| 155344 | 2003-06-26 10:25:00 | This was s'posed to be my 100th post but I missed the boat.. so it's now about 4 late or something :p Anyways, Ive had a few nagging questions, and I figured now is as good a time as any to ask them! 1. KInetD.. When I try and run the Desktop Sharing Server in RedHat 9, it moans about it not being installed.. and I might need to restart KDE after install. Ive restarted the whole damn PC about 10 times in the last 3 weeks since I installed RedHat, can it ask for much more? Any idea's why its not running? 2. Mount Permissions Im sure its possible to mount a FAT32 partition with R/W access to userXYZ only.. and not userABC, but how? I hate having to be root to write to it, but dont want my other users except myself to have R/W access! AFAIK its something in the fstab, but I dont know what? 3. Screensaver Nothings more annoying than waiting for the screensaver to turn on at night after the 2min timeout, only to find 10mins later the screen turns off and the screensaver didnt kick in at all! Any reason why? As a side note.. Did anybody know you can set Linux to increase the volume at a set time.. I just figured that out right then.. very cool! 4. Nice isnt being nice! When I open up System Monitor in KDE, and try and change the nice value, it hangs after I enter the root password.. How to fix it?? 5. ICQ.. Licq, Gaim, or something else? Licq is brilliant, has Remote Contact Lists (Which is a MUST seeing as I have never used anything but ICQ Lite or ICQ2Go!), but doesnt have Emotes, and I miss that.. Gaim looks pretty nice, but doesnt have Remote Contact List options.. Preferrably I'd like to get GAIM going with my remote server user-list... can I download a plugin? Or should I look for another app... ? 6. Not much This is just a placeholder.. Ive pondered for the last 20 mins what the other two things were.. and so here's a "Be ready for them" one ;-) Thanks guys, and here's to another happy 1K ;-) Cheers Chill. |

| 155345 | 2003-06-26 10:48:00 | 1.? 2. Mount permissions, just set the privleges for the mount point folder with chmod 3. ? Maybe energy saver has something to do with it 4. Did it on mine too, better off doing it in terminal. Upgraded gnome and it works sweet now. 5. I use kxicq2, but only use it for sms though |

Maybe energy saver has something to do with it Its intermittent... sometimes goes and sometimes wont.. could an app open be stopping it ? > 4. Did it on mine too, better off doing it in > terminal. Upgraded gnome and it works sweet now. How do I do it in a terminal ? > 5. I use kxicq2, but only use it for sms though Will look into that :-) |

| 155347 | 2003-06-26 11:35:00 | Change the ownership over from root to yourself with chown (man chown) chmod 700 - read,write exec for yourself (777 gives everyone these privileges) renice - changes priorities (man renice) if you ever want to find a command that does something use apropos doesthis |

| 155348 | 2003-06-26 12:01:00 | Congrat's C_S Its 1008 now (not 100) :) Don't know squat about Redhat, still haven't figured out how to install Yoper V1. Even downloaded the whole sheebang again (the md5 checked out anyway) but still not installing. Haven't managed to get to the bottom it of by asking at the Yoper support forum either. Was really keen on it but don't think I'll risk something so flakey. Don't mean to rain on your parade so one last for the road, what would be a good nix varient for a newb? Would need to sit on the same comp with w2k pro. So how many posts in total? must be getting up there. Cheers Murray P |

| 155349 | 2003-06-26 12:10:00 | Ah, yes, I wrote 100.. noticed just after I'd posted it ;-) Lycoris would be good, otherwise, Ive done it with RedHat 8/9 not too much worries! I can send ya a Lycoris CD if you like :-) Email me Psycho*_*Sabertooth*@*Hotmail*.. :-) BTW - Does it begin loading? You're supposed to get to a stop point where its got a bash prompt and you type yoper I believe :-) |

| 155350 | 2003-06-26 12:14:00 | I get a nice long list of "Operation Not Permitted" when I do chown -R -v for /mnt/hdc1 to my user | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 155351 | 2003-06-26 12:40:00 | Yeh I've had it loading all the way to entering the password, once, once it wouldn't get past the first bash after the Yoper boot screen. But it mainly craps out after "Yoper is installing" or some such, then I get screeds of "can't find file. no such directory" and similar language. I was thinking of loading it to a virtual CD instead of burning it. Anyway I'll drop you a line at the addy above. Thanks Murray P |

| 155352 | 2003-06-26 12:53:00 | Don't do it recursively, and make sure the drives unmounted first. Apparently you also have to change the ownership for that device. Found and easier way though. In fstab do something like this /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs uid=500 0 0 where uid=your id type id at terminal to get it |

| 155353 | 2003-06-26 12:55:00 | Dont do it exactly like that though, i forgot to change the filesystem (ntfs->fat32) | rsnic (3780) | ||
