    [ubuntu] Re: Copying folders between users

    Add the -r flag to copy folders.

    cp -r /home/earl/Desktop/xdimsum/* .

    Also remember that the new files will be owned by root.
    Change the owner with
    chown -R NEW_USER .

    #!/bin/sh
    uname -n
    cd Source/Bin
    java -Xmx1024m -cp .:Server
    read -p "Press Any Key To Continue"

    This assumes Source/Bin is in your home directory and that Server is a subdirectory in there.

  7. [ubuntu] Re: Hard Drive Full - FIles in dir / are over 200GB

    I'm guessing that you made your partitions a bit too big.

    run
    df -h

    That will show partition sizes and consumption. Post that back here.

    Try this:

    Run in a terminal:
    alsamixer -V all

    scroll over to Mic and turn it down to 0. This is so there is no feedback.

    Scroll over to Mic Capt or Capture. Turn this all the way up.

    If it's just like that, curl will display the file

    curl url > file

    Will save it on your computer.

    This is by no means a complete list. I know that mplayer, vlc, totem and xine all can. Those are all in the repositories so just apt-get install them and see if you like one.

    The T replaces the execute bit. It means that the user can only delete or modify the files in the directory that they own or have write permission for.
