Ubuntu :: Deleting Cached Archives?

May 11, 2010

Would it cause any issues to delete the cached archives from the installed packages? I have almost a gig of space being taken up and would like to get the space back.

General :: Extracting And Then Deleting Archives?

Apr 23, 2011

I have a large number of zip-archives which I would like to extract and then delete, keeping only the extracted files. The files are located in a number of directories and I issued the following command, hoping that it would solve my problem (which it didn't):

Code:find . -name "*.zip" -execdir unzip '{}' ; -deleteWhat happened was that find continued to extract the files as intended, but then it deletednot only the zip-archives but also the newly extracted files.it only affected a portion of the files that I had already backed up.I don't have enough space on my hard drive to extract all the files without simultaneously removing any data and I don't have the energy to go through all the directories one by one manually. Surely there must be a better way. Is there a way to fix the code snippet above so that it works as I intended or is there a better way of doing this?

Ubuntu :: Converting RPM Archives Into Deb Archives?

Jan 12, 2010

I've found a website [URL] that I've downloaded Basilisk II [URL] and SheepShaver [URL] from, I converted both inton deb archive using the command sudo alien, but while they both successfully converted and installed, and show up in the Applications menu, only Basilisk II launches. When I click on the SheepShaver icon, nothing happens. I had this problem with another SheepShaver RPM I downloaded elsewhere. I really want to use SheepShaver to run Mac OS 9 on my laptop, is there something I can do to get it to run?

Ubuntu :: How To Disable Thumbnails (Cached On Disk)

Jul 23, 2011

Apparently, Ubuntu (and Xubuntu) keep copies of all thumbnails ever loaded, cached in ~/.thumbnails. To me, this is creepy and can be bad from a security standpoint. Is there any way to have all thumbnails loaded on-the-fly, but not to have them ever cached on disk? I tried symlinking ~/.thumbnails to /dev/null, but this disabled thumbnails entirely.

Ubuntu Networking :: Low Retention Duration For Cached Addresses By DNSMASQ

Nov 12, 2010

I am experiencing severe DNS delays today, so I tried to install DNSMASQ by following the instructions given on several pages on the web to make it function as a local DNS cache.

The installation was successful, and after editing the configuration files as instructed, I now have a working DNS cache on my computer.

However, it seems that the addresses are not cached for a long time ; for a given domain, the speedup lasts for a few minutes. If I try to access a previously visited domain once more after several minutes, a new (slow) external lookup is made.

Since websites' IP addresses are not changed every five minutes, would there be a way to tell DNSMASQ to keep the IPs in the cache for a long time (several hours at least) ?
This is very important for me because the DNS lag that I am experiencing makes external lookups last 10 to 20 seconds.

Networking :: Set The TTL To 2 Days For All Stuff Cached By Dnsmasq?

Mar 20, 2011

I have 2 questions:

1. How can I set the TTL to 2 days for all stuff cached by dnsmasq?

2. When I go to [URL] from my browser and then execute [URL] the query time returned is > 0 ms. When i execute it again it is 0 as it should be. So is dnsmasq not caching the domains looked up by my browser or what? in /etc/resolv.conf I have only 127.0.0.1 and for the upstream servers I have a different file that is only used by dnsmasq.

Ubuntu :: SADMS Active Directory Cached Logins: Samba 3.4.7 / Kubuntu 10.04.1

Oct 13, 2010

I've been banging my head on this for a week... I finally got AD login working, but I can't get cached logins working. I installed SADMS, let it configure everything, and though I can now login, I still cannot login as my AD username when my machine is not connected to the AD network. I need to be able to login at home, connect to the VPN (if I can ever get that working), then sign on to services at work using my AD username.

Also, I cannot login to local accounts when the system is not connected to the AD network. Plus, home drive mapping is not working, our shares are \FILESERVERuseruser[I]username[I] so this does not work. UPDATE: I installed likewise-open, and now I can't login unless I use the full domain name when logging in via ssh, but I cannot login on the desktop, which is not what I want, now my username doesn't match the previous UID mapping, and my home directory is mapped to /home/likewise-open/DOMAIN/user, instead of /home/DOMAIN/user, like it was before.

OpenSUSE :: Konqueror: Displaying Cached, Not The Online Version Of Pages?

Mar 20, 2010

I'm using openSUSE 11.2/KDE 4.4 and Konqueror is behaving strangely lately. That is, when I click an entry in RSS Now widget, Konqueror opens, but instead of going to the web, it displays the cached version of the page (i.e. from /var/tmp/kdecache-[username]/krun/...).Initially I thought it is related to the widget (RSS Now), but the same thing happened when Konqueror was called by another program (Google Desktop > preferences): it opened the cached version of the page instead of what I've expected (localhost on some port).As I see these things, it seems there is a setting making Konqueror/KDE to preload some pages (I guess it's related to a KDE service). The problem is it subsequently displays the cache, not the online version.

General :: 'clear Out' All The Old/cached Crap From RAM/SWAP To Free Up Space?

Jul 21, 2010

Closest analogy I can compare what I want to, is like the `sync` command, which writes out all stuff in the disk buffers, freeing the buffers.Instead of disk buffers, I want to 'clean out' my RAM and SWAP of any/all junk that's accumulated in there over the time my PC has been up. I've long wondered about this, but never asked, though I recall searching around several times..When I first boot it cold and log in, the memory usage bar on my desktop is near zero, and the swap is empty. But after a week or 2 or 3 or more of uptime, and with Firefox always running with a dozen tabs or so at any given time, I end up with all the memory full or 'filled with cached stuff', and the swap space is filled to capacity.Curiousity: I blame Firefox for leaking memory, but even if that's still the case today (historically it was) can this all be blamed on Firefox? Or what-all causes this, besides Firefox- just..Everything?

Here's current stats:

Code:

sasha@reactor: uptime
21:21:42 up 30 days, 10:07, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.01
sasha@reactor: free
total used free shared buffers cached

[code]...

So, 3.8 of 4 Gib of RAM is occupied, and the 1 Gib swap space is jammed full 100%. This must slow things down to some degree, yes? I mean, the kernel does have to keep track of this, right?Of course closing all the applications doesn't make a difference (not an appreciable one anyhow) and the only way I have found to start fresh is to reboot.

General :: Find The No Of Files Cached At The Time Of Open & Loading Folder?

Feb 5, 2010

when we do enter on a folder it take some time for loading the folder depending on the no of entries in the folder .

SO what i want to know is that what is the MAX no of entries read in advance while opening a folder in linux and also how can we calculate this

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid - /var/cache/apt/archives ?

May 19, 2010

A few releases ago things used to work this way, but seemingly since Jaunty it no longer does seem to work:

This used to work: I have several Ubuntu machines to upgrade and limited (and highly expensive) bandwidth available. In the past I would upgrade/update one machine and copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to the other machines to be upgraded. When updating/upgrading the distro the packages that already exist in /var/cache/apt/archives would not be downloaded from the Internet while utilising the locally cached .deb files, saving time and bandwidth.

The Problem: I have noticed that since 9.10 (and with 10.04) this no longer appears to work. While the .deb packages may exist in /var/cache/apt/archives, the same packages would be downloaded from the Internet regardless of the same .deb file existing in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

Question: What is wrong and how can I restore the functionality present in copying cached packages from machine to machine in order to save bandwidth?

Why I need this to work: At work (and I have no control over this...) we are limited to a total bandwidth of 3Gb per month for multiple users. Needless to say a single upgrade of a recent Ubuntu distro can decimate a large proportion of our monthly available bandwidth. Upgrading multiple machines is absolutely out of the question if the packages have to be downloaded every time.

An apt-cache server is not an option: The option of a local apt-cache server is not feasible due to the same 3Gb bandwidth constraint. An apt-cache server requires 15Gb storage per version of Ubuntu and the downloading/upgrading of 15Gb worth of packages for that storage is not an option due to the 3Gb limitation.

General :: Create Archives Of A Directory Tree On Ubuntu Box?

Oct 29, 2010

Are there any other archiving tools than tar that preserve Linux file permissions and user/group flags? I want to create archives of a directory tree on my ubuntu box. The directory trees are large, a first run with tar cvpzf archive.tgz /home/foo/bar yielded a 5GB archive. I also want to keep all permissions and other flags and special files.I'm fine with a 5GB archive, however to look inside that archive -- since it is a compressed tar archive -- the whole 5GB have to be decompressed first! (Or so it appears when opening it with the archive viewer -- I'm happy to be corrected.)So I need a way to "backup" a directory (tree) while preserving full filesystem attributes and right and creating an archive with an "index" that hasn't to be decompressed for browsing its contents. An archive is either a single file, or a (small) set of files that carries full and complete information within this file/s. That is, it can live on any filesystem (size permitting), it can be burnt onto a DVD, you can split it (after which the point of this question is really lost - but still), ...
