Undo/confirm delete option

[hotnikkelz]

Hi I've picked up ubuntu again, and trying to get into the swing of things again.

When i accidentally delete something, is there an undo option, and also is there a way to enable an option that asks me to confirm delete?

Using the GUI puts things into the Trash, using the command line deletes permanently.

Yea i'm aware it goes into trash, i wanted to know if it's possible to just undo instead of having to go into trash and restore the file and/or if there is an option to enable a confirm delete, in case i delete something accidentally.

On an unrelated note.
I have an AMD x3 720 black cpu, with an HD 4870. I cannot open the catalyst control centre. It gives an error message along the lines of being unable to open at this time. I'll give exact message later when i can. Any thoughts anyone?

I get slight lagging with compiz effects, I'm not sure why, i've seen vids of ppl with PCs of lower specs performing better with the effects. May be a driver issue?

hi
in your ~/bashrc ---> alias rm='rm -i'
may be this can help you a little bit. ( but not for undo ).
on every rm you will be ask for " .... realy want .... ?.
but be careful that other scripts will run without to confirm your "rm" command ( you can use : unalias rm to set the alias back )
ciao

oh, thanks for the help, not going to do what you suggested just as yet. It's a bit too complicated for me to understand at this time. I'll leave it as it is for now until i get more prominent with the ins and outs of ubuntu. I thought there was an easy quick fix for what i was asking haha

THere really seems to be a an ATI/compiz problem...it's common it seems, i've read up and saw people talking about back fill clear, or backfill patches etc. But I have no idea what that even means :/
