This works better than the current entry.

I have a few .txt files that when opened in gedit give me an error "Could not open the file - gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding" HOWEVER, I can see some of the contents of the files (a few words) in the icon preview in nautilus. Also, I can open these documents in notepad (using wine) though I'd prefer to use gedit.
These might not all be txt files. I know one is directory of important phone numbers that was in some obscure format that could only be opened on a nokia phone.
I need a quick script that will help me keep only the most recent 10 files in a directory.
The files look something like this:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 34816 Dec 13 13:06 3_270_737318733.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 root root 709120 Dec 13 13:06 3_271_737318733.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 root root 63488 Dec 13 13:06 3_272_737318733.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 root root 316416 Dec 13 13:06 3_273_737318733.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 root root 113664 Dec 13 13:06 3_274_737318733.dbf
code....
I need to eliminate the older files, and keep only the most current.
I've done a ls -l | sort -r and written that to a file i can read into a loop. That's where i'm running into difficulty. The difficulty being, that I don't know how to keep only the most current 10 files.
I am using the diff command with the -r option, to compare a large number of files and files in subdirectories. My main interest is to find out which files have been changed, and not what the actual changes are, and since a lot of files has been changed, it would be a lot easier to view the file names only. Is there and option for diff that might do this, or does there exist a similar tool/command that could do the job?

Does anyone know where the Gedit configuration file/s are located?I knowthat the ~/.cache/ contains some information and deleting it removes the most recent documents list in the File menu.However, if I wanted to remove the most recent Find and Replace information which appears in the drop-down box when you choose Find or Replace, what file would I need to remove or edit.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis started a while back... but I'm not sure when. Whenever I'm editing one of my PHP files it takes 1+ seconds for it to write the letter I type. I tried it on HTML and it's perfectly fine. I tried going to .gconf/apps and deleting the gedit-2 file, but it didn't help. And I tried disabling the File Browser Pane plugin and it did nothing. And one more thing, it might just be some PHP files, because about half of mine are really slow like that, but the other half is perfectly fine.

Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

I am running FTP server using vsftpd 2.0.5-12 on Centos 5.3 64bit with default settings, annonymous access enabled. Each night new files are created and moved into a FTP subdirectory (/var/ftp/spectra) by a script. The files are owned by a local user/group, not root, and the same holds for the /var/ftp/spectra subdirectory. The new files are not visible via FTP. Only visible are files that were created the same day when I made the directory /var/ftp/spectra. Also files that are created "in place", e.g. by vi, are visible until I change their owner/group. This is the situation when vsftpd is runned as a system service (/etc/init.d/vsftpd start).
When I start the vsftpd directly using the command /usr/sbin/vsftpd (both without or with the configuration file specified), all files are visible and normally accessible via FTP.
I set-up my Sudo it works but when I use Gedit I get the following message

If I use vi it's ok, I can modify and save. In Fedora it run ok, but with opensuse?

Is there any way in linux to find all the duplicates and remove all of them except the most recent version? I know on Windows there are utilities that will do this through a GUI, but I'm using Linux through the CLI only.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a ftponly user "rom" in my box. This is used by our vendor to send files through ftp. When they send files the ownership of files are all the same as user name group created in this machine.But our application engineers use another user name "deb" to process these file. But as the owner of these file are "rom", they cannot process with their user. Manually they modify the user name and group and then they able to process.The group ID of the two users are different and its application dependent.how should the ownership will be modified automatically or is there any workaround or script to modify the ownership of these file for application user's?

I have just finished an install of Cent 5.5. I loaded up a trunk for a software application I want to compile on cent, but I cannot read the .cpp files. The issue seems to be with the file extension. If I change the extension to .txt, they open just fine. My .FOR, .FPP, and .DAT files display fine, but the .cpp and .h give me an error, "Couldn't display...". What is the problem here that won't let me open these files in gedit?

Perhaps if a hacker got in and messed around or something you'd be able to see what they did, but they wouldn't have permission to modify the file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just started using FireFTP instead of FileZilla because I got fed up with FileZilla not opening remote files and not recognising the default editor Gedit.
I really want to use keyboard shortcuts with FireFTP, which is possible according to the help docs on-line, but there is no option to use shortcuts anywhere even having enabled FireFTP to open in a new window. I tried it in Shiretoko 3.59 and Firefox 3.18 with no luck.
I just tried removing FileZilla and it does not appear in my list of installed apps. It appears in the full list as uninstalled but when ticking the box to install gives this message. FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. I already have FileZilla..so how is that?

Here is the command syntax:

So, how can I do this on every file in the directory?
just thought i would throw this out there as a google search doesnt even come back with what i need. I have setup proftp with a mysql auth on a debian box. When i save files or try to modify them i get an error. Ie i dont have permission. When i look at the permissions for the files, it has a 2001 user permission and a ftpgroup as the group permission.
I want it to be ftpuser and ftpgroup with readable and writable permissions for the user and group. This is my second proftp box and i basiclly copied the config files over from the old box.

I recently started using SVN with Apache for my web development, although I find it really annoying that I have to issue two SVN commands (one local, one remote) to update my web site. I have been looking into SVN post-commit hooks to solve this problem. The only problem is that apache does not have permission to modify files in my user directory... So here is how everything is setup. I am running Slackware 13 full install. There have been no installations overriding any of the default installs.

I have a multi user system for my roommates and myself that has separate folders for each of us. I've got user authentication working with samba, but unless I set every file and folder readable/writeable by all users, I can't browse it or edit the files.This isn't ideal as the shares are open to other users access, so I'm hoping there's a way to keep folders at 750 and files at 660 while allowing samba users to browse, delete and edit.Also, the samba share is actually a mounted NFS share from another server. Both the NFS server and the Samba server have the same users/uid's. When a file is created from a Windows host via the Samba client, the NFS server's permissions do show that the correct user owns the files, but since the files aren't mode 666 but 640 I can't edit or delete the file.
