View 1 RepliesI am having a windows 7 64 bit OS in my laptop....,and recently i have installed ubuntu 10.04 in one of the primary partitions.......,and totally there are 3 drives in my laptop now(excluding the one in which ubuntu is installed)
I am interested in accessing the local drives(i.e.,any of the local drives except the "C" drive)in the terminal of the ubuntu.
Running Ubuntu 9.10. In the Remote Desktop config dialog I get: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 127.0.0.1 or tabatha.local." I understand this means only the loopback ip address is available. All my other machines show their true local ip address (e.g., 192.168.1.104) in this dialog. Thus I cannot log on to this desktop from other machines.
When I try to do a remote logon from another Ubuntu 9.10 box (or from an XP box using a VNC viewer), I get: "Connection to 192.168.1.102 has been closed." What steps are needed to make this machine show its actual ip address? All file sharing between the various machines is working properly and all windows shares back and forth between XP and 'nix, and among the the vaious XP boxes and linux boxes are available as designed.
I have Fedora 14 installed on my main internal drive. I have one Fedora 14 and one Fedora 15 installed on two separate USB drives.When I boot into any of these drives, I can't access any of the other hard drives from the other drivesll I can, but just the boot partitions.Is there any way of mounting the other partitions so I can access the information?---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------I guess even an explanation on why I can't view them would be good too.

Is there a way to do this - perhaps through ssh?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating a bootable Linux CD to distribute a sandbox environment to customers that will work on multiple PCs.One requirement of this environment is that we do not want the user to have any access to the underlying hard drives in the computer to prevent any accidental and/or malicious damage. I can prevent the disks from automounting with a few udev custom rules, but is there any way to prevent/block the user from manually mounting the hard drives after boot up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am dual booting OpenSuse 11.2 and Windows 7 both 64bit on my PC. I've got VMware workstation installed on both. I've got few virtual machines which were all created in Windows VMware and they're all stored on a separate partition. I can access this partition and all other NTFS partition from Suse but with read-only permissions. That means I can't run any of these virtual machines from Suse VMware. Is there any possible way to make all these drives writeable from Suse? I'm really hoping someone would be able to help me. I've got a lot of googling and have even searched this forum but without any luck.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a computer that's booting Ubuntu 9.10 from the first of 4 drives. The other 3 drives are formatted as NTFS. Is it possible for my 9.10 to share the NTFS drives to the network so my other network users can access my NTFS drives while I'm booted to 9.10?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a computer, the one I am on now, with Ubuntu 10.10, it should be completely updated... and I can network with other computers, I can access Windows XP and 7 shared locations on other computers, and I can also get Ubuntu on other computers to access this computer's shared files.What I can't do, however, is share my hardrives that are on this computer, I have tried sharing them in /media/ and etc, but it is not working, apparently you have to mount them in some mystical way.
Another problem is getting Windows machines to access Ubuntu computers on the network - which I believe is a Windows problem, so I can figure that out some other time, but importantly, I want to be able to share my hardrives over the network.
If someone can give me some instructions to mounting and sharing hardrives(internal), and even my DVD-Drives, and portable USB devices, would also be fantastic - since, in Windows you can just right click, "share", and it's done.. It is a very useful thing to have, and I don't want to use Windows on this computer anymore, but I have no choice, really, if I can't share my storage to the other computers.
I have installed VMplayer 3.0.0 on a Fedora 12 64 bit system. It seems to have installed ok with no error messages. However when I start the VMplayer it flashes up on the screen and goes again and will not run. has any one had a similar experience and if so what was the fix? I installed the package because i understand it will run Windows 98SE ok. O need it to run two pieces of Windows software. All I need is networking and access to a floppy drive once so I do not need sound and all the other bells and whistles.

Some modules are missing in the generic kernel.As well as a 'VMware module kernel updater' screen saying that the Kernel headers for version 2.6.29.5-smp were not found. They are clearly present..
So, at the moment I have a 7TB LVM with 1 group and one logical volume. In all honesty I don't back up this information. It is filled with data that I can "afford" to lose, but... would rather not. How do LVMs fail? If I lose a 1.5TB drive that is part of the LVM does that mean at most I could lose 1.5TB of data? Or can files span more than one drive? if so, would it just be one file what would span two drives? or could there be many files that span multiple drives drives? Essentially. I'm just curious, in a general, in a high level sense about LVM safety. What are the risks that are involved?
Edit: what happens if I boot up the computer with a drive missing from the lvm? Is there a first primary drive?
One of Konqueror's unique features is that i can name a local process as the action in a form. When i submit that form, the local process is executed. Very helpful for certain offline tasks. What would make it even better is if i could find a way to pass some data to that local process from the html page. This could be the content of a hidden input item, etc. Alternatively, if there is a way for Konqueror to create or update a local file with data from the html page, that would acheive the same end.

What command would you use to read about the sync system call (not the sync command)? How would you read a local man page for sync that was kept in the /usr/local/share/man?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install tilp, a program for the link between a computer and a Texas Instruments calculator. I have downloaded all the packages to a local directory. I tried telling yum to install all the packages at the same time, though, the dependencies still fail to resolve (though they are all in the directory). I don't know if it would be safe to force install without the dependencies (even though I would install them later).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using XP pro for a long time and installed Ubuntu 9 2 days ago. Before installing Ubuntu what I did as follows:
1. Deleted all the Partitions using XP installation cd.
2. Created 4 partions like C,D,E,F without formatting any drive. All the 4 partitions have the RAW data.
3. Deleted the partition of C drive and got the unpartitioned space of my hard disk.
4. Installed Ubuntu in this unpartitioned space.
Now the ubuntu is working perfectly, but the issue is I can't access my those 3 (D,E and F)logical drives which are in RAW format. How to format those drives and get access of them. I do not want to install XP again.
Our computer is loaded with Ubuntu, and my wife and I have separate accounts, which is fine. I have a backup drive with data and music and, if I want to reinstall or back something up, I have to log in as each user to do so. That is OK security wise, but I want to do a complete reload and would prefer to be able to access her home folder from my account, back it up to the other drive, reinstall and then copy everything back so she can use her files.
Also, I have a couple of files in my home partition that she wants access to occassionally. I would like her to be able to access my home directory to get to those files. If I put them on the backup drive, she cannot open them as I have the permissions. We also run KMyMoney, and would like to be able to use the same file whichever user is logged in.
I'm running Fedora 10 as host to vmplayer guests (win98se, Ubuntu 9.04). Each can connect to the Samba server and give me access to my home directory and 'backup' partition. Samba and nfs are both running. So far so good.
I've just installed Fedora 11 as a vmplayer guest. When I click Places > Network Nautilus opens up showing only Windows Network. Double-click on this item and I get a pop-up message: "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server." SELinux is disabled for the moment. I tried to mount the 'backup' partition: mount -t ext3 catinthehat2:/archive /mnt/archive but get the message: mount: special device catinthehat2:/archive does not exist.
Recently i installed VMPlayer-3.1.3 Linux version in RHEL-5.4 installation is done,but vmware-config.pl file is missing so that i cannot customise the network settings.
My host machine(RHEL-5.4),consists 2 nic card and each having 192.168.x.x,172.20.x.x ip address.In My guest machine i configured 2 virtual nic.I want to customise these nic.
Also i want to bridge the host machines eth0 to vmnet0 and eth1 to vmnet2.so that i can customise the virtual nic's.
I did these settings in windows and it is working,but this is the first time i am installing vmplayer in linux.
My Quanta Plus can not access files on my network shares.I have my network drives mounted in /etc/fstab and they work great with all programs EXCEPT Quanta Plus.When trying to open any file on a network drive I get the following error: The file <filename> could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. Check if you have read access to this file.I can use any other editor, Screem, Bluefish, gedit, pico, etc and open, modify and save files on these same network drives. Something I just realized is that Quanta Plus is a KDE app. Could it be that there is some KDE networking component that I am missing? This does happen to be a fresh Ubuntu install on a new computer. I have Quanta Plus installed on my old computer and it works fine with these same network shares (same fstab file), but over the years I have installed many programs on it and perhaps it has a KDE networking piece that hasn't been installed on this new computer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Linux on my Y drive, and all went well until I tried to boot into XP again. I can't access or install an operating system to my other three hard drives, C, X, and Z.I think that during the install my hard drives were changed to something other then NTFS, but Linux won't access them either.
When I use my Windows XP or Windows 7 disc, it says the drive has 0mb free, and it can't install until I delete the partition, then reformat. I don't want to do this obviously, because I don't want to format all of my data.When I go to Places > My Computer it lists my CD drive, Filesystem, and the Y drive. It doesn't show my other three hard drives.Under Palimpsest Disk Utility I can see my other three drives, but I can't access the data on them yet.
