Ubuntu :: Finding A Program To Store And Retrieve Data?
May 22, 2010
I am looking for a program to help me store, organise and retrieve information. The aim would be to keep notes from literature, concepts and ideas which i come across during my studies. It's always a hassle to retrieve this information when i have to write a paper for instance. So in fact what i need is a sort of wikipedia-like program where information is searchable and where perhaps hyperlinks could lead me from one word/note to another.

I am trying to store the data in my program in a map of priority_queues an I am having a bit of trouble doing it. basically I am storing activities (ie watching tv, eating dinner, playing ping-pong, etc) and I want these event grouped by the day that they happened on.
my first thought was to use a multimap where the key is the date, and the value is the activity, however I would like to keep the activities in a specific order. I have tried to find the proper syntax for this but have frustratingly come up empty. Even google provided little assistance.

I have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.

What I want to do is force my DVD burner to use full writing power on the entire surface of a DVD. This should be able to invisibly damage the contained data, and should work on CDs, DVDs and BRDs too (in theory). I don't want to write data over it, so it's not a matter of having a RW disc or a R one. The result I want to obtain is simply an unreadable disc that does not look damaged. Do you know if there's a program able to ignore a disc being already full and perform this task?

After a prolonged absence, version 4.10, I have started dabbling with Ubuntu again. It was a HDD crashing that sent me down this path. Needless to say, the ability to backup my user data to a second HDD is an important task to me. I'm currently using Back in Time to accomplish this and all is well. However, there is one thing missing. I can't locate my Tomboy Notes data within the file system. I expected to see a "hidden" folder in my /home, but do not. Where this information is stored so I can back it up as well?

I have a laptop that had Windows XP on it - XP crashed out and I couldnt retrieve my data of it, despite booting up in safe mode, it just didnt want to do anything. So i thought i will load ubuntu instead then try and recover my data - bad move. Now my question is, can I still retrieve the windows data of the hard drive despite having Ubuntu installed on the same drive? I know on windows there is an app called File Scavenger that recovers deleted files even after loading a clean slate of Windows on it. Is there something like that for Linux? I had photos on it that has some real sentimental value. The rest of the data I dont care about. Just the photos. I didnt think before I reloaded it.

My son's laptop with Ubuntu on went belly up, so before we dumped it I salvaged the hard disk.....now some weeks later he remembers there is some things he wants on the disk. Luckily I had done nothing with it ....have just connected the disk to my system I can see everything above(should that be below) home but not anything in his account. Any bright ideas for getting at his data is there a way of mass changing permissions or whatever?

I am trying to setup my ubuntu machine to automatically log some data I am trying to collect and write the data to a flash drive. I have everything setup so that when the machine boots up it starts that logging process. The problem I am having is that sometimes (not always) ubuntu creates a directory with the same path that I expect my flash drive to mount to i.e., /media/data/ then my flash drive instead mounts to /media/data_/. I need to know the path of the flash drive so I can store my data on it.

I am trying to make use of the perl module WWW::Nike::NikePlus to retrieve the data from my ipod but apparently I have no idea what I am doing. I installed the package just as the readme said including all the dependencies. I cant really figure out how to run it, i searched for how to use it and found this : Example use that retrieves and prints your last run information
use WWW::Nike::NikePlus;
my $username = 'my@email.address';
my $password = 'MySecretPassword';
my $locale = "en_us";
my $pin = nike_authenticate( $username, $password, $locale );
unless( $pin ) { print "Authentication failed
"; } .....
#Details of the last run
my ($unit, $last_run_dist, $last_run_duration_millisecs,
$last_run_duration_friendly, $last_run_pace_friendly) = nike_last_run();
print "Last run: $last_run_dist$unit in $last_run_duration_friendly
";
print "Last run pace: $last_run_pace_friendly per $unit
";
So I put it in a txt file and saved it with the extension .pl and of course I put in all my info in the username password fields then made it executable with the command sudo chmod +x nikeplus.pl and when I try to run it with either ./ or perl I get this output:
brandon@desktop:~/Apps/nikeplus$ ./nikeplus.pl
./nikeplus.pl: line 1: use: command not found
./nikeplus.pl: line 2: my: command not found
./nikeplus.pl: line 3: my: command not found

./nikeplus.pl: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I should have seen this coming when I lost the ability to boot windows, or mount that drive from ubuntu. But now I think my hard drive has failed. Is there any way to retrieve the data from the hard drive, or my settings and the like for ubuntu? I'm at a loss for what to do as i'm booting from a CD right now =X.

I am writting a program that reads a text file (music.txt) & stores it in a Data Structure. I am a novice learning over the internet so I this is something I have never done. How do I do this?
Quote:
Write a program that reads the data from the music.txt file and store it in a data structure. To implement this data structure you must use an array of songs and each song must be represented by a struct with appropriate fields. So far all I can do is open to file to read it (very simple I know) but so far is it correct?
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <strstream>

My wifes computer, IBM desktop, running XP, was hit by malware. I managed to save the data and tarred it and copied to a USB memory stick using my Linux box Ubu 9.1). I checked and saw it had been truly saved. Two days later I put stick in USB port and it was not recognized (usually any hot plugable device shows up immediately on desktop). I have tried plugging it into a windows machine and nothing was found. We are both very desperate at this apparent loss but because something similar happened with an Iomega zip disk.

I was using 9.10 Ubuntu and was going to update to 10.??. Being an intelligent person, I made four (4) backups of KMyMoney on different diskettes and thumb drives. Now, the problem, after reinstalling my O/S (new version) I reinstalled KMyMoney and found out that the newer version of KMM will not read the data I have backed up.What I need is a way to obtain an older copy of KMM so I can retrieve my data. Then I can update.

My computer has broken and I cannot login. I don't know what caused it.
I am using Fedora 14 and so it is easy to retrieve my files with the Fedora 14 installation disk under the 'restore' option. I cannot however, work out how to retrieve my MySQL data.
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this matter?

I have a fully up-to-dateCentOS 5.6. As of some very recent package update (later than May 12), sound-juicer is unable to retrieve track data for any disc; it just reports "Unknown Title" and "Unknown Artist".
Unfortunately I do not know how to tell which particular package it was, or even how to get a list of recently-updated packages.
Tracks are still extracted fine, it's just the musicbrainz connection which is doa.
I'd be happy to try an alternative program with musicbrainz capability, but couldn't find any. The installed k3b doesn't have any ripping options in the tools menu, where I gather it's supposed to be.

In what files/dirs in the home dir does xfce store the user config data?
Or if you like.
What files do I need to restore from backup in order to restore my xfce desktop with all the different settings I made?
Edit: All user config files is usually stored somewhere in /home/$USER/. And since all the programs, kde, xfce and gnome stores their config there, this question is about what files belong to the xfce desktop.
This is my guess of what files belong to the xfce desktop:
.config/Thunar/
.config/xfce4/
.config/xfce4-session/
.config/user-dirs.dirs
[Code]....

(Logger pro is an app to retrieve data from scientific calculators/ instruments) I've always wanted to ask this question so here it goes... Has anyone gotten Logger pro (Linux beta) to work w/ Fedora? I have tried alien the two .deb packages to .rpm's so it becomes installable.. The installation seems fine, But the app doesn't run (I think it was like segmentation fault or something... I don't remember) anyways.. this is not absolutely important. I'm just wondering if this may be a problem w/ my install.

I have never used Linux before and know nothing about it . But my cousin installed a Fedoro linux CD on my laptop which previously had Lotus symphony . Unfortunately my laptop had single partition and so Linux overrode the old OS ,ie lotus symphony .
I have some critical data on my hard disk but I have no clue how to take backup this data using Linux . I desparately need this data .
Could somebody let me know how I can access this data and take the backup ?
