View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I have set up a pc to act as remote storage. I connect my desktop pc to it. I have done the following:
sudo apt-get install sshfs
sudo adduser fuse
sudo mkdir /mnt/remotedir
sudo chown username /mnt/remotedir
sshfs username@remote_computer_ip:/path_on_remote_comp /mnt/remotedir
(obviously replacing the username and paths with my information)
I can connect to the remote computer however I cannot delete remote files to the recycle bin. What do I need to do in order to delete files to the recycle bin?
When I try to move a file to trash, it doesn't retain anything. I drag a file to the trash bin icon, I open the trash bin, its' empty. How do I make my trash bin retain some trash?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI mount /home on a logical partition. Files and directories that I trash from here go nicely into the recycle bin, and I can right click on it and choose "Empty Trash" with no problem. Files off of the root directory in directories that I "own" (i.e. /mydir/*) do not play as nicely. I went ahead and followed instructions from another post, namely:
Code:
sudo mkdir /.Trash
sudo chmod 1777 /.Trash
And after trashing some files from /mydir, there is indeed a subdirectory with my uid (1000) and files that I trash from /mydir are going in there. However, the recycle bin on my desktop remains empty, and the only method I have for deleting said files is by deleting them from the /.Trash/1000 folders through the command line. So my question is: Is there anyway that I can trash files from /mydir, see them appear on the desktop recycle bin, and empty the trash without the need to rm them directly through the command line? Not sure if it will help, but here is my fstab:
Code:
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=4129f389-92be-459e-8bbc-928c1440f718 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=6a30914d-04a3-4b03-85bd-2bf16a68a41a /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

I'm really into desktop customization so today while i was changing a couple of things here, i did the stupidity of changing the recycle bin icon (right click on the icon> properties> basic tab). I obviously regreted it and now i'm trying desperatly to restore it to the default icon. I'm not a total noob when it comes to customization

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I did a System Mechanics clean-up of invalid and other misc files. The files were moved to the recycle bin, but I couldn't open a file individually while it was in the recyle bin in order to double check whether or not I wanted to perminently delete it. I then selected all items and moved them to a single folder hoping to open it later to review the individual files.I don't know the folder name or what part of the computer this folder was moved to. Is there a way I can find this new folder, name unknown, that was created on 10-12-10? I'm sure it's taking up valuable space in my computer and I want to permently delete the unwanted items individually and not as a whole batch.

"Simply change the symlink so that it points to /bin/bash. To do this, open a terminal, and type the following:
sudo rm -f /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
From now on your scripts should work as their authors expected."

I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 and when I did I chose to have /home on it's own partition and have it encrypted. The more I think about it the more I regret this decision. What if I want to switch distros down the road? What if I have to boot from a live cd to back up files? Is there a way to "undo" the encrypted home folder permanently? I don't mind having it on it's own partition, it's just the encryption that makes me worry.

In other words, what is the most sensible and relatively easy way to rol-back to the previous version of that specific package without affecting anything else (dependencies aside of course).
I want to do this with a recent adobe plug in.
While trying to make a Winmodem work, I've installed drivers, done magic incantations in Terminal, etc., without keeping complete records of what I did. Is there a "clean" routine or something that will remove unused drivers, or do a system rollback, or some other way to clean up the mess?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

If anyone knows how to undo the rmmod dell_laptop command or has some insight into what I might be able to do let me know
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to become familiar with the file system. I noticed my MP3 player (USB) is not mounted automatically when I plug it into the USB cable. I searched Google to find out how to auto mount this device and it worked. However, I didn't give this enough thought to what I was doing I guess. Now if the MP3 player is not connected to the USB cable the boot process stops at the splash screen waiting for the device. The window on the screen states the following:
The disk drive for /media/sdc1/ is not ready or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip mounting or M to manual recovery.
I don't remember what I did to start this whole mess so I don't know how to undo it? Could someone please help me undo this? I would like the device to auto mount ONLY if it's plugged in if this is possible.
I suppose I have a very common problem. While working on my project, I accidentaly hit 'rm file.tex' instead of 'rm file.aux' in the terminal of my Debian and now all of my work is gone. Could you please tell me if it is possible to undo this command? If soI should add that I am just a beginner in using the Linux system and though I have found some advice on my problem on websites, I am unable to follow it on my own. In other words I desperately need somebody to guide my through that process.

When I first made the bad setting, the screen went black except for an "Out of Range" message in the middle, and wouldn't let me see anything to put it back. I ended up going to a text screen with a <Ctrl-Alt-F1>, logging in as root, and rebooting. Now, I can use all of my other user IDs (root, KDE test, "email only," etc.) just fine, but if I log in to the one with the bad res. setting, it just blacks the screen and I have to reboot again. The xorg.conf file doesn't even have any options for setting resolutions any more, so there's no way to explicitly disallow the one I set, and "deleting" (renaming) xorg.conf didn't help.
