General :: Sync "working" Dir With All Computers
Mar 29, 2010
Is it possible to have a folder that is stored on my server mounted via smb etc, that copies over any file that has been updated on my machine? I believe I'll prob have to learn some scripting to accomplish this, but here is what I want to do.
I have three computers, a laptop for school, a desktop at home and a server box sitting around for hosting files (I have access to this from anywhere). I have a folder for all of my school work, we'll call it "school". This folder is present on my laptop and desktop. Sometimes I work on my laptop at school and have new files created / updated. Other times, I work on my desktop and alter files / create new ones there. What I was thinking was using my file server as a repository. After I am finished working on one machine, I want to upload all the new files/folders to the server, so that when I work on the other machine, I can run a quick "fetch files" and being to work off of where I left of. That way, I don't have to copy files over via email or my network. Also, it's very helpful to have the updated files always stored on my server because sometimes I need to grab a file but don't have access to any of my computers.

I've discovered Firefox Sync a while ago, and it's absolutely awesome. Now of course I'd like most of my software to work this way! So is there a way to get the same behavior with Thunderbird?

Two GNU/Linux computers are playing the same video with mplayer (or vlc or whatever).
How to sync the pause/seeking/FFw between them. Like when I press pause on master computer, the other one is also paused on the same frame.
(Expecting both player-specific and universal approaches)

I want to be able to synchronise files between 2 remote computers in both directions. Say for example that I want to synchronize my /home/Documents directory with <username>@example.com:/home/Documents What's the easiest way to update the folders in both directions, so that new/updated files on my home computer get transferred to the remote computer, and new/updated files on the remote computer get transferred to my home computer?

i was wondering if there was a way to sync two computers so that all the data in the /home directory was exactly the same on both, and it was done automatically as soon as theyre both turned on and connected to the same network?
i have a laptop and a desktop that i want to basically mirror each other.
i take my laptop everywhere, so i want to be able to do work on it, take it home, turn on my desktop and as soon as my laptop is connected to the network, it'll automatically sync the files to the desktop.
i want the reverse to also occur - meaning i do some work on the desktop and have it automatically sync up to my laptop while im working on the desktop if the laptop is on at the same time, or as soon as i turn the laptop on.
i had rsync set up before, but i had to initiate it manually, and i was never sure if it was overwriting files or appending.

I have a music archive on several computers, from time to time do I add, remove or change the archive on one computer. To keep this changes will I have to copy the new version of the music archive to all the other computers.
is there a program that can sync the music files. Let say that I update the info in one music file, then will the sync program notice the newer version and replace the old file with the new files on all the other computers.
I guess I would need a dedicated server for this where all changes are stored with some kind of version number of the music archive. Since not having a server would make everything (I guess) much more complicated. All computers would have to communicate with each other to check for a new version instead of only communicate with one computer (the server).

I am interested and looking forward to get a smartphone or a personal data assistant with calendar/ email/ contacts just like the iphone does.My intention is to be able to sync my smartphone's data with my home server that actually carries my PIM applications. Basically, during the day when I am not home I will modify or add/remove data from the phone. When I arrive home I would like to be able to sync my changes to my server. My laptop will be reconfigured to retrieve and sync from that server.
Proudly running with Slackware on ALL my machines (gotta love Slack!), and Apple being **** by not supporting open source and linux environment, it seems that it will be difficult to have something working out of the box and will probably require jail-breaking the device, etc.. I don't want to rely on external services such as Google calendar except for the email from Gmail.

I'm looking for a way to sync directories between two computers, in a "two-way" fashion. Basically, I have a laptop and I have a desktop, and I want to keep a particular directory synced between the two machines. The easiest thing would be to have some kind of networked filesystem, but obviously this won't work because the laptop may or may not be connected to the internet at any moment. At any time I might be editing files on the desktop or on the laptop, and when the laptop is connected to the internet, I'd like all files on both machines to be synced to their most recent versions.
I thought I could do this with rsync but now that I've looked into a bit more it seems like it works only for "one-way" syncing. In other words files are synced from a server to a client or vice versa, but not both at once. First of all, am I right about that? And second, is there a program that will do what I want to do? OK, I guess you could do it with some SVN kind of thing but that seems like overkill. I guess if there's nothing out there it shouldn't be too hard to write a script myself to do it.

File sync doesn't not appear to be working and my logs are filled with this error:
"Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion."
The sync daemon after awhile will take up 1.3gb of memory and will peg one of the processors.
I also get connection errors for the control panel app.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.

I don't know if my drivers are corrupted, set up improperly, or if the driver is just broken.

I use jpilot on opensuse 11.3 64bit to sync pim data with my Palm Treo 680 via bluetooth. This worked fine until today. Now I get the following error message when I try to sync: Syncing on device bt: Press the HotSync button now dlp_ReadSysInfo error Exiting with status YNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT Finished.
The last successfull sync was on the 20th October and today is the 24th October. I did not change any settings in jpilot or on my palm device. So I guess there must have been an update of opensuse which causes this error. But I do not now how to look up the updates during this period or how to undo them. Was there an update between the 20th and the 24th Oktober, which might affect either jpilot or bluetooth functionality?

I've got Ubuntu One syncing a single 25MB folder on 4 computers. On one of these computers, the ubuntuone-syncdaemon process constantly pegs the CPU, using from 50-80% long after any sync-able files have been modified and successfully synced. The process is only using 8.9MB of RAM.
Specs:
Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)
Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic
1000.8 MB RAM
Pentium 4 2.53GHz
Free disk space: 280.9 GB
System monitor shows 56.8% total RAM usage, 15.4% swap file usage.

Audio sync method. "Stretches/squeezes" the audio stream to match the timestamps, the parameter is the maximum samples per second by which the audio is changed. -async 1 is a special case where only the start of the audio stream is corrected without any later correction.Searching the net makes one believe that this command is just some sort of magic.People just put it in the line and it just works. Isn't that nice?
It says nothing about how to change the TIME the audio starts syncing. Like do I want it to start 5 seconds delayed? Or what about 5 seconds sooner?What if the audio gets more out of sync as the video goes on? Can I slip it a little at a time? What? No magic?No one mentions a file that already has badly synced audio.So what -async 1 really does is simply start the audio at the beginning of the file. LIKE AS IF THAT ISN'T STANDARD PROCEDURE?So what is the exact solution to syncing a messed up video? And why can't it just do the proper "timestamp" sync in the first place?No docs, no info and you are left out in the cold.

I have two computers with Ubuntu 10.10 on them, a desktop and a laptop. I have two options for handling them:
Try and keep them the same
Accept that they have different 'personalities' and branch off their on way
However, I've chosen the first option because I like to keep my files and settings the same on both computers. I am in the process of extracting a tar archive I made of my entire desktop's hard drive (9.7GiB) onto my laptop, so after this is done they will be exactly the same. However, upon turning the laptop on with my freshly-copied system, things will become different. If I take the laptop to school, for example, and do stuff there, then come back home, and do stuff on my desktop, how can I sync these computers (both ways!) with the new changes at the end of the day/week/whatever?

I want to transfer files (a music folder) between two Linux computers. After searching for the best way to do this, I've seen that there are lots of ways of doing this. I know this has been asked a lot, everywhere and all the time. The main problem with this is that there is no clear, recent consensus on one best way to do this task in 2011 for Linux beginners (even depending on some parameters).
So in the spirit of the Stack Exchange websites, I want this not to be related to my particular situation, but more of a guide to others as well on how to transfer files between two Linux computers over a local network. I think a wiki would be useful for many.
Here's what I found so far:
ssh
sshfs
scp
sftp
nfs
samba
giver
What is the easiest? Most flexible? Simplest? Best solution? What are the pros and cons of each? Are there other (better) options? What are the parameters in choosing the best method (solution might depend on number of files, filesize, easiness vs. flexibility, )?

I'm looking to install Linux on two of my home computers. Here they are, with a brief description of what they will be used for. Rig #1: main desktop: Dell Dimension, P4 3.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 128MB PCIe Video Card Currently, I have WinXP Pro installed and it is my main workhorse computer.
I would like to have a fairly full featured distro that I can test drive as an alternative to WinXP (which I use mostly for web browsing and mp3s and games... I know I may be out of luck with getting many of my games working on linux, but I can live with that). The only other caveat with this machine is that it has to work using a USB wireless network adapter. The wireless router is nearly inaccessible and too far away to plug into. And there are no wired ports in the house.
Rig #2: old computer: Celeron 850, 512MB Ram, 30GB HD, 64MB AGP Video card My really old computer that has just been sitting around collecting dust. I would like to install a fairly lightweight distro (for obvious reasons) to play around with. Maybe get some experience using linux from an admin perspective, like installing/compiling packages, running servers, etc...
I have already tried to install Linux Mint and Xubuntu on my main desktop. While both installed without any errors, neither of them was able to boot into linux. Presumably because of this bug:
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408
Which seems to be a problem with Grub/Ubuntu. So I'd like to stay away from Ubuntu. So what are some distros that you guys would recommend for these two rigs, given my potential uses/limitations?

i am currently running Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and the 9.10 netbook remix on my HP Mini. I have set up a Samba connection, so I can access the files from my laptop from the netbook, but I am wondering about software to make synchronization of particular folders in my home folder easier, especially since with my setup now, if I access my laptop's home folder from the netbook, I can see all the folders, including the hidden ones!

I have a Windows 7 Desktop and an Ubuntu Laptop connected with a KVM switch. I use the setup for software development, so I am constantly switching between the two, so I need a way to quickly transfer files between the two. I'm not sure if this is possible, but if I could connect them in a way where the OS of each mounts the hard drive of the other. Is there a way I could do this?
