View 5 RepliesI downloaded the tar file and extract it in my downloads directory. After that I did the compiling and installing as per ReadMe file. Now, is it safe to delete that directory with the source?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi read somewhere (I think an article by AlienBob) that you needed to make sure .tgz packages where located in a safe place as opposed to the home directory so as to prevent accidental deletion.
I have a number of .tgz packages that I have already installed and moved to the /bin/ directory for safe keeping, but its not very orderly, ya' know?
Is it safe to delete/rm these .tgz files? Im assuming that the installpkg command extracts the creamy nougat inside and puts it somewhere useful.
Also, even if it is safe to delete, what is best practice in this case? keep them forever in some isolated directory?
i'm running out of partitions, i was thinking if i could get rid of the windows system reserved partition without messing any of my windows 7 OS & the recovering partition. I'm currently using grub2 to boot ubuntu & win 7.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use an old box as backup server. I have tried a couple of possibilities along the lines of:
Quote:
rsync -a --delete --progress --log-file=/home/$USER/info.txt -e ssh /home /etc root@192.168.0.106:/mnt/back
The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)
Why is there no Delete when I right click like there is with Windows in ubuntu? Pretty much everything else is there like new folder and so on Is there some way to add it? Also why when i delete something does it not ask me if I am sure that i want to delete that file?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just can't stand knowing that there's a slight problem with my PC.I have roughly 12.5 Gigs of files, mostly movies that are multiple clones of a particular movie (which was an entirely different problem altogether) and I CANNOT DELETE THESE THINGS! There has to be a simple way to do it from terminal, problem is, I can't seem to find the trash directory in terminal.

I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using 10.04 right now and the other time i tried upgrading to 10.10 beta version or alpha version it turned out to be a complete disaster cause it just wouldnt boot into the GUI no matter what. People say it was due to my ATI driver. Now since its a stable release, I want to make this install as perfect as possible so i dont have to reformat everything like i did last time.
Should i copy my whole filesystem into a external drive? In the event it doesnt work , i can just replace the files with the files on the external drive rite?
I'd like to install apache so I can tinker around with php a bit. I read a thread on how to set everything up, and it ended with a chap mentioning that it's important to take security measures while running apache. I haven't "gone out of my way" to make my Ubuntu install any more secure than it comes out-of-the-box. I keep my system updated via Update Manager's automatic updates, but that's it.
So my question is, am I ok to go ahead and plod through some php tutorials using apache to do the server-side stuff? what I would do to keep things safe if I were using a Windows machine?
I am using Fedora on my desktop pc. I want to know how can i protact my PC from outside world. What firewall policy should i implement in iptables to keep it more secure.

I've been using debian for sometime but I've never trusted in automated upgrade on my servers so my question is: Is this safe in cron and how often should I run it (everyday, once a week)?
apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade
Of course I have stable version installed.

I'm currently running OpenSuSE 11.3. I'm afraid as newer versions are released they will demand more of my old PC (Dell Optiplex GX270). Also, I've heard of issues with newer Linux distributions having issues with older Intel hardware (just hearsay, not personal experience). However, patches for specific OpenSuSE releases have a limited window of time.So,
Am I much more at risk to security issues if I keep a version of Linux past its patch date?Is it possible to keep a specific Linux release but still be able to receive security essential updates based on my repository selection?

I am running a game server on an Ubuntu 11.04 box. The game is Minecraft. The biggest (smallest?) bottleneck for my server is the read/write/access time of data on the hard disk. I feel an SSD could make a huge difference in performance.The Minecraft map is stored in individual region files that are further divided into 'chunks'. Each file is between 64KB and 10MB each (depending on how 'developed' they are). Users are crafting the world and so are constantly loading these files and editing them while playing the game. I'm hoping to have about 15-30 users on at peak times, and 2 or 3 at minimum. The server would be up 24/7.The entirety of the game directory (the map, player data, config file, plugins, etc) is less than 1GB. So I don't need a lot of storage. I will be performing daily backups of the game data to a much larger HDD on the system.Considering this scenario, would you recommend against using an SSD? I've read 'DRAM-based' SSD's do not have write limitations.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI read some of the thing under thread about ubuntu not working after update to 9.10, mainly connected with nvidia etc. This all seems rather complex for someone with only small experience. The Q is : is it safe today (bugs fixed?) to update from 9.04 to 9.10 simply via the update manager? Or will I have definitely no running system then and will need lot of special work to be done on drivers etc? My system is a dell dimension 4550, nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200. Or is the upgrade to 9.10 to dangerous still?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAbout 3-4 weeks ago, I tried upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 several times, using all of the methods. However, every single one of them had a bug; a black screen, completely blank. I saw other people had this problem and did everything others suggested, but yet I still got that black screen. So I decided to wait a few weeks and see if most of the bugs have been fixed. So is it safe to upgrade now?

It seems to be easy enough: [URL] and here for people who like me need to be held by the hand with simplest things: [URL] But as a newbie to ubuntu I've been burnt trying out seamless things that turn into tweaking nightmares that I can't manage. It would be useful to receive any prior warning as to how Dropbox cohabits with Gnome, Nautilus or anything relevant in Ubuntu 10.04.
