Is there an easy way of copying just new photos from the SD card onto the computer and avoiding duplicates even if the file name changes?
Currently my partner will occasionally copy the files from the SD card onto the computer and then rename then. Then when I try to see which photos to bring across I can't do it.
I use Dropbox to store the photos.
You probably own a simple camera and know that it usually stores the pictures using an ever-incrementing counter as part of the filename. so you have filenames of the sort <code><counter>.<extension>.
Say now that you have pictures from your last trip along with some earlier pics from a previous trip. assume also that the older pictures have all been transferred to the pc but you still keep them in the camera for whatever reason...
So coming back from the last trip you only want to back up the latest pics, and you want to do this through your console and not through some window manager.
What's been puzzling me is to find a quick way to cp ONLY the latest pics.
My options include:
- Use 'find' command with regex. not really helpful when regex start getting really long (indeed regex doesn't seem to be particularly useful with filenames that contain an incr. counter value - correct me in i'm wrong)
- Use find command with the 'mtime' option and copy every day of the trip individually.
- Wildcards are not really an option since don't want to copy everything.
- There doesn't seem to be a quick way to let bash know that i want to copy, say p8957.jpg to p9234.jpg through some sort of list or smth)
- A for loop in bash would be a solution but i would like to avoid it.
- Mc commander would also be a solution but i would prefer again a pure console solution..
Is there a way to quickly (=with little typing) create a list of the files that i want and let the cp command use it?
I need a tool that will enable me to manage files and other operations from another computer, access to my server. VPS and other host they usually provide cpanel and other webadmin app to do that.
I need advices on the followings:
1. FTP, allow me to access to my folder, like a web host
2. Access to config the server settings
3. Probably a GUI similar to cpanel

When we first used it a week ago I was able to connect the camera via USB and copy the files to my laptop. Today I went to clear some more files to make room for shooting the movie and nothing shows up when the camera is attached to the laptop. I can view the files on the camera so they do exist.
I have tried:Using different usb ports Using a different computer Using an SD Card Reader on both computers Investigating permissions via terminal (the camera seems to be set to RWX Checking that no one has played with the settings on the camera Nothing has changed on the camera or the laptop as far as I can see and yet the files are not showing up.
Camera Model: HD-C2 2.7" LCD 12MP
Ubuntu Version: 9.10 Karmic Koala
I have a Sony Camera Model DCR-IPE PAL. I have a firewire card on the computer, as well as an AV output connection.
I do not have a TV card.
I was wondering whether it was possible to capture video using my computer?
I'm working with two systems (mine and somebody else's) trying to print photographs -- trying is the right word, too. Both boxes are Slackware 13.0, both printers are H-P Photosmarts (a 3210 and a C4680), both systems have the latest and greatest HPLIP and CUPS software installed and both print everything else just fine. Photographs? Well, nuts: can't figure out how to get an image printed on standard 4x6 stock (meaning: fit or fill the image to the stock). Been fiddling with HPLIP settings, CUPS settings, fooling around with GIMP, twiddling everything I can come up with and there is no joy in Mudville to be had. About as close as I've gotten to, you know, a printed photograph that looks like a printed photograph is supposed to look is setting HPLIP options then printing with lp file.jpg but that doesn't actually work all that well.

Is there any alternative camera for my laptop to have similar or much better then the one in iphone? So that i can use it from my laptop, but have very sharp HD quality with maximum megapixel + highest frame per second.
I will try to explain. My bank send to me a file which has extension .fm6, but which is, in reality, a zipped file. I have a program, which runs more or less well under wine, to open them.
Now the problem is: how can I associate this kind of files to the application? I mean, I can change the application for *all* compressed zip files, I know how to do it, but I do not want it. Just zip files that happens to have a name ending in .fm6 should be associated with them.
I know it's possible. In the end, openoffice.org files are really zip files (try it), and they are treated differently.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an effective way to manage use of internet bandwidth by users on a local area network. Currently there is a simple broadband router and unmanaged switch, and a standalone Ubuntu Server (8.04) that provides DHCP, DNS and mail for the LAN, and a web server. Ports are forwarded from a static external IP address to HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, SSH and IMAPS, and some security is provided by IP Tables (managed by using UFW).
There are 5 users on the network, and currently one or two of those 5 are using beyond our monthly download allowance of 30Gb. 1) To be aware of how many users are currently using the internet connection, and to divide the bandwidth between that number (so that if there are, say, 3 active connections, the total bandwidth available is divided 3 ways, rather than one of those users being able to hog all of it).
2) To allow each user to download up to 1/5 of 30Gb each month without any additional throttling (apart from the above), but once they go over that allowance to throttle them individually to, say, 10Kbps until the start of the new month.
I've heard other threads talking about both IP Tables and a proxy server such as Squid. I have no idea which of these would be most suited to the task. Currently, as I said, the Ubuntu server is standalone and only using 1 NIC, but it has 2 NICs and I could be configured to act as a gateway for the LAN, instead of the router, which is set to be the current default gateway.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 together with Windows 7 and when I launch Nautilus I have a list of all my (Windows) partitions in the navigation bar on the left. However I don't want to see all those partitions in Ubuntu (eg. the Windows system partition or the partition reserved for the Win boot loader. Is there a way I can control which partitions will be detected and listed for mount in Nautilus?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a LAMP server running Ubuntu 8.04.03 Server edition running smoothly. Ive setup several websites on the server and all are ok, but I constantly have trouble with permissions. Everytime I setup a new domain to host, I setup a user specific to that domain. This allows SSH login specific to the domain. The problem I have is that every time I setup ownership in the virtual directories for the users they belong to, the settings don't seem to stay. Initially it seems to work ok, but when I install Joomla and setup the webspace, I always seem to have to login to the server itself to chmod the folders I need to have writable. I cant chmod properly from my FTP client which is weird. How to manage permissions?
Currently I am doing the following:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p {name of domain}/{public,private, etc...}
sudo usermod -g www-data {my user name}
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/{directory for the domain}
sudo chmod -R 775 {folder path I need to change}
This works for a while but as I add new things to Joomla and I want to modify the folders, I always have to go back and redo the chmod and the chown commands to get them where I want.
I've been dual booting Ubuntu and Windows for about a year now. I know that Windows is nasty and all, but game publishers haven't gotten the memo, and Windows 7 isn't that bad. How do I know? I've been using the trial. Except that runs out tomorrow, so I'm going to have to install the full version. Which leads to the problem:
If I install it onto the partition where I had the old install, will grub find it? Will it roach my Ubuntu partition?
If that won't work, it leads to a second problem: The Internet connection on that PC is so awful (for reasons that I'd rather not get involved in here), that I'd rather not, if I have to re-install Ubuntu, download all of the packages I have installed again. Is there a reliable way to back up (and, more importantly, restore) all of the libraries and programs?
Finally, if neither of those options are possible, is there a way to select the packages directly, and download them with a well-connected PC?
I would like to use a transparent terminal window but meanwhile I want to keep a solid background while it is full screened. Is there a way to manage this?
