Software :: How To Quickly Mark Files
Jul 10, 2010
Using a GUI file browser, I would like to be able to mark files with an emblem or something similar as quickly as possible, with a single click. I'm currently using Gnome Nautilus in my Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't seem to offer the functionality. I'm not keen on trying the extension Nautilus-Actions as it doesn't seem to be open source. I've set up some scripts though, but accessing them through the pop-up submenu is just clunky enough to still have me searching for a faster solution. Does a file browser exist that would let me set up a toolbar button for marking files? Or a button for launching scripts, which would amount to the same thing.

I'll like to mark all packet coming from and going to an ip adresse. And I'd like to match that mark packet in an other rule. Ex :
Rule 1 : Mark all packet coming from 192.168.2.0/25 with number 1
Rule 2 : Drop all packets which has been mark with number 1

I need to view 10.858 text files by this friday to see which ones I need (searching file contents is not a solution), I was wondering if anyone knew any way/program to quickly view them as if they were, for example, images? And, optionally, to be able to save them to a different location from there? It doesn't necessarily have to be for Ubuntu as I also have WinXP and Vista, but it would save me having to transfer those couple of gigabytes to another computer.

Here I am editing /etc/samba/smb.conf and trying to remember what I should chmod the directory and the files to, then I think to myself there's probably an easier way. That way should be clear to the user.
There's dropbox and Ubuntu one but these are something slightly different, these sorts of things involving a cloud service or something needing to download to Windows clients, which is not what we want if we don't have an internet connection. So, is there a better way? Something to aide making smb.conf and permissions perhaps?

In Xubuntu, I can't seem to mark files as executable. I go into the properties, but there is no option to do this. Is there a way to mark .exe and .jar files as executable in XFCE?

Is it possible to remove the "ubuntuone-synchronized" emblem from files and folders that are being synchronized with Ubuntu One? Seeing the check mark on all my files and folders is just really annoying and distracts from the thumbnail preview that nautilus provides.I've tried going into folder properties -> emblems and de-selecting the emblem but it won't let me.

We have quite a few SEO clients who require multiple IPs which are all from different class c allocations. (10 - 50 IPs) used for projects lasting weeks to months at a time. Since we don't have connected IPs in ranges we can't use the range scripts but I don't know of a way to easily add a long list of individual IPs. These are CentOS servers, by the way

I'm trying to sync the clock of an ubuntu desktop with the network with ntpdate -u <ntp-server> and in a matter or minutes it's growing an offset of a few hundred milliseconds and even more than one second. Is there anyway to guarantee that the time keeps synchronizing with the network more frequently? does it make sense that the offset grows so fast? Am I doing something wrong?

when i play a song in banshee, or a videos video, i get no sound at all. however, in banshee 1 3 minute song will appear to play in about 20 seconds (the progress bar speeds along), and videos videos play back in ultra-fast motion with no sound. weirdly, when i go to system settings -> multimedia, and click test on the default sound device, the kde login sound plays back fine. this worked when i first installed; does anyone know what's going on here? i think it may be a problem with gstreamer?

I'm running badblocks on some new disk drives just to be safe before my return period expires. I'm running the command
Code: sudo badblocks -b 4096 -p 4 -c 65536 -w -s /dev/sdb1 on an empty partition taking up the entire device. I am getting the following output:
[Code]...
1) When it gets to the "reading and comparing" phase, it seems to complete in <1s. I see other posts where people say this takes them as long as it took to write to the drive. I don't see any mention of this being quick, so I'm just afraid that badblocks is being denied read access or something.. Anyone familiar with this behaviour?
2) Obviously since it is on a sixth pass, badblocks thought that it found new bad blocks on the second pass (or later). When I check SMART, though, the drive has not re-allocated anything (despite having plenty of spares)... Doesn't this seem odd? Is there some reason why the disk would not step in upon a write fail? In fact, I thought a write fail should be transparent... Which makes me wonder if question 1 (above) is causing this...

Ubuntu 10.04 - when I logout I get screenful (at least) of messages all with the same format. They disappear too quickly to see what they're about. I've looked at the logs but can't see anything like what I see on the screen. Is there any way I can find them?

I bought a new Hp Pavillion DV6T. For the most part, everything worked right out of the box with ubuntu, but the computer seems to be heating up really quickly for no reason whatsoever even if I'm not doing anything intensive. Why this is happening. The fan always seems to be running at full blast. I logged onto windows for a minute to see if there was any difference in heating between the two OSs and windows seems to run much cooler and much more quiet. On a side note I'm thinking of returning the HP and buying a dell XPS 15. I hear they are more compatible with ubuntu and are better built.

So I am prompted in desktop for updates, but no information is given about the size of the packages involved. Sometimes, I don't like to wait too much for the dowload or to update packages which are too large.
Any settings dealing with that, so the individual size and the total per groups (security updates, etc) would be show without going in yum?

After dual booting into Windows to play Mass Effect 2, I hit the windows key by mistake, and the screen quickly turned black! Since then, I couldn't boot into Fedora, nor Windows; not even Fedora's linux rescue. I see the GRUB, I hit enter on any one of the two options, and all I see is a black screen!

I keep losing my Internet Connection(DSL) very quickly. Usually after a couple of minutes, it's absolutely unpredictable. And then, it gets difficult to reconnect. And if I succeed in reconnecting, I again lose the connection quite quickly.
Here are some logs from the ifcfg-dsl0.log code...

Working with a scientific code that uses more RAM+swap then i generally have (system has 12GB RAM + 24GB swap, but this thing is crazy)It's kind of a one use problem, so I'm not looking to get more RAM, is there a quick way to add more swap space (not on the swap partition, because i have that set at 24GB) so that my system can use it immediately?I don't want to drive up to the office tonight to get this fixed, so a command line setup would work best.

I'm looking for a way to quickly remove all data/partitions/boot records from my hard drives while running linux (distribution is irelevant). There are lots of ways to do this that I know of, but they all have some problems. Here's a list of what I've tried/thought of already. The most obvious is fdisk: Simply delete all the partitions. This usually works just fine and is very quick, but there are times it just doesn't....I'm realy not sure what gets left behind...I remove the MBR as well..but whatever it is, it's in the way. A couple other options are:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
shred -vfz -n 1 /dev/sdb
Both of these approaches are great if you're selling the components and want to make it very difficult for anyone to recover data. The draw-back is they take so very long to run. I've got four 1.5 TB drives that I've been writing zeros to for 2 days now. If you thought watching grass grow or paint drying was boring. A hundred years ago or so, when I was doing tech support for Windows 95 users we used this nifty dos-based debug script to wipe the hard drive. It was sort-of a last resort thing, but it worked beautifully, most of the time. If the customer had already formated, fdisked, fdisk /mbr, reinstalled Windows, but still couldn't get the thing to work, this would clean the drive so you could do a fresh install.
Just in case someone wants this, I'll post it. To use: first boot to some type of DOS environment in which you have the program "debug".
debug
-F 200 L1000 0
-A CS:100
xxxx:0100 MOV AX,301
xxxx:0103 MOV BX,200
xxxx:0106 MOV CX,1
xxxx:0109 MOV DX,80
NOTE: Type 80 for the primary hard drive - HD 0,
or type 81 for the secondary hard drive - HD 1.
In most cases, the primary hard drive is required 80.
xxxx:010C INT 13
xxxx:010E INT 20
xxxx:0110 (Leave this line blank. Press the <Enter> key to continue.)
-G
The message Program terminated normally appears. How to do something like that while running linux?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I wish I could use Nautilus to change file dates, but I guess that does not work.
Is there another file manager, or something, that allows me to do this? I know about the touch command, but that's a little cumbersome for I am trying to do.

My company needs to send sensitive data across to another company, 800gb of .dpx. The way I have thought of is:
E-Sata/1TB WD black.
True-encrypted/ hw accelerated aes (3x machines being built with 2600k)
Sha1sum on each file.
The main goal is to make sure that
1. The files that were transferred off the server onto the drive, are exactly the same.
2. Secure.
3. Fast.

I have setup debian lenny as router - kernel 2.6.26, iptables 1.4.4 and compiled xtables-addons 1.17 There are these rules in:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --restore-mark
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark ! --mark 0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m ipp2p --bit -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j CONNMARK --save-mark
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j ACCEPT
Unfortunatelly if I try dowload something via router by ktorrent, then there are minimum of packets with id 1 (I find that at the last rule). There are only a few 100B packet with id 1 eventhought I downloaded a few MB with k torrent
