Ubuntu :: Way To 'hide' All 'folder Widgets' From Desktop With Mouse Action
Feb 12, 2011is there a way to 'hide' all 'folder widgets' from the desktop with a mouse (or keyboard) action? I mean hide as in 'make invisible', not as in 'close forever'I'm trying to mimic this Window's app: URL..., which is nothing more than a 'folder widget' for windows. The only thing that this app has that I can not reproduce in KDE is the ability to hide all 'folder widgets' with a mouse action (Fences does it with a double click on the desktop).

General :: Copy Folder Hierarchy / Recreate All Folders From One Directory Without Copying Over Contents Of Folder?
Jul 2, 2010Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.
Ubuntu :: Hide Folders Or Files Without Adding Period "." To Rename File Or Folder
Jun 18, 2011I am trying to hide some folders in Ubuntu Linux which are always hidden in Windows through File/Folder Attributes (attrib -h)
It is not an option for me to rename the folder from let's say "Ancient texts directory" to ".Ancient Texts Directory" because the programs associated with these files and shortcuts will not work in Windows. I would like to make the folder hidden by not renaming the folder. Is that so hard to ask?
Is there really no other way of making a folder or a file hidden in Linux just like in Windows by Applying Attributes? I Don't want to rename it by putting a dot in front of it. Moreover renaming a file by putting a dot in front of the name changes the position the folder appears in the list view. For some people this may be ridiculous, but for me with a few hundred files and folders and subfolders, this organisation is important, aside from the aforementioned reasons.
I need to maintain compatibility between the two operating systems' basic folder structure as i must use both Operating systems.
General :: Why Does "ls -a" Hide Some Existing Directory From The Root User
Sep 2, 2010Today I found something really interesting (at least to me) on one of our test servers:
I can change into an existing directory from my actual working directory using a relative path, but that very same directory is not listed when using ls -a.
Here is the shell session (as root):
$ pwd
/you/are/here
$ ls -a
. .. <-- Note: "somedir" is not shown to root
$ echo $CDPATH
[Code]....
I had checked the automount thing mentioned by Gilles, but as I had changed to somewhere and issued a mount|grep somewhere there were no output.
Here is the lsattr and strace output as suggested: [URL]
Ubuntu :: Unzipped The Folder And Then Changed Directory To The Unzipped Folder?

Jul 30, 2011I need to be able to run Apache again the folder in my /home directory. I added the following line to the end of my apache2.conf file:
Code:
Include /etc/apache2/aliases.conf
Then created the aliases.conf file with:

Alias /home/ "/home/"
<Directory "/home/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny

The system tries to process the alias, but always get a 403 permissions denied error. How do I get around this? I already tried:

chown myuser:users /home -R
chmod 775 /home -R
AThink it is an Apache setting I need to read in this directory.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Easiest Way To Find Files In Folder / Directory?
Oct 10, 2010With Windows XP, I just right clicked a folder/directory and pressed FIND then I could search for whatever file/folder name i wanted to. I could even do custom searches based on the size, modification date etc.How do you do this on Ubuntu? There doesnt seem to be a way to easily do it like this. So far i found PLACES -> SEARCH FOR FILES but that means I have to go into the directory i want. Where as I would much rather be browsing through directories and THEN want to quickly search in a particular folder. The SEARCH FOR FILES method in PLACES just wastes more time.

Jan 10, 2011I would like to know how to move all the files from a single folder and its subfolders to a single, different location in as few steps as possible. For example when I download files from one of my school's websites, the file I want is located in a deep sub-directory. So, I have to cd many times just to get to the file I want. Is there a way to recursively move all the files within a folder's subdirectories into a new location?

Ubuntu :: Create Shortcut To Media Folder In Home Directory?
Dec 14, 2010I currently have an ASUS eebox which is running XBMC Live which includes a stripped down version of Ubuntu. The computer will be used by various people within a teaching environment and I have successfully installed launchers for Openoffice which can be opened within XBMC.
I am trying to the make the experience for the end user as simple as possible as the vast majority will have never used Linux before. I want to get to a point where they can open Openoffice, plug in their USB stick and navigate quickly to their files. At the moment when the program is launched and I try and navigate for a file it automatically starts in the Home Folder of xbmc. So I have navigate up a couple of times, then find the /media directory where the USB stick has been mounted and so on. What I was hoping to do is create a shortcut within the Home Directory which takes you straight to the Media folder where usb is mounted.
I have already attempted and created a folder within the Home directory and called it usbpen.
I have then added the following line into fstab /media /home/xbmc/usbpen none bind 0 0
Now when I reboot the machine and navigate to the home/xbmc/usbpen folder I can see the Drive name of the USB device mounted in /media but I cannot navigate through any of the files, I am greeted with a read error message. So the shortcut is only allowing me to see the device name only.
be aware that due to running XBMC Live I do not have a Windows manager installed and therefore everything must be done through the terminal.
