The documentation on automatic mounting for usb's is here.

The short version is:
sudo aptitude install usbmount

Manually, if you know of your devices you can run:


sudo mount...

If that's not too big a problem, then yes, that would be easier than troubleshooting GRUB :-) .

If you don't have access to a shell on your server, what protocol is the transfer? ftp? sftp? http?

What happens if you right-click on "Applications" and select "Edit Menus"?

I just checked, and I get the same results with "Malformed Release File".

If you have a liveCD (of Karmic or later) you can restore the GRUB2 bootloader using the instructions here.

Assuming the bootloader IS the problem, that is. If you press "shift" after the bios...

Try running:


file vol3.rar

that will tell you what the file actually is from the file header/magic number. If it says "data", the file is likely either corrupt or incomplete.

The default method is to navigate to System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Crikey people, read each other's posts.

SMB as a "default" would be more disappointing because it's not native to the platform, and counter-intuitive to use between two linux machines.

Assuming you've considered any security concerns that could arise -

For each user, add into their .bashrc file the following line:

Sure there is.

If you're not using compiz, go to "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts". Click "Add" and you can add the following entry:

Err, apologies if this is obvious, but you've set permissions to 755 when the error requested 775.

Sorry to post in a closed thread - I was compelled by my own arrogance & need to assist where help was not requested.

Err, I'm sure this is much simpler than the options being discussed. Here are...

Interesting questions.
1. There are different kinds of virtualisation, and often the virtualised OS does have certain requirements on the host it can run on. In my opinion, the simplest kind of OS...

If you press shift during boot (immediately after the bios has loaded) you should see the GRUB2 menu, which has some recovery options. Have a look through there for something that may help.

This one seems to work for me -

If I force an error:

What compatibility issues are you referring to?

Do you get the "Processing <filename>" output?

Can you print one of these files just by running:


lpr <filename>

You might be able to change the setting through "Failsafe Gnome". Log out and select it from the "Sessions" menu before entering your password. You should be able to change the setting from there.

Doneski.

Seeing Steam was a pleasant surprise. Been awhile since I've had time for games.

Asking for specific apps was a good idea. Asking for types of software will generate a pretty unhelpful...

Ubuntu liveCD has gparted too.

Like lidex mentioned, you can't edit a partition in GParted while it's being used.

fdisk might allow that, I can't remember.

If you type "memtest" in Synaptic, there's an app called "memtester". I haven't used it & don't know how good it is (considering how much is running in memory when the OS has already booted).
