Did you know that while in Nautilus 2.30.1 using Ubuntu 10.04 you can have split-pane by pressing the F3 key. You can copy files from one to the other. Here is a little video howto from LJ. [URL]
I was trying to rip a couple of video dvd titles.I stopped to install transcode.Then when I started I had forgotten to take out my Suse 11.1 disk, I realised after I had already cancelled, that was the reason the programme was asking me to insert the video DVD.Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a mad 5 minutes clicking and have lost part of the screen.I have closed k3b and reopened it, but I can't get the panes back.I have lost the bar at the very top the left hand pane and the top right hand pane.
I'm trying to get tmux to open a certain set of panes an certain programs in those panes by default and open that way every time I run tmux. Is there any way to do this?
I read in the documentation commands for this, but i have no idea where to begin.
Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.
I attempted to install Nautilus Elementary...the results were not what I expected however. First of all, it doesn't seem to even have installed correctly, but thats not the main issue...after installing, Nautilus looks like this...
I've added a new Nautilus action and I'd like to use another icon that those provided in the nautilus item con list (see attachment).
But whatever image I try (some PNG or even SVG files) I can't get them to be displayed. It seems there is a very special format, size, type to match the Gnome/GTK+/Nautilus icon requirements...
Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic: http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?
I recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named: file.part01.rar file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code: 7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.
How do i install ubuntu so that only the OS itself (hope you get what i mean) is on my C: drive and other files like applications etc is on my D:drive? I use a raptor on 74gb which is faster but smaller than a normal hdd that will also contain windows 7 and crunchbang so I just want the main parts of the OS on that hdd. If it's not possible on install, which maps should be moved from the C: drive to the D: drive if i want all applications and such on the D: drive? And how do i configure so futur installations from synaptic or the apt-get command install files on the D
I'm looking for a free alternative to split files into .partXX files. I know this can be accomplished through rar, but it's a shareware and I was wondering if there's a free alternative that accomplishes the same job.
For reasons best known to itself, the Ubuntu 10.10 installation programme created two drives when it put my favourite OS back on the existing partition (which had become inaccessible). One is 20GB, the other 12GB. The former appears to contain the programmes that run the current distro (boot, root, etc. and so on). The latter has all my personal stuff (text files, pics, music etc.) I don't much care about this dichotomy, it works after all. But there is a part of me that says that this is all a bit untidy, that the right thing to do would be to merge the contents into one. The rest of me says, "don't rock the boat." Is it possible to merge them? Should I do it? How might I do it?
Is there any way to split partition, in which my ubuntu 11.04 is.I don't wanna loose data, but I dont wanna reinstall it too.P.S. Now I have 750gb HDD, I want to split off 100gb~ for dual boot win7
I have a couple of gigs of png files, each with 5-7 photos on each file. Currently I am making 5-7 duplicates of the file, then opening each one in gimp, and cropping and saving each one. kind of time consuming. Does anyone know of a program that will let me split an image into multiple slices?
im trying to reconstruct / extract a file that was too large to fit onto a floppy, used 7zip to create and split the file into multiple parts in tar.bzip format. this was done in windows. Then moved all the parts of the file to tiny linux on a really old laptop. no cd drive, no usb or network. so have to rely on floppy drive. i do know that reconstruction while extracting using commands is possible. but not working.tried tar -xMf file.tar.001 but nothing.
Is it possible to split the home directory into 2, 1 for the personal files (documents, images, videos, music, etc.) and another for the setting files (config, temp, etc.)
At first I was running an 80g HDD with 2 partitions, 50g for win7 & 20g for Ubuntu.I ran out of space & upgraded HDD's.So now I have win7 working successfully on a new 500g HDDAnd I've left Ubuntu on the 80g HDD, but when I try to boot up from it, it says:Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key
I used the search feature first to try and find the same issue, and found nothing that truly matches what I'm experiencing.
Here's the current issue:
I'm supposed to run this dbgl file (front end for dosbox) in terminal like the tutorial i'm viewing says, but everytime i click "Run in Terminal", the Terminal shows up for a split-second and then disappears. Nothing else shows up. Nothing else opens.
I'm looking for a c++ IDE and/or Text editor with split screen abilities like what you see below with notepad ++. Having the ability to split your screen is very helpful when comparing code.

I have tried geany which chokes VERY badly when trying to compile multiple files. I have tried kate which doesn't have a compiler.
