Ubuntu :: How To Restore File Deleted From Home Folder

Jun 25, 2011

By naming one of my folders wrong I thought I don't need it anymore and pressed delete button while holding shift. Is there any way I could get that folder back? (I'm actually looking for the file inside that folder - .conky config file to be more precise) I've tried scalpel and extundelete, but none of them worked.

Ubuntu :: Deleted Home Folder Won't Go Away / Get Rid Of It?

Jan 15, 2011

Two month ago I accidentally deleted my home folder (yes, very stupid idea but it wasn't on purpose).

I managed to recover the home folder from /home/.Trash-0/tobias by copying it back to where it belongs and changing the file ownership from "root" to my user (tobias).

After this recovery I tried to delete /home/.Trash-0/tobias but it wouldn't work. Whenever I tried, a new folder appeared in /home/.Trash-0/ (root home) named tobias.2, tobias.2.2 and so on. (see first screenshot). This means I had two copies of my home folder on my hard disk (2 x 156.1 GB at that time).

At that time I didn't care since I had enough disk space left (33.8 GB, see second screenshot) and thought Ubuntu would take care of this some time by removing the files in /home/.Trash-0/.

Fast forward to today, I get warnings of low disk space. My home folder today is around 160 GB but together with the deleted one in /.Trash-0/ I only have 1.3 GB disk space left in my home folder.

Any ideas how to delete the unused second home folder copy? Or is there some other way to free the disk space occupied by .Trash-0/ ?

(Ubuntu 10.04. LTS on vaio VPCEB1S1E btw)

Ubuntu :: How To Restore Home Folder

May 14, 2011

I followed this guide: [URL]...to customize my launcher. When I tried to add an smb share, my home folder disappeared from the launcher, as did my /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop file.I can't get my nautilus-home.desktop file working again. I have replaced it with:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Home Folder
Comment=Open your personal folder
TryExec=nautilus
Exec=nautilus --no-desktop
Icon=user-home
Terminal=false

[Code]...

but it has no effect. When I sign out of Ubuntu and sign back in, the Home Folder icon is still missing from the Unity Launcher. I realize I can open Nautilus and then right-click it and select "Keep in Launcher", but this would not enable me to add the customizations I want from the link above.

I have also tried "unity --reset" and "unity --reset-icons", but this doesn't return my default home folder to the launcher. How can I restore my original home folder to the launcher?

General :: Ubuntu - File Was Deleted And Then Reappeared When Folder Was Zipped

May 11, 2010

I am using Backtrack 4 Final, which is a Linux distro that is Ubuntu based. I had a directory that contained around 5 files. I deleted one of the files, which sent it to the trash. I then zipped the directory up (now containing 4 files), using this command:

zip -r directory.zip directory/

When I then unzipped directory.zip, the file I deleted was in there again. I couldn't believe this, so I zipped up the directory again, and the file reappeared again but this time could not be opened because the operating system said it didn't exist or something. I don't remember the exact error, and I cannot make this happen again. why a file that was deleted from a directory would reappear in that directory after it was zipped up?

Ubuntu Installation :: Restore The Home/username File To A Default State?

Jul 1, 2010

System Specs:

CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Extreme X9450
Memory: 4GB, Patriot DDR3 PC3-10666 1333Mhz
MoBo: ASUS P5E3 Delux
OpSys: Ubuntu 10.4 (64Bit)

Short Description: I wanted to see what would happen if I upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 (32bit) to Ubuntu 10.4 (64bit) by copying my home directory then restoring it after the upgrade. It almost worked sans a few interesting problems that I'm hoping might teach me a bit more about how Ubuntu works.

Detailed Description:

1. I copied my home directory to another hard disk.

2. I let the installation disk for Ubuntu 10.4 (64bit) reformat and overwrite the disk that contained Kubuntu 8.04 (32bit) and chose to maintain the partition and swap size for that disk.

3. Once I worked out some bugs in the hardware and got the OS up and running smoothly, I "merged" my home directory with the backup I had created in step one. (Merge was an option given to me when I was attempting to paste the files copied from the backup disk.)

4. It should also be noted that I was trying for a while last night to install TrueCrypt. In order to do that I had to check its "sig" file. The GUI for the gpg installation was complaining that I didn't have gtk+-2.0 installed so I installed gtk (I think it might have been 2.4 or whatever the most recent one was) from source without any errors. It got late so I gave up on attempting to install TrueCrypt any further.

The Results: This morning the computer seemed to boot faster than it had been before, but I was left without a functioning Theme manager. It will open, and I can click on all of its features, but nothing seems to do anything. For example: If I right click on the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background" Then select "Get more themes online", nothing happens. Also if I select the "theme" tab, there are only two themes listed when there used to be about 9 by default.

Questions: 1.) Is there a way to restore the files that are important for correct system operation (possibly all the files starting with a dot ".*") in my home directory to there default state like they would have been from a fresh install, but without doing a fresh install and without loosing any of the documents or archives in my home file?

2.) Is this even the correct approach or might this cause more problems? For example, if your computer had this problem would you try and restore the home directory, or would you troubleshoot each problem as it arises one at a time until everything became stable?

3.) What could I do next to continue troubleshooting the theme manager?

I'll keep researching and trying to find some links that can help while I wait for your responses. If I find anything that helps I'll post the fix here.

Ubuntu :: Unknown File Types In /home Folder?

May 13, 2011

I've recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (a bit late, I know), but have been getting repeated messages telling me that the filesystem is running low on space.

I've run apt-get autoremove and autoclean, but there is still insufficient space for me to upgrade to 11.04.

Whilst looking through the /home folders, I came across a number of 2 character titles folders in the /home/user directory. These have the extension.file. Does anyone know what they are, and can I delete them?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Access Home Folder Through File Browser?

Aug 15, 2011

I can't access any of the sub-folders or files in my home folder on Ubuntu. I've checked the folder associations, that doesn't seem to be the issue. I've also opened the mimeapps.list file and the inode/directory association seems fine - inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

I'm running Intrepid (8.10) (please don't ask me to upgrade! ) and the issue started after using Qtpfsgui 1.9.3 a couple of time to create HDR images. I guess Qtpfsgui broke an association somewhere, but where? I can access other folders, on Computer and Filesystem, but not on my home folder.

Ubuntu Networking :: Home File Server - Connect Or Map Out Folder From Another 11.04 Machine?

Jul 31, 2011

I've set up a PC installed with Ubuntu 11.04 on my home network, given it the name "server" and given it a static IP of 192.168.1.200. I've created a file in the home directory called "Public" and set it to be shared with everyone, basically a chmod 0777 situation. Now, how do I connect, or map out that folder from another ubuntu 11.04 machine? I know how to do it in Windows, just hit "run" and type in "\server" and blamo, I can see everything that's shared on that machine. I can't figure out how to do this with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Servers :: Samba - Access Folder To Delete Or Restore From The Recycle Bin Folder

Apr 24, 2010

I'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)

Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

General :: Cannot Open Places - Home Folder - Getting - Error - File Not Found

I installed ubuntu maverick a couple days ago, total newbie. After trying to install some software I no longer can access any of the Places folder and get an error - file not found.

I can open Computer, partitions and devices, just not the first 7 folders which i think are bookmarks.
Thanks for helping, U.

Ok, I eventually solved it. Appears I had inadvertently selected another program as default folder openenr. Just opening any folder with right click - open with - folder openenr reassigned nautilus and opens Places folders ok.

Ubuntu :: How To Restore Deleted Truecrypt Partition

my /dev/sdb was a truecrypt partition that was mounted when I accidentally deleted the partition in gparted (instead of sdc, stupid). I'm pretty sure I haven't overwritten anything since then, but I'm not sure how to go about recovering this one. To confound the problem, the only way I can install stuff to my ubunut machine is by downloading on a windows machine and transferring by memory stick.

Ubuntu :: Partition Table Was Deleted / Cant Restore?

Mar 2, 2010

I was working on creating a partition on a new hard drive I was planning on using for storage. I wasn't paying attention and chose to delete the partition on my master. I am running a dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu. When I rebooted It will only go to the Grub> prompt. Ive ran TestDisk and though that I had corrected the problem but it didnt. After running TestDisk again here is what It came up with.

Structure: Ok. Use Up/Down Arrow keys to select partition.
Use Left/Right Arrow keys to CHANGE partition characteristics:

After writing the table above I rebooted. Windows prompted me for my restore disk. I rebooted to the live cd again and ran Fdisk.

Ubuntu :: How To Restore Deleted Logical Volume

Jul 30, 2010

I have 3 harddisks, 1 for system and 2 for data.

To manage it more easy, I tied 2 harddisk in LVM. And I made an logical volume. It used ext4 for it's filesystem.

Today, I wanted to format and reinstall the system. So I booted the system using Ubuntu CD. But managing the partition, I accidently delete the logical volume. Because backup(/etc/lvm) was in itself, I couldn't restore the old config. I just create new logical volume.

As I expected, I couldn't mount it correctly. Mount said that "Mount: Mouting failed A on B! Invalid argument!"

I must recover it, because it has a lot of import data. What should I do?

Fedora :: Deleted Menu.lst - How To Restore

Apr 1, 2011

I have a Laptop where I installed both Fedora 11 and windows 7 dual boot.

While I was upgrading Fedora 11 to Fedora 14 using preupgrade, I tried to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make an option to continue upgrading the system after rebooting.

Accidentally, I deleted the file content and I couldn't restore it

I knew then that I'll face a problem when I reboot the system, and I faced it >> the grub selection menu disappeared , and only the line (grub> ) appeared when I reboot the system.

1- These commands:

Code:

But when I rebooted , nothing changed and the same (grub> ) appeared again.

2- I used the instructions in the PDF attached, but unfortunately nothing changed.

I think that I have to rewrite the menu.lst and grub.cnf files but I'm not expert and I don't know exactly what was there (locations , commands , etc. )

The current system monitor for the file system is shown in the next image:
