I'm trying to install WoW on my Ubuntu machine and I'm having trouble right off the hop. I'm using an install DVD thru wine and it says since the Installer.exe is hidden I need to remount my drive with the unhide option on.
I'm following this guide [URL]
This is the part of the guide I'm getting stuck at
Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal:
Is there an option to hide and unhide hidden files inside nautilous with a press of a button?And without the need to browse the edit-preferences-etc all the time?
I have been burning a few CDs. When I inserted the blank CD I was queried what to set the default action as, and I selected 'Do Nothing'. The CDRom drive now does not attempt to read or mount anything inserted into it. It shows up in Nautilus under 'Computer', but does not appear to be mounted properly otherwise.
I can't figure out the syntax on the apt-cdrom command.
My CDROM is flaky, but have a portable CDROM attached to a usb.

There must be something simple that I have missed.
I have successfully setup a FOG server to image my Windows clients, so I have tftp, pxe and anything else related to booting to a pxe server setup and rocking. What I'm trying to do now, is use the CentOS net install files to setup CentOS on an old server with no USB boot option, and a broken scsi cdrom drive (it's a Dell PowerEdge 2400, with a single PIII 733 and 1.25GB ram).
Using the FOG Projects gparted wiki entry (adding gparted to the pxe boot menu) I was actually successfully able to pull the net install files over to the PE, and install CentOS 5.5 via local ftp server. At first it kept erroring out (I kept picking and choosing individual packages from the package groups), so I thought it may be an issue with the GUI install (the python script kept spitting back errors forcing a reboot). In any case, I finally got through the GUI install, but now I need / want to know how to force a text mode install.
[Code]....
the bolded "append" line is where I thought I could force the text mode install script, but that didn't work. The vmlinuz and initrd.img files were both pulled form the net install iso, NOT the livecd. Would that have made a difference? If not, what / where / how should I force the text mode install script?
I just recently installed Nautilus, or upgraded, from whatever was pre-installed with Ubuntu 9.10. I accidentally clicked Hide Menu toolbar, which apparently in this, there's no way to unhide it. The only thing showing now is the Sidebar, and I don't know how to get any of the toolbars back. [URL]
According to what I have read to date, Linux should let me hide or unhide a partition by just using gparted or parted, or reverting to fdisk. Well, all three say you can do it, but none of them does. According to several sources, there is software available under DOS or Windows for the purpose, but I want to do it as a separate boot method or under Ubuntu when I boot up Live.
i set up my panels so that i have a bottom panel (windows style) and i set it to autohide.
I'd like to be able to press the windows key (Super_L) to show it just like when you hover the mouse to the bottom of the screen.
so far i have been only able to set a keyboard shortcut to show the ubuntu menu... but it will only make the menu pop up while the panel remains hidden. :
I need this because im using a tablet pc and i want to be able to press the buttons on the panel
Is the program 'unhide' is available in any of the community repositories, so I could add and then install via yast?I tried installing the rpm source package but it just hangs at 'starting' and never installs.
I am using Apache with Kerberos security enabled. The http page simply lists the directories contained in /var/www/html. I want to make only one of the directories in the document root secured so that when someone clicks on it, it requires him/her to enter credentials. Right now when I place the .htaccess file in the directory I want to protect, the directory is hidden from the list and the user has to enter the whole path to get authenticated and access the files.
I've tried Options +Indexes which was posted all over the net, but it didn't work.
I have a spreadsheet I have been using for years not and as I go I hide some of the cells. Today I unhide those cells and they came up but very thin and hard to read. I have tried to highlight the "thin" cells and do some type of format but I can not seem to get them back to the normal size.
I have been trying plop floppy to boot a bootable cdrom from a mobile USB cdrom reader, but the usb cdrom are not recognized.I was thinking that with grub or grub2 or syslinux that would be possible, no ?
I am still probably of the windows mindset when it comes to security. I ran rootkit this morning and received the following error messages;
[09:43:49] /usr/sbin/unhide [ Warning ] [09:43:49] Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide' exists on the system, but it is not present in the rkhunter.dat file. 09:43:49] /usr/sbin/unhide-linux26 [ Warning ]
After using "safely remove drive" on a usb drive automatically mounted (in lucid lynx) i no longer have the ability to remount that drive without cycling its power.I don't know if it has anything to do with removing the "unmount" option from nautilus in favor of cleaning up menu.Anyway I didnt see any forum posts on the issue ---ps. anyone have trouble using a proprietary gfx driver (nvidia for me), a custom console resolution (specified by grub), and the splash screen - when trying to access the ctrl-alt-function tty's?seems the resolution is all screwed up or something and i cant see the login prompt. disabling splash via grub fixed it fine (EDIT - did not fix it)
I used the Ubuntu 8.04 disc and went to the terminal, got the grub prompt and followed the couple of lines to setup Grub on (hd0,0), which I confirmed through Fdisk was the location of the boot. I also used my gParted CD to check the partitions and on gParted it is marked as hda,a. The flag shows it is an active boot, as does the * on the Ubuntu terminal show. I am getting the "..exist...no" message. I have xp32 on hd0,1, 64 on hd0,2 and ubuntu on hdo,6.
The machine was working properly and then it was stored for a year. It works fine with the live cd and I have the GRUB shell, which lands me at the GRUB prompt. I am assuming that the kernel is not mounted ? (whatever that entails, as GRUB one message said I had to install kernel before.....
Anyway, I remember that installing the three systems was quite grueling, as I first installed 32, then changed the boot ini file, and then installed 64 and changed the boot ini file there, and then installed ubuntu - with great trepidation- as it seems to want to partition my discs, which I pre-partitiond with gParted. I guess I could copy the GRUB text and the Windows text from another machine that has the same basic install, and redo it.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit (Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic) and sometimes my /home partition is remounting in read-only and i have no idea why. Normally I only use programms like Firefox, Rhythmbox, Evolution and Netbeans 6.8. Should I switch to the EXT3 filesystem?
dmesg shows me the following information: Code: [ 8758.010352] ata7.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [ 8758.010356] ata7.00: failed command: FLUSH CACHE [ 8758.010360] ata7.00: cmd e7/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 [ 8758.010361] res 40/00:00:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [ 8758.010363] ata7.00: status: { DRDY } [ 8758.010366] ata7: hard resetting link .....

I'm running Maverick on an older Stinkpad. I have a btrfs /home as a second partition on the internal HDDand a brand shiny new 3TB external USB western digital drive also formatted btrfs. I'm having a problem whenever I hibernate/suspend the laptop by closing the lid and start it back up later, the external drive won't remount unless I do a complete reboot. I have no entry in /etc/fstab for the external drive.Quote:Unable to mount "blah" DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending
while since I've been here. I'm having an issue with a fresh install of 11.04. Due to work requirements, I encrypted my home folder, which is fine, however, it seems to randomly lock itself down while I'm working, and it's getting really annoying.
Apps stop working, I can't open nautilus (something about not being able to create certain folders because home is locked), hell, even the terminal link on my desktop says failed to launch application (though the launcher on the top panel works). I just have to run ecryptfs-mount-private and enter my password to fix it, but it's doing this every 15 minutes or so. what might cause it to relock itself so frequently? I would expect to not have to deal with mounting my private data, that should happen at login and be good until log out.
2 days ago I had installed Fedora 9 on an old machine. The installation was from a Flash USB, and was OK and the kernel on thar installation was 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.
After the installation I updated the system, and all looks to be ok, and the system was set with the kernel 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686.
But when I start the system with the latest kernel itś get blockd on "remounting root filesystem in read-write mode" step, but not with the original kernel witch start correctly.
After update to 11.4, I would like to regain access to my encrypted home that I left intact. Both user.img and user.key files are there, but when I create the same user again in YaST, it does not recognize their presence and it asks again for size of the image. I am afraid it will just overwrite the old image. I do have full backup of hte data, but since its 150GB, I would rather not have to transfer it again.
I have thumb drive connected to a busybox box.I mounted it /opt in initialzation file. However after a while it will unmount itself because it changes its drive letter from sda1 to sdb1. How could a usb device change its drive letter by itself? How could I prevent it happening?
I recently built a computer for a friend that is only going to be used to run a network share.
The problem I am running into is that whenever the computer restarts the share, while visible, cannot be accessed by the two Windows 7 laptops in the house.
If I run 'sudo umount /media/storage' followed by 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/storage' the once visible but inaccessible share is now accessible.
I do not understand why this would be. I have added the line 'usershare owner only = false' to my smb.conf file.
I have downloaded voyage linux 6.5 based on lenny. One of the last things it says is mounting filesystem as read only. then asks me to do login. how to stop this action and eave the file system as Read/Write.
I tried to compile a 2.6.33 kernel following Alien's guide.
I pretty much used the default values for every (NEW) option avaiable. I used "make localmodconfig" on my current config (zcat /proc/config.gz) and then tried to use "make menuconfig" to check if I could change anything. I didn't understand most of the options, so I skipped it. Then I used "make bzImage modules" and "make modules_install", copied the files mentioned on the wiki and run lilo.
But when I try to boot using my custom kernel, it gives an error like "Cannot remount read-only filesystem as read-write! This can cause serious problems."
If I try to continue the boot, it hangs when trying to launch the syslog script...
The new kernel entry on lilo.conf is:
Code: image = /boot/vmlinuz-custom-2.6.33 root = /dev/sda4 label = newkernel read-only just like the default kernel entry.
By the way, one thing I changed is the kernel compression format, which I set LZMA. But it didn't seem to be the problem, since it at least started...
For starters, I apologize if this turns out to be a double post. My windows laptop hiccupped in the middle...
So I had a Linux box with two drives running happily for years. Both drives were in the same logical volume, and the second had a file system on it.
The the boot drive croaked. I replaced it and reinstalled CENTOS (making sure, of course, to be careful to use the new drive). The I put the second drive back into the volume group (and that's it).
I'm assuming I probably need to create a new logical volume, because that's how it was before, but I really really don't want to format it.
Am I missing a step or am I screwed?
Fsck -l showed the following output both before and after I put the drive in the volume group. code...
I installed Maverick with auto login. One could undo this by reinstalling I suppose, but is there an easier way to get back to the standard form of login?Hopefully that will cause my default key ring to unlock correctly.
