How to turn off auto-mounting of CDs

Hello, In RH7.3, whenever I insert a CD, it automatically mounts and a Konquerer file browser is launched. How do I turn this off, please? (ie, I would like to mount CD's via the command line, if and when I choose.) Thanks! Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] This communication is for use by the

How to disable auto-mounting of CDROM?

Hello, I've recently upgraded to RH7.3, and I've forgotten how to disable this feature in KDE. Whenever I insert a CD, it automatically mounts and a Konquerer file browser is launched. How do I turn this off, please? Thanks! Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] This communication is for use by the

Made changes in 'Control Center', now X won't start...

Hello all, I just did a clean install of RH7.3 on an old Dell notebook. (It was previously running 7.1, no prob.) After the install, everything was working just fine. I was fiddling w/ settings, customizing and such, and I changed some settings in the KDE 'Control Center' having to do w/

Re: Scripting question on a case construct (THANKS!)

Thanks to both of you for responding. The empty quotes works best for what I wanted to do (which I should have been clearer on in the first place). I wanted to make the first choice in a menu the default, ie, just hit return, and the empty quotes allow me to do that: echo -e Your

Scripting question - script to find and delete files

Hello, I'm trying to write a simple script to search a directory tree for a file pattern (specified as an argument with a wildcard, ie, testfile* or *.jpg), and then delete matching files after first prompting the user for a y/n. (yes=delete, no=don't delete, find the next match) The

Re: Scripting question - script to find and delete files

Saul, Thank you, that works beautifully. I modified it slightly to allow a user to enter a search pattern on the command line, to wit: #!/bin/sh echo -e Enter a file or pattern to search for...\n read file for i in `find . -name $file` do rm -i $i done exit 0 Thanks again! Joe [EMAIL

System hangs on boot after routine upgrade to 7.3

Hello, After a more or less routine upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3, the system now locks up w/ the dreaded LI. (I can boot just fine w/ a boot disk and have a fully functional system.) It's my understanding that this has something to do w/ the MBR and the 1024 cylinder limit? LILO worked fine in

The Problem was: After a more or less routine upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3, the system now locks up w/ the dreaded LI.  Carl D. Blake suggested: Have you tried rerunning lilo as root? For as many years as I've been installing Linux, I'm really embarrassed I didn't think of that. That's all it

I want the user to be able to use the su command to switch to any user without requring a password, like root? How do I do this?? Sudo will do this. Are you invoking it correctly? Try sudo su username. Similarly, sudo su will put a user directly into a root shell. (Assuming that user has

OT: Trapping error messages in a script

Hello all. I have a script that could possibly generate the following error: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. I can't quite figure out how to get `trap' to catch that or similar errors. (I'd like to have it echo an error message to std out and abort the script.) Am I trying to use
