Re: [newbie] Permissions solution
Good point. I do have a portable mp3 player. And space isn't an issue as the /mp3s partition is 25GB. ;-p -a On Wed, 2003-10-15 at 15:57, Todd Slater wrote: > On Wed, Oct 15, 2003 at 09:55:57AM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > I'm now copying over all my backed up mp3s from CDs to /mp3s. > > > > Regards, > > If you don't have a portable player and space is an issue, you might > look at ogg instead of mp3 to get more quality in less space. > > cheers, > Todd > > > > __ > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Permissions solution
Apparently, when you create a FAT32 partition during installation Linux mounts the partition as readonly. Or more specifically, doesn't give permissions for any other user. This makes sense. Editing the appropriate line in /etc/fstab adding my userid with rw permissions, un-mounting, and then remounting seemed to do the trick. I'm now copying over all my backed up mp3s from CDs to /mp3s.

Re: [newbie] Permissions solution
Derek et al, Thanks for all the suggestions. I was finally able to get this working with the help from a good friend who is basically a Linux God. Incidentally you can check his site our here: linode.com. Anyhow, I edited the appropriate /etc/fstab line adding my userid for my user account after the codepage part. Went something like: ..codepage=850,rw,uid=500 0 0 After un-mounting /mp3s and remounting all, everything works perfectly. I have booted to windows to test things there but it should be okay. Thanks all, hopefully one day I can answer someone elses question.. anyone need Web development help? lol -A On Tue, 2003-10-14 at 17:02, Derek Jennings wrote: > On Tuesday 14 Oct 2003 10:44 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > (Man, half the e-Mails I'm getting today are bounces from > > the list.

Quote --- umask=value Set the umask (the bitmask of the permissions that are not present). The default is the umask of the current process. The value is given in octal. codepage=value Sets the codepage for converting to shortname characters on FAT and VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used. /quote To be honest I do not know why codepage is set to 850. It is just what Mandrake sets it to by default. The important option from your point of view is umask=0 That will allow all users to read/writeto your vfat partition. The 'quiet' option stops you getting messages from konqueror complaining that vfat does not have any permission bits to set. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
