Ubuntu :: Path Of Iso Mounted Using Archive Mounter?
Jul 15, 2010
O need to enter a file path into a program (happens to be AcidRip DVD Extractor) of a disc that I wish to access. I have a particular ISO image that I'm mounting (happens to be a DVD I want to watch on my TV via a USB drive so I need to rip the DVD to a video file such as xvid), but when I mount it using the Archive Mounter that comes standard in Ubuntu 10.04, I can't figure out where the ^@%! it's mounted or how to set where I want to mount it.
I'd like to ask about archive mounter feature, can I mount zip file with read write mode? can gvfsd-archive do that?, or I must use fuse-zip to mount it? If I must use fuse-zip, how I wrap it so I can use it via nautilus or via gvfs-fuse-daemon
I'm writing a script to rsync some directories to external hdd for backup.
My external hdd gets automatically mounted to /media/backup1
My script then backs up predefined directories to /media/backup1.
I have added this script to cron to run once every day.
The problem is that in the case where the drive is not plugged in and the script runs, it backs up to my local hard drive, and since it is more than 70% full, it fills it up by duplicating that 70% onto itself.
I have taken the script further, to test whether /media/backup1 is mounted. If it is, the backup will run. If it is not, it will bail out.
I'm using the mountpoint program to test for mounts.
My script so far:
Code: #!/bin/bash if [[ `mountpoint /media/backup1` ]]; then echo "filesystem mounted" # The backup function. Commented out for testing.
i get onto Ubuntu Software Center and try too download"gISOMount"and i get a message like thisThe installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.
Steps to reproduce: Add a Drawer to a panel Add to the Drawer the Trash or the Disk mounter applet Restart Result: any Drawer in panels you have is now unusable.
I am new to the world of linux and when attempting to verify a tar archive I am displayed the following error. When running the command tar cvfW archivename.tar filename directoryname does not yield any errors.
I'm new to Ubuntu, and everytime i've tried to download a program like iTunes, the "Archive Manager" comes up and says "An Error Has Occured While Loading the Archive". how to fix this or download programs ?
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Java applet not loading image with relative path(e.g. images/1.jpg) but loads image with absolute path(i.e. from /root/user/images/1.jpg) . This is a problem when i want to host the applet on web server
I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.
how to add a path to PATH variable permanently so that it remains persisent even after closing shell and rebooting the system when i added a path, to variable it remained there as long as i didn't closed the shell. but when i reopened it ,changed were undone.
I have a path c:windowsackup I need this string to be changed into /windows/back/up I used the command -bash-3.00$ echo windackup | sed 's/\//g' but the output is windbackup
prefix=user@my-server: find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h�' | while read -d "" path ; do ( cd "$path" || exit $?
[code]....
How shall i go about changing the absolute path to relative path, so that /home/git/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git gets converted to /mirror/android/adb/ndk.git //echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git" ?? - anything for relative path?
I am trying to figure out how i can add the path /usr/sbin/ into the $PATH variable. I want this to be used from the normal account. I am bored settinh this manualy each time my computer starts.
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
Does anyone know how to get the path with a inode number by C programming? Or can I get the absolute path without giving a "path" but a inode number by C?
like this: get_path(unsigned inode); not such this function: getcwd(".", xxx); taowuwen@gmail.com
running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.
1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)
2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?
Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make gcc kernel headers of the running kernel
and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:
Searching for GCC... The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary. Would you like to change it? [yes]
and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?
I need to know, how can I make an archive passworded, that means, I will set a password for this archive and nobody can open it without this password. The archive is .tar.bz2.
I'm trying to extract an RAR file which has my stuff on it from university, they use Windows Vista Ultimate so i thought i would be safe when saving my work to my flash drive. So i saved my work with the program winzip. when i got home i put in my flash drive and asked Kubuntu to extract only to find i don't have a RAR program to extract so i asked to install one via the Kpackage Manager and everything seemed fine so i asked it to extract again and said cannot extract unknown file. so i went through the terminal to install again and to make sure they were no bits of the install missing and i got this.
robert@HP-COMPAQ-LINUX-KDE:~$ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree [sudo] password for robert: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
Package unrar-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'unrar-nonfree' has no installation candidate robert@HP-COMPAQ-LINUX-KDE:~$
Is there any other way of extracting my work as i need to get my essay open and finnish it before monday. Also why is it saying that the package is missing? and what is the other source? Is there a way to decrypt this RAR file that vista has made?
Also one more thing once ive managed to decrypt and extract my work what is the reccomended format to between vista and kubuntu so i wont get anymore issues?

I have a ton of music that I would like to upload to an on-line storage site. Ideally, I would like to keep the file organization structure intact, but am limited to 50mb file size.
Is there a way to compress this whole directory without going through and compressing every folder individually, while maintaining less than a 50mb file size?

I recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named: file.part01.rar file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code: 7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.
I am trying to install MySQL, Apache, and PHP onto my Linux Ubuntu laptop from a cdrom that I got from a teach yourself MySQL, Apache, and PHP book I bought. First off there were two steps which i think i did right. The first was to mount the CD-ROM under /mnt in my file system which i did and there seems to be no problem except for the reply "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only"
now first of all there are two things I need to explain, first of all I was superuser for all of this by using the command su at the beginning of my terminal session. Second of all the symbol "|" on my line of code above looks different from the symbol in the book. It should have a small space in the middle of it. However it looks like this on my keyboard so I am assuming it is simply a difference in text font. That is it, it would be really nice to figure out what went wrong because to be honest I am curious as to why the book is giving me code that gives multiple errors.
