Is there a way to make dir so it puts all the directories on top, then sorts the files in alphabetical order? I can't for the life of me figure it out, and googling only leads me to a million copies of the man page, which does not really mention sorting much.
I normally do dir -ls but the file order is all over the place. It's time to find a better command and start using it I think.
How can you make htop sort the list of processes by PID?

I've even added the CD and DVD in fstab, but no use. Since those assholes replaced HAL with DeviceKit, I have to open the removable media manually. I've set the behavior of Nautilus to browse media upon insertion but no use.

When I installed Ubuntu 9.10, I had the partition thingy partition the whole hard drive. That was a mistake.
Now, I'm trying to install Windows 7 using the start-up disk and recovery disks. When I insert the start-up disk, it starts loading Windows files. Then it tries to re-boot, but it just starts reloading the Windows files. It just keeps doing this over and over.
How can I install Windows 7?
I am trying to get the title of all the windows that i open,but cant make it right... code...
the problem is,that it will write the current windows many times,until i open another window,and so on.
I have a hard drive with the following layout:
I want to delete the first two partitions (a 243 MB Linux swap partition and a 5.87 GB root partition). Problem is, every time I deleted them, Windows would also delete Drive G: and H:, leaving only drive F: intact. Deleting the two Linux partitions using GParted from a Live CD also gave the same result. I've attempted this multiple times now and, after each attempt, TestDisk always managed to recover all the deleted partitions.
Any ideas on how to delete these two partitions without affecting the rest?
This is happening pretty often. when in ubuntu, usually while i'm browsing the web, my browser will go dim then a box will come up saying something along the lines of missing resources. the thing is, all my desktop icons will then turn to red x's and no text characters on any further boxes will show. when i restart it says grub error and takes one more restart to finally come on. i got fed up with it and switched over to windows 7 where my browser also froze and my computer froze up.

I have used wubi for months.Today I decide to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my harddisk.I create a liveUSB to install 10.04.But the problem during installing is when partition detecting,the windows partition can't be detected.It shows 'Ubuntu' on /dev/sda1,but in fact it is the windows partition.I ignore it and go on.After all done,10.04 can work well,but windows can't be booted.
Then I try to use 9.04 CD to install,and it shows 'Widows NT/2000/XP' on /dev/sda1 correctly.At last,both 9.04 and windows xp can be booted.
Is it the problem involving the difference between CD and liveUSB,or 10.04 and 9.04?
Can you tell me why and give me a hand?
I have installed Fedora 8 on an old PC to use as a home network and I am having trouble getting a Windows PC running XP to get through to the internet, but I am able to access the internet from the Linux box with no issues. I can ping the gateway on eth0 from the Linux box, but I can't ping it from the windows PC. I am able to ping the IP address for eth0 from the Windows PC. My internet gateway is a modem/router from Hughes net. I also have a Netgear router between the Linux box and the Windows PC, but there doesn't appear to be any issues because I can ping both NICs from the Windows PC. I have pasted my Linux NIC config below. code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.

I was trying to create a partition to share between Windows 7 (pre-installed, and I use it for some games and specific programs) and Fedora 15 (I use it for everything else), but when I tried to do this, apparently I already reached the maximum of primary partitions, 4. So I have 3 for Windows and 1 for Fedora!
The schema I have (see picture) is, 10.5 GB for windows recovery, 100MB for windows boot, 341GB for Windows 7, and 48 GB for Fedora, and it's in a dual boot. My intention was to leave about 100GB for Windows, 50GB for Fedora and the rest for shared files.
But I also don't want to format the recovery files, I had luck when windows broke and I could recover it with this files (I don't have the installation DVD, but it is original and validated), so I would like to keep those files.
1. I make a backup (I have no idea of how or if this is even possible) from fedora of this partitions and save them as files.
2. I try to include the /boot of windows in the big windows partition, but, is this really needed? Can I just delete the 100MB windows booter? (is it enough with the Fedora one or do I need this one?)
Is there a way to make more than 4 partitions? (it would be actually a 3rd option, but I didn't find any info online)
I had Windows 7 installed on my system, then I installed Debian testing with grub2 as its boot manager.Initially I couldn't see windows entry in grub at all, so I ran:aptitude install os-prober kcpuload update-grub Now I can see the entry, but when I select it I get only Win7 system restore, instead of the the real thing. Any ides how to make it work?
EDIT: I tried the suggested approach to add a new file to /etc/grub.d, which generated an entry in grub.cfg, but it does not appear in the grub menu on boot :(
I have this:
grzes:/home/ga# cat /etc/grub.d/11_Windows

View 2 Replies View RelatedI must display two different windows (different application) on a single X display/screen., with a small sticky window that display buttons to switch from one (virtual) screen to the other.
Although I thought this would be an easy task for a simple window manager like fvwm, I didn't get it to work.
I've tried fvwm in combination with the FvwmPager, but I keep getting problems to place the different windows in the different virtual desk or page (automatically).
e.g. if you do: xterm -title "Hello" and xterm -title "There", I want Hello to go to virtual screen 1 and There to go to virtual screen 2.
I've also tried using metacity and switching between workspaces.
Is there an example configuration available? I'm not fixed on a specific window manager.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo here is the deal, I have my wifes computer set up to dual-boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. She uses a HP G60-445DX laptop, and something very funky is going on.
1. I first installed Windows 7, and it boots fine multiple times with no problem.
2. Next, I install Ubuntu 9.10. After installation is finished, I select reboot, and choose Windows 7. It boots fine.
3. Then, I reboot into the newly installed Ubuntu for the first time, get to the desktop, and reboot.
4. Now when I select to boot Windows 7, it gets about half-way, and suddenly reboots the computer.
I've troubleshooted this thing for days on end trying to isolate exactly what is causing Windows 7 not to boot. After reinstalling Windows 7 again, it once again boots fine, even after I use the live CD to restore Grub 2. It's only after I boot the fully installed Ubuntu 9.10 that her Windows 7 install starts acting weird. All I can narrow it down to is that after I boot into Ubuntu for the first time (after an install), Windows 7 no longer boots properly.
