Ubuntu :: How To Stop Annoying Deletion Confirmations
Jan 12, 2011
The solution given there -to edit settings via gconf-editor - worked fine.In Ubuntu.Now I wanna do the same thing in Lubuntu - the Ubuntu remix that uses LXDE instead of Gnome.I tried running gconf-editor but (duh) it's not installed because Lubuntu doesn;t use Gnome. How do I tell LXDE to quit asking for confirmation? I'd also like to have the option to just delete stuff right away, rather than it going into the trash file first.
I�m configuring my Ubuntu 11.04 installation but one of the thing that really annoys me is that beeping sound every time I press a key on the keyboard. I haveńt found a way to disable it through System Settings(Sound preferences) and pcspkr is already blacklisted in the blacklist file.
Installed 11.3 with KDE, actually it is working good with 512MB RAM. But there is not loud, but annoying noise, coming from speakers, some electronic noise. No such sound in XP. code...
Mandriva-2009.1 tries to install a package called Task-Printing-Server every time I power up my PSC-1401 All-In-One (multifunction) printer. This is very annoying & I want to stop these pop-up messages.This printer uses the hplip package (PSC_1400.ppd for printing & hpaio for scanning) & everything works fine except for those annoying pop-up messages.
Somebody, without saying anything to us, has deleted (not moved) a lot of wiki pages for laptop testing and setup guide. A lot of people were working hardly to document as best as possible each laptop computer to configure Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
Here follows a list with only a few of the lost pages:
I'm currently using rsync to backup one drive to another. However, it is not currently set up to delete files if they are deleted from the source directory. I'm looking for a way to tell it to delete a file if it was deleted form the source directory X number of days ago.
Anyway I can do this with rsync or a combo with another backup program?
Where is the Trash folder where deleted files are moved? I found no /dev/null How can I tell Ubuntu: Wipe Trash folder on exit How can I tell Ubuntu: Delete files immediately without moving them first to Trash folder?
I was fiddling with my Kubuntu installation's desktop panel and deleted my last panel on the desktop. This caused the Plasma desktop to crash, which caused me to reboot. After rebooting, I got to the login screen (which was normal and un-changed) and logged in. When I logged in, I was greeted with a black screen with two white dots in the upper right hand corner and no GUI.
Please note, I'm on a laptop and cannot connect to a wireless network from my console but I do have console access from the login screen where I can login to the Terminal.
I ve read this page and tried some methodes such as opening nautilus with"gksudo nautilus" and then checking (the now root?) trash bin.Ive got a ext4 formated truecrypt container which has a size of 400GB. After I have deleted all the files in it nautilus tells me that I now have only about 100gb free space but I cant see any files in the container anymore.
I use Ubuntu 8.04 and I deleted a few JPGs from the recycle bin. I googled looking for some methods of recovery, and discovered that the only ways to do so is through using the command line. I am a complete computer novice, and I know nothing about the command line, or how to use it. I was able to install Foremost. However, with this done, I couldn't manage to use it to recover anything from that point, partially because I only have 1 GB left on my computer space, and I can't delete anything or else it could overwrite the photos I want to recover.
This all boils down to two questions: What needs to be done to complete and utilize foremost? And lastly, and the more preferable option, can this be accomplished without the command line?

I have RHEL Machine in production server where we gets usual alerts that logs filling up spaces. We archive those logs but in case it grows maximum we delete the old ones. Any idea how can we autiomate the process.
Mouse: MS Notebook Optical 3000, with left, right buttons and a vertical scroll wheel in the middle
How do I configure or set up mouse action such that an option to delete or move to trash is also included when hitting the right mouse button? As shown below, the "standard menu" does not include this action:
Right clicking desktop > Desktop Settings > Plasma Desktop Shell
Middle button: Paste
Left button: Standard Menu (std. menu/application launcher/paste/switch windows/switch activity/switch desktop)
I generate more than 50GB of cache files on my RHEL server (and typical file size is 200kb so no of files is huge). When I try to delete these files it takes 8-10 hours. However, the bigger issue is that the system load goes to critical for these 8-10 hours. Is there anyway where I can keep the system load under control during the deletion.I tried using
I create the file mytest.txt. Since this process is using this file. if I run this code in background and simply run "rm -rf mytest.txt" than file gets delete. Here is my code
int main() { FILE *fp; fp = fopen ("mytest.txt","wb"); if (NULL == fp) {
I accidentally deleted all the files from file system in my hard drive (thankfully not my /home since it resided on a separate hdd). I did this from another system while I had connected that hdd to look at some files since my system was not booting correctly. The problem is that I deleted everything (manually while I was in nautilus) including the .Trash file. I have not formatted this drive so the partition table remains the same, nor have I written anything to it since the deletion, and, this drive is using ext4. What is the best way to restore this drive to how it was (say yesterday at 4:30PM)? (I have a lot of programs installed and I have been upgrading Ubuntu there since 9.04 to now 10.04). If I am not mistaken when data is deleted in ext4 it is simply flagged as usable space, and if that is so, is it possible to just simply unflag this data to get every file back the way it was yesterday at 4:30PM?
i m using centos 5.4 for Data Server, there i hv shared a directory to store data. i want, when ever owner of that data does delete any thing from directory, system should send me a mail with logs of that deletion action with the detail some thing like bellow
1- IP of system, from where owner did access the server and delete the data.
2- Date, Time and Name of File with Path.
These logs should be sent me by email automatically.
I create the file mytest.txt. Since this process is using this file. if I run this code in background and simply run "rm -rf mytest.txt" than file gets delete.Please help me how to save this file from other process.Here is my code
Anyone know how to get rid of the highlights (see pic) that come up in 10.04 since i installed it? They appear in different programs as well as the main menu and the taskbar at random.
I have my Media Center running Ubuntu 10.04, and it's annoying to have that "Your disk drives are being checked for errors" message every so often. And ofcourse, as Murphy's law states, it usually happens when I'm in a hurry to quickly watch something.
Ofcourse, I can press 'C' (cancel) all the time. But I guess Ubuntu set up this file check interval for a reason, right? I was wondering if it's save to change the interval so it's less often. Or is it easy to configure the check to occur at SHUTDOWN? That's when most people don't care what the computer does anymore.
Also, although it's a pretty fresh install, any Ubuntu on my machine has never ever ever ever worked flawlessly and neither does this one. More often then not, on shutdown, the computer doesn't shut down but just sits there with a black screen or with the ubuntu logo. So I just power it off. Does this scenario make it unwise to tone down on the number of file checks?
I'm trying to make start up disks of 10.04 of x86 and x64. I have downloaded the iso twice for both of them and have used multiple flash drives. I keep receiving an error that says the com32 image is bad. Anyone else have issues with this or any ideas on how to fix it so I can get a proper installation going?
I am trying to install fedora15, my devices are as follows: /dev/sda1- contains windows recovery /dev/sda2- contains windows vista /dev/sda3- free space /dev/sda4- where fedora10 is existing.
Basically I want to scrap the fedora 10 in /dev/sda4 and install fed15 on the place (ext3). During the installation process fedora asked me, Which type of installation you want? I choose 'create custom layout'.
Then in the next window that appeared I choose /dev/sda4. Then it gives me four options like Create Edit Delete Reset
I want to know what does this Delete mean. What will it do, will is erase all the older partitions within /dev/sda4 i made for fedora10 (previously I made three partitions /boot, swap, /) or will erase /dev/sda4 itself. I am scared to continue installation further.
Sometimes (quite frequently) during the normal use of my laptop (64bit Ubuntu 9.10), if I do not play songs nor anything else, I get annoying sounds, like when guitarists cable their instruments while ampli are on.Apparently this happens particularly when I open new windows or new tabs in my browser, when I shut down my pc, etc...
How do I remove that annoying drum sound from the login screen.I went to PREFERENCES -> LOGIN SCREEN, but there are no tabs or boxes for sound. Only options to determine who I want to log in.I tried GCONF-EDITOR, and drilled down to /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active and unchecked the active box, rebooted, but it still plays that stupid sound. And the box is unchecked if I check it! I've tried the solutions in the forum and nothing seems to kill that annoying sound.I'm still on 9.10 right now, since 10.04 has a nasty screen flicker problem.
For some reason, Pidgin has *always* made a crackling sound before playing the actual event sound on my linux systems. It finally bugged me enough to go tinker with the sound settings. I changed the sound method from "automatic" to "ALSA" and the crackling goes away.
When in a virtual tty, Ubuntu has an extremely annoying audible beep alert to notify the user that he is trying to do something that can't be done. Say for instance, hitting the backspace key at the command prompt. The cursor can not back up from there, so the system issues out a loud obnoxious BEEP in response. I am in a virtual tty often, and have found myself on a quest to eradicate that annoying BEEP from my system, if it is the last thing I do. After trying several modprobe, and other solutions, that did not work, I have found a solution that does.
alsamixer has a setting for 'PC Beep' that can be muted, silencing all audible system complaints from a virtual tty.
It would be a pain to do this every time, so...
amixer is a command line interface to alsamixer. By placing the following command in my .bashrc file, I have solved my problem.
I've been ripping my CDs to digital for about 10-12 years, and for about 8-10 years, all my new purchases of music have been in digital form. My favored method of organizing my stuff has been by using subdirectories code...
It seems that every music program that has the ability to manage your music collection wants to use MP3 tags to do so. I severely do not want that behavior. I would like to be able to automatically create a library based on pathnames.
Winamp cooperates with my directory structure, but Rhythmbox / Songbird / Exaile seem to be hard-coded to just read id3 tags and operate according to that.
I don't understand what is going on... If I listen music, the sounds quality is just perfect, but if I play quakelive, I start heard some annoying noises such as my headphone wire is damaged. how to remove it? Maybe something wrong with sound drivers? I use ubuntu 10.04 LTS version OS. Sound card is realtek (integrated to motherboard).
