Software :: Perfoming A ./configure Script Outside The Original Directory Tree
Jan 18, 2011
I have a user account (no root access) on a Debian system. My disk quota for my home directory is limited to 250MB, of which I've used 150MB.
I would like to install a program that requires 95MB of space (let's call it prog-5.1) into $HOME/local/bin. Because the source files take up 1GB, I've had to place them in the /tmp directory (to stay under my limit).
Unfortunately when I run the config script, I receive the following:
Code:
The reason for this is that /tmp is mounted in noexec mode, meaning I can't execute code in /tmp directory:
Code:
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about running the config script in my home directory, and somehow pointing it to configure the files in the /tmp/prog-5.1/ directory.

I'd like to mount the directory /var/www/mysite to the directory /home/daniel/mysite, but also have the user of the mounted files mapped from the original user (www-data) to my own user (daniel). So that the file /var/www/mysite/index.php who's user is www-data will appear in the mounted directory as /home/daniel/mysite/index.php and be owned by daniel - and alternatively, if I create a file /home/daniel/mysite/test.php with my own user, it will be created in the original directory under the user www-data Is it possible? If not, what alternatives do I have so I can use an IDE and still make sure all the files belong to the HTTP server's user?

I have a home storage of many drives which are seldom accessed, and extremely seldom written to. So, I made several RAID1 arrays with "write-mostly" drives in each one, so that all the drives spin down after a while, and if they are accessed, only one drive in each array has to spin up. This way, I hope to minimize the risk of losing anything due to mechanical shock or wear.
But it was not so easy. First, the write-mostly drives did spin up on every read request due to a bug in the kernel, so I managed to get the fix accepted into the newer kernels (which is my largest contribution to the Linux development so far. See [URL] .....) Now, if I read directly from the array, it works as expected (only the first drive spins up); but if I create a filesystem there (ext4) and read from it, the second drive still spins up anyway. (Does ext4 write something when it reads a file?.. I have it mounted with relatime, so AFAIK it shouldn't...)
Well, I thought, I'll just mount the filesystems read-only and remount them if I need to modify the data there, which is not very often, to say the least. Also, this way the drives don't have to spin up every system shutdown to unmount the filesystems; during a power outage, it used to take a lot of time for them to spin up one by one just to unmount, while my UPS had to survive long enough for them to finish. That's one more problem solved.
But I decided to improve even further. Sometimes I just want to see the contents of those arrays without even accessing some files (for example, when I accidentally click the wrong network drive button in Windows, or when I just want to see if I have something there or not). If I read the directory trees during startup and keep them cached, then those drives won't even have to spin up at those moments! The question is, is there a way to do it? I remember Linus boasting about our kernel being the best at caching the filesystem trees, and I know there is vmtouch [URL] .... which allows us to keep some files cached, but what about the directory tree itself?.. If I simply "find" all the files there, it seems to work, but they get evicted from cache sooner or later...

I've got a directory structure full of files. I want to convert them all into some other format, but I don't know how to keep the directory structure, is there a way so I can "set" which command to use on files instead of `cp`?

Are there any other archiving tools than tar that preserve Linux file permissions and user/group flags? I want to create archives of a directory tree on my ubuntu box. The directory trees are large, a first run with tar cvpzf archive.tgz /home/foo/bar yielded a 5GB archive. I also want to keep all permissions and other flags and special files.I'm fine with a 5GB archive, however to look inside that archive -- since it is a compressed tar archive -- the whole 5GB have to be decompressed first! (Or so it appears when opening it with the archive viewer -- I'm happy to be corrected.)So I need a way to "backup" a directory (tree) while preserving full filesystem attributes and right and creating an archive with an "index" that hasn't to be decompressed for browsing its contents. An archive is either a single file, or a (small) set of files that carries full and complete information within this file/s. That is, it can live on any filesystem (size permitting), it can be burnt onto a DVD, you can split it (after which the point of this question is really lost - but still), ...

I have a WD world book edition 1TB NAS drive, and just purchased an acomdata 1tb drive and connected it to the NAS via USB. If I recall I think the WD NAS has a ext_ or some type of linux filesystem on it, and the acomdata has a ntfs filesystem on it.
What I want to do is copy over certain directory trees of the NAS to the USB attached drive. I usually use MS synctoy to sync folders from my windows pc to the NAS drive, and MS richcopy to make the initial transfer from PC to NAS. For this operation though, since it is taking place entirely on the NAS and its connected drive, I thought that rsync would be the best option, and it is available on my NAS drive.
Last night I entered in rsync -avr /movies/* /usb1-1share1/ to copy the entire "movies" dir to the drive, which shows up as usb1-1share1 on the NAS drive. It copied most of the directory tree ok, but a lot of the folders were empty, so this morning I tried rsync -Carv --ignore-existing /movies/* /usb1-1share1/ to try and get all the files missed, without recopying the 24GB that did make it across. This also managed to copy a few more GB over, but not everything.
I am running the command from an ssh session on the NAS using putty on my PC, in as user "admin" which should have all rights over these folders. There is a bunch of errors in the command window like this: rsync: failed to set times on "/shares/usb1-1share1/movies/classics/fulldvd/First Blood DVD/.VTS_01_2.VOB.RxdjWZ": Operation not permitted (1)
I want to restart another session and get the files it missed, but I want to find out what I am doing wrong first. Should I be doing this as root user? am I missing some switches or just plain doing it all wrong?

I would like to overwrite files in a directory tree, recursively. The ones I would like to overwrite match the filename "x_alpha*.png" and have a size exactly 456 bytes. Is there any way to search for these recursively in a directory tree, and overwrite them with a reference file, for example "e:mydirgood.png"
I am using Windows 7, but I have UnxUtils, so I can use those too. What I am looking for is something like this, generated automatically:
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydiracx_alpha0023.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirefgx_alpha0045.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirhx_alpha0248.png

I have ubuntu 9.10 & windows 7 on my laptop. I have one 40GB Primary partition (C & 60 GB logical partition on my windows. I have given another 20GB for ubuntu.
I hibernated my windows7 & then started ubuntu 9.10. Then I copied a folder containing some PDF files from my ubuntu to that 60GB (D on windows. Then I rebooted the machine & choose windows from GRUB. the windows came up from hibernation but nowhere I was able to see that folder which I copied.
Since ubuntu supports (understands) NTFS file system it means when I copied that folder it should have updated the Directory Tree of NTFS on that 60GB (D but that folder is not shown.
When I restart the windows the folder appears (ofcourse because windows checks the file system again for consistency while in hibernation it does not).

I found it easiest to embed narp into the gtk+-2.0 installation because all I needed to do was tweak the Makefile.am and Makefile.in files and let configure do the rest.This is a hack. I've failed at getting my own makefiles to work.
Would anyone point me in the right direction on how to properly make an installer for Linux? Also, what is the correct/common directory tree for Linux software packages? Any more suggestions on proceeding with this project using community standards?

The problem was finding an applet to browse directory tree directly in the Gnome panel similar to that in "Recent Documents". The thread was closed without any solution posted there and also no solution available elsewhere (I searched for over 2 hours) in the forum.
Search for "file-browser-applet" in the Synaptic Package Manager. The applet with exactly that name is what you need. It allows to browse and open files on your computer from the GNOME panel. Once installed, "Add to panel".

I have a directory listing with many subdirectories having many files. I want to recursively search for the oldest 5 files starting from the base directory and not 5 from each subdirectory. I am writing a shell script which sorts them using ls -lRtur|egrep "txt|jpg" > /tmp/file1 Now from this /tmp/file1 file I want to sort the files same as what the ls -ltr command does that is oldest file time to newest file time first. How do I sort based on Linux time stamp? The files itself also have Linux timestamps embedded in them So I can sort based after extracting them as well if it is easier.
My /tmp/file1 has entries like below.
-rw-rw-r--. 1 usr1 usr1 705 2010-01-22 17:25 sample20100603173659.jpg
I want to get the 5 oldest files and then delete them.

I've got a few large, unsorted folders where I dump mp3s. I manage it all through rhythmbox and I've decided to separate the wheat from the chaff by paring down stuff I don't want and throwing all the desirable stuff into a big (~1,800 file) playlist file saved to my desktop.My question to you is, is there a hack that'll let me cp all the file entries in this playlist from their various original directories and into one target directory? Playlist format is:
Quote:
[playlist]
X-GNOME-Title=Biglist
NumberOfEntries=1823[code].....

I am looking for explanations on how Opensuse utilizes the root directories. Like what decides if a program goes in /bin vs /sbin vs /usr/bin etc...In other words, a breakdown of the directory structure and how each part is utilized. I am trying to get more familiar with it so it will be easier for me to locate things and I will know where to look for X part of a program that does Y.

I'd like to instruct bash to use a special method to perform completion on certain directory names. For example, bash would call a program of mine to perform completion if a path starts with "$$", and perform completion normally otherwise. Is this at all possible? How would you implement it? The goal is to allow autojump to complete paths for all commands when the user starts them with a certain prefix. So for example when copying a file from a far directory, you could type: cp $$patern + <Tab>
and autojump would complete cp /home/user/CompliCatedDireCTOry/long/path/bla/bla and you would just have to add where you want to put the file. Of course I can use ott's comment to add it to a few specific commands

I would like to upload files via ftp or sftp to my web directory at /var/www/...
Originally I had installed openssh-server (through apt-get, before learning about tasksel). I assumed this only had ssh support and not ftp, so after a quick search, I installed vsftpd. I would like to learn how to configure openssh, and I mention vsftpd in case there is a conflict.
Right now I am able to log in to my server box through ssh/ftp, but I can only modify my home directory. I created a directory: /var/www/andrew and set permissions to drwxr-xr-x. I am unable to upload files to this folder.
What do I have to do to resolve this, and is there anything else I should know about my situation?

So here's the question:
How can I configure grep to search recursively through all files in a directory, or if need be starting from root to find the pattern "2880" I've looked in the man page for grep and I can't see how to do it, is grep the right tool to use for this ?
