I know that the question could sound weird but...I was wondering if is possible to download one or more parts of a file.
For example, the first 10 mb, or the latter ones.
I know that there are some apps that let you do segmented downloads, but, is there anyone that let you choose the segment to be downloaded? If not, can this be accomplished with any linux command-line application?
I'm using Ubuntu for about a half year. Currently version 10.10. The next problem I have with Nautilus: He have it in ListView. If I want to rename a file then the entire file is selected and not only the first part. So the file extension is also selected. I think this is a bug, whoich can be found on the Internet, but I do not find a solution. Does anyone here have a solution?
I have a .txt-file with ~50.000 lines of numbers, generated by a mathematics program. From this file, I need line ~ 1.100 to line ~16.000 (these lines are always the same btw, this may make the solution easier, dunno) to be copy/pasted to another file, where the lines ~500 to ~15.000 (also, every time the same) should be overwritten by the aforementioned lines...I haven't found or come up with anything that works yet, mostly I find solutions to copy everything from one file to another but I can't find something to specifically overwrite a part of a file with part of another.
I just used dd to clone a linux partition to a new hard drive, it had 800mb left on the old hard drive, after dd, new hard drive lists 1.29/1.3 terabytes full. Is this what happens by default in dd? How can I fix this?
I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.
we have access to one domain name , 1 internet ip address and may servers hosting different part of site. I want them all to be accessed via same web site . some of the server in our network are embedded devices.they have their specific utility being hosted on that machine. So the severs are bound to be distributed . I just wanted to know how can I access them via single ip, domain name.
I downloaded a .gz file. The network was disconnected a few times during downloading. I resumed the download each time with wget -c option. However after all the downloading is over, an error occurs when I try to extract the .gz file. Is there any way I can download only the missing part of the file?
In bootseqence of linux, the first step is check the CMOSRAM(size 64bytes) setup for custmor setting. So i am just confused wether CMOSRAM is a part of motherboard or is a part of RAM itself.
When I look in /var/cache/apt/archives/, I see packages I recognize that I downloaded. But, I also see packages that I know I did not download, but rather were part of the initial installation of the image iso file on the CD. For example, the package for Abiword is in there. I would like to know which packages in this directory I installed, and which were part of the initial installation.
How do I know which packages are part of the installation from the image iso file on the CD? Once I know that, I would make a copy of all the other packages in this folder onto a DVD, so if I ever need to reinstall Ubuntu 9.10 I will know which packages to install over and above those part of the initial installation off the iso CD.
I have this string ./DAT000728-652523058.job.I want to extract the no between DAT and - sign. I want 728. I dont want 000728.echo ./DAT000725-560162365.job | cut -d'T' -f2 | cut -d'-' -f1 I am getting 000728.string can be ./DAT326822-652523058.job also. then i need 326822
There are a few things I was wondering about (using tools available in bash):How to insert a file at at the specified location of another.How to copy a portion of a file between two lines matching a regex to another file (and/or making sed only work between two lines matching a regex)How would you do this?
I downloaded the Ubuntu file via the website and it was a Rar file. So I then extracted this file and there is no Iso file in there. Was it suppose to be a rar file and where the hell is my iso file? I want to know as I want to test ubuntu first via a disc before installing it.
Morning all , not sure how to put this. I have a .sh executable script I use for video encoding. I want the system to be able to see it no matter where in which folder I am. I want to be able to execute that script in terminal in any folder. How can I make it part of the system path. ? Don't know if my wording is right but I think you guys know what I mean.
anyone knows of a software to take a snapshot of part of the screen and save it as a pdf file. I have KSnapshot installed but this only allows saving image files.
I want to read values from a file...these are basically one word values, that is to say that the text file I want to read from contains lines of word length 1, as in:
I work for a company that does remote computer support, we use VNC protocol to help our clients. I installed a VNC repeater that allows my clients to connect to me going through all firewalls and port forwarding. The linux VNC repeater outputs all connection information to /var/log/vnc.log and looks something like
Code:
UltraVnc Linux Repeater version 0.14 UltraVnc Tue Mar 22 03:37:02 2011 > routeConnections(): starting select() loop, terminate with ctrl+c UltraVnc Tue Mar 22 03:37:12 2011 > acceptConnection(): connection accepted ok from ip: 55.555.555.55
[code].....
I need a script that reads this log file every so often (30 seconds to 5 minutes) and sends an email when an connection has been accepted. I looked into reading log files and got this so far
Code:
LOG=/var/adm/sqllog while true do tail -100 $LOG | grep "ORA" > /dev/null
What is the Terminology called of a Binary using a file that is not part of it's self? An example would be when a browser uses a HTML file for it's interface. The binaries code has to know how to find it and so on. I imagine that the applications binary uses a system call and that another application takes over.
The installation appears to complete itself successfully. However, when I come to then clicking on the new Opera logo in the panel menu, nothing happens. Even after a restart.
What could I be doing wrong? How should I launch Opera?
I need a webserver (LAMP) running inside a virtual machine (#1) running as a service (#2) in headless mode (#3) with part or the whole file system encrypted (#4).The virtual machine will be started with no user intervention and provide access to a web application for users in the host machine. Points #1,#2 and #3 are checked and proved to be working fine with Sun VirtualBox, so my question is for #4:Can I encrypt all of the file system and still access the webserver (using a browser) or will GRUB ask me for a password?If encrypting all of the file system is not an option, can I encrypt only /home and /var/www? Will Apache/PHP be able to use files in /home or /var/www without asking for a password or mounting these partitions manually?
I have a procedure say X output of X is : Fund name: Mutual NAV is: 1234
So I appended this output into a file using shellscript. But now my requirement is changed. The part of output like Fund name and 1234 should be in bold. How can I do this using shell script.
I download a lot of files that have been compressed into separate pieces by winrar, so that a 4gb file will be shown as dozen or so 93mb peices. In windows, using winrar, extracting them was rather easy but in Kubuntu whatever default program is being used throws a fit. In a perfect world I would want to get a open source alternative from synaptic, alternatively anything I can download in RPM I can eventually figure out. I want to avoid trying to get winrar working under wine.
I've been tinkering around with Linux over the past couple weeks. I've played arodn with both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 10 and it's been a 99% positive experience. I have noticed an issue regarding my internet connection.
I've noticed when I download a file in Ubuntu (either from the software manager, BitTorrent or just a regular download in Firefox), browsing the web on my computer becomes near impossible. The download itself runs at a good speed for our DSL connection (around 200 KB/sec) but anything else near a standstill. Just loading ESPN.com on my PC can take a minute or two. Someone else playing a game in the house will go from a regular 100-200 ms ping to 5000+ right when the download starts. When I stop the download, internet browsing and gaming speeds go right back to normal.
The weird thing is the same thing happened when I installed Linux Mint 10. When I boot into my Vista partition, this isn't an issue. Downloading a file in Vista doesn't affect anything, but it's happening every time in both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
I am planning to install Ubuntu or kubuntu netbook remix on my netbook. WUBI has a problem downloading the .iso file. So do you know where the wubi directory in windows is, i have the .iso file.
After downloading Fedora-14-i386-DVD.iso file (3.3GB), I cleaned the window with the list of downloaded files.When I opened the directory where they are always stored, there was not the iso file.I don't find it anywhere, wastepaper basket included.
I am, as the forum title suggests, new to linux and to programming and having trouble figuring out how to do this.I have a very large XML file with a lot of information in it. I'm trying to get a single tag out of the file, each of these tags contains a single web link and I want to download the file at every single one of those links. I really don't know how to do this.My thought, though its probably not the most efficient or correct way, was to use VIM to search the document and somehow extract all of this one particular tag and then use wget on the links.
