Ubuntu :: Stop Automatic Thumbnail Creation And Storage?
Jan 31, 2011
I was lurking about my hidden files and noticed the ".thumbnails" directory. I had been browsing the web for about an hour and had opened some image files from my drive.HOLY CRAP! I had over 2000 thumbnails in that directory! Every time an image is displayed, a thumbnail of it is created? Really? Seriously, I don't care what the reason behind this "feature" is, how do I stop it? It is simply unnecessary and a waste of disk space.

What I am trying to to is set up a cluster as follows:
- There are four nodes
- Nodes three and four have large amounts of storage that will be used for storing user data.
- Nodes one and two will be running a couple of network services.
I'd like have nodes one and two to have a clustered filesystem just between them to store data for the services run only by them.is it possible to share one filesystem between two nodes and another filesystem between two other nodes? The cluster seems to try to make the storage changes across all nodes. They will not be able to spend the extra money to get the same storage in all four nodes. Here is what I have done. I am using CentOS 5.5. After installing CentOS, I did this:
On all nodes:
Code:
[root@node1 ~]# yum groupinstall "Clustering"
[root@node1 ~]# yum groupinstall "Cluster Storage"
[root@node1 ~]# chkconfig ricci on
[code].....
...which I think makes sense because the cluster was supposed to create the PV and the volume group, but did not. I don't even think it tries. The first time it tries to do anything to another node is when I create a logical volume.

When I create a new user account and login the first time to Gnome a series of files and directories is created in the user's home directory. Those directories are for example:
.ICEauthority
.cache
.config
.dbus
.gnupg
Bilder
Desktop
Documents
Musik
Videos
Vorlagen
�ffentlich
How can I control what files and directories are created? I checked /etc/skel but none of those entries where there. In particular, I do not want to have the folders "Bilder", "Documents", "Musik", "Videos", "Vorlagen" and "�ffentlich" being created.

I'm a big fan of the NSLU2-Linux project so I've been doing some developments for this platform for the last three years. In order for the end users to test my applications, I initially created an USB image with everything bundled into it. Then, they only had to download the image and decompress (dd) it into an USB pendrive with capacity equal or greater than 4 GB. The fact is that this has brought me lots of problems in the practice since my Web server hardly accepts long file transfers.
Moreover, flash spaces beyond 4GB are wasted. As result, I'm now considering a different approach as I don't know how to do it. Well, I've thought that I could maybe create an USB disk image only with the root file system partition. Then, the first time a script runs, it creates a home partition and formats it into the rest of the space available in the pendrive. There is maybe some command-line alternative to fdisk without having the user to interact during the format process... ??

I have a windows 7 ultimate host machine, installed oracle virtual box on it. Made a iso image to boot fr fedora. All this is fine when the installation is complete, it asks for reboot. Reboot done. Then I went to terminal. Did a SU - root to get into the root. Then I did a firstboot command to enter information. I created a user for myself and at the end rebooted the virtual box.
When it starts up, it does not show my user. It just shows "Automatic Login" and it logs in as Live System User. Even if I try to switch user then it gave me a authentication failure when I enter the credentials of the user which I created. If I try to create users manually using system administration, the user is lost after reboot. I have tried all possible steps...as instructed on the net.

when a new email arrives on my gmail account, i want to be labelled (=tagged), letting an external bash script read the message and choose the right label.
i.e.:
from: ebay
to: me
dear matteo, congratulations! BILL_GATES has just bought one of your items! regards, mr. ebay i can easily write a script to calculate the right label (BILL_GATES) but how can i create it (if not already existing) and apply it to the processed message?
it took me 2 minutes to find a guide on how to configure mutt to view my gmail account, but i can't go any further... mutt has a kind of patch or extension to manage labels (view, edit, apply, etc), but i can't figure out how i could make it an automatic procedure... fetchmail + procmail seems to be the best solution, but (before spending a night with any effort)

I have this bkl-orbiter daemon running for something that apparently needs it (wacom drivers maybe).
It created a "bkl-thumbnail" home dir and has been caching image thumbnails.
Any way to keep it from doing that? Or find out why it's doing it?

What is the current state of NFS failover (i.e. setting up two server with shared storage, with automatic failover if one fails?) I've seen a cookbook, but no details that would let me assess how well it works. There are lots of complex issues with data consistency, but the detailed information on that is years old. Our needs are fairly simple: 2 servers, a shared array, and I'm reasonably sure that we don't use locking. However we'd like failover to work reliably without loss of data.

I've been running 10.04 since September on my new MSi i3 notebook and about two weeks ago I noticed that when I login after system boot, propagation of icons on my desktop and the content of my Panel have become slower and slower.If I logout and login again the propagations are not slow.

Seems like the latest Kernel (2.6.40-4.fc15.i686) update screwed with my setup a little bit.
This is what happened:
I had about 100 updates to my F15 pending in my taskbar's update notifier.
I let the system update itself.
Reboot and desktop effects don't work.
Takes a long time to open up Dolphin.
electricsheep (OpenGL screen saver) doesn't work.
I'm assuming it's a problem with OpenGL or my nvidia video drivers which I tried reinstalling from mjmwired's guide.
That didn't fix anything.
I'm looking for a point in the right direction or a way to revert back to my previous state before the system updated everything.

I'm interested in buying a new hardware for my company. The old server (now 10 years old) should be replaced with a new one. Till now, I was looking on different hardware suppliers, boards and different other places. I found a Tyan board [URL]. The hardware spec is quite interesting and the board would fullfill our claims.
how both storage devices will be supported by Ubuntu or Debian??
- SATA-Controller: AMD SP5100
- SAS-Controller: LSI 1068E

when I freshly installed 10.10 on release date my AVI files were showing thumbnail previews fine as I had pretty much every AVI with a thumbnail to it.
Got some more AVI files today and now they are all just a blank icon (the standard film strip one). Anyone know a way I can fix this?

When I use any application to upload an image, the dialogue box opens for me to select my file, but I can't view my images as thumbnails. Instead it reverts to List view and displays the columns with the file name, last modified etc data. This is very frustrating when dealing with images. I'm a photographer and handle many hundreds of images.

I'm using F14 and I usually saw cr2 raw thumbs in nautilus. Then some days ago they disappeared.
package raw-thumbnailer is installed.
Browsing gconf-editor at Desktop/gnome/thumbnailers I saw no key for CR2.
Then I wrote the key You can see in attachment and everything was working again.
But as You can see there is a message: "this key has no schema"

When using file preview mode in konqueror within a folder with movies the system automatically generates snapshots with an app called "kffmpegthumbnailer" (10% into the movies). Say I'd like to create my own thumbnails for files that do not get a good representation automatically, where do I put these thumbnails?Apparently Konqueror uses the folder "~/.thumbnails" as a cache storage. (if this is deleted, all thumbnail previews are regenerated). But when I try to supply my own thumbnail into this directory, it won't get used, instead a default one gets generated (even though the thumbnail type, size and name are identical).
How can I trick the cache functionality into using my own prepared samples instead of generating them. I would have thought there was a logical override, for example by supplying your own ".thumbnail" folder for files you'd like more control over, but this does not seem to be the case.

At some point after one of the many updates I do to my system, I seem to have lost the ability to preview myself on cam. Simply put, software like CamStream and Cheese just give me a black screen when I open it up. So, I cant see how I look on cam and what's in or out of the shot. If I tell Cheese or Camstream to capture a still, there is no problem. In fact, that is the only way I can determine what the camera is seeing of me and my background.
The only "solution" is to either have Cheese takke my pic and determine from there (as just mentioned), or go on a video chat room and have it use my camera to give me a real-time look at what the camera is aimed to. As someone who creates webcam videos for upload, and sometimes needs to move the camera while still live, this is not convenient so I hope to fix it.
Here are the command line outputs Im getting:
Cheese:
Code:
** (cheese:3704): WARNING **: could not generate thumbnail for /home/lixen69y2k/Webcam/2010-08-25-101226.ogv (video/ogg)
** (cheese:3704): WARNING **: Icon 'video-ogg' not present in theme
Camstream:
Code:
W: CamStream version 0.27 starting.
>> void CCamStreamApp::ReadConfigFile()
<< void CCamStreamApp::ReadConfigFile()
code....
Could not grab image (select timeout): Resource temporarily unavailable.Seems that GUVCview gives me the best articulation of what the problem is. I have both a built-in webcam for my laptop as well as a USB one. Both seem to have this problem so I know its a case of some part of my software being the trouble.

Steps:-
1) insert-ethers
2) client is started with the PXE boot.
3) it detects the dhcp .
4) At last it demand where is to be started by cd-rom, harddisk ,nfs etc.
then I started with the nfs and I have given the lanIp of server.and server is detecting the client but client is not finding the filesystem directory. into export partition directory but it is not taking path.
PATH:-
