I really like the Plasmoid called Magic Folder.I looked last year for it for gnome, but there isn't an equivalent. I also searched screenlets, and no luck. Also screenlets seems to have fell out of development... I found out, however, that windows now has the magic folder, and didnt even change the name! Now it is a matter of pride. GNOME MUST HAVE A MAGIC FOLDER!

I am currently running RedHat 6.1 Workstation. The Gnome Bluetooth software does not find my Apple Magic Touchpad. What should I do? I tried scanning by doing "hcitool scan". It did not appear to find it. I am using a USB to Bluestem adapter called D-Link DBT-120.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to install Parted Magic on my USB drive from my GParted live Cd. I don't want to install any OS. I have tried the procedure on Parted Magic's site but it hasn't helped.
Note: I am mainly stuck at this step:
Quote:
In Linux, write the Syslinux MBR to the USB drive (this is not needed when you have already a bootable MBR on the USB drive). A copy of mbr.bin is included in the USB version of Parted Magic. It's located in boot/syslinux. Change directory to the root of the USB drive that the Parted Magic files were copied to, and use this command:
cat boot/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdx
This file is located in this place on my PC as taken from the GParted file manager address bar /media/Leopard/Users/Piyush/Desktop/untitled folder/pmagic-usb-4.8/boot
Ummm... Could anyone write a command for this?
I have ubuntu 10.04 and winxp dual boot and if you leave magic jack plugged in the usb ubuntu will boot up to the desk top sometimes and freeze and other times nothing. No boot at all. Also had same thing happen with linux lime 9. For some reason the the magic jack when inserted into the usb of computer revents linux form booting. I thought ubuntu was messed up but when I put linux lime on drive by it self found out the magic jack was the cause mentioned this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a hard disk that I would like to completely remove UBUNTU from. There is no other OS on it. UBUNTU is on all of the HD no unused partitions that I can see or other windows system here at all. I would like to completely remove UBUNTU and remove GRUB also. and be able to use this HDD for a windows system. Most of the threads I have read here in the forum relate to removing ubuntu from a dual OS HDD . There is talk of using partition magic or other utility to remove or change the partitions,but most of them are about a dual OS system, whereas I have an HDD with only ubuntu on it. Does UBUNTU have an uninstall program that I can download? Does partition magic remove the Ubuntu OS? Grub?

I have an HP 6735s laptop that I have connected an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad to via bluetooth on 11.04.
When I login the keyboard automatically connects via bluetooth (once the gnome-bluetooth applet boots), however, I need to manually go into the applet and click connect for the trackpad. I can then run a script to start touchegg.
How I do set up the trackpad to auto-connect? I am guessing the built-in trackpad on the laptop is overriding it?
As i am posting in this forum you might already have guessed that I am a total linux noob, but I am a pretty faster learner. I know a few basic things but I feel like I am stuck with my problem.I want to send the Magic packet (wake on LAN) from my linux machine to another, but I am unsure how to approach this. I have google�ed my ass off but I am none the wiser. I found a few forums posts and programs that can do the trick and guides in how to use the programs but I have no idea how to install them.You have to know that my linux machine is a NAS server and has therefore only Konsole access (no GUI). As I said before I am pretty much a noob
View 16 Replies View RelatedI was upgrading from 9.X (can't remember what X is) to I believe it was 10.2 (ok, this happened over a month ago and I just haven't had the time to run after it), and lost power. Obviously doesn't sound good, right? Now when I boot I get the message "alloc magic is broken at 0xaff2c150". I have no idea if this error message is indicative of the whole problem, or what, but I can't get back to my system. I would really rather not lose my work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to remotely wake up my computer. I am using the wakeonlan tool as follows wakeonlan -i 146.x.x.x 00:0f:.I have used wireshark on the remote computer and verified it was getting the magic pack. wireshark sees the packet, and immediately the remote computer sends an ICMP dest. unreachable (port unreachable) packet back, although I assume that is normal.On the remote computer, I used ethtool so I am enable to verify that suports wake-on is set to "g" or magic packet.
I believe that wake-on-lan is enabled in the bios. I have a hp dc5000, so I turned on S5 wake on lan in the bios. However, the computer does not wake up.My assumption is that once the computer is off, the router doesn't know where to send to packet because that ip is not there anymore. Does that make any sense? What other troubleshooting steps can I take? I don't have control over the routers though.

I've tried the full and reduced versions, and I tried building it from source, which I have no idea how to do. I am using Fedora 10.

I've been setting up a number of netbooks for friends in a group I belong to. I am installing Ubuntu 10.04 and/or Linux Mint 9 on all of the netbooks. The netbooks are all identical. Everything has seemed OK until yesterday. I tried to set the label on the new disk using: # e2label /dev/sda newlabel The error is Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda. Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
But the filesystem seems fine. It is mounted. It booted up without errors. But all the e2* tools give the same error. So I checked another netbook with an identical fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. It gives the same error although the system appears to work fine. Next I went and checked my own netbook. It is identical except I swapped out the HDD for an OCZ Vertex SSD. I aligned the partitions and prepared that drive carefully. It seems to work great. But when I ran e2label on it I got the same error message.
All the other installs are fresh, clean, standard installs where I let the installer use the whole disk and do the partitioning automatically. All are using ext4. I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 9 and it has the same error as Ubuntu 10.04. Kubuntu 10.04 on my desktop gives the same error too.
What file system choices do I have for fedora 14, what is suggested and can parted magic provide that system?I am loading fedora on the second hard drive of my laptop with windows 7 and XP pro on the other hard drive and I will also be repartitioning and reformating the first hard drive because windows 7 is 64 bit and the xp is 32.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis has to be the sixth time I am going to have to reinstall Ubuntu (Can't get enough of that Linux greatness) in the past 6 months. I just don't understand what exactly is wrong, I don't install anything extra (but the ubuntu restricted extras) yet updates that ask me to reboot will take me to a GRUB command line screen and trying to boot through the command line interface gives me an, "Invalid Magic Number", error.
There should be an official tool for when problems like this come up, so that users like me can easily move their files off their HDD before reinstalling. I didn't come here to rant but, does anyone know what may be causing this everytime, how it can be avoided maybe even how to deal with the Magic Number error and boot in (I wouldn't mind typing in the commands every time BTW)?

The problem is when I boot from the lubuntu CD & select Try Lubuntu or Install Lubuntu the computer hangs. Xubuntu 10.04 was aready installed & I could easily boot to it. I thought may be some partition table error is causing that issue & I deleted all the existing partitions with Parted Magic Cd in Console Mode.
NB: When I tried to boot to the Parted Magic graphical session the PC hanged then too.I am totally confused. Cant understand what is going wrong here. I am now left with a broken system.
I logged in as user1 with administrative privileges.I right-clicked on a folder on my desktop, then "Sharing Options", then shared the folder as "docs".Then I created a new user with administrative privileges, user2, and logged in as that user.Then, I deleted user1 - account settings, and files.Then I created a folder on my desktop and tried to share it as "docs", but I get the following error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: failed to add share docs. Error was Operation not permitted
I can share the folder as any other name, just not "docs".My smb.conf file doesn't contain the entry.I'd love to know where the configuration file is that's hi-jacked the name "docs".
I have come across a problem on my Scientific Linux, I have searched the forum but couldn't find what I am looking for, so I decided to post my question here.well, here what I did: under the Terminal I got Cramfs-1.1.tar.gz installed, and then i used the "make" command to build the cramfsck and mkcramfs and it was all successful.so now I have an image I called it "backup.img", and I tried following command:./cramfsck -x ./output backup.imgbut unfortunetly I got the following message:./cramfsck: superblock magic not foundSo I kept on thinking what is this Superblock magic thingy? I did a google search but I kind of got lost and didn't end up finding anything useful, but I am just thinking it could be some kind of package which I need to install? I tried the following command:apt-get install magicbut it seems there is not such package exists with that name.
