This is *really* irritating in Fedora. When I click on a directory, it opens the contents *in a new window*. How do I get it to open in the same one?
View 3 RepliesCan anyone tell me how to turn off touchpad clicking in OpenSuSe 11.2?
In 11.1 it was done in the Xorg.conf file but 11.2 does not have this file.
i don't know what happened, I was doing the ctrl+alt+fn thing to pan around my desktops, and i think i somehow assigned the mouse to automatically right click on its own whenever i move it or anything. This is really messed up. It's like a virus. Just writing this the right click window has come up about 20 times and there's now a dozen new folders on my desktop. How do I fix this? How do I go into controls and stuff?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to compress a folder by right clicking and selecting Compress...I get the following error:
An error occurred while adding files to the archive.No such file or directory
I want the folder and its content to be compressed to a .ZIP file which is natively accessible by Windows.
I've upgraded Maverick to Natty, and since then I'm having one problem with Firefox.
I have a list of downloaded files in FF. Clicking on every file (pdf, png, iso, etc) gives me an error, like: "Can't open <filename>: This location is not a directory". The error message is the same as if I'd run nautilus <filename>, and in fact it seems to originate from nautilus. Also FF seems to ignore my settings under Preferences -> Applications, where I can choose what program to use for different file types.
Unfortunately, I've encountered a disaster the likes of which I've never seen before:Yesterday, in slackware 13.1, while using firefox, the window would no longer move or resize, and I could no longer click on things in that window.While this happens, the icons in xfce4 panel no longer acknowledge that the mouse is rolling over them, so I can't launch terminal from a panel, etc.; however I am still able to right click on desktop and open terminal and other apps that way.Since it was high time to upgrade to 13.37, and since I was experiencing weirdness, I decided to do a clean install: I actually repartitioned my drive, and reformatted the partitions (all xfs, and after backing up my data, of course)...
I don't know if that's significant, or not. there seems to be some lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log about my logitech mouse.way too complicated to write by hand.I will log out and back on... sometimes that frees up other windows. Then I'll add the Xorg.0.log.
i want to copy a few files from my windows directory into the wine directory - its no big deal, just a few preference files so i dont have to set something up all over again. trouble is, i had the files copied, but i cant find the wine/ c: drive directory anywhere, anyone know where this can be found??

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was tweakng the desktop effects in kubuntu and adjusted the stiffness slidder to max out wabbly windows so I could compare it to more stiffer option. It is only supposed to wobble when the window is moved but as soon as I hit the apply button the window started wobbling all over the place! So fast, that I can barely tell what window it is! It is impossible for me to open any windows without them flickering all over the place. I will not be able to fix this inside KDE.
Does anyone know of a command-line option to turn desktop effects off? Is there a desktop configuration file somewere I can edit w/ nano? I am having to write this on windows7 because I can't use any windows in linux.
I am writing a script that is goin to have my server to a automated backup of windows. I have it so it will wake the machine windows machine up and do a sync with the specified files. However I need the server to be able to shut the windows machine down.
I found this guide: [URL]
And they say to use this command:
Code:
"net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "some comment here" -f -I x.x.x.x -U user_name%password"
However when i try it I get this error

I have installed Windows 7 and Debian in my Laptop. The problem is that when I get to the Grub Menu, If I select Windows 7,and then I turn off my pc, Grub dissapears and I can't no longer enter any OS. Every time this happens I have to re-install the Grub through a live CD. (This doesn't happen if I use Debian, but sometimes I must enter Windows to play games or anything like that hehe)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used a Karmic Live CD to make a forensic image off of a older Windows computer that has a fat32 drive. Immediately after booting it said it was correcting a problem on the drive, I assume that it was running fsck on it. I want to customize my own live CD to not do this. Though I suppose it doesn't do it for ntfs since there isn't a fsck for it yet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu Live CD to get forensic (can't be modified in any way) images off of drives, but on dirty filesystems it does some type of fix on dirty Windows filesystems.
It has the message: File system wasn't safely closed on Windows fixing
How do I turn that off?
I create my own live CD, so I can modify what ever. Where is it? Initrd?
I own an Acer Aspire 5552g. I have installed 2 systems on it: Windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except wifi. There is a lot of threads connected to this topic, but none has solved my problem yet. The problem occurs when I hibernate Windows and then load ubuntu - I get unable to turn wifi on. As rfkill says - it is hard blocked. It wouldn't be a problem if i had a hard switch for wifi. but I only have fn+F3 for that, which somehow fails to work in my situation.
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:~$ rfkill list
1: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
If I reboot Windows and then start ubuntu - everything's fine and working. fn+F3 turns wifi on and off as expected. I will provide some more info: when wifi's working:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
1 when it doesn't:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
2 some additional info:

I know that it is possible to mount ext filesystems from windows using either extfsd or extIFS drivers. What I want to do is, after mounting it to a drive letter with the driver, to further mount it to, for example, the "my documents" directory. The thing is, disk management in windows 7 won't recognize the ext partition so it won't let me mount.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using pidgin on both, windows and linux on several pc. To sync my log, I use dropbox. For linux, it's easy. Just a matter of symlink. However, I don't know how to sync it on windows, without manual copy-paste once I'm done on windows.
backup and delete current log (it's located at C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs)
mklink /D "C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs" "E:My Dropboxsomepathpurplelogs"
"C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs" is where you want your symlink at
"E:My Dropboxsomepathpurplelogs" is there you have your dropboxed logs.
I do have a dual boot system vista and ubuntu but thought it would be nice if I didn't have to switch back and forth for some things. Since I all ready have windows installed with all the required files, directory, and registry is their any way ubuntu could pick those up for running windows programs. Instead of emulating them in wine. In theory I could install my programs under windows and run them under ubuntu if ubuntu recognized my windows partition as c drive instead of OS.

The scenario is I have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller which runs ADUC. I have created some security groups which I would like to apply to my network shares. The problem is, the majority of my network shares are based on Open Suse machines which, although are part of the domain, when trying to configure the shares using SMB, do not allow me to select the Active Directory groups. Any solution which will allow me to use ADUC security groups?
