Ubuntu :: Delete 'root' And 'lost+found' Directories?
Sep 23, 2010
I discovered two folders marked with a cross in my root:
- root
- lost+found
And when I'm trying to reinstall a newer version of Netbeans, 6.9.1. it claims that there is already something running in 'root folder "The installer lock file exists at /root/.nbifile/.nbillock"
The question is - is those folders are needed for Ubuntu working? -If not how to delete them? And one more question - how to delete a programme from the 'Applcations-Programming'? I tried to do that via 'System-Preferencies-Main Menu' and tried to delete a previous version of Netbeans, but it didn't work, - nothing happens, the previous version is still there, so I have two ones - 6.9.1 and 6.9.

I am a pretty new user to linux, I am trying to run a program called car whisperer. The file can be downloaded here trifinite site - the home of the trifinite.group the readme says to install just type $make #make install but this does nothing and I am not sure how to install it. There is a file called makefile which I try to run in terminal but it just gives me all sorts of errors about not being able to find files and directories. I have seen it run and the person simply types ./carwhisperer to run the program but I also get no directory or file here as well (probably cause I have not installed). I was able to install some programs using sudo apt-get install (filename) but I haven't found this command to work for this program.

I've got a simple command that does almost what I want.
The following will locate all files with a suffix of '_compressed.swf' and copy each into its same directory with a '.bak2' appended:
However, I need to replace '_compressed.swf' with '_content.swf' I'd like to use find, rather than recursive flag on cp for consistency.
Objective
In: /content/somefile_compressed.swf
Out: /content/somefile_content.swf

I've got a folder on my disk that I simply cannot interact with at all. It was created while extracting an archive. It has a special character in its name: "�". But all those other characters work fine. Can anyone give me a hint on how to delete the folder?Tried in terminal with rm -r which gives me an error:Code:rm: cannot remove `03 - Und die unertr_glichen Schmuggler/': No such file or directory

I just setup a vsftpd server and I am baffled about one issue. I allow local login and have not chroot anybody and disallow anonymous login. When connected as a local user I can browse the servers file system including the root (/) directory. There I can download whatever file I want but not write to it.All permissions are untouched since installing the server.Looking at the file permissions they are in general rwxr-xr-x (root root)
Isn't this a security threat? If so it seems strange as these are the default permissions. I don't dare changing the permissions for the entire file system.

Need help maintaining permissions across multiple directories. Have Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. O/S installed, updated and running with no problems.Why is it that my administrator user id doesn't seem to have root permissions to create directories? I am trying to setup hosting 3 separate websites and therefore create 3 separate directories to manage all associated files for the 3 websites. Also, I am attempting to read through the tutorials located at:URL...

On a school network the Windows and Mac computers connect to the internet with no problem. The Ubuntu(10.04) computers are connected and work on the internal network but have major issues going out of the building. I can get to one or two webpages to open and the connection dies...Server not found. Ping within the network and there are no lost packages, if I ping outside many lost packages.
We are using SonicWall and think it could be blocking...but why only Ubuntu? This is the same behavior for Firefox and Seamonkey. It's also the same for the thin/fat clients and standalone units. I did try a fresh install with no effect. The internet actually works on the one machine with ubuntu 9.10. I brought a machine home and it connected to the internet with no problem.
Two things I can think of that would of caused this are:
1- we keep getting windows about missing applets, someone may have clicked delete
2- I connected a server to run fat clients w/ LTSP and discovered my server and the schools were handing out the same ip's.

I've just installed a new 2TB disk. Its formatted as ext3 and mounted. Works fine.Only concern is that the lost+found directory is visible to normal users. The disk mount point is owned by root. ls -l showsdrwx------ 2 root root 16384 2011-03-24 10:36 lost+foundThe applicable line from fstab is/dev/sdb1 /var/wayfinder ext3 defaults 0 1

I backed up my information from 10.4 to an external hard drive before I switched to pinguy using sbackup. Once I installed pinguy, I made sure to download sbackup and hit restore. So far, all fine and dandy, except when it restored my information, it extracted all the information to a new folder in /home, which is root-restricted, so I can't even access it normally. I got annoyed, and just manually extracted the music and documents (which were the only things I really cared about anyway), and now I'd like to delete the 15 or so gigabytes just sitting on my computer, taking up space. The folder being root, I couldn't just drag it to the wastebasket. so I started terminal, entered root, typed rm /home/tmpuWiQlI (the folder in question), only to be told it's a directory and can't delete it! What gives?

I copied a folder from /media/memory_stick into a folder /opt/openerp/server/bin/addons.
Trying to open the copied folder I discovered that it is impossible because it is owned by root.I should like to delete the copied folder.To avoid this ownership I copied the folder in /home/cristian/Downloads and I will copy it with:sudo cp -R folder_name /opt/openerp/server/bin/addonsMaybe in this way the folder will be not more owned by root.I tried already but because in the destination folder already exist one owned by root nothing is happening.

I have a weird problem here with a 9.04 server. We have a raid 5 disk formatted in EXT4 which remounted automatically when we accessed to the lost+found folder which is in the root of that disk.
I tried to delete it but I can't. It's a bit annoying because I have to prevent all users and backups to access to that folder.

I have been using ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my Dell Mini 9 for the past few month without any problem; it connects wirelessly to the internet via a wireless router. Yesterday in the middle of web surfing, suddently firefox cannot see any website outside of my home network (Firefox displays Server not found page). No help when I rebooted a few times and connect to my home network via wireless or even wire cable; it can access files in my network file server (DNS-321) but not the internet. My desktop computer running Windows Vista and ASUS media player has no problem accessing the internet.
