I am trying to look for all XML files in a particular directory and all sub-directories (recursively) inside it.
ls -R *.xml is only listing files in the current directory. I am quite sure, the sub-folders themselves have several .xml files, but none are showing up.
Is this a configuration issue?
I was just wondering, is it efficient to have the entire Ubuntu file system on a Windows file.
Currently I am using the option to directly boot from Ubuntu, as opposed to running it as an application in Windows. Even so, I notice a slow boot and sluggish performance.
Just to add, I am running a Dual Core, 1 GB RAM machine. Could the performance be slow due to low configuration of the machine.
I have recently installed Ubuntu on my Windows machine using the ~2.8 MB windows Installer. The installer then downloaded the necessary stuffs to complete the setup. This process took around 2 hours on a 5 mbps download speed.
On reviewing the initial installation, I have noticed that a lot of applications are installed, some of which I may or may not use.
My point is, is there a way to setup Ubuntu, so that the minimal amount of applications will be installed, and thus speed up the setup process by reducing the downloaded content.
I have an Ubuntu Bootable Installation CD.
How to install from the CD to a VirtualBox on Windows after creating a virtual machine as described here.
The link mentions about downloading Ubuntu disk image (iso file), but I would like to skip this step as I have a bootable CD already.
Suppose I install Ubuntu on a Virtual Box, will I be able to use my Windows Internet connection, which is connected through a wireless device that Ubuntu is unable to detect?
I understand that if you install Ubuntu on Windows using Wubi, there are disk performance issues since the entire system is mostly concentrated on a single file.
What about the case of a Virtual Box, will it have improved performance over just installing on Windows with Wubi, or underneath they are the same thing.
Many Open Source projects provide their source code in different version, for the various systems such as Windows, Debian, Fedora etc. Since Ubuntu is Debian based, should downloading the project for Debian suffice and I won't have to do any modification to it?
One example I would like to give is Code::Blocks, they have a project source file for Debian and none for Ubuntu. So this Debian version can be downloaded and can be easily built in Ubuntu, right?
I am new to Ubuntu and I am not quite familiar on how to add Shortcuts on the Desktop. I an experienced Windows user and my intuitions didn't help to achieve this.
I have written a C++ program and complied it to produce a.out file. However, whenever I try to run it, I get Permission Denied. I read that we can use sudo, but I can't quite get it to work. I use something like, sudo "./a.out" but that too doesn't work.
Edit:
Here is the message I get when I try "./a.out".
bash: ./a.out: Permission denied
