The router doesn't support it. I doubt that's the issue anyway: I re-installed the printer while the address remained the same.

I have a brother 265 connected wirelessly to my router. 2 PCs (both cabled to the router) print to it: A ******* that works, and an Ubuntu 12.04 that works SOMETIMES. I deleted the printer on the...

Update:

Found out that changing the file permissions of "config" so ONLY "gunter" has ANY permission made it work. (weird, ssh worked before, and I didn't play with the permissions until ssh...

Anyway, even if this did work, it will just substitute a word for the IP address, so if the router decides to give "p4ubuntu" a different IP address, then the script I'm using for ssh or rsync won't...

Not sure if fun is the right word ;)

I went to that website, it looked like a possible answer to my problem. So I edited "config" with

Host p4ubuntu
HostName 192.168.1.8

and now the...

Am new to ssh, so this might be simple.

This command works:

I'd like to thank you for your contributions so far. I did a lot of reading and tinkering, and have come up with a suitable work-around because of that, (learned a lot about users, groups, domains,...

hmm. Are you saying that I can't change the NTFS permissions when running Linux?

I'm using Samba (via Nautilus). And it's this GUI that won't change the permissions either (right-clicking the...

Using 12.04 gnome no effects

On my dual boot laptop, I have the Windows NTFS partition visible and usable as "Acer". Most of my data resides there. No problems.

Now, I'd like to share "Acer" on...

Thank you!!!

Problem solved: it was Backups Gone Bad. I deleted them from /media/ubuntu/media, and now have the expected 56 G free disk space, and a working computer.

Thanks again, Gunter

Using 10.04 on a dual boot laptop, worked fine for over a year.

I noticed that the free space in the partition (75 gig) was shrinking way faster than the file system grew, which at last check was...

Brilliant! All seems good again! I guess that's the equivalent of chkdsk in DOS?

Thanks a lot, mate, you saved me a lot of grief.

I have used Ubuntu desktop on my laptop for a couple of years without problems. It behaved weird today, and on re-booting checks the filesystem till 15% and bombs out to a maintenance shell.
