View 5 Replies View RelatedI have written a manual backup script with menus using the dialog command. When using this on a centos 5(CentOS release 5.5 (Final)) server the output is the way I would like to have it. But when using it on our RHEL server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)) it is almost unreadable. This RHEL server has been installed by another company so I don't know what they have configured.Now when I try to create a dialog box it is just waiting but not displaying anything.

I have bought a generic gamepad from China quite a while ago, which worked well on Windows XP (it's HID-compliant). However, after finally being able to switch back to OpenSuSE, I now find that I can't get it to work.
I am currently running OpenSuSE 11.3, with GNOME. I've used the "modprobe joydev" command, and if I run lsusb, I get the following:

The last one is my gamepad, and it's apparently pretty well-known. I have also tried the "cat /dev/input/js1" trick, and it does indeed show garbage when I press buttons or move the analog sticks, so in fact it should be functioning properly. However, I can't get it work. In Tux Racer it simply doesn't recognize any joystick/gamepad, and Racer (the simulator) tells me that 0 joysticks have been found.
I have been searching for a solution for quite a while now, but all topics seem to be outdated (older OpenSuSE versions, listing commands that don't exist and are nowhere to be found...)
how to get this gamepad to work? Even if it means without the analog sticks, if it at least works a bit (I'll just do without the vibration, which is apparently very hard to get to work under Linux).
I have a Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 that I'd like to be able to use as a remote control for a media player on my PC. I currently map the gamepad to certain hot-keys for use with VLC, but I can't say it's ideal.Is there a media player out there that's easy to control with a gamepad and supports a wide range of file types?Bonus points if it has an internal video library.

Can someone tell me how to get my DVD Writer working again. DVD's (all) are not detected at all by the system. They must atleast be mounted or something but nothing. I even check the Disk utility to see if the system can see the DVD but not able to mount it. No luck. The DVD is not Detected. btw All the DVD's i tested work fine in windows

Some suggest that one should use
dpkg-reconfigure adduser
and select

But that doesn't do what I'd like to achieve (with a newly created user):

i'm used to copy dvdvideo from k3b and it always worked.But I got a dvd that was readable from dolphin (AUDIO and VIDEO folders) but when I tried to copy the dvd from k3b , it could not.I then copied the audio and video file and created an iso and burned it.My problem is that mplayer could play the original dvd but not my copy of the dvd either as the iso or on the dvd itself.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a little problem using CDs or DVDs. If I put a disc in my DVD-Recorder it is mounted and the content of the disc is shown in dolphin (or any other programm for that matter). The names and attributes (size, date etc) of the folders and files are all correctly shown - except it is a multisession-disc, then there are only files of one of the sessions (probably the first) shown. The permissions say that the files are readable (user is my useraccount and group is "root").However, if I try to open a file on the disc, the program (for example sm-player if it is a video) freezes or displays a message that the file is corrupted (for example open office if it is a textfile).Trying to copy a file from the disc to the harddrive results in an error that the file is not readable, but there is a file created on the harddrive - it has the correct name but the size is 0B.Burning a disc with k3b creates also an error, although the disc is correctly recognized - but as soon as the burning should start an error occurs.I'm pretty sure that it is not an hardware-issue, since this DVD-Drive has worked fine under openSUSE11.1-32bit and it still works if I put a bootable disc in. There is no problem runnig a live-CD and I had no problems with the drive when I installed the very same system that I'm working with from a disc.Logging in as root doesn't change a thing.
I tried to search if this problem was solved before, but all I found were problems where the disc-drive wouldn't mount at all ... so please, if anyone knows a solution or at least a place where I can found one - I really have no idea what to do about this.
I got a CD of JPG files from a photographer. Some of the files are not readable on my Ubuntu machine (they show up as X icons in the Nautilus file browser). I figured out that the reason is that they are not "world-readable" (and also not "group-readable") and they are owned by a user that does not exist on my machine. I am able to work around it by doing sudo nautilus Is there any easier way to do this? I am thinking some setting I can make on my system relating to the CD driver works?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLinux permissions have always frustrated me. They are really annoying to work with and very unversatile compared to NTFS.Here's my current situation, and I don't understand what's going on here.
I have a server with a smb share, a user on another machine is in the group that is assigned to those files. The files are chmodded 770. If the user is in that group then technically that user should have access to those files... but it does not. If I chmod to 775 then the user has access. WTF? Why? I don't care given it's a local server, but still, if I have to make files world readable for a single user to have access even though I granted those rights through the filesystem and through samba, then that's a huge security issue, and it's no wonder we're not seeing Linux used for enterprise file servers.
Another thing that pisses me off with linux permissions is when a new file is created, the permissions arn't inherited. This folder gets lot of data added to it but it defaults to whatever the default permissions are. I need to run a script to periodicly fix all the permissions. To me this is really messy.

I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.10 and simultaneously added 4 new hard drives. However I can not read or write to any of the disks (without sudo). They are also showing up twice (mounted and removable on top, unmounted underneath) in the "Places" menu. Of course I want them to be mounted, not removable, R/W'able and only show up once.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not sure whether this is something that can be answered here, but I figured this is the best place to start (next to google not giving me the answer I was looking for). One of our clients are running HPUX as filesystem, however when the support guys need to report the filesystem space they keep getting it wrong. Even after someone gave them the full command which will do the calculations for them, they still seem to make mistakes. On linux the df -h works very weel but this is obviously not available here...can use to display the filesystem space in the correct formats? Even if there is a set of commands that we can work into a script and they can then just run the script.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've a faulty hard disk I'm trying to read data from before I send it to the professionals. The disk makes some "good" mechanical noise when plugged into an IDE-USB header into my machine, so I think it's spinning up OK.
Under Windows, the disk is seen in admin tools but I can't do anything to it; it's unreadable and unalterable.
Under Linux (Ubuntu), I see the sdb appear in /dev. No partitions though (no sdb0 etc). At first, I thought this implied that my MBR was bad and the partitions could not be found. But, using dd suggests it's a little worse that:

I noticed that our /etc/shadow file is readable on a patch I released for one of our in house linux boxes a while back ago. Could they use it to gain access the root account etc? Our passwords are all MD5 encrypted.
