Fedora :: Install "Change Into - Directory"
Nov 4, 2010
I've known some GNU/Linux distros, like Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE and etc for a long time, but never installed/used one.
I'm having a problem almost every time i try to install something that requires the use of the Terminal.
I'll give you the example of LibreOffice. I downloaded the LibreOffice Linux version from their official website and saved it in the "Download" directory. I extracted the files and I got a "en-US" folder, I didn't know what to do next, so I googled and found this and others sites (which had basically the same steps): [url] I'm stuck at the first step "Change into the ~/Downloads directory.". So how do I do this in the Terminal?

I just upgraded to fedora core 11. I need to change the permission of the html folder. The owner is currently set to root. Since there is no longer a root user (I just found out) it will not let my user account change the permissions in that directory from. How do you change directory permissions in fedora 11?

Yesterday I installed Fedora 14 on my computer. I was able to log in as root on a terminal fine until this morning. Now when I log in I get this:
Code:
[Silverback@Vanessa ~]$ su -
Password:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /root: No such file or directory
-bash-4.1#
I haven't deleted any files, so I have no idea how to fix this.

ive started writing scripts to launch some of my programs, but am having mixed results. i am saving them all in the /bin folder (is this typical?). for about half of the scripts they run fine from the terminal home directoy, however for the other half i must " cd /bin" before i can run "sh script". im not quite sure why this is happening.

So I have created a Bash script with the intent of the program to change the names of the files in a folder's subdirectory.The code recognises the individual subdirectories, then is able to enter into one and list the files individually, but when it tries to change their information it says;' cannot stat ' : ' No such file or directory 'As if it is looking in the directory that contains the Bash script, not its subdirectory.It is essentially saying, I see a file here called FILE but sorry, I can't change FILE because FILE doesn't exist. kweh?Is this something outside the capabilities of Bash? Am I asking too much of it? Can Bash only manipulate files that are in the same folder as the script?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo enter directory

When I try to login as a user, I get the dreaded "500 OOPS: cannot change directory:". Almost every posting I can find related to this problem was due to SELinux being enabled. My SELinux is operating in permissive mode. So why can't it open the home directory when I log in as the tarheelnk user?
Code:
[root@server1 home]# ls /home/ -l
total 36
-rw------- 1 root apache 7168 2009-09-11 16:24 aquota.group
-rw------- 1 root apache 7168 2009-09-11 16:30 aquota.user
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2009-09-11 10:07 lost+found
drwsrws--- 4 tarheelnk apache 4096 2009-09-11 14:58 tarheelnk
code....

Im trying to install net-vi_2.2.1.tar.gz its my understanding that i need to navigate the Unix terminal directory to the either the tar.gz archive or extract the file to a folder and use that as the command directory for the terminal so my first question is how do i use that folder with the terminal? what command do i use?
After that i use the readme or install text file for the rest of the commands i need but im not sure cause ive never installed from tar.gz before
How to install a .tar.gz file ?

[code]...
No such file or directory. I hate installing from source for this exact reason, something always goes wrong. and i'm left scratching my head. But I really want this boot loader.

I downloaded a mouse theme form gnome look and installed it in the themes. But it has not appeared in the pointer themes section in custimation even though it said that it is installed correctly.When I drag the file to install it again it says something along the lines of it cannot copy a directory over a directory.Where can I find where the mouse/pointer theme is located and delete it. I have searched filesystem, google and these forums and not had any luck yet.

I'm in a different type of shell (this is inside "screen"), I guess. It is like this:
Code:
sh-3.2$ cd /home/user
sh-3.2$
It doesn't change the directory.

I have my hard drive arranged with a single large ntfs data partition and a number of smaller partitions for /home etc. Here's the line in fstab:
Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD103SJ_S246J9FZ806954-part2 /home/shmuck/data ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
But the ownership for that directory is root and I can't change it for some reason, using this line:
Code:
sudo chown -R shmuck /home/shmuck/data
It just doesn't do anything.

In the old days of M$-DOS, there was the NCD (Norton Change Directory) utility. Anything of the sort in Linux?Explanatory note: you typed out the name of the directory you wanted to go to, that is, last element of the dir path.And you were, ipso facto, in that dir. If that was the only one by that name, good. When not, and if that wasn't the intended dir, you typed the same command again and you were in a second dir of that name. If this was the intended dir, good. And so on. It simply maintained a data base with the whole tree, and updated it when invoked from a newly created dir o by means of an option, NCD/R.

I have 3 images made by clonezilla now I want to restore 1 of them, but when I try to use clonezilla to restore, there's no option to restore image. I can see the images in home directory and file is owned by root in my home directory. I'm trying to transfer image to usb hdd.
Did I place image in wrong directory or is it permissions problem.

My directory structure is
/3dmodels/work/work
While I am changing to last work directory it's giving th error as:
550 Failed to change directory.
I have tried selinux issues,permission issues, anon issues,chroot issues but no solution.
Is there anything to do more than these issue ?
I am logging in as localuser. I can browse all the contents of 2nd work directory except the last work directory.
But in internet browser all works well,I can change into the last work directory and can also browse the directory but unable in command line.

1. I have two domains domain1.com and domain2.com on my centos server.
2. In a file in domain1.com I am writing the php function
chdir('/var/www/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs'); but it is not working at the same time if I am trying to change the directory to one of the subdirectory in domain1.com than it is working means chdir('/var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/css'); is working.
3. The problem is I cant able to change the directory from domain1.com to domain2.com. /var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs => /var/www/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs is not working
Is it some permission issue or anything else ? Is it something related to chroot jail or what?

I have a server with Fedora 13 with which I would like to get NFS working. I have looked up multiple howto's and tutorials, but I'm having a problem not addressed by any of them.Official how-to, another how-to, and another how-to.I have verified that nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib, portmap, and system-config-nfs are installed and running. I have verified that I have, in fact, shared the directory that I want to share, and that the proper permissions are set.
I had to go through some gyrations to get the Belkin wireless N router to allow my server to have a static IP. However, I can ping the server from the nfs client (a toshiba satellite running mint 8), and vice versa. I have (for now) disabled firewalls on both computers. I think I have disabled SELinux on Fedora 13 (for now).When I attempt to connect to the server from the client, the output looks like this:Quote:
aragorn ~ # mount -v 192.168.2.101:/test /home/kelev/test/
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Dec 18 12:21:09 2010

I'm often deep inside a directory tree, moving upwards and downwards to perform various tasks. Is there anything more efficient than going 'cd ../../../..'?I was thinking something along the lines of this: If I'm in /foo/bar/baz/qux/quux/corge/grault and want to go to /foo/bar/baz, I want to do something like 'cdto baz'. I can write some bash script for this, but I'd first like to know if it already exists in some form.

For a user on a Linux host, I need to make everything inaccessible besides his home directory. I have heard that this is usually done by changing the root directory for the user (and setting it to the user's home directory), however I couldn't find the way to do it.
I thought about the chroot command, but it seems it just runs the specified command, considering the specified directory as the root directory. So it seems chroot is not what i need. So my question is: what is the command which changes the user's root directory?
