Hello again...

Turns out last time I was barking up the wrong tree so to speak.

I am trying to access a USB device from an rdesktop remote session. The drive automounts and is redirected to the...

I like that there is a solution to this (I am having a similar problem), but hard coding something like this is totally absurd. Did nobody think that maybe this would need to be changed for some...

Mounting the drive with:

sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=0,uid=nobody /dev/sdc1 /home/myuser/mydrive

I am having almost exactly the same problem since I downloaded some updates a couple of days ago.

I am in the process of writing a program in C++ that can read both MP3 and M4A tags and rename the files accordingly.

I have no problems reading the IDV3 tags stored in the MP3 files, but I can't...

With all of the people walking the streets who are apparently named "Nike", I wonder what possible problem anyone could have with the name of a Linux distro on a shirt.
