I'm trying to get my printer to work on Ubuntu. Supposedly it's supported, but needs a driver. I've downloaded it, but it is not wanting to install without a password for root. [04:20] I'm pretty sure that I don't actually want to set a root password from what I've read... [04:27] parkaspace you already set a root password [05:21] hi [06:00] is someone able to talk me though how to use chmod to change the permissions on an external drive I have. It for some reason after formatting reverted to be root only. but I want read/write privelages for all users etc [06:00] is someone able to talk me though how to use chmod to change the permissions on an external drive I have. It for some reason after formatting reverted to be root only. but I want read/write privelages for all users etc [06:01] dropbear: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Mount_The_Drive [06:01] the chown part in particular [06:02] thank you [06:05] I also have a rather strange questions. I updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I have my desktop without anything down the side or along the top or anything. is there a simple fix to this? [06:12] simple fix, reinstall [06:12] another one could be removing ~/.gconf [06:13] oh okay [06:13] I will try that [06:13] and hmm [06:13] yeah, you could try with a new user account if it has the same proble [06:14] if so, I would probably purge gnome\* :P [06:14] okay [06:15] in relation to my earlier problem about trying to change the read/write for my drive. when I enter mount -a it tells me that my mount point does not exist [06:18] dropbear: run fdisk -l [06:18] okay [06:18] make sure the drive is showing up [06:19] it's there [06:20] it's /dev/sdb [06:23] bioterror: is there a way to reinstall 11.10 and keep all of my file... like through the update manager? rather than making a USB and booting with that [06:24] i would always backup any data before reinstalling or whatever [06:25] you can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l to a pastebin for closer inspection [06:25] and elaborate as to what the isssue is... [06:27] I can't do anything with my external drive because in the drive propertiees it is all root only privelages. I tried editing fstab but when I enter mount -a it comes up telling me that my mount point does not exist [06:28] dropbear: when i have added an external drive, i have followed the steps that in linked, and all has been well for me [06:29] ok [10:36] hello [10:41] I'm having some troubles with installing new version of PHP. Can someone help me? [11:21] Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble on my first Wordpress install.
