Ubuntu :: Mutiple Copies Of Media Folders Appearing?
Oct 16, 2010
I am trying to get my network music player (Logitech Squeezebox) to connect consistently with Ubuntu. Most of my music (FLAC files) is on a separate NTFS hard drive as I am dual booting with XP.I have edited the Fstab file somewhat based on suggestions on the forum but I can not seem to consistently connect to the Squeezebox with my music files (FLAC). What appears to happen is I set up my mount point in the media folder as Music and configure this with my Squeezebox which scans the Hard drive and finds all my music. The player works and it all seems fine even after a reboot but after a couple of reboots I get an error message when booting that says "The disk drive for media/Music/Flac is not ready yet or not present".
When I go to the media folder it appears that the Music folder is duplicated with a folder called Music_ and after a resetting the Squeezebox scanner to the new Music_ folder the process starts over again and I eventually end up with another folder called Music__ and so on.My question is 1) can I delete these Music folders without erasing all my Music library , and 2) how do I correct this situationHere is the Fstab file:# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc/procprocnodev,noexec,nosuid00

I recently had a Windows Vista laptop crash and burn because of some damage done to all the lovely files Windows cannot boot without. Since my computer cannot boot from USB normally I used PloP Bootmanager to get it to boot from a live Ubuntu image on a USB stick.Before I install Ubuntu, I want to recover some of my files sitting on the disk, and the partitions seem to mount in the GUI- I can see them, I can click mount or unmount and it responds. The trouble is that while I can see all of the folders on the Windows partition: Program Files, Documents and Settings, etc. I can't see any of the actual files. The disk itself is reported to have data on it- even Ubuntu recognizes it's almost full, but every folder has 0 files with the exception of /media/[A particular character string] which has three boot-related files. This is true whether I use bash as root or not. I've tried mounting to a different point and remounting via the terminal using ntfs-3g and editing the fstab file to recognize the parition with full permissions, but nothing seems to work.

I am networking from Ubuntu to Win 7. On Windows I have C:Users shared. In this directory I see two folders (or users, if you like): "Public" and "userr_" On UBUNTU when I go to Network > SERVER > Users I do not see either of the two folders that I see on Windows. I see a different one named "Default". I can access my optical drive on my windows machine fine via UBUNTU, it is just not behaving properly for this shared folder named "Users"

I am trying to figure out how to get all my pictures in my folders to have a thumbnail I have gone under view-adjust view properties and selected "show preview" option and than selected all folders at the bottom of the screen. I also went back under the view menu and made sure that the preview box was checked. Only maybe less than half of my pictures are able to be previewed is this a common problem.

I have an intermittent issue with with Samba. I can access my samba share with windows xp and vista using windows networking and even by mapping the share to a drive. The problem is that the files and folders disappear inadvertently and I can only access them again if I open the share again from the start with windows explorer. Selinux is disabled and the firewall ports for samba are open. The following software is installed:
samba 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4
samba-client 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4
samba-common 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4

I just started using ubuntu and I have a question, is it possbile to install applications on the /media/ folders. That would be the other partitions of my hard drive, and still integrate it with the ubuntu, make it appear on the menu etc.I feel like my linux partition is running out, since I've only put few gb on it and my dvd rom is dead so I can't use gparted to edit the partition.

I accidentally deleted configurations including GPodder's. Now I want GPodder to scan for thousands of media before redownloading them. I cannot find that. It shows them as undownloaded. Is there a way to tell it do that?

I have a Nook. When I plug it into the USB port on my system, a window pops up asking what I want to do with the new device. I can open it and access media/nook and move files into and out of the directory.
There's a button to "Safely dismount Nook" before I unplug it. I use that. Apparently, however, sometimes it doesn't respond. Now I have .hal-mtab-lock in my /media folder, along with Nook Main Memory and Nook Main Memory (1) folders. I can't delete any of them.
How do I a) delete these folders, and b) make sure it actually unmounts the device in the future?

I have to transport a lot of files from one pc to another (both Linux). I would like to use scp for that, but scp only allows for transferring one file at a time. How can I do this?
I have No possibility to use rsync or any other protocol No possibility to use passphrase free certificates (but have a certificate with a passphrase) A list of files to transfer and a list with the destination path of the files on the other server The files are spread out over a lot of directories, and not all the files in the directories I want to copy If possible I would like to gzip and ungzip transparently to save bandwidth!

I am experimenting with LUKS+dm_crypt. My setup is something like this: a LVM VG made of multiple Physical Volumes (PV). That VG contains multiple LV (Logical Volumes), most of them encrypted via LUKS+dm_crypt (via cryptsetup).Editing "/etc/crypttab", the system will requiere a passphrase for each encrypted LV. But since all my encrypted LVs share the same passphrase, I would like to be prompted only ONCE, instead of twelve times (I have 12 encrypted LV).
I have thought about writing a script to include in initrd that ask for the password once, store the result somewhere volatile (ramdisk?), and provide that password for the rest of "/etc/crypttab" entries.But this seems complex and fragile.I wonder if there is something I am missing, or some other easier way.

Let's say you want to copy some files from one drive (ext3 over USB) to another (ext4 in local box). You have a few terabytes over a couple million files.You could just use Nautilus, which is what I did. It seemed to have completed normally (after a few days).I wanted to verify that everything copied accurately, but I'm not sure the best way to do this. If I used md5sum, the verification would take all week, so that won't do. I used "du -bs *" and compared the sizes of the folders at the root of the drives. Most of the folder sizes were off somewhat - less than 1MB in any case. For each folder whose size was different, the difference was a multiple of 4096 bytes. This makes me suspect that the information du is giving me isn't precisely the information I assume it's giving me.
Baobab gave me different sizes from what du gave me, and it also gave significantly different sizes between my source and destination drives.I wanted to do a "diff -r source destination", but I don't even have a guess as to how long that would take so I gave up after a couple hours. It wouldn't tell me everything I want to know, anyway (if files are missing vs if files did not copy correctly).
So the help I need is:
1.) Is there a quick way to reassure me that everything copied correctly?
2.) Is there a better way to do such marathon copies? (faster and more reliable?)

Whenever I start my netbook up lately, it shows that I have three copies of Ubuntu (at least there are three text copies.) Only the third one works, because whenever I load the first two, it does not get any farther than a command prompt-like text screen that says something like "Kernel Panic." I know that that is about the equivalent to Windows' "blue screen of death," and I would like to know how to get rid of the first two.
I do not know if this is exactly related, but it all started when I tried to do an update, and apparently Compiz is an unauthorized program (which is silly, since I got it from the Software Center. Now, in the third Ubuntu option, the Compiz is non-existant (I used to have multiple desktop areas where I could do work, and have gotten quite used to having many windows open at once, but now, even the icon that I used to use to switch between them isn't there.

I am trying to copy the files from my WHS disk to my Ubuntu Server disk. I have the windows disk mounted at /media/WINDOWS and I want to transfer to /storage so I ran;Code:sudo cp -r /media/WINDOWS /storageIt takes about 4-5 seconds and is complete, but there is about 500 GB worth of data there so I know it didn't really copy everything over. When I look at the files in console it shows them, but when I look at the /storage through SAMBA on my Windows machine, it only shows the directories.?

I deleted Windows from my Notebook and am only rockin Ubuntu on this machine. On the (previously) shared Data Partition, there are dozens of GBs occupied by the Volume Shadow Copy Service backups (which I used with Windows) but now how do I get rid of these?In Windows you could either turn off VSS/Restore under System Protection or alternatively use the Disk Cleanup Utility. How do I do this with Ubuntu?

I recently inherited a server that I'm now looking after, and when browsing the running processes I came across a number of processes labelled:"/usr/local/apache-2.2.6/bin/.libs/lt-httpd -k start"
At any one time there are between 10 and 15 of them running.Googling the issue has been surprisingly unhelpful... can anybody even tell me what this process is, much less what sort of issue might result in multiple running copies? I'm running Debian Etch (release 4.0).

I was trying to change the mounting point of a usb external drive from '/media/disk' to '/media/Movies'
Here is were the stupid part takes over... I right clicked on the desktop icon for the device and selected Properties. From there I selected the Volume tab and in there I changed the mounting point to '/media/Movies' It accepted it and said the changed would take place when I unmounted it and remounted it. However, when I did this it now says it cannot be mounted as it says mount_point contains invalid characters usually /
Unfortunately, now I cannot get back into the properties to remove my error.

rsync -r -v -e ssh root@nn.nn.nn.nn:/usr/local/websites/* /usr/local/websites and each time I run it it copies everything - all files. I thought rsync was only supposed to copy files that had been added or modified.

I made a Bash script that is fired by a Cron job every morning. It dumps an SVN backup on some Samba shared drive. I would like to know how I can make sure the job worked correctly without having to verify the shared drive every morning. Right now, I take the job's output, save it to a log file and send this file by email. But the ouput isn't so great.

If I initiate a file copy of more than a couple of GiB, the PC goes into a dramatic slowdown. Even selecting a different subdirectory through Nautilus can take 30+ seconds.Now, whilst I appreciate that file copying puts a load on the bus, DMA and, to a certain extent, the CPU, it seems unconscionable that it makes the PC effectively unusable until the copy has completed.Is there any way to (practically) lower the priority, or similar, of the copy process so that one can continue to use the platform during large file copies? Right now, I end up using a laptop adjacent to the PC whenever I have to copy a large file. This, for a mainstream operating system is, frankly, ludicrous.I'm aware that I could run Nautilus 'nicely' but I don't want to make changes which would compromise other aspects of the system. It would also be pleasant, for a change, not to have to read a couple of telephone directories of technical documentation in order to resolve the problem myself. This must be a general problem and, in my view, something which seriously compromises the usefulness of Ubuntu given the sizes of contemporary drives and files.
The i7 I'm using at the moment has 8 cores non of which go over 15% usage while the copy is progressing despite the OS being effectively frozen for long periods.Environment:Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz; 16GB RAM; Natty (11.04) fully updated as at 29th July 2011; Kernel 2.6.38-10-generic, GNOME 2.32.1.; Primary drive has 563.9GiB free space, Running in Ubuntu 'Classic' (no effects) mode
