Ubuntu :: Missing Folder - Seems To Have Vanished ?
Mar 14, 2010
I have been experimenting with Ubuntu and created a folder a couple of days ago, and messed around with the permissions so that only 2 of us had access to the folder. Must point out that i am a newbie to Linux... so in all likelihood, I screwed it up. Today when i went to search for the folder, it seems to have vanished i tried searching for it, but came up with nothing, i even searched for some of the documents that i have in that folder, and also came up with nothing.

i'm using Maverick 10.10 and have noticed my Documents folder that should be in the above --Places link has just vanished today. No commands have been run this week. The only update i had was yesterday with new headers and kernels for x86 64.

I have been foolish and accidentally deleted the 'Boot' folder from my Vista partition and now cannot boot Windows from the GRUB launcher. I'm not sure what to do next, since I can't find the recovery DVD either.
I managed to find a site with the 'bootmgr' file available to download but couldn't find anywhere to download the contents of the 'Boot' folder. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there any software that can be run in Ubuntu (which launches perfectly well of course) which might fix this?

I have an external 2.5" eSATA drive which up till now was using via USB2.0 connection and was working perfectly. The drive is pretty new - I think less then a year and it's a Seagate too of which I think to be more reliable although still consumer based.I had connected the drive to FreeBSD 8.0 32bit on my server in ReadOnly mode using ext2fs in order to stream the information across my network.
Plugging the drive into Linux recently yielded everything performing fine, as the drive stores all the seasons of a TV show I started recognizing that things where outa whack when the linearity of the episodes stopped being sequential and previous episodes started playing when clicking an incremented episode.
The drive is formatted with the ext3 filesystem and I have already attempted to run e2fsck -p on it which showed up as the drive being 'clean'.I then attempted to use my notebooks eSATA Express card to connect the drive via the eSATA cable as I have found it to be more reliable then the USB2 / ext3 solution which I've had my fair share of problems with. However, the drives TOC or Journal maybe damaged by whatever reason so I will need to repair that.I stumbled across Magic Rescue and so far have compiled it but not used it as I wanted to be sure first if there was another way to do this.

The update package popped up with some security updates. I downloaded all of them and then hit the restart button. Now all I see after the winboot load is the grub 'dos' screen. I can get to grub rescue but thats it. I was wondering if there is a way to download the missing files from somewhere and place them in the grub folder as I am dual booting with XP.
I have installed Ubuntu onto a seperate partition as well.

My latest problem: (Ubuntu 10.04)My "pictures" folder is missing from the "Places" menu. It used to be there....I didn't do anything...but now it's gone. I liked having it there- I can access that folder through "home folder" but it was nice having it where I could get to it with just one click. How can I get it back? (There is no option to edit the places menu in the "edit menus" thingie)

The problem is that I need to use kernel headers like <linux/interrupt.h>. However, those files do not exist in folder /usr/include/linux. Thus, compilation fails. On the other hand, the files exist in folder /usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.10-105.2.4.fc11.i586/include/linux.
How can I get the missing headers into proper place in /usr/include/? I even tried coping, but extra files are then needed and so on.
I tried to use "make menuconfig", but I couldn't see a missing configuration I need.
I also tried to use " yum install kernel-devel". This tells me "Package kernel-devel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 already installed and latest version Nothing to do".

I would like to run Blender (3D modelling software) on RedHat Enterprise. I have a problem with missing libraries (libavutil50.so). Second problem is that I have no root access so I cannot install rpm package with libavutil50.so. Does anybody knows how can I manage this? Is it possible to install somehow libavutil50.so in my /home folder, that Blender will have an access to this library ?

I have just booted my Ubuntu Karmic and got to the login part and the top & bottom menus have vanished. Any thought as to how i get them back, short of doing a clean install. I had just installed startupmanager, but dont know if that caused the problem or not.

I had just gotten dual boot to work yesterday (had tried both OSs and they both worked). Then I went into Ubuntu to install apps. When I was done, I tried to load windows again and it told me there was a problem that needed to be fixed with the recovery disk. I put it in, it fixed the problem and windows started. Then I did some routine windows updates and now the MBR seems to be gone.I have to restart by holding off for 5 secs. Is there some way to restore the grub from the Ubuntu live installation disk?

My father saved a document in openoffice.org on our Ubuntu computer, but it seems to have vanished. There is no icon in Documents (where he said he saved it) other than a zip file which doesn't have it in it. The only place I can seem to try to open it from is in OpenOffice itself under "Recent Documents", but when i click on it, it says "filename.odt does not exist", and i cannot right-click to open it with another word processor. I don't have backups enabled I noticed in OpenOffice's settings, but surely the document is somewhere! I checked in the trash but it's not in there. It's very important and he spent hours and hours on it, it would be terrible to try to write it again. I am very unfamiliar with the Ubuntu operating system as I myself have Windows 7,

[URL]... Screenshot above kinda explains what's happened, I have no window title bars so cannot move windows, or close them without going down to the bar at the bottom and right clicking which is very very inconvenient. I was playing with options in CompizConfig, which is what I think caused the problem, but I can't find a way to reset it to defaults at all so I'm kinda stuck with it.

Running solo Ubuntu 9.1 on current AMD-965/MSI_gd70 desktop. Recently I upgraded hardware ( new ram/2nd hdd/temp-probe ) on this kit. All function appeared nominal and all hardware appeared in BIOS. After adding a new line in /etc/fstab to conjure-up my new 650-G sata I rebooted. I can access **nothing** on my system .except FireFox and THAT because I have a FF_icon on my desktop. The system boots, and std Gnome GUI appears, but excepting *LOGIN* none of the tool-bars have any function whatsoever.I cannot reach the command-line.

I turned on my computer today and logged in only to find discover that both toolbars on the top and bottom of my screen have disappeared.This is problematic as it has become impossible for me to connect to the internet without the wireless toolbar at the top of the screen, and as well I no longer have the ability to select different windows without alt+tabbing. I didn't modify my system in any way to the best of my knowledge, nor was I messing around with my desktop config. Luckily I can still access my applications (including the Terminal) by right clicking, but it's still a less than ideal setup.

I tried to find a solution on the forum after my Desktop folders, files, everything vanished. What I've got now is "Standard Icons", Home, Pics, Videos, etc.
I tried to locate files via SEARCH on FILE SYSTEM and I couldn't find any. I tried to reset Nautilus and nothing happens. I have a different profile in this Laptop and that profile is UNCHANGED, but mine is screwed.
I'm getting a bit desperate because I have an exam tomorrow and I NEED to access those files.
I Use Ubuntu 9.10, Desktop edition.
IF I TYPE NAUTILUS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE COMES ON TERMINAL

An elderly friend has a system running Xubuntu 10.04. It was fine the last time she shut down, but when I restarted it yesterday, the panels were missing on her desktop. I'm not very familiar with Xubuntu, but I looked under XFCE System Settings (or something similar) and found a "Panels" option; however, clicking on this does not open the panels dialogue.
There is a second user account on the machine. The panels on that are unaffected and I can open the panels dialogue from the XFCE System Settings.
restoring the panels for the main user account.

I'm attempting to install Suse 11.3 on a recently acquired laptop. For some reason, realcrypt no longer appears to be available in any repository. A package search fails. A search on rpm.pbone.net shows a few rpms on a server that no longer exists.This is a crucial application. I have a number of realcrypt encrypted volumes that contain important data. Can someone tell me how I can get this application back, or point to a compatible replacement?

I'm using slackware 12.1 for some time now and this morning (kind of the first day of my winter break) I decided to fix an old USB pen drive to save some docs... (bad idea #1). I had some trouble deleting some files. Slack kept telling me that the files weren't there, so (probably not the smartest decision ever) I decided to "format" the tiny thing. (bad idea #2). Cfdisk wouldn't do it and I ended up on fdisk. (bad idea #3). I thought I was formatting 4 partitions in the same pen drive which now I think might have been my four usb ports. After that, no USB Ports are working at my computer at all. I even boot slackware 13.1 from a dvd and still couldn't get any USB working. Rc.hotplug is nowhere to be found.
At the end of dmesg, I get:
usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-7: device not accepting address 4, error -32 .....
usb 1-3: device not accepting address 21, error -32
I didn't mess with this kernel and everything was just great 4 hours ago.

I tried to build a HP DL380 today, and the drive wasn't detected. Suspecting hardware issues, I tried it on a 360, same issue. We built these machines before with no problems I used the 8.10 install on our PXE server, and it worked fine. I suspect it's related to the upcoming 8.04.4 release, perhaps a new kernel has been inserted and has missed the cciss driver? Booting using 8.04, and running find /|grep cciss, doesn't find anything. I can't remember the last hp 8.04 build I did, but it was in the last month or so. Doing it with 8.10 finds the driver. (this is the 32 bit install)
