I'll guess you have to use a combination of users and groups to archive what you need, file permissions in itself is not enough.

If you where to create the user "kid", then a group with the same...

Have you tried to boot on a older kernel to se if that helps?

Try to read this:

Well, I can only give you a generel direction.
In Syaptic you mark the packages you don't want apt to upgrade, and then go to the menu Package > Lock Version.

As for GDM, I think it is a...

I did that just a few months back (installed a webserver on my computer), and I have had no problems yet :D You could also try to install Ubuntu in a VirtualBox, and then experiment with that.

Thumbs.db is a Windows database-file for thumbnails in the current folder. I have not heard of a file called Thumbs.db:encryptable before, but chances are it's the same as the "normal" Thumbs.db.

Happy to help :P
And thanks for link about resizing, every day you learn is a good day.

Well, I guess there is many ways to do what you want, one of them being this:
Connect the drive
Mount the drive
Browse, delete and rearrange the content of the drive
Make a entry in fstab so...

I don't think it's quite the same, but the command "du" is working good if you gives the right input:

du -h /home
du -m /home

You can read the manual with man:

man du

I would recommend rsync since it got just what you need for a automated backup:

For the first question I don't know, let's hope someone who does takes a...

Like suggested in the beginning of the thread, a second-hand Pentium is a very good choice for running a server. I got mine Pentium3 for free, it has a 1000mhz cpu, 256mb ram & 2*40gb hdd. All of...

Thanks, that list is absolutely perfect for reference before I makes up my mind about the discstation!

I am sorry to hear about the D-Link, i'll guess it was a good idea to start this thread then....

Why do you think that?
All benchmarking between the two filesystems are only showing a 5% advantage towards FAT32 but that will not compensate for the speed missing between 0.5 mb/s and 50-80 mb/s....

Without any sources to backup my claim I can't be 100% sure but since I always have had the same speeds you are describing I don't think it's Ubuntu/Linux's fault. Filetransfer depends on several...

Thanks for the replies, I`ve been looking for this info for weeks now.

The discstation (NAS) I am thinking of buying is capable of running a torrent-client, so from time to time I will have to...

Hi guys (and maybe girls?)

I can say that I am sorry in advance for posting a dumb question like this but I simply can't find the answer this time.

When the summer-holidays are a fact and it's...

Well, it's not much to go on, but I've got a few suggestions. The first is to check the drive with another Operating System, do you have Windows installed as well? Or maybe you can try to move the...

Have you tried locking the icons themself?
You can do this by right-clicking on them and press the bottom choice, lock to panel.

I was doing some reading in the forum and stumbled into this by Drenriza (it's the fourth down):

Since I don't (yet) have come around to actually test this myself, I can only point you in the right direction. I found this at http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/file-permissions_94.html :

Yes, that is correct what you are saying.
Permissions for folders is slightly different than permissions for files. But one of the "features" in the system is that you can set folder-permissions in...

It is good to know one should not use the gui for this... Thanks for sharing.

I don't know what went wrong, but I do know that when I am maintaining my servers users & groups I use the terminal to...

If I should guess I would say that you are using the wrong mount-options for /home.

Could you please post the content of /etc/fstab?
You can use both "cat /etc/fstab" & "gedit /etc/fstab" in the...

To make "mount -a" and automount work you have to make a line for the harddisk in fstab. If you are in doubt about how to write in fstab, then take a look at this:...

I'm very glad to hear :)
And I am sorry about realtime, the reason it is not working is because it's spelled wrong, but I didn't noticed before you said it didn't work... It's spelled "relatime".

Sure thing majoob

It is very close to be right. When you use UUID you don't have to use /dev/*** as well, so the line should look like this instead:
