Ubuntu :: Files Location That Computer Probes To Regenerate Menu?
Nov 20, 2010
I recently forced a reset on my applications menu, this system has been updated since at least Intrepid all the way through to Maverick and so I have decided to start having a bit of a clean up. Having deleted my ~/.config/menus directory and logged out/in, I noticed that I now have a menu for 'Other' within my applications menu, there must be around 200 entries in there, detailing every app I have ever installed through wine (whether they are still installed or not) along with a few others (VMWare player for one example).
Where are the files located that the computer probes to regenerate this menu? I'd like to clear the list as much as possible as the same list gets in the way when choosing what program a file should be opened with (it's far easier to choose from a list of currently installed apps than a list of 300 or so possibly installed apps).

I want to add an app to an xfce menu, but I cannot find the .destop files. I tried the how-to at he xfce site, but it refers to ~/.config/menus, but I do not have that and I can find none of the .desktop files anywhere in my home directory.So, where the heck are the files I need to modify?

I have copied my system to new hdd. Now I would like to generate new grub.cfg file with grub-mkconfig but the file should contain _only_ entries for this new hdd. When I try to do this normally it generates entries for both bootable disk (current and new) but for the new one there is no memtest entries. I would like to generate exactly the same entries as I have for the current disk but referencing to partition(s) on the new one. Should I do it manually? Isn't there any automated method?
And the second one: I'm suprised that there is no "grub" program with its own simple shell when grub2 is installed. Is it replaced by sth?
Now I can see that additional entries generated for new hdd have root set to the old one - it is complete nonsense
Code:
menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (on /dev/sdb3)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
[Code].....

I have recently moved over to opensuse 11.4 (never used any Linux before), I have installed all updates and am using the latest KDE. (I am using a laptop, not sure if this is relevant) I have found using the system fairly easy and found all the help I need either here, or out on the net. However, I cannot find much information about the above error message that I sometimes get. I have only noticed this error occasionally when I resume from sleep mode, or when I turn the computer off. I haven't seen the message anywhere else (pop up window, konsole etc) Sometimes the skipped probes is as high as 70, other times as low as 10. I don't know what it is scanning(?)

I have been having issues with the Firefox browser for the past few months. Firefox version: 3.6.11 Ubuntu x86_64 OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64
Add ons: Flash block, Ad Block+, image block Occasionally on booting up and starting Firefox, the top menu bar, the location bar drop down do not work. Clicking them has no effect. Though I can enter a URL in the location bar, the drop down that gives recently browsed sites is unavailable. Using the keyboard shortcuts for these doesn't work too. So essentially all my browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords are not accessible.
Restarting the browser/system doesn't . Deleting the whole profile folder restores the functionality, though it takes me back to a blank slate as far as my personalisation and browsing history is concerned and everything needs to be rebuilt. Restoring the profile folder causes the issue to reappear. So it appears to have something to do with the profile stored. Would like to look if any one has has similar issues but can't get a hang of how to best describe this or how others would have described it. I am sure you understand how bad it feels when all the history, bookmarks, passwords etc are in a way lost when this happens. Also how and where to post this or search if already similar bug is posted with Ubuntu and Firefox.
P.S: Is there a way to separate the personal info like history, passwords and bookmarks from the profile somehow?

Is there a method at the command line to copy files from one location to another and retain the source files group and user?I'm migrating some MySQL files from one machine to another.I want to back-up the original files in the directory presently. They have owner:group of mysql, some have owner:group root:mysql and so on. To copy them under cli or Nautilus everything changes to root for I execute sudo cp or gksudo nautilus and copy via gui.
Since it is MySQL data I could simply do a dump of the database and restore it on the other machine. But there's about 20 db's and I want to do this via a copy for it will be faster - at least that is what I think.

Whenever I install Fedora other distros don't show up in GRUB. Windows shows up in "other," and I can see the other distro still intact when I run G Parted, but I don't know how to get it to show up in GRUB. Is there a terminal-command in F14 that probes other OS's on the hard drive and restores them to GRUB?

Does anyone know where the Gedit configuration file/s are located?I knowthat the ~/.cache/ contains some information and deleting it removes the most recent documents list in the File menu.However, if I wanted to remove the most recent Find and Replace information which appears in the drop-down box when you choose Find or Replace, what file would I need to remove or edit.

suppose I have a tree structure like this:
/home/mahmood/sim/a/b/file1.cpp
/home/mahmood/sim/a/b/file2.h
/home/mahmood/sim/a/c/file3.txt
/home/mahmood/sim/d/file4.txt
How can I copy all of them to /home/mahmood/sim. So that when I run "ls" in /home/mahmood/sim, I see all files:
file1.cpp
file2.h
file3.txt
file4.txt
Can 'cp' search for all file and copy them in another folder?

I'm trying to install vmware tools in mint.
All goes well until I get to this -
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [usr/src/linux/include]
When installing the vmware tools it says to just hit enter and the default will be used.
Hitting enter just keeps giving me the error message- The path "usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

I'm working on a little bash script for copying files from one location to another, while sending the verbose output of cp to a text file.
how can I append a time stamp to the verbose lines in the log file.
The command:
Code:
cp -fRcp dir1/* dir2/ >> log/$(date +%y-%m-%d)_log.txt
Again, I want to know how I make the time stamp appear in front of the line inside of the log.txt.

I'd like to move a selection of files from all the sub-directories within an overall directory to a single destination. I don't want any of the directory structure, just the files themselves. This is what I tried so far:
mv /dir1/*/igs*.sp3.Z /dir2
There are other .sp3.Z files in the * directories within /dir1 but I just need the ones that start with igs..

We have setup a separate partition to keep our audit files, but I am at a loss to figure out how to redirect the log files to be stored there instead of the default.
I am sure it is a simple matter but I have been unable to locate the information.

Does anybody here know a program (Linux-based or even Windows-based) which permits looking at the files structure of a harddisk in such a way that you can find out what file lies where on the harddisk?To specify further what I mean, back in the DOS days the Norton Utilities would show the distribution of files on a harddisk. It would show the harddisk as row upon row of rectangles, marked as used or not used, and the top left rectangles were the beginning of the harddisk while the lower right were the end of it.Now if a program put some files at the end of the harddisk it was possible to mark the filled rectangles and find out exactly which files were there.

I'm working with a program that uses Open Motif to create all of the widgets, including the Open File dialog box (obviously). However, Open Motif being kinda old-timey, 80's vintage, and for the most part now an abandoned project, it is quite clunky. So, actually what I need to do is to open some files located on my work server. I have already successfully connected to the relevant server directories with Samba, and with programs built with GTK+ (such as GIMP) I can open files across the network because I have created a bookmark in Nautilus, and those bookmarks appear in the Open File dialog box created by GTK+. Now, Open Motif is different: it doesn't see network locations, orNautilus shortcuts. When I type "smb://serveripyadayada" in the search folder, it really doesn't like it and complains. So, what do I do? Can I get somehow Open Motif to open a network location? Or can I do a run-around and place a shortcut in the file system that points to the network location?
