I installed java from this file (i think) jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin, using the guide on how to install java on linux.

But I also installed java from add/remove, without uninstalling the first java i...

I have installed the self-extracting ( i think it was called that) on my desktop using sudo commands... but i want to remove it... how?

Hi.
I'm trying to download a video from youtube by typing kiss before the url, but there is no "download now". Instead a message telling me that it has not detected java appears.

I tried to...

After trying the chown command, terminal says

anders@anders-laptop:~$ sudo chown anders '/media/My Book'
chown: changing ownership of `/media/My Book': Operation not permitted

Now that I have turned the computer on again, it gives me the same error (must be superuser). Do I have to mount the device every single time I connect it to the pc?

I followed starcannon's tips... worked great! Now I'm on wifi!

Thanks. I learn a lot of you guys :).

New problem: anders@anders-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

hi.. I'm following a setup-guide for my eee pc so that I can get wifi on thisd laptop. But i am having problems with the codes that are to be used in the terminal.
Here is the...

It seemed to be sdc1 yeah!
Thanks a lot for the explaination! Now I things are a bit clearer.

anders@anders-laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l

However, "/dev/sdb1" is already mounted on /home it says, after running "mount /dev/sdb1" from root.

You mean I should first type gksudo nautilus (then the root folder appears) and then do a new command in the terminal with /dev/hdb1 ?

hdb1 doesn't exist on my laptop, btw?

Yes, then I get "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'My Book'"

Perlluver: I have now entered both commands, but it didn't seem to work? Still getting the error.

I will have to rewrite everything from terminal since I cannot use the Wi Fi on the internet with my eee, so I am on another computer now. I cannot copy it with a USB stick either, since the same...

Okay, it seemed to be mounted now, but the "superuser"-error still appears when I try to open the my book..

I have sda and sdb on mine. Sda is where linux is, and sdb is where my files are.

When i type :" sudo mount /dev/sda '/media/My Book'" it says "mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /media/My Book...

Okay, thanks!

New problem after typing "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 '/media/My Book':
"mount: special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist"

Hm.. What exactly is /dev/hdb1?

I have checked /media now, and there are two folders:
cdrom and cdrom0... How am I to create a new My Book folder, when you cannot right click and add a folder?

Thanks for the answers, but I think it is a bit complicated.

I have this My Book... And i typed : "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/My Book"

Then a list with commands and so appears... but I am not...
