just need to know how to access the directory. I have some downloaded skins and models I would like to add to the Alien Arena skins and models folders. I entered path into the game terminal and it showed me the path to get to the folders /home/joanna/.config/Alien-Arena/Data 1 and so I went to home > user folder and there is no .config...then I did a file search and the search came back with 0 results. what do I do.
View 4 RepliesRecently I mounted a larger partition into my home directory since I was running out of space, Everything went smoothly, but it caused me to wonder about something I cant figure out. While playing with the mount unmount commands when I was copying everything over... before editing my fstab.
Is there a way to access the files that existed in a directory before you mount a partition to that directory? after mount the original files are gone.unmount and they are back, Where do they go?
I'm using Mac OS X's Terminal.app shell to compile and run Fortran programs. One such program resides outside of my home directory (it is in the Applications folder, which resides on my hard drive but seems to be outside of my home folder). How can I navigate into this directory using Terminal.app to run the programs that reside there?

I have a small problem with my Acer netbook (ao521) on which I dual boot windows7/ubuntu. I am new to linux and I didn't know much about dual booting so I made some errors when pratitioning and installing ubuntu (originally I had windows 7 only) but that is another issue.
The problem is that I accidently wiped the /C partition of win7 thereby deleting windows (). I had made a backup since I knew something like this could happen and I saved it in /home so now it is in /home/backup. Here it gets interesting though..I tried recovering Windows (with the built-in Acer eRecovery) and apparently this messed up Grub so I couldn't boot ubuntu..Now, I don't have a problem installing windows from scratch and then installing ubuntu afterwards (I have learned my lesson and I think I would do it right this time), but there is one folder, which contains some valuable documents and I want to access it and save the documents on a USB drive.
So, I ran ubuntu from the live cd(usb) and I mouned the /home partition (of my previous installation) and I tried accessing the backup folder that I made earlier but it said that I do not have such permission. I did some searching arround and I found out that I should mount the partition as root and copy the contents of the folder from the terminal. So far so good, but when I wrote
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda9
it said that no such mounting point is available in /etc/fstab.
It occured to me that I could use the data in the initial /etc/fstab (from the initial ubuntu installation) and insert what I need in the current fstab. I did that but when I write /home as mounting point it apparently confuses it with the current /home so that doesn't help.
Well my question is: how can I edit fstab so I would be able to mount the partition and use it or is there any other way to access the folder in question.
How to access the download directory

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried upgrading to 10.04, and now when it boots it just goes into a grub2 terminal and doesn't display a boot menu. I tried re-installing grub2 from the live cd, but that didn't do anything. I figured if I've hosed the last install I'll install from scratch, but I can't even access my files from the live cd! I did a bit of searching and everyone seems to just encrypt ~/Private, whereas I've encrypted the whole home directory. So much for security... In the live cd, it has a readme.txt and says to type "ecryptfs-mount-private" to access the files, but it just gives the error "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly". What do I do?

Apple says it will cost around $800 or more to fix, we wont be paying that, Ill be finding a logic board or service somewhere online now that our warranty is shot and going that route.But before I send the macbook off anywhere I need to pull some data off the HDD. I was able to plug the HDD into my Linux box(internally, I dont have an external enclosure). I was able to mount the drive and copy the directories I wanted to the HDD on my linuxbox.
But Im unable to to access the directory from the terminal or from the file browser, I get an access denied message. Because I know the username and password for the macbook is there a way I can use that to gain access to the directories?Google got me this far, but when I googled "access locked directory ubuntu" or any variation of that with the terms linux and osx thrown in there for good measure.
I am in need of a rather complicated permissions scheme for particular directory. I have a directory /data I want the group developers to have read and execute access to this directory.

And I have a third group, operations I want operations to be able to read /data but not be able to read /code Is this permissions scheme possible in linux?

Typically I would use 2> /dev/null to handle output suppression but in this case it prevents the variable assignments.

Apparently after an upgrade, I lost access to my encrypted home directory. Looks like upgrade scripts changed the scripts that mounted my encrypted home directory. As I don't have my ecryptfs password handy, is there any way to revert the things back as they were? I have liked Ubuntu all the way but after this upgrade-mess-up, I might change my view.

I had errors pop up when I tried updating my 10.10 to 11.04 so I ended up having to do it from a Live USB which installs it over everything (fine by me).Unfortunately I forgot I had an encrypted /home directory. So various messages and stuff came up when I tried to log in.nfortunately I don't remember what my encryption passphrase is offhand, so I moved it to a slightly different folder name and had to have a new directory created for my username.It's still there, but how can I try to open it trying the various versions of the passphrase I think it may be?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a server running Ubuntu server edition with SMB server all set up and running. I've set up the main root of the drive to be shared and I've set up a user in /etc/samba/smbusers to say root = "joeflood" so I can sign in as root using the username "joeflood". This works and I have read/write access to the filesystem (yay!). However, if I browse to /home/javawag (my main user home directory), I no longer have write permissions! I can see all the files in there and read them no problem, but writing is a no-go. I'm logged in as root though?! Btw, I can login via SSH and create folders/etc as root in the /home/javawag folder, and they showed up in the SMB mount on my mac too.

For example, imagine this user has a HUGE error.log file (500 MB) located in /var/www/example.com/logs/error.log
When accessing this file using FTP, this user needs to download 500 MB to view the last lines of the log, but I'd like him to be able to execute something like this:
