Software :: Finding Disk / File Utilities For Ubuntu
Aug 21, 2010
Once more I am playing with Linux. First it was Mandrake on an 386/33 box. Then Ubuntu 8.04 on an Athlon 64 box. And now Ubuntu 10.04 on an Athlon 64 Black. In Windows, there are beaucoup utilities, such as disk cleanup, dupe file finder, et cetera. I already know to NOT defrag a Linux HDD. Is there a need for any of the more common Windows disk utilities in Linux? FWIW - If I don't run Norton Utilities, CCleaner, and Glary Utilities regularly in Win7, I endup with gigabytes (yes, gigabytes) of trash files.

I have a system recovery partition on my drive. It's size is 1.4gb. I'm supposed to be able to boot to it but the MBR got rewritten a few times already I think. Maybe GRUB can get me to boot to it.

standard Linux installation utilities split the root file-system and the home file-system on two separate but relatively equal-sized partitions? For example, when I put fedora on an 80GB disk, it automatically gave the root file-system 32GB and home 30GB and the swap 8GB of space. However, since my home file-system has a directory with 28GB of files in it, why is my root file-system reading 100% usage? Is the home FS overlaid on top of the root FS? Is there an advantage to doing this? I just made a boot partition (50mb or so), a root partition (90% of the disk space) and a swap (4%-5% disk space).

This is the first time I have made my own install disks, instead of buying a boxed set. Edmunds Enterprises apparently doesn't sell them anymore. The checksum values are listed on the download site, but how do I compare them with my downloads? My ext3 partition is formatted (blank) awaiting installation, so I will have to do this in Windows, and I don't know how.

I'm looking for a tool that can directly convert mp3 file to a swf file. Tried ffmprg - 'ffmpeg -i master.mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f swf -y -vn new.swf', output is as follows:
Output #0, swf, to 'new.swf':
Stream #0.0: Audio: 0x0000, 22050 Hz, stereo, 0 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0
I found a way to perform this task using ffmpeg to convert the mp3 file to a wav file, and converting the wav into a swf file using swftools (wav2swf), although this is not a good option because the output swf file size is very big - for a 12mb input 320kbps stereo mp3 file, the swf file is 25mb. Also downloaded a free direct mp3 to swf conversion software, which had an output swf file - with the same 12mb mp3 file - of ~400kb.
The requirements I have from the tool are:
1. Can be ran from the shell.
2. Direct conversion, or an indirect one that will produce a small output swf file.
3. Suport for multiple file conversion is a plus.

if I install some benchmarking utilities via WINE, should I expect inaccurate results? I know about other benchmarking apps such as phoronix, but there are so many more I want to use that are of the .exe nature.

#1. Host Wheezy 7.8 KDE 64 bit
VBox 4.1.18_Debian r78361
Ext.Pack 4.1.18 r78361
Can use a WIN XP appliance (from my old PCLinuxOS) as guest there without any issues.
Added a second guest - Jessie 8.0 KDE 64 bit. Works, but no seamless display, mouse issue ...
So added inside guest:
non-X11 guest utilities + X11 guest utilities from the repositories
(These utilities are meant to be run inside the the virtual machine. They provide closer integration ...)
I simply don't know, how to run those utilities ...
What I get is
Code: Select all# systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● virtualbox-guest-utils.service loaded failed failed LSB: VirtualBox Linux Additions
● virtualbox-guest-x11.service loaded failed failed LSB: VirtualBox Linux X11 Additions
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
#2. Host Jessie 8.0 KDE 64 bit (on a second hdd)
VBox 4.3.18_Debian r96516
Ext.Pack 4.3.26 r98988
VNC 4.3.18 r96516
Same situation as in #1.
How do I run those xxx VBox applications inside guest?

I've loaded it as dual boot with Windows XP & I'm now trying to find equivalents for some Windows utilities. I have found two possible replacements for allway sync but how do I install them? One is Synkron and the other is FreeFileSync both downloadable from sourceforgenet. But they come as packages, one as a tar.gz and one as a zip. What do I do now? In Windows there is an .exe or install file.

I have a whole bunch of songs in WMA and I would really like them in MP3. I paid for the songs and my husband really doesn't like downloading so that's not a option. I would really be upset if there were no way to get these back. I've tried to read a couple of sites but I don't understand any of it. Some people said to get Audacity but that program doesn't even open WMA...not even to import.

I'm not very sure when this issue started. Anyway, the system finally boots and I haven't had any further problems, but I somehow notice the booting to be a bit slower since this error appeared and I don't like watching the red letters that say "failed" every time I switch the computer on. I googled this before posting it, and other users have had this issue, but the solutions that worked for them didn't work for me.
This is the content of my /etc/network/interfaces file:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

For some reason, a configuration file is being rewritten by "make" but the makefile is a bit big and I can't figure out where/when it happens. Is there a tool in Linux that would let me stop execution of "make" just before it tries to modify that configuration file? I read about inotify, but I don't know if it's the right tool.

But the thing is when I make grep it gives the whole line in which this string is present and gives some error: if[ grep "already there" file ]: command not found. I am very new to shell scripting.
