Moving from Windows to Linux

[columbiabbs]

Hi Guys I want to move my system from a window to linux. All is working on the Linux system ok but now I have a problem moving my DB folder to the Linux machine. Subsonic is locked on the Linux machine, how
do I unlock it and move the folder to the Linux system.
Thanks for your input.

Locked as in access denied or as in file in use?

Locked as in cant get into the directory.

I want to copy my db folder from windows to the new linux verison.

Are you familiar with superuser/administration commands? I'm a Linux amateur, what is your skill level? Are you comfortable with the command line? What distro of Linux are you using. I really only know Ubuntu.

Hi and thanks for your help!!.

running 12.04 LTS here. if you asking about the commands under SU than yes I have used them before.
I just could not fine a way to open the directory and replace the DB directory within the Subsonic dir.

'sudo nautilus' will bring up a gui file explorer with su rights. I am assuming that there is no issue mounting your windows hdd. You should be able to navigate to where the db is and move it to where you want.

You could also look into chmod commands and set the file permissions.

Thanks Enix!!.
that did the trick real well, I have been trying to use gedit with no luck..

'sudo gedit filename' will open the file in gedit with superuser permissions. I mainly use the command line, the mv command (move) with sudo would have worked too, if a gui is unavailable.

Glad I could help.
