I have a MP3 player which is owned by Root. I have tried the following: in terminal - chown as both my usual log-in and root operation not permitted. I ran chown as both su, root, and myself. In Nautilus - I can't change any of the file attributes again opening it as any of the users above. I used to be able to copy files over to the MP3 player but not the Sandisk but not I can't copy or do anything to the files on both.

I need to allow my Windows users to be able to check off "Read-Only" or "Hidden" attributes on our Samba share. Currently its not allowing me to do so.
After searching online, I set the map readonly, hidden and archive option to "yes". Then my entire files were hidden.
I'm having a hard time understanding the concept of the "map" option in smb.conf
GS 8.71 on f11. Using the eps2eps tool, some of a files colors get changed to RGB from CMYK. I see no flagging capable of changing this behavior. Is there another way or something I'm missing? Or is there a better place to ask about Ghostscript?

I have two touch screen monitors tha tI'm configuring for a dual-head display.That is working.For the touch screens it's a bit more complicated, each touch screen requires that I apply a specific config file for each individual TS (touch screen). Each config file is unique to it display. for that I'm using xinput to apply those configuration.My problem here is that the TSs are the same model and show up under udev and xinput under the same the same name minus the different hardware IDs whish is the only way that I can currently distiguish them.So far I've experimented with tweaking the udev rules for a particular TS with no luck (more than likely because I might be doing it wrong).I ned to be able to tell the two appart when I apply the configurations in xinput so I can write a script that will do this automatically for me.

Does linux kernel 2.6 support suid & guid?. I just read somewhere that "latest linux kernels does not support suid & guid as it can pose a security risk if the setuid attribute is assigned to executable programs that are not carefully designed".

I'd like to remove all directories of a certain depth that don't contain .txt or .log files -- is this possible? So far I have: find ~ -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 4 -type d -exec rm -r '{}' ; Is it possible to add in "only if the directory doesn't contain .txt and/or .log files"? Or do I have to start learning perl to do that?
For example:
dir 1:
hello.txt
runme.sh
dir 2:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI guess in most cases when extracting a tar achive ,we will get a directory with the same name as the archive file but different suffix. but in some unlucky case, as I met today, after extract a tar bar I find lots of files spread in the working directory, which is really nuisance.so what I want to learn from you is that how can I move thoes newly created files ? I know it should be some "find plus rm" fancy approch there, but I don't know exactly how.

I am considering removing all programs and software that handle images so that you cannot view images on the computer and .jpeg would be an unrecognizable file. It's impossible to remove the program that views images in Windows since Explorer is that program - a central Windows component, but I wonder if it is possible to use an alternative operating system like linux and remove the programs that handle images without affecting the system.
I need to do this because of the following problem. I had an internet filter installed but it became useless once certain proxy/circumventor sites such as www.ibypass.com were discovered, which allowed access to any website on the internet. Blocking proxy sites does not work because you can type "https" at the beginning of some of these web addresses and the internet filter cannot keep track of the secure browsing
