Even as root when running Nautlis, it won't let me mark as executable, when the file in question is in a partition that is not / - that is, on my win7 partition. I check the box, and it unchecks immedietly. It has no problem doing so when it's on /. What do I do to make it happen?
In Xubuntu, I can't seem to mark files as executable. I go into the properties, but there is no option to do this. Is there a way to mark .exe and .jar files as executable in XFCE?
I am running into a snag on .exe files in Lucid. I have Wine installed, but I can not open the file as it is blocked from executing with a window popping up telling me that this file was blocked due to security reasons. I go into the files properties and try to change the permission but that does not help. Is there a way to get around this? Possibly in the terminal as root?
Code: [andreas@loony /tmp]$ ls -al total 40 drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Jul 14 10:28 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 May 18 10:55 ..

A colleague told me that this does not work for shell scripts (even though apparently it does work for shell scripts under Solaris). However, this is not the problem per se, because I discovered this problem when using a binary program that needs the s-bit feature. I only made the small shell script to make sure that I understand everything that is going on and that it is not the binary program that is behaving badly... but I do believe that the problem is not in the program but in the operating system.
Set uid works. It is only set gid that does not work. That is, setting the s-bit for the owner works, but setting the s-bit for the group does not.
I hope this post stands in the right section.I have a commandline i need to enter in terminal when i want to run a program. i tought lets put that piece of command in an .sh file and just click the file to run the program (then i dont need to open terminal first an give in the command) however the .sh file does not open the program. so i propably need to make a executable (application/x-executable).

I can't type an exclamation mark with my keyboard. I can type other symbols that require the shift key (~ @ # $, etc) but Shift + 1 does not give an exclamation point. Here's the intriguing part: following a tip from another thread, I changed my Visual Effects setting (System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects tab) from the default "Normal" to the setting "None". Immediately after doing this, I was able to type exclamation points. Problem solved, right?
experiment to make sure the Visual Effects setting was really the culprit. So I flipped my Visual Effects back to the default "Normal", and sure enough, I stopped being able to type exclamation marks. Having verified the (apparent) cause of the issue, I tried my solution of changing the Visual Effects to "None". Of course the "solution" didn't work this time (so much for my great idea) and I am left unable to type an exclamation point.
I have concluded that the fault must lie within my user's configuration (I can type as many exclamations as I want when logged in as other users).

Open synaptic. Type in the word "Game". Then you have to scroll down through the list of results and mark each one, individually. Is there any way that I can simply mark ALL the results of the search? There is an "Unmark all" button. Can we get a "Mark all" button? It would have to mark only those packages that currently appear in the right hand box.
I just started having a problem with my ubuntu Jaunty.When I try installing Gimp and VLC through Synaptic I get the following error Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependancies. Make sure that all repositories are added and enabled in the preferences
gimp: Depends: libgimp2.0 (>=2.6.10) but 2.6.6-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>=1.29.3) but 1.26.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libc6 (>=2.11) but 2.9-4ubuntu6.2 is to be installed I get similar message for VLC as well
I installed Amarok after this problem started and it installed properly.
I have setup debian lenny as router - kernel 2.6.26, iptables 1.4.4 and compiled xtables-addons 1.17 There are these rules in:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --restore-mark iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark ! --mark 0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m ipp2p --bit -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j CONNMARK --save-mark iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j ACCEPT
Unfortunatelly if I try dowload something via router by ktorrent, then there are minimum of packets with id 1 (I find that at the last rule). There are only a few 100B packet with id 1 eventhought I downloaded a few MB with k torrent
There was a necessity of creation cluster file system on a basis gfs.Prompt how better to mark a disk 500 gb. Means how many better to allocate /root, LVM and so on.Or throw the reference on sensible manual.
The janitor wants to remove certain applications (svn, virtualbox) which I installed the easy way by going straight to the top and installing a GUI... I then realised the GUIs sucked, so I removed them. Now the computer janitor wants to remove virtuallbox, svn, and who knows what else all because of those stupid packages! how to mark certain packages as deliberatley installed so the computer janitor will take them and their dependencies off the list and let me clean things up?
A new directory (Desktop with uppercase D) appeared in my /home/mark dir and my icons disappeared. Upon further looking, I see there are 2 directory's in my home, one called desktop (all lower case,) the other is Desktop with uppercase D. I copied the stuff from desktop to Desktop and my icons are back. Where is this information kept so I can fix it back. I guess I need to tell Linux to use desktop, but I don't know where that is.
I am following the very basic Software RAID instructions associated with 10.04. I am installing using 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04.1 as well as 10.04.2. Hardware is an HP ProLiant ML110 G6. A couple months back I installed on another ML110 G6 using the 10.04.1 install and was able to successfully install a more complicated RAID install. On that system I ran with three partitions. The swap & boot partition was setup as RAID 1 and the third partition was setup as RAID 5. This system had four 1 TB drives installed. That system boots to OS and at this time seems to be just fine.
I am trying a new install on another ML110 G6 but this time using two 2 TB drives under software RAID 1. Following the very basic instructions I am trying to create two partitions per drive. The first one as RAID 1 Swap and the second partition is also RAID 1 but should be marked bootable. This is where I am having problems. I am not allowed to mark the partition as bootable. The only way that flag seems to be changeable is if I leave the partition set to ext4. But once I change it to physical volume for RAID I lose the ability to change the boot flag.
I have tried both 10.04.2 as well as 10.04.2 install media thinking that was the problem but no go. The SATA mode setting is set to compatible which is what the working ML110 G6 is set to as well.
I am currently at a loss. Since the instructions are so simplistic, I am thinking this must be a hardware issue some how.
a) what does the green check mark do in simple-ccsm? It seems to undo all the settings changes I have made. And what is the "Advanced" Profile?
b) say i want to tweak something that simple-ccsm can't do. Slow down the animations so I can actually see them, enable or change edge snapping , et cetera. Does changing settings in this one disable my profile in simple? I seem to wreck everything whenever i try to work with ccsm but simple is just too simple--I'm not even looking for eye candy so much as functionality. b.0.1: can i do half screen snapping on the side like vista does?
I use Debian Jessie + KMail on desktop side. My mail server has Spamassassin installed. My problem is that I receive some spam and it goes though the server-side filtering.
I mark all messages as SPAM in KMail but neither KMail or the server learn that those are spam and should not enter the inbox.
How to get rid of the messages? Unsubscribing is not an option - I don't want to click on any link contained in the mails.
HW:ACER ASPIRE 4920G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT. I installed debian sid from latest daily testing businesscard the day before yesterday. I did a fresh install,I select LXDE for desktop and checked standard & desktop packages while installing. I got a complete blank screen with broken color when I restart pc while I finished installing. I did a web search and add radeonhd.nomodeset=0 to grub and I run into LXDE. But I still get a problem. I tried to install gnash & gnash-common. I got E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Using a GUI file browser, I would like to be able to mark files with an emblem or something similar as quickly as possible, with a single click. I'm currently using Gnome Nautilus in my Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't seem to offer the functionality. I'm not keen on trying the extension Nautilus-Actions as it doesn't seem to be open source. I've set up some scripts though, but accessing them through the pop-up submenu is just clunky enough to still have me searching for a faster solution. Does a file browser exist that would let me set up a toolbar button for marking files? Or a button for launching scripts, which would amount to the same thing.
I wanted to get away from windows, because of the helll lot of issues it gave me. I installed ubuntu in my machine, and i am facing lot of issues to activate internet. May be I am fool number one. So need some help from experts. FIrst my hardware details :-

I have gone thru lot of websites and forums to try to enable the wireless connections. Till now I have installed the ndisgtk_0.8.5-1_i386.deb, ndiswrapper-utils- .9_1.54-2ubuntu1_i386.deb & ndiswrapper-common_1.54-2ubuntu1_all.deb. Then I was able to install the windows driver for my wireless card. But still the status is showing as disabled for the wireless adaptor. Please help to make it working.
I got a NetGear wireless router recently. Attached it to my Huawei (pardon the spelling) modem. I have a HP 540 laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 The wireless gets connected. But there's an exclamation mark almost all the time. Very frequently these days, the connection gets bogged down or websites just don't open at all. But the icon (with the exclamation mark) shows Active Connection. I don't know where to start looking for bugs. Seems odd. Wireless is connected, I can connect to sites, but there's the exclamation.. and sooner or later, connection goes off but the icon still stays the same with "active" label.
Is it possible to remove the "ubuntuone-synchronized" emblem from files and folders that are being synchronized with Ubuntu One? Seeing the check mark on all my files and folders is just really annoying and distracts from the thumbnail preview that nautilus provides.I've tried going into folder properties -> emblems and de-selecting the emblem but it won't let me.
I'm installing Debian for the first time on a MacBook but each time I use the ISO I only get a blinking folder with question mark on startup. This occurred with both the small and large ISO from Debian.org. I think it's a known GRUB issue. I can boot using refit off HD but I still can't get into full install.
