View 1 Repliesi would like to find and backup all *.mp4 files from /Pictures and its sub-directories and move them to a single directory on a remote. I can find and move the files but I don't want the directory structure...just the files to be placed in the remote directory.
To find my files I use
rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete --include '*/' --include '*.mp4' --exclude '*' /home/drew/Pictures/ remoteserver:/Users/drew/mp4
but this creates all the subdirectories
I also tried
find ~/Pictures -name "*.mp4" -exec rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete {} remote:/Users/drew/mp4 ;
This works but takes forever
I need to write a shell script which can ready content of the folder and place files on remote FTP server. I need to make sure that a file that is already placed on remote FTP server is not attempted second time. The file names will be something like Records-2011-05-09. The files will be generated by MySQL every hour.

For whatever reason even once it starts to boot live (With no direct install) it says in the "boot terminal" (non-graphical, full screen) as I call it "Authentication Failure even bEFORE the actual program is loaded. Asks me for username / password which does not exist, etc. I'm sick of windows. I used Ubuntu for about a week and fell in love.
Windows is poppy-cosh, compared to the speed, performance, customization, updates, few errors and bugs, everything is superb! I already converted my fiance and best friend to using the OS in Dual-Boot I'll be an avid supporter and do even more using my media company to help promote xD What's the point? Wine allows me to use all the programs I need that require windows, regardless.. You have converted me. "If you build it, they will come." Amazing job.
I tried re-installing windows and to no-evail for whatever reason screwed up my entire re-installation of Ubuntu. Instead of saying Owner it says Administrator for the new install. Here's my list:
1.) I need to completely wipe out all partitions and start over with a "fresh" HDD. Any ideas how to do so without an OS? It was suggested on wiki answers to use BootDisk.com
2.) I have the torrent downloading which is 689.6MB [URL] and the normal ISO which is 690MB [URL] from two different Ubuntu.com pages...Which do I use? Why are they two different file sizes? I assume the larger file size is the best to use. This has happened when downloading the Desktop CD as well. The lesser file never worked properly. Do you guys have incomplete files on the server or something or perhaps just my hardware?
3.) Use alternate installer to have Ubuntu as the ONLY OS. Alternate Option: Put Ubuntu alternate cd installer onto my external HDD by Seagate and boot up to it, then install ubuntu...
I just recently reinstalled (clean) Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala last week. In that time, over 40GB of log files were created until the FileSystem was full. I then received a low disk space message and ran disk usage analyzer to find out that almost all of the 44GB I had free were taken up by the /var/log directory. I then preceded to delete the 5 largest files which freed up over 40 GB of space.
Basically I believe that I have two problems:
1.) The log files are logging too much information (40 GB in one week).
2.) I need a way to automatically limit the size of the log files. I have tried searching online for this solution and briefly came across logrotate but I don't believe that this will completely solve my problem as it only compresses and backs up older logs. I need something that will remove old log entries altogether. If logrotate is capable of this can someone please walk me through the process? I do not remember all five log files that were in question but they did include: messages, syslog, and daemon.log. I believe kern.log may have been involved too.
i have a computer with 3 users on it, and a folder using samba that everyone on the network has access to. Lets say that, the folder is stored in /etc/sharedfolder. What happens is, when user1 puts a folder in it, then logs off, user 2 attempts to modify it and fails, because permission is set to 755, and they are not in the same group. (even if they were, it should still need to be 775) Anyway, my current solution is, every 5 minutes a crontab changes permission like so: chmod 777 -R /etc/sharedfiles && chown useradmin:superadmin -R /etc/sharedfiles Which works, but seeing as there is getting close to a gig in there, this is a bad solution, as it eats up the computers resources. Solutions that i think might work:
1) create a script that only changes permissions that need be changed.
2) change file permission settings to force all documents to inherit parent document settings
I have a desktop with Ubuntu 10.10 along with a laptop with Ubuntu 10.10. I have configured Remote Desktop with the following settings on both machines. However, on either machine, I go to Terminal Server Client. I type in the IP address and I hit connect (with RDP selected) and I get this error.

I wanted to know how can I change the default place of shared object files of a program in a system. let me explain it better for you : I have an embedded computer with Linux OS that its file system is read only and I can not add any file to /usr /lib and ..... and I can just mount a SD memory card to it and copy all of my programs to it and run them from there as you understand I have two choices to choose, first make one big binary file for each program that I am doing it now and it is not a suitable solution and the second is finding the way to change default place of shared object file of my program.

I want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.
I'm trying to generate MD5 hashtext within gnome-terminal that will match that generated by PHP running on a live web server. However, when I hash the same text I get completely different results!
Code:
<?php md5('testing123') ?> ===> 7f2ababa423061c509f4923dd04b6cf1
bash$ echo 'testing123' | openssl md5 ===> bad9425ff652b1bd52b49720abecf0ba
Could this be a character set problem? My terminal is running UTF-8, but even if I change it to ISO-8859-1, the hashtext that's generated is the same. Also tried using md5sum with a text file, saved in various character encodings, but still got the same [wrong] hashtext. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, tried running the local hash in both gnome-terminal 2.28.1 and the CTRL+ALT+F1 console.
Now I tried installing the KDE destop enviremont, the install went just fine but when I try to log into KDE I see the startup screen for a second then everything goes dark.It stays that way in the background i think the desktop is there because the mouse cursor is there, I can move it around but that's all.Does KDE work differently and so can the different xserver be the cause of KDE not working?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have plugins for viewing pdf files in both Opera and Firefox. Most pdf files opens embedded in the browser, just as I want. But there is some pdf files I am prompted to save before I can open, just as if the pdf is not recognized as a pdf ? A closer look shows that this pdf's are made using pdf-printers, drawing programs and other non-Adobe programs. It probably misses some Mime coding or other things that Adobe distiller puts into native pdf's ? How can I make the browser/system/plugin/acroread only care about the extension, and not the creator ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to replicate the behavior of the sha1sum executable in some java code, however, in the process I've discovered that sha1sum appears to behave differently given the same input in two scenarios.
Assume input of '12345' without the single quotes and with no newline.
If I put this data into a file (file1) and run sha1sum from the command line:
However, if I do this, I get a different result:
Using the apache commons-codec jar, I'm able to read in file1, get it's contents, and perform a .shahex() on the content and get the first result. However, I need to get the second result (due to legacy code) and I can't figure out why sha1sum is behaving differently, or what grep is doing to the input.
The system is running CentOS 5.4 with sha1sum 5.97

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy does on some computers my terminal window have a background I can see through and on others its a solid color? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on 4 machines as base OS and I have many virtual machines of it also. I havent changed the terminal preferences on any of them, however on some computers the terminal background which is purple is not solid in that you can see what is in the background behind it. On others the background is truly solid purple; you can not see behind/through it.
Is there any way to change the terminal window for these machines that are displaying solid to the 'see-thru' way? Ive been using some ebooks and things and really like opening up vi/vim in the purple see-thru window that allows me to write and see the text in the background...however on some machines I can not do this because the terminal display is truly solid. ? All my computers have the same profile settings for terminal..
color = use system theme
background = Solid color
Note - I am making a distinction here between what I call see-thru and the 'transparent' setting in the terminal preferences as this seems to use the desktop background and is different from what I am talking here.
So I ran a software in both KDE and Gnome respectively and it seems both of them have separate displays. By that I mean, one is displaying a part of the string(a Label) and the other is not displaying the string at all. I will include some relevant information such as the software uses SWT kit. Also the string is displayed perfect in Windows. If it's still not clear I will sum it up in a sentence. I am trying to display a label using SWT kit and, its being displayed correctly on Windows,partially correct on KDE(Half of the string) and not displayed on Gnome.
