<b><span style="font-size: large;">Creating a folder using the command:</span></b><br />
The command used to create a folder is <b>mkdir .</b>Open up the terminal and type :<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b> mkdir myfolder</b><br />
<br />
A new folder named myfolder will be there in your home directory.You can make folders anywhere in your system.But you must mention the directory address for your folder with folder name otherwise the folder will be created in the current directory.<br />
Eg: to make a folder in the directory /tmp use the following command.<br />
<br />
<b>mkdir /tmp/myfolder</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Extra note : </b>Normally your system will not display any message after creation of the folder. If you add the parameter -v to the mkdir command you will get a message after the creation of the folder (eg: <b>mkdir myfolder -v</b>)<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Removing a file or folder</span></b><br />
The Linux kernel consider folder and file as same .You can remove any file or folder using the command <b>rm .</b><br />
the usage of the command is <b>rm [option] <file> .</b><br />
Here are the important options you might use.<br />
-f (forcefully removes file with no prompting)<br />
-v (Explains what is being done)<br />
-r (Removes files recursively in a directory.It is used when the folder contains subfolders.)<br />
I just mentioned the syntax above. But you need just a single command to remove a folder that is<br />
<b>rm -rf /tmp/myfolder</b><br />
<br />
here '-rf' is the option with the command which says that files will be removed recursively and forcefully. And /tmp/myfolder will be the folder we want to delete.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757255436413335542.post-49280246659460719682012-02-08T09:22:00.000-08:002012-02-08T09:31:35.400-08:00Handling Folders and Files with Linux command Line[part1]<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">As
we know Linux command Line is the powerful tool for a user. First of all let us discuss about 3 basic commands which helps you to manage files and folders.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>pwd</b></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>ls

</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>pwd
:</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b>This command prints the
present working directory. That is if you want to know actual
location where you are standing in your terminal section ,just type
pwd . It makes your navigation better.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><b>ls</b> :</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
ls command is used to list the files and folders in the current
directory .It is similar to the 'dir' command in Windows. It is
important to mention about some parameters those are used along with
ls to make this mapping efficient .</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> 1.
<b>ls -a</b> </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> The
above command will list all the files and folders including the
hidden</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> files.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> 2. <b>ls -r </b></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> This
command will list the contents in reverse order.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> 3. <b>ls *.txt</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> This
will list all the files of type .txt .You can change the extension
say .jpeg</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> for picture type files.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>cd
:</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> The simple command which is used to navigate to another directory
expanded as change directory. The syntax is <b>cd <directory></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>eg</b>:
cd /usr/bin will move the current directory to /usr/bin.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Note </b>: You can navigate to
the previous directory by the command '<b>cd ..</b>'</span><br />

The Linux started its historical journey in 1991. It is been 20 years now. The growth was really dramatic , It will continue its journey in that way. Once again Happy new year for all who loves Linux and opensource.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757255436413335542.post-27149109683347990922011-12-14T22:57:00.000-08:002011-12-14T22:57:53.144-08:00Searching strings with grep command<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Let me discuss a situation- I have
saved all of my contacts information as separate files and put it in
a folder called contacts. I have to find the file which contain the
name Mr. John. I get started with opening each files in my text
editor and ctr+f to find john..it was too difficult since I have
about 300 files to search. But working a little smart I found john in
2 minutes..How ? The grep command .<br />
Grep is a command-line text-search
utility originally written for Unix. The name comes from the ed
command g/re/p (global / regular expression / print). The grep
command searches the given file for lines containing a match to the
given strings or words. grep displays the matching lines by default.<br />
How to use grep command :<br />
<b>1</b>.Searching for a string in a
file</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> $ grep train vehicles.txt</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the above usage will print all the
lines containing the text train from vehicles.txt</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>2</b> .Searching in multiple files
of same type :</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> $ grep train *.txt</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the above command will print all the
lines with text 'train' from all the text files in that folder</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>3</b>. Searching by ignoring case
sensitivity (with parameter -i)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> $ grep -i train vehicles.txt
</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the above command will search all the
'train' sequences wihtout matching the cases.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>4</b> . Word search
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> $ grep -w train vehicles.txt</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
Selecting all lines containing train as a word, i.e. surrounded'
by white space (speedtrain<br />
and train do not not match) may be
accomplished with the -w option flag<br />
<b>5</b>. Count lines when words are matched<br />
<br />
<b> $ grep -c 'word' /directory</b><br />
<br />
<br />
grep can count the number of times that the pattern has been
matched for each file using -c (count) option.<br />
<b>6</b>.Search recursively in an entire directory
<br />
<br />
<b> $ grep -r 'word' /directory </b><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You can search recursively i.e. read
all files under each directory for a string .<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
In Linux the two important variants of
Operating Systems are Debian And Red hat. For off line installation
of softwares Debian variant uses files of type .deb and Red hat uses
.rpm files. Most of us uses Debian variant OS and our famous Ubuntu
is a Debian variant OS.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
>>What you will do to install an
rpm file in a Debian variant system , if you can't find out the Debian version of that item ?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There is a way to install an .rpm file
in Debian variant systems. You can use alien package converter to do
so. Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg,
stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a
package from another distribution than the one you have installed on
your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred
package format and install it.</div>
<b>Note:</b>Alien should not be used to replace important system
packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are
essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages
are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the
different distributions cannot be used interchangeably. In general,
if you can’t un-install the package without breaking your system,
don’t try to replace it with an alien version.<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Install alien converter :</b></span><br />
The software is available at Ubuntu Universe repository.So add
that repository in software sources (Option is available there) ,open
up the terminal and type
<br />
the following commands :<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install alien
<br />
<h4 class="western">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Installing
the .rpm file</span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;">First convert the .rpm file to .deb by the following
command(assumed that your files are in the home directory ) :</span><br />
$sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm<br />
this will produce a .deb file with the same name.now use dpkg to
install the .deb file .<br />
$sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">What
will we do if we got a situation that we have to transfer a file of 5
GB and the available resource is just two 4 GB Pen drives. I used to
stuck in such situations many times especially when you have to copy
a Blue-ray film of 5-7 GB s. Most of the times we have to depend on
the software s like zip manager . But the thing is that Without any
softwares we can simply split up our files using the Linux command
terminal,more simpler than the software method.</span></div>

<b>Step 1: Open Configuration Editor</b><br />
to do that hit ALT+F2 , then type gconf-editor and press Enter.<br />
<b>Step 2:</b><br />
Then go to apps -> nautilus -> desktop and simply uncheck (select <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>the row by double clicking on it) the box that says ‘Volumes Visible’.<br />
You have done .thats all . You can see an instant change in your action Now your desktop doesn't shows an icon when a drive or a volume is mounted...ENJOY :-) Here is the screenshot<br />

Ubuntu includes a top panel and a bottom panel by default. Most of us prefer to<br />
keep only one panel at the bottom just like the Windows Taskbar, perform the<br />
following steps :<br />
<br />
➢ Delete the bottom panel: right-click over it and click "Delete This Panel".<br />
Move the top panel to bottom: right-click over it, select "Properties" and<br />
change Orientation from "Top" to "Bottom".<br />
➢ Add running program buttons: right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel",<br />
scroll down and select "Window List", click "Add".<br />
➢ Replace the Menu Bar ("Applications-Places-System") with the "Main<br />
Menu" to save space in the panel:<br />
1.Right-click the "Menu Bar" and select "Remove From Panel".<br />
2.Right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel" and choose "Main Menu", click<br />
"Add".<br />
3.Right-click the items (Firefox, etc) and untick "Lock to Panel".<br />
4.Right-click the added "Main Menu", select "Move" to relocate it to the far<br />
left.<br />
➢ Pin Programs to the Panel :<br />
Frequently used programs can be easily pinned to the panel.<br />
1. Browse to the program from "Applications" or "Main Menu".<br />
2. Drag and drop the program to an empty space in the panel, or right-click the<br />
program and select "Add this launcher to panel".<br />
3. Right click the program icon, select "Move" and drop it to a new place in the<br />
panel.<br />
4. Right click the program icon and select "Lock to Panel".<br />
➢ Set Fully Transparent Panel:<br />
Go to Applications (or Main Menu) > Accessories > Terminal.<br />
1. Enter cp -R /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/<br />
2. Enter gedit ~/.themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/gnome-panel.rc (for Ubuntu<br />
11.04 or 10.10) OR gedit ~/.themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (for Ubuntu<br />
10.04), to open the file with gedit.<br />
3. Search for this line bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "img/panel.png" (for<br />
Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.10) OR bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"<br />
(for Ubuntu 10.04)<br />
4. Comment out the line by placing a # at the beginning of the line, like this:<br />
# bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = ...<br />
5. Save the file.<br />
6. Go to System > Preferences > Appearance, switch to the other theme and<br />
then back to the Ambiance theme.<br />
7. Then adjust panel transparency in panel properties.<br />
<br />
<br />
➢ Change Font Type and Color of Panel Clock<br />
The font type and color of the panel clock follow the windows<br />
text in a theme by default. In particular, if the font color is black and<br />
shown on a dark background through a transparent panel, you can't<br />
read the clock clearly, but you can tweak it by changing the font color. And <br />
you can define the font type for your panel clock<br />
as well.<br />
1.Open up the text editor Gedit and paste the following code:<br />
style "my-panel-clock"<br />
{<br />
fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"<br />
font_name = "DS-Digital Bold 16"<br />
}<br />
widget "*.clock-applet-button.*" style "my-panel-clock"<br />
2. Save the file as .gtkrc-2.0 (including the dot in front of the filename) inside <br />
your home directory /home/your_user_name.<br />
3. Log out and log back in (OR enter killall gnome-panel into the Terminal) to<br />
see the change.<br />
<b>Note :</b><br />
The DS-Digital font can be downloaded<a href="http://www.dafont.com/ds-digital.font"> here</a>. After downloading, unzip<br />
the file and install the font into the system for use<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The panels are much more flexible than the Windows Taskbar in that <br />
many items in the panels can be easily added, removed or configured.<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />

configurations..precisely hardware configurations. It is important to know about the hardware configurations of your computer, All of us know how to see the complete hardware information about computer using device manager...Then what about Linux ?<br />
How we can find all the information about the computer we are using..Lets learn two simple methods to do so ,We are able to do know all the information we need about our hardware..<br />
<br />
<b>METHODE 1: Geeky way (using command line)</b><br />
<br />
If you like to use the command interface to do such a job, to know about your system information completely we can use the following commands ..Open command prompt and type the following to get system information.<br />
<br />
<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />
sudo lshw<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
to save the report as an html file in your desktop type :<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
sudo lshw -html >systeminfo.html<br />
sudo mv systeminfo.html Desktop<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<b>METHODE 2: Using Hard info software (GUI METHODE)</b><br />
<br />
<br />
HardInfo can gather information about your system’s hardware and ,operating system, perform benchmarks,and generate printable reports either in HTML<br />
or in plain text formats. Currently it knows about PCI,ISA PnP, USB, IDE, SCSI, Serial and parallel port devices. It will be better for normal users.<br />
<br />
<b>Install HardInfo :</b><br />
<br />
Since it doesn't come default with Ubuntu u need to install it ,For that connect to INTERNET and open terminal(Ctr+Alt+T) and type the following code<br />
<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sudo apt-get install hardinfo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
To take hardinfo goto <b>Applications-->System tools-->Hardinfo</b> Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen shot <span id="goog_98052373"></span><span id="goog_98052374"></span>You can see the system Summary, OS details ,Hardware Informations or any information<br />
about your system on clicking them. You can also take a printable version of your<br />
system information by clicking Generate Report tab .<br />

We can mount the partitions whenever we needed. It’s not a bad idea to enable auto-mount of hard drive at system startup. That makes your accessibility better .Here we discuss about a method to do so.<br />
<b> PySDM</b> is a simple ‘storage device manager’ application (based on PyGTK) that allows full customization of hard drive mount points. To install you can search for ‘pysdm’ in synaptic package manager or Type the following command(s) given below– at Terminal<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
sudo apt-get install pysdm<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-CkNl-OyOs/Tg2ke2OvLEI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Q6OScESCf3U/s1600/jo.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-CkNl-OyOs/Tg2ke2OvLEI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Q6OScESCf3U/s320/jo.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Then open it from Applications -> System -> Storage Device Manager or simply search for it. Now you are ready to customize it – just select the drive or partitions and click on mount or any other options that you want to configure. Be careful, while handling with your hard drive.<br />
Enjoy :-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
