I would like to get a recommendation to get a backup program under Linux.
I use dropbox, but this doesnt syncs automatically new files created on my local folders. So if I copy this in with a Backup program I can get a fully automated online backup system.
This is a recent problem, may be about a week. Upon booting my computer, Dropbox does not connect to the internet. I have to stop dropbox from the top panel and run it again from the menu. Then only it connects.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe searchfunction in Gnome 3 does not find the files in my DropBox. When searching it does find the DropBox folder, but not the files contained in them.
Dropbox folder is placed in /home/myusr/
All other subcontent folders in the home directory does show up in gnome search,
Went through Google and DuckDuckGo but was unble to find out how to manually change the places that the searchfunction indexes.
I'm trying to install DropBox so that the 'DropBox' folder gets placed in /dev/sda4 which is a spare ext4 partition on my disk. Root is /dev/sda1, swap is /dev/sda2 and home is /dev/sda3.
The DropBox installer does not show /dev/sda4 as a location to install it to in the 'Location' drop-down selector.
In Dolphin, the /dev/sda4 partition appears as '19.7 Gib Hard Drive'.
Do I need to do something to make /dev/sda4 accessible to the DropBox installer?
Ok I have used dropbox for a long time but never had an issue but since recently switching to Ubuntu it seems that when I download a file and drag it into my dropbox the file shows in dropbox but it doesn't seem to be applying ...after dragging it into dropbox in the upper right hand corner of the file there is a blue circle with two white arrows in it while all existing files that I out into dropbox prior to using Ubuntu are there and accessible and have a green checkmark in the upper right hand corner..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had everything backed up so it is no great disaster, but drop box lost a lot of my files. Some of the folders with missing files now have thumbs.db in them, but when you go to the dropbox site, you don't even see that.
I had thought about using dropbox as my main backup solution. That would be a big mistake.
I work on several computers throughout the day or week and make extensive use of Dropbox to sync my files between them.
One of the things that bugged me, was that bash/ssh/screen and other settings weren't synchronised between those new computers. And that I had to go through the hassle of having to recreate all those files when using a new computer. So I decided to start using Dropbox for this as well.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# This folder contains my personal prefferences that I want to be able everywhere
# Basically, I keep my personal configuration for a few files stored on my Dropbox
# and create symlinks to the required files
[Code]...
It says on the dropbox site that files are stored encrypted on their servers-but can anyone vouch for this?
Is there something in the repos i can use to encrypt the files before i upload them to dropbox? Annoying that truecrypt cant do this...
I now work on linux machine that I don't have admin on, so I can't install dropbox. is there any way to download some files from dropbox (by WWW) ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I installed Dropbox on a server to do file synchronization and it added " (Case Conflict 1)" to a whole bunch of my files! I realize now that it was caused by case insensitivity but I'm still left with hundreds of files that are in this renamed state. Is there a script in Linux that would allow me to recursively go through the directories and strip out this string?
i.e.
a (Case Conflict 1).jpg --> a.jpg
/myfolder/abc (Case Conflict 1).doc --> /myfolder/abc.doc
/myfolder/subfolder/mydoc (Case Conflict 1).pdf --> /myfolder/subfolder/mydoc.pdf
I have recently got an iPhone and find it is not possible to use it with my Ubuntu 9.10. I want to do full syncing with Thunderbird and Lightning. I would like to change this mobile phone for one which will do the syncing with Ubuntu. What phone do you recommend I get?

I am running 10.10 and using Banshee. When I go to sync my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen (8GB), it syncs fine in Banshee or appears to but on my iPod, it still shows the "Sync in Progress" for hours afterward. If I cancel the sync from my iPod, some of the music won't show up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI attempted to sync Tomboy notes with Ubuntu One, the process claimed to be successful - and deleted all the notes on my computer, with no warning at all. Thankfully I had just backed things up yesterday...
I'm running Karmic, the Tomboy is version 1.0.0, and the Ubuntu One client is 1.0.2 (I think).
A little while ago I was having problems with Tomboy syncing with Ubuntu One at all. Then things worked, but I ran into problems with the program declaring that the notes online were newer than my local ones - which was certainly not the case, as I only use my Ubuntu One account with a single computer. Some of the notes were conflicting, though there were also problems with templates (probably something similar to this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone...rs/+bug/502017).
So I deleted all the notes, manually, on the Ubuntu One site, thinking this would help. It certainly didn't help with my template problem, and now when I sync it declares "Synchronization is complete, 32 notes updated. Your notes are now up to date." - and lists all of my notes stating that they were deleted locally! And indeed they are.
If I go online and look at Ubuntu One, the notes tab simply says: "You have no notes (yet!)." I tried to see if this was recurring, and it is. Every time all my notes are deleted.
When I am playing music from my iphone through rhythmbox the iphone syncs at the beginning of every song. I dont know why it would need to do that? I have taken a look at settings and nothing really related.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.04 and my AWN dock won't automatically start even though the 'box' is tic'd and it's showing in the Startup Applications. I did lose all of my configurations as well after upgrading and had to reinstall everything on the dock.
Also, there are little numbers on the launchers like for Trash and Email that tell me how many items are in there. The Trash was easy to remove the numbers by right clicking and choosing the Preferences option. There was a place to disable that but there isn't one for the Email and those little numbers look well.
I'm using vnc to connect to my ubuntu box from my windows box however I don't like the way it works.1) It doesn't start automatically. I have to be logged into my username before I can connect to my box.2) It takes control of the screen on my ubuntu box which isn't what I really want to happen. I'm used to connecting via rdp in windows where I connect to the other computer and if you looked at the other screen you wouldn't even know I am logged on.This is handy if someone else is using the pc plus I just don't like everything that I am doing to appear on a computer screen that I can't see. I find it kind of freaky.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe other day a power outage affected an SSH server I have running 9.04 (32-bit desktop ed.). I have two external USB hard drives used for cron-scheduled backups (one for rsync, one for an incremental) that are connected at all times. When I reboot, they no longer mount automatically until I login to the gnome desktop. As far as I can remember, they always mounted automatically before as disk-1 and disk-2, but now I have to login to the gnome desktop and then log back out.
I never had them listed in the fstab before since they just worked, & hope to avoid doing it this way since the drives sometimes get their paths (sdd and sde) interchanged. However, is the best way to fix this to use UUIDs in fstab vs. using sde or sdd? (such as in this post: 4highlight=external+hard+drives+don't+mount+boot Or maybeust remembering incorrectly & ubuntu doesn't mount them automatically until login? Sometimes I have to reboot remotely, & this problem would cause the rsync to fill up my system drive.
I'm using 11.04 with the old panels, no side panel. For some reason gnome-panel doesn't launch automatically so I have to do it via terminal, which means I have to keep the terminal tab open if I want to keep my panels.
Adding it to startup programs resulted in invisible panels (Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.), which I bypassed by typing gnome-panel --replace. I would like a permanent solution though..
When I boot up openSUSE 11.2, sometimes it logs me in automatically (which is the setting I have) and sometimes it doesn't. How do I figure out why this is occurring?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently updated from Fedora 9 to Fedora 12. Everything else works fine, but the situation with Fedora automatically recognised new devices when plugged in has changed to the exact opposite. Under Fedora 9, all devices I plugged in were always automatically recognised, whether I liked it or not. Under Fedora 12, nothing is ever automatically recognised any more. Whenever I plug something in, the system just ignores it. If they devices turn up as block device descriptors in /dev, I can manually mount them and access them through the mount points. Otherwise, I can't do squat. Now I can only access my digital camera by manually mounting it and copying the files. This works, but is cumbersome. Under Fedora 9, I used to be able to use GPhoto to download the pictures via PTP. Not any more. GPhoto acts as if the camera wasn't even there. So does F-Spot. What has happened? Have I missed installing some kernel module or service or something?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running squeeze testing. I have noticed an issue with the way NetworkManager acts when the wireless connection is dropped. I believe it should automatically reconnect but it immediately puts up a dialog requesting me to enter the wifi password. This dialog stays indefinitely until I intervene and click "OK" (the password from the previous successful connection is still there). I would think that something as basic as wireless networking should not require 24 hour human interaction to stay connected. I have considered a cron job checking the network status and restarting it if necessary, but there is a configuration change or something else I can do to resolve this.

Problem is that those settings are not loaded to GUI application (Preferences/Network connections).
