I'm trying to setup ncmpcpp correctly and I'm running into an issue with mpd not reading my directories correctly. I dual boot ubuntu/w7 on this computer, and for the sake of laziness I just keep all of my music within the default windows folder ( since half my music was there first ). Now I have a symlink within my home directory's music folder that points to this, however according to mpd it isn't a director.
View 2 RepliesMy Fedora box is giving me an SELinux security error:
Code: Summary:
SELinux is preventing the samba daemon from reading users' home directories.
Detailed Description:
SELinux has denied the samba daemon access to users' home directories. Someone
is attempting to access your home directories via your samba daemon. If you only
setup samba to share non-home directories, this probably signals an intrusion
attempt. For more information on SELinux integration with samba, look at the
samba_selinux man page. (man samba_selinux)
Allowing Access: If you want samba to share home directories you need to turn on the
samba_enable_home_dirs boolean: "setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1"
Fix Command:
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1
Additional Information:
Source Context system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0
Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0
Target Objects /home/micah [ dir ]

I don't understand the results of a simple performance test I ran using two basic scripts (running on a high end server):
perfVar.zsh :
#!/bin/zsh -f
MYVAR=`cat $1`
for i in {1..10}
[code]...
Performance test result:
> time ./perfVar.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfVar.zsh FE > /dev/null 6.86s user 0.32s system 100% cpu 7.177 total
> time ./perfCat.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfCat.zsh FE > /dev/null 0.01s user 0.10s system 91% cpu 0.118 total
I would have thought that accessing a VARIABLE was way faster than reading a FILE on the file system... Why this result ?Is there a way to optimize the perfCat.zsh script by reducing the number of accesses to the file system ?
I upgraded my system from 8.04 all the way to 9.10.Right now I'm trying to play a DVD (Pink Floyd Pulse) and Totem Player just crashes on me. I followed the medibuntu rep installation process found here:Code:http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-make-ubnutu-10-karmic-koala.htmlThe reps were updated, packages downloaded and installed, but Totem still crashes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a server set up with Samba. On the desktop side I use KDE. I can clearly track intensive smbd activity, being the first on the iotop results page. Another thing is that after reading from the server's HDD, it seems to write on the desktop's SSD. It does this intermittently.I really want to know how can I stop this. It's very annoying and I bet I don't need it since, using previous versions of Debian, I could go well without this activity.

I've been using a headless ubuntu machine for a few months now to torrent stuff and serve it up to my PS3 using MiniDLNA.
Everything was working fine until this morning when i decided the list of stuff in ~/Movies/Torrents was too long. I opened up the directory on my Mac (shared over the network using avahi and netatalk so my Mac thinks it's another Mac) and made some folders for shows in there. I moved the files into them and turned on my PS3. It was a bloodbath, only one of the new folders is seen by the PS3. It still sees folders that were created by transmission.
I changed the permissions to 777 for everything (had to to move folders around) and I also gave the new folders to my transmission user and group lest that was the problem (it wasn't).
Below is a screenshot of $ls -l ~/Movies/Torrents I have marked the ones that show up on the PS3. Only 'Lost' was made today out of the ones it sees. [url]

I have a collection of music videos of various ages, and want to consolidate the codecs into mp4 files with the following criteria:
1) Retain the same directory structure and same name, hopefully with something like "/music/Videos (Encoded)/" and "/music/Videos (Failed Encoding)/" (Note: Using UTF-8 filenames)
2) Prefer to do this all in one batch; terminal commands/ bash script = awesome
3) Keep the highest quality video without having to encode everything the same (some widescreen, some hd, some with super low resolution)
4) Retain the audio stream untouched (plus, some help on what command to do to convert it to a good format) and, hopefully, to encode with settings that allow for universal apple playback (Handbrake as a great preset for this)
'm looking for a quick command-line script or command to subdivide directories into alphabetical indexes:
/parent/aardvark/food
/parent/aardvark/etc
/parent/asteroid/help
/parent/asteroid/welcomeoverlords

I have found lots of scripts to merge them all back, but can't seem to nail down one that subdivides.
i am in need of linux help. iam at college and i need this back/restore script to pass this final part of an assessment. i require a backup script that will not only backup but also restore files to the relevent directories. e.g. users are instructed to store all wordprocessor files in a directory named wp. so i am needing to create a backup directory and 3 directories within that and some files within the 3 directories and then back them up ot restore them. l know i should/have to do this myself by been trying to get/understand info for the last few days and came up with zero.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?
I've got a few large, unsorted folders where I dump mp3s. I manage it all through rhythmbox and I've decided to separate the wheat from the chaff by paring down stuff I don't want and throwing all the desirable stuff into a big (~1,800 file) playlist file saved to my desktop.My question to you is, is there a hack that'll let me cp all the file entries in this playlist from their various original directories and into one target directory? Playlist format is:
Quote:
[playlist]
X-GNOME-Title=Biglist
NumberOfEntries=1823[code].....
I am writing a script, in that my requirement is, if all the fill types stored in one directory from that we need to separate different different directories based on the file types.
for example in a directory(anish). 5 different types files
1- directory
2- .txt files
2- .sh files
like that and my requirement is the (1- directory is moved to one new directory(dir) which we are given in the script)and (2 .txt files are moved to another new directory(test) which we are given in the script)and ( 2 .sh files are moved to another new directory(bash) which we are given in the scrip)finally the directory anish should be empty..using bash script.how it is possible !!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently set up a server in my house using Apache 2 running off Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition (no, the computer is a desktop). I tried running the website on a few computers in house and all the images and scripts seem to load fine but it is unable to read from the data.xml file through javascript. This leaves all of the web pages empty because all of the content is parsed from the xml file through javascript. I tried debugging with google chrome and after running this code to load the xml file:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// For IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}

the xmlhttp.responseXML is null and the script crashes. Could this be a permission issue? I tried setting the data.xml file to read-write permission for any user but that didn't work.

I'm running badblocks on some new disk drives just to be safe before my return period expires. I'm running the command
Code: sudo badblocks -b 4096 -p 4 -c 65536 -w -s /dev/sdb1 on an empty partition taking up the entire device. I am getting the following output:
[Code]...
1) When it gets to the "reading and comparing" phase, it seems to complete in <1s. I see other posts where people say this takes them as long as it took to write to the drive. I don't see any mention of this being quick, so I'm just afraid that badblocks is being denied read access or something.. Anyone familiar with this behaviour?
2) Obviously since it is on a sixth pass, badblocks thought that it found new bad blocks on the second pass (or later). When I check SMART, though, the drive has not re-allocated anything (despite having plenty of spares)... Doesn't this seem odd? Is there some reason why the disk would not step in upon a write fail? In fact, I thought a write fail should be transparent... Which makes me wonder if question 1 (above) is causing this...
