trying to write my thesis in Lyx 1.6. It works fine on my windows laptop at home but Not on my work computer. The problem is, when i try to view it in pdflatex it comes with with: Lyx: file name error The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces
View 1 RepliesIs it possible, in Linux, to rename a file from something without spaces to something containing spaces? I know I can create directories and files with spaces by doing:
mkdir "new dir" and:
touch "new file.txt"
I want to rename files from:
imgp0882.jpg to something like:
20091231 1243 some topic.jpg
And how would it look in a shell script that uses parameters like:
for i in *.jpg do
rename "$i" "$somepath/$mydate $mytime $mytopic$extension"
?
I'm new to Linux (using PCLinuxOS 2009.2), coming from Windows, and I've written myself a little shell script to download files from my camera and then automatically rename them according to a date-and-topic pattern. As you can guess by now, I'm stuck on the bit about renaming. If you want to see my script, here's a copy. I'm not using jhead for this renaming because that only works with JPEG files but I want a single solution for any media format including videos.
I am total new to linux as I worked mostly on RTOS (symbian). My problem is, I need to find the file IOSTREAM.H and I am following commands below:
1) cd /
2) find . iostream.h ( finds the file / directory from the current path)
It shows No such File or Directory
I'm installing some software on a RedHat based O/S and have the instruction to
- 'Edit the document document name on the installation path.'
How do I find what the installation path is for this document? Are all programs installed in the same basic place on Linux machines?
I have tried the 'locate' command and it is not found. I have tried (find / -name 'documentname') and get a whole bunch of output saying:
find: /lost+found: Permission denied
find: /proc/tty/driver: Permission denied

I have just installed SABnzb application in my home folder. The executable file is SABnzb.py When I run the command in the Konsole # python SABnzb.py I have this Quote: python: can't open file 'SABnzbd.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
View 5 Replies View RelatedI open an ODS file and edit it and save, fine. But sometimes and for no readily apparent reason it refuses to save the document with the error message:"Error saving the document <filename>: Write error. The file could not be written". I have upgraded my version of OpenOffice but the issue remains. Once it starts with that error the only way to save the file is to actually abandon my change and restart OOffice. Today I lost an hours stuff as the auto save was also failing but not giving me any warning it was failing. I'm not sure if this is an OpenOffice, file system, Fedora or permissions issue though I've not noticed anything similar with other applications. Have set permissions to 777 but still get the error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just realized that the "Documents" folder in my home directory has changed to a file which is a link to the /home/user/Documents and it is unaccessible. It does not (no longer) show in the "file browser" when I try to click it from "places" it says:
Error: Could not open location 'file:///home/user/Documents' No application is registered as handling this file When I list from the terminal (i.e. %ls -ltr ) it list the file (which was suppose to be the directory) as
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 24 2010-11-01 18:20 Documents -> /home/user/Documents
NB. user in this case is my user name on the system, I am just using user for this forum. how to retrieve the information from the folder and remove the linked file to remain with the original folder
I am working on getting my software packages installed on my fresh Slackware64-13.0 installation. Some (but definitely not all) of my executables are unable to be run.
I understand what PATH is for. It is for locating files, folders, executables in those directories when running from a Terminal window.
So, for example, I have just installed Cisco VPN Client for Linux, and it is the strangest thing. I should have access to this. I must not be understanding something here. Does anyone have any idea why this is not working for me? I have put in an example of what I am talking about.
I have no idea why this is not working.
Am trying to do a mount of a Windows folder onto Linux. The path has some spaces in it like //hostname/path 1/path 2/path 3. How I should handle this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.
having bit of a trouble with path expansion of strings that contain some whitespace and wildcards First my script sources a configuration file that contains array assignments
Code:
...
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[2]=/boot/config-* # no problems
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[3]="/root/random dir with space/file*" # this is the problem
...
then later in the script I want to expand BACKUP_TARGET_FILES elements as below
Code:
IFS_DEFAULT="$IFS"
shopt -s nullglob
shopt -s dotglob
IFS=
[code]....
this code seems to work but I'm not quite satisfied with it. I'd like to get rid those IFS changes, but haven't found out a solution as of yet. Problem with default IFS seems to be that with it neither $pattern or "$pattern" work; it either interprets pattern as multiple words (because of spaces) and so expands to wrong paths or it ignores * because it's within quotes.

This is a bit of a basic question but I'm trying to copy all .doc files I find in a directory and copy them to another directory.I know each command:

and:
cp filename location
how can I combine the two commands?
I really missed the old Ubuntu file/dir. copying feature. When I copied in nautilus file explorer and paste into a terminal or text editor, I got the exact path (eg. /home/user/abc.txt), but when coming the Ubuntu 10.04, it added some "file://" prefix to the actual path (eg. file:///home/user/abc.txt), and I always had to manually delete the "file://" prefix. I don't see clearly that we need to place "file://" in front of the actual path (maybe just in the case we want to put the path in an Internet browser?). Wish this reversed back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been searching the site to find out what the program path is for Ubuntu programs, but can't find what I'm looking for. My search terms were :
- "program path" Ubuntu
- change "program path"
- "open with" "program path"
I came across a few articles but nothing really seemed to help me. Here's the problem; anytime I try to open a PDF file from my browser, I get either the "Open With..." option or the "Save to..." option.
If I select "Open With..." the default has been changed to Virus Scanner (ClamTK) which I recently installed. Admittedly, I was fooling around with virus scanners to see how they work in Ubuntu. But now my Document Viewer won't open up the PDF files. If I select "Save to..." and save the PDF file(s) to my desktop, and double-click the PDF file from my desktop, then Document Viewer will open up the file. What is the program path for me to change the default program back to Document Viewer???

The above mentioned program file contains a header file <asm/bitops.h>, that I need to use in the program.It seems that this header file is not recognized by the system, and it needs to be included somewhere in the system so that the terminal would allow me to compile this program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Apache/2.2.3 on Centos 55. I am having an issue that is pretty strange to me. Whenever I navigate to a url on my webserver from outside my network. I have to put a '/' in the directory path for example When I type in: mydomain.com/directory1 it winds up redirecting to the hostname for my server HOWEVER When I type in mydomain.com/directory1/ it works, since I am adding the '/' at the end of the path. I suspect it is because I do not have my FQDN set up correctly.I did not have this issue when I was using Ubuntu 10.04 , I suspect because Ubuntu automagically set this up for me. Is there a particular way I need to setup my FQDN in centos to get this to work properly? I have tried going into /etc/hosts and adding my FQDN in there, but I do not think I did it properly, is there a particular way the /etc/hosts file needs to be setup?
