Ubuntu :: Incorrect Folder Path Definitions
Feb 5, 2011
I have somehow managed to wreck the definitions /paths for my Home and Desktop. If I click on Places I now have a "Home Folder" displayed as "Open Your personal Folder", a "Desktop" displayed as "Open the contents of your Desktop in a folder" and a second "Home Folder" displays as "Open '/home/ian'"....and they all point to the same folder which is my personal user file "ian". This is kind of OK except that every file I have now gets displayed on my screen because "Desktop" has a view of these files. Is there any easy way to reset my file directory ? or do I have to backup my files and reinstall Ubuntu.

I'm trying to install Intel Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for Linux IA-32 and am getting the following error:
root@p-comp:~/Documents/fortran compiler/l_cprof_p_11.1.072_ia32# ./install.sh
Error: Incorrect path to installation script. Installation can not be started
if the path contains space symbols.
Quitting! Press "Enter" to terminate install.
I've tried after downloading fresh files from intel's site but the problem persists. The install.sh file exists in the folder. I don't understand what to do! I leave no spaces anywhere as the error message says.

I mistakenly moved the /home/user/Desktop file to another location so now when my desktop starts it used the entire contents of my /home/user/ directory (except for the hidden contents) to create icons all over my desktop.
I have restored the Desktop folder to the correct location but it ignores it now and continues to show every file under /home/user as an icon.
How do I reset it to point to the original Desktop folder?
(Using 64-bit Ubuntu)

I am trying to zip a directory but when I zip and unzip it, it contains the whole path of the variable "album". I would just like to zip the last folder in the path. Here is what I have now. I tried basename but that didn't seem to work, possible I just can't make it work right.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
album=/var/www/hfandt.com/artists/*/*

I'm the server guy which is why I don't know this, but were staging a new webserver and we use some custom perl scripts and as were moving the site over for testing, apache is blowing a perl error;Can't locate web.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/mcp/htdocs/cgi-bin/newgraph.gif line 11.,Now I can copy that file local, but there are a bunch of things, so the question is how do you globally add a folder to the perl search path

im linux newbie and im trying to build a small cluster using suse 11 and run in parallel fortran by using MPI. I ve made all the preperation (network communication, ssh, sharing using samba etc). I can access the pc's through network, either with their IP's or their hostnames.Now i have to define in one pc (master node) a path to a shared folder where all other clusters will have full access. Usually in windows we can do this by using something like \hostnamesharefolder_name. This haven't work in linuxWhen i access the folder from another pc i.e through nautilus the path is smp:/hostname/sharefolder but i can't use such a path because i think don't recognize the smp:/ . Is there any way to define universal paths where the clusters will look for them in the network

Im writing a script that extracts part of the path name:I drop a file in terminal and set the directory name of the file to x using dirname $0note: ( directory is different every time since not all files are from the same location)
ex.
x="/home/Downloads/yesterday/photo/.../image.png" /image.png
/.../ means I dont know the name of folders between but I know the path name always starts

I installed Azureus from their site. It works well. The only problem is when Azureus tries to apply updates, I get this error message:
"The folder <path-where-I-installed-Vuze> is not writable. This will prevent future software updates from being applied."
There was a link the the Vuze wiki, and the problem is that I (or is it the Azureus updater?) do not have permissions to write to that directory, or words to that effect.
How do I apply the proper permissions so that when an update from Azureus is downloaded, it is applied?
The wiki offers this solution:
Quote:
But this looks like something that I have to do manually, each time...
How do I set it up, so that the updater has the permissions and uses the proper password to do it automatically, when I restart Vuze?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10

Where are the definitions for C library functions located? It was just recently that I realized that header files don't actually define any functions, they merely include their prototypes.
For instance, stdio.h includes the following line:
Code:
This just means that the definition of printf() is located in another file. What file? Is there some kind of default shared object file that is automatically included during compilation?

I was playing with top to understand ram memory usage of every thread but i am in trouble with some basic questions:
- what difference is between 'thread' and 'process'?
- what does 'virtual image size' means, and Resident size, Shared Mem size, Code size, Data+Stack size, Swapped size? I thought that the only important field is 'Memory usage', but it is represented as a percent value...
I have googled a bit, but nothing really helped me. before opening top i thought that memory is divided in several pages by every process/thread (?) and that this occupied memory would be counted as 'used memory', and nothing else.

I need to re-write these signal handlers with my own user specific needs and rebuild the kernel. It makes my kernel producing the core file (upon crashing an application) with user specific needs like showing registers,stackdump and backtrace etc.

What I can't seem to find in the repositories is software for Dictionary Definitions and a Thesaurus - in another distro there is what is called "Online Dictionary" (which includes synonyms) and another distro there is what is called "WordNet";So, I would like to know the name(s) to look for in the repositories for software for a Dictionary / Thesaurus, where it is two different software packages or just one.I did see the "webpin" finds "WordNet", but installation of that fails.

I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.

I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?

Current script:-
prefix=user@my-server:
find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h�' | while read -d "" path ; do (
cd "$path" || exit $?
[code]....
How shall i go about changing the absolute path to relative path, so that /home/git/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git gets converted to /mirror/android/adb/ndk.git //echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git" ?? - anything for relative path?
