I've tried "rename" off the right context menu in XFE (ver. 1.32.1)
I've tried Krename.
I've tried quoting;
$ mv ' Outlander - 2009.avi' 'Outlander - 2009.avi'
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried escaping;
$ mv Outlander - 2009.avi Outlander - 2009.avi
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried forgetting about it & hoping it will go away...
GNU bash, version 4.1.0
Debian Squeeze with 2.6.32-trunk-686
I have this script:
Quote:
for f in d*; do mv "$f" "T${f#d}"; done
it outputs all files which strats with letter d to T but it doesn't work when i run it from Cron. It only affect root file / .
How i can make work like this:
/home/user/files/dfile.txt
=>
/home/user/files/Tfile.txt
Getting together a script that will add numbers to all the files in a folder.
I've ripped most of my CDs to oggs for my new pmp, but I found that the pmp doesn't like files that are numbered just as 1 and 2, as it thinks that the 2 is more than 10.
So instead of going through all of my music folders and renaming every file by hand from 1 to 01 and from 2 to 02, I'd ask if there's a script that can be executed to add these numbers for me. It'd be even better if it only added the number to the files with only one digit.
Here's an example:
I want to rename:
And I'd like to do it to all single-digit files lower than 10 in the folder, if possible. If not, I can isolate them by hand.
I want to add suffix or prefix in all files (.txt , .avi . , .exe)from a folder

I am running Linux and I have some basic console knowledge but my current problem is quite difficult and I dont know how to achieve this. I want/need to rename everything within a folder that matches a given string.
By everything I mean:
folders/files
content within a file
content in hidden files
Basically I want to refactor a Java-project. Sure, I could use Eclipse to handle the replacing, but this leaves out the folders or resources outside of my workspace. I was thinking of a script that could do the job for me but this seems rather tricky. For instance when it comes to folder-/file-rename I want to replace only the part of the name that matches my string, the rest should remain untouched.
I have a feeling that there is no answer to this issue but I'll try.I have an rsync server running. If I rename a folder, rsync will re-transfer all the files under that folder. Does anyone know if there's any automated way around this ?

I can not guarantee this, but I am almost certain I did successfully convert the folder names from Portuguese to English on a previous install when I decided to change the language. So, I suppose this is possible.
I have a large collection of music albums sorted in folders which are named like this: "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" (%{artist} - %{year} - %{album}). I want to rename them so as to be indicative of the bitrate, for example, "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" => "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party (@320)". It will be hard to do this manually. I tried to use EasyTag and Kid3 to do this, but they cannot add bitrate to tags.

Is there an equivalent rename-by-EXIF information batch command in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid? For example, change (based solely on EXIF information): FROM:DSC_0001.JPG TO:20110224_09:34:56am.JPG
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have ubuntu install on a 500 gb drive. It says i have 409 gb free. I've been able to account for 40 gb, but when I try to check the folder proc, it lists 128 tb. How much space is this folder actually taking up?

Can I install the applications under some different path? without using apt-get?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWas installing wine 1.2.2 on ubuntu 10.10 my home folder had 60GB of free space before the installation started I chose to install manually. I installed all the dependencies manually from terminal. Then compiled wine 1.2.2 from the source code using ./configue make While running the 'make' process my 60GB home folder ran out of disk space. The make process was non ending. Ultimately it got aborted due to lack of space. Can't retrieve disk space that was lost since then. Tried with terminal commands like
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
Even tried to get into the wine source folder from terminal and use 'make uninstall' Nothing works and I now have only 50Mb of disk space on my home folder
How would I rename all files with a leading decimal point recursivley? I some how got all my music files to have a decimal point.I tried the below and got a " sed argument to long".[CODE]find /media/MUSIC -type f -name "*.wma" | xargs -0 sed -i 's/.(.*)/1/'[CODE]
Another question, can i just use -type f with out -name ? I am sure that all the files got the decimal point added as the first character.
I am running du -h --max-depth=1 and it is hanging, presumably processing a large folder.
Could you give me a list of the large folders in the Redhat OS?
Is there any way to check if du has failed or is hanging/processing a folder?
How long should du -h --max-depth=1 take on 40GB of data?
Solved, it was taking a long time on a 29gb /var/log folder
Below you'll see that my home server is currently maxed with something hidden.I noticed that my machine was maxed so i ran a du on / to see where the issue was happening. I freed up 6gbs so far and ~ciaranw keeps eating up any free disk space. But when i look to see what in the folder could be doing this, i get nothing back that accounts for the currently 19gbs thereI've been a long time user of forums but never found the need to actually post seeing as my problem was usually covered, this problem has stumped my googling prowess

Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?

I am developing a I2C CDROM client driver. The CDROM firmware supports TOC information read through a I2C command. It sends the TOC information in burst ( Interrupts a GPIO pin when it is ready ) and my CPU does a I2C read to read the TOC. When the CDROM firmware finishes sending the last data burst , it informs my CPU that it is done with the TOC, by a flag in the last data burst. I would like to know, which is the most efficinet way I can send these TOC information to userspace?
