got a whole lot of video files spread among 100's of folders, wondering if Linux has a program that can scan the modification and view dates of them all, and just display what's been accessed most recently.
View 4 RepliesI accidentally permanently deleted a few files and I was wondering if there was a program that finds the files that were deleted and restores them?

I have a directory listing with many subdirectories having many files. I want to recursively search for the oldest 5 files starting from the base directory and not 5 from each subdirectory. I am writing a shell script which sorts them using ls -lRtur|egrep "txt|jpg" > /tmp/file1 Now from this /tmp/file1 file I want to sort the files same as what the ls -ltr command does that is oldest file time to newest file time first. How do I sort based on Linux time stamp? The files itself also have Linux timestamps embedded in them So I can sort based after extracting them as well if it is easier.
My /tmp/file1 has entries like below.
-rw-rw-r--. 1 usr1 usr1 705 2010-01-22 17:25 sample20100603173659.jpg
I want to get the 5 oldest files and then delete them.
I am trying to use sed to replace a bunch of text in several hundred files, so I have this bash script that should iterate through all my files. It looks like this:
#! /bin/sh
for php in *.php; do
./run.sed $php
[code]...
i need an application or shell script that can identify all the directories and files in a certain directory and can rename them to remove any spaces in the filenames.anyone know of anything that can do this?
View 9 Replies View Relatedcan I index files so whenever I do a find somethingdo find / -name libSDL-1.2.so.0It doesn't take 10 mins. I do know there are packages such as tracker but that one does indexing all the time. I would be happy to have something which can be done by hand or something which is done once in 12 hours or so.

I can use DVD Flick on Windows but I'm sure this can't be the only way. There has to be a way to get VOB files on an Ubuntu operating system.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got problem with Avahi on my laptop. It can see the other machines and services on the LAN but not it's own local services and I have no idea why. The laptop (hostname: forseti) sports Ubuntu 10.10, installed aavahi-daemon, avahi-dnsconfd and libapache2-mod-dnssd. Firewall is disabled. Other hosts on the LAN are: magni (openSuSE 11.4 with lots of services published and visible from forseti) and freya (Ubuntu 10.10 with gnome-user-share up & running). Forseti can see the other hosts and their services but not itself. The other hosts can't see forseti. Checked both with nautilus and CLI's avahi-browse.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI ran grub-customiser to set default kernel, and saw the GFX mode setting, thinking "Hey, my monitor is native at 1440x900! I'll use that!" ...Didn't think about how the GFX card isn't initialized at that point, so my res is limited to 640x480... So the first problem was a system hang at the grub menu, with "Input Not Supported" displayed on the monitor.I changed the GFX mode back, and ran update-grub, and with a grin on my face, I rebooted. The grin went away fast, when I saw that none of the kernels showed in the grub menu, and I have only the two memtest entries. It appears that, while all the files are still intact, grub is not seeing the kernels. I had an idle partition of about 13 GB on hand, so after trying all sorts of things, I did a clean install on the little 13 GB partition. Still no dice, after doing an apt-get purge grub etc etc etc on my main Ubuntu partition, to make sure that the new grub was running. I still have only memtest, even though I can open the /boot directory and see the kernel files. I tried going into the grub command line and starting manually, but tab-complete does not suggest any of the kernel files, and tells me that the files do not exist, if I type in their full names.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to write a script that can search up to 3 parameters and find all files containing those words. then display them and the amount of hits it got.if the first parameter exists, then we can assume we are looking for the word supplied.if the second parameter exists, then we are looking for files with both keywords.if third parameter exists test the second parameter for the values ('and', 'or', '-v') and search accordingly. These are the only values accepted as the the second one when 3 parameters are present.
lastly, if there are zero or more than three parameters echo as an error and when 3 parameters have been entered we echo an error when the second parameter is not one of the following: 'and', 'or', '-v'.

On my mac I see my wireless Internet i click on it, put the password in and I'm connected, but on my ubuntu he doesn't show the wireless Internet?
When i connect via cable I've got Internet so i think it can't be my network card because else he wouldn't connect via cable not?
ClamAV tells me that three of my OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheets may be infected (status "MBL_144360.UNOFFICIAL", if that means anything). This seems not entirely implausible, since yesterday I used a USB stick to transfer files from a Windows system. Anyway, I'd really like to keep these spreadsheets. Can I disinfect them somehow?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I was the one who couldn't get their ethernet port to function properly. Most likely, this was the result of bad hardware since none of the community's suggestions for software fixes did anything. I believe this is probably true.Indeed, when I bought a cheap $10 wireless USB dongle, it immediately worked better than all the previous things. It detected networks, displayed network strength and even allowed me to attempt login.
The only problem now seems to be that it cannot login. I've rechecked the password countless times, but it just shows the 'connecting to wireless' animation for a minute or two and then poops out and says, 'disconnected'.I assume if everything is getting me this far, the driver is not the problem with the device. Is this a safe assumption?
I'm running a syslog server on ubuntu 7.04. Can I somehow have it email me if it finds a certain thing in the log? For example. I'm running a PRI and when the PRI goes down, it logs a "DEACTIVED" in the log. I would like an email telling me this so I know to get on it and fix it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Wheezy 7.9 (32 bit) and using Gnome Classic desktop. I have recently had several issues with system "crashes" and such, see some of my recent posts, and for now things seem to be working okay. As part of my attempts to "fix" the problems I looked at the hard drive using the SMART disk utility, and also ran "smartctl". The SMART utility reports that there are 3 bad sectors on the drive. When I run fsck, from a live CD, it does not report finding bad sectors. So why would fsck not find something that is reported by smartctl? Which one should I believe?
As a precaution I am now making daily backups of my /home directory and purchased a new HD just in case. Have not yet installed the new HD but at least I am prepared.
I can't for the life of me figure out why I cannot browse my own shares from my linux boxes. both run OpenSuSE 11.3 I follow swerdna's tutorials and reboot several times but don't have a clue as to whats going on to prevent me from viewing localhost shares or 2nd linux box shares. I get 'unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server' error when I click on my workgroup icon in nautilus.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI bought a Letux 400 mini netbook and it works fine except for wireless Ethernet. It finds wireless networks, including mine, and then pretends to connect, after asking for a password, but finally never connects. I tried reconfiguring the wireless network from g to b/g and finally to b only, but nothing changed. Cable connection works. Unfortunately all relevant Letux Web pages are hopelessly slow and certainly too slow to use the forum and ask questions there. why the thing doesn't connect and how to make it connect? If it recognises networks, shouldn't it be able to connect as well?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFC13 and Ubuntu 10.04 - both 64bit. Hardware: MBP 5,4 Here's how I do the install:
1. Boot to Ubuntu LiveCD and wipe disk.
2. Create a msdos partition table via gparted
3. Reboot from FC13 or Ubuntu install disk and continue to install with installer suggested partition scheme.
4. Reboot and get an error that says "uncompression error -- System halted"
Variation that I have tried:
1. After #3, boot into FC13 or Ubuntu rescue mode, chroot to hd image and run:
# grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
2. Create a 250MB partition where I installed refit and use rest of the disk for Ubuntu or FC13. After installation, both Ubuntu and FC13 halt at the same error.
3. gptsync fails with no refit installed. Finds GPT table empty. LiveCDs from both distros work fine so ruling out hardware issues like bad memory etc.

My laptop is only small and does not have a disc drive.I would like to install World of Warcraft onto my laptop. Usually my plan of action would be to pop the files under Program Files onto an external hard drive, then copy them over and voila.I'm not 100% sure what the Ubuntu equivalent is to Program Files. Google search suggests usr/bin, but it requires permission to move files there and I'm really not sure how to go about doing this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI guess the title says it all. I'm looking for a program that will rename a massive amount of files at once. JPGs specifically, or PNGs. More specifically,I'm creating a stopmotion movie. Using the program StopMotion. And for that, all you pictures, or frames, have to be named 001.jpg 002.jpg and so on. I've got about 300 or so images, and they're all named the default thing that my camera names them, you know, like DSCIM8520 or whatever. I'm looking for maybe a command line program or GUI is fine too, that will do this for me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny program that can monitor changes to files? I've had an issue for a while now where files will simply disappear. Specifically, FLAC files that are loaded into Rhythmbox. Once I've found the files in the Trash bin, but I've just noticed several that appear to have been missing for some time, as they were not in the Trash. Basically, I'd like something that will log the non-read activities of a given directory or directories.
