Ubuntu :: Way To Create .rar Or .zip File
Dec 9, 2010
So in older versions (even in 9.x) of Ubuntu, file-roller offered a "create archive" option when right clicking on a file. Now, in 10.10, that option seems to be gone.I mean, it was never a great option to begin with since it only appeared when selecting multiple files (not with a single file)... but this is much worse. I need a quick and efficient way to create a .rar or .zip file. Right now I have to open file-roller, drag the files in, and then create the archive.

I plugged in my USb drive into my computer yesterday and tried to delete a folder. I was unable to do so and got the following message
Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately? The file "my file" cannot be moved to the trash. Show Details Unable to create trashing info file: Read-only file system
So when I click on delete I get another error message:
Error while deleting.
There was an error deleting Case Study Database. Show Details Error removing file: Read-only file system
At this point I can only click on Skip, Skip All, or Cancel.
I have not changed anything on the stick recently so I dont know what is causing the problem.

Is there any program/script that can create a torrent file for each file in a directory? I have been looking all over but can't seem to find anything of the sort. I have 700+ files I REALLY don't want to make my self.

I want to create a logon script (or somesuch) that creates a file (if it doesn't already exist) and checks the file for some info otherwise. If it finds a given trigger in that file, it logs into a local database and does some operations.
Now my problem isn't with creating that file or even getting it to function as a logon script -- it's with permissions. After the logon script creates the file, I want that user to have read access on it ONLY. Further, I don't want to give the user any kind of root access so that they could do the database operations in question or chown/chmod the file.
What's the best practice here? I'm noticing that whenever the script runs (in .bashrc right now) the script runs with the current user's permissions. Ideally, I'd like to make it so the login script can run at a higher level of permissions, (higher than the user has). Is this even possible? What's the best way to do this?

I was just testing specifying limit on file size to a user and have added the following to /etc/security/limits.conf bob soft fsize 100 This basically should have said not to allow bob to create anyfile greater than 100Kb in size.
But the interesting thing is, if bob already has any file which is greater than 100Kb in size, it even doesn't allow to log him into the system both from console and SSH. Also nothing is logged in logs.. How do I configure it so that, bob can login to the system even though he has any file greater than 100Kb (but doesn't allow him to create file which are greater than 100Kb) ??

I want to back up an entire Linux system on a 3Tb external Western DIgital USB3 drive.
I do not want to reformat it from what it is, apparemtly NTFS.
Is there a utility that can act like a file manager like mc, that will permit me to create an ever expanding (to 320Gb) TAR file that will retain all the original file permissions. I have had nothing but disappointment with Linux backup utils with a FAT32 external drive, and I am concerned if I just try an tar the entire drive at once, with around 3 million files, I might run out of memory.

Everything in Linux is a file, right? And everything can be represented by a file? Is there some way I could create a block device file that represents (i.e., provides an interface to) this image file? If so, then I could use fdisk on the device file to split it into partitions, format the partitions, and then mount them as directories. I could create a file system within a file system, which would be fun.

I'm running xubuntu 9.10 and would like to create audio cd iso files for some of the music programs I have recorded to my hard drive. The only gui I know of that might do that is k3b but I don't want to install a lot of overhead. One of the sites I found on the web said that xfburn could make iso images, but there is no button or menu item that I can find to do it.

I am running ubuntu 9.10 on my pc, trying to update the bios on a thinkpad a31. I'm trying to create a bootable iso disk from the downloaded file from ibm (spsuiv69.exe) it is currently sitting on my desktop.
To be clear - I am having trouble making the .exe file an iso. I read this is the best way to update bios on a linux machine, if there are better ideas - whatever works.

A couple days ago I noticed cron stopped working and now I can't create a new file using crontab -e. When I hit crontab -e I get the editor but after saving nothing comes up under crontab -l and the file is blank when I reopen it. I don't have a cron.allow or a cron.deny.

I can do multiscan documents using xsane and the scanner and create multipage PDF. My next wonderment was how would you create it so you can search for text in the PDF file. I am assuming the scanner is really just creating an image file. And the reader needs text? I did find a decent OCR web based solution. It looks like it would be a lot of work to put something like that together.

Why am I trying to create folders in the file system you ask? I'm messing around with Drupal and I want to add some modules. So I need to go to the blablabla/sites/ folder and add an 'all' folder followed by a 'modules' folder.No problem, right? Wrong?It seems I don't have the rights to create folders in the file system ( which I only recently figured out is actually root. duh. )I've figured out that I was able to install all the LAMP parts because I was using 'sudo' before every command, which apparently grants me temporary rights to root? ( I think? )Sooo... what's the magic for creating folders and transferring files to my Drupal folder... which it seems requires root permissions?

I have set up a dual boot system with Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10. I have upgraded Ubuntu to the most current version available online. I'm unable to create folders or subfolders in the Linux file system. I have researched the manual and my Unbuntu Linux book and see that I should be able to click on 'File' from the menu, then 'Create Folder', and then input the new folder name, but the 'Create Folder' selection is 'grayed' out which I conclude means that it is set on inactive and unable to be used. I am able to access my Windows disk by mounting and then typing in my password, so I have Administrator privileges.
I'm able to create a new folder in Unbuntu Linux for my Windows (NTFS) files. When I installed Unbuntu, I did not see any options to have write access to the Ubuntu file system. I can create new files within the existing folders. Soon after working out my Linux problems, I will be using PHP/MySQL/Apache to do some important work, so I will need to be able to create new folders and subfolders in my Linux system. I have some urgent tasks I need to do away from my PC soon, so I will be a while before getting back to this.

quickest way to create directories from a .txt or .csv file. A single command would be great but I can use a script as well.
The windows equivalent would be:
FOR /F %n IN (newfolders.txt) DO MKDIR %n

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I started to have a kind of annoying problem with file-roller. I do not know what I attempted to unpack or pack form my USB HDD a couple of days ago, but when I did I got a message from the archive manager, the message was: "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." Well, I just shrugged, and continued doing whatever I was doing, but later I noticed that whenever I tried to open the HDD for whatever reason from "PLACES" in the main panel, I was getting the same error message over and over again.
It is not produced when I open the HDD from the Desktop link in my Desktop, that link will open the HDD with no problems. But if I try to access the HDD from "PLACES" in the main panel I will always get the same error message. Ok, what have I tried: since the archive manager window shows the "file-roller" logo in the menu button, I assumed that file roller is stuck with the previous process for which it produced an error, therefore I tried to "kill" any pending processes by several ways: Login-off, re-starting and turning the computer off.
That did not worked. Whenever I attempted to open the HDD from "PLACES" the same error "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." will return. Assuming that nautilus was stuck with the process I tried to kill any pending processes by using Alt+F2 and trying to kill the pending nautilus process using:
ps -e | grep nautilus
and then the command
kill {####}
That did not worked either. I was tired and uninstalled "file-roller" using the software manager, this solved the problem. But I actually use "file-roller" so I re-install the program and the problem returned. I tried to uninstall the program using synaptic manager using the "Mark for complete removal" option, uninstall, re-install and the problem was there. I uninstalled all the other recommended packages that were installed along with "file-roller" using synaptics and then just tried to install "file-roller" alone, the problem is still here.
Then I thought it was a problem related to the HDD. So I went ahead and re-formatted it using the EXT4 file system with no partitions. Re-booted and the problem is still here. Whatever process I started with "file-roller" or one of its companion pkgs is still active somewhere, I believe is "alive" in the system's HDD, because it returns after a complete uninstall/reboot/install process. I do not want to mess with "nautilus" itself, Do I need to uninstall/reinstall "nautilus-data" pkg?
System: Ubuntu 10.10, running solo in an EXT4 single partition.
Desktop: Gnome v2.32.0
Programs: file-roller v.2.32.0-0ununtu1; unzip v6.0-4; zip v3.0-3; xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20100527-1
USB HDD: 500GB, single partition, EXT4 file system.

Based on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, Linux 2.6.32, Gnome 2.30 and Xorg 7.4, Linux Mint 9 "Isadora" features a lot of improvements and the latest software from the Open Source World. anyways, I just done a fresh install and I cannot create no folders in my own file system, anywhere? It must be permissions, because when I try in terminal I get permission errors. Also this is my first Linux install

How would you create and then delete a file that begins with the symbol "-"? Try it.
I can't write the command for this question and I don't why.

why I cant seem to create a dot file (a file that starts with a dot) in my /tmp folder even with root priviledges. I installed F-Prot for linux & when I try to do a scan it complains it "can't stat a file" it seems to want to create & quits. So I tried creating it my self but it wont create a file that starts with a dot it seems. I also tried "chmod go+rx /tmp/*"
This is the error
