I tried everything under the internet-sun that purports to allow my 128 mb usb pen to work like a writable floppy. The last I tried is:
mount -o umask=0 /dev/sdc1 /home/myhome/usbpen. It works, but only a switch to root can write and root usurp my directory. just format back to dos/fat16, will work. But a repartition of my pen don't get changed after a reboot. How am I supposed to go back to 'good-old-microsoft' format.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used a Kingston 8Gb flash drive as a live usb recently (copied the live iso image over using dd). I am done with the installations and all but seem to have a problem. i cannot format my flash drive. It now shows as a live CD (800 or so mb). Is there a way to fix the partition table back? I guess if i copy a partition table image from some other 8 gb drive that might fix the problem but i dont have any other flash drives. Is there a solution possible or am i stuck with a live usb forever
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy would a linux web server need chmlib(s)? I am reading about installing drupal on slackware and I came across: [URL] Can anyone elaborate on this explainatioin: "chmlib is a library file needed to view Microsoft ITSS or CHM format files. You need to install chmlib first before installing xchm to view chm files in kde. Here is a guide on how to build chmlib for Slackware Linux and install the result package." Is this to make webpages more universal? Or are these libraries just to view some type of MS files in Kde? What type of files are these libraries for? I don't use kde.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSeems that i have totally ****ed up my sony vaio (vgn-fz21z). I've been doing some partitioning and formatting without really knowing what i was doing. Now it is a mess.The vaio comes with pre-installed windows vista, which is no longer installed. I want it to be.Ubuntu 10.4 is installed. In grub I can choose vista but that is only vaio recovery tool. Which is not working. When I try the format cption and take it all back to the original settings, it says that c: is too small or missing.
I also have some cd:s with windows 7 and xp on, but they can't be read. Now the vaio is not even accepting my ubuntu live-cd. I have nothing of importance on the computer, so there would be no problem re-formatting the whole thing. Can it be done? I would prefer is the vaio recovery tool could be left untouched, it has its own partition. I guess I'm asking: is there a way from inside ubuntu to make a total system re-installation, get rid of different partitions and reconstruct c:, so win can be installed again?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo here's what I'm after:
Create Ubuntu inside Virtualbox (done) Join it to the domain using net ads join -S example.com -u admin (done) Update the DNS using net ads dns register (done) Be able to visit the netbios name as defined in smb.conf (lets call it Bob). [Not done]
The problem I am having is that it looks like, even though the machine is now on the AD, and I can browse users in the AD, etc... My network configuration (IP/route tables, etc) are not correct.
For example, my AD server is in the 172 IP range, while BOB is sitting at 10.0.2.15.
The DNS server stores Bob's value as 10.0.2.15, so when I ping it from my workstation at 172, I end up getting no response (obviously it's on a different net).
Bob's route table is configured to deal with 10... range of IP, rather than 172.
I have attempted doing commands such as ifconfig eht0 172.16.1.118 netmask 255.255.255.0 and even editing the route tables, but that then makes outbound network traffic imposable.
I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my machine. I use Ubuntu much more often than Windows 7. On Ubuntu I can use LibreOffice Calc, but I'm more used to Microsoft Excel and would like to be able to run it under Ubuntu.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have access to a lot of throw away pc's as I pay a trash collector to drop them off once a month. Any xp on a pc that originally had win98, I intend to install puppy linux on and then offer them back to the public for a modest price of about 20 dollars each. I have much to learn, and the first task is to try to get seamonkey to read windows live mail. Thus far today there is a parsing error and I am about to get into that. Would it be better to try to install the very latest wary puppy linux, or to try to upgrade the seamonkey onto the 3.o puppy. Also I am using a version of puppy that was labled puppy-celeron, believing that the celeron processor in this old gateway essential 500 might match up with the driver selections on that particular disk.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm still a bit green at Linux - not enough that the terminal scares me, but I still need to figure out with my 'networking' which programs do what. I'm still newly switched from Windows (though I've had a love affair with Linux live OSes for everytime I'm in between Windows OSes) and finally made the switch to Ubuntu. I have Wine installed for windows programs, and recently got a bit frustrated with OO Base, and went to install Microsoft Access (which I have training with) and while trying to figure out my install, Wine tells me it doesn't have any programs that read the 'autorun.inf' file. A little google fu tells me I kinda need an .inf reader for autorunning cds, dvds and the like. Anyone know where I can get the file? I tried to go through the Windows site and get the drivers downloaded for it, but I've hit a dead end.

I'm trying to connect to a Win XP computer via Remote Desktop/Terminal Server. (Note: WinXP refers to Remote Desktop, or RDP; Ubuntu uses Terminal Server client for this function.)

Is there a MS RDP version 6 compatible program/client for Linux?
