Software :: OS Image Installs With Future Date Timestamp
Jun 23, 2011
I am trying to install Suse linux 10.3 image on to an HP blade via HP CMU. The node gets imaged successfully, but the certain files/directories have a future date timestamped to it. While the server date is correct.

I'm looking for a method for modifying some jpg photo files last modification date with the corresponding timestamp creation date of each file.The reason is that shotwell import pictures in folders according to last modification date which is stupid on my opinion.
I like ordering my images my date modified, but Eye of GNOME only lets you view them by alphabetical order.
Important features for me are: Going through items with the arrow keys. Zooming in and out with the mouse wheel. Being able to sort by modification date, type, or name. Being able to right click and open with either another window of the same viewer, or with another viewer. Having a simple interface
So far, I've tried:
Eye of GNOME - I love how simple it is, and if it wasn't for this sorting problem I'd keep using it. Well, that and the fact that you can't right click and open an image in a separate Eye of GNOME window while continuing to scroll images in the current window.
gThumb - Damn. So close to being a winner. Can't pass images with the arrow keys or zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, but I can sort by modification date, it's simple, and can open another window of the same viewer. But those first two points are also important for me.
Fspot - A little too cluttered when opening a single image. I don't really need to see a top panel with the other images, even if it's nice. I can go through images with the arrow keys, and zoom in and out, but no sorting by modification date.
Shotwell - Shotwell's viewer is pretty fast and simple, however it has lots of flaws for me: can't sort by modification date, can't zoom in and out with mouse wheel, can't open an image in another window while viewing it. At least it's simple and I can navigate with the arrow keys.
I've tried what feels like at least a dozen different image viewers and I'm still hunting for one that handles viewing by date taken. The trick is that I'd like to just click the jpeg as they come off the camera and then browse through all the photos in the order taken... without having to load them into a photo management application, sort them in their, then start viewing from there. Too many extra steps for too many pictures when you're looking at a collection that is already organized (using the file system, i.e., nested directories) back to 2000. I need (ideally) a viewer where I click the jpeg, then go next next next through them in the order in which they were taken. Does anyone know if this sort of thing exists?
I am actually modifying someone else's script and I need some help. The original script rotated image files to the left but it changed the "modified date stamp" which is something I didn't want.

Code: #!/bin/bash while [[ -n "$1" ]]; do #if a file and not a dir if [[ -f "$1" ]]; then
#the images that I copy from my cell phone don't have exif headers #so I am using the -mkexif switch first to match the exif information #to the "created date" in the .jpg file. jhead -mkexif "$1"
[Code]...
It's important to note that the original script, before I made any edits, did not have this quirk whereas I needed to "touch" the file to get it to orient itself correctly. The 'original' script is in black; my additions are in blue.

As a photographer I'm constantly taking photos and storing them in folders. Now occasionally I'm using two cameras (either for different settings or an assistant is also taking photos) which means that for one event I can have differently named images.Both cameras have the same time set (which always helps in Windows) but in Ubuntu when trying to sort my folder by date taken I can't.The options I'm given are to sort them: Manually, by Name, by Size, by Type, by Modification date and by Emblem.Now none of those are helpful to me once I've done a few edits to the images.So please if anyone knows, how do you organise a folder with images taken on different cameras by Date Taken rather than Date Edited?
I am using CRON to create a new, blank file, every minute, in a specific location on my web server. After web searching, and reading man pages, I get the impression that the following command is supposed to work:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +%H%M`.txtThis should give me a new file with a file name that is the current hour and minute.However, when executed, the CRON mailer reports:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of fileSo, it looks like shell is seeing the plus (+) sign as an EOFObviously, nothing get created.What would be the easiest, single line command to create an empty file, at a given location, with a time based file name
I'm using Linux Mint 8 64bit with Google Chrome Unstable (same problem with beta).When a video is playing, the time elapsed and total time stay on the screen:Is there a way to make this disappear
Is there a way to log specific type of network connection with timestamp? I mean, if someone sends a mail through mail server, is there a way the server logs that connection with timestamp?
I have a directory containing files and symlinks to files elswhere. I make a copy of the directory like this: cp -rp dir/* new_dir
The files in new_dir have their original timestamps, but the symlinks have the current time. touch -t does not operate on the symblink but on the files they reference. Is there a way to set the timestamp of the symlink to a time in the past?
I want to access the timestamp field of the packet being sent or received. I am not getting clear idea as to which ioctl I should use, and how it should be used in the program. Anyone explain rough flow of the program for accessing the timestamp.
I recently hired a new tech guy to start managing our servers. In doing this I went ahead and upgraded all the servers. It has been awhile now since I sent him the details of the new server and the last time I talked to him he was joking around with one of the other clients not realizing how long it took.
I know on other server moves, my old guy could have everything setup and running in a couple days as a good amount of time is waiting for the data to copy over. I am starting to wonder if this guy is going to try and throw a huge bill at me, so I would like to know what hes doing on the server with time stamps just so I can get a idea of how much time he has been logged into the server. Does this server OS have anything like this built in?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the timestamps of folders recursively based on the latest timestamp found of the files in that folder.
So for example:
Code: jon@UbuntuPanther:/media/media/MP3s/Foo Fighters/(1997-05-20) The Colour and The Shape$ ls -alF total 55220 drwxr-xr-x 2 jon jon 4096 2010-08-30 12:34 ./
I am looking for a way to print the timestamp of a directory using find command. I can do that for a file, but for a directory, it is printing the contents of the directory as well. Lets say there is a directory called doc, and there are more than one occurrences of that directory.
find . -name "doc" -type d -exec ls -l {} ;
This is printing the contents of all the files under doc directory as well.
I've implemented a python script in conky that shows my stock portfolio.But, in the output of last updated timestamp, I get a time several hours in the past. The url for fetching stock data is: [URL]This is a norwegian stock, and I also live in norway. So the timestamp is not translated to the stock market of where it came. I can't find any 'localizing' stuff in the url either.Now my question is this: The script puts the time into a variable, the varable now contains ex 11:23 Is there any way I can add 6 hours or so to this variable
I got a directory with files in it like: 2006-07-01.foo2007-08-04.foo I need to update the timestamps on these files using "touch -t 200607010000 2006-07-01.foo" on each file in the directory so I came up with the following one liner:
for i in `ls -1`; do touch -t `ls -1 | sed -n 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'` $i; done
My goal was to use sed and get the timestamp for touch and then loop through each file and touch with the timestamp.However the script, not giving me the results I intended. Can anyone chime in on what I am doing wrong?I have been banging away at this for a couple of hours now and am clueless on what it could be. I also tried another variant such as:
for z in $(ls -1 *.foo); do echo $z $(for i in `ls -1 *.foo | sed 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'`; do echo "$i"; done); done
Anybody worried about KDE future. KDE use the Qt toolkit and Nokia the owner of Qt is going all Windows on there phones. Does anybody know what may happen. Just wondering.
After the Nokia-Microsoft deal, the future of Qt doesn't look very bright. Many developers think that Nokia has no interest in Qt for the desktop. [URL] And since KDE is based on Qt, and KDE is the (sort of) default desktop environment for Slackware.
Setup: 10.04 server with "bash" as /bin/sh When I run "ls -l" in a shell I get the following format:
Code: -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 2010-06-13 06:53 /var/log/user.log Whereas if "ls -l" executes from a cron job the format is:
Code: -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 Jun 13 06:53 /var/log/user.log Notice the different time format. Now I could fix this by changing the cron job to
Code: ls -l --time-style=+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M ... but I'm interested in knowing why this behavior occurs. What's different between the cron job and the shell?
I am using makefile to complile all C Programming files. But certain files are not getting compiled and hence its object file is not getting generated. This is happening due to files haven't been modified for a long time. It seems that compiler knows that its object file is there hence no need to complie it actually it is not.
I have a F14 laptop being used as a music server. For some reason the clock time runs fast and slowly drifts forward about 5 minutes/day.
ntpd is running. The ntpd.conf is pretty much F14 out of the box and the same as my other F14 instances that do not exhibit this problem. If I restart ntpd, it syncs up the time, but then the time slips until the ntpd seems to give up.
Initially ntpd reports it is synched,but then over time it reports being unsynchronized.
Shortly after restart:
Code: ntpdc> sysinfo system peer: w1-wdc.ipv4.got-root.me.uk system peer mode: client leap indicator: 11 stratum: 4
