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)
Why is there no Delete when I right click like there is with Windows in ubuntu? Pretty much everything else is there like new folder and so on Is there some way to add it? Also why when i delete something does it not ask me if I am sure that i want to delete that file?

There has to be a simple way to do it from terminal, problem is, I can't seem to find the trash directory in terminal.

Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

I need to recover data I saved on this VM, re-installation is the very last resort.
I have 2 hard disks installed in my system, 160 GB and 500 GB. I have using windows 7 installed on the 160 GB disk for past 2 years now and never faced any problem with my HDDs. Now this 500 GB is some problematic one. Remember the 500 gb disks from seagate which was a huge failure, i have that model. I bought it with 3 more of my friends. All other's HDD's crashed again and again except mine. I did some scanning and all with all sort of HDD softwares but all is well, except one soft called HDD health that showed my 500 gb has 48% health. It remain like that for an year, so i stopped worrying about that. I have stuffed my disk with data and never faced any problem up untill now. Now yesterday i decided to install Ultimate edition 2.7 64-bit. I downloaded it and burned the dvd at 4x speed and how i wanted to install it is like the way that it should go into the 500 gb one without having to do anything with 160 gb one having windows 7. I have done this earlier and it caused absolutely no problem. I just change the boot sequence to whatever disk i wanted to log into windows or linux(remember i did that with the same disks). Now i emptied a partition in 500 gb one, deleted it with the help of partition manager inbuild in windows 7, unplugged the 160 gb and booted thru live cd of UEU 2.7 and started the installation. When i got on the partition selection screen, what it showed me was just a 500 gb of "unallocated space", which i s actually healthy 6 partitions containing data which i have been using for years. No traces of the 30 space i unallocated in windows for linux. Now first question, "Why the hell did it not recognized my HDD when its perfectly operational in windows and i have installed UEU 2.5 on it once". It should have shown me the partitions. Does that means that my HDD was having some problem already ?? Now i booted back in windows, reallocated my 30 gb space, emptied some space from a 160 gb HDD's partition and got back into linux, with both HDD's plugged in this time. Now i started the installation. Again it didnt recognized the 500 gb chunk but did recognized the partitions in 160 gb and also recognized windows 7 installation. I formatted the partition with ext 4, didnt provide any partition for swap as i have 4gb ram and changed the boot loader to GRUB. Installation was successful. I can see all the drives from 160 GB one but only one partition from 500 GB one, no traces of other partitions, not even in Gparted. And yeah, the disk was mounted. Now everything was looking fine, i switched back and forth from windows to linux a couple of times, switched off the computer for some time, switched back on and watched a movie and finally shut down properly last night.
Now this morning my brother switched on the PC and it just wonts start. It restarts again and again just after the BIOS screen. I checked everything but couldnt find the problem. So finally i de attached the hardware one by one and found its the 500 GB that was causing the problem. I plugged it out and booted in again. To my surprise, the windows 7 booted in from 160 GB HDD with no traces of linux what so ever. Its was in the same HDD, i installed the common boot loader and have seen it my self when i switch on the pc, showing all linux options first and then windows 7 as other OS. It has nothing to do with 500 GB one, no dynamic partition, no system files or any thing. I suppose that windows 7 cant take back te boot loader without the help of installation disk and i have not used any. There was not even any kind of system recovery installed. Then how the hell windows 7 came back and linux just disappeared. The partition manager shows that the newly created partition for linux as "healthy and primary" partition.
say it once that all this mess was only due to i screw up the installation and my 500 GB is not dead. I will die without my data.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony viao laptop. (not right now 'cause it won't start up). I've been tring to turn it on all evening with no luck. I turn the power on. The first bios screen show the read out and then the Ubuntu icon shows on black screen and then the screen goes black. At that last stage I would have expected to see the brown Ubuntu screen and then the log in screen but it doesn't show up.
Is my hard drive damaged from being shaken around? I carry my laptop in a backpack designed for that and place in my car trunk (carefuly, I don't throw it around like a ball) If the hard drive is damaged, the way do I see the first black Ubuntu srceen on start up? Does Ubuntu burn that on to the bois? I tried starting up from an Ubuntu instalation CD and a Puppy CD and got the excat same results as listed above.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhile upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 using Alternate CD, the OS crashed. I had updated the 9.04 with latest updates and then started the upgradation to 9.10 using a Alternate CD. But after some time, the computer resarted and the screen displayed six line of 9.04 startup line. I waited for ten minutes but nothing happned.
What can be the reason and what should be done in that situation.
I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on April 12th On April 14th I got a screen message advising me to download and install 257 update programs.The download got up to at least program 241. That�s the last one I remember seeing.Then the screen brightened for about one second and I got a message saying that Ubuntu had to be restarted to finish downloading.I restarted and this is the screen I got.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was upgrading to 10.04 through the update manager and my pc froze during the install, and I mean dead stop. It's happened a few times since I've come home from college for the summer, but I thought it was just the game I was playing or something so I wasn't concerned.
Now when I try to boot it gives me errors mounting /media/1 and /media/2 and various other others regarding NTFS (yet linux doesnt use NTFS so I'm confused...). When I hit any button that's not a letter (Esc, Delete, Backspace, etc.) it flashes over to a screen that says 10.04 with 4 dots underneath. Similar to what the loading screen should be, yet obviously not the loading screen.
Is there anyway I can install/upgrade this system through a LiveCD or something similar? I can't boot to Linux at all now, but I can boot to the Windows partition on the same hdd.
I have looked around a bit but I can't even get my head around what to do next.
I attempted to upgrade my headless Ubuntu server from 8.4 LTS to 10.4 LTS last night. I used screen so that I could reconnect because the update said that although SSH may crash, I should be able to get back on via port 9004. When I tried to get back on this morning I could not SSH in via port 22 or 9004, so I did the only thing that I felt that I had left--I rebooted. I have since had to dig out an old monitor and keyboard and put a head on it to try and get this problem resolved.
When I boot the computer, GRUB gives me the option of kernel 2.6.32-21-generic-pae, but when I pick that I get the following error and the Caps and Scroll lights on the keyboard just blink.
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)I next have the option of kernel 2.6.32-21-generic-pae (recovery mode), but when I choose that option I get a screen full of time dated lines that do not make any sens to me and that same previous error message somewhere in the middle of it all.
If I try to boot to any of the old kernels, then I get a screen full of error messages and get dropped to an ash shell, BusyBox v1.13.3
Obviously the computer was in the middle of asking me something very important when I rebooted, but without being able to log in, I was never going to find out what that was. I guess I assumed that it wasn't a big deal because all of this was probably sorted out already as a possible chain of events on a headless server upgrade.
The bottom line is that my server no longer works and I do not have a clue as to how to get it up and going. If you have ever experienced this situation and have gotten through it or you actually do know something about this situation, please help me out.
My server is no longer headless, but I am now definitely clueless.
I installed 10.04 today and so far it has crashed a lot of times.It's not so much of a crash but, the screen goes blank, the top half of the screen keeps flashing with white and black lines hanging vertically.I can't do anything when this happens, I just have to press the tower, and it brings me down to the shutdown screen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA few months ago I did a clean install of the unbuntu desktop which I used to run an internal website. The OS was installed on one hard disk and two other hard disks I setup as a mirrored raid. Now when I start the computer I get a GNU GRUB commandline interface and I can't seem to get my installation up and running again. I've tried some of the suggestions for GRUB issues however I can't even get ls to work (gives me an error).
I am at the point where I don't really care about the OS installation but would desperately like to get the data off the raided disks and also a few files off the boot disk. I can't seem to work out how to do this using a liveCD, if I open the disk utility, select the raid and click "Start RAID array" I get a "Not enough components available to start the raid" error.
For the boot disk the major partition is a Linux LVM partition (and I assume the data I need is on that partition) however I cannot work out how to mount it. I really hope you guys can help me as the information is rather important.

It happened to me again, I guess I need to ignore those updates but somehow I forget each time! This time it froze in middle of update no mouse no kybd no cap/num locks light nothing so I hard booted after an hour of wait, now I cannot boot at all. I go thru Grub menu then it says press S to skip and M to manually load. In most cases nothing works but I got to the prompt and put the root password but I dont have an IP address and cannot get 1? I did fsck -p but no errors. It says the OS is not on / or has been gone?

I can get to a shell (#) and see files on the drive (using ls) so I know the drive hasn't died.
