What they don't make clear on most manpages is that you can't simply usebzip2 thisfile.xxx that gives bzip2 free rein to include the original extension in the filename. You must use the -c tag (and better than that, the -c and -k tags, the latter of which leaves the original file untouched post-compression), then -if you wish- the level of compression to apply to a file (in the range of 1-9, with 1 being next-to-no compression and 9 the highest level of compression), followed by the filename/s to compress, then after a single space, a right-hand carat (">"), then another single space and the name you want to give the compressed bzip2 file, remembering to add the extension ".bzip2" (no quotes) to your filename.
Sounds pretty obvious, doesn't it? Well, I thought so too once I read a particular manual page and reasoned it out. Then I remembered the 15 or so minutes it took me to Google myself to that manpage, and I decided it was good Net citizenship to put up a little step-by-step like this one on an appropriate forum on which I was already a registered member.
It isn't just the C++ heads or the Python jockeys who need things broken down to their simplest bits for them from time to time. Newbies and near-newbies do, too. I took it as read that was the reason for this subforum, so here I went.

Brasero simply don't even see the CD-RW to even blank it, let alone burn the new iso file. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. As I have Debian 6 (gnome and KDE) I tried the same CD-RW, but neither Brasero, nor KDE's K3B 'saw' the CD-RW.But, the in that Vista, the CD/ISO burning software 'saw' the CD-RW without fail. Btw, this same problem happens with Unetbootin. Linux Unetbootin works worse than the Vista Unetbootin!Now, I have to use Vista to burn CD/DVD/Isos.Is there a some special problem with Linux burning software? I know that some developers are not happy with Brasero,

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have tried a few packages but cannot find an easy intuitive interface for editing tables in a mySQL database. I just need to simply edit the table field data, import and export multiple rows, and filter the table data so only the rows are returned based on a string that I search for. The tables I edit have several thousand rows and some up to 30,000. I do not know how to write queries and it seems all these packages require that you know how to write sql queries to do what I need to do. On the mac I used Sequel Pro, which is dead easy to use and is mostly point and click to do all the above. Since my mySQL experience is very limited, I really need something simple like this.
I have tried:
MySQL Workbench
Navicat (lite version)
MySQL Query Browser
how to do what I need to do with the above packages.
Is there anyway I can go back to the old grub where I can do things like removing and reordering my menu simply with 9.10 and Lucid when it comes out?

I have an ubuntu machine connected to my network which is used as a Minecraft server, storage, and a subsonic server for music. For the most part, the only person using these services, especially during downtime, is just me at home. Which is why I'm surprised that 2-days ago I detected that my network was being slowed to a crawl. There I found that the ip connected to my ubuntu was moving around 170,000 kb on my Netlimiter 3 program.
I have no idea why that is, I closed my ports that were forward for the ubuntu servers, but the bandwidth keeps leaking. Disconnecting the network from the ubuntu computer or turning off the computer stops the odd downloading and uploading. If anybody would have any information of what I can check or shut down in Ubuntu, please let me know. I'm fairly a beginner to the OS, but haven't been able to find a similar problem on this forum.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi'm having hard times trying to get rtorrent working on two CentOS boxes (one is 5.2 and the other 5.3, both x86_64)
i'm using rtorrent RPMs provided from rpmforge
they install fine, starts fine ... but there's simply absolutely no traffic at all !!! I'm sure ISPs are not blocking torrent (they can be shapping, but blocking i'm pretty sure they arent). And when i say there's no traffic, i mean rtorrent cant even download the torrent file when i inform the [URL] from inside rtorrent. It stays there on 0% and there's no download.
if i download the file from the console, with wget for example, i can download it successfully.
i have already tcpdumped the machine and i can confirm rtorrent is not even generating any kind of traffic. NOTHING.
do anyone got rtorrent from rpmforge working fine on CentOS 5.2 and 5.3 x86_64 boxes ?
it should be simply .... at least it was on Fedora 8 and 9 that i used before start using CentOS ...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a linux desktop with two connections - fast eth0 and slow modem ppp0. Most of traffic (e-mail, DNS, NTP) can be routed simply by IP/mask. But how about http and p2p (torrents, DC++)? Routing by IP is unacceptable, because there is very huge amount of routing rules. I need route http packets (80 port) through ppp0, p2p through eth0 (10000:65535 ports). I've found that splitting traffic by port is possible with marking packets for different gateways. For begin I cleared all tables and bringed up connections.

I recently installed Debian with the Xfce desktop environment on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and my Synaptics touchpad simply does not work. In fact, it was not even working in the Debian graphical installation.
I verified that the touchpad is enabled by going to Applications --> Settings --> Mouse and Touchpad. I also verified that I had the requisite drivers by running Code: Select allsudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Finally, /var/log/Xorg.0.log did not reveal anything unusual, though the output is quite long and was difficult to navigate. Here is the output of Code:
Select allcat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Synaptics:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have all my music stored as digital files on my hard drive, in a tree of folders. The smallest branches of the tree represent individual albums, each holding a dozen or so individual song files. I have Amarok 2.0.2 installed on Kubuntu 9.04. The program opens as expected, and using the "Files" tab in the left pane I can navigate to any sub-directory I want. I can see the listings of songs within each album's sub-directory.
But I cannot figure out how to make Amarok play those songs. Drag and drop from the left pane into either the center pane or right pane does nothing. Right-click and "Append to Playlist" does not appear to do anything -- the "Playlist" tab in the left pane remains empty, and the center and right panes remain empty. I've tried to find the answer in the on-line Amarok manual, but the documentation only seems to take me to the point of finding the songs in the left pane, but not how to make Amarok play them.
In Iceweasel (Debian's name for Firefox) within the Preferences you can select "Load images automatically". I have this unchecked, because I use dial-up and prefer not to have to waste time with images. However, for some sites it's sometimes useful to load the images. So, I'm wondering if there is a way to simply load the images for a site that is easier than what I currently do (which is: going to Edit-Preferences-Content, rechecking "Load images automatically" then pressing Reload). In short, is there a way to have a button somewhere that I can press that will simply load the images for the current site while I can still have the "Load images automatically" preference box unchecked?
