I have a little c-program, d, that takes a long time and produces a lot of text output. When I run the the program with ./d I can see the output being scrolled on the screen but if I do
./d > d10.txt I can't read d10.txt with cat d10.txt until the program has finished. Why is this so and what can I do to monitor the output while the program is running? Thanks for any tip H

If I as root in Nautilus at the top directory open the properties I get:

Name: /

Type: Folder (inode/directory)

Contents: 1 560 503 items, totalling 414,8 GB

Trying root@nilx:/# locate * | wc I get

2997356 3450407 217324980

and root@nilx:/# tree -ia gives me

277432 directories, 3293850 files

(directories+files=277432+3293850=3571282)

So how many files do I have?

I want to automatically mount a sshfs directory at login. So I add this line to the end of my otherwise ok profile:

/usr/bin/sshfs [email protected]:/klipp klipp

This however results in

Error found when loading /home/he/.profile

and no mounted directory. SSH trust is established with .ssh/authorized_keys.

The command works without a glitch if issued after login. Thanks for any tip.

I tried to fsck a NTFS disk with gparted on my Ubuntu 16.04 and get the error message below which advices me to "Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!". Now I have no Windows installation, I do, however, have a Windows virtual machine. Can I use it for the repair or is there any other way to accomplish the necessary repair?

Thanks in advance for any tip

I can't login with Nautilus SFTP to a server on my local network.

I only get the message:

(Norwegian) "Oops! Något gick fel.Har inte nödvändiga rättigheter för att komma åt den begärda platsen."

Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the requested location.

With Bash I can login with SSH and SFTP without any problems and in Nautilus this worked earlier without a glitch. What has gone wrong and what can I do?

I am using Ubuntu 16.04

Over the years my Ubuntu has grown into a rats nest with not less than 5 disks and the disk my system sits on is full. Now I want to clean up and have bought a larger disk to which I cloned my system disk. Unfortunately grub sits on one of the other disks and boot-repair refuses to move grub to my new disk. What can I do besides a complete new installation? Thanks in advance for any tip. H

I want sometimes to be able to login as root into the Unity desktop manager. I made a fresh install of ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-amd64 and in order to be able to login as root added the line: greeter-show-manual-login=true to /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf This leads to that I can't login to the desktop at all and I am only given the message "The system is running in low-graphics mode". The system is however running in the background, I can login to the terminal with Alt-F1. In my older installation of the original ubuntu-16.04 this has worked without a glitch. My system is a laptop, Yoga Pro 2. What is wrong and what can I do about it? Thanks in advance H

I can't log in to my Ubuntu 16.04 desktop any more. Other accounts show no login problems. I can, however, login to the same account from the terminal (ctrl-alt-f6) or ssh. I can also log in as root to the desktop. I have checked and reset the password, rebooted etc. but to no avail. What can I do? H

Thanks I have 11 GB in my home directory and I am using the right keyboard input language and CapsLk is off but still no login. H

Unfortunately the bookmark pane in Nautilus offers no sub-folders and on my system only about 40 bookmarks can be visible at the same time.

The bookmarks are stored in in a pre-set file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks. Presently I use different bookmark files for different projects something that really is a hassle.

Any tip on howto improve on this is appreciated.

Is there any possibility to use different bookmark files for different projects on Nautilus startup or may we expect sub-folders in the near future?

I have a dual boot Ubuntu 14.04<>Windows 10 system. It has two SSD-drives, 256 GB for Windows and 128 GB for Ubuntu and one 1 TB HDD for data. Ubuntu works without any problems, Windows 10, however, often hangs for minute long periods something that is very annoying. If I physically remove the Ubuntu SSD Windows seems to be ok, also if I via BIOS, skipping GRUB, boot directly into Windows the problem seems to disappear. I would like to understand what causes the problem and what I can do about it. Thanks in advance for any tip. H

PS The upside is that I now prefer working with Linux.
