Ubuntu :: Way Using Apt-get, Dpkg Or Similar To Rebuild These Subdirectories In /usr/share/doc?
Jul 28, 2011
I'm not a complete newbie in Linux, but I was working some years solely with Windows. But some weeks ago I remembered my old love and installed Ubuntu Natty 64 bit. Last night I installed also Oracle 11gR2 64 and got it finally running after some fights with missing packets and unexpectedly placed libs. (Unexpected by Oracle installer). Nevertheless; Oracle is running now.Ok so far. This is the good news. The bad news: In one of these fights I was in a terminal-session and accidentally entered sudo rm -r /usr/share/doc while I wanted to delete /usr/share/doc/libstdc++5. I wondered why this takes so long time and stopped it as I saw what I did. But too late of course, there are many subdirectories missing.My question now: Is there a way using apt-get, dpkg or similar to rebuild these subdirectories in /usr/share/doc?Natty is still running fine for now. But what happens if there are updates or new packets?

This question is very similar to this one except that I want to maintain the file's original subdirectories.
For example if I had
/temp/a/a.txt
/temp/a/a.jpg
/temp/a/b.txt
/temp/b/c.txt
/temp/d/d.txt
/temp/d/d.jpg
/temp/d/e.txt
/temp/f.txt
[Code]...

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.
so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. how can I fix it and get my video codecds?

Should I install any thing on my system to install .deb files??

i currently have hundreds of files all in a single directory. What I would like to do is create 8 subdirectories and move the files into the subdirectories based on the first character of the file name. Ideally, the script would omit any 'the' or 'a' and use the second word for filing purposes. No filenames have spaces. Instead they use periodsThe subdirectories will be:
0-9
a-d
e-h

I've been doing some file-sharing with Ubuntu. And I've noticed that the files only in the immediate directory is shared, the rest of the folders are shown in other PCs but access is denied. How can I share all the subdirectories in a folder without having to them manually?

I figured I'd try out the Ubuntu Minimal install; I liked the concept of minimal distros like Arch-Linux (with a what-you-need-is-what-you-get type of system), but I really liked the community and general support of Ubuntu. Anyway, everything went fine after I got GRUB working properly, up to the point when I found that there were no subdirectories in my user's folder (Templates, Documents, Videos, etc).
I just decided to create the folders I needed. However, there were two issues I came across when doing this: The items in the 'Templates' folder don't show up in the context menu like they should More importantly, the icons for each folder would have to be manually changed for every new icon theme (if I wanted to use a new icon theme, I would have to navigate to the theme's folder every time for each icon I wanted changed) I'm not too concerned with the templates at the moment, but I was wondering how I would make these icons dependent on the current icon theme. Is there some package I missed installing?
By the way, if it makes a difference, I'm trying to set up the default Humanity icon set (well, not default for me, since I'm using Ubuntu Minimal). Also, sorry if this question has been posted before (or if I find the solution immediately after posting, which almost always happens to me), I didn't know exactly what to search for...

I've lost the disk that contained the /boot directory of a 9.10 installation.All other important partitions/directories are on a raid0 and working ok.So, I started trying to repair the system by booting from Ubuntu 9.10 live cd, creating a new partition on a new disk for /boot, mounting all partitions in its place for a chroot environment, doing the chroot, and then trying several reinstalls of packages which I supposed where enough for rebuilding /boot (linux kernel & grub), then I ran something like grub-setup which installed a new MBR on the new disk.Everything went ok, but when I reboot the new installation it gets me to a text mode login screen and of course I want to recover the previous configuration which ran gdm and auto login into GNOME I had before.After that I tried reinstalling some other packages like gdm but now the boot process "hangs" on the boot splash screen.

I looked through google but can't find an answer for this..... say I have a directory called "files"; this directory contains several other directories..... what I wanna do is delete ALL the files within the subdirectories, but NOT delete the subdirectory. Can this be done easily without having to run a command for each subdirectory?

I am trying to set up my local development environment to mimic the behaviour of my webhost: namely executing *.cgi files as CGI scripts, regardless of their location. If I'm not mistaken, the default setup of Apache on Ubuntu has this set up for /usr/lib/cgi-bin only.
I have tried adding +ExecCGI to the /var/www directory settings in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default. I have also tried AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in the same <directory> block.

I am trying to use Banshee to sync my 5th generation iPod nano on a Lenovo laptop. When I plug the iPod in, it is recognized just fine by Banshee, however when I click on the iPod icon it tells me that it is unable to read the iPod because it has been used with a version of iTunes that saves a version of the database that Banshee can't recognize.
All of this is fine. I click on rebuild iPod database since I have no intention of using iTunes in the future with this iPod, and I don't mind losing the playlists or songs on the iPod (I have them all on the computer). The database rebuilds normally from all appearances, and after a short time I am able to read all songs on the iPod and transfer things back and forth.
The frustration comes into play with the fact that next time I load up the iPod on Banshee, it asks for the exact same process. It is unable to read the iPod, needs to rewrite the database, etc..
Is there some way to permanently alter the database that I'm missing, or is this an issue with 5th generation compatibility?

I am going to use 'rsnapshot' to create backups of my local & remote computers. My intension is that I can use these backups to restore disk images when needed -> install Linux from scratch and then copy the subdirectories from 'rsnapshot' backup to the new Linux installation.My question is what subdirectories should be excluded in the backup.

When I installed a new copy of my distro on another partition, in order to preserve all the settings from my old my user account, I made a user account with the same name on the new installation, and then copied my old user account's files (in their entirety) to the new user account, overwriting it. I did the copying from the root account (where else? I assume the new user account can't overwrite itself while it's open), and root became the owner of everything I copied, making it impossible to open the new user account. So I then chowned the new user account's folder to myself. I still can't get in, because apparently, chown only chowned the top folder, leaving all subdirectories owned by root. How do I make chown include all subdirectories? I scanned the man page, but didn't see a parameter.

I set up a Debian box with Apache and everything works fine, but when trying to access files in a subdirectory, I get a 403 error. The error log shows the following:
Code:
(13)Permission denied: /var/www/site/images/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
I tried adding a <Directory> entry in the conf file for the site and even tried adding (with +r for all) an .htaccess file (.htaccess is not specified in the conf file and the root directory doesn't have one either), but nothing works.
