I have a MP3 player which is owned by Root. I have tried the following: in terminal - chown as both my usual log-in and root operation not permitted. I ran chown as both su, root, and myself. In Nautilus - I can't change any of the file attributes again opening it as any of the users above. I used to be able to copy files over to the MP3 player but not the Sandisk but not I can't copy or do anything to the files on both.

I need to allow my Windows users to be able to check off "Read-Only" or "Hidden" attributes on our Samba share. Currently its not allowing me to do so.
After searching online, I set the map readonly, hidden and archive option to "yes". Then my entire files were hidden.
I'm having a hard time understanding the concept of the "map" option in smb.conf

GS 8.71 on f11. Using the eps2eps tool, some of a files colors get changed to RGB from CMYK. I see no flagging capable of changing this behavior. Is there another way or something I'm missing? Or is there a better place to ask about Ghostscript?

Recently installed Fedora 11 from CD on eeepc900HA. Update manager suggested 402 updates available. trying to update I get the following traceback error report:
Traceback (most recent call last):
On trying this process a second time after having selected specific packages I noticed that a prepare machine for upgrade package (not selected by me) seemed to be where the process stalled.
Trying a third time with attempt to upgrade some (random) python packages I get the same result via a system/admin/upgrade or download software .

I have two touch screen monitors tha tI'm configuring for a dual-head display.That is working.For the touch screens it's a bit more complicated, each touch screen requires that I apply a specific config file for each individual TS (touch screen). Each config file is unique to it display. for that I'm using xinput to apply those configuration.My problem here is that the TSs are the same model and show up under udev and xinput under the same the same name minus the different hardware IDs whish is the only way that I can currently distiguish them.So far I've experimented with tweaking the udev rules for a particular TS with no luck (more than likely because I might be doing it wrong).I ned to be able to tell the two appart when I apply the configurations in xinput so I can write a script that will do this automatically for me.

I am trying to find a workaround for incorrect grouping of windows in Docky, and I believe the problem lies with the WMClass attribute that is set for each window. However, I do not know how to view this attribute for open windows. Is there any way to do this?

Does linux kernel 2.6 support suid & guid?. I just read somewhere that "latest linux kernels does not support suid & guid as it can pose a security risk if the setuid attribute is assigned to executable programs that are not carefully designed". I need a confirmation about what I say is correct or if not please correct me.

I'd like to remove all directories of a certain depth that don't contain .txt or .log files -- is this possible? So far I have: find ~ -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 4 -type d -exec rm -r '{}' ; Is it possible to add in "only if the directory doesn't contain .txt and/or .log files"? Or do I have to start learning perl to do that?
For example:
dir 1:
hello.txt
runme.sh
dir 2:
runme.sh
oct12.log

I guess in most cases when extracting a tar achive ,we will get a directory with the same name as the archive file but different suffix. but in some unlucky case, as I met today, after extract a tar bar I find lots of files spread in the working directory, which is really nuisance.so what I want to learn from you is that how can I move thoes newly created files ? I know it should be some "find plus rm" fancy approch there, but I don't know exactly how.

I am trying to remove all the files in a directory hierarchy which a certain string inside the file (not the file name, it is the file content).
I can list out all the file name which has a string in the file using 'grep -r -l mystringlooking for'.
But how can I remove all the files returned by the grep ? I am trying this on ubuntu.

I need to delete all files inside remote directory using ssh P.S. The directory must not be deleted, so @Wes answer is not what I need. If it would be local dir, I would run "rm -rf dir/*"

How can you remove files containing a specific string?I have...Code:find |grep 'string'This may return several results and I wanted to rm the results.I also have...Code:ls -l |grep 'string'|awk '{print $9}'which also may return results.But point is, I can't supply the results as a parameter to rmI was thinking of looping but I don't know how to access the results as if they were an array or something.

Is there a way to do the rm command where I can remove files by owner. I run the standard ls -al command and I want to be able to remove the files that are owned by me in that current directory. One other step how can I remove files in all directories owned by me. I did the google search first guys and a majority of the pages just dealt with the basics like rm -r

I have a directory (Linux user) with a number of files which contain an added [!] to the end of each file name so that each file reads out as:
foo something [!].zip
bar something [!].zip
helloworld [!].zip
etc.
What is the quickest way to batch rename these to remove the ending [!] character combination from these file names?

I am considering removing all programs and software that handle images so that you cannot view images on the computer and .jpeg would be an unrecognizable file. It's impossible to remove the program that views images in Windows since Explorer is that program - a central Windows component, but I wonder if it is possible to use an alternative operating system like linux and remove the programs that handle images without affecting the system.
I need to do this because of the following problem. I had an internet filter installed but it became useless once certain proxy/circumventor sites such as www.ibypass.com were discovered, which allowed access to any website on the internet. Blocking proxy sites does not work because you can type "https" at the beginning of some of these web addresses and the internet filter cannot keep track of the secure browsing

I was doing some data recovery with Photorec and by the time I was done I have over 700 folders (recup_dir.).The only solution I was able to apply was the one posted by pljvaldez on this site dated 04-09-08, 09:01 AM. After doing the same thing for at least 70 times I decided to ask, so, is there anyone that knows how to delete multiple folders at the same time.
