linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello all, I created a "Shared Files" folder in /home and changed the security of this folder to allow rwx access by a group of users (2 users in group). I am trying to redirect their documents, pictures, and videos folder's on these users (/home/userprofile/documents) to point to a single location at (/home/Shared Files/documents) in order to consolidate the location of the files. Is this possible? I have tried various things such as editing the /home/userprofile/.config/user-dirs.dirs and ect with no avail. Any ideas would be helpful. (Hardware)

I want to use Group Policy to redirect my users' My Documents folders to their network user folders. When I choose the GP setting that says "Redirect to the user's home directory", it changes all of my users' folder names to "My Documents" on my server. According to this article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947222, the behavior is by design, but it doesn't seem right.

I've shared a folder, then logged in to another user and mounted in to ~/Documents. User is Standard, has the group samba.

I have tried a lot of permissions with chown, chmod and so on. The user with which i have shared folder (the one, that has mounted that folder onto his ~/Documents) can see all folders, can create files in there and can open files as read only - and that is the problem.

Strange. You should have no problem. I use encfs. I guess I can just tell you how I have it setup and maybe that will allow you to see what is wrong with your setup.I have a directory ~/.Documents and the unencrypted pass-through directory is ~/Documents.

I somehow moved my documents folder from the its original place (home) to my desktop, now on my desktop it has the documents icon and if I click on my documents library it opens up. But I don't want it their and when I move it back to home it looks just like a regular file folder and when I click on my documents library it says, Could not find "/home/jordiston/Desktop/Documents".

Hi,

I am helping my dad with his computer and he has the messiest folder organisation imaginable.

Would it be possible to create a script which moves all images not in the Pictures folder to pictures, all documents not in Documents to Documents, videos to Videos etc?

Hello,

I have used openSuse 11.1 KDE for a long time but I wanted to give GNOME a try. So I installed openSuse 11.2 GNOME and copied all my home files back to my home folder. But by default, GNOME used Documenten instead of Documents so I moved all my Documents to Documenten and removed the folder Documents.

What I am trying to do is bind: /home/username/Dropbox/Documents to /home/username/Documents on startup.

A bit about current setup:

It is windows 2008 R2 AD servers (all of them are 2008R2) and couple locations which set as Sites. Each location has DFS on AD server. Roaming profiles are not used nor configured. Users have their home folder configured as mapped S: drive to DFS shared folder.

Hi,

I just have some general questions about shared folders. On ubuntu 12.04 I've share the folder /home/shared and chmod it 777, because I want everyon on the local network to be able to create/delete stuff in it. ... But even still, if the location /home/shared is chmoded 777, all files created there from other clients will get drwxr-xr-x and owner and group usually set to noboy nogroup.
