View 3 RepliesI have a problem deleting a certian file from a NTFS format 1TB USB HDD.
I attempted to MOVE the file (x.avi) to another directory on the same drive. On the MOVE process I accidently cancelled it. I then COPIED the file to another directory, this copied fine so i just need to delete the original x.avi.note; when I now attempt to move the original x.avi I get an error message: "Error while moving "x.avi". There was an error moving the file into /media/1TB/Movies. More details: Error moving file: Numerical result out of range. (I'm assuming a corrupted file)?
Lastly, every time i attempt to delete x.avi, it puts the file in the wastebasket but doesnt delete it; Every delete attempt makes a new file in the wastebasket (e.g. x, x.1, x.2, x.3, x.5 etc etc).
All other files/folders are fine its just this 1 folder/file.
My Trash applet always shows that there are 2 items in the trash can.
Its driving me insane.
I tried sudo rm -fr /home/*/.local/share/Trash to no avail.
Where is the trash folder in karmic? I had to create the Trash folder in home first.
Has it been moved from the /home tree?
Evolution Mail I have a bunch of messages from last August stuck in the Deleted box. Other deleted messages are emptying ok. how I can get rid of them? I do a regular back-up and restore but they just won't go away.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using Evolution, latest version for Linux. For some reason, I can't get the deleted items folder in the mail view to expunge. Is there some reason why emptying the trash suddenly doesn't work? It worked for the first few days of using Evolution, but now it just doesn't work -- the deleted items just stay there.
Here's the error message:
Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Handle Later (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
How to deal with this error. The folder that this refers to does exist, so I dont know why I'm getting this error when I try to empty my trash in Evolution.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am 61 years old and brand new to Ubuntu. My son built a computer for me which I am using. I hated Windows so he installed Ubuntu 9.10 which I love. My son left for the Air Force Academy and when he left he told me and I was on my own so I am doing my best to learn. Everything was going fine but today I encountered a problem.
When I tried to empty my trash in the Evolution Mail program, I encountered this error message:
Error while Expunging folder.
Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
I googled the error and found this solution:
I first used Evolution File > Backup Settings. Then I went to my .evolution/mail/local and deleted all files that had an extension of:
.index
.cmeta
but NOT .data
When restarted it takes a few minutes to rebuild. Then I was able to successfully delete everything in my trash folder. I have looked and looked and I cannot find the .evolution/mail/local folder. How to get to it. Or perhaps am I using the wrong corrective action. If that is the case, then what should I do.
Banshee is, at seemingly random intervals, emptying any playlist I have imported (as .pls generated by Rhythmbox). The playlists I build in Banshee directly are not suffering this emptying problem. (There is one imported playlist, of some 30+, which has not yet emptied but I see nothing special about it.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database with the following table (see below). What I need to do is to empty the itype column completely, so that if I do a Select itype from items; it will return empty set. I have tried dropping and recreating the itype column, but it just adds the data I want to insert to the end, and even when I recreate it, it is not empty.. I need to overwrite it, or better, start with an empty column.

View 1 Replies View RelatedNow and then I'll run a script or command on a remote system via SSH. Sometimes the script or command will run for quite some time, spewing output all the while. The command will continue to spit out lines and I'll walk away from the computer. When I come back, the SSH session will have timed out due to lack of user input, but if I log in again I can see in the process list that the script is still running.
Is there a way to hop back onto my old SSH session so I can continue to view the output of the script? Or do I actually have to type a random letter every N-minus-one minutes, N being the default SSH timeout value, in order to prevent the original SSH session from timeing out in the first place?
I have just installed Ubuntu and its great!
But unfortunately when I was installing it and I formatted my hard drive i forgot that I had important files from my windows partition, is there any way I can recover these files within Ubuntu? (Also new to linux so try to keep it simple.)
Once again an update broke my Lucid When I start my laptop, I can't see the options to choose a kernal or Windows as I used to see before. know my grub is deleted or overwritten after recent automatic update (on 27th May 10).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using Ubuntu 10.10 on my EEE-PC for most of my thesis research, but I left it running a python script overnight and now I can't get it to login. I was running low on disk-space, and I think the problem is that the script generated a lot of text files and used up all of the available hard drive space.
Now, whenever I try to boot the machine, it reaches the user-select/login screen, but logging in just causes it to go black for a second before returning to the login screen. I have Ubuntu 11.04 on a USB, and Ubuntu Rescue Remix on another, and both allow me to boot up my machine, but I can't see my hard-drive - neither in /mnt/ nor in /media/ - in order to copy my thesis files or to delete some excess text files to free up some hard-drive space.
By gross mistake I delated ALL my emails in my gmail account. I did this from thunderbird 3 so I deleted emails in the computer and the server. Fortunately my home folder still has the thunderbird 2 folder and and weighs 1.5 gigas with files callled inbox and sent mail weighting hundred of megas, so my emails ARE there.Problem is, when I open Thunderbird 2 the emails don't appear there. How can I get them back and into Google servers too?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI currently have this laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it. A buddy of mine wants to buy the laptop from me but doesn't want Ubuntu on it instead he wants Vista on it. I have a 4GB USB stick and want to use it to do a clean install of Vista instead of the preconfigured Vista that is on a Recovery partition on the harddrive.
How to install Vista from USB but unable to find one with directions on how to copy the DVD or source files for Vista onto the USB within Ubuntu and still make it bootable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm browsing on my phone which is not letting me scroll to the end of this text box so I will say thank you in advance for any replies now.After my computer was switched off abruptly after a power outage I have many errors upon booting. My hard drive setup consists of a RAID0 array of two 500GB sata disks. The partition table (from my head!) goes like this:50GB NTFS Windows XP /c/50GB ext4 Ubuntu 9.10 /4GB swapThe rest is a large NTFS partition all the way up to the end of the array at 987GB. Mounted at /media/share/I am thinking I will have to start again (I won't lose much, I have recent backups), but what is the best way of restoring the system as much as I can? Currently my computer has been booted into Ubuntu for over an hour, and after pressing ctrl+alt+shift+F2 I can see that it is finding errors still, now at sector 6008. Should I let this run its course or REISUB it and boot onto a live CD. I think the main problem is with an NTFS partition

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm not at all sure what happened, but now Ubuntu won't boot. A program just froze (as programs often do), so I shut down and rebooted, only to find pages and pages of gibberish about ATA sectors and stuff when I tried to get GRUB to load my usual Ubuntu platform (Karmic Koala). I tried "recovery" platforms and older ones, but no luck. I'm now using the Live CD and I've found an error saying "DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS" about my '160GB ATA Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00'. It apparently has 109 bad sectors, and the Live CD's assessment is that I "replace the disc".
