Decided to try to use my console but it didn't work the way I thought it would. What is the proper procedure to log into my console? I've tried to enter data given to me at http://www.zaphu.com/2008/05/30/ubun...-m4a-playback/ It entered the first line of text but not the unwrapped second line. Another line appeared asking my 'neil' login. Tried to enter my password but typed letters wouldn't enter. What do I do?

I was under the impression that if I have any programs not installed by the package manager, they belong in /usr/local rather than /usr. But if I put the executable in /usr/local/bin, and the jar files into /usr/ local /lib, I get runtime errors about being unable to load the Java classes. So I resorted to putting things in /usr/bin and /usr/lib and it worked fine.Is this something that can only be corrected by compiling differently, or am I missing an installation step?

Try it . Its an amazingly simple and useful software especially when u download movies from net and they are split in to many parts.It's just one of those programs that is tiny and just works.Using this software a big avi file can be splited in to many parts as well as many avi files can be fused in to one avi file.2 things are required for successful installation in Ubuntu ....A) Kylix Library.B) Hjsplit installation.Please note that a Kylix library needs to be installed on your computer before running HJSplit for Linux.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just downloaded Slack- 13.37 using Filezilla..I downloaded from an FTP server the entire directory of Slackware - Current (32 Bits) ..There were some problems encountered:1. When I selected the entire folder in FZ , the Queue size was reported as 4 GB.2. I started downloading and after significant time , still the Queue size was reported as around 3.8 GB..I was perplexed as I have a decent bandwidth and it cannot be. To dispel my doubt , I saw the properties of the Slackware directory in which it was downloading. It showed 1.9 GB.. Is the Q size not dynamic? (Total size - Downloaded size)
3. I was on the edge of my seat as my HDD had only roughly about 4 GB ...So , the Q size was kinda misleading..In a haste , I thought I would remove 2 big installations and wiped off Openoffice as anyway I was planning to go in for libre...I moved some other files to a different partition to ensure additional space4. At the end , early in the morning I woke up and saw it had finished ..But there was a failed transfer of 1 hidden file ..There is still 450 MB left in my partition, dont know why it got omitted.5. Now I want to check the integrity of the download bfor burning to a DVD..Should I use md5 sum? I am not able to determine slackware size by googling...In fact I should have gone in for a pre compiled ISO instead of this directory! But it wasnt available yesterday..6. Is there any good download manager like DAP/ Orbit / Leechget which also gives options like turning off comp after download (useful for overnight installs)...The DW helper in Mozilla is not that good ...I want a utility to split the download into 4/5 channels and speed up the download and most importantly show a graphical menu clearly showing Speed, Size, Time left , etc similar to windows DM

I have just installed the Xubuntu. And I feel that to use it play a mp3 is like kill myself twice.
I try to play it with Exaile, the boxed player with Xbuntu. But it says I need to install some mpeg codecs.
I found so many depends with sudo apt-cache depends.
How to install them? one by one?!
So I created a new branch from master and eventually merge the changes back, only some changes seemed to merge and it would seem I merged in one direction. Eventually I just decided to be sure master received all the 'experimental' changes then I deleted the experimental branch and made a new one. So this question is turning into a few questions suddenly:
1) How do I match up branches but keep them separate?
1a) Is that bad practice to not just make a new branch?
2) Why were the branches not the same after after one merge?
2a) Am I only supposed to call a merge on the one that I want to have all of the changes?
I am setting up a file server using Ubuntu and want to make sure I set up a folder structure that will last. Where should I be placing everything that I am sharing (Music, Pictures, Videos, etc)? In theory, if I was setting this up on Windows, I would create a folder directly under C: and set up the different areas of sharing under that (not that that approach would be best either).
Based on constructive criticism, the question is rather ambiguous. My question could be restated to ask "Where shouldn't I set this up? Would /usr be an appropriate place to start? Or would /opt be better?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a linux noob and that is the reason I want to boot my windows xp by default. Now kubuntu boots first. I've googled how to do this but the topics of other people with the same 'problem' were old or maybe incorrect. Because the official GRUB Ubuntu wiki says you should not change the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file manually. The first line on the .cfg file is also a warning: Do not edit this file. So it continued looking for a proper way to change the boot order. Then I found something about etc/grub.d and also etc/default/grub. The problem is I don't understand how to change the boot order using this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently started using Linux Mint (version 10) on a Dell Mini 1012 netbook. I'm using a loop device to mount a file on a NAS but whenever this loop device is mounted and has been accessed, my machine fails to shutdown.
Firstly I mount a share on the NAS using cifs (the NAS is aimed at Windows machines so doesn't support NFS). I have a sparse file on the share (which I created using Cygwin in Windows, using the dd command).
I used losetup to create a loop device and formatted it as reiserfs.This works and I can successfully use the mount point. I'm using it with Backintime.If I try to shutdown my machine without unmounting the loop device, shutdown hangs.
These messages just keep repeating and the system never shuts down.So I assume the problem is something to do with unmounting the CIFS/loop device.If I unmount the loop device all is fine. I don't need to unmount the cifs share.Any ideas on how to resolve? Should I add a script to run during shutdown (i.e linked from /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d) to sync and unmount the loop device? Or is there a better solution?
Whenever execute the below scriptlet with out proper file name it deletes /tmp directory .I guess this is because value of variable a didnt get initialized and there for rm -rf /tmp/ get executed and entire /tmp directory get deleted.How would i avoid any empty variables to be used in script? as this is a classic case of destructive script.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter file to delete from tmp"

Every time kubuntu updates its headers/boot image I get another version on disk in /boot. These also show up in menu choices when I boot. I currently have 7 or 8 versions and would like to get down to three or four.
In the past I just deleted the files of related versions from /boot but is this the preferred method? Is there a better/safer way to get rid of old kernels?
I just received my Slackware 13.1 & the 'Official Guide to Slackware Linux' book. I know that there is a big learning curve to use Slackware and that is why I purchased it - according to Distrowatch, "...if you learn Slackware, you learn Linux!" But, while I am 'learning Linux', I would still like to have a linux distro installed that would be more of a 'no-brainer'.
So the question is, which distro should I install first, Slackware or say, OpenSuse? I know that if I were going to dual-boot with XP, that XP should be installed first - does order matter for 2 linux distros too? Also, are there any points to remember to do during the installation processes so that I end up with a working, dual-boot computer?
I'm trying to find a proper command to move a certain set of files according to date/time range. I am thinking that the command should be something like:
Code:
ls -l | grep 'date/time range' | mv /folder
