How can we list only files present in a directory in Redhat linux.The LS commands lists both the files and the directories. What command can be used for the above purpose.
View 1 RepliesWhen I run "ls -al somedir*" (I use the "ll" shortcut, actually), Linux not only list files that match, but also the contents of directories whose name also happens to match.Is there a way to limit "ls" so that it will only show names (files and directories) and ignore the contents of the directories?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have uShare 1.1a setup to talk to my XBox 360. If I share a directory that has no subdirectories, the video files display on the XBox. However, most of my files are in sub-directories on a different partition - I don't really want to copy them to the share, but uShare doesn't seem to recognise any sub-directories or files contained therein.
I have tried setting up symbolic soft links directly to the video files (although this is a pain, it is better than moving the files)...
Code:
ln -s /home/jonftp/TV-Shows/Buffy/Season-1/Buffy-101.avi /home/share/Buffy-101.avi
...but these don't show up on the XBox either.
How can I get uShare to "drill down" the directory structure to list the files or how can I get uShare to follow symbolic links?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a bash script that gets the list of files in a directory and puts them into a variable, then checks each entry and outputs them as follows:
item1 is a FILE
item2 is a DIR
item3 is a DIR
etc etc.
I am able to get the list of files into a variable, but unsure how to get the output I want.
I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop. When I do a "lsusb" I can see the device present but the light is not on and I cannot see the wireless router.
Amazing that I can be at version 11.04 and it still doesn't see a wireless device and install it.
So, my guess is that I have to root around about 5 different places and gather up a bunch of files so I can get this running.
I have a linux account in my college (A server-client setup. We use SSH to login to our account)My account quota is 20 MB and one day I logged into my account from a Fedora machine and my entire account became full, thanks to .xsession-errors, his older brother and their pals. So I went on a killing spree with [rm -r]and (you guessed it!) I deleted someimportant file. I think lognames or something.Now I can't see in which directory I am. Every time I have to do [ll] to check the contents of my directory to understand my location

So I have to reboot and start an Linux LiveCD, mount my home partition and delete this folder. After that I can login normally. Symptoms: I am able to login normally, start a browser, start my mail client, list the contents of subfolders of /home/Razorblade/... - everything fine.

I have 2 text files : file1.txt and file2.txt
cat file1.txt
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
cat file2.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
54 this is sentence3file2
I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :
cat joinedfile.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
54 this is sentence3file2
==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?

I'm working with a GuruPlug...maybe you've heard of them.I'm trying to get EasyCap DC60 drivers installed on it(easycap_dc60.0.9.tar.gz), but in the README file I see that the "header files" must be present.nfortunately they are not. This little wall wart runs Debian/Lenny, probably some server oriented build.uname -r reports:2.6.32-00007-g56678ecIt boots to RunLevel 2 and stays there, incidentally.I tried apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but I am told "file not found" or something similar
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 5100 with Ubuntu 10.04 running. Recently I loaded from a storage drive all of my music library which happens to be in its orignal wav format. I was going to convert it to mp3 using lame or some other program. I worked with the files using the command line with some success. The files were there when I did this. No problem. I came back to the computer after several days absence and when I got to a commandline I entered "ls -l" no files. Yes I went to the right directory. I logged in as Root no help. The files are not there according to the command line as far as I can tell.Using Gnome the files are available and playable via the desktop. Are the files there or not?

Is there a way to limit the number of files that are allowed to be in that directory, and maybe delete the oldest files automatically when the directory reaches it's limit in order to make room for the new incoming files, so there are no "directory full" type of errors?

View 1 Replies View RelatedNot sure what the problem is, but my home directory or /home partition is acting up so that I cannot see the hidden directories in my home directory.
If I type "ls" I get the display of all my files and directories.
If I type "ls -l" I get the display of files and directories.
If I type "ls -a" or "ls -la", the terminal hangs.
Any thoughts? I have tried creating myself a new account and moved all my files over, then changed the ownerships to the new account. However, now the new account is acting the same way.
