I've got a 1TB external usb hard drive, that I'd like to run some scripts from, but I think I remember reading somewhere that its not a good idea, and that that practice was actually disabled at some point in the past, I was just wondering why?
View 3 Replieswhen you attache a pen drive with windows you can drag from the pen drive to the desk top, and visa versa. with Linux logged in as normal user I can drag files from pen drive to Desktop but not the other way around. my pen drive is TITANIUM and at /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/TITANIUM so I have to use
cp /home/user/Desktop/file /media/TITANIUM as root
If I log in as root I can drag files from pen drive to desktop and also from Desktop to pen drive. is there an easy way to give permissions for normal user. I had a look a groups and it has scanner, printer etc listed ,can I amend groups somehow to enable same permissions for pen drive access as root?
I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

/dev/hda = IDE/ATA
dev/sda - /dev/sdf = SATA

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a second hard drive in my desktop and both the main dirve and second drive are 250GB. I use the second drive for backups, both manual and using back in time. The other day I noticed that the second drive was formated in FAT32. If I go to disk utility and look at the drive it says:Usage:FilesystemPartition Type:Linux (0x83)Type:FAT(32-bit version)Is this ok? I thought in Linux it should be Ext4. So far its been working fine for a while now but if I need to move my files and re format it to ext4 and move them back I would rather do it now when there is less data on the drive.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a USB drive on which I want to install Arch Linux (using the installer, not unetbootin or something similar, as I want the drive to be persistent.) The computer from which I want to boot this USB supports booting from a USB floppy, not a normal drive. Is there any way for me to make a USB floppy on another drive and use that to boot the normal USB drive?
View 2 Replies View Relatedno entries exist in the /dev folder for hdc,cdrom,dvd, or any other drive or drive type than hda. The only other similar device is sg0 which doesn't work either. I have tried every variation of mount I can find with every available drive and drive type and nothing works, but this is the drive I installed FC14 with, and it installed perfectly (except for forgetting where it came from!!)Do I have to install a module or recompile the kernel just to get linux to recognize the drive it came from?

I'm getting a USB error -71 and I found that disabling ehci_hcd allows my USB port to be usable. When the server boots up, ehci is automatically loaded and once that happens, the USB is rendered useless. Is there a command in Grub to downgrade the USB version?
Another option would be to make an .img to load up without USB 2.0 and using USB 1.0 but I don't know how to make one.
As I'm trying to set ACL via "chacl" command, its giving error saying "Operation not supported". So, the syntax part is correct but its not supported.
So, how to enable ACL support on Linux 4.

You can also use SHIFT + pgup/pgdown to scroll one screen up or down.In urxvt I can use the pgup/pgdown combination as well, but can't use the up/down arrow combination. It is very useful to be able to scroll by single lines. Do you have any idea how to enable the up/down arrow scrolling?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got a Logitech G11-keyboard for my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit box. My question is xmodmap related and not restricted to this particular keyboard, nor to the distro I am using. The keyboard has a.o. 18 G-keys. These have been successfully defined in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB as per [URL] and I have a ~/.Xmodmap file that matches keycodes to the names in XKeysymDB.
My .Xmodmap definitions are rather simple, e.g. 'keycode 175 = G1'. So I do not define any value for modifier combinations, nor do I know how to do this.
And here's my real question. How should I define these keys so that the Crl-, Alt-, Meta-, Super- etc modifiers work with these keys?
With the current setup, the modifier versions of these keys do only work for the second keypress, e.g. the first Ctrl-G17 is perceived as a G17 keypress, and the second and remaining Ctrl-G17 presses are correctly received as a Ctrl-G17.
I would be happy to read an explanation of this behaviour, and even more so, about how to properly define them so that the base key as well as the modifier versions would be available.
If the odds are a million to one against something occurring, chances are 50-50 it will.
[URL] and go2 places!
