I know i can use ls comand to list files in folders other than current working directory like this:
Code:
ls /home/user
But where do i add additional option to only list files that end with x?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to specify that the computer get's put to sleep, after being inactive for 4 hours. The choices on the drop down are 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and never.Is there an easy way to modify or add additional choices to the list? This would allow me to easily switch between them, if necessary.If not, what would I need to modify behind the scenes, to set this value to 4 hours?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to read out a friend's windows hard drive, so I took the IDE connection from my CD drive and plugged it into the hard drive.
Now at boot time at the stage where it usually checks all partitions, linux complains about "zero length partition of that harddrive" and then stops giving me an emergency login.
Maybe that hard drive is actually faulty, even though I see all partitions correctly in windows. What can I do to make linux stop checking it? Is there a boot time option?
I suppose later I can manually mount a /dev/sdb or so device. I just have to figure out which

I need to change from CentOS 4.8 to Redhat Enterprise 5.
1) What is my best option to upgrade and maintain the additional software that I have installed in /opt & /usr/local?
2) Process to reinstall/configure the additional drives during & after the install?
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 from the LiveCD--smooth install, OS looks great-elegant.Now, since I have to use dial-up, I need to install additional files from the LiveCD that aren't installed by default:
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvdial wvdial_1.60.3_i386.deb
...and
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvstreams [3 sw packages]
How do I get these files from the CD, and make them run on the Ubuntu installation? I've checked in the UI, and see various terms I don't yet understand. Do I extract the packages? Or do I open a pgm in Ubuntu, in which I specify the path to the files on the CD?
I'm going to use an external USRobotics 5637 USB modem that is supposed to work in Linux; just need to configure Ubuntu for this. I have the ISP DNS server numbers and modem is ready. I've seen online info, but I'm stuck at this very basic step.
I'm just starting to get a feel for it, and learning about the software. I can't get m4a files to play in Rhythmbox - it says it needs additional plugins, but I don't know where to find them. suggest a link for an m4a decoder plugin, or different software that can play m4a files?

how to position the file list anywhere in the argument list?
I have made a Debian minimal installer on a USB drive according to this manual: [URL] I have installed a minimal version of Debian, meaning text-only, with only the kernel, shell, filesystem, and a few programs. Now I need to install the rest of it over the internet. So here are my questions:
1. Where can I find the additional files to install?
2. Where can I find a manual that tells you how to install them? This manual doesn't say anything about that.
3. Are you supposed to install the files during the installation process, or do you get them online through the minimal Debian (using wget, etc.)?
I'm testing out 10.04 on one of my partitions, and I love it. I have been using it exclusively for a while now, I have not logged into Windows since! Really don't care about windows anymore!However, yesterday I went to boot into windows... and I noticed the option to choose it is missing from my list! Maybe I'm just not getting to the correct list? The list I get shows like 5 different modes and versions of Ubuntu and something called Windows Recovery (which does nothing), but that's it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

I really only need the artist and the song title. If it can't be formatted exactly like that, then it's not the end of the world.
whether the command-line tool "mysql" comes with mysql-server or mysql-client (I installed both at once, so I have no idea). It occurs to me that this is a good opportunity to learn more about linux package management.
I've tried saying "dpkg -L mysql-server", but it only lists the files in /usr/share/docs files for some reason. I'm sure there's got to be files elsewhere. Am I way off base?

Is there a way I can list all open files by a user? I found the command lsof but it the command lists too many files some of which are not used directly by the user. What I want is to view only the files that are currently open like text files, documents, pictures etc and not other system files.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am writing a bash shell script and I am trying to use a select case to modify a few files with the same filename but different extensions (i.e. problem.tex problem.log problem .pdf etc.)
It goes something like this:
Select item in $list
do
compile $item.tex
open $item.pdf
delete $item.log
break
done
exit
Right now my list is list=$( find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.tex" ) which returns a list only from the current directory of all files ending in .tex so when I try to open the resulting .pdf file I get the error:
error: file problem.tex.pdf doesn't exist
So I'm trying to find a way to use just the name in a select menu.
if there is an application available to generate a list with files and folders from a location, like a hard drive or a folder? The list could be in any format, even a text file would be just fine.
