General :: Send Files To Trash Using Terminal?

Mar 20, 2011

I typically use rm to delete files, but they don't end up in my trash folder in case I want to recover them. How do I make that happen and how do I access my trash folder via terminal? Doing me best to work from terminal rather than GUI and this one has me stumped. I am using Mint Julia.

OpenSUSE :: Cannot Send Files To Trash

Feb 21, 2009

I updated to KDE 4.2 when it came out on openSUSE 11.1 and things were working OK.

Now I can no longer send files to the Trash. I get an error in Dolphin saying "The trash has reached its maximum size! Cleanup the trash manually."

I deleted a bunch of stuff from my Trash and I have 1.7GB free on my /home partition so it's not a lack of space.

Dec 24, 2010

I have a problem with a couple of folders in the Trash. If I click on the Trash icon, 2 foldersare there, and when I try to delete them, it just says "Failed to delete the item from the trash"

But when I go to .local/share/Trash there are no files there! Anyway, I tried using the command "sudo rm -rf .local/share/Trash", it shows no error, but the files continue when I click in the trash icon.

General :: Dolphin Can't Move Files To Trash?

Jul 12, 2011

I have Ubuntu 10.l0 installed on my laptop. I recently install the KDE desktop from the Software Center. Today, I noticed something strange. I tried to move a file to the trash when I got this error message: "The trash has reached its maximum size! Cleanup the trash manually." I don't have any files in the trash. I went back to Gnome, and was able to delete the file. I opened up Dolphin while still in Gnome, and couldn't delete anything, so I know that this isn't a KDE problem

General :: [Bash] Send Command To Another Terminal?

Sep 10, 2010

I open up 2 xterms on my desktop, A(/dev/pts/0) and B(/dev/pts/1).I can write from A to B using redirection e.g. echo "test" > /dev/pts/1How do I run a command from A on B? e.g. "clear"Basically I'm putting the 2 terminals side by side, and using terminal B to display the contents of the current working directory, by running the following in A:export PROMPT_COMMAND="ls -a > /dev/pts/1"but this fills up the screen pretty fast. I was actually looking for a way to clear up the second terminal.

Ubuntu :: After Files Deleted Still Shows Up As Full - Shown In Hidden Trash Files

Mar 9, 2011

I have a Kingston 8gb Datatraveler that has been giving me troubles lately. For some reason after I delete files from it it still shows up as full and the files are shown in the hidden trash files. How do I get rid of these files? I can't delete them as they just show back up. Also, I tried to format the drive with gparted and it won't unmount. When I right click and select information, at the bottom it says: Unable to find mount point. Unable to read the contents of the file system. Because of this, some operations may be unavailable.

General :: Way To Send All Files To Unbuntu?

Nov 15, 2010

I'm trying to get some insight on how to move forward. I have a bit of a problem. I am just starting out in unbuntu and I have no experience working with 2 os on my computer (coming from windows). I have a lot of files (music, pictures, movies) in windows, but I want to use them on unbuntu. Is there a way for me to have both os access those files, or better yet, is there a way to send all my files to unbuntu, so I can start deleting all my stuff in windows?At the moment, I'm planning to burn all my files to dvds (in windows), then just drop them off in unbuntu, but I'd love it if there was a way which didn't involve me burning tons of dvds...Oh yea, and programs too... can I transfer them, or do I need to just reinstall them on unbuntu (like stepmania, guildwars, dvd shrink, kmplayer, etc

General :: FTP Commandline Script To Send Files

Mar 1, 2011

I use in Ubuntu proftpd to send files with a little script over the internet to my website.
If I write all these scripts it's a lot of work and my first question is what is the best way to send files over.

For example do you need to type:
put /directory/file.gz /www/file.gz ? or can it shorter? like
put /directory/file.gz /www/ because then ftp complains it can't create file

General :: Send Commands To Another "pseudo Terminal"?

May 8, 2010

Is there some way to send commands to another "pseudo terminal" or otherwise access one when the desktop environment has frozen to get a program there to save its data? (i.e. after logging in remotely) I tried "echoing" to "/dev/pts/X" (X = number) but that doesn't seem to work. It just displays whatever is echoed there -- it is not accepted as input.

Ubuntu :: Files In Trash Need To Restore

Mar 22, 2011

I understand you can't restore files from the trash but when I right click on the trash at the top it says "restore files", however clicking on it does nothing. So I tried copying the files in the trash (160 MP3 albums)over to another folder and the only thing that transfers is each album folder without the contents. When i try to move the contents I get an error: items in the trash may not be modified. I can't move each folder individually either, same result. I am not modifying anything I am only moving it.

Ubuntu :: Where Do Files In The Trash Exist On The Live CD

Sep 17, 2010

I recently have been trying out the Ubuntu live CD.

I have a shared computer where some are suspicious of anything other than Windows.
The live CD is an excellent way forward.

As I understand it Ubuntu is loaded into the computer RAM, thereby it makes no actual changes to the computer as it does not load into the hard drive.

I have noticed that if I have been doing work on the computer and forgotten to empty the trash, when I run the live CD on another occasion this material is still in the trash.

Is data put into the trash saved to the hard drive?

It does not matter to me if it is as long as I have deleted it but I would like to know where it goes if it does save to the hard drive.

I am running Windows 7 on a 64bit PC

Mar 19, 2010

i have an issue due to some high security requirements. what i want to do is to remove the files in trash folder permanently from the memory so that they cannot be recovered again. am aware of the "shred" command but i dont know if it can reach to files that are already in trash.I have found a solution but it requires to fill the whole unused memory with a file that consist of some ramdom bits and than deletes it:

dd if=/dev/zero of=zero.small.file bs=1024 count=102400
shred -z zero.small.file
cat /dev/zero > zero.file

Fedora :: Recover Files Deleted From KDE Trash?

May 27, 2010

I moved a few files from a directory in my home directory structure to the KDE trash folder, and then deleted them from the trash folder. About a minute later I regretted this, and now I'd like to see if there's any way to recover the files. First, are there any good utilities for restoring accidentally deleted files? If so, where would I look for these files? Does the KDE trash config file actually correspond to a physical directory somewhere, or do the files just remain hidden in their original location?

Ubuntu :: Trying To Updelete, Found Terabyte Files In Trash?

Apr 20, 2010

I cancelled a partition resize accidently and the restarted it and it went on it's merry way. after it had resize my 500G partition into a 100 and 400 I noticed that most of my files were gone. I have my Documents folder, but my Music, Kids TV shows, wallpapers, and Pictures are gone. I starting going thru url to try an fix this as well as trolling the forums. At the moment I have 1 program going thru the drive's image, and another going thru the actual drive. While still waiting for this I looked in the trash. lots of files, I attempted to copy them out. Apparently on my 500G drive I have 14Tb of files.After sudoing Trash I was able to get in and I see that there are some odd sized files. The largest of them are:

File name file size
#6463091 2.7Tb
#14114451 2.5Tb
#6461878 2.1Tb

And these are about the size of I had on there, the largest being more or less what I had before I moved off some data:
File name file size
#6461059 544G
#6462620 52G
#14106973 7.9G
#3467474 3.9G

Also using ddrescue I made and imagine file, sadly I can't mount it as an iso. when I try to mount it following the datarecovery guide it says no file system found. I have e2fsck going thru it atm.

Ubuntu :: Send Command To Another Terminal?

Sep 10, 2010

I open up 2 xterms on my desktop, A(/dev/pts/0) and B(/dev/pts/1).

I can write from A to B using redirection e.g. echo "test" > /dev/pts/1

How do I run a command from A on B? e.g. "clear"

Ideally I should be able to do this from a script.
