I want to create a hotkey to create new folder in Ubuntu 10.04 the hotkey I want to use: ctrl shift n
Is it possible to this?
I'm guessing its going to involve remapping the keys somehow...
I have this nasty habit of refreshing desktop in a quick succession by right-clicking and selecting 'Refresh',on my XP system at office.(And,iam sure most of us do the same).With Ubuntu,if a right-click on desktop slowly and select 'align by...',it simulates the XP refresh action as explained above.But,if i perform the same action rapidly,it takes this first option from right-click context menu,which is 'Create Folder',and results in an empty folder being created on desktop.I tried double right-clicking and again it created an empty folder.Is there any workaround to handle this.I mean:Can the right-click context menu items be shuffled so that the 'Create Folder' option is moved from 1st place

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to mount the device sdb in the folder /mirror so I issue the command dmd@dolly:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdb mirror. I would now expect to see the contents of sdb in /mirror but instead of mounting in /mirror it is being mounted in /mirror/mirror and the second mirror folder is created during the mount
dmd@dolly:/mirror$ ls - returns no results
I then say dmd@dolly:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdb mirror and look for my mounted files in /mirror and I see this
dmd@dolly:/$ cd mirror
dmd@dolly:/mirror$ ls
lost+found mirror (an additional mirror folder)
mount says
/dev/sdb on /mirror type ext4 (rw)
I'm sure I'm just doing something goofy or otherwise have screwed things up but I've tried this several times with re-boots in the middle and wherever I choose to mount sdb it ends up being mounted one level lower in a folder of the same name.
I'm using two OS in parallel, and all of my data are stored in partition D. I want to create a shorcut to a specific folder inside it, e.x: D:/path/to/folder and put it in the Ubuntu Desktop (~/Desktop).

Build Zip archive, special cases
I'm using zip to archive different files. I need to create a directory in the zip file where to place some of them. Is that possible ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a script that takes a location and does something to them then creates new files in the supplied location. I was trying to get the script to create the location if it didn't exist, but i can't figure out why it won't work. Here's what i've got right now
Code:
#!/bin/bash
destdir=$1
[[ -z "$destdir" ]] && { echo "No destination parameter supplied, exiting"; exit 1; }
[[ ! -e "$destdir" ]] && { echo "$destdir does not exist, exiting"; exit 1; }
[code]....
when i run the first one, it works if the supplied folder exists. If i try with my modification with a name such as /media/place/Foo bar, it creates a folder called Foo in the supplied dir, and bar in the dir i'm in when i run the script. the -p flag on mkdir creates parent directories btw.
Im having this error when im trying to edit my root directories...

View 7 Replies View Relatedi'm confronting atm. I need to create a folder where ppl can copy files and i need to be sure that those files cannot be deleted after they are copied there. The folder will be accessed over network, and i need to be sure no one will delete somebody else's files.Also i need to tell you that i'm working with regular users, so creating a folder for each user and chown/chmod-ing it won't do the trick(allready tried and ended up with a whole lot of files in the parent directory).I also tried chattr +a but that doesn't allow them to write new files in the folder.

I have a NAS and Ubuntu 10.x I like to make a shortcut from a folder on the NAS drive to the desktop.
If i right click on the file and click 'Make Link' it tells me that the target does not support symbolic links.
So what can I do to make it happen?
is there maybe a way so mount the NAS like a fixed system disk? Because from the system disc I am able to make links.
I don't seem to be able to create a new folder in my system files. I know I have to do this in the terminal as root, but I always get the answer that it cannot create the directory because there is no such file or directory. Yet the directory where I want to make the new folder definitely exists (I even just go there and try to create the folder)Here is the exact code:Code:lukas@lukas-VGN-FZ21E:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p$ sudo mkdir ossmkdir: cannot create directory `oss': No such file or directory

In re of Fedora 13. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to create a new folder with nautilus. Yes - I know about doing a right click in the background of the window to use the pop up menu to create a folder. BUT - ALAS - When the folder is full of files, there is no blank background space to click in so I cannot get the pop up menu to appear. Hence, I cannot create a new folder. Seems to me that the constant tinkering with Nautilus is leaving essential features missing or totally not-obvious to locate. Argh!!! Since the main menus are also missing (as compared to prior Fedora releases), I seem to be left with little choice other than to open a terminal window and do a mkdir command.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I create shortcut from one ftp folder to another using SFTP client such as WinSCP with Putty?
For example, application path is /home/primary/webapps/appication/
We have created new user with default home directory /home/secondary/
Using Bash command:
setfacl -R -m u:secondary:rwx /home/primary/webapps/appication/
we added full Read-Write permission for secondary user.
To access application folder he suppose to type full path to application folder which is not so convenient for daily usage.
