sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.X/directory_shared

recently, I reinstalled 4 of my PC under Focal Ubuntu 20.04.3 properly (from 0, nothing). 2 are completly OK, but 2 have a strange behaviour with the dash when I want to manage apps in folders. The way to do is to drag and drop icons with themselves. The first time to do this, create a folder ; then, you can drag and drop others icons in this folder, and you can even rename the folder. Everything is OK  ...

I executed command rm -rf * when i was in lib64 or a directory inside it.

I cannot remove a directory called “系统漏洞补丁”(please don't care the name of it) on Windows anyway, so I came to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and tried to remove it. But even I used rm -rf 系统漏洞补丁 . It said: rm: cannot remove '系统漏洞补丁': Directory not empty

I've mounted several folders from a my NAS and when I try to access them using Dolphin with KDE Plasma 5, it starts to read and try to get the number of elements of each folder.

It takes a lot of time to do that (even, several minutes) because I've got a huge library of files and folders inside.

Is it possible to disable this feature with remote folders or anything to avoid that behaviour?

Thanks!

I have a directory named IT-documentation. Using ls -l in the terminal at its parent directory level yields (among numerous other lines)

Now I say cd IT-documentation, then repeat ls -l. Among the numerous other lines this yields is

I trying to deal with spaces in directory names. As an example:

drive=/mnt/g; export drive
mydir="$drive/directory with spaces in name"
echo "$mydir"

The result:

/mnt/g/directory with spaces in name

Which of course, blows up on use, as bash sees this as separate arguments. The desired result would be something like:

"/mnt/g/directory with spaces in name"

as a single argument for subsequent process ...

Can namespace isolation be used to prevent a process from seeing the host directory tree. Or only allowing the process to see a part of the host directory tree or perhaps a completely different type of directory tree. Example: if host system has /, /bin, /system, /lib. I want the isolated process to see only /, /fakeDir /fakeDir2

First it only showed up for a split second and disappeared, and after that it appeared again and stayed. It looks like this:

I didn't have anything plugged in at the time so I don't know where it came from. It had some files in the folders but I don't remember them because I was nervous and just ejected it. Is it normal? BTW I still use Ubuntu 16.04 but I'm planning to upgrade.

I was trying to rename a file in /media/user/TOSHIBA EXT/Fotos/Chronologisch using mv, and I get the following error:

I recently ssh into my company's airflow server, so there are multiple users on this server. Whenever I make a new directory say it makes the directory in all of the other users as well. How can I set it up where I am only making a directory in one user, not all users on the server?

I tired of the continuous updates in Windows making my programs unusable. After an excursion to Linux Lite, I am now running Ubuntu on my Dell laptop because it was the supported distro. I'm not TERRIBLY stupid, I can program in C and I remember things like file permissions (user-group-everyone) from my SCO days. However, something I tried to do didn't have the effect I thought.
