View 3 RepliesI have a Mandriva server with a lot of documents (mostly in pdf format) on it. I want to be able to search on this server for certain documents, via the browser. Most preferably searching through the full contents, but a search on file name only would also do. When a document is found, it should be able to download it from the server, or view it on-line.

Okular worked well in the past; however, once all the requirements are met its almost kde.

I wonder which are the main disadvantages of using console based music players like cmus. I was looking around for reviews and comparisons with GUI music players but didn't find a lot of information which, to me, is a sign that console based players are so much worse off that there is no need to even compare them to their graphical relatives.
However, as I see it, I gain both speed and free up system resources by running a light weight music player in the terminal rather than one with a GUI. Then, I'm not at all very knowledgeable when it comes to audio players and music files so I'm thinking I'm missing something here. But what? Do I lose some tagging functionality, playlist or equalizer options or maybe even sound quality due to different usage of sound drivers or something? Or do people simply stay away from players like cmus just because they can't point and click with the mouse? (I guess it might be hard to get them to work intuitively with USB-attached mp3-players, but that's not a probelm for me.)
I'm not afraid of bash but I'm not very good with it either. I'm assuming there's a way of using find, perhaps in conjunction with another tool, to find images in a directory (and subdirectories) based on their dimensions?
Specifically, I want to find all the landscape-oriented images and copy them somewhere else.
Looking for console based calendar / time manager (or backend)? Well is there a good one to be known? Maybe else than 'when'? Joe Barr has written a nice intro to the program in his column at linux. [URL]. Is there some backend and frontend that could be used? Or alternatively, could it be possible to have them on an Kerberos/Ldap system or exchange server? What are the best and multiplatform single cal database possibility?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know find can do what I am looking for, but I am wondering if there is an alternative way to find files on the filesystem either created before/after a certain point, or at a certain time.
Typically I rely on updatedb & locate for most of my file searching needs. Issues with those tools, though, are that it only has directory and file names, and it only creates a database of local directories, not anything mounted via CIFS|NFS or via -o loop (eg, .iso images).
So if I need to find files created after yesterday across the entire system (local and remote filesystems), I am currently needing to use find.
What other tools, if any, would accomplish this in a similar fashion?
I have tried ls and grep, but that requires (in my attempts so far) multiple searches:
ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 10
ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 11
I have a directory with some data files in it. I did an md5sum find, and built an index of all the files contained:
Code:
find ./* -type f -print0 | xargs --null md5sum > MD5SUM
Now, based on my new index, I want to find the copies of these files as they appear in a new directory, where they have been renamed and reorganized.
i was using a serial console program (not minicom) two weeks back but took a break and have no idea what it is! man, it was awesome, too. it had a nice gui, similar to hyperterminal...and from what i think i remember it came packaged with f14.

I want users to be able to go to a web site, request an account (which I should be able to accept or reject), and upload/download/manage files in a web-based (preferably ajax-y) file manager. File access controls (via users/groups) is desirable.Yes, I know that SSH/SFTP is the 'proper' solution, but many of the users will be office workers and installing an SFTP client and configuring it is too advanced for them. Same goes for Samba+VPN setups...

Code:
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz
and it works when I use loadkeys manually, but not on boot.
Partclone works fine, but since it's written in Curses, it's unrealistic to expect non-techies to use it to clone a hard-drive.
if there is an X-based alternative, preferably in GTK+.
I'm looking for a software to compare two documents (for example .odt) side by side or highlighted in graphical way. I want to do the same as Word 2010 Compare Documents (see this: Microsoft Word 2010: View Two Documents Side By Side). I found in OpenOffice something a bit similar that, see in <Edit> -->> <Compare documents>, but it's not a good visual presentation. I'm looking for a software who give me the possibility to see the differences between two documents side by side, or highlighted.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI like the convenience of having a music player that manages the placement of my music files based on the tags of the files, sorting into a root music folder with Artist/Album/01 - Track Title.mp3 sort of hierarchy. Previously, I was using Banshee for this feature, as even most of the other gui music players don't have this library management feature. Now, I've been trying to use console-based applications, and I have been using mpd + ncmpcpp fairly successfully. When I download new music, it is downloaded to a specific folder, and that's not part of my music collection. My previous workflow would be to open a gui filemanager at the downloaded folder, and drag and drop those songs onto banshee, which would then make a copy of those files in my library hierarchy. Currently, I'm doing the same thing, using Banshee only as a sort of import program, then closing it and updating my mpd database, and there we go.
If at all possible, I'd like to automate this to something where I can define a watch folder, and when some magical program sees new music in said watch folder, it identifies the correct place for the files to be copied into my heirarchy, renaming folders and files to the correct format. I know I've written a lot describing, but I don't actually think this too uncommon a task, and I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for my problem.

I'm wondering if you can share some tips in regards to finding .conf files in programs when installing using package managers. I'm scratching my head on the fact that when you install a program through yum/apt-get, I don't know what and where the software is being installed at. In Windows, I know that when it installs an application, it goes into the Program Files directory, it's that simple.I know Linux has predefined directories for applications but sometimes it installs configuration files in /etc or some other locations in /usr which I have a tough time sifting through.
Is there a way to trace what .conf or any files for that matter which relates to what software that needs it? It's just hard for me to understand what file relates to what application at the moment. As much as I would like to learn more about Linux, this process for me takes up alot of time. I hope you can help me out on this one.
If I were to lease a linux server on from a hosting company could someone among you give me a list of possible current uses/applications that would earn money these days?
