I have a debian desktop at home, which is mostly used by my school going daughter. She is happy using Linux. Quite used to it now.
We have removable USB drive permissions problem that I am not able to quickly solve (for last few months). It always mounts the USB stick in root user. So deleting/renaming (or copying to) anything on pendrive is a problem. we are living with this problem ever since we switched to debian quite a few months back. /etc/fstab does not have entry for usb pendrive/removable devices. I tried adding her user name to netdev & dialout groups but that did not help Would love to get more pointers to solve the problem. ==========0=0=0=0=0======= little bit of background When I installed debian 7.x/8.0 on the same machine long time back it removed the graphical login, so we were using it by first logging into text mode and then invoking startx. Seems like recent updates fixed that problem and automagically graphical login is presented now. This is one of the reasons I use Mageia on my Netbook/Lappy and not debian. OR Maybe I lack technical skills to fix debian problems due to philosophy or otherwise :-) -- Consultant Spirituel GuRuV!SiON _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
