View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to (via bash script) set a custom directory icon for a number of directories. All of these directories contain a "cover.jpg" image. I can accomplish this manually by right clicking the directory > select "Properties > click the directory icon button > select the "cover.jpg" image. I am just looking for the way to do this in the terminal to save time, as the music collection is quite large.

View 9 Replies View Relatedin the command line there's a button (tab) for autocompleting commands and I'm pretty sure linux has a button that prints the last directory I used/typed whatever?

How to add user through command line..??i used "useradd" and "passwd" and created an account but i can't login to it...
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a problem about user permission, I just destroy my user...So, I create a new one. But I can't have the permission to use "sudo" or to install program... So, I cannot do a lot of thing in my computer. The logical solution is to boot in failsafe mode and access to the root terminal, but, I don't know how to change the permission to allow me to use sudo.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am implementing a strategy to organize my data among the several machines I work with and thought that getting some ISO images out of it could be a good idea because that way data would be 'read only' thus allowing for easier synchronization.
At first I thought of using the "dd" command to create the ISO out of a directory, but it fails code...
So, I have two questions:
Is the ISO 'format' capable of storing complex directory structures with long filenames (pretty much as any Linux filesystem does), or are there some inherent limitations?
Supposing the ISO format is not constrained, which command would allow me to create an ISO file out of a directory?
Need explanation from a FTP guide's reference of FTP's GLOB command.
mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees of files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) archive of the subtree (in binary mode). Then FTP does not transfer, even with mput, a directory of files to remote server?
Does this quote suggest I can tar my files, upload them, then untar them on the remote server?

I have just installed the 32bit and 64bit versions of CentOS 5.5 and was wondering how I can add these machines to Active Directory for authentication. I've done this in the past with CentOS 5.4 using the GUI and everything worked just fine but now need to do everything from the command line.

I am using a minimal version of 9.04 with openbox.
I adjusted some settings in the desktop settings folder in KDE. I had only one user account on the machine. Next time I rebooted I could not log into KDE (it kept bombing out). I had to log into the console. Finally I managed to create a new account with useradd but this user cannot sudo
My problem is that my home directory is encrypted, so I need a new user with sudo privileges to delete all the kde files and folders in my original users home directory so that I can start with a new KDE setup (which won�t be a bad thing since I tinkered a lot).
How can I add sudo privileges to the new account (I presume I can do it by logging in with my sudo account in a terminal login?
I'm trying to set up an unprivileged user on some field systems running 11.04 with the standard Gnome shell (rather than Unity), and ideally that user would not have access to the command line. The user can log in through GDM (but not the text consoles) with no password, so I need to provide the absolute minimum of privileges; basically the user should only be able to run one program.
I've already set the /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_command_line key with gconf-editor for that user, which successfully disabled the "Run Command" dialog. Unfortunately, even though the description of the key in gconf-editor says "prevents the user from accessing the terminal...", the terminal emulator is still accessible from the Applications menu, and I haven't been able to find a good way of disabling the terminal or removing it from the menu. The only thing that occurs to me is an ugly hack: replace the gnome-terminal binary with another that checks to make sure the user is not the unprivileged one and then starts gnome-terminal.
I am learning about group and user management with Fedora and can change the user's group using the usermod command but did not know if there was a command to see the group currently associated with the user.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question, is there a system user management app that could be accessed via a website for red hat (or really any distro)? Something kinda like phpMyAdmin, but can do useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc. For remote admins who don't know how to use ssh or the command line.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am currently interning at a place and my job is to essentially learn UNIX. My supervisor gives me problems here and there to help guide me with my learning but for the most part I'm doing this all by self-teaching myself. Needless to say I have run into a few obstacles...for instance-Create a *one* line command that, using tar, will collect the full /usr/local directory (you need to run this as root again) and copy the whole /usr/local structure under /optFor example /usr/local/bin/hello will become /opt/local/bin/hello, etc. I want this as follows:1. /usr/local is collected by tar, but the output of this tar command is its stdout.. what you get from the previous stdout, you compress with gzip and send it to stdout again 3. get this output and decompress with gzip.. get this output and pipe to tar in a way that will extract the tree under /opt.If anyone knows how I could go about doing this, please let me know, or at the very least point me in the right direction. What I've got so far (which could be completely wrong) is:tar cvf - usr/local/ | gzip -c - | gunzip -c - | tar xvf -in theory I feel like this should work (except for extracting the tree under /opt...i'm kinda stuck there)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have read many articles by eminent Linux users who laugh off, when they are asked "is a command line knowledge necessary"?. They go on to say that Linux Distros have evolved so much that the GUI is sufficient! I use my Win.desktop for 1)checking the news, 2)checking my e-mail, 3)writing a blog, 4)Listening to music, and 5)since i am a consultant physician, with specialization in diabetology,keeping up with the trends by visiting a few professional websites! So, my needs are few!Which Distribution would you suggest to a completely Linux-ignorant person,and that's me!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI work with a Debian Squeeze on my laptop and I have a 160GB external hard disk. My hard disk was formatted FAT32, but I decided to format it using ext2. I formatted it using fdisk from command line and everything went well. Unfortunately, when I mount my hard drive(which is auto-mounted from Debian) it has got root both as owner and group. Then I can't write to it because I have no permission to do that. Is there a setting to create an ext2 partition which has as owner the logged system user in order to have right permission every time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing the most recent -current/13.37, I'm curious if there is a New Right Way to suspend as a regular user from the command line, now that we've got PolicyKit/ConsoleKit running the show. I've seen some things (e.g., on the Archlinux wiki) that seem to come close, but require UPower. For some reason I can't wrap my head around the PolicyKit documentation well enough to figure this out.
My old solution was to add a line to /etc/sudoers giving anyone in the power group access to pm-suspend, pm-hibernate, and shutdown, and this is probably what I'll end up doing with 13.37.
