Ubuntu :: Tweaking Nautilus' File Sorting Order?
Dec 31, 2010
I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu and have a question regarding tweaking the character order Nautilus uses for alphabetical sorting. In my music/graphics/etc folder hierarchies, I have used a hyphen at the start as a 'hack' to 'sticky' some folders above the rest for quicker access. This worked fine in Windows, but Nautilus ignores a hyphen in it's sorting calculations. Is there anyway, simple or complex to replicate this behaviour in Nautilus?

I'm trying to get Chinese filenames to be listed in alphabetical order according to pinyin. Long ago I remember having to install a particular package for that to happen, but in the past year or so I believe that ubuntu at least was doing that automatically. On my most recent linux installation, however, I find that it's not sorting file names by pinyin order. I'm wondering if I have forgotten to install something this time.

why nautilus is sorting my files in such a weird way? I would think it would sort numerically by the first number, then second number, etc.

I have a bunch of files named in hexadecimal, which get displayed in order 0A, 0B, 0C, ..., 0F, 01, 1A, 1B, ..., 1F, 02, 2A, ... 2F, 03, 3A, ..., 9F, 10, 11, 12, ..., 99, A0, ...
How do I get them displayed in the correct order?

I am trying to sort a file, so I can compare it to another file later. I am storing the file name in a variable called curMo. I then call sort $curMo and it hangs for a very long time and I have to quit the process. why this is not working or how to make it work?
Here is part of my code:
#sort this file for this Location
sort -u $curMo -o $curMo.sorted

I have this dictionary file that has this format:
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE, Real Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_2, Real Big Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
SUBSTITUTE_V, Valley Mem
I want to sort this file so the LONGEST Substitute Values are listed at the top ( so SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL would be first in the list). Obviously I want to keep the related values tagging along with them, so the whole first line would be
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
Playing with sort This has me pretty close: sort dict.file -k1.1n,1

I need a shell script which gathers the data from a remote XML file and then displays it according to my needs.. I need this for my job due to the fact that I need to keep track price changes of euro, usd, gold, etc. The XML file I am talking about is located at this page: here. The reason I am posting the URL is that I need to use curl to get this file and it does NOT have newlines after each tag. I thought that that would be a problem. Here is what I need from the script: 1) curl to get the page 2) make use of sed, awk, etc. to display its contents in a more structured and readable manner as shown below:
A: 64.125 (% -0.26)
B: 81.130 (% -0.32)
C: 1.4930 (% 0.00)
D: 1.9590 (% 0.36)

I've been trying out Nautilus-actions (Gnome 2.28.4), but have been unable to import most config files from [url].
When I attempt to import an action, it complains:
Quote:
Can't parse file 'convert_flv_to_avi.schemas' as GConf schema description file!
This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing keys: )
So far, the only one that has worked for me is "Move to custom folder" [url].

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.

Preface: I have just bought two new WD20EARS hard drives and have added them into my LVM and moved all my data from my old failing seagate drives to my new drives. I also have a WD10EARS in the LVM.
These are WD Caviar Green Power 4K hard drives.
Using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and LVM2, everything is working but I want to know if I can tweak it for more performance. I am relatively new.
Questions:
1. How can I check if the 4K drives are aligned?
2. How can I check what block size LVM is using?
3. I didn't partition one of the WD20EARS when adding it to a LV, will this be problematic or effect performance? Can I partition it without losing the data that is on it now?
4. I heard XFS is better than EXT4 for large files and people tend to suggest using certain formats when they're talking about LV's, if I check the format of any of the hard drives it says they are lvm2...?

I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get the best speeds possible. I pay for 16mb/s connection (with charter) and I was getting about 4mb/s. After upgrading firmware, and changing some encryption settings on my router, that went up to about 6mb/s. It's improvement, and I'm happy with that, but I'm looking for that 10 more mb/s
So, is there anything in Ubuntu to tweak to optimize connection speeds? Also, if it affects anything, I'm using a linksys WRT320N router. I was going to use the 5.0ghz band, but my wireless adapter is an 802.11gb, so I'm stuck with 2.4.

I installed Natty Narwhal from a pendrive I set up, which was a bit of a messy install to begin with. However, after booting into Ubuntu, this application called "Install RELEASE" appears. When I run it, it shows up just like I'm installing Ubuntu again. After following it through, it will stop and say that it must unmount /. It offers two options, Go Back, or Continue. Picking either does nothing. This hasn't seemed too big an issue. I can still run it fine. However, the Software Centre is an issue. Whenever I try to download something from it, I get this error:

I have a script that runs my daily rsync, I would like to expand it to email the output, and on a fail, an alternate email address. Also I would like to have the seconds converted to HH:MM:SS if it's not a big deal. What I have so far is the extent of my abilities.
Code:
start=$SECONDS;
if rsync_output=$(rsync ...
then echo Success;
else echo Fail;
fi;
echo "$rsync_output"
echo time in seconds =$((SECONDS-start))

Is there a linux program I can use to extract audio, tweak it and then re-insert it into the video portion? I guess there will have to be a way to also sync the audio and video.

I'm using rhel6. Using File Browser Nautilus 2.28.4 I could easily locate any file I'm interested in by it name. I'd like to use this File Browser to locate the file name based on it content e.g. based on some word in the text file. It doesn't work for me that way ... My question: does Nautilus support the search of file based on it content or only based on the name of the file itself?

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 am trying to change the default boot in grub to the last OS, and cannot find the menu.lst file under the /boot/grub directory.
I have tried to use the locate command to find the menu.lst file, but it doesn't exist. I have grub 1.98 installed and was wondering if the file I need to edit might be under a different name.
I recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04 (lucid) Kernel linux 2.6.32-27-generic gnome 2.30.2

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.

When I parse a XML file, should I rely on the order of elements?
For example say we have:
Should I rely on the above order?
Would the following still be valid:
I'm trying to find out if a well formed XML document should have an ordered structure, or if it's still valid XML if it has no order.
