View 8 RepliesI've been facing this problem of locking up files, I've three users in my system, I can't lock a folder but just can hide it by appending . in front of file. Is there any tool/software in linux to lock a file, so other users cannot even open/see. I tried with chmod options but didn't work?

Attached to it is an external hard drive (personal) that I would like to either encrypt or either make invisible tave ubuntu on my personal laptop.Could I make it ext4 and unviewable by Mac or PC or something along those lines so that nobody just goes through my (personal) stuff by just logging in and going on the desktop? I'm looking for something that will still allow me to access them fairly easily such as file permissions or something. I don't wanna put it into a zip file or a password protected rar file. I know nothing is 100% but I at least want a layer of security.

I have a web site [URL], could someone with experience please check this web site to see if the PHP files are hidden (and therefor my PHP code can't be seen). If they can be seen then how do I hide the PHP files?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to hide some folders in Ubuntu Linux which are always hidden in Windows through File/Folder Attributes (attrib -h)
It is not an option for me to rename the folder from let's say "Ancient texts directory" to ".Ancient Texts Directory" because the programs associated with these files and shortcuts will not work in Windows. I would like to make the folder hidden by not renaming the folder. Is that so hard to ask?
Is there really no other way of making a folder or a file hidden in Linux just like in Windows by Applying Attributes? I Don't want to rename it by putting a dot in front of it. Moreover renaming a file by putting a dot in front of the name changes the position the folder appears in the list view. For some people this may be ridiculous, but for me with a few hundred files and folders and subfolders, this organisation is important, aside from the aforementioned reasons.
I need to maintain compatibility between the two operating systems' basic folder structure as i must use both Operating systems.
I just moved my bottom panel to the right side of the screen and set it to auto-hide., The panel hid it'self but will not un-hide when I move the mouse to the edge of the screen... I tried to re-boot, but the panel is still "stuck"Is there an easy way to fix this? Or will I have to manualy delete the panel and make a new one

When I finish all the installation I start to try to find the old data files but I din't find, (/dev/hdb), the hd is mounted already, but when I look inside all files are hide.

Running The GNOME Panel 2.30.0, and since I'm using Avant Window Navigator, I'd like to hide the last panel.
I want to keep the shortcuts (like alt+f1, f2, etc...) so killing it isn't what I need.
I've been looking around but I always end up getting a 1px panel on top. Anyone has any suggestions for this?
I got a problem with the bar on my desktop. I have WOW installed on my Vista drive, so I just copied the files into my Ubuntu drive. They startup fine, but the bar ( upper bar ) woun't hide when it starts. In windows you don't see the bar when you play a game. This is very annoying. I am, a complete noob in Ubuntu. Is there a simple soulution to this?

Do not confuse with hiding something from the menu - i want to hide a partition.
according to aplay -l my computer (a Dell Dimension 5000) should have an IEC958:

But where? There's nothing on the backside of the computer nor on front, I cannot find SPDIF on the mainboard itself either.
I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-s7915 notebook with a 17" screen. The maximum screen resolution is 1440x900, and I have to run at that resolution because lower settings just occupy less monitor space. What is means is that the image shown is still the same size, but in a smaller area. Of course print is not too big as a result. FireFox at least gives me a zoom-in and zoom-out capability when using Ctrl and either the + or - key, so that helps. But the mouse is rather small, maybe a 1/16" width. And sometimes it is hard to locate on the screen. Since the mouse pointer and the cursor positions can be in separate areas, seeing one does not help with finding the other.
Anyway, I have found that a search for a hard-to-see mouse can take a lot of mouse jiggling about, and it helps to have some place on the screen that behaves differently if the mouse passes over it. That pop up task bar that VirtualBox adds when the client is in full screen mode works pretty good for this, but if you don't know where the mouse is, then trying to move it over the pop up task bar locaton is a guessing game. I found a better way, and thought I might pass this along. You don't know where the mouse position is? Press the right mouse button. A choice of things to do pops up, and where it is, so is the mouse. In fact the mouse is in there to make a choice, and is easy to see now. Now you just take the mouse where you want to go, and you have survived another crisis.

I understand that you must edit it in either 'menu.lst' or '30-os-prober' files.
The entry is a little like this... (?)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and have come across a strange bug, where after using Ubuntu for a while, the launcher suddenly appears and will not hide. This occurs when my mouse is no where near the launcher. I have a duel screen display.
This is very annoying as the launcher appears above the windows I am working on as shown in the screenshot:

I have tried changing the launcher hide options in ccsm but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment it is set to autohide.
So I can't seem to get my launcher to work right after a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04. No matter what I do, I can't get my launcher to hide. I went into ccsm, and under ubuntu unity plugin I tried all four options under the hide launcher menu (never, autohide, dodge windows, dodge active windows) - nothing gets it to hide! The launcher covers up a good chunk of whatever window is open (i.e. a website, or more importantly, the back and forward buttons in chrome). In unity 2D, I don't have this problem. I also saw that when I enabled and disabled the unity plugin, I got this error when I re-enabled.I tried resolving the conflicts favoring the unity plugin, and when that didn't work, the desktop wall.
