Copy of files in CLI and GUI... explain it to me...

i often felt KDE copying/moving/deleting is slow, which is why i decided to measure it...
So i did this little test.. cp a directory with lots of small files from ~/ to ~/some_subfolder
this is the result:
Copying with dolphin took 10 minutes.
Copying with cp -R took 3 minutes.
maybe anyone here has an explanation for this?

IMHO the overhead is because of abstraction layer(s): KDE file handling offers you the opportunity also to copy from/to FTP or SMB or whatever. if the progress bar also shows you the name of the file just copied, it is another little overhead (you said there was lot of files)
haven't seen the KDE sources, this is just a guess: a classical speed vs. comfort tradeoff

  • Cisco ISE CLI and GUI password expire

    I had Cisco ISE version 1.1  i face a problem with the CLI and GUI password, as it expire and i can't login, i do the password reset using the ISE DVD,
    i navigate to the ISE CLI, and do the following commands:
    conf t
         password-policy
              no password-expiration-enable
    and reset the GUI admin password, using the command:
         # application reset-passwd ise admin
    from the ISE GUI i had remove the option for diable admin account after 45 days.
    but after 60 days the password expire again.
    so kindly advise what to check for this expire issue.

    Hi Mostafa,
    Yes, the last reply was more towards GUI password-mgmt because in maority of cases it happens with UI admin account. I need to know if you've restarted the ISE after disabling the expiration from the CLI because what I read few weeks ago in an internal defect that password policy configurations are not preserved on cli after restart so just to check could you please check the current settings on CLI w/ the help of show run | in password-policy.

  • HC - A scientific, graphing, supp complex nums CLI and GUI calculator

    I uploaded all three packages to AUR! Please use the PKGBUILDs there if you want to install this now. Thanks a lot goran'agar and foutrelis for help with the PKGBUILDs.
    AUR links:
    mapm : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32319
    hc : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32321
    hcg : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32320
    UPDATE (28.2.2010) : I now also finally have a github account where you can find the newest version of hc (cli only) which obviously has all the newest things I implemented but on the other hand it may be unstable. Anyway, here's the link : http://github.com/houbysoft/hc
    Hello ArchLinux users,
    some time ago, I was a little unsatisfied with existing calculators (either it was too memory/CPU-consuming (it had to work well, among others, on a 128MB RAM computer), or it lacked the functions I needed (f.ex. nCr and nPr)), and so I decided to write my own command-line (now there also is a GUI version) calculator.
    Here is a little description:
    The goal of this program is to provide an open source calculator with a
    simple and easy-to-use interface, similar to a command prompt, but a lot of
    options and a multitude of functions.
    You can also type "help" in the command prompt if you need any help - or
    contact me here.
    There are two major versions of HC -- a CLI (command line interface) and a
    GUI (graphical user interface).
    To get you an idea, have some screenshots:
    CLI version
    GUI version
    I thought some of you might like it, so I posted it here. It is of course open source (GPL v3) and cross-platform (precompiled for Linux and Windows).
    The calculator's homepage is
    http://houbysoft.com/hc/
    If you're interested, you'll find a lot more details there.
    Please post some feedback/criticism etc.; also please report any bugs - I started this project ~2 months ago so it is not yet completely stable and complete.
    Thanks for reading, give it a try!

    Thanks a lot, I'll test it out soon.
    If you'd help me with the PKGBUILD for my app itself, the full links are:
    http://houbysoft.com/download/hc-VERSION-TYPE.tar.gz
    where VERSION is the version number, so for example 0.4.2, and TYPE is either linux or src.
    I'm not sure which format of URLs is needed so please ask me if you need something else.
    Also, for windows versions, the urls are:

    (in case you care).

    BTW, have you considered using the python interpretor for your calculations? If the functions you need aren't already in it, you can easily add them.
    Functions and variables:
    I'll put it on my roadmap
    For the python interpreter : yes, I did, but dismissed it because:
    - it's not very convenient - you have to retype stuff to floats if you don't want only integer results
    - it's slow (again, this had to work and take a very small amount of CPU and memory on a 333MHz and 128 MB RAM system), and in algorithms where speed is crucial this would be even more of a concern
    - I know about psyco to speed it up, but AFAIK it doesn't work on 64bit processors
    - I wanted it to be small and minimalistic, installing a python distribution imo isn't
    - I like programming, writing a calculator is fun

  • Copy only files from folders and subfolders

    I need a help.
    I have issue with too long destination part, so I want to use some script or command, to copy all files (just files) from all folders and subfolders to one destination (one specified folder).
    I don't need folders and subfolders, just files.
    I have this issue on Windows 7 Professional.
    Best regards

    Try this batch file. It will overwrite files with duplicated names.
    @echo off
    set Source=d:\My Documents
    set Dest=d:\My New Folder
    xcopy /y "%Source%" "%Dest%\"
    for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s "%Source%"') do xcopy /y "%%a\*.*"  "%Dest%"

  • URL/webservice to copy a file between tiers

    I have an application (on tier X) that needs to be supplied with a URL which will be used to post an xml to. I'm assuming the URL to be in the form of a webservice capable of downloading the file onto Tier Y (includes weblogic server & rdbms 11g). I originally looked at loading said xml file straight into a DB table but I'm finding it difficult to find a way to do this so I am now looking at download the file to the OS on Tier Y first (I can upload into DB easily enough thereafter).
    With this in mind can anyone help me with any sample code that can be deployed to a weblogic server to achieve this requirement?
    Any hints, help or pointers are more than appreciated.

  • Unresponsive system when copying large files drive-to-drive (x86_64)

    I'm running Arch x86_64 on a quad core Xeon processor/P35 motherboard w/ 4 gigs of RAM.  I also have two SATAII, 7200 RPM HDDs.  For the most part, Arch is a VERY responsive platform.  I am noticing some really odd unresponsiveness that only happens when I copy large files from one hdd to another hdd.
    Symptoms:
    -Mouse cursor skips (doesn't move smoothly)
    -Windows such as firefox or shell don't move smoothly across the screen if I move them
    -Keyboard lag - as I type this post ) my fingers are going faster than the text is appearing
    Once the copy is finished, everything is normal again.  I swear I read someone else reporting this behavior, I just can't find it. Two questions:
    1) Is normal for the x86_64 kernel?
    2) If not, what can I tweak to remedy it?
    EDIT: Ack!  Found the post I remembered reading:

    if the file is bigger than 4gig(uncompressed) then u need swap partition, as the first thing it does is copy the file to memory and if it overflows it is bad. then your server is 1/3 options, either server/middle/desktop. if it is server, it doesn't care what framerate u get on X. then there is the timer. I'm running mine at 300 but arch's default should be 1000. the higher it is the more it "checks" what needs to be done with files, events, etc. then there is the file system type and block size factor. if ur block size is really low like me(1024k) then ur hd has to write more times(on and off) just to write out the huge file. so for huge files, format with huge block size(4096k?) so that the hd does less work.

  • Copying sound files in ibooks

    I can't find the source sound files in my ibooks that I created myself. How can I save them on my desktop in IBA?
    Thanks...
    Message was edited by: baydal

    The .iba file is essentially a glorified .zip folder. Once you drag an item into iBA, it gets copied into a specific location within the file, and all sorts of magical xml happens in the background.
    Files can be extracted from iBA files reasonably easily...
    Download Zipeg (or similar), make a copy of your .iba file, (just to ensure you don't harm your original by accident). Drag the copied .iba file into Zipeg, and search through the files to find the clip you want, then alt+click and drag to copy the file onto your desktop.
    Job done.

    HI Jeff,
    How much available disk space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see
    Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
    First, Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Discovered this for Error 43 also. Not sure if it applies. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2039

  • I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive?

    I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Until I get it fixed Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive? It's ILife 11 if that makes a difference. Finder won't let me see the files to copy. I know - dumb question.
    Thanks.
    Bob

    Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
    I use my system for business and need it to work reliably.  Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
    If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase.

  • How do i retrieve file vault protected files from an external hard disk that used to be my mbp's hard drive? the hard disk got corrupted and will no longer boot. I put it in an enclosure and attempted to copy my files but failed because of FV encryption.

    This external hard disk used to serve as the main drive of my mbp. It got corrupted and the OSX would no longer load. I upgraded to a 500gb hd and used the old hd as an external drive. I tried to copy my files but i could not access them because of the filevault encryption. 110gb of hd space appears as used which means that my files are still in the drive. Is there a way to retrieve these files? thanks

    According to your post, you're using Leopard, so FileVault only encrypts your user folder (unlike Lion). On the mounted external drive, in your user folder, you should see a file called username.sparsebundle, with username being your user name. Double-click that file to open it and it should prompt you for a password. Type in your password and the file will mount as a volume in Finder. You should be able to copy all of your files over.

  • TC and WD500 External drive - Locks up when copying large files

    I have a TC with a Western Digital 500GB my Book connected to the USB port on the TC that I use for network Storage. Everything works fine until I try to copy large files or directories from the Finder mounted share. After the copy freezes the external drive can no longer be seen by airport utility. If I look at disks it sees the disk but no partition. I have to power cycle the external drive to have TC see the drive again. Then I disconnect the drive and plug it in directly to the MAC and run disk utility and his repairs the journal. I have to do the repair every time it locks up. Should the external drive be formatted different or does it have to be connected to a USB hub. Or is this just a bug with the TC and afp ?

    I have this very same problem.
    I tried to copy a 4GB+ folder from the Macbook to the 500GB MyBook attached to my TC and it froze.
    Now the the files on the MyBook are invisible when attached to the TC ("0 Items") but are available when the drive is connected directly to the Macbook. I have run disk utility but it hasn't helped. The disk is FAT 32 formatted and the files on the MyBook are still invisible over the network.
    When the drive attached to the Macbook directly I can see a 'phantom' file with the same title as the 4GB+ folder I'd tried to copy. This file is "ZERO KB" and it cannot be deleted (error code -43).
    Anyone have a clue what is happening here?

  • Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

    Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
    The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
    Instructive documentation - not very good.
    Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
    Could use timer tracking of the record process.
    Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

    That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
