I am not sure what to google on this noob question.In windows, i have c: drive and can create folders where i can place my files or install software to.So in ubuntu, where should have my own files placed to? say software like tomcat and liferay or custom folder.
View 4 RepliesI have a project folder that I pass back and forth between my desktop and laptop via Samba. Both are running Debian. The folder is large. I would like to be able to change a few files in the folder on my desktop and then "update" the folder on my laptop without having to pass the entire folder back over the network.

I am an Ubuntu refugee. Allow me to explain what happened. I am dual booting with Windows 7 and F15 x64.
(1) I wanted to created a shortcut of my "Documents" folder in my Windows in Nautilus
(2) I opened the Windows drive by double clicking the drive under Devices, and navigated to my "Documents" folder (F15 already has ntfs-3g installed so no hassles there)
(3) I then dragged the folder to the sidebar to place it under the Trash icon--but for some reason, it would not let me do this, and accidentally got placed in the Trash bin.
(4) problem is I can't see this folder in the Trash bin (it is not even hidden)
(5) To check if the Trash bin actually captures items when we move files/folders to Trash, I tried sending a folder from my Home directory to Trash, and the folder appears in the Trash; it can even be restored to Home.
(6) Only files/folders from the NTFS formatted Windows drive do not appear in the Trash folder if sent there.
(7) I have Google searched this problem, but to no avail.
(8) I even thought that because the drive is not mounted 'officially' I would mount it using command line:
Code:
(9) But still I can't see the folders in the Trash
(10) Interestingly, when I try to unmount the Windows drive 'formally' then I get a message if I want to "empty the Trash"--I obviously chose not to--so I know there is my Windows Documents folder in there somehere.
Is there a way to combine multiple folders into one "folder" similar to the way that Windows7 does Libraries? That way movies, for instance, would be able to be distributed on multiple drives, but appear in one place, when wanted. sort of like mounting multiple folders on on one mount point.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe Problem was I wanted to open my /home/Pictures folder and have it display the contents of the My Pictures folder in my windows partition. This way I could have ubuntu and xp using the same set of music files, picture files, etc. I was having a very hard time understanding how to get from here to there because I'm such a newbie. However I have discovered how to do it and I wanted to post it, in hopes it will make things easier for other newbies.This allows me to see every TYPE of document in /dev/sda8/Media (windows My Documents folder) without having to see any of the folders (My Music, My Pictures, etc).

There's no information on a thing that can seem so simple - file transfer via Wi-Fi.I can imagine it similarly to how Bluetooth does it (or Wi-Fi spot search which is already implemented), but no, it requires complicated LAN setup.What I want is an easy cross-platform solution to transfer files via Wi-Fi.

I have an Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 virtual machine using VirtualBox on my Windows 7 system.
Up until now I have been doing all my development within the Ubuntu environment but unfortunately, I don't like it. I want to move back to Windows, which is much more familiar to me but I would still like to access the virtual box like a virtual server as it is already set up with Apache, PHP, Pear, Git etc...
How can I make the two work in harmony? I essentially want to be able to start the VM and connect to it as if it was a server machine somewhere on my network, without having to actually buy another machine to put on my network.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what to do, but I just rescued photos and documents using ubuntu live cd, gddrescue and photorec. The data carving went fine and I was able to move all of my recovered jpg's into a recovery/jpg folder, as well as my word doc's into a recover/doc folder. I also have recovery/video and recovery/audio. Now here's my problem...
I used the right-click "safely remove drive" from the ubuntu interface and then unplugged my external drive. I then tried to view the recovered photos, etc on my windows 7 desktop, but when I plug in the external drive I get an error and a prompt to "format the drive" so that windows can use it.
I plugged the external drive back into my failed laptop and with the ubuntu live cd can see the drive, but none of the folders display. I can cd "change directories" to all of the folders using a terminal, but still can't see them outside of the terminal. That is, with the ubuntu interface. I'm just trying to finish up recoverying these photos, which I thought I had done.
I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.5. I am trying to browse to the Windows machines on my network (Places > Network Servers > Windows Network), but I get a blank window. I am able to ping the Windows machines using their IP address, but not by their name.

So far I have tried starting SMB (via System > Administration > Server Settings > Services). I have also tried changing my smb workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (the default was mygroup which did not match my Windows machines.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to add a "play to" menu in the context menu in nautilus like in windows 7? For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: When you right click a media file (avi/mp3/mkv etc) in windows 7, it lets you select "Play to" and then lists all upnp/dlna devices on the network, and the amazing thing is that when you select a device, the media file is actually played on that device! It would be so much easier to select a file and then "play to" my xbmc htpc, than to move the video to the htpc and then index it and then browse for it on the htpc and then remove it after I've seen it...
I couldn't find anything about a feature like that...? There must be someone else, beside me, that would love a feature like that? I know I can install ushare and stream that way, but the big difference is that the movie is started from my computer and not on the xbox, htpc, tv, av-reciever or what you use to watch movies over the network! It would make it so much easier! Setting up sharing, and then adding them to what you use for playback and then finally browse to your movie and selecting play is just not worth it when you know how much easier it can be done using "play to" for a few movies.
