Thank you so much all,
I followed the wiki with no problems, everything worked exactly as
described. It's so nice to know a complete Ubuntu novice can follow
your guides and get results.
Couldn't have done it without your help!!
Cheers,
Dave

Nice, but Ubuntu 6.10 LTS (at least) doesn't offer that in its file
browser. :-(

In Kubuntu I edit the fstab or other root owned files by highlighting
the file and then
Wow, thanks guys, fantastic effort! I'll work my way through the wiki

davephillips,
The new wiki page that peterw created explains what you need to do
quite well. Since you are running Ubuntu however, I suggest you edit
your /etc/fstab file with gedit, which should already be installed:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Vi would be a nasty introduction to Linux or Unix:)

I've just created a wiki page for this -- please edit as you feel
appropriate. Caveat: I'm a long-time Linux user, but don't use an
external drive like this on my SlimServer system.

Mudlark, thanks for your advice I'll try it and let you know.
Ron F. again, thanks for the advice, I'll try to follow what you have
recommended but I've gone a bit cross-eyed reading that!! I'll see if
I can follow the instructions.
Cheers all

davephillips,
I think you want to change how Ubuntu is mounting the drive - I assume
you are going to leave the drive attached permanently? If so, then you
want to edit your fstab file.
The problem is that Ubuntu is mounting the files with a umask of 077,
and so the files are not visible by the
I would guess that mounting the usb drive to a directory within your
login will do the job. If you create the directory in your desktop then
mount the usb to that directory i think that will have the permissions
OK.
If not then chmod command will do the job on the usb directory.such as
sudo chm
For permissions issues, you'd need to change the access using the chmod
command. There's probably a way to do this through the Gnome
environment but I am not familiar with that.

Have managed to find the USB drive, thanks for the pointer, but it
won't let me specify a directory on the HDD, regardless of
case-sensitive attempts... I am scanning my library now - fingers

after years of Windows. Ive downloaded Slimserver 6.5.3, which is

I've tried this and had no success, if anyone is familiar with Linux /
Ubuntu's directory structure maybe you could help??

Sorry to be a pain, but I've decided to try out ubuntu for the first
