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.

Ubuntu :: Incorrect Path To Installation Script Error

Aug 3, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Gdm Using Incorrect Desktop Icons Folder / Correct This?

Feb 23, 2010

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)

Ubuntu :: Azureus Update - Error Message - The Folder <path-where-I-installed-Vuze> Is Not Writable

Aug 8, 2010

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

Programming :: Definitions For C Library Functions ?

Apr 24, 2010

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?

Software :: Memory Usage General Definitions On Top ?

Oct 27, 2009

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.

General :: Move A File To Some Path And Create That Path When It Doesn't Exist?

Oct 8, 2010

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.

General :: Forcing An Absolute Path Where A Relative Path Is Expected

Feb 21, 2011

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?
