View 2 RepliesAfter having downloaded unrar, I find I can't actually use it to extract rar files. Whenever I use the command unrar e filename.rar, (obviously using the correct filename), I just get told there's no such file or directory.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using XFCE spin Fedora, so my default archiver is Xarchiver. I have downloaded a 2 part .RAR file, and when I used to use them in Windows, I would tell WinRAR to extract the first part, and then it would automatically start extracting part 2 if it was in the same directory. When I try to do the same in Xarchiver it tells me "An error occurred! Please check the 'Store archiver output' option to see it." I don't know what 'store archiver output' is or how to access it. What do I need to do to extract both components and successfully join them?

Is there away to extract all files that are existing in dirs and subdir with "for loop" or is there a script that can do the job automatically.

This is timeonsuming because the backups are sometimes hundreds of gigabytes.

Does anyone know what do I have to do?
View 5 Replies View Relatedis that my ar928x atheros wireless connection is severely slow. To fix it I've heard ndiswrap and so I've downloaded the XP driver from HP's support site (a pavilion dv7-1450us Notebook PC) and met a brick wall. The file is sp45222.exe and it contains seemingly no .bin .inf or .sys files that ndiswrap dearly requires. I've tried extracting it on a windows machine with UniExtract. This gives only three files one of which UniExtract can extract into a compilation of folders none of which have the required files. I've also attempted to use cabextract on my Ubuntubox, but not cabs come out. I have unshield, if that's relevant at all. What on Earth am I doing wrong?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop a method of reading files generated by other programs. I am trying to find the most versatile approach. I have been trying bash, and have been making good progress with sed, however I was wondering if there was a "standard" approach to this sort of thing. The main features I would like to implement concern reading finding strings based on various forms of context and storing them to variables and/or arrays. Here are the most general tasks:
a) Read the first word(or floating point) that comes after a given string (solved in another thread)
b) Read the nth line after a given string
c) Read all text between two given strings
d) Save the output of task a), task b) or task c) (above) into an array if the "given string(s)" is/are not unique.
e)Read text between two non-unique strings i.e. text between the nth occurrence of string1 and the mth occurrence of string2
As far as I can tell, those five scripts should be able to parse just about any text pattern. I am by no means fluent in these languages. But I could use a starting point. My main concern is speed. I intend to use these scripts in a program that reads and writes hundreds of input and output files--each with a different value of some parameter(s).
The files will most likely be no more than a few dozen lines, but I can think of some applications that could generate a few hundred lines. I have the input file generator down pretty well. Parsing the output is quite a bit trickier. And, of course, the option for parallelization will be very desirable for many practical applications.
new to ubuntu and linux, and using Lucid 10.04 LTS ok, i'm trying to get XBMC going, and following a nice step by step instruction on wiki.xbmc.org, but now i'm stuck at this step... In Ubuntu the SVN Repositories are not automatically added. You must add them manually. First, download the SVN Repo Installer from: [URL] Extract it to the ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs directory. If this directory does not exist, run XBMC one time and then exit back to Ubuntu. The directory should now exist.
i ran xbmc once (after the video driver problem was solved, though it messed up my dual monitors, gotta figure that one out yet.) i got the zip file, it's in my downloads. now my newbness really shows... i can't find an 'extract' command for gnome, can't find the .xbmc directory using the file browser, can't figure out how to hunt for folders instead of files, and don't know how to look inside folders i don't have permission to, that is, i don't know if there's a 'sudo' like option for the file browser. i've been searching the forums, but without the correct search terms, i'm wading in an ocean. i really want to give ubuntu an honest try, but i feel like a foreigner. EDIT: btw, up to this point, the forums have been invaluable, you all are great.
I've built a custom livecd. On my cd files like /lib*/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper are owned by bin not root and the rws is rwx on the owner permission.

With F11 installed Apache is having permissions issues reading files out of the html directory. Only wants to work with permissions set to read for other. [Thu Jun 11 23:25:28 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /var/www/html/index.html Tracked down the permissions issue. Is there a good reason not to change the group to apache and remove world read?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a partition that I mount as /data on all of my distros of my multi-boot machine. I am having a bear of a time figuring the right way to address permissions/groups so that any distro can use it (or any removable drive).I tried (in linuxmint) making a group '/data' and assigning the users on my machine to that group, then changing the permissions/groups of the files and folders in that mount as belonging to the /data group, then booted to fedora 15, made the /data group, added the users to that group, I'm not sure that this way will work (it doesn't seem to) or if it's the best way to proceed. some of the things I don't get are:what is the '1000' user and group?is the user/group info on (in or somehow attached) the mount itself?does this seem like a good way to do this?is there on way to 'apply permissions to enclosed files' recursively through the nautilus context menu?

I have limited experience in terminal, but let me first explain what I am trying to do to see if there is some easier way to do it. Basically I want to change the skin in aMSN. I downloaded the new skin but am unable to unzip or move it without /root permissions. I don't know how to acquire this without being in terminal. So I figured there had to be some way to go into the terminal and use it to move the unzipped folder from the desktop to the aMSN skins folder.
