I've mounted a Windows directory with CIFS :
sudo mount -t cifs //SERVER/Bases/some/path ~/mnt/data -o user=windomain/login%password
This works :
cp mnt/data/blabla/file.mdb .
/usr/bin/mdb-export file.mdb tablename
But this doesn't :
/usr/bin/mdb-export mnt/data/blabla/file.mdb tablename
It fails with output
Can't alloc filename
Why ? How can I execute mdb-export on a mounted file without having to copy it locally first ?
I just did two things : install scm_breeze and mercurial :
git clone git://github.com/ndbroadbent/scm_breeze.git ~/.scm_breeze
~/.scm_breeze/install.sh
sudo apt-get install mercurial
And now my cd command seems to be gone :
dys@dys-tour:~/prog> cd ~
bash: /home/dys : is a folder
dys@dys-tour:~/prog> cd ..
.. : command not found
The terminals I opened before installing scm_breeze and mercurial are fine. The terminals I open now have the problem. I uninstalled scm_breeze, with no result.
What can I do to diagnose the problem and fix it ?
On previous versions of Ubuntu I had a menu listing installed applications, sorted by categories.
I never could find anything similar in Unity. The dash never lists any application so I must find the application's executable file in the console and manually make a shortcut.
I never was able to display anything looking like this.
Is there something I missed ? Do I have to install a lens or something ? How do you access the famous "application-lens" ?
I'm using a standard installation of Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and I'd like to make terminator transparent as we can easily do for the standard terminal.
Is that possible ?
I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 on the partition where I had Ubuntu 10.10, by first formating the partition (ext4) and keeping the same partition settings (the mount point is '/').
I use the Ubuntu installation disk I made on a USB drive.
Installation went fine until an error indicating a failure in APT configuration from the CD .
And now the system isn't bootable anymore :
Grub error, file not found
What can I do ?
