I'm trying to determine the total disk space used by some files with certain type.I'm trying this with find, but maybe there's another solution?The fact is that I don't know what should I give to the pipe next to find (or whatever command) so that I can determine the total disk space used by that files.

how to find total size of all files whose names starting with a
OS: SunOS
du -h a* is giving individual file sizes.
I'm looking for a standalone backup manager with the following properties:
1) Easy scheduling.
2) Automatic encryption of backups
3) Ability to remove old backups based on total size, not just backup age. (to avoid overfilling backup media)
4) Since this is going onto a business-critical machine used by a techno-peasant, it needs to have a snazzy, graphical interface for easy monitoring and configuration.
I am sure I *could* write this myself, but I find it hard to believe that there isn't one out there already, and I am lazy. Unfortunately, there are also a very large number of backup programs out there with less than complete descriptions and I am getting tired of installing each in turn to see what it does.Has anyone stumbled across something like what I just described?
Assuming there are two list objects a1, a2.
a1 = ['
']
a2 =['hi
']
len() built-in function gives total number of elements in the list object.
len(a1) gives 1. len(a2) gives 1 also.

I thought there exists a built-in function that gives total size of a list object in byte. So using the function produces 1 for a1, 3 for a2. I haven't found such function or module yet.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi'd like to know the total filesize of all files found with the find command, so
Code:
find -iname '*.mpg' | xargs -I {} du -sh {}
but this gives me the filesize of each file, since each line is passed to "du".
how can I pass the whole list through the pipe?
I have a very weird memory issue (as you may have guessed from the title). There's a discrepency between the memory accumulated by the various applications (using "ps -eF" to collect that) and the memory reported by system monitor/"free" Basically, I have around 0.5GB of memory that is not occupied by any application, but is not free as well. (It is not used as cache as well)

I currently have XP installed on a NetBook (Samsung NC10), and would like to run Fedora on it. I'm currently looking at putting Fedora onto a flash memory card to test it works OK on the hardware, before installing it to the hard disk. The problem I've got is that the boot sector is occupied by WDE software (TrueCrypt). Will this pose a problem for dual-booting XP with Fedora, or will GRUB move the boot loader in the usual way?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a command for moving a certain amount-or all files-of a certain type? I know how to move files around but I can't find anything that explains how you would move multiple files at once.Writing this, I wonder, is it possible to move files by their size-moving all files under or over a certain size-rather than by type or name? I've looked but can't find how to do this, or if it's possible. Can't find anything on google with any combination of search terms.

I go to [URL]...Ravel,_Maurice) >Performances>Prelude a la nuit. If you place the mouse over there, a little box pops-up that says 'Download this file'. So, by clicking 'Prelude a la nuit' I should be downloading the corresponding file (.mp3). But this does not happen. Instead, gxine opens. How can I change this undesirable behavior?
Should I modify something in the web browser? Or perhaps in the desktop environment? I did the following: in SeaMonkey, the web browser I use, I put the url 'about:plugins'. In the table that says "gxine starter plugin" I read audio/mpeg3 and audio/x-mpeg3. So, I went to Edit>Preferences>Helper Applications>New Type. Here I put MIME Type= audio/mpeg3, Extension= mp3. In the same dialog box, under 'When a file is encountered', I chose 'Save it to disk' and 'Always ask me before handling files of this type'. I did the same for audio/x-mpeg3.
I somehow managed to screw up my lucid lynx system so that all files show up under Nautilus properties as Type Plain Text. When I double click a file, any file, the system tries to open it as plain text with gedit. Everything worked correctly until yesterday when I tried to install a new version of PyQt4. If I reboot with an old (karmic) version of Ubuntu and bring up Nautilus Properties on the same file (my data partition can be opened in other OS's) the files show up with the correct file type (PDF, ODT, etc) So the problem is not in the file itself, but rather in the lucid OS, which is mis-interpreting the file type. As I said I somehow messed it up when installing the new version of PyQt4.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have made the simple mistake of using dolphin to rename several picture files of types jpg and png. I have no problem viewing them and Ubuntu still knows which is which (if i view their properties it will state File Type: JPEG or PNG) but unfortunately Ubuntu Tweak does not allow you to chose them without the extension (I am trying to change my login background using this) So what i need is something that can scan several files, determine the file type, and add an appropriate extension to it. I have found several to do so for music files but none for images. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 at the moment.

I installed MS office 2003 via wine on Slackware 13. I need to know how to associate files with the right Office (msword, msexcel, msppt) program. I made launcher scripts that can launches office files from the CL, but the user on this computer will want to be able to just double click a file in dolphin and have the right office program come up.For some reason all office files show up as x-ole-storage instead of application/msword or something similar. So, even if I tell Excel to associate with that file, it will do it for Word and PowerPoint files as well.
.ppt, .doc, and .xls extensions were configured via the KDE file associations panel, but this did not help. I played around with the raw files under ~/.local/share, but I did not find the solution.The version of WINE is 1.1.24 (built from SBo SlackBuild).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI erase XP and do a clean install of 10.04 netbook remix on my Acer AspireOne. Almost everything seems to be working ok (so far.....3hrs after installation and still testing!) except for:
1: My main partition is formatted as ext4, and when I try copy back any (video .iso !) file that is larger than 4.1 gb I get a memory error and so only copies the file incomplete up to 4.1 gb. I know this problem under windows FAT vs NTSF but I have read that ext4 was beyond this... So what did I do wrong? Is the solution to switch the ext4 to ext3 and can this be done without loss of installed programs or files.
2: Video and Sound with video is not good. Lots of disturbance/turbulence and for sure not optimal for both video and sound.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to clean up a few hundred thousand mp3 files and I'm dying to find a way to automate some of the mechanical tasks I keep doing. It seems like at least two of these tasks could be easily accomplished with something at the command line, but I don't have the chops/know-how to figure out how (and would really rather not trial and error with batch deleting files & folders...).
1) Delete all folders named "_MACOSX" (and all subfolders/files contained therein) -- Basically, I'd like to apply this command to a few hundred directories that may or may not contain a subfolder called "_MACOSX" that I'd really like to get rid of.
2) Delete all files named "*.m3u". -- Similar to the first, I want to automatically scan all directories and subdirectories in a given location for all instances of this file-type and delete them wherever they're found.
3) Move all files named *.txt", "*.doc", "*.pdf" to a specific location. -- Similar to the last, except instead of deleting, I'd like to just move them, so that if there is anything worth keeping, I can keep it.
I want a list of all my mp3 files (or any other kind of file, actually) telling me HOW MANY OF THEM I have in my computer.I tried with both find and locate commands in terminal, but they don't tell me how many files I have.
