General :: Disable USB Pendrive Access Only In Fedora14?
Jul 23, 2011
how to disable Pendrive access in my Fedora 14KDE. while allowing usb mouse and keyboard.(se linux and firewall to be off) or how to set usb mounting permission only to root?
I recently bought a 16GB Super Talent pen drive that seems to work well for running the Ubuntu Live "CD" in persistent mode (see this for how I installed it). One slightly annoying thing, however, is that this pen drive has a bright red light on it that stays on when it's idle.
Is there a way to make the light stay off at least when the pen drive is not performing IO? I'm not even sure it's possible to do. If there is (in Linux), I'm guessing it boils down to some ioctl invoked by some utility. Otherwise, I imagine it would involve hacking the firmware or simply opening up the pen drive and removing the LED.Then again, I guess it keeps the LED on to indicate that the drive should not be removed.
I am running the latest version of linux mint from my 16GB flash drive. Is there any way for me to access the other files I have saved on the flash drive? I have tried to searching through folders myself but haven't had any luck.
I have to use squid proxy server on fedora14 to develop the application/ software based on the Proxy sever analysing and count number of user and downloaded file size... .My main problems are, I'm not able to configure the access.log file in "Common Logfile Format" and how to develop the application
I've got a problem with my usb pen drives. If I put some data inside, from the 2nd time I insert the pendrive in the computer I can't write on the usb pen, I can't change my files, and also they are hidden. I've formatted them with the format/partitioner tool in yast, but I can't solve my problem. This happens with all my usb pendrives and also with the sd of my camera. Is there something that I can do to solve this inconvenient?
i have a cd that shows you an empty directory unless you mount it for the joliet extensions - specifically 25 2f 40. It uses wide characters with the high half null.
I'm trying to install Xampp on my virtual Fedora 14 desktop. When I open the terminal, sign in as administrator, and yum install Xampp I repeatedly get the message, "Child returned status 2, setting up Install Process, no package Xampp available" I get the same message after I download from a different mirror.
I got a CD with a book - doc files.When I look at it with nautilus or with wine notepad it tells me that the CD is empty. capacity 49.4 MB. It does show the name of the CD BOOK2XTRAS - so at least the name field in the first sector is where it is supposed to be.When I boot to my 2nd drive - an old win98 sys - it sees all the files on the CD. Same CD drive in each case. I go to another fedora computer I have and it does n.ot see the contents either.

I am running 3 guest machines in KVM and also I have bridged the host machine so that I would be able to get the network access on the guest machines and I am getting it also, but the problem is that I am not able to ssh one guest machine from another guest machine moreover I am able to ssh the host machine from any of the guest machine.
I have recently installed Fedora 14 on my system, which was earlier a single OS system i.e it was only having WinXP. After installing Fedora 14, i am not able to see WinXP option in my boot menu.Do i need to make an entry for WinXP in grub.conf file?
I am a using Windows xp. I had Started my Redhat6 tuition from some days,, My question is " How can I install redhat linux 6 from my pendrive? Please describe me all the steps cause I haven't try to install a O.S. from pendrive?
I can login into my linux only as normal user "abc". my slax is giving HAL error in automounting pendrive.
To mount a pendrive i have to login as root in a terminal with SU command and then i can access the pendrive through command line. i normally copies my files into "abc" home directory and browses it from there in konquorer file browser......this is tedious job...everytime.
My idea is to have an icon on "abc" desktop ...which onclick will execute a shell script and manually mount my pendrive in READ WRITE mode at background and display the pendrive folder contents.... using KDE Scripting.
i have a similar problem , i installed ubuntu 10.04 onto a pendrive, it all works fine , but the catch is i have to keep my pen drive inserted to get the grub menu. is there a work around to get grub to work off my hdd( my guess is it is in my pen drive along with the ubuntu files)
I am using CentOS 5.4 in VMware, having Win XP as host OS. i am unable to mount a pendrive. I have used "#dmesg" command to display the hardwares connected, but its not showing anything about Pendrive. Also tried #mount -t -vfat /dev/sda2 /pendrive........but the error is "...its not a block"
I take an image from installed fedora14 with systemimager. Then I installed a copy of it on another system. After successful installation, Machine was rebooted and then I couldn't log in to system. I tried log into system with in it 1 and that was done, then I created another user, but after running init 3 in commandline, it didn't log into the system again.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
I put Jolicloud on a pendrive to install it to my laptop, tried it out, didn't like it, and installed ubuntu with a CD instead. Now I want to use my pendrive for storage, so I popped it in, loaded up Gparted and formatted the drive.
Now, when I pop the pendrive into my laptop, Ubuntu thinks that Jolicloud is still on it, when Gparted says there are no partitions on the pendrive.
I was building LFS on a pendrive this morning when it crashed in the middle of making gcc. I rebooted without my pendrive and I never got into the desktop. Instead, I get a visually pleasing terminal telling me that it couldn't find and that the only way to reboot would be to press CTRL+D. I'm then given a command line and that's that.
Rebooting with the key inside works perfectly.
I reformatted my key and now there's nothing on it. I feel like somewhere somehow I added an entry to the boot process of my system and now I have to remove it. Never dealt with something like this before
I have a 8 GB flash drive and a 4.3 GB DVD iso (openSUSE-11.3) Is it possible to use the flash drive to install the linux? Pendrive linux universal USB installer formats it to Fat32 which limits the filesystem to 4 GB.
