Ubuntu :: Tar Newer And Exclude Options Does Not Run Together
Feb 25, 2010
Im trying to make backups using tar, and incremental backups using --newer. The scripts are:
Code:
tar -czvf $DISKPATH/backupRepos.tgz /home/repos/ --exclude /home/repos/Temp
for general backup (on saturdays)
and
Code:
tar -czvf --newer="`date -r $DISKPATH/backupRepos.tgz +%F`" $DISKPATH/backupRepos-inc.tgz /home/repos/ --exclude /home/repos/Temp/ for incremental the rest of the week.
The problem is that the first script runs OK, excluding /home/repos/Temp from the backup, but on the second, it makes incremental OK, but doesnt exclude Temp folder. Anybody knows how can i fix this script to continue making incremental but excluding also?

So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.

Well i downloaded a program with many .deb files ( At least 15 ) so i wanna execute them all trough the terminal so i typed
Code:
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~$ cd /home/patowlmc/Downloads/i386
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~/Downloads/i386$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Readme.deb: command not found
As you can see all files in the folder are .deb packages, but one: The Readme file, wich is a text file.
I know I just have to move the file to somewhere else, and everything should work, but i wanna know if there's a command for excluding a file or something.
P.D. I totally trust the program, so don't worry about so many .deb files.

The update manager always tells me to update my firefox (all plugins included - never works as it should be). I decided to install it directly form moz. This works - I think it's my hardware. How can i get rid of the "update manager" to include firefox.

I'm trying to create backup/archive my Ubuntu 10.04 system files (so I can restore it in case my system get corrupted). More specifically, I'm trying to zip the important files in my root directory not including my home directory (which includes my documents which I backup separately/more frequently) to an external hard drive attached via USB (called 'My Book').Since File Roller didn't give me quite the level of control I was looking for, I created a script that I could execute to backup and archive regularly.

I'm trying to do a sync of the root home directory to a folder call backup and excluding some files.
This is wat i executed:
rsync -a /root/ --exclude-from '/root/rules.txt' /root/backup/
My rules.txt is as below:
- anaconda-ks.cfg
Somehow it doesnt read the rules.txt and it will always include the anaconda-ks.cfg file.

I have set my environment variable for a proxy server as such [URL].. which works fine. wget rsync etc all use this proxy automatically. The problem is when I access other 10.x.x.x addresses on my private network all access goes through the proxy and is slow. How can I exclude 10.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 from the proxy server so that all applications obey this?

I am using livecd-creator with the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks file to create livecd/usb images. The image that is created includes several languages (some are listed below). How can I only include one or two specific languages? Will I have to specify to remove each language group? If so, what is the syntax for yum?

opensuse v11.2, linux 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop x86_64
ZIP v2.32
I wish to exclude some files from a zip archive. On other OSes to exclude an entire directory I would use the "-x" option like so:
Code:
zip -r archive-name * -x dir1/* Simple. And just add "-x"'s as needed (or use an exclusion file).
Not how it works here, it would seem. AFAICT all "-x" options are ignored. (The entries in an exclusion file also.) For instance, "-x diy/mplayer/*" should ignore everything in the <diy/mplayer> directory. It does not. I have tried fully qualified paths as well; no joy.
What is different about ZIP on linux?

I don't know why --exclude doesn't work when I use tar command. Please see this code
Code:
mahmood@pc:~$ l a/
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt b/
mahmood@pc:~$ tar cvjf compressed.tar.bz2 --exclude=/home/mahmood/a/b/ a/
a/
a/2.txt
a/1.txt
a/3.txt
a/b/
mahmood@pc:~$
As you can see although I excluded b/ but tar command ignored that.

I tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.

I am trying to exclude multiple directories when using tar. I can do it for just one directory with exclude= directory.I can also do it for multiple directories by typing that code again and again.As you can see im trying to call this variable that has endless amounts of directories in it seperated by a space.. but when run it doesnt work! It will however work if i just put one directory in the variable. Any ideas?

This question can be found on the Internet and on this forum but either there is no response or the advice is to move the folder to exclude on another path (in case of using a subfolder for ripped/downloaded mp3).
But in my case my music is on a SAN and I access it through CIFS. So every time I delete a file or folder it goes to the Trash, in a folder called #recycle, which Rhythmbox indexes as well. So I have to delete this folder to avoid duplicates...
Is there any configuration in Rhythmbox to exclude a folder?
I only see a configuration for multiple folders in gconf-editor:
/apps/rhythmbox/library_locations

I have network shares automounted in /media and I want to exclude them from my automatic scheduled ClamAV scan in Maverick. How do I do this? I can't find any CRON link or script that actually starts the scan. Is it the Daemon that does this?

I use the Scale Windows (aka Window Picker) of Compiz. I'm not entirely happy about the behaviour and i'm not sure if / how i can customise it.
What i want is:that minimized windows also are represented among scaled / exposed windows for me to pick from.
that my panel and dock are still clickable when all my windows are scaled / exposed.
Is there any way i can include / exclude these windows from that effect?

I was thinking of migrating my apt-mirror repository to the recommended ftp scrips: [URL] .....
I pre populated my pool with already downloaded files, and setup the scripts.
However, if I run the bin/ftpsync, and monitor rsync with lsof -p, I can see that it is still downloading files from oldstable (wheezy) despite exclude options.
I'm guessing it's a configuration error, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any thoughts? My etc/ftpsync.conf is as follows:
Code: Select allMIRRORNAME=`hostname -f`
TO="/server_storage/srv/mirrors/debian"
RSYNC_PATH="debian"
RSYNC_HOST=ftp.us.debian.org
LOGDIR="${BASEDIR}/log"
[Code] ....
Actually, I don't think it works like I thought it did. A few guides I found listed the exclude options, but the sample config file has this:
Code: Select all## If you do want to exclude files from the mirror run, put --exclude statements here.
## See rsync(1) for the exact syntax, these are passed to rsync as written here.
## DO NOT TRY TO EXCLUDE ARCHITECTURES OR SUITES WITH THIS, IT WILL NOT WORK!
#EXCLUDE=""
So it looks like it doesn't exclude the suites at all.

On my Fedora 11 x86_64 computer I have installed OOo 3.1.1 from www.openoffice.org because I need features that Fedora disabled in the repository version.And the latter also shows up in Software Update. Now, I went around and around with this and I know that installing the 1.3.1.1 package will break my OOo. I don't want Software Update even to list the 1.3.1.1 package because sooner or later I will slip up and install it on accident.
Side note: Why does Software Update think 1.3.1.1 is newer than 1.5.1? If it really is newer, someone at OOo needs to learn arithmetic.I think I can add an exclude line to /etc/yum.conf. But I can't figure out the syntax, and I don't know which package to exclude - the one I don't want updated or the alleged update package? Both? Or just the first part "openoffice.org-ure"?

im using rsync to sync files across multiple machines.
using the following:
rsync -az -e "ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"
--delete --delete-excluded --force --exclude=.git --exclude=.bundle
--exclude=tmp --exclude=log/* --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.pid
user@host:/path/to/src/ /var/build/dest
I want to exclude all log files from being transferred from the src to dest and delete all existing ones on the destination so im using --exclude=*.log with --delete-excluded which works great ...
but i want to keep a certain log file intact on the destination. I want a --exclude-from-delete option
Is this possible with rsync?
