I have installed Unbuntu on recommendation from two users to get the USGS ISIS program to run on it when OTHER versions of Linux seems to have issuyes..not necessariliy LANY edition of Linux either ... imho after two full months of trying to get USGS and ASU to help give me honest geo-referenced and map-aligned data of all 10 bands each IR image has from Odyssey.. NasaView opens and gives individual bands..but...geo-referencing and map-alignment only ISIS can do.

I finally got it to work when two Ubuntu users got the main lib of ubuntu think certain old libraries are there when not. I think...worked anyhoo the ISIS commands worked...but now...the OUTPUT of the commands are INACCESSABILE !!!

The above topic is where you'll read about the two month attempt and also see the Ubuntu rescue.

But now the PLACE folders open for a VERY VERY short time about 2-3 seconds, if that, then shuts down again.

From the Home terminal I got this list

main2@main2:~$ dir

As you may guess correctly everything between Music and Pictures in the listing is THE stuff produced by the output of the ISIS program made FOR Linux systems. Which One? Well Suse 10 and above not supported anymore and there are others. So I don't know what to do.

I thought del meant delete in ANY language...guess not.

What's up and how can I delete these files from the Home folder at least so it STAYS OPEN?

Thank You in advance for any replies...especially helpful ones.

Bob

I don't exactly understand your problem, but to delete files, you can use "rm".

For example, if you want to remove "outputBand10.j2w", type:

If you don't have permission to do that for some reason, try using sudo to give you root access for the command:

in addition to what lamouche said, if uneed to del a whloe dir, use this:

rm -rfv directory_name

r = recursive
f = whatever it means
v = verbose output

The f stands for "force". If you use it, then rm will not ask you "Are you sure you want to delete this file?" for each file being deleted.

Thank You folks

Now to go back to USGS ISIS and ask them WHY my data is unviewable.

I may be back... but thanx for prompt CORRECT solution to problem.
