The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)
Why is there no Delete when I right click like there is with Windows in ubuntu? Pretty much everything else is there like new folder and so on Is there some way to add it? Also why when i delete something does it not ask me if I am sure that i want to delete that file?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed an application called DeaDBeeF. I added the GPG key, as well as the repo in my sources.list file. I've decided to stick with Audacious, so I did an "apt-get autoremove deadbeef" to remove it and all of its dependencies. I also edited my sources.list file and removed the line pointing to the repo in which I got it from.
Now my question is, how should I remove the GPG key, if I don't use the repo or application anymore? I don't want an unused GPG key sitting on my Debian if I'm not using the repo anymore.
I've tried reading the man pages but I can't seem to get it. I've tried the following command but it doesn't seem to work.
sudo apt-key del http://hadret.rootnode.net/debian/duckbill.key
might sound stupid as this must have been asked before but how do i delete my profile?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Windows when you delete a file, it really isn't gone.Have to have special software to actually wipe it.what programs in Linux/Ubuntu are along same lines.secure delete a file, secure empty trash, clean the hard drive unused areas (where files once were).Are they in package manager, synaptics or on the web?Update. I took the new Ubuntu system with me on road trip this weekend as a trial.Wireless network connection is from across street. Connected just fine.Hook Nikon camera in to D/L pics, "saw" camera immediatelyForgot cell phone charger at home. Used the USB cable.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with my login labeled "mysql" with the command # groupadd mysql# useradd -g mysql is is of course all within the confines of being super user. What I am having trouble with is that I cannot delete the user through the terminal using the command userdel but to no avail, it states that the user mysql is still logged in even though I have restarted the computer and logged in only to my root account.Whenever I try to log into mysql account it gives me multiple error messages something about the ICE authority and nautilus and when i get past these and onto the home screen, there is nothing, the wallpaper is there but there are no icons and no tool-bars, I cannot shutdown or get to a terminal while on the dysfunctional user. I cannot delete the user because it states I am logged in even though I am not.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently tried to delete some files off of my USB drive and it was being glitchy and really slow so I pulled the drive out and put it back in so it would read normally again. I now have an "untitled folder" in my trash that can't be deleted, and the error says "no such file or directory". Unlike a lot of the other problems I've read with not being able to delete the trash files, I don't think this is a permissions problem.
I probably made a stupid mistake and went into the .Trash-1000 folder for the USB drive itself and tried to delete the files, but each time I did that it just duplicated the original folder and renamed it, and now I can't delete those files either!
I put a MicroSD card in to a card reader, it's from a Nokia mobile phone, and then plugged that in to the USB port.For some reason I can't delete certain files. I am assuming my phone has some kind of virus.Ubuntu refuses to let me access, modify or delete the files that are in the music folder but clearly not music files.
So I tried to open the folder with Wine to try and delete it the windows way (I have no idea if that was even supposed to work) and I get an error message that says 'File not Found' in a typical windows error display box.Now I am having the exact same problem trying to open my home folder from the places menu. The same error pops up.All I want to do is clear a MicroSD card and put new music on it.Also, I am the only user on this computer, and I have administrator privileges, and I cannot access the root folder or the lost-found folder.
