c@c-laptop:~$ locate /.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bashrc
/home/c/.bashrc
/root/.bashrc
I need to edit /home/c/.bashrc
However when I go to place> Home folders to go to /home/c , the file is not there.
What should I do to make the file appear so that I can edit it?
It is obviously a system file.
I have search and there is similar topic but for 9.10 and the problem contains "UUID" [URL]I was wondering if the fix listed there will help my problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two machines running SQUEEZE, both installed and configured within the same week (not simultaneously). Both get the users info from a NIS server. In one of the machines (named "corona"), users cannot login, neither locally nor by ssh, in the other one ("xxlager") there is no problem. Both mount the users home directories by NFS. I have not found much useful info in the web. /etc/passwd, /etc/group/, /etc/shadow, are equally configured. The only difference I have found is when I use getent. Using "getent passwd isaenz" on xxlager yields:
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:/bin/tcsh
but on corona the result is
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:
so the shell info is empty.
Checking /var/log/auth.log I see a message saying:
"User isaenz not allowed because shell does not exist"
But "ypmatch isaenz passwd" returns complete information for isaenz, both on xxlager and corona.
I have a 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 / 64 bit windows 7 dual boot setup, each installed on different drives.Everything worked fine for weeks, but after booting into windows for maybe the third time, when I tried to boot back into ubuntu, the splash screen and xwindows failed to start, dropping me to a terminal to log in.After rebooting a few more times to see if i could wish the problem away, some kind of fix/recovery screen came up and gave me the chance to try to update/repair installed packages, which I took.Now, when I boot, I get:
ata_id[428]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:80'
ata_id[427]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:64'

I installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my acer aspire one with the "install inside windows" option. The first time it booted into ubuntu properly and completed the installation, then it automatically restarted and now when I try to boot ubuntu, I get the following error message:
Code:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat/proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules(cat/proc/modules; ls/dev)
Alert! /dev/sbd2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Just tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB device on my Windows 7 machine but something goes wrong. Far into the installation the computer restarts, asks me which operating system I want to start (it had already done this once before) and I choose Ubuntu. Then I get three alternatives:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
I pick the top choice, and get the following message:
ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
If I start recovery-mode i get the same message. There's some text above the message that reads "new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address"... Could there be a problem with the usb-drive? If I remove the USB drive I get the message: Gave up waiting for root device.
my laptop doesnt have any cdrom drive and all usbs are broken so wubi is my only option. oh and i use win 7 starter. i tried to install netbook edition to my laptop but i always get error. i can install with only "acpi workarounds". i dont even understand what it is the error and why i'm getting this error.

Opening it with pico shows a file with binary data.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI want to copy a file from an old directory to a new directory and ideally I would like that the 'mv' command itself could create the directory for me in one step...That is to say that the directory would not exist until 'mv' has been called as in:Code:mv olddirectory/file.dat newdirectory/file.datso mv would create the directory 'newdirectory' in the above call....I am not sure if this is possible however, that is to say I think it may be necessary that the directory 'newdirectory' already exists before I make the above call to mv, as when I make try the above call when 'newdirectory' doesn't exist I get the following error:Quote:mv: cannot move `test1/4215/4215-001R.fit' to `test2/test.fit': No such file or directoryso to sum up, my question is:is there some paramater for 'mv' that I can change so that it will create the new directory as well as copy the file and if not, are there other commands that might do this?

I have one file called test.sh and in that file I have the below code. All this code is, is paths to three directories (as you can you can clearly see!).
Code:
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP="Documents /bin /sbin"
Now I have this other file which reads the directories (by using $BACKUP) and creates a tar file of everything in that folder. But what I am unsure of what to is create a bit of code that will simply look in test.sh, read all the directories and print a line saying either they all exist or some are missing. If possible it would be good to know which directories are missing too!

I was using the following command to search for tmp files older than 15 days for deletionI used "ls -l" first just in case
Code:

then i noticed that occasionally i get a "No such file or directory" error
When I looked at the directory, the file was not there.How does "find" find a file that doesn't exist?Is it possible that the file can be deleted right at the moment after a file is found and before the command executed?
