Fedora :: Finding Files With Wildcards In The Actual Filename?

Sep 5, 2010

I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".

General :: Finding A Cmd That Will Kill All Processes That Are Accessing A Specific Filename?

Dec 16, 2009

I thought 'killall' would work, but I need to provide the "command" to kill. I'm really looking for a command that will kill all processes that have a particular file/directory open. Currently, my script fails on an 'umount' because there are several processes that have this filesystem open. The command 'lsof' is a good tool to determine which processes have a filesystem open, but I don't really want to write a script that parses through the 'lsof' output to capture PSIDs. Is there a linux command that can kill all processes that may have a particular filesystem open?

Ubuntu :: Does F-spot Edit Actual Files

Jul 15, 2010

Having just spent many hours going through my entire photo collection tagging, rotating and editing (red eye, cleaning up etc), I am now sat with the window open deciding whether or not it's safe to close it.

I cannot find a save or apply button so I'm not sure if these changes are only made in F-spot itself or if I have to do anything else to make sure it saves to the files.

I DID check the option about storing data in the files where possible but I don't want to just assume it and have to do all this again.

Ubuntu :: Could Not Get Actual CrunchBang Install Files

Apr 10, 2011

I had the problem: "could not download all repository indexes". On Cruncheee (An EEEPC specific Crunchbang distro), which I managed to "fix" by changing the /etc/apt/sources.list file by replacing it with stuff I found in a guide. (Shown at end). Now when I press the Reload button on Synaptic no more errors come up! But when I search for "audacious" (music player) I can only find "crunchbang-audacious-theme", and no actual crunchbang installing things.

What have I actually done to my my sources.list file, did I tell it to look elsewhere for servers with lists of dependencies? Is a "repository" just a place on the internet which has lots of dependencies in it? If I were to just add more and more stuff to my sources.list file and kept pressing "reload" on Synaptic, would I eventually find some packages to install Audacious? What does "sudo apt-get" do? Is that exactly the same as finding something on synaptic and clicking it?

My new sources.list:
## Add comments (##) in front of any line to remove it from being checked.
## Use the following sources.list at your own risk.
deb [URL] dapper main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src [URL] dapper main restricted universe multiverse
[Code].....

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.

And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?

PS: {Filename} doesn't work.

Ubuntu :: Sorting Files Based On Filename?

Nov 2, 2010

I'm currently trying to organize a media server so that things will be in some kind of logical order rather than the current setup of dumping everything of a certain content type into a single folder. However, the size and diversity of content within these disorganized folders precludes me doing things manually. Does anyone know of a program or script that could sort the files into folders based on part of a filename

Ubuntu :: Indexed Search For Files By Filename?

Jun 23, 2011

Is there really no way of having with a GUI an indexed file search by filename (not contents etc) which gives a detailed list? Great big icons as a "result" is no good to me, I want "details" that I can then click on to either open or copy etc. I tried the totally useless "Tracker" and Zeitgeist in my 11.04 is no better. There is a fantastic product in the win environment called everything.exe which does exactly what I want. I cannot be alone in this type of requirement. It has to have a GUI.

Programming :: Moving Files To Directories Based On Part Of Filename?

Jul 6, 2010

I have a single directory of pairs of files, with the pairs sharing a string as the beginning of the filename:

SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T3_A18_001.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T7_A20_002.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone02_T3_A19_003.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone02_T7_A21_004.ab1
...etc

I need to create a subdirectory for each pair then move the pair into the subdirectory.

I accomplished the first step using:

$find /foo -name '*T3*' -exec mkdir '{}.wrk' ;

I can use a regex to designate the pair and associate the directory, but how do I use regex in a path as the output of a move command?

Fedora :: Mounted ISO Is Smaller Than Actual ISO?

Jul 5, 2011

I have an ISO of a game I own that shows up as 5gb. When I mount the ISO like this:

mount -t iso9660 -loop game.iso /mnt/loop
and go to /mnt/loop and execute
du -hs

it returns 2.5gb. Examination of all the files and directories in /mnt/loop does indeed add up to 2.5gb. So my question is what happened to the rest of it? Does the 5gb ISO contain a bunch of empty space? Should I try to burn it to a DVD and see what happens or should I burn it to a dual layer disc? I don't want to waste a dual layer disc if I don't have to.

Server :: Build The Virtual Machines To Exclude The Actual Mail Files And Mail Logs From CentOS?

Oct 12, 2010

I have to administer a few mail servers, a mail log server, 4 nameservers and a web server -all running on Centos 5 server distributions. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and mail log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves. I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions:

- How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program?
- How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Find Actual Free Memory (RAM)?

May 10, 2011

When we have Oracle 10g in RedHat, the free memory goes down soon after bootup of the system and never increases. I learnt from various forums that Linux does cache the disk files for the better performance. And when any application requires memory they get the memory and the caching does not block any memory. We want to capture the free memory available for one the harware planning activity.

1) When we use vmstat command, it gives very less free memory. since it caches large size files, the free memory is very low.

2) We tried free command, but how do we know how much actual free memory is available. i.e. excluding the cache usage
