Fedora :: Copying All Of .wine To Another Computer?
Jan 12, 2011
I've lost some install disks which cannot be replaced and need to copy my entire /home/username/.wine to my laptop.
I already have installed wine on the laptop and it is the same version of Fedora (14) as is on my desktop.
Is it possible to mass copy the entire desktop /home/username/.wine, and copy it onto the laptop?
Do I do the copy as user or as root? I need to get everything, the system files registery and ProgramFiles etc. and then copy it on to the lap top with exactly the same permissions.
So I would, for example, type tar -zvcp allWine.tgz /home/username/.wine/*.*
I have a saved a .c file on my department computer and i am able to access it through my computer via SSH. BUT I WANT TO copy and paste it into my system.
i have windows partition i'm unable to access through dual boot. i'm wondering if i could copy a game over to wine (warcraft 3) as i don't have the discs available.
I have config settings on one computer that I like (spent a lot of time writing up easystroke commands, rating songs in Banshee, saving a bunch of wireless network configurations... etc etc.)
So much stuff that I might just like to copy my entire harddrive and all of my folders to an external hard drive and then replace everything on my new computer from there.
On my university, the technology center uses the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I've been told by my teacher to get GCC for the C language. Searching for GCC on my netbook, I can find two programs: Sysinfo (why?) GGcov (doesn't open) Searching for GCC on the TC Computer, I can find 115 programs... The administrator wasn't there at the moment I checked this, and he'll not be there on this weekend so... I would like to do this by myself tomorrow. With my vast one-week experience with ubuntu, I think such software abundance from the TC computer side is related to repositories. I would like to copy them all to my netbook, if it's possible.
I got a problem with the motherboard of my computer and now I need to get some files out from the hard drive (an ext3 partition). I can access the files from another computer but because of the permissions of my user it doesn't let me copy the files over to another drive.
my computer was running Kubuntu 8.10 with a Vista dualboot. I also tried attaching the hard drive to another laptop, but because of the video drivers the display doesn't function properly.
I am trying to copy four files from my machine, through a second machine, and finally to the destination. The destination computer can only be reached through the second computer, and I am curious to know if there is an easy way to do this. I am able to ssh to the middle machine and then ssh from there to the destination. I know that I could just copy from the first machine to the second, and then from there to the third. I guess that I'm curious to know what kind of command I can run to do this all at once or even if I could do such a thing (which I'm betting I can). I need to copy these files as root on the destination machine too.
i was install wine with the soft ware center when my computer crashed, now i cant uninstall it or cointinue the installation or unistall, when i do try to unistall i press the unistall icon nothing happens. when i go into the software center to try and reinstall it says waiting for other software managers to quit,
I'm very new to Ubuntu. Today is my first day. Issue: I have a USB dongle on my Linux laptop, and I need to download and install WINE so that I can install the software so that I can the USB modem to connect to the internet. How can I download WINE on my windows computer and copy it to my Linux laptop so that I can install the dongle software?
I'm brand-new to Linux and Ubuntu, and I need to install Wine. I'm installing it on an offline computer, (I'm using Windows on the online pc), and I'm in need of the extra libraries required for proper Wine installation. The easiest way I've seen is to download/install the libraries via internet through the terminal. I can't though, because the computer's offline.
I am new to fedora and installed wine to see if I could get the sony reader software working (required to access sony bookstore from my sony ereader). Well the program did not work though it did create icons on my desktop. wine kept crashing and I said lets just get rid of it. I uninstalled wine via yum remove and nothing appeared to happen so I did rpm -qa |grep wine and saw lots of stuff. So I simply did yum remove wine* and then a rpm -qa |grep wine was empty. however wine is still under applications on my desktop and still has a category for programs--reader. I should also mention that while wine was installed I attempted to remove the reader via the wine uninstalller but a) wine gave a message of a core crash and b) all the uninstaller did was give me the option to reinstall the reader program. so now when I attempt to open an epub it tries with the sony reader software. I know I can just right click to use another program but for now I want wine gone completely from my pc and the sony program gone.
when I tried to install wine I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"so I looked for wine-gecko and download it but also when I tried to install it I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"it seems that I am in loop each package need the other what to do please?
I booted my Fedora 13 live CD on my Dell server, and configured networking and SSHd. On my desktop I logged into the live cd and started copying over a big file (1.5 GB) (i.e. copying from the desktop computer to the server). After copying about half the fil, the download fails with an error message about the filesystem being read-only.I've seen this exact same behavior on both i386 and x86_64 of the same live CD, but don't know why it's happening. I've also had the same issue when copying small files. In /var/log/messages these messages are repeated many times:
Code: Dec 20 12:32:23 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 684075 Dec 20 12:32:23 localhost kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on dm-0
I currently have three hard drives: (2) 150GB IDE drives (windows) and (1) 500GB SATA drive (fedora13). I'm trying to move files on the IDE drives to the SATA drive so that I only need the SATA drive. The SATA drive is running Fedora 13 and the other two were old NTFS drives that I just use for space now. So most of the files copied fine, however, for a handful of them I receive the following error:Error splicing file: Value too large for defined data type This happens when I try to copy files not only from drive to drive, but even from folder to folder on the same drive. I've read about a 2GB file size limit, but none of the files are that size. I have no idea why this is happening.
I want to copy a file system with dd. Most of the forums and how-to's warn that the file system must be unmounted. Otherwise, data could be changing and inconsistent or, at best, there may be open inodes, and the copied file system would need to be recovered the first time it is mounted. However, is it sufficient if the file system is mounted read-only? Or does a file opened with read-only still result in an open inode?
I have a dual boot-up desktop system with Window XP and Fedora. Linux was installed after Windows came installed with the system. The system has only one hard drive and both the OS are on the same drive but on different paritions. Is it possible to copy the whole Fedora Linux parition to a new hard drive and then install the new hard drive on an entirely desktop to make it work like the old system? Will all the setting in Fedora remain the same? All the file and enviornment variables or the changes made will be retained on a new system? What to do? Which software to use?
I want to use find and scp to copy files. Is there a way to copy files that have spaces in their names? I know you can add " tags for a single file but can find do that? This is the command that i use:
I was told fedora is great operating system but all i run is into trouble, hours spend on searching for solutions and never get an easy answer as it is on Leopard or even windows 7.What's my problem. I installed a new dvd copy of fedora13, and now connected 2 USB hard drives that seem to connect fine, can access everything but if i try to copy files to one of the drives it says i don't have permissions, and the fields to change permissions access are blank.
This usb crashes every time copying about 1,200 files of size 800k - 1.2m. Some right away and others randomly. Using the file manager and dragging the image folders from the USB to the local drive. Upon the crash, the USB cannot be used for anything until the system is rebooted.Below are the error messages from GNOME 3 and dmesg GNOME 3 messages:
Error splicing file: Input/output error
A dialog window would ask to Cancel, Skip All or Skip. but by this time the USB had already stopped.
dmseg output:

My Source folder contains 424.8 GB in 502,474 files. My Destination folder was created fresh, and after the copy contains 394.0 GB in 486.514 files. I am running it as grsync with root authority. The only options are to preserve time, permissions, owner and group., and to produce a verose output and transfer progress. There are no exceptions specified to skip any files.
I have run it again to give it a chance to get it right. Same result. The source is in an rsnapshot folder, but this is the first backup, the original, containing only whole files, not links.
I've tried to copy my files from Xamp httdocs in windows to /var/www/html,but I can't paste the file, what should I do so I can paste the files ?I have logged in as a root
Why system lags so much while working with a lot of files or with big files (copying them, erasing)? How it can be solved? I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 with ext4 filesystem
I have a server with RedHat distro which stores and updates someg files and second computer with Windows 7 on it. I must configure both machines so one can get those files from server to Win7 machine using ssh. But I have no idea how to do it.
Using SSH all the time on my home network. I use ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id to generate and then copy the key file. On one of my computers I've changed the default ssh port and see no way to copy the key without reverting the configuration to port 22 temporarily. This is not a big deal and would probably take less time than it has taken me to type this message.
I have installed Windows XP with Virtual Machine Manager. The question is how do I access files on my primary linux system? Also can I mount a NTFS partition in my Virtual Machine
I am thinking about using aida to nuke my drive and then I'll re-partition it with gparted. I don't want to lose my 15 GB installation of Fedora Core 10 in the process and have an external 80 GB drive. How could I back up Fedora to this drive with the intention of copying it back to my internal drive?
I have Western Digital 1 TB external HDD. I had slackware 13 and it could copy data to it with speed around 30 MB/s (copy from machine to HDD) and it was cool. It's usb 2.0 as KInfoCenter says. But now in fedora 13, it's like 1 MB/s or even less (KInfoCenter still says usb 2.0). Any special mount option to set in fuseblk to speed it up? I mean something like blksize or like that?
Code:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/My Book type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
I'm trying to find out which application will copy DVD discs (video and data) in raw mode. Something that works for DVDs like cdrdao works for CDs. I tried using cdrdao but it errors out because the DVD disc is too big for it. I tried looking at Brasero but I can't tell if it offers a raw option. I see that Brasero lets you copy a DVD to a RAW image, then burn the RAW image back to a DVD-R. If Brasero uses RAW mode to do a direct copy, this would essentially do the same thing, but I can't tell if that is what it does. But, I think this will work.
