Ubuntu :: Using Scroll Wheel To Move Between Slides Previewing Thumbs
May 9, 2010I found the following question in the OpenOffice forum (unsolved) and was wondering if any of you know the solution. I so badly want it solved.
Quote:
Is there a way to enable scrolling to move onto the next slide? i.e. scrolling down or up w/ mouse button only moves the canvas up/down rather than proceed to the next slide (which requires a Page Up/Dn). Additionally, is there a view similar to ppt that the left side of the screen has thumbnails which u can scroll up and down w/ ur mouse wheel or the up/dn arrow?

Sep 25, 2010I am trying to use an old box as backup server. I have tried a couple of possibilities along the lines of:
Quote:
rsync -a --delete --progress --log-file=/home/$USER/info.txt -e ssh /home /etc root@192.168.0.106:/mnt/back
The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)

Jun 15, 2010In Windows when you delete a file, it really isn't gone.Have to have special software to actually wipe it.what programs in Linux/Ubuntu are along same lines.secure delete a file, secure empty trash, clean the hard drive unused areas (where files once were).Are they in package manager, synaptics or on the web?Update. I took the new Ubuntu system with me on road trip this weekend as a trial.Wireless network connection is from across street. Connected just fine.Hook Nikon camera in to D/L pics, "saw" camera immediatelyForgot cell phone charger at home. Used the USB cable. "saw" phone immediately and phone said charging.So, so far all is well just some things are done a little differently than windows!

Aug 1, 2010I am having a problem with my login labeled "mysql" with the command # groupadd mysql# useradd -g mysql is is of course all within the confines of being super user. What I am having trouble with is that I cannot delete the user through the terminal using the command userdel but to no avail, it states that the user mysql is still logged in even though I have restarted the computer and logged in only to my root account.Whenever I try to log into mysql account it gives me multiple error messages something about the ICE authority and nautilus and when i get past these and onto the home screen, there is nothing, the wallpaper is there but there are no icons and no tool-bars, I cannot shutdown or get to a terminal while on the dysfunctional user. I cannot delete the user because it states I am logged in even though I am not.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Trash Will Not Delete?
Sep 21, 2010I recently tried to delete some files off of my USB drive and it was being glitchy and really slow so I pulled the drive out and put it back in so it would read normally again. I now have an "untitled folder" in my trash that can't be deleted, and the error says "no such file or directory". Unlike a lot of the other problems I've read with not being able to delete the trash files, I don't think this is a permissions problem.
I probably made a stupid mistake and went into the .Trash-1000 folder for the USB drive itself and tried to delete the files, but each time I did that it just duplicated the original folder and renamed it, and now I can't delete those files either!
Ubuntu :: Can't Delete Certain File
Oct 30, 2010I put a MicroSD card in to a card reader, it's from a Nokia mobile phone, and then plugged that in to the USB port.For some reason I can't delete certain files. I am assuming my phone has some kind of virus.Ubuntu refuses to let me access, modify or delete the files that are in the music folder but clearly not music files.
So I tried to open the folder with Wine to try and delete it the windows way (I have no idea if that was even supposed to work) and I get an error message that says 'File not Found' in a typical windows error display box.Now I am having the exact same problem trying to open my home folder from the places menu. The same error pops up.All I want to do is clear a MicroSD card and put new music on it.Also, I am the only user on this computer, and I have administrator privileges, and I cannot access the root folder or the lost-found folder.

Apr 9, 2010My delete key does not work in ubuntu, it does nothing. I understand that this is a common problem, but I could not solve it with the information I found elsewhere.
I ran xev. Pressing the 'a' key gives:
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x1a6, subw 0x0, time 7255643, (-113,-107), root:(425,300),
state 0x2010, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a"
[Code].....
Interesting, Ctrl-v then delete makes the cursor flash once, then nothing is displayed. Pressing Enter after that gives ^M then nothing (not even a new prompt).
Enter once more yields : command not found.
