General :: Kubuntu 9.10 Boots Only A Command Terminal / Specific Commands To Get The Files?
Nov 6, 2009In a couple days I plan on changing to opensuse from kubuntu. Anyway in the Kpackagemanager I removed the pulseaudio client (and its dependencies) and it messed up my system a bit. I don't really mind but all I need is to get my files from my home folder off my hdd to an external through usb 2.0. When Kubuntu 9.10 boots now all it is is a command terminal basically and I don't know the specific commands to get the files. Or if I need to reinstall something so that it boots up with a graphical looking UI again.

Ubuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command
Feb 17, 2010how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Ubuntu :: Command With The -r Option To Compare A Large Number Of Files And Files In Subdirectories
Jun 16, 2011I am using the diff command with the -r option, to compare a large number of files and files in subdirectories. My main interest is to find out which files have been changed, and not what the actual changes are, and since a lot of files has been changed, it would be a lot easier to view the file names only. Is there and option for diff that might do this, or does there exist a similar tool/command that could do the job?

Feb 20, 2011Is there a method at the command line to copy files from one location to another and retain the source files group and user?I'm migrating some MySQL files from one machine to another.I want to back-up the original files in the directory presently. They have owner:group of mysql, some have owner:group root:mysql and so on. To copy them under cli or Nautilus everything changes to root for I execute sudo cp or gksudo nautilus and copy via gui.
Since it is MySQL data I could simply do a dump of the database and restore it on the other machine. But there's about 20 db's and I want to do this via a copy for it will be faster - at least that is what I think.

Jan 8, 2010I know how to make things run at startup, and obviously know how to run a command in terminal (type and enter... duhhhh). However I would like to be able to run vnstat in terminal when my computer logs in, this is very handy for seeing how much I have downloaded. I have a terminal embedded on the desktop and would very much like to run vnstat in it for me when it starts, I know I could just type in vnstat when I've logged on, but where is the fun in that? Just having it already there for me would be far better.
The command for starting my desktop terminal is as follows:
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans --geometry 90x40+280+30

Ubuntu :: Run A Terminal Command At Startup?
Nov 9, 2010I've searched everywhere, but they all talk about BOOTING into the terminal instead of ubuntu. But here all I want is for ubuntu to automatically run a certain command when I boot into ubuntu.This is related to the screen brightness change problem that's still much of an unsolved mystery for ubuntu and I have mostly solved this 'm able to change the brightness with sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=xx, xx being from 00 to FF, but it doesnt seem to stay when I log out and log back in. Is there any possible way to put a terminal command in the startup applications or something or a possible solution to the brightness problem that I havent discovered yet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Open Terminal Command In 10.04?
Nov 27, 2010In Xubuntu 9.04 I could right click in any directory folder and have the option of opening a terminal window "there". So the terminal command line would open preloaded to that directory. I know, I'm lazy, but it sure made life (and command line work) easier. But it's not available in my new install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, I know that my gui environment has changed from xfce to gnome, but I would have expected MORE features, not less.

Ubuntu :: Run A DOS-like Command Line In Terminal
May 1, 2011I'm a relatively recent Linux convert and I'm studying computer science. I've been taking some time in getting myself familiar with the Terminal and the Linux command line and can now use the Terminal confidently, albeit with a little help from Google every now and then. I know that when I graduate and start working I will mainly be using Windows computers and thus I would like to be able to use the Windows Command Prompt confidently as well.
Is there any way to run something in the terminal that mimics DOS behavior? If not, is there a possibility for me to personally configure an "alternate" terminal which only allows those linux commands that are equivalent to DOS commands, without removing any functionality of the "original" terminal?

Oct 11, 2010I found this command that works great finding and replacing a simple string to another in files located in that folder and all sub-folders.
Code: find . -name '*.php' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/OldText/NewText/g'
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.
