why is it when i place my tcl file in the desktop it doesn't work, but when i place it in ~ns/ns-2.34 folder it works? and the command is work is "./ns filename.tcl" instead of "ns filename.tcl"
I use of lenny beside Windows and have some ntfs partition and one fat32. I mounted them in start up but in my fat drive I cant clean any files or cut files to another place.
i would like to find and backup all *.mp4 files from /Pictures and its sub-directories and move them to a single directory on a remote. I can find and move the files but I don't want the directory structure...just the files to be placed in the remote directory.
I have a Fedora 12 box with a fresh install. I use ktorrent to download something, eg a series, into my home folder. Now, as root, I move (not copy) the folder with the downloaded files to /var/www/html/bob so that when someone opens http://myserver/bob/ they see the list of folders and files I have placed there. I also chmod the whole folder to 755 and chown to root.root. The folder I have just moved there is not displayed. So to work around it (before I realised it was SELINUX) I created a new folder. Now the folder is visible. Good. So now I move the files into the new folder and delete the old one. The files are displayed ... good. But wait, there's more: you cannot access (download) the files, even though they are visible.
1. How do I VIEW what context is assigned to these files?
2. How do I correct the context so that http server can allow people to access them?
3. How do we get the SELINUX authors to consider re-labeling files when they are moved from one place to another so as not to cause this fault?
I need to write a shell script which can ready content of the folder and place files on remote FTP server. I need to make sure that a file that is already placed on remote FTP server is not attempted second time. The file names will be something like Records-2011-05-09. The files will be generated by MySQL every hour.
I have a second HDD oon the computer and the fedora system can see it so that is no problem. The problem is that when i want to make a folder or put a file on that HDD i get the message:
Error while copying "filename". There was an error copying the file into /media/a53d6b68-7242-4f43-8cd9-8dfc1b592ad2. Error opening file '/media/a53d6b68-7242-4f43-8cd9-8dfc1b592ad2/filename': Permission denied
How can i solve this? (and how can i make the disk called something else then a53d6b68-7242-4f43-8cd9-8dfc1b592ad2)
Also there is a folder on the disk named "lost+found" what is this and why is it there?

I'm wondering how you can post web content on your desktop like you can in windows. Like to have your XBL gamercard on your desktop sort of thing. But what I want it for mainly is to put the countdown to 10.10 on there.

I have the following setup a) 1st sata hdd - Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit) b) 2nd sata hdd - Win7 (64 bit)
I am on GRUB legacy. I am going to do a clean install and replace Ubuntu 9.04 with Ubuntu 10.10. I plan to leave my Win7 install alone. When I am installing Ubuntu 10.10 over Ubuntu 9.04, where should I place GRUB 2? The choices I've always seen: i) MBR or ii) boot sector of Ubuntu
I do not recall which setup I have now but I can confirm that when I start the computer, I get a GRUB menu that lets me choose Ubuntu or Windows. Ubuntu is the default if no choice is made within 20 seconds. I like that setup and want to replicate it with GRUB 2, if possible. If that is what I want, then I should place GRUB 2 on the MBR, correct or not? Note, I do not intend to install any other OSes. In other words, my 1st sata hdd will only have ubuntu and my 2nd sata hdd will only have windows.
Some app launchers can't be placed in the dock. The ones i have trouble with are the three games from Humble Frozenbyte Bundle, namely Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor and Trine. Their launcher icons look fine on dash, but when i start dragging them and the dash disappears, the icon turns into a question mark. Items on dock make room for the question mark icon, but after dropping it, it disappears and the dock icons return to where they were.
I guess there's something non-standard about the launchers. The games are installed under my home folder, and the game icons are xpm files in the game folder, like /home/veepee/.trine/Trine.xpm for example. The executables are in the same folder, like /home/veepee/.trine/trine-bin.
Too bad the print screen key doesn't take screenshots when the dash is up. What's up with that anyway?
I have a software program that when you try to install it on Centos it returns "This programs requires RHEL 4" Is there a work around to get the software to use the Centos software the same as it would RHEL 4?
I have just installed slackware 13 on an old machine I am bringing back into use. As I have a spare Linksys wmp54g card I would like to try to get the wireless networking in place.From reading the forum the relevant advice seems to be fairly old (2004-2006). I wonder if anyone can advise me what the current steps would be?
I have migrtaed from Arch, my first experience with linux for the past 2 months, to Debian and i'm currently setting up my system. I have a X61s Thinkpad with a cracked screen which i use with the ultrabase with an external monitor and keyboard. The monitor requires me to use fbset on console and xrandr for a graphical enviroment Whilst i was using Arch i used 'startx' to access openbox and placed my xrandr configuration in ~/.xinitrc but with debian i have wanted to use a login manager, Slim.
Because i am using KMS for my intel based system i don't have an xorg.conf and because i am using slim i am not using ~/.xinitrc I read somwhere that creating an ~/.xprofile file would solve this but i have not had any luck. So i am wondering where would be the best place to put the xrandr configuration?
I decided to try and spruce up Gnome and found an applet called talika. Now to install this I have to install libwnck first. I used yum but can not seem to point talika to the place where libwnck is which is troubling. So a couple of questions. Is there an easier or better source to find customizations to add to the gnome desktop or is gnomelook the best option and how do I point talika to search for libwnck in the spot where yum put it? I have googled talika F12, searched the forums, and have not been able to locate anything.
Whenever I add something to my desktop, if something with the same name has been on my desktop previously (like 'screenshot.png'), it will go to where it was previously, which sometimes causes the icons to overlap and what not.
I just wanted to know if it was possible to make the icons always go to the first open place.
how do i make it so that all the desktop icons in my xubuntu session are freely movable? right now they are snapping into pre-determined positions (does that make sense?)...
my window buttons are at the left corner, it works but i love it more when they are in the right corner. So what i must do to change the position to the right corner?
while using StumbleUpon to find all things computer related, I found a VERY interesting article on BURG, something that makes grub look beautiful.My question is, how safely can I install this? Could somebody modify the instructions for me if my Linux drive /dev/sdb, and I have /home and /usr mounted on different partitions? Working with the bootloader has always been a wee bit over my head
I've got Ubuntu server 10.04 set up and I wanted to make a few restrictions. It's pretty much just acting as a VMware server at the moment, and there are some users I've created who I only want to be able to be able to log into the VMware infrastructure web interface. I want to make sure these users can't log in via SSH, FTP, or the console itself. I understand how to block them from logging in via SSH by using DenyUsers, and I added these users to the /etc/ftpusers file to lock them out of FTP, but how can I block them from logging in at the console itself?
I tried locking the user out by editing the /etc/passwd file, but the problem is that by doing this, it also prevents the user from being able to log into the VMware web interface.
The user's entry in /etc/passwd looks like this: bsmith:*:1005:1005:Bob Smith,,,:/home/bsmith:/bin/bash
