If i wanted to tar a directory into individual directories (but only one level) how would i go about it? example would be
MainDirectory
|---dirA
|---dirB
|---dirc
|---dir....
would produce
dirA.tar
dirB.tar
dirC.tar etc
organizing where I put source directories:
1) Is there any convention or best practice as to where to store source tars for packages that you have to build yourself, as well as for where to store the source directories that are extracted (the ones containing the generated Makefile)? I'm getting to a point where there are tars and source directories all over my home directory and elsewhere, and it's becoming disorganized very quickly.
2) Are the entire source directories needed to be kept around, or could simply the Makefile be enough to perform a 'make uninstall' if necessary?
3) Is there any problem with moving around the source folders after a package has been built and installed? Meaning if I install a package, move the source directory, then do a 'make uninstall' from that new location, would it successfully remove the package?
4) Now that I think about it is there any reason to keep around the tars after installing a package? As long as you have the source directory, what point would there be?
I'm a newbie who has just installed Maverick on my old HP box and I have to say I'm hugely impressed. I have 2x 160Gb drives in the machine, is there a utility which will let me backup/mirror certain directories automatically, whilst still being able to utilise the remaining space on the second disk?

Why would this be the case???

I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

I'm using Screenlets in ubuntu 10.04 and I have a problem with screenlets behavior.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Acer Aspire 5745. The installation was successful. However, I found that my internet is not working. Later I realised that there are no ethernet drivers. The one that I need is Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller(NDIS 6.20). My wireless is also not working. This one is a Broadcom 802.11n Network adapter.On googling, I found this thread : URL...
To install the driver first, I had to do build-essential and headers-generic. Since I have a desktop, i thought of manually downloading the packages on my desktop and then transferring it to the acer. But i came across many dependencies for build-essential, that is, I first had to install something else before build-essential. The dependencies led me to further dependencies and so on. Is there any way for me to get all the packages without downloading each individual ones?

We have quite a few SEO clients who require multiple IPs which are all from different class c allocations. (10 - 50 IPs) used for projects lasting weeks to months at a time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently, 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 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how to compile qcserial.c kernel module from the latest kernel source file located in the 2.6.37-rc8 kernel tree. I have installed the sources for my current kernel 2.6.35-24-generic on maverick and it seems that my includes are not in the right place to make the qcserial.c file happy.
I overcame this issue by passing the -I option to gcc that points to the directories that it is looking for.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I just had a quick question on logical volumes and such with ubuntu. I've been looking into setting up a storage array of 4 2tb hard drives for media storage in my house but have ran into a wall with with sort of array i should use, whether it be setting up a full raid system (raid 5 or 10 most likely) or using LVM for stripping. The one thing with LVM however, is that there is no parity or redundancy built into it in case 1 hard drive fails. I was wondering if it was possible to create something similar to that of LVM stripping, but instead the logical volume is sorted into whole individual files, not stripping them across the array. That way, if one drive fails, sure, i lose the contents of the one drive, but the rest of the content isn't lost and I have no loss of space because there is no inherent parity.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust installed Fedora 12. After installing a new distro, I usually remove the individual programs that I have no use for or interest in. In Fedora, I've noticed that, for KDE at least, I can't remove just one program I have to remove the whole "group" of programs. For example, I might want only one game on my system and remove the rest but KPackageKit only allows to me to remove KDE Games (all of them) instead of just the programs I have no interest in. This is not the same as other distros I have tried. Is there a way around this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis sounds like an old topic. I have an active user account in my system that I don't want it to be listed in GDM greeter. In the past (prior to Gnome 3), it can be achieved by configuring the "Exclude" option of the "greeter" section in the Custom.conf or by creating the user account with UID smaller than MinimalUID. But it seems the same old trick does not work for me in Gnome 3. I have tried the "Exclude" option with no effect at all. Using the UID approach only solves my problem partially, as it only exclude it in the GDM greeter during "switch user" but it still being shown in the list in the initial greeter after a cold boot.
Anyone know how to do this in Gnome 3?
