View 8 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone use Ubuntu to make (video) DVDs? That is, not just burn an existing .iso, but take a number of video files (e.g. mpeg) and create a playable DVD from them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having issues creating a share with 10.04 - but those I'll try and sort out by myself, how Ubuntu creates samba shares these days?
On a test machine I can create shares, but am having some permission issues. I go to the smb.conf file but can't find the created share? Where does Ubuntu store the new config file for creating samba shares? I assume I can just override by creating a share by hand in the smb.conf file like a always do, but I'd rather try and work with, rather than against 10.04.
if anyone knows any trick to create a folder that deletes its contents on every boot, like "/tmp" but on a different hard drive since i have 2 internal hdd's.
[For saving massive temporary cache files, to increase overall speed (1 hdd for use, 1 hdd for storage/temp storage).]
Any idea how one can accomplish this? Oh, and is there a GUI tool that can help with the process?

I want to make a script to create a videos , photos, and documents folder in all of my (or anyone's) user's home folder. Wildcards don't seem to work if I try to put in: sudo mkdir /home/WILDCARD/videos here is my error.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/*/videos1': No such file or directory
and just to clarify i want all user's to have there own seperate folders not shared.
P.S. I tried with the -p switch and no luck. I just got a new home folder for * with the videos folder inside.
I recently created a new user account in ubuntu linux, and created a file called xsession so that I can boot directly into xmbc when I log into that account. Is there anyway to delete the home folder for that account. I can view the file but when I try to delete it is says I do not have apporite permisions to delete the file.
I removed the account and deleted the group but it still shows up when I type in the address /home/xmbc
Is there anyway I can delete this file. It also will not let me create any new user accounts is there any way I can fix these prolbems without totaly reinstalling the system.
Is it possible to create a new command prompt in Ubuntu? I have a assignment and I don't fully understand it. I have to make c files and then open them in the command prompt. Would this happen in a new command prompt or I'd have to use the already existing one? Is this even possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a scheduled backup that runs via anacron, and I currently am writing the output to a log file and mailing the output to root via local mail, see I have tried implemented a notification using libnotify, see Two problems:) I don't get a notification when anacron runs the backup script, I get a notification (sent to my primary user) when root runs a "test" notification script (I strip out the rsync command)) I don't think that this notificication will get delivered if another user is logged in when the backup script is run.I have become accustomed to the notifications that I get from evolution calendar, and I know that if the computer is off when the alarm is to be triggered I still get the notification next time I log in.For what its worth, I am running a Jaunty desktop computer for househould use, and there are two users.

Is there a guide on creating a package from PHP scripts or something? Example: if I've developed a system and I want to make it to a deb file to deploy to my friends and such. I've tried looking for one but I have not been lucky so far.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am in the tasks section of the following tutorial [URL] I did the list package thing to see what packages there are. However now I cannot leave the list in order to run the purge command. How can I get back to the previous section so I can remove packages from the custom live cd. I want to make sure I am editing the live cd and not the current install. I am going to make two images. One cd that will still have a gui but I plan to build as a recovery tool. The other one is a dvd and will be for installing everything I want on any machine. I am doing the tutorial with Karmic. Also I have cursors, themes and icons I installed from gnome look. I then went to customize and created my own personal mix I like. I would like to make this a standalone theme and come as the default theme on the live cd and dvd. I have no clue what I am doing, however wish to learn to build my own custom live cd. Also I would like to know how to ad repositories to the live cd and how to add programs pre installed that are not usually included.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to print some documents I created in OO (.odt), but our printers are not Linux compatible, which means I somehow need to transfer the files to a Windows computer. I can't use the .odt files because MW can't open them (I can't install OpenOffice on the machines), and saving in either .doc or .docx does not work either because it totally messes up the document. So I tried print to file and created several pdfs, but again Adobe Reader on Windows can not open them. I am sort of running out of ideas, and the other thing is I am not really sure if the files I created are pdfs at all. When you open them in gedit they all start with
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 which to me looks more like a post script file.
I tried to recreate my Grub setup after restoring a backup tar file to a new hard drive. Here is what I did.
I created a tar backup of my working 9.10 server install. I used fdisk to create the same partition structure as the old hard drive:
sda1 Primary bootable ext4 (83)
sda2 Extended
sda5 Linux / swap (82)
I mounted the new drive with the newly created partitions on the current system and extracted the tar backup to the new sda1 partition. I then recreated all the directories which were excluded in the tar backup (mnt, media, home, proc, sys, etc).
I then shut down, unplugged the old OS hard drive, plugged the new hard drive into the same cable as the old OS HD and powered it up. It told me that there was a GRUB error.
I did some looking around and found that I could use an Ubuntu Live CD to fix/install Grub on that hard drive. I burnt a 9.10 desktop CD, booted, installed Grub and here I am.
I am having a difficult time figuring out the GRUB commands.
This is what I was planning on doing:
Code:
1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop.
2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
3. Type "grub"

To install ubuntu 10.04, I've tried to create partitions on my hard drive, and an external hard drive. Both have failed. I have apparently exceeded the max number of partitions on my hard drive (came with 4 on it. Recovery, OS, and 2 others I don't want to mess with.), and the external hard drive won't let me shrink the NTFS volume to create space for a new partition. Can I get steps to create a new partition, preferably on the external drive (it has more space). My computer is a dell inspiron 1525 with a 225 Gb hard drive, And my external drive is a windows system Seagate 1 Tb Hard drive (I've checked, external drive works with ubuntu).

I've spent the past several hours trying to determine how I can mount a Windows 7 ISO onto my USB drive using Ubuntu. I have followed this post, as it is the only thing that came up on Google after hours of searching (mostly it shows how to make a Ubuntu USB drive on Windows, not vice versa.)
Using the method in that post, it seems like I was successful. However, after a few seconds it gave me an error like this.
Code:
Load Driver
A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD dive, you can safely remove it for this step.
I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 for awhile now, and I wish to create a partition for Windows 7 so that I can dual-boot. I know you all are cursing me right now, but I have no choice. I run too much high-end software for business purposes that I need to.
I have dual-booted before, but that was when I had windows xp on a primary partition, and I seem to recall that was necessary. I dual-booted ubuntu afterwards as a trial basis, and then I completely switched to Ubuntu 100% for the last couple years. Unfortunately I need to go back. Is it possible to create a file partition for windows as a secondary partition without wiping all my data?
