Ubuntu :: Mapping Windows My Documents Folder To My Documents Folders
Dec 18, 2010I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics.
Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.
Fedora :: Allow User To Save/edit/delete Documents In A Folder But Not Delete That Folder?
Sep 6, 2011Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

Apr 26, 2011I have somehow 'disappeared' my Documents folder.I was working on an Open Office document, when I chose "File/Save As" this is the very unwelcome message that came up:/home/ray/documents does not exist. Looking in Places, sure enough it is gone! Looking in Trash the newest file / folder is April 17. Today is April 26.How I may have done this?I guess I'll find out how good my backups are..I need to hit the road for the rest of the day and may not see your responses until tomorrow.Ubuntu 10.10 on a Lenovo R61iEdit:Well, now I've really embarrassed myself. I did find the contents of /home/ray/documents. I'll have to put it down to 'mouse tripping' Earlier I had needed to empty out a USB drive so I could use it this afternoon.
1 - Using Nautilus I created a folder in /home/ray/documents called called "8G holder" to hold the contents of the 8GiB USB drive for the evening.2 - The new folder did not appear to be created, so I did it again.Moved all of the USB contents over, wiped the USB drive and set it aside for use.It now seems that through mouse tripping I some how renamed documents, to "8G holder", created a second folder named "8G holder" in the first one.So now my question is much simpler. It is OK to rename the top "8G holder" to "Documents" and expect all to return to normal?Given that Linux is case sensitive should the name be "documents" or "Documents" ?
Ubuntu :: Lost All Documents Folder
Jul 30, 2011Whilst clicking through my toolbar the other day I accidentally dragged a shortcut from my documents folder onto my desktop. Not particularly wanting it there and 'cut' not doing anything I tried 'Move To > Toolbar' and then made the somewhat dumbass mistake of pressing 'Merge' thinking that'd put it back. Instead it did exactly as it said it'd do (shock horror) and turned my documents folder into one unopenable link ie. 'The Link "Documents" is Broken. Move it to the Rubbish Bin? - This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/supergibbon/Documents" doesn't exist.'
Without any obvious Edit>Undo type option, I was hoping you may be able to get the folder back as I don't really want to lose all my documents.

Aug 29, 2010Ubuntu 10.04.1GNOME desktopOK, If you right click on the Documents folder in you home profile and select "copy to desktop" you would assume that both folders would be synced because your basically creating a short-cut for main folder to the desktop.Assuming that these folders would sync made an *** out of me, I'm fining that I have to keep copying files from one "Documents folder" to the other one.I don't want to hear about Ubuntu One because that NOT what I trying to do. I don't want to share my folder I just want them both to contain the same information. I don't understand if you make a short-cut of a folder it SHOULD contain the same information as the parent directory, you shouldn't have to open both folders and hand-sync them. That's just stupid and redundant.

May 11, 2010When I installed Lucid and first switched language/locale settings, a window popped up asking me if I wanted to change the name of the Documents, Music, Video etc folders into the new language.
Originally I was worried that this might be some irreversible operation and said no and ticked the don't ask me again box.
It seems though that this is just a cosmetic operation and I'd quite like to use this function now. Does anyone know where I can change the setting to accomplish this?
Ubuntu :: Copy All The Pictures From Various Folders In Documents To A Single Folder
Dec 8, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I want to copy all the pictures from various folders in my Documents to a single folder. So in Nautilus, I clicked on Places > Search for Files. Then chose the Documents folder and typed *.jpg in the search criteria. It found all of my pictures just fine. However it would not let me copy and paste them into a folder I put on my desktop. Copy is not on the "right" click menu and Ctrl C did not work for the highlighted search results. This is so simple in Windows but it does not seem to work in Ubuntu.

Feb 23, 2010I was messing around with fed 12 yesterday (only on a test installation) and i've hit a snag. I installed openbox and tint2, nitrogen, obconf etc so i could have a #!-style session at startup. It all worked fine until i installed pcmanfm and removed nautilus. The problem is that i can't display files in my home directory, either using pcmanfm, a reinstalled nautilus, or in terminals. Every time i try to point a file brower there it just seems to get stuck searching forever, until i kill it. Weirdly in terminator i can do an 'ls' to see visible files, but 'ls -la' causes the problem again.
ps i thought permissions might have something to do with it, so i did a 'chmod -R 777' as root. it changed permissions for quite a lot of the files but then froze again, and now the problem persists.
OpenSUSE Install :: Change Mountpoint Of Partition / Media / Documents To / Documents
Dec 25, 2009How can I change the mountpoint of my partition /media/documents to /documents.This is a partition of sdb and a fixed disk.The reason is that /media/ sometimes creates ghostdirectories while /Windows/C never does so, programmes writing/reading from this partition therfore don't work if a ghostdir_ exists.(BTW Suse is on sdb5 and sdb6. on sda is windows and used to be Ubuntu, the Suse-swap is sda5. Windows is out of use.)

Apr 14, 2010I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic as a dual boot with WinXP and love it. I've been able to mount my WinXP partition and can access files read/write successfully.
I'd like my WinXP "My Documents" folder to appear as a linked folder in my Linux Home directory.
I think I should be able to use the ln command, but I can't figure it out.
I've tried to create a link that will appear like a "folder" called WinDocs in my Home directory with this command, run from my Home folder:
ln -t /dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/ /WinDocs/
but it reports
ln: accessing `/dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/': Not a directory
I get the same results if I try /dev/hda1 etc.
I can see the contents of the folder currently in my Places listing. Its shortcut is active on my desktop.
