Moving files from the command line
I've deleted my xorg.conf file like an arse trying to edit it for the NVidia Driver install, but I did make a backup and left it on my desktop for some reason.
What is the command to move the file from my desktop into the etc/X11 directory? I know I need to use the mv command, but I'm doing the syntax all wrong. Whats the command, and which directory should I be in when I type it? Thanks in advance. Adam. |
adam-red,
from any directory: mv /home/username/Desktop/xorg.BAK /etc/X11/ (where username is your username, and xorg.BAK is whatever you named the backup) -Wiski |
I think it is better if you use copy (CP) instead of Move (MV) as you'll still have a copy left if sometign goes wrong again..
Syntax : #cp /home/<username>/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/. |
UltimaGuy is correct --> I guess I was just trying to answer the question asked w/out thinking of the repercussions of the action... =P

Thanks for the help. I managed to get the file into the X11 directory. Now when I type startx it tries to run it, and then gives an error saying cannot run in framebuffer mode.
How can I fix this so it'll start x and load up KDE as it should? Thanks Adam |
It's alright. Fixed it now. Well....I say fixed it...I didn't actually do anything :rolleyes: . Works anyway.
Cheers Adam |
