My girlfriend just started on Fedora and she's a mess with her files. I was thinking on writing a mini-script that would put all her document files on ~/Documents, music on ~/Music, etc. I thought, maybe, there could be some software that cleans up the desktop for ya. If not, this could be a major app idea. Is there anything anybody knows of? Simple thing: putting your files on the right places.
View 5 RepliesSyslog is used to store simple log files or we can manage them too? Well, the thing is, that I need to run a software (like syslog) to collect my logs and put them in order and organize them so it makes them "understandable". I have been told that syslog can do the job and that it doesn't need a complex configuration to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI often record music from the webradio with Streamtuner.How can I rename the mp3 files recorded in a way that numbers are added to the beginning of the filename representing the order in which the titles were played on the webradio station?I am looking for an automated solution like a renaming tool since there are usually hundreds of files in a directory. I used autorename / ARen for windows back in the day when I was still on XP. What I could do with the tool was:a) Sort the files by date of creationb) add an increasing number at the beginning of the filename based on the position in the sorted list.

I'm not looking for ID3 renamers. There're maybe hundreds of them... I'm looking for software, which has its own database, or is able to communicate with some database, like CDDB, Gracenote, last.fm etc.
i have hundreds of saved websites in my bookmarks. i'm trying to organize them into folders (one for ..... videos, one for movies, one for news articles, and so on, and each of those folders has sub-categories as well). the problem is when i try to organize the contents of the folders in my bookmarks, my bookmarks closes whenever i drag website into a folder inside of a folder.
for example, i can save a website and drag it to my "videos" folder in bookmarks no problem. the problem is, when i save a website and drag it to a folder inside of a folder (bookmarks -> videos -> music videos -> rock) the bookmarks closes. it's a real nuisance because it's making it take a really long time to organize my bookmarks. how can i keep bookmarks from closing whenever i drag a website into a folder inside of a folder.
My new HP mini running Ubuntu sees my HP notebook running Vista,my Compaq desktop running Vista, and my HP desktop running XP as computers belonging to my workgroup, but I can only access my files on the XP machine. The mini and the notebook are wireless and the desktops connect to the router by cable.
All of the computers connect through the router to the DSL modem, and each of them connect to the HP wireless printer. None of the other computers see my mini as belonging to my workgroup, specifically including my XP computer. Figure that it is likely normal that I cannot with my mini open files that I find on my XP, but have to copy and paste them to my mini or one of the flash drives I use with it before I can open them.
I understand I have described a "well known problem" caused by a non standard sequence in Vista, that can be obviated by a fix to the login sequence that can be made to the linux code in my mini so that it will recognize and perform the login (user name and password) that is required when a Vista machine is encountered.
But I'm in over my head, unable to even find the command line on my mini.
I was messing around with Bash scripting just now and was wondering if there was a way to organize the output of a command into an array. Like the Bash equivalent of the PHP explode() function.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu server installation set up as a media server with Subsonic in a medium sized office environment. I allow uploads from all employees to the media folder on the server. As you can imagine, it's going to get a bit messy in there with multiple spellings of artist and album names for directory names, duplicate files, and incorrect filenames and tags. I was hoping I could find a script that I could run daily as a cron job to clean up the media drive. I would like to maintain a path similar to: /mnt/music/Artist/Album/Song.file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work on machines with different architectures, all of which share the same home directory(what is the technical term for it -- network mounting ?). Since I don't have admin privileges on these systems, I have installed programs in /home/<my_id>/bin. A program compiled for one architecture doesn't work when I login into another system. I'm thinking of creating architecture specific directories which would contain inaries/libraries specific to that architecture and creating a softlink to it t /home/<my_id>/bin. The only problem with this solution is that I can't work on two systems at the same time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using Wine to run some Windows applications (GraphicsGale, Angelcode Bitmap Font Generator, etc.) but it's a bit annoying to have Ubuntu always tell me that .EXE files are not executable, and a bit nonsensical since, by definition, they are.
Right now, every time I download an installer .EXE I have to first manually set the executable flag in the file's properties. This is a bit annoying. Is there some way I can set Ubuntu to automatically register .exe files as executables?
I have a script running as a cronjobIt outputs logs upon each run to /var/log/mylog.logIs there anyway I can delete this or compress it when it gets too large?A cheap and dirty way is to setup another cronjob to delete the log every X interval.... although I'm not sure if that's the proper way

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a personal server that is password protected. I convert my movies, and make it so that I can watch them through a browser when I want to. I have quite a few movies. They are sorted into different directories. In each directory there is a WebM folder that contains the video file.
Here is what I want to do:Scan all of the directories and subdirectories in /var/www/ for files with extension of webm.
When a file is found, go to the parent directory and create an html file with the same name as the video, only with an html extension instead of webm.
Automatically enter the following html code into the file with the file name matching the file that was found.

Is it possible to do this with a script? Is there a GUI program that can do this? I don't mind running the script every time after I convert a movie, but if it could monitor the folders that would be nice.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was having some trouble trying to get Fedora 12 installed on an HP Mini 2102. It would pause on "initializing hardware..." and I seem to recall having a similar problem with another HP mini as well. I found an old sticky note I had written to myself. It said:
add to grub kernel boot line:
"ssb.blacklist=1"
So at the install DVD grub menu, I pressed "Tab" to edit the line for installation and then appended "ssb.blacklist=1" to the line and it seems to be working now.
Long term Fedora user, I have recently decided to set up a small shuttle computer as a media centre (using mythTV), data store/NAS (so all my data is centralized), mini web server, etc. After installing I had the fun of trying to get my audio working correctly (which I did eventually .. after finding out I unplugged the audio after the second reboot and solved it after somewhere). After this, I got internet video searching working through mythTV using adobe Flash. I then went to bed only to find the internet not working (can't telnet, can't traceroute, can't anything). This is both as the mythtv user I have set up and as root.
The setup I have is:
PC -> router -> interweb
192.168.1.7 -> 192.168.1.1 -> interweb
I also have a laptop (F12) which is on 192.168.1.5.
The laptop has access to the internet just fine (no problem at router / interweb).
I have the only access to the router and disabled any ISP access (no changes in router).
I have the only access to the PC (no changes in PC).
I have set SElinux to permissive (no selinux issues).
I have temporarily disabled iptables on the PC (not firewall issue).
So, I decided to look at the differences between my two machines on the network. Initially the PC was missing the route:
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0
I changed the services on startup so thet 'NetworkManager' was off, but 'network' started (exactly like my laptop). I turned off avahi-daemon, and any other network sort of daemon which doesn't match my laptop (which I have also customized).
I then set my eth0 config file to this:
Code:
# nVidia Corporation MCP77 Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:30:1B:47:C4:FF
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=192.168.1.1
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
# DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
# NAME="System eth0"
# UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
IPADDR=192.168.1.7
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
MTU=1432
# PREFIX=24
Commented out any lines which I didn't recognize. So, right now netstat -rn returns:
Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network:
Code:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=sophie
And to me everything looks OK.
I even have inter-communication working fine (I can SSH between the two servers no problems - 192.168.1.7 <-> 192.168.1.5). I can do DNS queries from both just fine (nslookup google.com returns fine). I just can't get any information back from the net. Would it be work me doing a tcpdump or wireshark dump etc ('tcpdump > file' would be easier for me)?

I have multiple OpenSuSE 11.2 systems. With some files being on one system I would like to have another computer to have the files as well. Is there a way to have the files copied to the other system automatically? FTP is one way but it is too cumbersome. I am thinking of something like disk or directory mirroring. Does OpenSuSE have something like that?
If it was real time mirroring that would be better. I.e if a write to one file on one system is done, then this would be done on the other system with the same directory/file.
I would like to get a recommendation to get a backup program under Linux.
I use dropbox, but this doesnt syncs automatically new files created on my local folders. So if I copy this in with a Backup program I can get a fully automated online backup system.
