I've downloaded mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.6.3.tgz file using windows 7 and kept it on D:\Amra\Software\Developing Soft location.
When I right click this .tgz file using Ubuntu and see property it shows Location: /media/towhid/Amra/Software/Developing Soft. Now how will I unzip this .tgz file using tar command from terminal?
How do you make HDDs and partitions mount at startup on Ubuntu?
I always keep my media and data files on separate partitions - one 2tb HDD and a 400 odd gig partition. I have been trying to swap the default folder location for the home directory to my other drives.
It works when I change the /home/user_name/.config/user-dirs.dirs file to the directories I want, but only until I reboot the system. I am only assuming that the drives not mounting is the problem with it, but it would be helpful either way. If any one knows another reason for why the directories change back to default each time that would be good also.
I'm searching for a way to remap certain keys in ubuntu.
i.e.
I'd like to change PgUp to Home or PgDown to End.
Does a built-in command or a tool exist reassign keys in Ubuntu/GNOME?
Suppose I download a .deb package from a website and install it. (I assume that when I double click the .deb file, the package is installed through a GUI that interfaces with dpkg right?)
How can I uninstall it?
I'm planning on selling a USB external hard drive that currently contains an old Ubuntu installation with stored passwords and banking information.
How can I securely erase the drive before selling it?
