Slackware :: Move Into New Directory To Get Wine Working In New Directory?
Aug 1, 2010
I came from the Debian world so I did not do much building software from source. I successfully built wine from source, now the wine binary is in the same directory where the Makefile and all of the other source stuff is. I can run wine from that directory fine, but I sort of want to move it somewhere else. I tried moving the wine binary somewhere else, but when I try to run it I get
[code]...
What all do I have to move into the new directory to get wine working in the new directory? By convention, where should I move wine, I want it available for all users, should I move it to /opt/wine, or /usr/local/wine, or somewhere else?

Just a simple question
Code:
$ cat -
do in the Bash? I know 'cd -' changes directory to the previous working directory, but 'cat - ' does not seem to do the same thing.

When installing Ubuntu (10.04) I chose the /home to be installed in a separate partition.I would now like to move the /srv directory into the same partition. The problem I found is that Ubuntu did not make a /home directory inside the partition itself. It just places the account directories in the partition and mounts it to /home. So I cannot just easily move the /srv folder into the partition.
How can I:
Move those account directories into a home folder inside the partition Make that new home folder the default /home folder. ditto with the /srv folder, or any I choose in the future.

I have a directory which was downloaded and has a silly name like "-=Directory=-" on my headless (no GUI) linux box and when I try to deal with this directory using "mv" in order to rename it or move it somewhere, it simply does not work. Terminal instead says:
Code:
mv: invalid option -- '='
how I can rename or move it?!

I have directory with sub directories in it. Inside I have bunch of pictures. I would like to find all pictures, and move them to one tmp directory. While moving there might be files with same names. The command I use:
--- find . -name '*JPG' -exec mv -i {} /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/Pictures/2004/tmp ; ---
now the problem comes with overwrite if there are two files with same name. Is there any simple way to copy all files into one directory and not to loose any, appending certain, even random char, to the 2nd file would do.

I have 2 hard disks, one is full and I would like to move my /usr directory from sda1 to sdb1.
I tried the following..
sudo mkdir /driveb
sudo mount /sdb1 /driveb
cd /driveb
sudo mkdir /usr
sudo cp -b --copy-contents -r /usr /driveb/usr
code....
I don't fully understand the difference between a directory and a mount point and I may be treating them wrong.
I would like /usr to point to sdb.
is it possible, or should I try to change my path instead and ignore this problem?

I would like to move the /home directory to a different location, there only seem to be guides on how to move it to it's own partition.
I have a drive (/dev/sda5) mounted as /media/data
I would like to move /home to /media/data/home?
I have tried usermod but get the following error:
Code:
test@TestServer:/media/data$ sudo mkdir /media/data/home
test@TestServer:/media/data$ ls
home lost+found
test@TestServer:/media/data$ sudo usermod -dm /media/data/home
usermod: user '/media/data/home' does not exist

Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried every method I can find and none work. Here's what I know...
1. My /etc/my.cnf is ignored. I can even delete it and phpmyadmin continues to work as it did before.
2. If I move /var/lib/mysql and replace it with a new directory (chowned to mysql:mysql so it looks like it's got the same ownership & permissions as the original) I get a write permission problem, e.g.

What I ultimately want to do is used existing database files on a FAT32 partition but I can't even get to first base.

Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit/ and /storage are on two different partitions. I want to move my home directory to the /storage partition, so I went to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups then Advanced Settings then the Advanced tab. I changed Home Directory from /home/billy to /storage/home/billy. I click on ok and I'm asked if I want to copy all the user's files over to the new location or start fresh. I click, Copy Files. It acts like it's doing something, but all it does is create the home/billy directories inside /storage, but it never copies files over and the next time I go to /home/billy it's still in the old location. What the heck is the deal?

How do you do this without breaking all the links and preferences in /home? Does the system take care of everything? Has anyone done it or is it actually system crippling?

We have two folders: source folder and destination folder. In source folder we have many sub folders and many files of different type!Script that would copy or move defined number of files from source to destination folder. Files must be selected randomly and sub folder in source folders must be selected randomly and we don't copy or move defined number of files just form one sub folder in source folder. In destination folder sub directory structure of source folder should not be preserved. Solution should be robust and as simple as possible.

I would like to know how to move all the files from a single folder and its subfolders to a single, different location in as few steps as possible. For example when I download files from one of my school's websites, the file I want is located in a deep sub-directory. So, I have to cd many times just to get to the file I want. Is there a way to recursively move all the files within a folder's subdirectories into a new location?

I just joined LinuxQuestions and find no Forum specific to command-line syntax questions, so I'll post it here. Here is the question. I can use:
cp -vr --parents /a/b/c/this /x/y
to create a directory /x/y/a/b/c/this containing this and everything under this.
But how could I create a directory x/y/b/c/this (ie omitting a)? I could MOVE to /a/ and then use
cp -vr --parents b/c/this /x/y
but I really don't want to do the MOVE (and can think of circumstances where I might not be able to).
I'm really looking for something exactly similar to the
tar -C DIRECTORY
switch that allows one to make a virtual move to the directory DIRECTORY before commencing the tar operation.

I would like to move a user's home directory to a different disk. Is there a "clean" way to do this? Specifically, is it safe to just copy all the .* files to the new destination and then change the home in the user config? Or are there maybe environment entries with absolute paths which will cause problems with this strategy?

I do have a dual boot system vista and ubuntu but thought it would be nice if I didn't have to switch back and forth for some things. Since I all ready have windows installed with all the required files, directory, and registry is their any way ubuntu could pick those up for running windows programs. Instead of emulating them in wine. In theory I could install my programs under windows and run them under ubuntu if ubuntu recognized my windows partition as c drive instead of OS.

As I regularly move between Mac and PC, I thought it would be a good idea to put all my data on an external drive. As Windows 7 and OS X have similar home folder layouts, I just simply put all the folders I need for both on the root of the external drive and changed a few settings so that the Home folder for my user is on the external drive on both Windows and OS X.
Whilst Ubuntu also has a similar structure, I cannot work out how to have it so that my users home folder is on the external drive. I have done a little research and all I can find is how to have the /home directory on another partition. a) this is not what I'm trying to do, just the folder for my user and b) this would mean formatting the external drive to extX format, which just wouldn't work for me.
I am using 9.10 (or will be once the upgrade is complete)
