Ubuntu :: Gparted Inserts 1 MB Unalllocated Spaces?
Sep 5, 2010
Using gparted, version 0.5.1 to make 7 partitions on my hard drive. partitions 1, 2,and 3 are normal.Partition 4 is an extended partition. Within this extended partition, I have partitions 5, 6, and 7. 5 and 6 for my Linux distributions, with 7 being the linux-swap. Here's my question. I have unallocated spaces between 5 and 6, each 1 MB in size. I have been using Ubuntu since 2007 and I have never seen this before. I am wondering if I inadvertently clicked a box during installation, or is this something new in gparted.

Is it possible, in Linux, to rename a file from something without spaces to something containing spaces? I know I can create directories and files with spaces by doing:
mkdir "new dir" and:
touch "new file.txt"
I want to rename files from:
imgp0882.jpg to something like:
20091231 1243 some topic.jpg
And how would it look in a shell script that uses parameters like:
for i in *.jpg do
rename "$i" "$somepath/$mydate $mytime $mytopic$extension"
?
I'm new to Linux (using PCLinuxOS 2009.2), coming from Windows, and I've written myself a little shell script to download files from my camera and then automatically rename them according to a date-and-topic pattern. As you can guess by now, I'm stuck on the bit about renaming. If you want to see my script, here's a copy. I'm not using jhead for this renaming because that only works with JPEG files but I want a single solution for any media format including videos.

I use Koverartist to produce and print CD/dvd jewel case inserts. It is a simple program, easy to use and effective. Recently I've needed to produce case covers for audio cassettes. I realise that this is somewhat old fashioned an activity. Has anyone come across a simple program which will suit my purpose?

I have 3 Ubuntu installations & a PCLINUXOS, plus Windows XP installed on one hard disk. I still can boot to each one of them and can mount each one using Ubuntu.
The problem "may" have occurred when I reduced the size of some linux partitions using gparted. I still have plenty of space in each of those partitions.
When I started gparted all of the HD was unallocated. I did that from each ubuntu installation and the PCLINUX installation, plus LIVECDs. All indicated the space was unallocated.
When I did an fdisk -l from a Puppy Linux LiveCD I got a normal start and ends of each partition.
When I tried it from Ubuntu installation or live cd, I received the following types of responses:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
Disk /dev/sda5: 28.5 GB, 28566397440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3473.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Plus the Windows partition seems to go over its limits.
Since all of my OS installations are still working, I don't know how critical this is. From reading another post, I understand this might be able to be fixed by making some changes in fstab.

I got a few Ubuntu versions on different partitions and a few 10G swap spaces on my 1TB disc. Is it possible to delete some of these swap spaces and just keep one? Will any of them do the job for all Ubuntu versions?

I'm trying to access a file and copy it to another location, but the drive name has a space. I'd like to rename that too.
I know that a % sign is sometimes used, but this didn't seem to work in terminal...

I installed last month using manual partitioning from the live cd and saw only today that I have these 2x 1MB unallocated spaces as shown in the screenshot. A notebook where I used the same manual partitioning method also has this. Any ideas ? I certainly don't want to reinstall as all is fine on both machines.

I have just switched to banshee as my media player and imported my films and music. Problem is, the video list is quite hard to read because all the video files have spaces in their names which are replaced by % signs, numbers and letters. I'm wondering if there is a command I can use in the directory that will automatically remove all the spaces from the filenames or better still, replace the spaces with hyphens or underscores?

I don't know how to fix this command:
Code:
sudo chmod 700 *
when in the folder some files have the space character in the name. I have this error (sorry, italian version):
Code:
chmod: opzione non valida -- " "
translated is 'invalid option'. I have to chmod any single file with "", but it takes too much time...

I want to ask a question regarding the terminal in ubuntu. When i deleted some lines in the config files for example, there will be those so-called extra spaces left after deleting and i can't seem to delete those spaces and 'pull' up the lines below. So, how to delete those extra spaces?

I'm trying to use a tilde '~' for a filename. This works fine normally Code: rm ~/File
But when I have a file with a space in in and enclose it in quotes it takes it literally.If a word begins with an unquoted tilde character (�~�), all of the characters up to the first unquoted slash (or all characters, if there is no unquoted slash) are considered a tilde-prefix.

I write sources in VIM and i use the following settings:
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
And I have got some questions. 1:Is there any way I could do, so when I press backspace to delete an entire tab instead of individual spaces ? 2:Is there anything to do to delete a tab if I insert a closed curly bracket.
Code:
int main (void) {
} // <- and this one gets perfectly aligned

(It just quietly fails so I'm left wondering like in Windoze "is it hanging?") On the taskbar, next to my computer icon I inserted a drawer. I was hoping to put in my Favorite Applications (wine apps don't seem to get inputed to opensuse's recent list.
What I've tried is: (all to no avail, also note: I've been inputing this in Add To Drawer- Custom Application Launcher.) Also, note the directory location is valid as well, it's how I did it in my windoze installation.
Code:
"wine c: Program FilesWoWWow.exe"
wine "c: Program FilesWoWWow.exe"
wine c:\ Program Files\WoW\Wow.exe
wine c: Program FilesWoWWow.exe

I have been trying to code a program in C++ that must check for the correct syntax in order to operate. It must find ", " within the string, but I don't know why the compiler won't recognizes spaces.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
[Code]....
So the user must input "<name>, <interest>" with the ", " (comma and space) but even if you respect the syntax the compiler will skip to the else condition. I don't know why, but if I put any other condition like ",s" it will work, but not with spaces.

I have a file of the type:
a = b
where a is any string and b is an integer The 'a' string doesn't have any spaces in it.
Everything was running fine till I was searching for 'a' and finding value 'b' by expression
Code:
string="$a"
egrep -i -m1 "^[[:space:]]$string[[:space:]]*=" | awk -F'=' 'gsub(/^[[:space:]]+/,"",$2)gsub(/[[:space:]]+$/,"",$2){print $2}'
I recently ran into a situation where in the string 'a' had symbols like $, & in it. Though I haven't checked it for & but $ is definitely breaking my code
Any way to egrep for string with $ ??
One way I though was to replace every occurence of $ with $ in my search expression but that would involve an extra processing each time
