mystery of missing file modifications (hybrid drive + Ubuntu 12.04)

http://askubuntu.com – Last week (Sep 10) I worked a whole day (on my Ubuntu 12.04 HP elitebook 8530p laptop) using a tex editor (TexWorks) and Jabref to maintain a Bibtex library. Today however I noticed all my modifications of that day are lost! The 'Date Modified' date on the files indicate the last changes two weeks ago (Sep 4). My first reaction was to look at the editors for not properly saving due to either program bugs or file permission problems but after finding no problems and when I launched my online backup program CrashPlan (which saves file modifications every 15 minutes) my latest modified files had (HowTos)

add file to Vanila kernel 1 year 20 weeks ago

I am compiling a Vanila Kernel 3.0.1 with some modifications to the netfilter/ipvs/ files.

I have a group of utility functions that I want to have in a new file. I created the file ip_vs_load_funcs.c, put it in the netfilter/ipvs. I modified the Makefile of the netfilter/ipvs/ to compile the new file.

I am trying to do a program that reads a tga file, apply some modifications on it an then write the modified version on the HD in the same file. First I read the file. After ending the read operation, I closed the ifstream instance and then modified the content in memory. So far, so good. Now I went to open a ofstream object so that I can write the modified data back to the file.

I would really like to preserve a file's original modified date and pass it back to the file as the same attribute after a script has worked on it.

Obviously, there are a lot of web pages on TAR out there.

I believe that an earlier version of Dolphin enabled one to search for a file by date. This facility seems to have gone.

[TOOL / APP] Dual-Boot Builder 13 weeks 5 days ago

Since the dual-boot kernels require some specialized modifications to the ROM zip that are leading to a little confusion, I threw together an app that will take the zip for the "second" ROM and modify it to be compatible.

Currently the included file browser can be used to select files, or you can open a third-party file browser, such as Root Explorer, and use the send option on the file

Hi All,

I am recently having problems with the compilation of my C++ source files with make.

The modifications to the source files are recognized and, hence, the sources get re-compiled successfully in a certain machine while the modifications can not be recognized at all on another machine, and the old object files are kept being used to create the binaries.

For some reason, some of my files have a last modified date in the future. In addition to this, file operations in PHP are SUPER slow. For example, rebuilding the Symfony2 cache can take over 40 seconds (its takes 1-2 on my MacBook Pro).

Notice the time for ListingsCRUDController.php. It just says "2012".

So I want MEncoder to encode all png files as an avi file from the earliest date modified to the last date modified, and I'd like each frame to be spaced out by 3 seconds.
