Re: undo rm -rf *

If you want something a bit more polished, you might check out "nrm", available at http://www.omnisterra.com/walker/linux/nrm.html It's a C program written to have the same arguments, return codes and side effects as /bin/rm to the extent possible. It moves files into the hidden sub-directory ".gone" instead of removing files. You can remove files with "-s" and you get sequenced backups - all files are saved with a time-stamp suffix for fine grained file restores. There is a program "urm" to unremove the file, but most users just do "ls .gone" to see what they've recently removed and then just "mv" it back to their working directory. There is an associated cron job that runs every day to permanently remove all deleted files that are older than a configurable age. The default is 3 days so you can get things back on Monday that you nuked on Friday. It's been running on HP-UX since about 1987, and on linux since 1997. I'd consider it pretty solid at this point. kind regards, -- Rick Walker

Can't Load Fedora 15
by Bill Kuns 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

My computer died, so I have to make a new one. The thing comes up nicely, but when I try to load the Fedora 15 I've been using, it won't go. I keep getting this screen which demands that I select a driver. What driver? Where do I find the blasted thing? Isn't there a driver on the Fedora 15 DVD? I hope someone can help. Bill Kuns

Fedora 18 won't print in Landscape mode.
by Mickey 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Has anyone had this problem, even tho you change settings to print Landscape it will only print in Portrait There is a Bug report, I assume on this problem and they said they would test the problem in Fedora 19, does this mean we will not see a fix in Fedora 18 ? we will have to wait 6 months or longer till Fedora 19 comes out, I hope not . https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907364

Hello, default 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 f18 install kernel is ok. Instead both kernel-3.8.4-202.fc18 and 3.7.9-205.fc18 stop at boot with error and systemd emergency shell and journalctl shows like in this picture: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvd0Z0bExhTDYxQjQ/edit?usp=sharing any hint?

driver for a printer connected to a remote computer
by antonio montagnani 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

A printer connected to a computer on my network is easily discovered but driver is generally a Raw generic driver: therefore I cannot use part of options (i.e. printing multiple pages on a single sheet and so on). If I want to have full functionality I have to install driver by hand using system-config-printer. (I am using a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer) Is this behaviour normal??

Fedora 18 "software": "check for update" hangs
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

When I selected "Software" and within that chose the menu item to check for updates, the process worked for a while and then apparently made no more progress but ate 100% of the CPU. It is kind of scary interrupting an update, but after about half an hour of no progress, I decided that there was no other way. Do this in a superuser shell instead. It works and gives better feedback: yum update See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922697> PS. I consider software: check for updates less convenient than the pre-F18 "sofware updates".

Read AIFF metadata
by Ranbir 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hi Everyone, I bought some AIFF tracks from Beatport the other day. I prefer them over WAV because the AIFF have embedded album art, song name, etc. I loaded them up in Audacious (F17+GNOME) which played them happily. But, it's not reading any of the metadata. All of the fields are displayed as empty. I tried VLC and mplayer, too. Still nothing. I downloaded the same tracks on to a Windows 7 PC and listened to them with VLC. VLC read the metadata without any problems. Hmmm.... I then installed Kid3 to see if it could read the metadata. Sure enough, it was all there. So, the tracks are clearly not broken. I tried converting the AIFFs to FLAC with ffmpeg and flac, but the metadata was still missing. I'd appreciate a recommendation for an audio player that can read AIFF metadata in GNOME or better yet, how I can convert these AIFFs to FLAC and keep the metadata intact.
