View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a shared (Windows/multiuser Linux) laptop, and I've got installed World of Warcraft and some steam games in Windows. With steam games, there is (almost) no problems. I've installed steam in Linux, and soft linked the 'steamapps' directory (per-game compatibility is another issue). With WoW, the problem is different. I would like to have almost (but not) all files. Under World of Warcraft, every file and directory must be linked except the Interface directory and WTF/config.wtf file (so every user can play with their own settings and addons). How can I have a mix of linked and not linked files without linking every file? If I link manually every file/dir, when updating from Linux other users and Windows Wow is not updated; when updating from Windows, new files remains "unlinked".
View 3 Replies View Relatedi encountered the following:
situation:
1 server with centos 5.4 running 1 client with centos 5.4 - gnome running thin ethernet network
on my client desktop i have a link to a shared folder on the server. this works fine.
to the problem: after working with this (using the link and seeing it working) i shutted down the server from my client (in a terminal screen, using ssh) the terminal screen signalled the server going down and the connection ended. the linked folder on the client desktop changed its icon fine.
after that i clicked on the changed icon (of the link that was not a working link any more) and the client machine froze.... no reaction any more. i could only end the session by >ctrl-alt-f#< , log in and shutdown.
Q: is it normal Centos is that angry when you click such a link?
In my /media directory, there is a sub-directory that doesn't point to any drive (mounted or unmounted) - when I look at it in nautilus, it looks like a folder with an x on it, and I can't actually get inside the folder through the terminal. It has the same name as an external hard drive that I used to own, but has since been repartitioned. I think that, at one point, the drive was removed from my computer without unmounting, and its listing in /media was never removed (I left my home for a weekend and when I got back the drive didn't work and this listing was there in /media. I think my roommate might have done something to it, but he hasn't admitted to anything). Is there any way to remove this listing?

We set up a server with my friend (still newbies ) a couple of months ago using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server edition and agreed to let some folks at school to use it to install drupal on it for teaching and learning purposes. So the idea is that there are multiple users that all install drupal in their home folders separately using SSH and continue from there on etc.
Everything is set up for that to work (domain, settings etc), but there's one thing nagging me, and that's how everyone can look at everything on the server. They dont have rights to modify anything but can look at file listings and view inside files etc.
So how do I restrict the viewing rights of users to inside their home folder, BUT so that they can use the cd command to go to folders inside their home folder, but not outside of it. As far as I know rbash purely keeps you inside home and allows nothing else, so that doesn't work, because you need the cd command.
I recently downloaded some browsers using the synaptic package manager and after taking a look at them I used synaptic to remove them.

I currently have some windows (Win7 Ultimate 64-bit) shares automounted to my linux laptop whenever I am on my home wireless network. I have this functionality set up using autofs/CIFS and it works well, except for one issue: The directory listings for the mounted windows shares are incomplete, i.e. when listing the directories on the linux machine, it only lists a fraction of what is available in the actual share. One directory returns 28 of 51 files present, for example, and another 33 of 60. NOTE: None of the files on the windows shares are 'hidden' or in any way shared differently than the others.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had two hd's in my box forever. for more space and backup reasons. Well I have started running the Debian Squeeze distro since December. I've had many issues, some are still unresolved. but now I'm running into major headaches with the fstab. Specifically dealing with/wondering why UUID's are used instead of the old /dev/hd? I was a little annoyed when I tried Kubuntu to find /dev/sd? used instead of /dev/hd? but that was workable. But the UUID's are a nightmare. Here's my problem.
My main box is finally giving up the ghost. The mobo is dying. So in order to do some tests I took my hd bundle (my two hard drives with their cables) physically out of the box and temp installed them in a test box. I wanted to do some benchmark and other tests. I got all kinds of errors. I found that the system wasn't recognizing the UUID's listed in fstab. My concern is when the new mobo gets here next week I won't simply be able to plug the hd's in like I always have been and just let Linux reconfigure itself (Debian used to be good about this). I really don't want to have to clean reinstall if it's not needed.
So for this I have two questions. WHY developers decided to drop using /dev/hd? or even /dev/sd? ?
And is it possible to revert fstab's listings back to the old /dev/hd? settings. In debian fstab had lines commented out showing how each partition was listed in it's /dev/hd? status during install.
I'm getting really sick of all these archane changes in ALL aspects of linux that don't seem to have any good explaination or need.
The shell is bash.
The directory path, /this/is/directory/aa, is actually linked to the path /this/is/link/aa.
So when I cd to the aa directory I am in /this/is/link/aa and there is no /this/is/link/bb hence the error with ls.
My question is how does cd understand relative paths and not return an error the way ls does?
Installed CentOS 5.5 some time ago and I can proudly say I am more than satisfied with it. Managed to install codecs, flash player, media players, chrome and opera browsers and all other things I need. My only problem is that as of about a week ago my external DVD player is not recognized any more by CentOS so I am unable to watch movies. My external DVD player is Magnavox and it works great but CentOS does not recognize it any more. I used to watch movies in CentOS in SMPlayer all the time. What to do to get it back?

I ran the LVM again, removed the volume from the group and created a new group for the volume; still no change after reboot. I am clearly missing a key operation.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find a way to do this, so maybe it's not actually possible, but I was wondering if there was a way to list all files that link to a file.
For example.
touch a
ln a b
ln a c
I want to find out what files link to a (not symlinks, mind you), assuming that this is more complicated (they are spread around to different directories).
I kind of understand about the filesystem storing links in one area and data in another, so I understand it probably takes more work to find a link from a file location than the other way around.
i would like to have clarification from you.

I am relatively new to fedora. We just install a 64 bit server with FC11. Everything seems to work fine until we start to compile and link some of our existing applications that use statically linked libraries such as libm.a. We are using GCC version 4.4.1 20090725.
I search online and there are a few people reporting similar issues. There are no resolution on those questions. And I can't seem to find any repositories that have those libraries. Would appreciate if anyone can direct me to the right place. This is fairly urgent as it is holdiing up the deployment of the system.

I just thought I should signup, been checking this forum for a while and so far it had answered most of my google searches. I'm on Karmic Ubuntu and this problem keeps annoying me since it will probably damage my hdd. It's like this: I seed a lot of torrents and I'm keeping my external plugged in; most of the time it's innactive since no one is leeching old torrents and it stays mounted in stand by, being a LP model.
Now, whenever I access a folder on my desktop to browse or whatever, Nautilus freezes because it takes time to get my external back from the stand by. The problem is that the desktop folder isn't linked in any way to the external, so why is Nautilus refreshing everything including my externals when it gets started ? I have 3 externals and this happens for them all. Did you guys ever experienced this ? I was wondering if there was a fox around this or something, I'm kinda new to linux graphic interfaces.
1. I need to use clock_gettime(), in <time.h> it is: extern int clock_gettime (clockid_t __clock_id, struct timespec *__tp) __THROW; and in a successful build .so it is unsolved. In final app to lonk to this .so it is also unsolved. which lib missed in .so or app build?
2. libc include several libs, which are liked by default? say stdc++, rt? rt1/rt2 what does they do?
3. How to find which libc is used or linked?
I'm interested in modding an open-source turn based game called Advanced Strategic Command or ASC, but to do that I need bunch of libraries. Installing those libraries is very easy in linux, I know but the thing is I'm working with windows in which the building of the libraries is a bit more complex, as you probably know. One of those libraries is the ligsigc++, I'm using VC++ but haven't been successful in building the libsigc++ in VC++. I considered making my life easier with Cygwin (a unix shell for windows) and simply executing ./Configure, Make. I's worked like a charm and the library dll it produced is named cygsigc-2.0-0.dll which made me wonder is compiling a library in cygwin to be linked with VC++ perfectly ok? That is is there any difference in compiling in cygwin and VC++?
