  3. debian permissions with windows drive [solved]

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Hello all,

     

    I have been trying to make my windows drive accessable from my user account. However, everytime I try to open it, a message box pops up and says that I don't have sufficient privilages. So I log on as root and when I got to change the privilages, it says that it cannot change the permissions. Below is a copy of my fstab file.

     

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>	   <dump>  <pass>
proc			/proc		   proc	defaults		0	   0
/dev/hda6	   /			   ext3	defaults,errors=remount-ro 0	   1
/dev/hda5	   none			swap	sw			  0	   0
/dev/hdb		/media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,auto	 0	   0
/dev/hdc		/media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,auto	 0	   0
/dev/fd0		/media/floppy0  auto	rw,user,noauto  0	   0
/dev/hda1	/mnt/windows	ntfs	rw,user,auto	0	0

     

    Any help would be appreciated, im completely stumped.

  4. Help installing java compiler in Debian

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to install the Java compiler onto my Debian system. I downloaded a file called

    j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin
    . Can someone please enlighten me on how I would go about installing this type of file. I thought I had done it before using something like
    sh j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin
    but all I get with that is
    j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin: cannot execute binary file

    . Any help is greatly appreciated

  7. lilo configuration with Debian [solved]

    Still no Luck. Here is my present lilo.conf

     

    # /etc/lilo.conf - See: `lilo(8)' and `lilo.conf(5)',

#
# compact

# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well.  Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.

# You can put a customized boot message up if you like.  If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting

#	alias=3

     

    When I go to the konsole and type Lilo I get the following:

     

    Added Linux *
Skipping /vmlinuz.old
Added Windows

     

    However when I boot the computer it still does the same: It says Lilo (with the version number I think) Then it waits a second and starts booting linux

  11. apt-get [solved]

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted · Edited by neocytrix

    Hello all, I just recently installed the newest version of debian(testing) and everytime I go to use "apt-get", it confirms how much disk space will be taken up after unpacking, then I get the following:

     

    Media change: please insert the disc labeled

    'Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20060810)'

    in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

     

    Where do I get this CD, and why haven't I ever needed it before with Debian?

     

     

    Thanks

  13. Running limewire in Debian

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Hello all,

    I wanted to install limewire on my debian system. I downloaded software called alien and installed limewire with it. However, when I go to run it, I get the following:

     

    Starting LimeWire...

    Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...

    OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. LimeWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com

    OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy

    You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com

    ls: /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory

    OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/ hierarchy

    You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com

    ls: /opt/j*: No such file or directory

    OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /opt/ hierarchy

    You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com

     

    Now when I type java -version, it returns that I have java version 1.4.2. I have no idea what to do.

     

    Thanks

    Hello all,

    I have most of my newly installed debian working however, I cannot find out how to mount my windows drive to get some information off of it from Debian. Below is a copy of my FSTAB

     

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.

    #

    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

    /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0

    /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

    ~

     

    How would I even go about doing this? Is it even possible?

  24. Debian - Please Help

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Hello all,

    I've installed Debian and it installed smoothly and everything, except when the graphical environment loads, the colors and pixels are all messed up on the screen, It looks (grainy) if that helps, and color quality is very poor, When I go to the configure desktop, it says the resolution is set to 640 X 480 (even after I said it was 1024 X 768 (or whatever the standard size is for most). However, this isn't even an option on the drag down menu, there is only 640 X 480, 416 X 312, 400 X 300, and 320 X 240. Someone please help me :wall:
