[newbie] Win partition write perm
Arg! This is hell. I have been trying to obtain write permission on my windows storage partition. I have tried chown-ing in a console (in su), i have tried changing via properties whilst logged in as root, i have tried in Control centre/security/DrakePerm by adding a new rule, modifying the current rule (which i shouldnt be able to do i think i read somewhere). What am i doing wrong? Everytime i make the changes, they seem to be over written again, back to the old settings. I have entry, execute and write for User, but not for Group or other. The owner is 'root' group 'root', although if it was i would be able to change the permissons. I think it is some sort of windows permissions that are stopping me, as i have had the same problem before. I need write permission. Is there anyway to edit the permission settings manually, like in an fstab type file? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi, I after fiddling around with a few different GPUs, i found i could not boot back into GUI. When booting the process mailman fails then i go into a terminal. I tried logging on then executing the commmand kde (i forgot what the gui logon one was) and kde gui ran. I then went onto my computer configuration, boot and ticked the boot into gui again, (i hadnt unselected this) and then restarted the comp, (in a terminal, reboot). Oh the time it booted when i changed the settings above, i am unsure if mailman failed that time. When it rebooted, i got mailman failed, and when i logged on as a user and then tried the kde commmand again, it failed to load the gui, because of some fatal error. I suppose i should try and post the error here, but in the mean time if anyone knows how to reinstall mailman from terminal or something, or any other alternatives, id be very grateful.

Quoting Raffaele Belardi [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Martin, It's much easier if you have the first MDK installation CD. Insert it, reboot the PC and at the splash screen hit F1, then type # rescue and press enter. After some loading, you'll be presented with a menu, where you should select 'Reinstall boot loader'. This should detect your windows and linux partitions and reinstall lilo in the MBR. What happened is pretty normal, Windows assumes it's the only OS on the disk and rewrites the MBR with it's own loader.

Well by connecting your new network card i would have thought it would be
detected during the boot.
Alternatively, you open Mandrake control centre ('configure your computer' in
the menu)select 'Network and Internet' then near the bottom of the window click
the 'launch the wizard' button. Go through that and it should detect the device
and set up your network.
Hope that helps, Martin Brandt

If it is an NTFS partition, it is mounted read-only because writing to NTFS is still experimental in Linux. If it is FAT32, you need to set the umask=0 flag in /etc/fstab so that users can write to it. Since you can't write to it as root, I figure it is probably NTFS.

There is a common denominator for Windows and Linux. Both can read and write to FAT32 (vfat). If you can create a smallish FAT32 partition, you are done. Don't know though, if Windows can see beyond any Linux partitions, so if possible, create the FAT32 partition bettween those filesystems.

I just talked a friend through installing Java on a fresh 9.2 install over the phone last night and while doing that I realized that my java version wasn't current.

The following instructions are what worked for my friend in a fresh install. The last step was slightly different for my machine because I have upgraded Mozilla to version 1.5 from MandrakeClub. I had to add the symlink for that as well as the default location. Download the J2SE rpm.bin file from Sun, open a terminal in the directory it was saved to and as super user: sh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin urpmi j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03//plugin/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ In order to make this work for mine I had to add the target /usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/plugins/ I tested, and had Ed (my friend) test java function by going to this page: http://www.expertit.co.uk/support/browsertest/ with every java capable browser he had installed. They all worked, as did my Mozilla 1.5. Best of luck to you.
