hi there


i had some troubles with RedHat 8.0

so i decided 2 switcj Temporarily
(ya3ni 2olt araye7 shway : ) )

fa lama bedi a3mal
copy file from one drive 2 another

a msg pops up
see attachments

i thougt it`s something with the fstab
so here`s is it :

/dev/hda9 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda11 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/win_f vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/nt ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda10 swap swap defaults 0 0


i know eno lazem read more about mount command

and the fstab

and off topic
i have a file named :
dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar


dunno how 2 deal with it , this is what`ve i done ;

[nadeen@localhost nadeen]$ ls
Desktop dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar
[nadeen@localhost nadeen]$ tar xvf dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[nadeen@localhost nadeen]$ mv dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar dotNET-1.4.1.tar
# it tried 2 rename it !
[nadeen@localhost nadeen]$ tar xvf dotNET-1.4.1.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

It seems that you are not mounting the parition hda5 which is win_d as read and write and you do not have permission to write. Your mount options which has umask=0 does not seem to be working fine.

You will need to have a write permission so you can write to that partition. Two solution for you:

1- Change FSTAB so it is by default allow you to write once and for all. To do so check the following Article:

http://www.linux-me.org/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=18&Itemid=3


2- Mount the file system by hand with :

mount -o remount,rw

I do not have a windows partition to test and give you exact steps actually. So try and let me know.

Ba3deen do not give up on Red Hat and change to something else, I will give you full support till you find your ways around, stick to Red Hat ;)

I thought that we are giving support to GNU/Linux users either they use redhat, mandrake, debian, slackware, suse, turbo,.....
Please correct me if i'm wrong or if we are now a part of redhat :)

about the tar problem
rename it to dotNET-1.4.1.tar.gz
mv dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar dotNET-1.4.1.tar.gz
then:
tar -zxvf dotNET-1.4.1.tar.gz

PS. A beter idea ?
$ file dotNET-1.4.1.tar.tar
and file'll tell you what this file is !

Sure you are right :) I just wanted to tell Nadeen she will get her issues with redhat solved. Fixing the issue is better than run away from it. I guess I helped and keep helping on all distros :)

I guess I missed the tar question .. did not see it .. uniball suggestion is good. do check the type by the "file" command. You should see :

1- If it is GZIPED and TAR'd :

filename.ext : gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Day Month X hr:min:sec Year, os: Unix

2- If it is TAR'd only:

file.ext : : GNU tar archive

If it is gziped and tar'd you will need to rename it so gunzip does not complain. Hope this will help.

Nadeen
the permission problem is because that the FAT partitions dnt know anything about linux permissions while the KDE is trying to set the permissions of the files.
The error message is "Operation Not Permitted" I cannot set the rwx... permissions stuff but the data should be written successfully check it.
If it was "Permission Denied" then u may be not able to write anything to the partition at all.

from your post I could see that you want to have read/write access to your win2000 partition.
OK here it is.

1- make sure the root account uses KDE.
2- on user account go to K start
3- system tools
4- Choose File manager in SuperUser Mode
5- you will get a file manager that has the ability to do any thing on any partition
6- Mount the partition you want and you shall be able to do any thing on it.
7- I use this mount command
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d
I think you can replace vfat with ntfs (not sure)

This is my best way to deal with the two partitions on my win98 partition.

and this from Red HAT
http://www.freewebs.com/gts/file_red.bmp

so i had an idea i thougt since mandy configure my dislpaly
in a decent/good way
why don`t i borrow it`s (XF86Config)_ located
in /etc/X11

i copied over the one in redhat and OH MY GOD !
i`ve screwed up my whole system : (

had a bad time 2 solve it by running Xf86config

so do u think i d/l nivida drivers for my redhat
this is my vga card setp
http://www.freewebs.com/gts/niv.gif

and BTW this ctrl alt + (2 change the resolution )
worked in mandy but didn`t work in redhat

am attaching the XF86Config that mandy created
and also the XF86Config that redhat created
maybe u could find soemthing/ or some values
i can change 2 have a good view


XF86Config from
Mandrake

XF86Config from

Salamo 3alaikom,

I think you should search for a site with good bandwidth for the screenshots you are taking. Second, why don't you take screenshots with the .png extension or other instead of that .bmp extension? I feel sorry that you switched from Redhat. If you encounter a problem remember that Linux is totally different from Windows in many aspects. You are free to customize it and no one will customize it for you. You would be helped if you need help. Otherwise you can do whatever you like for your system and it won't complain much. You should however read so much to master as much as you can from it.

Nadeen.
I will research all your questions and I will post a reply as soon as I have answers.

For the first time I discover that Mozilla can open bmp files without opening another viewer. Back when I used IE, it had to open an external viewer.

Mozilla ROCKS :)

BTW, Nadeen, BMP files are TOO big. You would better use PNG files. Use the gimp to convert them.

Who need the GIMP!
