Dec 19, 2010I bought a new 2.5 inch SATA laptop hard drive and mounted it in an external enclosure for use as an external backup drive. I had a whale of a time getting it formatted (ref post), but finally did by putting the bare drive into a laptop and used Ubuntu to partition and format as part of installing. Then I remounted the bare drive back into the enclosure and sure enough now I can now see the drive.
So now I want to erase the files from the backup drive. Problem is, Ubuntu won't let me delete or add any files. In Nautlis, if I select the files and "right click", Move to Trash is grayed out. If I press the delete button, nothing happens. If I try to copy a new file to the backup drive it says "permission denied". If I go into the Properties .> Permissions for the drive everything is grayed out so I can't change the permission. It also says "You are not the owner so you cannot change permissions".
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Zune Won't Work - Can't Copy / Erase The Files?
Aug 22, 2010There are many Zune threads - all stating that zune won't work with ubuntu - so I get that. But I am curious... Why can I mount the zune player and see the files on the zune - and then when I try to add to the zune or remove them get an error message. Ubuntu can see what is on the Zune, so why can't it copy/erase the files?

Ubuntu :: Completely Deleting Files & Virtualbox OSX
Feb 27, 2010It turns out I caught the Linux bug. I'm now completely obsessed with it. Most of the time if I can't get something to work I do a quick web search, and I find the solution to my problem in the first link or three. This is the exception. I wanted to install XP or 2000 using Virtualbox OSE just in case I needed to look up something on Windows or print something off (can't find any drivers for my Lexmark printer). I tried XP first and it gave me an error. Then I tried 2000. At this point I went to delete the program and try again. The first thing I tried was sudo apt-get remove virtualbox. Then when I re-installed it, I still had my settings and partitions on there. I then went to the add/remove programs. Same thing after the third install. I then went to the Synaptic Package Manager and clicked completely delete files (or however it was worded). After the install it still did the same thing as the previous times. When I try and load Virtualbox it says "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.". Also sometimes my pointer will get locked inside Windows. How do I get out of that? The only thing I was able to find was hit CTRL + ALT + Back and it exits both Windows and Linux.

Mar 17, 2010I am connecting to a Windows 2003 server share from my Ubuntu 9.10 machine. This is not a problem & deleting normal files is fine. What I am actually trying to do is remove a virus from this server. If I have AV software running on the server it is constantly picking up the virus & eventually this kills the server. The AV software is unable to remove the virus on the server, but is able to on desktop machines.Anyway, I thought use Linux to do the job & get the AV software back on the server. No go. I get a permission denied error when trying to remove the files with rm -f "filename"Is there anyway around this? I am reluctant to start the server with the Ubuntu live CD as it is in use as a file server. If I could remove the files manually this would be good.

Software :: Deleting Delay From Mp3 Files?
Mar 26, 2010I have a large collection of CDs that I ripped to mp3 a few years back. I would like to go sell them to a store and get some money for them (I haven't used the physical CDs in years). The deal is that when I started ripping the CDs, the program I was using would insert a 2 second delay between songs. I would like to know if there is a program/command that I can use to remove this delay between songs. Some of them have 0 delay, so songs that fade into each other sound correct. Other albums have songs that are supposed to seamlessly fade into each other, but they don't because of this delay. Is there any way to remove that delay between songs or do I have to re-rip the CD? Figuring out which albums have that problem and re-ripping the CD is going to take a very, very long time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Deleting Individual Files From Disk Image?
Mar 23, 2010Recently, I made a disk image of my external hard drive (as it had recently failed). I have yet to get it replaced, so I have a .dd file sitting on my computer. Now, I can mount the .dd file so I can access the files, but I cannot delete any of them. I want to be able to copy the files file by file to my normal folders and delete them from the backup file, as my disk isn't large enough for me to copy them all to the folders and just delete the entire file.
TL;DR = Can I/How do I delete individual files from a .dd backup.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Deleting Files That Meet Certain Criteria?
Jun 21, 2011I'm here of course because I would like to know what would be the SSH command to issue if I need to delete certain files that meet certain criteria. For instance, in this case, I simply have files that almost bear the same name but still have some very minor differences.
Let me give you an example:
L0619000.log
L0619001.log
L0619002.log
L0619003.log
L0619004.log
Those in bold are those I'd like to have removed, while the "L0619004.log" is obviously to be left intact.

View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Missing Log Entries - Script Deleting The Previous Log Files
Sep 20, 2010I am using UBUNTU Karmic Koala 9 .10 . Recently I have noticed certain errors with my LOG Files. My Log files are just logging the events for that particular day.All the logs of the previous days are lost. It happens to almost all categories of log.Every log just shows one particular days log. I have not done any changes to any settings on this machine as Ubuntu on my laptop is very stable and totally hiccup free. Previously, the log file viewer used to show logged information from over a week or so.but..now every other days log files just vanishes. I am just concerned
1)Is it because of any rogue script that is deleting the previous log files.
2)Has my machine is getting compromised in anyway as I am using it extensively for Internet.[ I have the normal Firewall enabled already] With regard to this I have a few questions
1)Is it Ubuntu's default behavior?Does it back up the old log files everyday?
2)If it is not the way Ubuntu treats Log files.How can I correct this?
3)Does apt-get clean or apt-get autoclean delete log files?
I have searched Google for past 3 days for a possible solution to this problem without yielding much result.
Ubuntu :: Deleting Files / Trash Empty / Disk Still Full
Sep 27, 2010I've been getting this error message:"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."a few times, and it turns out to be because of low disk space. No worry, I empty the trash uninstall unneeded programs and clean out the downloads folder that filled up my disk. And all is ok. But not this time.Since I can't use X, I delete stuff from the terminal, and also make sure to clean out the .Trash in both /home and /root. But still the disk is full. I delete more stuff, but it doesn't even seem to go to .Trash. It disappears, but no more disk space.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: Finder Freezes When Deleting Files Across OS X Network?
Apr 16, 2011I have my MacBook 5,2 hooked up to an Ubuntu 10.10 'server' via ethernet.
I've installed netatalk and avahi-daemon on the server. I've disallowed Spotlight (OS X's search utility) from indexing the networked drives.
Everything works as it should, however, from time to time when I delete files that reside on the Ubuntu server from my MacBook, Finder (OS X's file manager) will freeze. I can kill the Finder process. I then try to restart it from the Terminal from the command line but I get the following error message printed:
Code:
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app.
The only solution I know of at present is to reboot the MacBook.
So I guess I need to know what my options are here. Is it better for me to use SMB? Or is there a config file I can alter? I have a feeling this bug may be linked to certain disallowed characters in file or pathnames as it doesn't happen all the time, although this is just a hunch.
Ubuntu Networking :: Deleting Files Off A Samba Share From A Windows Box?
May 17, 2011I'm trying to make my music directory, located on my Ubuntu box, available to all the windows clients (Windows 7, to be specific) located around the apartment. It seems to work fine, I can see and read from the shares from my windows box, but deleting files doesn't work, I just get a permission denied.I've tried being as lenient as I can in the smb.conf, as well as setting 777 on the affected files, nothing changes. I've read, from my various googling, that the octal file permissions aren't as important as the samba permissions. Okay fine, but how do I tell samba to ignore permissions and let everyone delete files? I've read that samba works with samba users, but again, I don't care about users, I just want a global share that anyone can connect to and read (and delete) files.
Here's my smb.conf file: http:[url]...As you can see, I've played around a bit with options, but I just can't seem to get anything to work.
