Jun 10, 2010I'm trying to learn to rename files with the command line, and after browsing around a lot of pages I finally found a command that uppercases the first letter of a file, but the problem is that I want to understand the meaning of each command. The command is:
for i in *; do new=`echo "$i" | sed -e 's/^./U&/'`; mv "$i" "$new";done
I understand the 'for' kinda... but not the 'echo' or '`' and especially the sed command.

Aug 24, 2011I'm trying to find a software which could map sftp/scp services to a windows drive letter. I know there are quite a bunch of those available, but i haven't found a single one which could run with SYSTEM or Netservice privileges or have decent command line options so i could elevate the program myself. The mapped drive should be available for other services running on the same server.
Most of the programs (sftp netdrive, expandrive, etc) have only option to startautomatically only when someone logs in. Because of that they are useless to me.Their inability to handle non-interactive starts is a bummer too. FTP->SFTP wrappers don't count as solution despite of integrated windows support for ftp drives. The way they are handled in windows makes ftp mapping unusable without some external ftp drive mapper software.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Make System Partition Letter / Number Designations Persistent?
Aug 15, 2010Everyone who deals with Linux knows that partitions on hard drives are designated as "sdx#", i.e., sda1 sdb2, etc. I know through experimentation that the number portion of the designation is assigned not according to order on the disk, but chronologically in the order they are created.
Further, if you have several partitions on the disk-say, sda1 through sda3-and you delete sda2, the designation of sda1 will remain the same, but sda3 will become the new sda2. The creation of any further partitions on the drive will start with designation sda3 and increment from that point.
At times this creates a conundrum, especially concerning bootable partitions. Some time back I rendered a partition containing OpenSUSE unbootable because of this, even though Ubuntu owned the GRUB bootloader in the MBR. Ubuntu's GRUB could find and point to the partition using the command "sudo update-grub", but when OpenSUSE took over the boot-up process, its GRUB was pointed to the wrong partition and would freeze up.
My question is this:
Under Windows, one is able to make a Drive letter persistent. Windows will keep the drive letter for that partition and assign around it. Is there a way to change a drive designation number, or at least make it persistent, under Linux? It would be a handy method to forestall these types of booting problems, among other things.
Presently, when a person has installed Linux side-by-side with Windows and want to delete the Windows partition and expand the Linux partition into the free space, I will tell them to format the partition, then shrink it to next to nothing instead of deleting it. This preserves the partition ID scheme while giving them the space to expand their Linux partition into...especially helpful with a seasoned Linux installation that would be a PITA to reinstall and set back up.
Oh, and I already know about UUID. This article explains it, but if you look down through the comments, you will see reasons that it is problematic for desktop application and usage. I want to make it as simple as possible for new Linux users (and myself! ).

Ubuntu :: What Is Hard Drive Letter
Dec 4, 2010I can not find my hard drive letters in ubuntu. In the "computer" window it just shows it as "file system". I want to run chkdsk on another hdd that I connected to the computer. It shows up as 2 icons, one called "256 GB Solid-State Disc:256GB Filesystem and the other called "256 GB Solid-State Disc:System Reserved. This disc was installed in another computer as the only hdd and I had problems with the computer so I removed it and installed disc drive. I want to check this ssd here in ubuntu to see if there are any bad sectors etc. All the instructions I can find say to Type "Run chkdsk /[drive letter]" (without quotes) in the terminal win. I entered "sudo lshw" and the drive shows as "*-disc:1" I tried using 1, disc-1 and *-disc:1 as drive letters , example, "Run chkdsk/1" (without quotes), and I get command not found for all 3. There must be a drive letter to these discs as in windows I would guess, it appears that way as I search the net. NOTES, this computer has ubuntu 10.04 installed only and has 3gb native sata mobo, no microsoft at all. I want to check the quality of this ssd as much as possible and can overwrite or delete any and all files on it, reformat it etc. If it checks out good, I may remove the existing hdd on the computer and install this one as the only hdd and install ubuntu and use it a while to make sure it works fine, then remove it and install it to the original computer where i wanted it in the first place. That computer has win7 ultimate on it, but what matters is that one has the 6gig native sata mobo and that is where this ssd will work at its fastest

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Impossible To Type 'a' Letter In Terminal / Make It Possible?
May 27, 2010Since 2 days, when I type the lowercase 'a' letter in a terminal, nothing is written (it's not the case for the uppercase 'A' letter).
The matter appears with all terminal's software (guake, Terminal, xterm...).
The only way for me to type the 'a' letter is to type 'Insert' key before.
I tried many solutions but the matter is still here.
Here, there is some clarifications and some solutions I tried:
-If I copy and paste a text, 'a' don't appears. For example, if i try to copy and paste
'sudo apt-get install'
'sudo pt-get instll' will appears
-The matter appears 2 days ago. Before that, I removed the .gconf file
-It's not a fresh installation of ubuntu but an update from karmic to lucid. When i was under karmic, I was using KDE. Then I did an upgrade, then I tried Xubuntu and Lubuntu and finally I moved to Ubuntu. The first week under Ubuntu (Gnome) was without any matter and 2 days ago, this matter appeared.
-I tried this following command line:
xmodmap -pke >fichier.conf
and the file called "fichier.conf" (I'm french) contains this line:
keycode 24 = a A a A ae AE ae AE
-When I type this line:
printf "x61
"
a 'a' appears in my terminal.
-In tty1 and all the other programs, 'a' appears without any trouble
-I tried with other users in my computer but the matter is still the same no matter wich user I use.
-I tried to change fonts of my environment and I also tried to change fonts only for the terminal but whithout success.
-I tried to change the layout of my keyboard.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: Ssh Login Drops Letter E From Input At The Prompt?
Dec 3, 2010A strange problem has surfaced with my CentOS 5.5 Rackspace Cloud Server. I was doing OK until today. For some strange reason, whenever I login to the server, using ssh and pub/priv key authorization, or password authorization for that matter, the letter E (that's an uppercase 'e') does not echo at the prompt line, it just beeps like an error. At the login prompt, before signing in, the letter E is echoed to the terminal window. I'm using an iMac, OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and the standard Mac terminal application.
This behavior does not occur when using the terminal app locally, i.e., logged into the iMac, and all other applications on the Mac are OK with 'E's. To further test the issue, I used the Java console app that Rackspace provides through a browser (I use Firefox, latest revision). Before logging in, the login prompt will accept and echo 'E'. As soon as I authenticate and get to a system prompt, anytime I press a Shift-e, I get a beep and no echo to the terminal command line. It doesn't matter who I login as, root or another user.
To further confuse things, if I start up an instance of nano in that very same terminal window, nano accepts and echoes the 'E'! Using nano, I've created a short bash script file:
#!/bin/bash
echo "ABCDEFG"
and it echoes properly when run.
Any clues as to where I might look to resolve this bizarre behavior?
