http://ubuntuforums.org – Here's my situation... Three or Four years ago I had need of some more storage space for photos. I had an old PC case sitting in my garage and enough money to buy a 500 Gig HD (Huge at the time...), but not enough to buy a new system or an OS. I downloaded Ubuntu at the suggestion of a friend and created a shared folder which I accessed via the home network. Fast forward to today. I just built a new PC with Win7 Ultimate. The old PC died, but the data on the HD is fine, except I can't seem to copy or use any of it. I put the HD in an external HD case and tried to copy the files to my ne (Hardware)

A friend dropped off a Netbook and asked if I could install Ubuntu on a 128gig SSD he just purchased. I had to install the SSD first. The SSD was an external and was in it's own case. All I had to do was remove it from the case, install it in the Netbook and take the Hard Drive out of the Netbook and install it in the external case, and do a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.

I have an OSX Mountain Lion Laptop connected to and ubuntu 11.10 system in my local network and tried to copy one rather large .csv file from the OSX machine to the ubuntu machine. I stopped the file transfer as I realised it created several empty files in the target folder.

I now have a few hundred files sitting there which I can not delete using:

Code: sudo find .

On Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64. I have been using this computer with Ubuntu for a couple of years, and it has worked perfectly.

This HD is just one year old.

It is a 2TB HD. I have been using it mostly for a partition of 50GB for the Root folder, the /Home folder was just storing my backups and the profiles of the applications I have been using. So I coudl say I have not making use of this HD.

VMware vSphere 4 SAN storage with multiple data-stores No vCenter

I shut-down a virtual machine and using the data-store browser did a copy/paste to copy the VM to a new datastore with additional space. The file copy performance was very poor, and due to time constraints I decided to cancel the copy task.

I am wondering, when you select the option of just "Try Ubuntu" instead of installing, where does Ubuntu store the files that you download / copy / save?

I right click in the Home folder, and it specified I had 4GB free space.

When I copy files from my camera (connected via USB) to the SSD in my laptop a few files get copied and then the copy stalls. I'm not sure why, any ideas or things to investigate appreciated, or bug reports to go and look at.

I have read this answer - the camera (Canon 40D in case that matters) mounts fine using gvfs.

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping that someone can explain very easily to me which would be my best option.

My machine is dual boot on the primary drive, but over the past year I have only gone to windows for a music notation program and a family tree program.

My machine has two hard drives my second hard drive is fat32 and is shared with windows.

I have a folder in my server which contains some files. These are automated that means everyday we get new files automatically which will overwrite the old ones. So want to take a back up for this data. How can i copy all these files in to a another folder by renaming the files with current date while copying.

ex : i have a folder named folder1 which contains 4 files.

I was wondering the best way about finding files that were created today and copy them to a directory (grep ?). There can be multiple files for todays date or none. I am looking to copy all of the .lis files for todays date.
