I'm running UNR Karmic on an EeePC 1008HA and I'm trying to move my save files for one of my N64 roms to my main desktop. The problem is, I can't find where Mupen64Plus stores these save files, and the .mupen64plus folder won't show up at all in my home folder, and even on my file system. Note #1: I am looking for the actual save files, not save states, although that would be nice. Note #2: Hidden files and folders view was turned on.
The removal of the Firefox-Shiretoko Browser from the Main US Repository really wrecked me... I have no back buttons, no URL display, and all my bookmarks now have to be moved... (if I can figure out how to move them...) ooo, i miss my black-skin in Facebook...
I've installed the latest version of Ubuntu on one of my systems. I need to wipe it out and replace it with another OS for testing. After a week or so I'll reinstall Ubuntu.I've customized the looks and feel of Ubuntu desktop and have changed many other settings at a number of places. Is there a way so I can save my settings (like the desktop background, the screen saver settings, colors, terminal window settings including its fonts etc., and others) in a file or a set of files which can then be imported directly when I'd reinstall Ubuntu?
Not sure how this happened, but my Print-to-file always automatically displays "File System" as the default save location.Does anybody know how to change this back to save by default to ~/username
I have an Asus Eee PC with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Unity). The other day, I turned off the wireless using the keyboard shortcut to save battery life when I was somewhere without wireless, but now it's not turning back on. I tried restarting, I've done the keyboard shortcut several times, and it still just says "disconnected" for wireless and wired, even though there are several wireless networks around me right now. There aren't any options in Network Connections or Network Tools to turn on the wireless. Is there a way to manually turn it back on?
I was wondering, is it possible to open Ubuntu's main menu from the command line? I've been searching for the answer for about 30 min's now but no luck.
I'm installing a 10.04 server remotely - it's basically an RSYNC host for backups. I've got one minor issue - it's really more of an annoyance, but I would like to have it solved.When sending e-mails, the messages come in addressed to three destinations - when it's only supposed to be sent to one. What's worse is that the two additional addresses are based on the hostname of the machine.Let me explain: I use this command:Code:mail -s Testing email@somedomain.comI then compose the e-mail and send it. The mail arrive a few seconds later but addresed to the following:Code:from@hostname.domain.com;email@somedomain.com;hostname@hostname.domain.comThe "from@hostname.domain.com" has the actual word "from" in the address. I've installed many, many servers like this in the past and this is the first time that anything wonky with email has happened that I couldn't fix or explain. The machine is running postfix and I installed the bsd-mailx package to get the command line "mail" command (I used to install "mailx", but this seems to work just like the old package).
I do regular updation of my system. Today, I have updated my ubuntu system, but after booting I am getting only grub> command prompt. I am not able to see my main login screen. - I am using 11.04. - I have ubuntu 10.04 cd.
How do I save it as a jpg somewhere on my puter using a script? I can wget, but it gets saved as a .evif, which is totally useless. I can right-click on the image in a browser and use the context menu to save it as a jpg, but I want this process automated. How can I DL this image and save it as a jpg? GIMP's CL options don't include the capacity to save/convert this image, though it's possible from teh GUI. ImageMagick won't read this dynamic URL. What do I do?

I use webcam with the streamer application. So, to record a video I have to put in terminal something like this: Code: streamer -q -c /dev/video0 -f rgb24 -r 24 -t 00:30:00 -o /home/shark/untitled.avi I know I can use other applications but I have got problems with all except with this. This is really annoying because it is a delay job. So, I am wondering how can I make a script that the terminal will ask me to name the file or even better to ask where to put my file.
less doesn't save command history, i.e. file .lesshst isn't created. If I create it manually, nothing writes to it too.OS AIX 5.3 I think linux users can have the same issue, hardly this issue depends on OS.
This question may be silly and super easy for linux connaisseurs, but I was just wondering, for instance, I want to use the >find command to search for a file and send the results to a text file

I've been pulling my teeth out trying to find out a way to automatically save a screenshot to a folder by pressing a hotkey, and append a counter or timestamp to the end of the filename. I found this which works well
import -window root ~/screenshot.png
but I need a way to add a counter so that it doesnt constantly override the same file when I press the hotkey, but will save a new screenshot in the same folder.
I've been looking at bash commands and scripts for the past 3 hours but haven't found it yet, and it seems like it should be an easy task to perform.

I had some trouble before getting to install Webmin on my nas from the command line in Ubuntu Server So I wanted to temporary install a gui and used kde.

I have been using the net command for a while now to remotely shutdown my windows machine, I believe that it comes with the samba package. "net rpc shutdown -f -I IP_ADDRESS -U USERNAME%PASSWORD"
I run a Ubuntu 10.10 x86 Netbook edition computer, and have recently updated my software because my computer asked me to and the net command recently stopped working so I assume this is the cause. It was simply saying that the net command did not exist, but after playing around installing packages I installed samba4 and got it recognizing the command net. But it no longer works the same and does not support "rpc shutdown" nor does it appear to have any replacement for it.
Was the command simply depreciated? if so how can I stop this from happening again, I use net all the time and am not happy that it would disappear without warning.
Can I get the command back somehow, or do any of your have a replacement?
I was writing a bash script which attached to another script. The issue I'm having is, when I use the exit command written in the script, it takes me back to the first script. How do I disable this?
