Mark - I am relatively new to Linux as well. I mean, I have been using it for a few years, but this is my first foray into modifying it and attempting to make it do what *I* want.

Steeldriver - I...

So I looked at the other udev rules out there. Why? To see what it was doing with USBs normally. After all, it DOES launch nautilus from root on the user terminal.

This is in one called...

Hi guys. My own little project has led me here and I have found myself in much the same spot as Mr. Allyn. That being getting zenity to run on the active user terminal from a script launched by a...

Well I found it.

Yeek.

This is all echelons above my programming skill.....

OK. I got her working. This is basically what happens:

1) I stick in the specific usb and the udev rule sees this has occurred. It fires my "launcher" script.

2) The launcher script fires my...

ARRRGHHH.

So I was seeing "logger" in the examples and thinking to myself that I would play it safe and only mess around in my home folder.

Not understanding that it would execute as root........

And my following thoughts..... (been piddling around).

I took all the extra stuff in my "debug" script out just to see if I could write a file upon execution. No dice. Meaning I simplified my...

OK. I am stuck now. :-(

I have created the file 99-plugspecificdevice-usb.rules out in /etc/udev/rules.d and the contents of this file are:


# This file sets the autorun rules for SPECIFIC...

OK. Now my curiosity is REALLY up on what this stuff that this command is producing:


udevadm info --attribute-walk -- name /dev/sdd1Below is the output. NOTE: it is LONG, so where I removed a...

OK. Now I feel dumb.


Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size...

OK - I have the concept I think. Excuse me if I don't have all the Linux terms right. You set a trigger udev with a rule. This thing monitors the devices, including the plugging and unplugging of...

At Cheesemill - WOW. Lots of information there. But beyond my skill level, currently. Also, it "reads" like when you write a udev rule that executes a script, you cannot get any feedback that...

First - HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Second - the question(s):

I have written a small shell script to rsync my desktop to a few flash drives. The folders I sync are dependent on the flash drive. Right...

My twist seems to be a little different. Running 12.04 on a Dell laptop.

If I am logged in as me (the administrator) and I click logout, it hangs. It will not go back to the login screen at all...

Many thanks, Mike. The link was very helpful and very well written. So I am understanding what is going on now.

I am a little skittish about enabling ACL - and I doubt I have a good reason for...

I really have two questions, 1st - Is what I am trying to do the most effective way to do this?

2nd - Why won't it work?

------------------------------

I have Ubuntu running as my home...

Well I solved my own problem.

In .config\mupen64plus are all the config files.

I had them all, but they were all 0 bytes in size. (No idea why).

In all the other logons, they were NOT zero...

This is interesting.

I have a home PC that I administer and my kids use. I (on my logon) installed Mupen64Plus from the software center. Then I logged out, and my son logged in to play it with...

When I start Ubuntu 10.xx it wants to periodically send me updates. Sometimes for Ubuntu, sometimes for Firefox, whatever via the update manager.

It's nice that it (unlike Windows) actually gives...

Double fist pump to Krazy Penguin.

Running 10.04 and mine wouldn't start off my hard drive.

Followed the instructions in his link, answered "yes" to all the questions and I am back in Linux...

Well this was an interesting read. From the mindset of a person who uses a computer but doesn't really do any development work, 2 weeks ago I got so frustrated with my Vista continually trying to...

Did you get what you were looking for?

I am new to OOo but I have a really good template that works in Excel that I am converting. I just don't know where to put it....
