In Windows it's clear - Program files - all programs are there. But where are programs in linux stored?
I have machine that I used to VNC to on my network with Remote Desktop Viewer from my Fedora 12. When I first connected I checked the checkbox that I wanted to store the pw. Now the pw on the other machine has changed but Remote Desktop Viewer does not ask for a new password, it just gives me a black screen, like I am connected but I can't see anything. I'd like to know if anyone knows where this pw data is stored on the system so I can start fresh. I already tried uninstalling Remote Desktop Viewer and installing it again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the default email that comes with Ubuntu.What I had:
- 10.10 installed onto a terabyte hard drive with email organized into individual folders under the main folder
What I did:
- bought a new terabyte hard drive and installed 11.04 on it
- set up old terabyte drive as backup drive but kept everything on it
So how do I dig into the old drive to get the email off of it and into my 11.04 install? I didn't overwrite any files, I need to get the mail off before I can do that.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my two machines. I installed the restricted extras on one machine along with all other updates. Is it possible to just copy those updates into the other machine, without wasting time and bandwidth in entire new update?
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 Gnome.I have a hpDeskjet 940c. It ran great since 8.04 and still works great on 10.04. However, I had to shut down the computer it is on to do some hardware repairs to the powersupply of the computer. So, I moved my printer to another Ubuntu 10.04 machine and discovered I didn't know the settings, such as baud rate, flow control, parity, etc. Ubuntu had never asked me for them....nor was I lucky at guessing them. I then found the hp installer which said it supported my printer and would automatically do the install job, but after trying it, I found it only supported USB and my printer has only a parallel connection.
I then moved the printer to a 9.04 Machine, thinking I only needed to drop back in time, since my printer worked great during that era also, and discovered the same problem! Evidently my printer hasn't been supported for some time! Yet it has happily worked with each new version of Ubuntu.This brought me to the realization there must be a file in my home directory which survives each new full install that I do, and that contains everything my printer needs to be automatically set up, as with each new version of Ubuntu, the wizard has worked great automatically setting it up.Does anyone know the name of that file, so that I can copy it to the new machine?

After I installed jEdit, I now have an "Open with jEdit" option on the right-click context menu, and I want to modify that to reuse the existing jEdit view rather than create a new one. However, both my ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and ~/.nautilus folders are completely empty, so where are the scripts stored?

I use RHEL on a daily basis for work so don't really have much experience with window managers etc but like to understand how I'm doing what I'm doing. In that regard, I've configured a couple of scripts to be run when I login using 'System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications' but what I want to know is where do these settings actually get stored within the file system?

I setup my ubuntu to have no users and only root account, but i found that its not made to work correctly with being root at all times, so i created an account and want to export my root prefferences to newly created account, just like i could with windows by exporting files/registry keys etc.

Does anyone know WHERE Ubuntu stores the location for mounted external filesystems and/or servers? I can mount other computers on my network, display the files etc., but CAN NOT find where Ubuntu saves the mounted system data and locations.
I mount a PC on the network, open a file manager window and see everything, but can't find where Ubuntu has that system "mounted". It's NOT in the /mnt folder or anywhere else I can see. I need to find this location to feed it to a program that sets up a remote server. I can't setup the server because the program only "looks" at the local root and doesn't find any external mounts.

I know I can go to Startup Applications and add a launcher, but I don't want to have to login as every user and do that. Is there a file I can edit from the command line with elevated privledges? Something I could script, like appending to an XML file or something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using the KDE version of Jaunty Jackalope since it came out last spring, installing it on several different machines. Each time, I make a series of changes to the profile settings in konsole to make it look and act the way I like. Recently, I've installed JJ on yet another machine and I find myself reluctant to tackle the tedious job of changing those profile setting, one by one, yet again.
It occurs to me that the settings are probably kept in a file someplace, and that I might be able simply to copy that file from a machine on which I have the settings already in place, and paste it onto the new machine. I've tried making a minor change in the profile, then looking for a file that's time-stamped at that moment, but I haven't found anything in the places I've looked.

Can a Live CD store programs so that every time the machine is rebooted, one doesn't need to reinstall everything? I want to have a Live CD (Not USB) able to run on any computer that I put the CD in and boot from. I burned Ubuntu 10.10 to a rewritable DVD 4.7 GB, because I don't have a spare flash drive but I have several of the DVD+RW. What I'm looking to do is have Ubuntu on my DVD with Microsoft 2007 installed to it via wine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install Lubuntu 10.10 in a VirtualBox 3.0.14 guest on Mac OS X 10.4 with the hopes of getting Guest Additions installed and working.
From prior experience I tend to go through the install process more than once which involves downloading the updates and any necessary apt-get files multiple times.
So, where do these files get stored? I would like to then save them to a separate disk mount, so I can use them on a subsequent install...which is second question...how can do that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux. I was running Ubuntu 10.04. While downloading software, one of my downloads changed changed my OS to Xubuntu. From browsing the available software, I surmised(wrongfully it turned out) that files starting were X files. In Synaptic, I deleted all files starting with X. This I found is a form of hari kari. When I boot up now, I have a choice of straight to Ubuntu or "Help" mode. If I boot up straight, I get to Ubuntu logo and it hangs up running the dots between red and green and I give a warm boot to restart. If I choose the "Help" route, I go thru what a windows user would call DOS commands or activity. At the end of whatever it is doing, it asks for user ID and password. I give it those and I am given a command line. I don't know what to do with this. I would like to access my stored files and save them. If nothing can be done to save them, I will just start over by reinstalling 10.04. BTW I am running 7.1 from an old boot disc. Is there some way that I can retrieve my files?
