Ubuntu :: Contex Menu [Make Link] Make Same File Size?
Dec 17, 2010
I notice that when you try to Make link to any file or folder form context menu, It just copy the same file size? even when i tried to copy the link to external storage disk..
i got a small problem: i have some old software that used to run under windows.now i run it under wine, and it does just fine. but i cannot make a link to my desktop. when i go to the file in the directory, i choose right mousclick and then make link. then i copy the link to the desktop. but when i run the link from the desktop: i get errors: all bunch of files were not found. It seems like the link is actually the exe file itself ? or that the link execute the exe file at the directory of the place where the link is (that is the desktop directory)
The "Make Link" option is disabled in the context menu in Ubuntu 10.04. I want to make a hard link on the Desktop for my www folder.
I didn't have this problem in Linux Mint 8. I already tried the ln command. I also changed the owner and group that the folder belongs to, along with its permissions.
If I have a file in which data is written which leads to the increase of this file size Is it possible to make a constraint such that this file size mustn't exceed certain size let say 5 MB for instance
Is their a command I could use to do this? It needs to be 32MB (33,554,432 bytes), can be either random data or just a blank file, though random data would be preferable, and well... that's it.
Though also, is their a way I could copy the file in a terminal and it print out the info such as average speed and/or total time it took to complete. I'm trying to fight some bad reviews on this flash drive I bought that performs very well, and since stupid comment vs stupid comment doesn't win anything I need to apparently be the first to actually test this drive throughly.
in order to play "Gish" - I need to cd .gish./gish- otherwise it won't find it's files - it need the working path, how can I put that in a sigle line in my games menu ?
I was wondering how to make, what i know (ok vaguely remember) as a .bat file, or how to add a executable file to the drop down menues.i got freecol 0.9, and i can run it if i go into terminal, cd to the directory then type in java -Xmx256M -jar FreeCol.jarI bit obtuse, looking to know how to streamline.
Is there anyway to make Nautilus have a "Create Launcher" item under the File menu? Is there some plugin I can install or file I can edit? Launchers are very useful but always having to create them on the desktop first then move them to where I want is pretty annoying.
I've been trying to figure out how to use make and makefile to compile and link some .cpp/.h. All i seem to find on google says to read the README for the software. But this is my own created c++ project. Im just looking for a simple makefile for my own .cpp/.h files( about 20 total).
I have tried using 2 different makefile "examples" as a template, but neither worked. I am getting error saying "file1.cpp: no newline character at end of file". or something to that degree.
Can you make a symlink read only? I have about 100 users who all have a .login. They like to modify their .login, which is fine in most cases, but sometimes they do it wrong & it screws up a LOT of the things they are supposed to be doing. Because of this, I'm going to lock down all .logins & I thought, "wouldn't it be nice if we could modify one file & all users would get the modification?" So I'm currently testing having everyone's .login point to a central .login via symlink. It works fine, but it appears that the users can [re]move the link & replace it with a file, thus defeating the purpose. Can I lock down the symlink so the user cannot move or remove the link? FWIW, it must be a symbolic link (as opposed to a hard link) as the file it points to is on an NFS share (not the same file system).
I need to make a link that goes absolutely nowhere, since it has an onclick event that uses javascript to show/hide content. It needs to look like a standard link and the mouse needs to change to the finger cursor like a standard link.
The following all don't work:
Code:
<a href="#" onclick="show_element('jetshop')">Read more...</a> - moves to the top of the page. <a href="" onclick="show_element('jetshop')">Read more...</a>
I am trying desperately to get my wireless n adapter to work. I had it running sporadically with ndiswrapper for some months now (it was always unreliable). Now I was very optimistic, when I found new driver sources from Realtek directly: Realtek I understand the DWA-131 is based on the Realtek 8192su chipset. Unfortunately the build fails:
I am trying to use link scope IPv6 addresses to permit two machines to connect using IPv6, but I cannot figure out how to do it without specifying the interface to use on every connection. Here is an example ping:
[root@ppatel-brn1 ~]# ping6 -c 3 fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994 connect: Invalid argument [root@ppatel-brn1 ~]# ping6 -c 3 -I eth0 fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994 PING fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994(fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994) from fe80::214:22ff:febd:7c1f eth0: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.836 ms 64 bytes from fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.286 ms 64 bytes from fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.280 ms
i was using eclipse in windows 7, th fonts are small so I can see the code good. But I want to use in Ubuntu so I setup. But here the font size is huge and windows are taking more space and I am unable to code.How to reduce the overall font size and make it small?
When Installing Ubuntu what difference does the installation size make? Right now it's set at 17GB :/. The higher the install size better functionality or what?
I am trying to make a d-link dwl-650+ pcmcia card work through ndiswrapper method following the direction at:[URl]... The first step there is to install the "kmod-ndiswrapper" via yum.
But, how would I just download this package to a usb drive so that I can transfer it to the laptop that needs wireless networking. Is there an option in yum where I can just download the package, not intstall, so that I can save it somewhere?
I just installed Lubuntu 10.04 on old PC (CPU: 700 Mhz, RAM: 640 MB). My swap partition is only 474 MB. I was told it should be twice my RAM, if that's true then I'm really low on swap space. Can I expand my swap space? I also have Fedora 13 installed, it has a 1.3 GB swap partition, can I have Lubuntu use this partition?
I have this directory with multiple images 'pics' and the size is 20mb and I want to make a .zip or .rar package of this directory but with an increased size so the .zip/.rar file will be 100mb, and then when you extract it the file size is the original 20mb. I want to make the result file bigger, no compress it. I need to put all the directory in one single file .zip or .rar but it has to weight more (100mb), maybe it can be done with another application. By the way, I have a centos 5 from command line.
Each version of Ubuntu I've used, the size of the text in the virtual consoles (Am I allowed to call it "screen resolution" if it's a CLI?) has varies widely; some versions had the consoles in 80x24 text mode while others used much higher resolutions.this version of Ubuntu seems to use 80x24 characters, which looks really ugly on my 17" screen. Is there any way to make the font size smaller? QBASIC had a WIDTH command to change the number of rows and columns of characters,
I have nearly 200GB of space free on the HD with my linux main EXT4 partition, and I'm wondering if I can convert a large part of this to a new NTFS partition that I can use for my windows XP paralell install?
Basically, what do I have to do to resize and create the new partition and how do I get windows to recognize it?
I have been using windowmaker for some time now. I really love this wm, but I've one major problem; how do I make certain windows open the same size each time I open that program? For instance, I have a certain size I prefer for Pcmanfm, Vlc, deadbeef, and geequie, but every time I run them, they open anywhere on the desktop at all sorts of sizes. I especially hate resizing a video window when the video is playing.
I can do this in fluxbox, but I have a different set of problems with that window manager, namely, I can't organize my dockapps the way I want, despite editing the slitlist and some won't work at all. While I love Openbox, I can't get the windows sized right each time, either.
I know that you can make it full screen, however it just makes the background OS's background black, and still provides a smaller display. Is it possible to make the guest OS's screen (or display) full size?
This may seem to be a silly question, but I googled along and found that most of relevant complaints was about a bug in video card driver.
My problem is - For some unknown reason, I can't resize the Konsole window horizontally while I can still resize vertically. This is bad as the corrent width of Konsole window fills the entire screen!
If I open my 3.3MB .jpg file in Microsoft Paint and re-save it as .jpg it will right away loose it's size and go down to 1.5MB and still keep the good quality.
I have 100s of these picture files, so I can't set down and do it one by one in Paint.
I am wondering if there is any command in Centos 5.4 or tool that I can use to not only make these files size smaller but also to standardize their size to let's say 800 X 600. The latter is not really needed but it will be bonus if someone can guide me.
I am running a php photo gallery script and it takes way to long to load the picture hence the requirement to lower the size for all the files.
I know that there is "mogrify" and "convert" but I think they don't work without GIMP. I don't have GIMP installed and I do install it I think it goes on to install a lot of gnome libraries which I am afraid might break my server or overload it too much. My CentOS doens't have any GUI or gnome package to it and I want to keep it simple.
