I have recently switched to using LXDE on my PC and I am on the whole pretty pleased with it. However,PCMan is giving me a really odd problem. Some of the files/folders are being displayed in the wrong order where they contain numbers. They are being ordered by their first digit not the whole number.
[Code]...
I have tried to make my own buntu running LXDE as the desktop environment though it is running smoothly on an old laptop it has a certain problem.
I have installed PCMan File Manager as the default file manager for the LXDE and not Thunar or Dolphin, but, I have a problem with opening files from there. The default application set to open all file types is the Terminal.
What I currently do to open the file is right click and choose "Open with.." to open the file in the appropriate application. Is there a way to set the default applications?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 from minimal CD install then got LXDE and installed the following applications aside from the applications that came with LXDE:
-OpenOffice.org suite
-Mozilla Firefox
-Google Picasa
-Wine
-VLC Player
I have been using OpenSuse 11.4 LXDE version for about 6-8 months. All worked fine. I noticed a few days ago that my file manager would not start from the tool-bar menu. I went to the kick of menu to find "File Manager" under system tools and it would not start from there either. I created a new folder on the desktop and tried opening it - it would not open. I can only assume its some sort of a bug and most likely occurred because of the recent computer update (I get regular notifications to update my system so I do it).

I have a C-function that create a file and then make a copy in the same directory, but somethin is wrong with permission or owners.The program starts as root user.The file creates by the program:

Ok, but after copying the permission is not the same.The file after copying (with new name) by the program:

this command show that files that start with numbers
Code:
ll [0-9]*
how can i find those file does not start with numbers?? (files can started by every character except / (slash))
I am trying to extract 2 numbers from a same file and my goal is to print them both in another file, on the same line, separated with a space. I have to do that for 20 files and I would like to have therefore 20 lines like this in the output file. It would look like this :
Quote:
number1_file1 number2_file1
number1_file2 number2_file2
...
...
number_1_file20 number2_file20
So far, I did only extract one number and got an output file like this :
Quote:
number1_file1
number1_file2
...
...
number1_file20
And I did this by running a bash script with the following content :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ls execution$1$2*.* | while read filename
do
cat $filename | grep -e "Total aborts:" | cut -d " " -f3 >> abort$1$2.dat
done
$1 and $2 are just strings to identify the different files I want to consider in this loop. This script works well to extract a number which is the 3rd field of a line starting with "Total aborts:".Now, how could I change this script to do what I mentioned above (i.e. extracting two numbers from two different lines) ? The second number is the 3rd field of a line starting with "Total throughput:"
A linux box equipped with LSI MegaRAID SAS1078 controller has 4 SAS disks slots. Slots 1+2 holds disks that have been configured (using the LSI bios interface at boot time) as raid-mirror array (hence exported by the controller as one unique LUN). Slots 3 & 4 each holds disks that are not configured as RAID ("direct attached devices" or "raw devices"). The "scan order" numbers for each disk, as reported by the controller interface, are in the same order than the "slot numbers".
Grub (installed on MBR of slot 1+2 LUN) sees:
* slot 1+2 LUN as hd0
* slot 3 disk as hd1
* slot 4 disk as hd2
The Grub boot command says:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16 root=/dev/sda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.16.img
(hd0,0) is swap
(hd0,1) is /boot
(hd0,2) is /
The linux distro is SUSE (SLES10 SP2). Grub boots correctly (disks in slots 3 & 4 are empty, even no partitions; and as expected, grub tab-auto-completes hd0 with available partitions; on the other hand, grub also sees hd1 and hd2 with the the tab completion, but eventually without partitions behind).
Now the problem: The kernel loads, initrd as well with its bunch of modules, and then harddrives are detected by the scsi driver and there I see: ...
SCSI device sda: ...
sda: unknown partition table ...
SCSI device sdb: ...
sdb: unknown partition table ...
SCSI device sdc: ...
sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 < sdc5 sdc6 sdc7 sdc8 sdc9 > ...
Indeed, shortly after, the sysinit fails mounting FS (because FSTAB addresses directly /dev/sdaN and not UUIDs nor UDEV persistent names). Please note that I do not want to use UUIDs nor LABELs (for personal reasons it's no use to detail here). I tried to change the disk order at the LSI raid bios level, but:
* this interface cannot change priority for LUNs, only for raw devices (and these raw device priorities are set according to slot numbering)
* Grub indeed sees disks correctly, so I think the problem happens only at the linux stage, not earlier.
I tried to look at UDEV persistent rules (in the /etc as well as in the initrd.img/etc after a cpio extract), but there is nothing human readable (nor any obvious aliases, like those we can find for eth cards for instance). It seems that linux sees hardware raid arrays after raw disks, though raw disks are in farther physical slots (and with higher ordering number on the controler) and hence orders them incorrectly. And that's not the behaviour I expect, since I thought the hardware RAID LUNs were seen exactly as raw devices at the linux level, so raid or not should not make any difference in the disks order.
All this story is rigorously reproductible after several boot attempts (i.e. no random discovery here). Is it related to existing udev rules (default rules from SLES10 SP2) I did not find? Or to some missing udev rules (explicit aliases) I should have added? Or to some other udev mechanism I should get rid of (or even get rid of udev completely!)? Or to something else (not udev related... perhaps the fact I also have LVMs and software raid management...)?
I am working on a project but it consist of a large amount of numbers. I have tried using OpenOffice to produce this list of numbers but it keeps crashing when I reach a certain point. So I was looking for some help. I need to see if someone could either help me with using a script or program to export these numbers into a .txt file or if someone could just make the list for me.
I am looking for a text file that will have the numbers 1000000000 to 9999999999 in order. I understand this is a large amount of numbers but this something I don't have the time to just do manually and each time I try to do it with OpenOffice it crashes around 1009000001. Oh and I need the text file to look like this:
1000000000
1000000001
1000000002
1000000003
How can I check and set who can view or open a given folder or file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedInitially I thought - use a for loop with ls in it:
Code:
However this causes lots of problems (folders have extensions, I have duplicate folders, the names with spaces create a folder for each element of the name).
The contents of the folder is basically movies (some with subtitles). Some of the names have things like (original) or CD1 CD2 in them.
I have thousands files in which there are numbers and a dash followed by file name (which are different from each other), but have the same suffix. I would like to remove all the numbers and dash that precedes the file names.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a command to return a recursive listing of sub-directories and the number of files in them? I have found plenty of ways to give me the total number of files in a directory structure, but none that gives a list of the sub-directories with the number of files in them. "du" gives me a listing of directories with their sizes, but I couldn't find an option (or any other way) to give me the number of files as well. Ideally, I'd like to get list with "Size" "Files" "Dir name" - And the order of the columns doesn't matter. Is there a "simple" command line solution or do I need a shell script for that?

I ran into it while google Segmentation Fault. I'm writing a simple C program that reads a file that counts each line and numbers it then writes to a file called sdout. I copyed my program mostly from the text book but im still having problems. Heres my code:

Im using an if statement in the bin ash shell and it isnt working.
Code: if (( 5000 > $available_blocks )) then echo "WARNING Disk space low, "$pct_used" is used" fi
I don't think its a problem with the if. When i use that code it creates a file with name of the value $available_blocks instead of using the '>' sign for comparing the 2 numbers.

I'm writing a bash script where I read a text file (containing a column of numbers) and store each line in an array. There seem to be some problems with the whole thing however, but only for some files and not others. Here's what I do:

I have to read a couple of numbers from a random.txt file. In this .txt file there are random numbers. They are separated by a space. Example if you opened test.txt:

I would like to read those numbers using CAT and store them into an array:
numlen=${#num[*]} - (must be like this because it is a part of a larger program)
When I position icons on the desktop in specific places, then I choose to move a file or folder into another folder, all the icons arrange back to the left side. This happened in an earlier version of KDE 4.x, disappeared the next version, and reappeared. how to keep this from happening. It makes using the desktop a pain in the you know what.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to 11.04, I noticed something strange, being that when I want to drag a file or folder from one Nautilus folder window to another which is not visible, I can no longer hold the item over said folder's taskbar button and wait for it to appear. It just shows the + for copy, and when I let go (which I have no choice but to eventually do), it creates a launcher to that item (I assume it's doing that, and not actually copying there, but the + has me unsure).
I've looked in Nautilus's preferences to see if this is some new behaviour that I can revert back to, but could find nothing there.
I'm of course using the Classic desktop with bottom panel being the taskbar. If you know how I can rectify this, please let me know, as the times I would want to create a file or folder launcher without the usual hassle would be rare, but I am constantly dragging stuff from one folder to another, and it would be a real pain to have to line up source and destination folders each time.
I want to do is this: choose the order (other than alphabetical) of the files that I burn to a disc.Brasero doesn't allow it K3b doesn't allow it GnomeBaker doesn't allow it Unless I am missing something, I can't figure out any way other than renaming all my files with a single number and/or letter at the beginning of a file name to choose the order of files. This blows my mind it seems like the most "no duh" feature that everyone would need in any Cd burning program. if I am stupid or if the software developers are stupid. (because I really can't see any other options) This is seriously so important (to me), that I will abandon Linux and go back to Windows if I can't do it.

I recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04 (lucid) Kernel linux 2.6.32-27-generic gnome 2.30.2
I am running fully updated ubuntu 10.10 and now, since 2 days ago, when I open a file
in open office, gimp or gedit etc the directories and files now appear in reverse alphabetical order.
I am looking for a way to control the order in which files (or more specifically, certain subtrees) are updated for a very large rsync update done daily. There is a finite time frame and finite bandwidth to do these updates, and they usually do NOT complete. I want to control the order so that more important files are copied earlier.
What I have been doing is breaking up the rsync runs into a few steps where the first step is a very limited set of subtrees using --include and/or --exclude, and each step thereafter is increasing the amount, until the last step is the whole tree to be updated. This is not working because the time it takes to transfer the file list is large (varying from 10 minutes to 40 minutes depending on step). I really need to get this back down to doing a single rsync run to reduce that wasted time.
I cannot ultimately split things because there are a lot of hardlinks that need to be retained (or else the destination space and bandwidth would be exceeded).
I was looking at rsync's batch mode. My thought was if I could get a list of what needs to be updated, I could then sort that list and do just 1 more rsync run to do the updates in the order I want. But it turns out the batch mode file is in some cryptic binary format. I really have no idea if that could have worked.
The order selection is not simply based on the names in the top directory, so I cannot simply just list those in the preferred order on the command line (otherwise, yes, that would control the order). If I do list directory names from various depths, that list gets flattened into the destination directory, which would not work to replicate the whole tree exactly.
