Ubuntu :: Can't See Ext HDD Directories In Nautilus But Can In Terminal
Jan 9, 2010I'm using an external USB Iomega Rev 70GB HDD. (Have been for a few years). It uses UDF format for higher transfer speeds of large files. (This is not an option, & not changeable), therefore natively recognised since 2.6.20, I think. (But no official Linux support).
Occasionally though, I run into problems such as can't format a disk in Linux, need to boot to Wins to do it. Also like today: So I have a bunch of comic pdfs & cbrs on it, mix of .rar files & folders. They were there yesterday. Today I went to read something and I couldn't see them. Thought maybe I'd deleted it by accident, but no. Looked at the drive in terminal and I can see the "missing" files and folders fine, but can't see them in Nautilus to open in Comix.
-Tried setting all permissions on the whole drive to R/W/E through Nautilus.
-Files & Folders aren't hidden.
-Tried rebooting.
-Tried using Administrator Nautilus.
-Thought it might be a re-emergence of the recent Nautilus Preview bug, so swiched File Preview off.
Fedora :: Accessing Directories From Terminal?
Aug 29, 2010o, incredibly simple problem that I am having a terrible time finding an answer to. I am trying to setup a program in Fedora to be redirected to a folder in my 64-bit Window$ partition, however I am not sure how to tell Terminal that it has a "(" and ")" in the path name.
The exact path in standard value is as follows: "/media/12842F85842F6A85/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps" What SHOULD this look like in Terminal?
General :: CHMOD And Highlighted Directories In Terminal
Mar 16, 2010So I gave the following permission using sudo su to some directories:
sudo a+x -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
sudo a+w -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
After doing this, I can access write and read all directories but my terminal shows these folders highlighted and I really dont like this. Is there any way they can look like before (with no highlights)?
Fedora Installation :: Chance Porting Ubuntu's 9.04 Xorg To F13?
Jul 27, 2010I realize that I ask for a rather crazy thing . My problem is I own an HP2133 with via graphics. These drivers are very poorly supported, both open-source and proprietary drivers F13 runs quite nice on that machine, but playback of videos or flash lacks much perfomance. Proprietary drivers are only provided for Ubuntu and that only for 9.10 by VIA until know. With these drivers Ubuntu 9.10 is able to playback flash/videos quite good. But Ubuntu (9.10) brings a few annoying bugs, which do not seem to be fixed, that is the thing I do dislike with this ditstro. I pushed my luck and tried these drivers with F11/F12, but they did not work due to differences in xorg version. In F10 it was possible to use 8.04 VIA drivers, but F10 has EOL and is besides flash playback considerably slower than later Fedora releases.
So I thought using alien or similar tools to convert the xorg packages from Ubuntu 9.10 into rpms and install these to a F13 release.... (Like downgrading to an older xorg like it was necessary in F9 for ATI cards ...) As the VIA drivers did not work with earlier version of Fedora, I had the idea porting Ubuntu's xorg to Fedora that way.
Before I start spending a lot of time on this, I would like the freaks and neerds around here, if this to your opinion could have any chance of success.
Fedora :: Any Chance To Put Tomoe In Use With Ibus?
Apr 18, 2010Since I updated to Fedora 12, I've been using ibus-anthy to input Japanese.Unfortunately is lacking of handwriting input, something that scim was offering through scim-tomoe. Is there any chance to put Tomoe in use with ibus? Or any alternative solution that works on Fedora? I can't figure out how to use WriteRecogn btw.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora Hardware :: Chance The Motherboard Could Damage The New Video Card?
Jun 20, 2010System:
Fedora 12
Motherboard: ASUS A8V-XE (Socket 939)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Memory: DDR 400 184 pin (PSD1G400KM)--two sticks, 1 GB each
Much to my consternation, my video card blew a few capacitors. A local computer shop said that they tried a working PCI Express card, and the video was still not working, so they concluded the PCI Express slot was damaged as well. However, they also tried an older model video card that uses the PCI slots, and everything worked. So I ordered a new video PCI video card. It's on its way (Amazon). However, in the meantime I had a 1997-vintage video card sitting around, so when I got the computer back, I tried it. No signal to the monitor, not even motherboard booting beeps. Nothing. I called the shop back. He said even though my old card fit the PCI slot, new changes might have made it incompatible (16 vs. 32 bit, etc.). Anyway, even when I take the card out and boot, no beeps. That makes me wonder whether the old card did something, and now the motherboard is damaged beyond use. The man at the shop said the possible incompatibility of the old card should not have damaged the motherboard. Instead, he suggested that once a part of the motherboard is damaged (and we know the PCI Express slot is damaged), the motherboard as a whole can start acting erratically. However, it was beeping at the shop; now it is not.
I'm hoping those on this forum more knowledgeable about hardware than I am can give me some advice on the following questions.
(1) Does everything the shop did and said sound reasonable and likely?
(2) When my new PCI video card arrives from Amazon, if the computer still will not boot or even beep, does this prove I need a new motherboard?
(3) Is there any chance the motherboard could damage the new video card?
(4) Biggest issue: If I need a new motherboard, should I try to find one that accepts the same CPU and memory sticks? So far, I haven't been able to find one online. Or should I bite the bullet and get a new CPU and memory to match the new motherboard?
(5) If I get a new motherboard, new CPU, and new memory, can you suggest some possibilities of what I should look for? I don't want low-end, but for the work I do, I don't need really high-end, state-of-the-art either. I don't play computer games.
Ubuntu :: Viewing Hidden Directories With Nautilus And Using "cd" In Terminal Missing Trash Directory
Jul 7, 2011The directories

Ubuntu :: Colored Directories In Terminal "ls"?
May 20, 2010Over SSH when I do a "ls" command, I see some directories with a green background and blue text. What does this mean?I think it's related to a problem I'm having. I have the directories shared over the network. I'm the owner of all the directories but when I tried to move one of the colored directories to a different location (over the share from MacOSX) I got a generic "access denied" error.

Ubuntu Installation :: Letting Vista Take Charge?
Apr 28, 2010For a while now, I have multibooted my Vista installation with Ubuntu. However, up until now I have been happy with Ubuntu being in charge of my boot options. I am wanting to change my bootloader so that when my machine boots, and no choices are made at the boot menu, Vista automatically starts after a set amount of time instead of Ubuntu.
I know the boys over at APC have a guide on how to do this, but it involves copying information from the menu.lst file and using EasyBCD - I was wondering if these steps will still work now that I am running Karmic Koala, which I understand uses a different method of changing GRUB entries (manipulating the menu.lst file is no longer part of this process and is no longer recommended)
If someone could tell me how to put Vista in charge of my boot options so that it will boot automatically instead of Linux, that would be greatness.

May 15, 2011I want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

I would like some help on the subject of installing them on usb hard drives. Most the time, it's GRUB being antsy about where it's installed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Activating Graphics Card Won't Letting To Boot
Sep 19, 2010I'd been using 10.04 for a while and then one day the computer wouldn't boot. It just loaded up to a low res purple screen with the loading dots on it and froze. I managed to get all my files back and everything and re-install and it was working fine until I enabled the graphics card and then the same problem occurred. I've isolated the problem to the graphics card. It's never given me issues before and I've been running Ubuntu for about 2 1/2 years now so I was kind of surprised.
It's an NVIDEA card by the way. Any suggestions as to what I should do? I need hardware support for graphics because I do some work in 2D and 3D and as such need to be able to do that stuff on my PC. I don't want to have to keep reinstalling to check if the graphics card is working again yet but it's the only thing I can think of =(

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Mdadm Is Letting Me Down - Won't Recover My Raid
Aug 21, 2010I HAD a fedora 11 server with md RAID 1 across two 1TB SATA drives. The md0 space was set up to be an LVM PV and the single LVM VG was carved up into 5 or 6 LVs. The MB on this system died and I wound up buying a new one.
Now I want to recover the data from the RAID1 setup on the new server. However, when I attach the two 1TB drives to a new fedora 13 setup, mdadm is only able to find one of the two drives. The partition on the second drive shows "busy" during an mdadm -A -s -v to scan for md volumes.
Well, one drive should be enough since this is RAID1, right? Well, when I do a pvscan -v, the other drive shows up as a "NEW" pv not allocated to a VG. In addition, vgscan does print "Invalid metadata header checksum" when it runs but it doesn't point at any particular PV. I'm afraid to go any further with LVM since I can't afford to lose the data on this system. It is backed up offsite, but the restore will take several days and I can't afford to be down that long.
Are there any tools or techniques where I can dig deeper into what each drive, in the RAID1 pair, has right and wrong with it and pick one that I can force into a usable VG so that I can recover the data?

Slackware :: AE1000 / Rt3572sta Driver Not Letting Set Essid / Ap
Oct 4, 2010I recently got an AE1000 USB Wireless adapter... In researching how to get it to work under Linux, I came across some helpful information on URL... that advised on how to download the ralink ra3572sta driver, which I did, and managed to successfully compile and install (for sake of reference, I'm using Slackware 13 with the 2.6.33-4 x86_64 kernel)
Suffice it to say I tried several other combinations of ra0 up and down, etc. My best luck came from editing the /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat file as suggested by the readme for the ralink driver, which lets me successfully "set" the essid for the adapter, but it doesn't associate the access point or receive any data, etc... Basically the only function that seems to be working is scanning for APs. Apparently this driver works under other distros like Fedora/Ubuntu that use NetworkManager, but I can't figure out why its not working for Slackware. The thought occurred to me to try the driver under 32bit distro and see if theres any difference, but wondered if anyone here had any experience with this adapter or could offer some advice to point me in the right direction on this one?
