowest common denominator is fine" freetards and not enough programers
with the patience to help the people with Macs. Shadow suffers from neurotic
delusions so, to him, everything, even responses to his idiocy, are "aggressive".
Who *doesn't* know this? The clam engine had a false positive hit, and
the CLI ClamXav reported what the engine which isn't created by the same
person or company reported it. Not long ago I did work on and showed some
Ruby for the front end which is the only thing you can do when trying to
avoid Shadow's nonstop crap while reading with Google Groups.

Shadow says I'm not 'permitted' to call out their bullshit, and they aren't
going to admit to any prior crap they caused. Rather, I'm expected to discount
it all, and give them a clean slate so they can just replay the process
all over again, while they continue to accept no responsibility for what
they say and do in here towards myself?

I am about to give up on him, myself. Like all jerks, he is always looking
for some way to abuse, no matter how laughable the allegation. I will not
see his response to this post. He's embarrassed, wants to pretend he is
innocent, and will berate. Most likely starting with a cocky "<snip>",
as if what I've written is *so* absurd. That BADish "response" was the
final stroke, for me. I could counter Theo honestly but he's an imbecile
who distorts your words to fulfill his desire to call everyone a fool.
Ironically, Theo virtually asked Michael Glasser Snit for the site that
calls out his lies.

My uptime is almost forty-eight weeks and them the facts, Jack! Right now
there are too many "Michael Snit Glasser is our hero" NNTP protocol users
and not enough old school users with the time to help the people with Linux
gear. Generally, I would not call a claim like Michael Snit Glasser's posts
an outright lie until you negate it (as you are here) and Michael Snit Glasser
responds with the same thing again because even he knows the details are
wrong.

Now Theo on the other end of the line doesn't matter. All that matters
is Michael Snit Glasser gets to deliver his flood. So how to win? Don't
pay attention the nonsense. Reason isn't part of plot and never was planned
to be.

This forum is a leaking porta potty.

Until Michael Snit Glasser offers up his 'expert' open source application

The clam engine had a false positive hit, and the command line Klamav

He is as incompetent as David. David can't get anything else to work,
either.

For most I'd just say it is dubious. Of course, given that it's David
I would skip that step and go straight to 'drug-induced delusion' because
that's most of what he does. No need to find evidence before accusing
David of lying. You haven't been tracking him to even partially comprehend
the depths of the guy's perversion. David's actions are actually in all
respects duplicitous. There is zero ambiguity that as soon as any ex 'plonked
person' does one thing to wound the little pansy's feelings that they'll
be blocked again. What I learned is, if I've met people calling themselves
"Socialists" while sky diving, they weren't the usual David type that
likes to grumble about so much. Why are such people obviously never peaceful.
Does it make you sick?

And given how often it is clear that David's .sig file is some twist
of a remark Snit made which had been a beating on David for something
he did which was daffy/inaccurate/etc... its really a daily expression
of David's continuing distress for having been so frequently pwned: David
is obviously incapable of dealing with this group.
