I've got some files for a project that's due in a few weeks. The guy sent them in a zipx file. How would I extract the files from a zipx on OS X or Linux?
Hello all,

I'm running apache2/passenger2.0.3 (ubuntu 9.10 packages).
I can start up Webrick in the rails folder and run the app perfectly as I do on my development box with
script/server
Why then does apache/passenger fail to open the database, throwing a 500 and putting the following in the log?
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
could not open database: unable to open database file
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sqlite3/errors.rb:62:in `check'...
I am relatively new to the mac, and other than writing python scripts I can't figure out how to automate certain tasks like I would have in windows with a batch file.
Pointers and links to documentation would be appreciated.
I want to add a 1.5 - 2 TB hard drive to a Linux file and backup server we have in the office.
Will it make a difference if I'm using 5400 RPM vs a 7200 RPM hard drive? I was thinking about getting a Western Digital Green Drive or Samsung Ecogreen or similar.
I access a lot of files from a certain directory which is not ~ but say:
D:\Mijn documenten\My Dropbox.
What is the quickest way to 'find' a file in that directory within a new Emacs session? Using bookmarks?
Was playing with tftp and screwed up something in boot sequence. Eth2 fails to start at boot but allows to be restarted manually. Can not find error message in logs... so, which log file on ubuntu server would show why network interface (eth2) failed to up during boot process?
I want to get rid of them all.
For a li'l explanation on what field. Go into the search of file, move into the field with that name and without writing anything else, press the down arrow (you have to had used it before).
I am looking for an example for a nautilus (fie manager) connect to service custom location.

I downloaded some wedding photos into my external drive about a month ago. A total of 3 cards were downloaded into 3 different files. The first file lists all of the photos, about 600 images, but they have zero bytes. The other 2 files are fine. I can't recover the compact flash card because I have used it too many times since then. Is there any way to recover the images on my drive?
I like to configure my keys my way, so I wrote a keyboard symbols file and I put it in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cat
I use it by running setxkbmap cat -variant dvorak (and it works), but it doesn't show up in the console configuration (dpkg-reconfigure console-setup) nor in the Gnome keyboard settings... nor anywhere else, so I have to run setxkbmap every time.
I suppose that I have to register it somewhere, but where? Any hints?
Thanks!
How do I use a period in a Quicksilver object to do things like search for a file with a period? By default pressing period anywhere in an object causes Quicksilver to switch to text mode.
Optimally I would like period to only enter text mode when its at the start of the object. Or perhaps there is a wildcard I can use (* doesn't seem to work and . obviously doesn't :). Or perhaps there is an escape sequence for period?

In Linux, I'd like to know how to find the file(s) if any which as using a particular sector on the hard drive. There is a similar question here regarding Windows, however I need a Linux command line solution (this is a headless system).
I know that this would be impossible for an ordinary user. But here we are super users. Any trick that can delete a file that is currently in use in Windows?
I'm looking for a way to set a group of File Types to "Index Properties and File Contents" (Control Panel, Indexing Options, Advanced Options, File Types).
Basically I'd like to write a batch file that switches that setting for a large group of file types and be able to share it with my entire team. Clicking in the UI is time consuming for everyone.
This is a great solution for bringing up the GUI, but I'd like to create a batch file
What is the command line for Indexing Options?
Several months ago, I needed to reorganize my data across multiple external hard drives with my laptops primary hard drive as the go-between. My external hard drives are all encrypted with TrueCrypt.
It appears to me that somehow during the transfer of my files between the encrypted external drive an the unencrypted internal drive, the files were transferred "as-is" (in their encrypted state). The files range from very small to very large. It appears that this may have happened during one consecutive transfer session.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem, and if so were you able to fix it? Is there a way to recreate the encrypted partition, transfer the files, and then decrypt them to their usable state? Or can the files somehow be decrypted through other means?
UPDATE:
I am running Windows 7 (x64) HP now, but may have been runninG ENT. then. Toshiba Laptop 650GB HDD / 4GB Mem. Latest version of TC
I have used Puttygen to create a public and a private key, and then is ready to let TortoiseHg on Windows 7 do a clone by going to
ssh:[email protected]/somecode
but there seems to be no where to add the private key to TortoiseHg?
The file is already some where on hard disk as somefile.ppk Does someone know how to add it?
I can do mkdir messages
and then
touch messages/hello.txt
Is there a command that will do both - create the directory if it doesn't exist, and then the empty file?
something like: touch -p messages/hello.txt
Thanks in advance

While timethis.exe works fine for almost every application, it seems to fail for .bat files:
C:\test>timethis test.bat
TimeThis : Command Line : test.bat
TimeThis : Start Time : Fri Feb 26 19:46:30 2010
'test.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
TimeThis : Command Line : test.bat
TimeThis : Start Time : Fri Feb 26 19:46:30 2010
TimeThis : End Time : Fri Feb 26 19:46:30 2010
TimeThis : Elapsed Time : 00:00:00.070
While executing it on a regular command line is fine, timethis.exe fails for it. How do I fix this problem?
I search for any tool or batch command that allow me to copy file /folder from my local machine in a domain to a location in another remote server in different domain ?
Pretty obvious, How do I extract a background from a Windows 7 Theme file?
I like the background pics from some of the themes I've downloaded, but is there anyway I can get the pictures (background images) by themselves?
I tried using the comments feature in Windows Explorer in Windows 7, but I only get the option to add a comment only for certain file types like photos.
Is it possible to add comments to other files that I work on like Photoshop files.
