Ubuntu :: Fix Path To /home Directory ?
Feb 3, 2010I thought i'd set up the partitions correctly when i installed ubuntu, with a 15 gig "/" partision and a 45 gig "/home" and a 3.8gig "swap"
I was wrong i somehow misplaced the /home partition, and therefore didn't install it
I found this out about 4 days ago as i was running though video tutorial and realized i didnt have it setup correctly afterall
So... i did some research and found this site...[url] and i found something that seemed to work for various people, i deleted the 'now' windows partition and so i had this:
However i unmounted the /home folder following the instructions without realizing that i didnt have permissions to mount the /new home partition as it is not in the extended ubuntu 9.04 linux partition and i have no rights to it
So my question is, how do i fix the path to the /home folder (original) in ubuntu so that i can start over and do this correctly (ie; resize the extended partition and add the /newhoe directory/patition to ubuntu)
I realize that i can use a sudo command before lines to run su commands that are blocked in ubuntu, which is how i screwed up =
I cannot use anything in the menu as all links to programs are dead, i can run the add app, but it cannot install as the install folders are "not there"... i can see them in the terminal so i know my data is there and i can run the live disc to salvage it, but i cannot see it while ubuntu is loaded
Note; i have not restarted the computer and i don't know if this will block ubuntu from restarting either, so i need to fix via terminal, before i can do anything else, like letting the laptop rest.

Ubuntu Servers :: CD Into Directory Of Path Available
Apr 13, 2010I was wondering if we could cd in the directory of the PATH variable. For example, if I type in echo $DISPLAY. It will give me /tmp/launch-3ee4fg/org.x:0
Is there any way that I can just take the value '/tmp/launch-3ee4fg/' from the output of $DISPLAY and exclude out the filename to the end of the command. I tried using the read command and the IFS variable..apparently IFS does not recognise / I guess.

Ubuntu :: Export PATH To Adb Directory Through Bashrc?
Feb 25, 2011I,m having a rough time getting the terminal environment to recognize my android debug bridge path (which is set in a separate hdd) I used to paste this in my bashrc, but then found that it would make the env system bonkers whenever i attempted sudoing with an option:
# Android Debug Bridge (ADB) sdk path
alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
export PATH=${PATH}:/media/Disk/Linux/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
The "alias" line was the one making me have a rough time with env.
Now that i got rid of it everything is well but adb's path isn't exported anymore.

Ubuntu :: MATLAB Installation - Adding Directory To $PATH
May 27, 2010I've followed the guide here for installing MATLAB. The installation completed successfully, however, the launcher created doesn't launch MATLAB as MATLAB isn't installed anywhere pointed to by $PATH. What's the best way of solving this - adding MATLAB's directory to $PATH (in which case how do I go about doing so), or (re)installing MATLAB to somewhere already in $PATH?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Put A '/' In The Directory Path With Apache?
Nov 8, 2010I am using Apache/2.2.3 on Centos 55. I am having an issue that is pretty strange to me. Whenever I navigate to a url on my webserver from outside my network. I have to put a '/' in the directory path for example When I type in: mydomain.com/directory1 it winds up redirecting to the hostname for my server HOWEVER When I type in mydomain.com/directory1/ it works, since I am adding the '/' at the end of the path. I suspect it is because I do not have my FQDN set up correctly.I did not have this issue when I was using Ubuntu 10.04 , I suspect because Ubuntu automagically set this up for me. Is there a particular way I need to setup my FQDN in centos to get this to work properly? I have tried going into /etc/hosts and adding my FQDN in there, but I do not think I did it properly, is there a particular way the /etc/hosts file needs to be setup?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Zip - Excluding Whole Directory Path ?
Sep 12, 2010I'm trying to compress with zip for linux utility a file
Is need to be done (example):
But I would like that in the zip file there is only one file: source.file instead the whole directory path /usr, /src,... and the file.
I can't move up to the directory /usr/src/ to execute the command.
I must do this from / directory.
If this possible? I Windows systems even if I do the zip C:directory1directory2source.zip C:directory1directory2source.file, it does what I need: a Zip in directory2 with just the file source.file.
I've been looking up the man page for zip, but did not find anything useful, tried, -j, -D with no success.

Slackware :: PATH -13.0: No Such File Or Directory
Apr 21, 2010I am working on getting my software packages installed on my fresh Slackware64-13.0 installation. Some (but definitely not all) of my executables are unable to be run.
I understand what PATH is for. It is for locating files, folders, executables in those directories when running from a Terminal window.
So, for example, I have just installed Cisco VPN Client for Linux, and it is the strangest thing. I should have access to this. I must not be understanding something here. Does anyone have any idea why this is not working for me? I have put in an example of what I am talking about.
I have no idea why this is not working.

General :: Shell Script - Use Variable In A For Loop With Directory Path?
Jan 19, 2011I modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.
I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.
Here is what I have:
for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;
diff /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt.old /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt;
done
I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

Ubuntu Servers :: Set Home Directory Path Different From LDAP's Home?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Forcing An Absolute Path Where A Relative Path Is Expected
Feb 21, 2011I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
