I deleted a bunch of things with root (old home folders) but now I can't empty the trash....where is the directory that the root trash goes to? I'll do a terminal delete from there but I can't seem to find it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I transfered a few folders with videos in them to the public folder on an Ubuntu 10.04 laptop I have from my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit laptop. When I wanted to delete the folder I didn't have permission so I ran "gksudo nautilus" so I could delete it as root. So I deleted the folder but I did not get the space back!
I went to /.local/Shared/Trash and one of the folders I deleted was there but deleting it didn't get that space back either.
I did some searching but most of what I find doesn't help or tells me to look in the folder /.local/Shared/Trash folder but that didn't help any.
I work in a compagny and i encounter a problem with the samba trash.When i delete a file from our network directory, the file don't move to the samba trash directory. But, the server create the same samba tree like the orginal file. It's more simple with a example.This is the file i delete to my samba tree S:departementgestion_informatiqueinformatiquecommut est.txt.This is the samba tree that the server create at the moment when i delete my file : @IPcorbeilledepartementgestion_informatiqueinformatiquecommun
The problem is here : We want the file test.txt into this trash tree and it isn't.This is the Samba trash configuration :
# Samba Trash

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using fedora 12. I got "no space in root directory" warning from the system. When I went through it, I found many of the space has been occupied by /var/log/httpd/error-log file. So I just deleted the file but when I check the space with "df -h" command. It shows 0% availability. The same problem occurred before but it solved when I restarted the system. But how to regain the space without restarting the system?
View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday I installed Fedora 14 on my computer. I was able to log in as root on a terminal fine until this morning. Now when I log in I get this:
Code:
[Silverback@Vanessa ~]$ su -
Password:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /root: No such file or directory
-bash-4.1#
I haven't deleted any files, so I have no idea how to fix this.
I just wanted to post this in case it helps anyone else. I have all my personal files (photos, documents, etc.) saved on a separate ext3 partition (so I don't have to worry about them on new installs, etc.). When I tried to delete files, however, I always received the message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?".
After much searching and failed fix attempts (mostly unnecessary messing with fstab), I found this post, which is now archived (or I would have replied there):ttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=759544. And frediE's solution, with a couple tiny modifications, finally solved the problem! (So huge thanks to frediE! ). irst, I found my user id, which is 1000, by going to the System > Administration > Users and Groups menu, selecting my user name (e.g. jnewm), clicking "Properties", andselecting "Advanced".
Second, I created a folder on the root of my partition called ".Trash-1000". (I may have needed to use "gksu nautilus" from a terminal to create the folder, I don't recall.)Third and last, I navigated to the root of the partition in my terminal and ran: sudo chown -R jnewm:jnewm .Trash-1000. Followed by: sudo chmod -R jnewm .Trash-1000 (I doubt this second step was necessary, but I'm listing it just in case). (confirmed unnecessary)
I am trying to get apache to start at boot in Fedora 10 but I am getting "Document root must be a directory", I tried to change the Selinux settings with:
chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /www
I checked the new settings with ls -aZ and the changes apear to be fine.
apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
But I still get the same message on my boot.log file.
I did a fresh fedora install and have overwritten the root user directory ( /root) with a backup of a previous install. Now I cannot log on through the login screen with the root user password. I can login su - as root on the command line with the password OK.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI no longer have access to my root desktop. On a session I attempted to change the root username but i apparently assigned it a wrong directory that does not exist. When I rebooted with my new root username, i was instead recognised as a simple user (no root privileges). I tried the console to change to "old" root but root password is not accepted and there is no way to access to sudoer files. it seems that inserting a new username requires root privileges and i am back to square one. Simply logging with old root username and password after restart gives me a blank screen with nothing on it and cannot even reboot.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a machine which has only /opt with some decent amount of space where I can install a software. /opt belongs to root:root. The software I want to install cannot be installed as root user.
So lets say I create a directory called /opt/install1 and then chown -R install1 to belong to user1. And now I install the software under /opt/install1 with user as user1.
Is this a best practice violation? There could potentially be just /opt/install1 belong to user1 and in future everything else created under /opt belonging to root..
I messed up the first installation of Fedora on my server. My setup is as follows: Fedora and Gnome - NFS system, No dual boot (Windows or anything) Fedora ISO DVD downloaded No kickstart or other tools. how to set this up, from the time I insert the disk and have it boot up (configged already to boot from it). I know how to wipe it clean at intall time. Is that the root directory? And, is /boot the actual boot directory? I'm just having a hard time uderstanding that. As I said, I just want a quick itemized list, step 1, step 2, etc, from partitioning, creating file system, mounting, etc. in the right order.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan Trash be configured differently than default ?
I use 4 different partitions (dual boot FC13 and XP) and when deleting a file on an ntfs, it leaves a .Trash-500 directory. I would like to immediately delete stuff on ntfs (bypassing trash), AND leave the linux partitions defaulted to go into Trash.
Having .Trash-500 directory on the ntfs causes problems with windows that I have to resolve each time I forget and move files and directories between the systems.
