when connection to a network the following error massage shown (unable to determine IP information for eth0. link not present)
and about the internet it said that the host not found
im using an Ethernet cable
I am trying to use a second sata 3.5 HD and at other times a USB 2.5 HD. Both prove a pain to use because Ubuntu tells me their permissions can not be be determined. They have only been partitioned to ext2 on Ubuntu. This happens on 9.04 10.04 and 10.10
I have searched the web about this found many answers which just do not work.
I want to launch Firefox at a different time every day, and send it to a landmarked page, not my home page.
Is there a relatively simple way to automate this?
How do the group-ids for the devices in /dev get determined during boot up? The system must get the defaults for the devices some time during the boot process. Where are the defaults listed?
Actual reason for my question is that I need a permanent change of "dialout" to "uucp" or, even better to "dialout,uucp" in this line:
Code:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Nov 14 15:00 /dev/ttyUSB0
How is the super user determined for the dialog box that pops up when trying to perform administrative tasks, "An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication as the super user is required to perform this action."? Does it always ask for the password of the default user created during the OS install, or should it prompt for the current user's password if that person is an administrator?I use likewise-open for windows domain authentication, so I typically log in as a windows user that likewise-open has added to the list of users on this system. I have given this user sudo access and added the user to all the same groups as the default user, yet whenever I perform an administrative task in gnome I am prompted for the password of the default user. Is this normal? It seems like the behavior would be to ask for the current user's password if that user is an administrator, and if so what determines that the current user is an administrator?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of Fedora 11 and added Raid 1 for two additional drives during the install,
So, I have 3 drives. One with the OS, that I boot from. /dev/sdc
Then 2 others in a Raid 1 config, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb -- those are in /dev/md0
Everything with the system is fine. I can boot up, and everything runs great. So then I try to view the Raid and it looks ok when I open 'Computer'. it shows the main OS drive, and what looks like the 2000GB raid drive. So i open it and just see a 'lost+found' folder. Not surprising, b/c I haven't added anything to it. But when I right-click I can't create a folder b/c it's greyed out, I can't drop files in there, and when I get Properties on the drive itself it says 'The permissions of {driveid} could not be determined.'
I examined the problem, and determined that a huge amount of disk space is being taken up by files in /var/log/ The following files:
Code:
/var/log/messages.1
/var/log/kern.log.1
/var/log/daemon.log.1
/var/log/messages
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/syslog
are all over 1 GB in size. The largest is 18 GB. Together, they total 48.3 GB. I restarted the system, forcing a fsck.
I am wondering how I would go about creating a .deb file that would extract it's contents to two different folders. I would have one file directory that should be extracted to /opt and I have a second that should bextracted to the current user's home folder and /etc/skel - How would I go about doing this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy external hard drive has all of a sudden decided that it wants to be read only, meaning I can not add files to it, delete files, or even move them around. WHen I try to check the permissions, I get the error that permissions could not be determined.
I've tried changing permissions through the terminal using "sudo chmod u+w /media/filessystem", but I only get the message back "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/filesystem: Read-only file system".
I don't know exactly whats wrong, it won't play DVD's or recognize that a DVD is in it. I checked in terminal with sudo lshw -c disk, it shows the correct info for the drive but still says status:nodisk.Double clicking or right click>open doesn't do anything either. Is there something I'm missing? Whats weird is audio CDs are recognized and will play just fine.(checked with multiple DVDs

In the "Permissions" tab of properties they say "The permissions of "*" could not be determined".

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I view a file in Linux with the 'less' command, I often only get a ":" prompt in the bottom left corner. There's no clue about how long the file will be, or at which location I am currently. When reading manpages with 'man', there's a file title and line number in that corner. And once I hit the end of the file, there's even a percentage shown. I've learned about 'less -m' but it's not that powerful. So what does 'man' differently from 'less'? They appear to be the same viewing programme, except for that file information difference.

I use the cube as mainly a workspace switcher but it would be nice to know how to enable the other effects without breakage , a guide would be nice and I realize Unity in 11.04 is new so it may take time before a guide/ work arounds will be posted.
tcl and information on how to run the program. I have installed it under ubuntu but cannot find any reference to it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a VM setup with Fedora r14 installed. I've installed openssh-5.5p1-23.fc14.2 with hopes of setting up an SFTP connection so that I can access my files off site. Actually I want to share some of my files with my mother but using a secure way of doing it.
I've got everything setup and it's working. I've even chrooted / jailed the user accounts so they can only see what they need to. I have an external HDD I've connected formated as FAT32, or so I believe since i can't check it now that it's format is listed as RAW due to me messing with the drive whilst connected to fedora and it fubar'd my format, and now that's another problem that I'm just now finding out as I'm writing this.
So if I manage to get my files back up on the drive, which I should be able to with a util I've used for this problem before, is it possible to access the drive information if I 'mount --bind' the drive, which I did before? Just so you know I can see the folder listing through WinSCP, but when I try to access it, it tells me denied. I've read that linux cant work with FAT drives and isn't able to set perms so I believe the reason why I can't access the contents is because it's set for 700 and besides the owner, which I'm not when I'm accessing them, I can't access the content.
I am new to linux go easy please. I have about 200 machines with opensuse11.4 KDE on them, I would like certain information to stick to the background kinda like a widget type of thing that cannot be removed by a user (no admin rights) and it has to start on machine boot up and also these pcs are continually moving to different spots in our building but on the same network so idk if that changes anything with configuring the ip address.... the only things that need to be visible are as follows:
Host name
User name
IP address
domain
So basically widgets are useless to me, unless somebody knows how to configure these the way I need them or maybe there is something better then widgets. I came here to get the right answer from all you geniuses out there instead of trying to hop around on google and whatnot. Let me know what my options are and how I can roll this out on 200 PC efficiently.

In top, I can see programs that are sleeping but are taking up memory and CPU. If a program is sleeping then how is this possible? Maybe it might have some memory reserved but then what about CPU? Also, it says there are four users, but I can see only two users, myself and root. How can I find out who the other two users are?
