Ubuntu :: Indexing Video File Collection To Maintain?
Nov 27, 2010
I have a large number of video files on a couple of high capacity HDDs. The files are reasonably clearly named. I've never bothered creating a database of the files because I am inherently lazy and believe the computer should be doing this for me.
Anyways, crunch time. Had a look at the stuff in the public repositories, but they all involve too much typing, too much work. So, what are others using/ doing to maintain their "collection" indexes?

how one can use the nepomuk/strigi file indexing service. I started up dolphin, and typed the search string in the upper right corner, and clicked Search. The search result is a long list of files. The one I need is a PDF file. When I select this file, on the right hand side there is the following info: 'Is part of: 15.2 GiB Removable Media' which is clearly wrong, since this file resides in my home directory, which is on a 200 GiB partition. If I double-click this file to open in okular, I get an error message:
Code: Could not open nepomuksearch:/nepomuk_3A_2Fres_...... Reason: Please insert the removable medium "15.2 GiB Removable Media" to access this file I guess this is some old result from nepomuk's cache (in the meantime I have had to repartition my hard disk, and restore my home directory from a backup copy on an external hard drive - but this has been many months ago, so I would expect that nepomuk have had the time to recognize this)

I am running Ubuntu 10.4 [64bit] on a AMD dual core with 4gb of RAM. My Problem: I am mounting to a Windows share from my Ubuntu box and everything is working as expected however, when a file is added, deleted, or modified the Ubuntu File browser does not reflect that change until the next refresh. The Windows users with Explorer will reflect the change immediately and automatically.
Is there a way to make the Ubuntu File Browser respond like Explorer when mounting to a Windows share? I call this behavior "maintaining state".

I've been trying to find a way to take a bunch of jpeg images and while maintaining their quality (no loss at all) compile them in such a way as to make one coherent file. Maybe something like a pdf, but while maintaining quality. I've tried converting to pdf and djvu, but the quality is always reduced, but if you know of a way to preserve quality, I'll use it.An alternative is an image viewer that can look inside archives, so I just make a zip or tgz of the images and then use the image viewer to access them. I've tried a few

I am having trouble with beagle. I havent used it for a while (probably since the upgrade to karmic). I have found now that it does not provide any results for any of my files, specifically my pdf files (I am doing a PhD and it is easier to search for journal articles by the author/title than it is to find them on the file system with 100s of files all over the place, I wish I was more organised!).
Do I need to install a sepparate backend to index pdfs?
I had a look in the log files and for all my pdfs (and some others) I get something like this:
Code:
20100202 11:10:42.8736 15579 Beagle DEBUG: Delaying add of file:///home/philip/Desktop/PBR Stuff/Lee 1986.pdf until FSQ comes across it

On Windows, I used to be able to search for items on my home server quickly if it had indexing enabled by simpily typing a query in the search box when I was viewing one of its drives (i.e. samba shares).Since I moved the server to Ubuntu, I can find plenty of indexing software like tracker but I cant figure if any of them support querying them over the network. I need a fast way to search through all the files on the server with indexing without the hassle of having to VNC into it.

Will it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine. Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?
Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.

I am building an application that would need to store data in many different folders (say, 5,000,000 folders). Obviously that is a big number of folders.
My project is flexible in terms of how to outline the folders (meaning, some folders can be sub-folders of others etc).
Given the Ubuntu file system, is there a rule-of-thumb on how many sub-folders should be in a folder? how many files should be in a folder? (I am asking strictly from a performance point of view).

My situation: I have a desktop, with the following sound systems internal to it:HDA IntelSBLive! I also have a Creative Labs webcam connected via USB and another device (VR goggles) which have an audio component.My problem: a fair number of game applications use ALSA card#0 to play games, now pulse's ALSA module is at best lacking, so I don't use that for games. At this point I ahve pulse configured to always use HDA Intel for it's sink, what I would like to do is to configure it so that the SBLive! card is always ALSA card#0, regardless if the 2 USB audio-ish devices are installed. That way pulse can be running and I still get to play the games with native ALSA audio. The trick is how do I force by SBLive card to _ALWAYS_ be card#0 ?Update: there is an easy way, that I should have realized before, which allows for ALSA games to use the SBLive without having it at index 0, below is how to do it:
1) cat /proc/asound/cards
example output (mine):
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel

I know this has been asked before, but in case there are some significant changes in this area with Ubuntu/Kubuntu 11.04, I ask. Are there any good search and indexing tools available preferably something that also look at the content of files? Something along the line of Beagle. Is it still possible to install Beagle?

can I index files so whenever I do a find somethingdo find / -name libSDL-1.2.so.0It doesn't take 10 mins. I do know there are packages such as tracker but that one does indexing all the time. I would be happy to have something which can be done by hand or something which is done once in 12 hours or so.

I have 4 separate drives, all un-RAIDed.Each drive has almost the same root directories, but different contents in each folder.
For example:
/mnt/sda/TV Shows/Lost/
/mnt/sdb/TV Shows/Your_Favorite_Show/
The goal is to have a single folder that has symlinks to all the files in each of the drives. Pretty much a poor man's JBOD. Previously, I had problems with conditions like 2 drives having the same sub folder contents, but I ended up solving that with the current script I'm using now.What I'm looking for now is speed. I'm very new to Perl and the script takes about 12 minutes to complete with the current drives.
Basically, the script makes a list of all directories and files in each drive. First, it makes the directories. I didn't use any validation because if a directory already exists, it simply won't make one. However, with the files, I used a hash to only keep the unique files. Then I use the key/value pairs with ln to create every link to the files only, not directories.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
my @drives_to_sync = qw ( /mnt/sda/ /mnt/sdb/ /mnt/sdc/ /mnt/sdd/);

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel X25-M PostVille 160 Go SSD drive with ext4. How can I tell if there's something wrong ? What should/can I do to maintain its performance/health ? Should I use TRIM, is Linux recent support for TRIM reliable ?
This may look as a duplicate of this question, but I am more asking in term of good practices and learning how to use this new technology the right way...

After reading this announcement, I don't understand if Xubuntu 10.04, or others ubuntu 10.04 variants, will be also LTS. What I understand is that :
- Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) Desktop Edition is a LTS.
- Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition is a LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition is NOT a LTS
- Kubuntu 10.04 seems to be a LTS
- Xubuntu 10.04
- Mythbuntu 10.04
- Ubuntu Studio 10.04
Obviously, I can't understand how some variant could be LTS and not some others : they are all using the same repositories. So, Canonical would maintain updates for only selected packages ?Does anyone knows more about that LTS attribution ?

I'm currently on Ubuntu Server 11.04 x86_64 and have configured a logical volume that contains 2x 2TB HDD's and mounted that volume in /data. The OS is installed to the first HDD (a 500GB one). So the system has 3 HDD's in total (1x 500GB OS disk and 2x 2TB data disks).I want to do a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop on the system without losing the data in the 4TB logical volume currently mounted in /data. Is this possible and if so, how?

tab-completion indexes system folders (like /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin)! so say i'm in a folder that has two files, 'text' and 'myprog', i type in an 'm' then tab, and i get hundreds of results including 'mysql', 'mysqlconfig', and others as im sure you can imagine. is there a way to set it to default or something else that will only make it index the current folder?
i tried changing my PATH variable so i could execute programs in the current directory without './' - what i added to PATH was ':.' at the end (apparently this is not the way to do it... :S). i tried resetting PATH various times ('unset PATH', 'PATH=$whatever...') but this has not fixed the problem. using 'unset PATH', of course, removes everything from PATH, which meant that functions (like 'ls') in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin can't be found. obviously i want those to be found, but i would rather not tab through them!

I came out with this issue as I saw that my CPU was most of the time between 70 and 80 percent of usage, all by some process called tracker-extract. Maybe when tracker is committing its initial index this is admissible, but this situation repeats every time I boot my notebook and it lasts at least 3 or 4 hours, or until I tell tracker to stop indexing. I hard-reseted tracker to see if there was any corrupt indexes but with no luck, behavior was the same. BTW, this issue wasn't present with ubuntu 10.04
