Ubuntu :: Remove Or List Orphaned *files*?

Jan 20, 2010

have installed some programs from source and found no trace where and what were installed and I would like to remove those installed files. So I am looking for any script or app to list all orphaned (I mean not related to any installed package) files. I am using Ubuntu Server 9.10 without any fancy X11 stuff so console version is preferred. I have found bitbleach and computer janitor in this forum but they are X11 apps.

Ubuntu :: HDD Deep Cleaning Of Deleted Files?

Jul 14, 2010

Is there a way to deep clean the supposedly "empty" areas of HDD. I've found "shred" and similar tools by googling, but they allow either deleting a file or complete wipeout of a HDD. What I'd like to do is clean up what's left of already deleted files (which can probably be still "undeleted") on a live HDD (with useful data, which doesn't need to be destroyed).

Debian :: Cleaning Up Apt/dpkg After Deleting Installed Files?

Mar 9, 2010

I'd like to clean up apt/dpkg so that it doesn't think the package whose files I've deleted is still installed, but when I run:

Code:

apt-get remove --purge linux-image-2.6.32-2.slh.4

I get the following:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.32-2.slh.4

The package does show up in the list when I run the command:

Code:

dpkg -l "linux-image*"

with "ii" in the 1st column, whatever that means. Should I just rm the matching files in /var/lib/dpkg/info?

Slackware :: System Cluttered With Unused Files - Cleaning Out Junk

Jun 16, 2011

When you unsuccessfully try to install software, does your Slackware system become cluttered with unused files? Is there a program, other than 'slackpkg clean-system', that can review your installation and identify any useless stuff? My tmp directory is set, in fstab, to delete its contents on boot. Is the tmp directory the only directory to be concerned with?

Fedora :: Automatically Renaming Files While Sorting By Date?

Apr 17, 2010

I 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.

Fedora :: Mini Script For Automatically Organizing Files

Dec 6, 2010

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.

Fedora :: Cleaning Old Packages From Yum Cache?

Mar 12, 2010

I have enabled the option to keep the yum cache when updating Fedora 12 and I was wondering if there was a way in which I could remove old versions of the same package from the cache?

I have Fedora installed on more than one machine and I make them share a common update location for their updates to avoid downloading the same packages twice (bandwidth quota expensive in Australia).

how I could accomplish that? yum clean doesn't seem to have any options to only remove old packages!!!

Example: The yum update cache has:

wireshark-gnome-1.2.5-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm
wireshark-gnome-1.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm

I wish to only keep the most recent version that is wireshark-gnome-1.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm, but for all the packages.

Fedora :: Cleaning Up - Make Epiphany Remeber Tabs After Close Browser And Open It Again?

Nov 13, 2009

I just moved to Fedora 11 from Ubuntu and I am very happy, not even thinking to go back to Ubuntu (because of gma500 driver support). How can I clean up Fedora? On Ubuntu I could go to Synaptics, remove Installed (not residetial) packages, I coud use terminal sudo autoremove, autoclean, clean. On Fedora I found out only one so far: yum clean all. Is there anything else I should now, can you share with me how you are cleaning up your Fedora? Second thing, which is not only related to Fedora, is there any chance to make Epiphany remeber tabs after I close the browser and open it again? Don't really want to use any other browser.

Debian :: How To Report An Orphaned Packages

Jul 3, 2010

A) determine if a package is orphaned

B) Report it and to whom

I'm referring to Exaile, which seems to have lost the interest of the maintainters judging by how far behind they are on releases, and lack of any excuses more info on package pages.

Programming :: Find The Orphaned Images Using Grep

Jun 16, 2010

I have inherited a wordpress theme with a folder of images that I think are no longer being used. I wanted to find the orphaned images using grep, so I wrote this script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo $PWD
for i in *.*; do
cd ..

[Code].....

Its seems like I got some false positives out of it, but it worked pretty ok. I guess. :| Of course, it is not checking for images in the content of the database.

Orphan finding has to be a wheel that is already invented.

Debian :: Lenny 505 LXDE Lists Almost All Packages As Orphaned

Jul 20, 2010

I just installed Lenny 505 LXDE (from the LXDE/XFCE install CD) on an old IBM Thinkpad 600E. It works fine (and fast). However, both apt-get and aptitude tell me that dozens of packages are orphaned, and these packages include essential things, such as the entirety of Openoffice and LXDE. Apt get reminding me that I can purge these packages (and wreck my system), and aptitude wants to remove them before doing anything. How can I force Debian to recognize that these packages were purposefully installed? Aptitude keep-all kind of worked. Autoremove no longer tries to remove the entire system, but deborphan still goes crazy and says all my packages are orphaned.

Ubuntu :: Orphaned Inodes (Each Time The Number Is Different) On EXT4

Dec 28, 2010

Each time I start my Ubuntu 10.10, I notice this messages in dmesg:

[Code]...

Each time the inode number is different. I made SMART tests on the disk, and all went fine. Do I have to worry? Could it be something related to a wrong shutdown? Update: I have just ran an fsck at boot, but when I logged in, the same orphan_cleanup was in dmesg.

Slackware :: Script To Detect Orphaned Libraries - Broken Lib Links - Missing Dependencies

Mar 9, 2010

My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.

This script is the result.

I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:

Ubuntu :: Automatically Sorting Files?

Mar 25, 2010

I download files onto my networked file server which is running Ubuntu 9.10.By default, all files are moved into the Downloads folder, I'd like to use a script or program to automatically send them into one of 5 shared folders based on what the file is.For example: archived files would be software by default, .avi or mpeg Videos, and .flac or .ogg would be Music.

Ubuntu :: Automatically Allow .exe Files To Be Run By Wine?

Jul 4, 2011

I'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?

Software :: Automatically Generate Text Files ?

Sep 17, 2010

I 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.

Code:

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.

OpenSUSE :: Cloning Files - Copied To The Other System Automatically?

Mar 8, 2010

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.
