OpenSUSE :: Cannot Remove Empty File?
Mar 2, 2011
I was copying an .avi file to an external hard drive and half way through the copy the drive reset and required remounting. Consequently I have an empty .avi file on the hard drive. I tried to recopy the file and overwrite, but I keep getting 'Could not write to media/harddrive/filename.avi'. I tried to rename to file to be copied but got the same response, I cannot delete the empty file either, as I get an error telling I cannot delete it. I have tried to do this as the user and root with the same result.Any other file I tried to copy onto the external hard drive is fine, just this one zero length file and the file I was trying to copy, the original of the file. I also tried to delete the file on another computer but couldn'tExternal hard drive is a WD elements ntfs, which works great except for this glitch.

I've noticed that when I run:
davek@linux-kw2x:~> df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 20641788 8427780 11165368 44% /
udev 961204 192 961012 1% /dev
/dev/sda3 217642344 4037944 202548468 2% /home
davek@linux-kw2x:~>
I have 44% used. It should be much smaller, under 10%. How do I empty the /tmp file or other file to free up space?

I transferred some pictures from an SD card then 'shift+delete'ed them from the card. But I forgot to 'unmount' the card before I removed it from its slot. Now when I insert the card, it shows that there are a bunch of JPG images on the card but they cannot be viewed or deleted. Here is the output when I try to delete them:
Code:
:/media/NIKON D3000/DCIM/100D3000$ rm DSC_0328.JPG
rm: cannot remove `DSC_0328.JPG': Read-only file system

1. An external hard disk with VFAT32 file system has a continuous 23GB file (old HD disk image). It is too large to 'remove to wastebasket' and unlike MS Windows remove to wastebasket does not sense file size and wipe file index .

Is it possible to remove multiple packages listed in a text file? Similar to "cat orphan.txt | zypper rm" or "zypper rm <orphan.txt." Neither worked.

I have a large file that a process writes to. I would like to empty that file. If I delete it the process will stop writing to it. Just flush the content but keep the file.

I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files. I created a comps.xml file outlining the category and groups for the local repository. However, when I issue the yum grouplist command, I get the following error:
Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is empty/damaged
However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository, it works just fine.
Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:
The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .

I having been searching for a way to create an empty or blank iso file, so that I can mount it, and have a backup application think it's a blank CD. I am tired of wasting CD's by having the application write a recovery CD, just for me to turn around and export it to an iso image to be stored in a online archive, and then throw away the physical CD.

Using awk I pull the first field of a random line from my datafile.myvar1=`awk -F" " 'NR=='$randline' {printf "%s", $1}' myfileThis works fine. The problem is there will be empty lines at the end of the file. Rather than using awkto filter out blank lines I would like to figure this out first.So I test $myvar1 for a blank string after setting $randline to one that I know is blank:test -z "$myvar1" && echo "true" || echo "false"But, this returns "false"? So the string is not zero length. Why? It's a tab-separated file. Is awk storing the tab with the $1 field or something.This is where I get headache. I try to echo my variable to see what it looks like.
echo "$myvar1"
outputs: nothing
echo "My variable is [$myvar1]"
outputs: [y variable is [
Why is the closing bracket at the beginning? What character could be stored in $myvar1 that would do such a thing and how did it get there?

I just installed FC10 and then used yumex to install the vsftpd FTP daemon package. I'm using the vsftpd.conf file that came with the distribution, and its almost identical to one I copied from my FC2 machine's working set-up. When I try to FTP in as a known system user I'm presented with my home directory /home/myusername/. The directory appears empty to the FTP program, but isn't in reality. I can't upload a file to the empty home directory. I can move up the directory hierarchy to /home/, but again that appears as an empty directory.
I don't think it's a vsftpd.conf file issue. I've tried everything I can there. Could it have something to do with permissions? I fiddled with those, but couldn't make an FTP directory listing work.

after update f12 to f13 geany stopped to work correctly on remote storage (sftp). Geany opens file correctly, but when I try to save, it saves empty file. I tried "notepad" and "gedit", they work good on f13. Geany on f12 worked correctly too.

Greetings, I have installed a VMware host on Windows 7 64bit and followed with a 10.04LTS 64 bit guest install. Everything went smooth. I have used VMware before, but the other way around.. Linux host and Windows guest.
So this time I am installing the VMWare tools on the guest, ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to be failing. The vmware tools install ran fine the first time with no errors, but I was getting the follwoing error after logging into the Ubuntu guest afterwards.
Could Not Apply the Start Configuration for Monitors
Error Line 1: Char 1 Whitespace or empty file
So I re installed the VMware tools once again, but still the same.
I am hoping that someone here has come across this before and hs a workaround. I don't think the vmware tools was installed correctly.

I'm installing Wordpress and I want Hosting Multiple Sites with them. For that I need modify the httpd.conf file but it's empty. Where I can make that changes? These are the changes:
1. Type: LoadModule rewrite_module /libexec/mod_rewrite.so
2. Find the <VirtualHost> section in the httpd.conf file.
3. Find a line in the <VirtualHost> section of the httpd.conf that looks like this: AllowOverride None
3. Replace that line with this line: AllowOverride FileInfo Options
4. On a new line, type ServerAlias *.[URL].
5. Save the httpd.conf file and close it.

Whenever i try to empty the Trash (As Root) it does so then gives me an error message saying that it can't delete a specific file. It's always the same file and it says:"The file or folder /home/.Trash-0/files/yesterday once more.mp3 does not exist."Having looked in this location logged in as root using both Dolphin and at the command line, this file doesn't exist.
