  1. I don't remember what I did, it was a week or so, before I tried to use one of my flash drives, then it was a couple of days after that, that I really sat down to try to figure it out. Is there someway to just restore the default settings?
  2. Well, first off, I don't know how to mount them manually with "mount -t" so I don't know if they can be. I was messing around with my work harddrive, (ntfs-3g) and I was changing some of the settings using the control center, and afterwards none of my flashdrives, or my camera would mount. My external harddrives seem to mount fine. Yes automount was a terrible time in our history, I hope we have all learned an important lesson from the experience, and we can move on to a life of liberty and happiness
  3. OK, so I messed something up, and now I can't mount any of my flash drives, or my camera. They mount through USB, and they won't even mount through the control center. I think the problem is that I changed something in the fstab, but I don't know what I should change it back to. It seems to mount my external harddrives fine, but not the flashdrives, or my camera. kili
  4. Aloha Everyone Sorry it took so long to get back to this problem. I had my computer crash and then I was driving from N. Idaho to S. California. So, I reinstalled my system and then I installed the ntfs-3g packages and now it works fine, I don't know what the difference is. I didn't do anything different from last time. So, I don't what got fixed or how it got fixed, but is works now. I want to thank everyone who helped me with this problem. It always amazes me how much time and energy Linux users are willing give to help other users. When I first found Linux back in 2003, it amazed me. It gave me hope for western civilization. kili
  5. Aloha Everyone Sorry I haven't answered for awhile. I had something go very wrong and my system stopped working. Terminals won't work, I can't open the control center. I think I did something very wrong. I am also trying to get IBM Lotus Notes Client working and I think I messed something up there. SO, I am going to reinstall my system and then try to get everything going. kili
  6. So, I still can't write to the drive, does anyone have any ideas?
  7. So I tried that, and it didn't seem to have any effect, what did I do wrong? "I don't know NTFS-related issues very well, but it seems to me you could create a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/something.fdi, containing: <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.partition.type" string="0x07"> <match key="block.is_volume" bool="true"> <append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">allow_other</append> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.umask=0000" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.allow_other" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Then as root: # service messagebus restart # service haldaemon restart"
  8. I don't know how to do that other than in the control center, and it doesn't seem to work for this drive.
  9. Aloha I installed the ntfs-3g package, and suddenly I could access the drive. I am still having problems with it. It says it is read only, and I have tried changing in in the control center, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know how to change the fstab manually, can someone help me with that?

  11. [root@localhost bob]# cd [root@localhost ~]# mkdir testmount [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/sda1 testmount [root@localhost ~]# # mount | grep sda1 Popup message: Couldn't display "/root/testmount". Access was denied. [root@localhost ~]# mount | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 on /root/testmount type ntfs (ro) [root@localhost ~]# umount testmount [root@localhost ~]# Once again, I have no idea what this means.
  12. When I plugged in the harddrive I got this message: The volume 'BkUp' uses the ntfs-3g file system which is not supported by your system. Any Ideas? Also: I tried opening the device on my friends MacBook Pro. It worked fine, no problems

  14. Aloha I am already on the USB group, and I have tried other usb ports, and I get the same thing. I have another usb external harddrive, and sometimes it will give me the same thing, but when I go into the control center I can mount it there, just not this one. kili
  15. Aloha John It is a usb connection. rick
  16. Aloha I am trying to use an external harddrive from my office, but it won't mount. I go into the mandriva control center. Then I go to local disk, manage disc partitions, then i click on the partition and click mount. What I get is "Error mounting partition /dev/sda1 in directory /media/hd failed" Details: Mount point: /media/hd Device: sda1 DOS drice letter : C (just a guess) Type: ext3 Size: 233GH (99%) Any ideas?
  17. Aloha Everyone I tried to install Heretic and it didn't work for some reason. I am running Mandriva 2007. I tried installing the rpm, and I tried using the mandrake control center, but neither one seemed to work. Any Ideas?
  18. Thanks for all of the advice. I have scribus, and I will checkout latex. Now my next question, I will be collaborating with a guy who only uses windows. Can either of these save documents in windows compatible format?
  19. Aloha everybody I was wondering if anyone could make a suggestion for the best software for publishing a book. I want to create a botany field guide and I want to do it all myself. I will be using photos, maps and text. kili
  20. I just got a HP OfficeJet L7600 and I installed the HP package, but when I try to print I just get random characters. I always get JZJZ@(diamond shape)ZZ on the top left of the first page. It doesn't matter what I print, photos, documents. Anyone have this problem? kili
  21. OK, so now it won't let me play two audio devices at the same time. I can't have music playing and watch homestar runner. Either one gets no sound, or it gets an error message about the device being busy.
