  2. Linux security problems...

    in Security

    Posted

    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?

  6. NVIDIA driver update

    in Software

    Posted

    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...

    Assuming KDE

     

    K > System > Configuration > Packaging > Software Sources Manager

     

    Remove the checkbox from CD 4, apply/save/ok and you're done.

     

    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....

     

    checking for gnome-vfs-module-2.0... Package gnome-vfs-module-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnome-vfs-module-2.0.pc'

    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

    No package 'gnome-vfs-module-2.0' found

     

    configure: error: Library requirements (gnome-vfs-module-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

     

    Thank you so much for your help thus far

    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:

    That's strange. 

     

    Try urpmi popt-devel

     

    :headbang:

    I ran that, installed it ( it shoulda been installed already if the rpm said so though, right? ). Ran configure again....

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

    :help:

    I'm trying to get Wine to work on Mandrake, but I can't get my old Win XP NTFS partition with write permissions... I've set the permissions, and I set the option umask=0, tried restarting, but I still don't have write access ( I check the perms via properties and they aren't what I set! )

     

    I really would like to be able to run win programs with Wine! Please help me....

    when I do the locate, I get this...

     

    warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory

    warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database

     

    so I've run updateb cmd from the root account, and it says unknown command... :wall:

    hi.

     

    1. right click on your desktop and select "unmount" for your cd, before pushing the button.

    2. from the menu: log off. from kde login manager: log off, shut down.

    3. go to the mandrake control center and select the right display settings for your card and screen.

    4. use totem. it is a good equivalent to media player.

     

    :)

     

    It still won't let me shutdown, I followed your steps, but the button 'shutdown' is greyed out....

     

    New question... I installed firefox... where did it install to? I didn't see it under usr/bin, and my search program crashes when searching...

    Sorry for asking these questions, but I'm completely new to linux

     

    1. I can't get my CD player to eject.... either with the button or with the eject thing in KsCD. What's wrong?

     

    2. How do I restart or shut down? ( I've had to do it manually! )

     

    3. Is there a way to stop the screen from scrolling? I want to be able to see the top of the screen and the bottom at the same time!

     

    4. Is there a Windows Media Player port for Linux?

  21. RealVNC

    in Software

    Posted

    Whenever I try to install the program 'RealVNC' from realvnc.com, my mandrake-linux installation says it needs to install something for a dependency. I click install, but then it asks for installation disk 4! i don't have an installation disk 4, what's the problem?

     

    BTW, I'm new to linux, if you can't tell.
