Actually I want to create a new user, and then make a folder public_html in the newly created users home directory. I am successful at creating the new user but am unable to log in as that user. and hence I can't really write into his home directory as I don't have root access and other users don't have write permission.
@soandos how is windows 8? I saw the consumer preview version but found that it was not that user friendly ( I couldn't find the shutdown button..for like 10 mins).. most probably cos I just used it for like 11mins or so..
@soandos Loads of features on the desktop itself.. but seems made for a touch screen.. (maybe?) Really love the quick boot up.. and the looks but beyond that I haven't used it that much
@Bob sudo -u? do you mean like sudo -username ? wont I have to be logged in as that user to do so?
When i plugged EVDO stick the stick program popup every time. There is no option from the application side to prevent the popup. Is there a way to disable this annoying program popup?
Thanks,
-u user The -u (user) option causes sudo to run the specified
command as a user other than root. To specify a uid
instead of a user name, use #uid. When running commands as
a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a
backslash ('\'). Note that if the targetpw Defaults option
is set (see sudoers(5)) it is not possible to run commands
with a uid not listed in the password database.
@ShyamK I have no idea, tbh. Try it?
A quick test in Kubuntu worked, so it might depend on your security config
@Bob On my pc, I had two OS installed: Fedora 16 and Windows 7. Yesterday I decided to remove Fedora 16, so I open the Windows utility and just deleted the partition where Fedora was. But I forget that after installing it, it changes the bootloader to GRUB, so my computer did not start..
@unNaturhal do you have another Windows 7 computer and a spare DVD?
@soandos The advanced repair options only appear after the installation detection. The installation detection is only performed after entering repair mode by clicking that link, which @unNaturhal can't seem to find
However, I describe what I see: The first screen, make me chose the Language, the second make me choose the versions of Windows 7 to install (and there is just Windows 7 Ultimatum x64), the third is the screen with all the partition where you have to choose one where install windows7..
I've seen a few (unofficial) tools floating around to change the version of a DVD by modifying a single file, which indicates the other (important for repair) files are the same
@jokerdino well, if there's some way to add the Windows partition to GRUB, he'll have two options: just use GRUB, or temporarily boot into Windows to create a repair disc
@unNaturhal Thw Windows bootloader is a complex beast
But seriously, the real problem here is GRUB overwrote parts of the Windows bootloader (specifically, the parts that sit in the MBR). Those need to be repaired (reinstalled)
To remove Ubuntu, you will need a Windows Recovery CD or Installation CD, or a Ubuntu Live CD.
Note: If you don't have a Windows Installation or Recovery CD available, you can download the Windows 7 ISO file here. You cannot install Windows with a genuine Purchased Product Key though, as these...
Uploading is described as transferring a file(s) like photo, audio file etc. to a server on the web. I wonder a couple of things how uploading occurs as network/communication means. For example, when I upload a photo from my computer to my facebook profile, does it also mean downloading that file...
