I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and am unable to read any DVD from my DVD writer. I'm sure its some Software issues as CD's seem to work fine with this distribution. 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

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?

Some suggest that one should use
dpkg-reconfigure adduser
and select
<no>
But that doesn't do what I'd like to achieve (with a newly created user):

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. Here'a a screenshot of where I'm at:I believe I set up fstab correctly:

My external HDD became read only, and even not readable for a folder in it. Until now I had no problem with reading/writing on it but at my last mounting it get unwritable. When I right-click and try to change rights it says you cant it's a read only file system...

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 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.

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 am evaluating Horde Groupware Webmail Edition. I have completed the installation as follows:

So I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition and burned it to a disk. Shut off my computer and restarted it, booting from the CD Drive. It couldn't find it. So I thought maybe there was an unrecorded write error so I burned it to a second disc. Well after burning it I noticed I can't even see the disc anymore. It doesn't seem to be recognized at all. That explains why it didn't boot from CD.
But what I want to know is why on earth is it basically going invisible and not working? I've never had a problem with burning discs, especially Ubuntu stuff... So why...? Well I just booted up the CD on a different computer and it seems to be working fine. So it appears that my computer simply has ceased to see bootable discs or maybe its just non-empty discs.
Does anyone know what I should do to read a dvd disc that I recorded on my dvd recorder off the satellite decoder. When I look in winxp it shows the contents which is only a video_ts folder and no audio folder. Inserting the same into the pc with ubuntu 9.10 running the drive reads the disc but I then cannot access the contents, which I want to convert to a divx file or similar. Will I have to use my Windows system for this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is the deal: my school purchased a test prep which they distributed to us, the only problem is that it is for windows. When I try to run the exe in wine the program windows pops up but the screen is blank (i can see the menu bar and and the title bar). It appears that most of the information is located in a folder as html files (separated into chapters for each section) with links to all the figures/tables/questions
(also html files). This morning I have been trying to find a way to compile the html files into a format that I can read without having to hunt for each individual html file. I tried navigating with firefox but had to change each individual link before I could do that (very time consuming), I tried using doxygen (the GUI front end) to convert it to Latex/rtf/html/xml (all the formats) but did not have any success (It could be that I am using the app wrong). I tried opening some java applications found within the application data folder in hopes that it would bring up the navigator without success. And even tried installing java in wine (unsuccessfully) to see if that was the missing key to run the program in wine.
My question is, do I just have to fork out the $500+ that it would cost me to purchase the books instead of using the school provided program (free to us)? or is there a relatively simple way to compile these files into a format that could be readable.
tl;dr - have multiple html files for a windows native program that won't run on wine that I would like to convert to a more easily readable format (i.e. chm, pdf, etc), is it possible?the program was legally acquired through my school, I did not download or pirate it. I am not looking to distribute it, just looking to use it for my own studying purposes without spending $500+ or buying a windows license/computer.

I have been scouring the internet looking for a good solution to reading .pdb eBooks on Linux.It seems that there isn't one.Could you perhaps recommend a good app to either convert the file easily into something readable or (more preferably) an app that can read them?
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.

We have about four workstations and a server. What we need is authenticating with the server, and when you log on, you should see your own desktip and documents idnependent on which workstation you use. Could this be solved by placing the user's home on a server share?We also need a server share accessible from both Linux, Windows an Mac, readable and writeable, as some prefers to bring their laptops to the office.I've read a little bit about terminal servers, but using the workstations as thin clients sounds like a waste, as they're just as powerful as the server. "Fat" clients sounds better,
