Why can't i save (or paste/copy/move) any file to the sda7 disk which has been mounted. On the other hand, i can do all those things on the sda5 (another disc)?

Probably you don't have permission. Right-click the partition, and check the properties>permissions.

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

Right, i can only read contents..

will the 'chmod' function do for this?

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

I think i'm falling in love with Kubuntu, almost like a fanboy

Anyway..

when i use the 'man' function on the terminal, i'm redirected to another screen..How do i get back?

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

Yes, that is the classic CLI method.

CLI-impaired folk like myself run

kdesu konqueror

, browse to the offending partition, right-click on it and then change the permissions in the tab. On my Linux workstation, I am a group of one, so I give the "dibl" group the read-write privilege, and I'm done.

Eh? What other screen?

If you open Konsole, and enter

man chmod

it should just put the first page of the chmod manual right there.

":q" is the way to "quit" reading a manual screen and return to the Konsole command prompt.

Looks interesting. very interesting.

And it has proven (not only to me) to be by far more reliable than a real Windoze system

The only downside I know of: "wild" 3D stuff is going to overburden the whole construction.

If i can do anything for you

Speaking for no one by myself, the best thing you could do is go help another one convert to Linux. My agenda is to see the Linux installed base double (from 2% to 4%). It takes lots of helping folks to get that to happen.

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

Already done my friend at least 2 conversions from my side.

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

Although i do have one last request..

Could someone write a more 'elaborate' tutorial sort of a thing to install href="http://www.penguin.ch/dokuwiki/doku....:vmware:model" < this

.I'm going to first try it on this machine, and if i do like it, then on my laptop and then, it's goodbye windows.

Re: Mountain or a mole - Problems with Kubuntu

Sorry for the triple post,

But along with how to use the VMware convertor. It there's a good enough tut, maybe the admin can sticky it for others like me for the future.

what do you think?

Would this be of help?
