I honestly don't know what happened. I just checked the folder that the code was normally in and it's gone I don't have it backed up either. Is there any way I can get it back??
I searched the forum with various terms and didn't find anything, so my apologies if this is a common and/or newbie problem.It seems that when I have a USB driveplugged in to switch the files around, those that I delete are still taking up space. I first noticed it with a Chinese MP3 player and thought it was the player being crappy. I could still play all the songs that were supposedly gone. Today, I noticed it with a little thumb drive that I've had for years. I plugged it into my husband's computer running winXP, and the files showed up in a weird, unusable form. I was able to delete them for real.
Ubuntu 9.10 I recently deleted some files. I would like to know are the files kept in a directory? Like in windows recycle bin. I would like to know where these files are?
Me bought a Dell Inspiron, the HDD was 320, Me tried to install Slackware. Me first deleted every partition using GParted, created a Linux partition and then a swap partition, apparently there was nothing at all in the HDD, and then I installed Slackware 13.1 smoothly,
and next thing that happened was when I turned on my laptop on for the first time, it gave me a dual-boot. Windows or Linux? and when I logged onto the Windows, out of curiousity, it told me it does not have any file. I deleted all the partitions again using GParted. and then I turned on. It still gave me the dual-boot screen. It feels as though the MBR did not get deleted when I deleted all the partitions in the HDD.
vista was deleted there is no dual boot i see grub loading when reboot how can i uninstall ubuntu, i tried doing a boot from cd with recovery disc but get error oxd0000017 what to do now.
i got this new computer with Windows 7 on it and promptly installed Ubuntu 10.10. it didn't recognize my graphics card or screen, and i was too lazy to figure it out. (xorg.conf was missing?) anyway, I went back to windows and deleted the partition that linux was on. When i reboot the computer, all it shows is "grub rescue>" and a command line. as you can probably tell by my writing, i am a teenager who lives under my parents' roof and they bought me this computer, and now it doesn't work...so i used my backup disk and i reinstalled windows back to factory settings, and it still shows up with a grub command line. so does this mean that my win os is misplaced or something.. I don't know if this matters, but i have a Gateway with Intel Pentium dual-core processor.
My laptop has two os. one is windows vista. and other is Ubuntu. I am currently on ubuntu system, this is my primary OS.There are 4 partitions of my hard diskWindows OSLinux(Ubuntu OSData Now the problem part. The data partition is NTFS. I have mounted this partition on the location /media/windrive-a under ubuntu OS.A little while back i decided to delete the mounting of the data partition and i fired command rm -r /media/windrive-a/. To give me a shock; all my data on data drive is gone.Now, I know this is not the command to remove mounted partition. But I have committed the wrong. Is there any way i can get my data back. These are very important data for me.
After installing numerous stuff on my Slackware system, I notice I am running out of hard-drive space. I see that /tmp/SBo has about 1G of staff that I recently installed --- may I safely delete this staff?
I have a problem with Fedora Red Hat (2.6.23.17), every time I restart the server, the eth configuration is deleted and replaced by a new one. For example, my configuration: eth0 --> static ip address
I restart the server, then eth0 file is deleted and replaced by eth1 with default configuration. I try to create an eth0 and give it the static ip, I stop the network I get at the end: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
But when I start it back I get: bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. However, if I configured the static ip to eht1 it will work perfectly. But I still get "SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device" when I stop it.
In my organization, we have a centralized home directory for all users which gets mounted from all the machine where user logs in.Since any XYZ user can login to any of hundreds test machines and run 'sudo su - myusername', hence taking control of my home dir.How do I track who took control of my home dir and deleted its contents.
I lost my folder name "....hemanth" while moving the folder "....hemanth" to "Documents" using mv command in the terminal. As there is already a folder named Documents in that destination folder I lost folder. How to retrieve the folder as that folder is very important for me.
The man page for rm says Quote:Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file. Do you know of a way to recover a file deleted with rm?
I am using Backtrack 4 Final, which is a Linux distro that is Ubuntu based. I had a directory that contained around 5 files. I deleted one of the files, which sent it to the trash. I then zipped the directory up (now containing 4 files), using this command:
zip -r directory.zip directory/
When I then unzipped directory.zip, the file I deleted was in there again. I couldn't believe this, so I zipped up the directory again, and the file reappeared again but this time could not be opened because the operating system said it didn't exist or something. I don't remember the exact error, and I cannot make this happen again. why a file that was deleted from a directory would reappear in that directory after it was zipped up?
I've got a Dell M90 with an NVidia Quatro FX 3500 gpu. In Windows it would idle at around 45degrees. In Ubuntu 9.1 it idles at 65. Doing anything at all takes it up to 75-80 and playing a 3d game takes it to 90 withing a couple minutes.
I'm running a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04. I have a 2002 gateway machine with a 2GHz processor and 1.25GB of RAM and a 40GB Hard Drive. My graphics is onboard Intel. Whenever I try to install Ubuntu 9.10, the screen will inevitably freeze up on me. The last kernel I tried was 2.6.31-15. Usually I'm running pogo games (a java application) along with internet radio. When the radio cuts out, I know I'm in trouble. When it freezes up, the mouse will move around but nothing is "clickable". I can move it around, click it on things, even try CTRL-ALT-DEL // CTRL-ALT-F2 //or even CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or CTRL-ALT-ESC.
(So it's not like I can find the offending process and kill it because everything is frozen up). Nothing works except pulling the plug on my computer. I was told I could "create" an xorg.conf file since it no longer exists with karmic. But when I tried this, I could no longer get past the GRUB menu. It threw me from the grub menu to a terminal screen. I have no idea whether I can get the system to boot from the terminal screen. Is there a way to create a new xorg.conf file that won't disable my computer?
Say I have a file that's downloading (from a source that's hard to re-download from), but accidentally deleted from the filesystem namespace (/tmp/blah), and I'd like to recover this file. Normally I could just cp /proc/$PID/fd/$FD /tmp/blah, but in this case that would only get me a partial snapshot, since the file is still downloading. Furthermore, once the download completes, the downloading process (e.g. Chrome) will close the FD. Any way to recover by inode/create a hard link? Any other solutions? If it makes any difference, I'm mainly concerned with ext4.
I was installing windows vista on my computer, so I backed up everything to a external drive which was formatted with ext2. I then proceeded to install windows vista. When I got to the partition section I tried installing windows vista to my raid 0. When it didn't work I decided that I would delete all my existing partitions and create a new one. Well in my haste I accidentally deleted my ext2 partition from my backup drive that was still connected. As soon as I realized what I had done I shutdown the windows install and disconnected my external drive. This is the current state of my drive from parted:
Model: WD 15EADS External (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 1500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
I know that the drive only had one partition before and that it took up the entire disk and it was ext2 (maybe ext3).
Broadcast Accounts...' and 'Ubuntu One...' from under the username menu on the top panel So it went from Screenshot2.jpg to Screenshot.jpg. (The first screenshot is from my laptop which works perfectly - just to demonstrate what I want my desktop (on the right) to look like)I have no idea how I did it, but have spent all day trying to get the buttons back, downloading many applications (and learning a lot about customising gnome!) but to no availEDIT: I've also noticed that the 'Synchronize on Ubuntu One' option when you right click on files and folders does not exist on the desktop pc
recover deleted files using "debugfs" & "extundelete" by running:Code:sudo debugfs /dev/sda3 and find inode number of deleted file using "ls -d" command and then running:Code:sudo extundelete /dev/sda3 --restore-file <inode#>but when my desired file was in a deleted folder I can't find my desired file inode number using debugfs
Somebody deleted a folder from /opt, now how I to know who did it? should I login to every user from root and check the history? or there is better and easy solution?
I have a dual boot system - vista & fedora.I was cleaning my hard disk drive, using a partition manager for windows.I moved the swap partition without much thinking about the consequences - and now I can't boot into fedora. It gives the following error mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3 No such file or directory.
I deleted all the contents of the /tmp/ folder while X is running.rm -R /tmp/* Now the X is continuously restarting without showing the login screen. Is there any way to fix this
