usbmount ?

Hello, I'm struggling in mounting an USB mass storage device: the drive is recognized (as shown by the log file - SCSI address 6) but it is not automatically mounted... is there a command that I can use to mount it? thanks Timur __________________________________ Yahoo!

The hard disk is already partitioned since it was used under Windows and I'd like to copy some data from it. Thanks, Timur __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

kinternet(qinternet) pppoe servicename, acname
by Valery Zhuchenko 18 May '05

18 May '05

Hi! In man for pppoe described following options: ------------------------ -S service_name Specifies the desired service name. pppoe will only initiate sessions with access concentrators which can provide the specified service. In most cases, you should not specify this option. Use it only if you know that there are multiple access concentrators or know that you need a specific service name. -C ac_name Specifies the desired access concentrator name. pppoe will only initiate sessions with the specified access concentrator. In most cases, you should not specify this option. Use it only if you know that there are multiple access concentrators. If both the -S and -C options are specified, they must both match for pppoe to initiate a session. ------------------------ I'm using this options to establish connection with my provider. Which similar settings of kinternet(qinternet) can I configure (for example, in /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/myprovider, or in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl*)? Thank you! Valery.

FYI I'm using Suse 9.2 and KDE 3.4. If I run Yast2 system information part, I'm able to see the device (SCSI address 6) in the USB mass storage section but dunno how to mount. As mentioned I also see a message in /var/log?messages every time I plug/unplug it... any suggestion on how to solve it? thanks, Timur Discover Yahoo!

KDE on Rootserver?
by Helpgroup infomailer 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hi, I´m a little Linux-Noob god forgive me ^^ Now I rent a rootserver with Suse 9.2 and have some Problem with the shell but as I can see in YaST2 this Suse was installed explicit without KDE do I have the possibility to reinstall this KDE so that I can run a Desktop through e.g. Putty? I know, some Admins would hurt me to do that but I would like to know if and if yes how I can realise that. If that works I have another question. Would the KDE depict a critical security risk for the server? Thanks in advance Norman

Hi all, is it possible to change the width of the grid where desktop icons are aligned (if this option is activated)? For my personal taste this grid is much too large. Regards Mario

Shortcut keys
by William S Fulton 11 May '05

11 May '05

I've just upgraded to KDE 3.4. It no longer seems possible to use the Windows key by itself as a shortcut key. I'm trying to emulate MS Windows and assign the Windows key to show the Popup Launch menu (default assignment is ALT-F1). The shortcut now requires the windows key plus some other key. Is there not any way to get just the windows key to pop up the Popup Launch Menu? Thanks William
