Installed Ubuntu last night on a friends computer. I never work with pdf.files. Is there anything he can use to edit them on Ubuntu. I had to laugh thou when I returned home from work he was playing with Ubuntu, and downloading .exe files, and was frustrated why they were not installing.
View 4 RepliesI have lots of files I need to put in my /var/www/ folder (Apache http server). I thought I understood how to edit it:For single files: sudo cp file /var/www/For opening files: sudo gedit /var/www/fileBut I can't use the above for a thousand files, and I really can't afford the learning curve of BASH scripting at this time. So if there a way I can do this the GUI way (drag and drop and all that) without having to add myself in the group permissions for the /var/www/ folder?

Cinelerra 4 - no sound
Kdenlive - aside from crashing all the time, renders with unacceptable artifacts.
Lives - spends a long time making proxies then crashes
Avidemux - crashes on save/render
Kino - plays back first frame then last frame. Kinda funny but not.
Open Movie Editor - Does nothing at all
Open Shot - Can't find any libs
PiTiVi - Tools? We don't need no stinkin' editing tools.

Is it time to retrench back into Windows 7 where there are numerous editors that actually work? Sure, costs money but the free stuff just dont work.
BTW, VLC plays the files back beautifully -- no skips, no jerks, sound completely in tact.
I have a remote server running Ubuntu, but the only computer that I have physical access to runs windows xp. Is there any way to edit the files remotely? Right now, I'm using ssh and then nano to edit the files, but I'd rather use a windows text editor (notepad++). I know I can use pscp to copy files, but every time I make a change to the file, I have to uploaded again to see the results (very tedious).
PS- the win xp computers im using are at my college. You CAN install software on them, but there's a firewall to the outside internet blocking SOME ports... SSH, port 80, port 8080 work fine right now. I can get admin access to the windows computer, and I have root control over the ubuntu one. Also, I can only use whatever computer is open... so I'd prefer to use a program that can be installed on a USB stick.
I haven't put this in the forums for any of the separate programs, because im having the same problem in all of them, im thinking maybe its a problem elsewhere?I recently got a Canon DSLR. It can save in Raw format, I use this function. Canons Raw format is "Whatever.CR2"F spot viewer and all editor programs see then and 'preview' them with no problem. The images appear to have no problem until you load them into GIMP (with UFRAW) UFRAW standalone, RAWStudio etc.
They load, but only as a small vertical rectangle. Often very purple in colour.I thought maybe it was something wrong with just the way it looked, so I just loaded one, went save as (a jpeg) and then loaded it up, it loaded as a small picture of the same purple-haze bar.Have I done something wrong? I googled it, downloaded UFRaw, even Ubuntu studio, same problem before and after studio installation. All these programs claim to read raw images.Just as an example, In RawStudio:I load up the folder of raw images. I can see all the images clearly with no problems in the preview slider up top. I can scroll through them and see them all no problem. When I click on one, it loads in the editing box as some weird bar (always vertical in orientation) often faintly resembling part of the photo but with seriously acid trip colours. Eg massive purple hazes, green everything etc.
sometimes i edit files in a remote server. i normally mount the remote drive via sshfs and edit a configuration file or two and some text files using gedit. after i upgraded to 10.04 i cannot save the files that i edit anymore. i can rename the file. but the weird thing is that i cannot save the file after i edit it. one of the files that i was editing is crontab.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHaving just spent many hours going through my entire photo collection tagging, rotating and editing (red eye, cleaning up etc), I am now sat with the window open deciding whether or not it's safe to close it.
I cannot find a save or apply button so I'm not sure if these changes are only made in F-spot itself or if I have to do anything else to make sure it saves to the files.
I DID check the option about storing data in the files where possible but I don't want to just assume it and have to do all this again.

Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

I have a directory with hundreds of html files.
For all the files I have to:
- delete all the row from the beginning of the file to the sentence "<img src="immagini/_navDxBottom.gif" />".
- delete all the rows from the sentence "<br clear="right" />" to the end of the file.
How can I do that?

Im sure its just one small thing Im forgetting..Its been a while since I played around with my server!
a friend of mines laptop died a few weeks ago and i said i would extract data off the drive for her... did this with dd and created a .image file. I have this image mounted so it is browseable, and we can copy files from it however i am unable to delete files from it?
You'd think it was not a big deal... but i'm running out of space!! and the .image is 90 odd gb. I know i "could" just get the disk and copy the files off she wants... but that would be too easy
I was attempting to set up my ubuntu 10.04 system to load Synergy before log in to eliminate the second keyboard and mouse on my desk using these instuctions. However, once I log in I get a quick terminal screen which flashes so quick I can't read it then I am put back to the log in screen. I'm pretty sure I just need to remove the syntax I added to the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file and the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup file and redo it (with less beer). The problem is that user account was the only user account I'd ever bothered setting up on this system and I can't get logged in.
Is there another account built in that I could use or do I need to hook the HD up to a SATA - USB cable and edit the files from another machine?

I currently use putty to login into "user1", switch to "root" using su -, and then edit the file.
I would like to edit the "root" file directly from my home XP system which has a SFTP connection to the remote fedora 7 system (using Aptana RadRails).
I am not sure how to do that. I had 2 ideas but I am just guessing and afraid to proceed with so little knowledge.

From what i have observed it seems that the songs for which this is an issue are those which i have converted using sound converter. Here it seems that it is the same files in both programmes so i am thinking that there must be something i can do to the file to have it be recognised.
