Something went wrong with my computer. I want to copy my data folders to a usb drive and reinstall. So I'm using a livecd. However I can't access the folder. Under home/username the username folder shows a no-entry sign. When I use gksu nautilus I get loose the no-entry sign but just find a text file. How do I get access to the files that are there, I think they are encrypted.

I have managed to work out how to use remastersys to create a Custom.iso LiveCD.
Can anyone advise how I can transfer a folder of documents, so they are included in the custom.iso?
I tried to put a new folder/docs inside the 'examples' folder, which shows up on the Desktop of LiveCD users, but this 'examples' folder is write-protected.
I'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

- I have ubuntu installed, and win7 is installed using vbox.
- I know how to set shared folder, so win7 can access the folder in ubuntu.
- I need to have an access to certain folder in win7 from ubuntu.
How can I do that?It is not about samba, right?
I want to give a mounted folder /mnt/folder access so that 'root and the group test have read write access' and all other users have read access I understand most of the chmod command, the users groups world etc but where in the 'command' do you specify which 'group' or 'user' you are giving the read / write access to? in all the tutorials i've seen no where do you specify the actual group or user.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS in a dual boot environment with XP. Except that I have two hard drives: One with Ubuntu and XP and one with just XP. The MBR on the XP-only drive has an entry named "Linux" which points to the grub loader for the split drive. I tried to reinstall windows on its partition on the split drive, but the install process hung and I've never figured out how to make it finish. I didn't use that partition for this entire episode. Yesterday I booted into Ubuntu and tried to log in, but immediately after entering username and password I was presented with an error message (full screen, blue background, red "ok" button). I don't remember exactly what the wordage was but it had something to do with a hard drive error.
I thought I was experiencing hard drive failure, but I hit the reset button and successfully booted into the windows-only installation. I didn't think the problem was anything more than a random error. Today I tried to boot into Ubuntu, but immediately after the splash screen I was greeted with BusyBox v1..1..3 with an (initramfs) prompt. I restarted and tried Ubuntu again and immediately I encountered the grub> prompt (no grub bootloader, no splash screen). Confused about why the prompts had changed I decided to boot into Windows, but at the welcome screen an error dialog from lsass.exe informed me of an unrecoverable error in the registry: the semi-famous "registry could not read in, write out, or flush." Next I tried the live CD.
Using the live CD I could access the contents of both of my windows partitions, but not my Ubuntu partition. Navigating to "FileSystem" using the LiveCD only yields the directories created for the LiveCD session. I tried again to boot into windows and it worked, so I'm hoping the message from lsass.exe was just a random hiccup. Right now I'm pretty much only concerned with getting the Ubuntu partition backed up, and then performing a fresh install. Content from the windows installations is fully backed up. The fact that using a LiveCD gives me access to the windows partition on the split drive makes me certain that the drive has not physically died.
Using "fdisk -l" produces no output, and "dmesg" gives some errors at the end of the output:

View 2 Replies View RelatedLaunchy is a great piece of software, I use it on Windows mainly for quickly accessing folders. I love its auto-indexing in the background, and hardly ever browse through folders manually these days, solves me lots of time.
On Linux (Ubuntu 9.10), I usually "live" in the terminal, however. Therefore, Launchy on Linux (or Gnome Do, or its other replacements) are not what I need - as it opens the file manager, and I don't need the file manager.
What I do need is something that indexes my folders and lets me cd into them quickly in the terminal. For example:

I know the user and password so how can I access it?

I've installed Fedora 12 on my laptop and when I share any folder and try to access it over the network using smb://<ip-address/<folder> it says "file or folder smb://..... does not exist"
Now if I simply try to access - smb://<ip-address> on the file browser it shows me shared folders but when I double click I get the same error.
I've SELinux disable, Firewall disable but I'm still not able to access these folders.
I did the exactly same samba configuration on openSUSE and I'm able to access the folder but not with Fedora 12.
