Software :: Restore The Actual File From My_file.c,v File?
Jun 15, 2011
I am browsing our repository and I want to get this folder but all of the files there have ",v" in the end of their filenames and if you open each file, they have some written data which are headers for version control before the actual content of the file. I want to extract the actual content to make the file my_file.c,v --> my_file.c. Is there a command to do this?
I am having lock error and permission errors so I cannot checkout manually using CVS.
I have a large number of folders that each contain quite a few files of varying sizes (from a few bytes to 400kb or so), mostly smaller ones. I need to get the actual (not the disk usage) size of these folders. Is there any way to do this with a command like 'du'?
# # insert the line '-A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT' # in iptables # /-A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT/a -A INPUT -i edge0 -j ACCEPT
but when i run sed -f script iptables. it just echo's it to the the screen with my line added and not into the actual file. anyone know what i am doing wrong?
I multi-boot several Linux distributions with an assortment of additional data partitions. I get frustrated whenever fsck is forced during boot. (It ONLY happens when I'm in a hurry don't you know...) So I wrote a script to automate forced fscking when I do have the time. (And/or while I'm doing something else in another workspace.
Because I multi-boot, I've learned that udev doesn't always assign the same device name to each drive for all distributions. I've had the same partition identified as hda5, sda5, & sdb5 by different distributions (without doing anything to affect the boot order) So my solution is to keep a list of partitions in a specific file on each distro with valid device names according to that distribution's udev process. Actually I'd use LABEL= instead but the labels don't show up in /etc/mtab, and I like to make sure a partition isn't mounted before I try to fsck it.
I can make this work in a for loop using cat. But I've seen so many things about NOT using cat that I wanted to rebuild my script. I can make this work with a redirect instead of cat via a while loop, But I "LIKE" old style for loops. But I can't seem to find a way to make a redirect work with one. I thought this might make a good first �LinuxQuestions.org� question. I'm also open to any other suggestions on better/alternative methods... Is it possible to redirect from a file into an actual for loop?
My script is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash # FsckEm I script to force file system checking on unmounted ext2/ext3/ext4 # partitions in preselected list. FsckEm accepts no options. Partition
I'm confused about "hard link" feature. I've been learning from my UNIX Academy DVDs training that hard links to a file can be many and each of them is an effective filename for the associated data. So let assume that we have some very sensitive data in a file and we want it to be deleted and file has 20 links. I "delete" a file, but in fact I deleted only one "name" of it. My understanding from the training that data is still there until we delete the last associated hard link. But how can I find the names of all of them? If we have the names, they can be removed one by one. Or may be there's command that can trace all the "names" and remove them at once?
I use amarok 2 and I have a lot of files that are titled "Track #.mp3", in Amarok I have changed them to see as the real songs but the actual files are still the same. Is there a way to change the actual file names using amarok to match the tags I have inside of amarok? The reason why I'd want to do this:
1. If my home folder becomes corrupt I don't have to redo 100's of songs (I have a backup but none the less 2. If I ever decide to use another program or if I'm in W7 using Windows Media Player classic it'd be nice to have it recognize the correct files without having to double up on the tag editing
If this isn't possible I'm going to wishlist it because I think it's functional and having a bunch of Track# files is a pain but impossible to get around when you have a lot of mix cd's.
I was doing some experiment about resource-accessing. By mistake, I executed this command,$ sudo mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bakThen I could not execute any command with privilege(eg. sudo mv /etc/passwd.bak /etc/passwd). When I shut the system down, I could not boot it any more.
I am about to repave an FC14 box with FC15. To save a bit of mucking about, I would be keen to restore, from backup, the file(s) needed to reactivate my WiFi connection under FC15. I can always rebuild from scratch, but recovering from backup would prevent finger fumbles from making the task harder, as I have a long-winded 128-bit key.
i initially installed ubuntu, working with gnome for a while. i now migrated to kde as i like it better. however, the kde session still has lots of the "old" file associations set as they are in gnome...
some examples? text files open in gedit, instead of kate pdfs open in "document viewer" instead of okular double clicking zip folder opens the "archiver" (gnome?), extracting an archive from the archiver and then pressing the "open folder" dialog after extracting has finished, opens nautilus (although dophin is the default program for inodes). etc.
i'm aware of the possibility to edit file associations, however thats a tedious thingy to do, if you want to get it complete... furthermore, the file association edit dialog has the "defaults" button disabled, hence my questions:
is there any way to "restore" the kde default file associations, just as i would have installed kubuntu initially? i don't want to reinstall just because of this.
I'm using ubuntu for a few weeks now and i created a backup script that can copy some folders into a .tgz file. Now i want to place back the folders to where they come from and overwrite the original folder. like the /home folder in the .tgz file overwrite the /home folder on my harddrive. I already tried to do this with: tar xvpfz filename.tgz. But after that the folders came in the same folders as the backupfile stands.
I am trying to restore a tar file that contains a directory I cannot nor want to restore. How can I explicitly state the name of the directory? command I am using:tar -xzvPXf <tar file name>.tgz exclude-file=<directory>I have tried it with the exclude-file before the tar file name and same results. No restore.
O/S: Fedora 12 I am newbie in linux. What I want to do is: Make backup for my file system, cos I learn how to configure servers. So if I made some thing wrong, I want to be able to restore the default setting for my files. Instated of install new O/S.
I accidentally deleted the file called "fstab,v" not "fstab" The files location was /etc/fstab,v if it is very important file and what its used for & how to restore?, as my server seems to be running fine, but I don't want to get into any problems later down the line.
By naming one of my folders wrong I thought I don't need it anymore and pressed delete button while holding shift. Is there any way I could get that folder back? (I'm actually looking for the file inside that folder - .conky config file to be more precise) I've tried scalpel and extundelete, but none of them worked.
I seem to have removed / moved / deleted my /etc/apt/source.list file and was wondering where or how can I locate them again on the web? Is there a place online that has the default repository listings for 'Etch' & 'Lenny'? I did not lose them on both but this is something I would like to know in case it ever happens to me. Seems like this would be something easily available on the web but I can't find it on Debian's site and or via Google.
I have files and folders various permissions.I copied the files and folders to X server.But I forgot to copy of the permissions.Like is hereHow can restore the permissions?
I have a HP DV9000 laptop. The second hard drive bay doesn't support SATA II devices. I was cloning the original hard drive to the newer SATA II hard drive I purchased two swap them because bay 1 does support SATA II devices. I decided to use
Code: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb to get the job done. I double/triple checked my command with fdisk -l, but my dyslexia got the better of me. I should have ran Code: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda ....
I stopped the command about 1/2 hour in, it is a 160GB hdd. I tried using foremost to recover all of the files that hadn't been written over yet, but it can't recover Quicken filetypes. The ONLY thing I need off of this drive is the Quicken database. TL;DR I need to recover a quicken database file off my corrupted partition. What program can I use?
I was working on a shell script to change the permissions of large directories and subdirectories because of an exploit discovered in the programs that run in those said directories that allow a client to upload and download files to the server. Loan behold I accidentally added a space and had something along the lines of "chmod -R 770 ." run on / logged in as root.
Yes, it was an incredibly noob move on my part, but nothing ventured nothing gained. I am surprisingly calm about this. I tried sliding in my CentOS installation disk and "Upgrading" CentOS but that only made it worse, beforehand I made everything owned by root so I could at least log into GNOME. This does not work for obvious reasons, namely having to change the permissions back for every user and every group, which far beyond a possibility.
I'm setting up a server with Jaunty Jackalope version. I'm trying to test setting up a basic iptables rules... No matter which command I put in, it is failing on the first command when I run iptables-restore < file location (the first rule always fails). I'm doing this on the root user and first typing in the iptables rules in a test file. I've tried the first command starting with % sudo, iptables and -A. All have the same result. I've also tried letting the HTTP rule be first with the same result.
Short Description: I wanted to see what would happen if I upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 (32bit) to Ubuntu 10.4 (64bit) by copying my home directory then restoring it after the upgrade. It almost worked sans a few interesting problems that I'm hoping might teach me a bit more about how Ubuntu works.
Detailed Description:
1. I copied my home directory to another hard disk.
2. I let the installation disk for Ubuntu 10.4 (64bit) reformat and overwrite the disk that contained Kubuntu 8.04 (32bit) and chose to maintain the partition and swap size for that disk.
3. Once I worked out some bugs in the hardware and got the OS up and running smoothly, I "merged" my home directory with the backup I had created in step one. (Merge was an option given to me when I was attempting to paste the files copied from the backup disk.)
4. It should also be noted that I was trying for a while last night to install TrueCrypt. In order to do that I had to check its "sig" file. The GUI for the gpg installation was complaining that I didn't have gtk+-2.0 installed so I installed gtk (I think it might have been 2.4 or whatever the most recent one was) from source without any errors. It got late so I gave up on attempting to install TrueCrypt any further.
The Results: This morning the computer seemed to boot faster than it had been before, but I was left without a functioning Theme manager. It will open, and I can click on all of its features, but nothing seems to do anything. For example: If I right click on the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background" Then select "Get more themes online", nothing happens. Also if I select the "theme" tab, there are only two themes listed when there used to be about 9 by default.
Questions: 1.) Is there a way to restore the files that are important for correct system operation (possibly all the files starting with a dot ".*") in my home directory to there default state like they would have been from a fresh install, but without doing a fresh install and without loosing any of the documents or archives in my home file?
2.) Is this even the correct approach or might this cause more problems? For example, if your computer had this problem would you try and restore the home directory, or would you troubleshoot each problem as it arises one at a time until everything became stable?
3.) What could I do next to continue troubleshooting the theme manager?
I'll keep researching and trying to find some links that can help while I wait for your responses. If I find anything that helps I'll post the fix here.
There were some files residing on my ext3 file system, using Ubuntu as my linux distribution. Yesterday I formatted the hard drive using a windows install CD, rewriting it with a new NTFS partition. I'm willing to restore my personal files deleted due to this format.
I re-installed ubuntu 10.04 for prep I did a backup with Simple Backup Config after reinstalling i restored with Simple Backup restore some installed software software now doesn't start and after troubleshooting i think problem is file permissions but i'm not sure which permissions of which files to change and what they should be changed to. has anyone had experience with this and if so is it because it works or because its the right way to do it and it works funny thing.. i can't find any forum posts with info on Simple Backup!
i'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original image file that you have hidden data in with steghide. The basic Idea is you have a photo using gpg sign it and then embed the signature. then remove the signature at a later time and check it with the signature. I hope another "inverse" algorithm doesn't need to be written to undo the first (if a "inverse algorithm is possible). This assume you already have the pass phrase or that there is no pass phrase. I already know how to retrieve the original file just want to remove the hidden data from the Image and restore it's attributes.
I recently lost the default panel from the top task bar, a message appeared on boot up saying a config file was missing or couldn't load - or something to that effect. I didn't realise to what it was referring until the computer (an Acer One) completed its start up and I could see the desktop
How can I restore the panel? (graphic from my other Ubuntu laptop attached showing the default panel appearance)
i have generated .exe file from C file (ie filename.c ) after compiling in linux machine with -O option. I wish to know about how to run that .exe file when linux system starts up ?
