It is possible somehow restrict access to a partition to a specific user in Ubuntu? I am using Ubuntu x64 11.10, I made 2 accounts, both accounts belong to the Administrators group.

First, Thank you for looking a my problem.

I have just moved from Fedora 11 to Fedora 12 and am having an issue with the places sidebar in Dolphin(KDE).

I am using ubuntu11.10 64 bit version . while checking the user account i have changed my admin user as an standard user. As aresult there is no more admin user. and here the problem begins . whereever authentication is needed it is asking for admin password .

I have windows Vista on my HP laptop. The user administrator and standard accounts have always acted wierd.

Amazon EC2-instance: I made a user 'admin' and copied ec2-user's keys with proper permission. After successful login, i tried to do sudo su for root access, it says 'admin is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.'

However i can do sudo su with ec2-user account and can gain root access.

What is sudoer file?

cant access windows drives!! 2 years 30 weeks ago

i recently installed #! on my pc. i installed it alongside windows. all the partitions are NTFS except for the partition that contains #!. when i log in to #!, i cant access my NTFS drives straight away. when i double click them 3 message boxes appear. the first 2 are empty; the third one says directory doesnt exists.

I have a Dell Dimension / Celeron D PC, with Windows XP, and 3 80GB hard disks. This is my first foray into Linux ever. In Dec. '11 I downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 to a USB, and installed from it. I partitioned sda with 2 NTFS partitions for XP, sdb with 3 partitions for Ubuntu, and left sdc with 1 ntfs partition for music .mp3 files. I'm using the default gnome GUI, mostly.

Hi, I have a dedicated remote server that I access using x2go but I can't change the status of a user from standard to administrator. Because the unlock icon is inactive.

Can I do it using the command line?

Obs: already edited the user groups. Didn't change from standard to admin only by doing that. Obs2: I'm accessing it with the admin account.

thanks.

I have just managed to install OpenSuSE 11.3.

When I try to access a NTFS partition (holding my .MP3s) I get the error message
