I'm working with a dual-boot laptop running Ubuntu 10.0/Windows 7 and a Debian 5 VPS while the OS's shouldn't have much impact on my question.
What I would like to do is create a html page that I can upload to my VPS which lists all of the files/folders on my local 2TB hard drive (Specifically media such as Movies, Music, TV Shows...). The media obviously will not reside on the server, but I would like to at least have a list which will allow me to select, for instance, a bands artist so that it redirects me to the albums in the directory below.
Ultimately, I'm looking for Open Directory Browsing without actually having the media on my server. I have been attempting to create something to this effect using lynx, however, I'm not sure if it can be done with this command or if it's even possible for that matter.
I am using GTKPOD to add music and sync my Ipod touch. I have gtkpod up and running and I have gone through the initial steps of changing the repo and selecting my ipod touch. But now when I try to "load ipod" i am receiving an error stating that the IPOD directory structure not found.
I have changed the repo so that is ipod mount point: /mnt
But after selecting load ipod;
Could not find iPod directory structure at '/mnt'.
If you are sure that the iPod is properly mounted at '/mnt', it may not be initialized for use. In this case, gtkpod can initialize it for you.
Do you want to create the directory structure now? >>>Create Directory Structure
Following this message; Warning
The following has occured:
Error initialising iPod: Problem creating iPod
How do i create the iPod Directory Structure that it is asking for?
I have just been bothered by a fairly small issue for some time now. I am trying to search (using find -name) for some .jpg files recursively. This is a Redhat environment with bash.
I get this job done though I need to copy ALL of them and put them in a separate folder BUT I also need to keep the order intact after copying.
For e.g - If I get a JPG file under /home/usr/new/1/ then the destination also needs to be /test/old/new/1/.
At the moment, I am simply putting all files under /test/old/ and I can't somehow get the later /new/1/ folder path created under /test/old/
I understand this could well be done using while OR if else loop, though if someone can just guide me with a hint, I would be really grateful.
I will complete the rest of the steps and was asking here since I am still not comfortable with the shell/bash scripts yet and planning to be really good at it over the next couple of months.
I have searched all over. I cannot find any info on the description of the Fedora mirror release directory structure and the reason for having a "Fedora" and "Everything" directory? Yes I looked at [URL] I mostly work with the Red Hat 5.x. The Fedora release software is kept on a mirror and the DVD release as, (using i386 release):
I have uShare 1.1a setup to talk to my XBox 360. If I share a directory that has no subdirectories, the video files display on the XBox. However, most of my files are in sub-directories on a different partition - I don't really want to copy them to the share, but uShare doesn't seem to recognise any sub-directories or files contained therein.
I have tried setting up symbolic soft links directly to the video files (although this is a pain, it is better than moving the files)...
Code: ln -s /home/jonftp/TV-Shows/Buffy/Season-1/Buffy-101.avi /home/share/Buffy-101.avi ...but these don't show up on the XBox either.
How can I get uShare to "drill down" the directory structure to list the files or how can I get uShare to follow symbolic links?
I am performing a dry run using Rsync on 2 different boxes.While i'm doing that, Under destination directory, I want a specific directory x to be ignored for sync.Please let me know the exact pattern to ignore the directory.The current command I'm using is:rsync -avnc --delete $LOCAL_DIR $USERNAME@$DESTINATION_IP:$REMOTE_DIRunder DESTINATION_IP, I would want to ignore a particular directory under REMOTE_DIR.
I'm trying to install Slackware package into some specific locations, like for example, I want to put Linux base package into at / and put applications on /usr/local. However when I'm installing using "setup" program, I cannot find a part that let me to choose the installation destination.
At "setup install" option, it gives six different installation method like full, newbie, menu, expert, custom, and tag path. But none of them (I cannot find it) gives an option where to put the installation package to.
I've the following file structure that I would like to add to git.
Code:
These are big directories and I don't need them all checked out. I only need the src directory. After I commit the files in the /app/src, it must be pushed to a remote site.
If I want only to checkout the src directory to work on, it's important to create a special file structure in git? For example, instead of doing git init on app general directory, should I do git init on all subdirectories?
Is it possible to checkout only part of a file structure in git?
We have an rsync cron job set up to mirror all the files in a "..dashtdocsdocs" folder to the same folder on another server. It copies all the files over correctly and deletes any files in the "docs" directory that aren't in the sending directory, but it also deletes any files we put in the target directory's parent folder (..dashtdocs or other subfolders like ..dashtdocsimages) even though they've been excluded in the .rsync-filter file.
So for example server A has ..dashtdocsdocs and ..dashtdocsimages. Server B has ..dashtdocsdocs but if I manually copy the images folder over to ..dashtdocsimages, the images folder gets deleted from the target directory every time rsync runs.
I'd like to keep just the docs directory synched and update other folders manually, but they keep getting deleted. It looks to me like it's running a delete-excluded option, but that option wasn't used.
Unfortunately, I deleted my /home/ directory by running "rm -rf *" accidentally. The partition (/dev/sda3/) has an ext3 filesystem. After deleting the /home directory, I shutted down the PC and rebooted from a RIPLinux liveUSB, which has some tools that allowed me to recover some files. However, what I would like to do is to recover the directory tree structure, rather than the files, in order to see which files I deleted.
What I exactly want is the following: I would like to have the output of "ls -lR /home/" before deleting all the files, but the problem is that now the /home directory is empty.
My clearly outdated Linux course I'M using is telling me that the directory structure for building RPMs is in /usr/src/redhat, but on my redhat system, there is only /usr/src/ > debug & > kernels, folders.
I am using RHEL 4.4. Last time when I reboot my server it generate an error, and mention to run fsck command in repair mode. When I ran, this fix some problems, but after that it generate an error of gdm and X11 services after showing login sceen and getting user name and passwod. But I login via putty from a remote system. So, when I tried to make changes like create directory or file or even tried to make any change in any file it generate an error that " you can not make changes in read only file system".
How do I download all the files form here: [URL]. I am on freeBSD 7.0 and I tried wget with the -r switch and it gives me URL's only. Maybe this is simply not an ftp site I don't know. How I can download all those files with the same directory structure.
I've been using rsync in a bash script to make hourly copies of jpeg files that are created every few minutes. The images are contained in a number of subdirectories, with the filenames using the date and time
At the moment, my source and target directories are identical, and rsync is easy:
Quote:
rsync -av data/images/ /mnt/data/images
Note that the source directory is purged at regular intervals to stop it filling up. So the target directory has all the images, but the source doesn't.
I need to change my script so that the target directory has a different structure from the source directory, like this:
Amarok is nice, and currently the only thing I've tried that will actually play audio from network shares and not lock up. Only problem is that it doesn't seem to list my library by directory/folder structure.. only album/artist/genre or some variation thereof. Is there anything that does list by folder structure?
I would like to find the command that copy my eclipse options to another workspace code...
It doesn't work, and it could be source of error to write the path .metadata/.plugins manually. It certainly a better idea to create a complete script ?
I have a drive with an NTFS partition where all the files were deleted. What I'm looking for is a way to rebuild the directory structure and recover the files. I really, really want the directory structure as the partition contains 460 Gigs of data. Normally I would use the tools here: [URL] but I've never dealt with this much data before. Everything there that I've used creates a pretty messy dump however.
I have used ntfsundelete before but only for a few files at a time. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to run it on a partition of that size. I'm comfortable with data recovery but this amount of data is beyond me. I've run ntfsundelete with no args and from what I can tell of skimming the pages of output all the files are fine. The partition has not been written to.
I have several copies of a file set with different organizational structures, but the same files. i.e. On client1 files can be found in ~foobarfile1, ~foobarfile2, ~foo-avernfile3, ~foo avernfile4 On client2 files can be found in ~foo-barfile1, ~foo-barfile2, ~foo-tavernfile5, ~foo avernfile6 On client3 files can be found in ~file1, ~file3, ~file5, ~file7
I have access to one client and the server where I'd like all the files to be synced. I'm not worried about conflicts, just having a complete copy of all files[1-7]. Is there a way to cause RSYNC to remove the directory structure, so that I get something like: client1% rsync files server:backup client2% rsync files server:backup etc where at the destination all files will be checked against the destination set regardless of the source directory structure?
Is there a way to force rsync to not make directories in its destination directory; ie, to simply dump all of the files from the source directory directly into the destination without copying any of the folders that the files were originally in? I tried --no-dirs, but that seems to only be for empty directories.
I'm having problems with compiling recursive Makefiles in my directory structure: My folder layout is: top/|- one/|- one.c (With main function)|- zero.c|- two/|- two.cin my top folder the make file looks like:
Code: MAKE_DIRECTORIES = one two .PHONY: all all: $(MAKE_DIRECTORIES)
.PHONY: $(MAKE_DIRECTORIES) $(MAKE_DIRECTORIES): @echo $@ $(MAKE) --directory=$@ in my one and two folder I have the following Makefile:
Code: .PHONE: all all: @echo $@ $(CC) $(CFLAGS) *.c But when I compile it from top folder: make
I get following output: Code: one two Which states that directory statement by echo in main Makefile is ok but the files are not compiled in one and two.
