Hello guys I'm trying to create an bootable iso from my installed linux distro with systemback but I have too much stuff on / directory, there is any way of pick only the folders like /root /usr /bin
that is necessary for the installation of the system?
There is any software that make a "Clean" version of my current distro, and create an .iso or something like that?
I'm curious about that because you know, it's trash have to install the whole system from the beginning if you have an "cute life distro" already created.
and the limitations of .iso (4.7GB) is annoying.
My current / directory have 91.8GB on it
lol
Help-me please! And thanks ;)
I hope that is possible make this happen...

I'm new to Linux and just downloaded WSL2 and ubuntu on my Windows PC.
I started the Windows terminal, chose Ubuntu from there, and wanted to move to the Desktop by using cd.
However, I could not find the Desktop folder.
First, I did "ls /" and many folders labeled as the following appeared.
"bin", "dev", "home", "lib".....
Where is the Desktop folder? I moved to the "home" folder but there was nothing...
WSL mounts the windows filesystem under /mnt/c, try /mnt/c/Users/<username>/desktop.

I know that truecrypt isn't capable of creating a hidden OS but in another post someone describes the steps to do it manually and that he does it to all of his linux computers all of the time. Can anyone elaborate on his steps so that someone (like myself) who is not as experienced could accomplish this?
I would just ask this individual to provide more details but it appears as though their account is "anonymous" or something.
I developed something like you are describing.
Here https://github.com/antonio-petricca/buddy-linux you can find all the information and installation script.
Buddy linux allows you to install linux on (hidden) loop files (like for the link you provided), but providing GRUB loader by an external USB drive. So, removing, it will results in a Windows boot.
The other good stuff is that it is based on LVM, so you can extended file system "simply" by adding loop files as per your needs.
Regards.

I have Fedora 11 installed on VirtualBox. By accident some files in /var directory were damaged or removed(I don't know what exactly). Now when trying to run Fedora, it goes untill choosing the user and freezes. No reaction at mouse and keyboard clicks. Does anyone have any suppositions how to run it, or at least how to retrieve files from virtual machine? I booted it to the terminal where I updated all what is possible - gnome, etc...But still no result.
It's impossible to know what happened without knowing what got removed. However, a great way to get your files out is using scp. Good examples for this can be found here.
Alternatively, if you've installed the Virtualbox Guest Additions you can use a USB drive to retrieve your files. There's a pretty good tutorial on how to get your USB drive working on VBox here.
If you want my best guess as to what's wrong, something in your /var relating to your GUI got removed, as from what I understand you can still boot to your command line. My suggestion would be to get what you need off the machine using the above tools and get a fresh install.

We're migrating an application from a very old Solaris box over to a relatively newer Linux machine. I'm having trouble finding an equivalent for a command line option that was used on our old server when running tar on the newer one. I'm assuming that it is obsolete now, as I don't see anything via man or searching online to indicate why it was done away with... but if anyone has any information, it would be very much appreciated.
The version of tar on the old server was 1.12, and the version on the new server is 1.23.
The command we ran was:
tar cEf path-to-tar path-to-tar-up
Does anyone know whether this switch is even necessary anymore? Unfortunately the code using this switch predates my work on the project, so I am unaware of why this particular switch is being used currently.

A bit of a silly question , please forgive my lack though, new UNIX user .
I have an setup_test.exe file if there a way that i can make it "run-install" or compile it in UNIX based machine, or I need the source code to start with?
thanks in advance
If this executable came from the Windows environment, it won't run under UNIX/Linux without lots of help.
Two options:
If you have the source code and the application doesn't rely on a lot of Windows specific libraries, you could try compiling it in your current environment.
The WINE emulator can often run Windows executables, depending again on what libraries from Windows are used.
If it isn't a Windows exe and is native to your current environment, then ./exename.exe should work provided you have the permissions to execute it.
