megiddo_99

Hello, basically, I want to know how I can access shared files/folders on my windows computers from my linux computer... is this possible? EDIT: Never mind, looks like smb4k takes care of this issue nicely [moved from Software by spinynorman]

What I want to do: give myself access to a folder named 'megiddo' in the home directory Why I want to do it: because it's the way my other server is set up, this way I could test things out before I upload to the server ( the absolute path has to be the same ) Why I can't do it: Linux has something that checks securtiy settings periodically or something... chmods aren't permanent. Is there any way that I can make this work? Moved from Software forum to Security forum by Artificial Intrelligence

that's what I did, it said permission denied... but never mind, I just logged in as root and emptied it.

Thank you all so much for your help... another question... :P How do I delete stuff from my trash? it says permission denied and now my HD is full....

Another ( I'm sure, simple ) task that I need to ask how to do... how do I get a list of the apps that are running, and then kill it? Thanks for your help!

Sorry that I had to ask this, but I'm still trying to get the gist of Linux... I'm trying to install the NVIDIA driver update, but how do I shut down the gui in Linux? I set it to automatically start it at boot-up. I've tried using killall XFree86 and killall gdm, but it says killed zero processes...

I did all that, did urpmi gnome-vfs-devel, and I still get the same error! Is the type of stuff I'll get with Linux all the time? Windows's installs went a lot smoother.... Thank you so much for your help thus far

how do I remove my CD4 source? Once again, I appologize for my newb-ness

I'm sorry, it's still not working for me for some reason.... I tried urpmi gnome-vfs, ran config, same error.... so I tried urpmi gnome-vfs-devel, but it asks me for CD 4! There is no CD 4, right? :unsure: [root@x1-6-00-0c-6e-ff-27-6e megiddo]# urpmi gnome-vfs installing /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2/gnome-vfs-1.0.5-10mdk.i586.rpm Preparing... ################################################## 1:gnome-vfs ################################################## [root@x1-6-00-0c-6e-ff-27-6e megiddo]# '/home/megiddo/Desktop/captive-1.1.5/configure' checking for gnome-vfs-module-2.0...

I ran that, installed it ( it shoulda been installed already if the rpm said so though, right? ). Ran configure again.... checking for gnome-vfs-module-2.0...

How do I do that environment variable? I'm sorry, I'm completely new to Linux...

[root@x1-6-00-0c-6e-ff-27-6e megiddo]# urpmi libpopt no package named libpopt I tried running the popt RPM but it said it was already installed.... what's going on?

when I tried that, I got this compiling error... checking for poptParseArgvString in -lpopt... no configure: error: Captive requires popt library. It seems like nothing I do works, lol

oops, lol
