Unable to access linux(ubuntu 10.10) share drive on my windows PCIn my office we have few linux (obuntu 10.10) computers and 3 computers running on windows. We have data stored on one of the shared drives of a linux(ubuntu 10.10) system which has samba installed and we are able to access that folder from other linux systems and 1 windows xp system where it asks for user name and password and is able to access the data while in other 2 windows systems (with 1 having xp and 1 having windows 7) we are unable to access the folder because it does not ask for user name and password and it shows an error network drive not accessible as you may not have the permission.

My windows shows up a OS in computer, if I try to open or mount I get "nvalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'OS'." I've tried to install some NTSF programes from apt-get but none help.Can I install something that will allow me to access data on the windows drive? As I'd like to access some files.

I have both computers connected through the same internet router, and i am succesfully accessing windows share files and remote control. The problem is, i dont want to move the files i want from their current location, to a share folder, and then onto my laptop. The main problem is that my whole family uses the pc, and while they are logged on i cannot remote control.

I have installed apache php5 mysql binarys. I have 3 ips on the machine 10.0.1.30, 10.0.1.37, 10.0.1.38. .30 is the main ip 10/100 the rest are 10,100,1000 ports. I can only access Apache 2.2 over .37 or .38 but not .30
I have not used Ubuntu alot but I am starting to and this really pisses me off since all my computer have aliases to the machine through .30
I have recently ghosted, using g4u, an 80 gig drive to a 30 gig drive. The data size is about 15 gig so no problem there.The system does work and it doing everything it should, except for some errors in dmsg log.The thing is though, that the system works! all the services are running and live.And i have years worth of customizations in this machine. Has been running for several years, so i dont just want to reformat and reinstall. Its hard to get linux the way you want it sometimes!So my question is this, is there a way to fix my partition or somehow tell the machine what the current boundries <i>should</i> be?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm pensioning off my 10-years-old home server and replacing it with an Ubuntu 10.04 box. The two storage devices are a Western Digital Caviar Green 2.0TB HD and an Intel X25-M 34nm Gen 2 80GB SATA II 2.5inch SSD (the box has 8GB RAM and an i5 750, if it matters).
I don't care much about boot times (since I don't plan to reboot all that often;-); the main frequent, performance-demanding task will be (re)building large open source C or C++ software packages from sources (as an open source contributor, I do that often).
So, I thought I'd keep the SSD as the secondary drive and the HD as the primary one, using the SSD mostly for the files that can otherwise demand a lot of seeking (esp. in a parallel make).
However, the friendly vendor (perhaps more experienced in Windows systems than in Linux ones) thinks the "normal" way to configure the machine would be with the SSD as the primary drive. I'm pretty rusty on configuring and tuning systems, so, I thought I'd better double check on SuperUser.
I have installed RAID 1 with mdadm and it seems to work looking att /proc/mdstat..I wanted to test the system, so I removed the power cable for one of the disks. When I startup I get this message:
Primary hard drive 0 not found...And cannot start. I'm not sure if there is something in BIOS or in the RAID config? Any ideas?
For starters, I apologize if this turns out to be a double post. My windows laptop hiccupped in the middle...
So I had a Linux box with two drives running happily for years. Both drives were in the same logical volume, and the second had a file system on it.
The the boot drive croaked. I replaced it and reinstalled CENTOS (making sure, of course, to be careful to use the new drive). The I put the second drive back into the volume group (and that's it).
I'm assuming I probably need to create a new logical volume, because that's how it was before, but I really really don't want to format it.
Am I missing a step or am I screwed?
Fsck -l showed the following output both before and after I put the drive in the volume group. code...
know the best way to shrink the Windows 7 64 bit primary partition (C: drive)? The C: drive was originally just over 900 GB free space. I shrunk it using Windows 7 Disk Management, but it would only let me shrink to 468 GB, which I did. I want to shrink it to 100 GB. Will G-Parted work for this? Will I be able to boot into Windows after I use G-Parted? Or will I have to use the Repair Disc to fix Windows? If so, will the Repair Disc work. I have a new PC. I had Ubuntu 10.10 dual booted with Windows XP on my old PC.

Due to some compatibility issues (wife), I need to install Windows xp instead of lucid as the primary os on this computer. I do plan to put ubuntu back on it as dual boot, beings that I don't particularly care for windows for what I use this computer for.I'm usually fairly competent when it comes to installing operating systems and whatnot, but for some reason this computer will not boot from my xp boot cd, irregardless of whether or not I select boot from cd.. It just boots straight to ubuntu.

When I switch on, a screen appears telling "Enter any key to Enter Boot Menu"(as I can remember)for about 3 seconds and then starts Fedora12 automatically.I want to change it and make Windows 7 as my primary OS or I want to see directly the bootloader first(not the 3 seconds message).
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:

I formatted a 16GB USB flash drive via right click. Then I ran gparted and got as far as this [image attached]
Do I choose Primary Partition or Extended Partition for this second partition?
i have looked under applications as well as system for the add/remove but it is not there, how else can i find it or access it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy computer set up is this; Pentium 4 Dell Dimension desktop with 2 hard drives. /hda = Linux and /hdb = Windows 7. It is set up to boot to /hda (master) and the Grub menu selection includes an entry to boot /hdb (slave) (Windows). Both disks are ATA. I just bought a 250 GB SATA drive and I cloned my Linux partitions onto this new disk. So far, it seems to be working and all my files are here.
The first problem is when I boot up I get a "Primary disk not found" message and the option to hit F1 to continue or F2 to go to setup. I hit F1 and it continues booting up without any further issues. The bigger problem is when I re-attach the Windows ATA drive; Depending on whether it is Master or not I run into one of two situations(when Master)The machine takes a loooooooong time to boot up, still comes to where I have to hit F1, yet I can boot into Windows or Linux. (when not Master)It comes up fairly quickly, I hit F1 but Windows cannot be found.
When Windows doesn't work and I still boot up, I can't find the other hard drive anywhere. #sudo fdisk -l only comes up with the SATA drive, not the Windows one. So there are 3 things I want that I am not sure how to get;Automatically boot to Grub without having to hit F1 Faster bootup through the bios Being able to boot to Windows or Linux without any problems. Am I missing something? Is this because of a mixed ATA and SATA? Is there something I need to fix in the BIOS? I'm not sure where to look!
Whenever I try to do anything that requires administrative permissions, including Synaptic, the Update Manager, or installing something on the Software Center, the "Starting Administrative Application" task comes up on the window list, but then the window does not come up and whatever action was supposed to be taken does not happen; no error messages, nothing. Also, whenever I use su or sudo in the command prompt, nothing shows up when I type my password; then when I hit Enter, it gives me an authentication error.
EDIT: It seems that the "Add/Remove Applications" program as well as the Software center do not have this problem. Synaptic and the Updates Manager, however, still do not work.
I'm wondering if it's possible to control what applications are available to certain users on a per user basis.
My motivation:
I have separate logins for audio production and general admin. Under Applications > Sound & Video I have tonnes of audio apps, but as I never use these under my general admin account, there's little reason to list all of them.
how is the applications menu configured? I'm wondering because I'd like to create some custom sections.
I have two external hard drives. One is a 2.5" 80GB USB HDD and the other is a Seagate 3.5" USB 500GB HDD. Both hard drives are mounted properly and I can access the data on both hard drives. I can access the small 80GB HDD via ssh from another computer and delete files, but when I try to access the 500GB drive via ssh it says access denied. When I try to access it with root, I can access it but I cannot see any files listed.

I'm using Kubuntu 10.04 at the moment. Every time I log in, KDE Wallet asks me to give a password so that Kopete can access my login password to login. Is there any way you can 'grant permission' to access the wallet for certain applications so that I don't have to fill in my password every time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using ssh on windows XP to remotely connect to a UNIX server that provides web application development services. The server is called snapper and is also designed to run computer-intensive engineering and GIS applications. I have been able to successful access the server. However, when I try to run an application I get an error message saying:Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
The ANSYS Launcher could not be started The most likely reason is that your DISPLAY environment variable I either not set (i.e. issue setenv DISPLAY dev:0.0 where dev is your device name) or is set to a device that is not accepting the connection. I was hoping someone could explain to me what the DISPLAY environment variable is and how to set it.

I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to install a window manager without root access? I'm trying to install Fluxbox. I unpacked the .tar.gz and ran ./configure followed by make. I'm unsure of the next step- usually I would just do 'make install' but as I don't have root access I cannot do this. I found this file which I think may have something to do with the process that should come next, it seems to have some lines about window managers (~/.xsession):

I have installed a core debian install on the NAND on a little ARM dockstar, which is fine as a slow little media storage server but really i need to put squeezebox server on it and my media collection. Theres no issue slapping in a 2.5 usb HD in to the dock with my media on ... the issue i have is i do not have room in nand for the server application/associated dependancies (plus a lot of read/write issues if i put them in nand) so i am wondering if its possible to ammend the configuration somehow to have apt automatically install the server software (a pig to do manually with all the dependancies) to the USB HD (rather than the default nand paths) without affecting the operation/dependancies in the core install in NAND
