It seems that u r not log-in as ROOT. So u don't have to modify any thing except ur HOME folder. Ur desktop is under ur HOME folder. So u can copy files there.

If u wants to copy files to somewhere else, try to be ROOT / SU & copy.

He's trying to write to his NTFS partition ..

Go to Konsole (Terminal-like Application for KDE), run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

After that's complete, run:

Code:
ntfs-config

Check both the check-boxes and hit OK. Now you can write to your NTFS partitons :)

i dont know much abt linux,and its files system but how ever i was able to install it on my pc by just deleting and changing one of my drives to linux ext3 and othes as swap of 512 mb and it works and it seems to have n problem with its filesystem,
?can any give me a good reason for this problem
do i have to change my other paritions to ext 3 or other linux filesystem and as think windows is not going to recogonise these filesystems

for ntfs partitions,installing ntfs-3g is the way to get write permission.
yes,but do not login as root instead use a shortcut for Nautilus as follows in ur panel or use alacarte(in menu System>preferences>menu layout) to make an entry in Applications menu.
Code:
gksudo /usr/bin/nautilus
u get a dialog asking to give local passwd to get root nautilus.
do this.but never login as root.
edit:eek:h! u use kubuntu,so make a menu as below in desktop,
Code:
kdesu /usr/bin/konqueror
now u can browse through ur entry with full "777" privilages :)

yes.u (may) need to use terminal for configuring internet in (k)Ubuntu.
but that too isnt that tough.u can use pppconfig command to configure dial-up.(if pppconfig:command not found error,u may need to download pppconfig from packages.ubuntu.com/pppconfig and install as "dpkg -i pppconfig.deb) .

I was also using Dial-up first. But I was unable to set-up Dial-up network on Linux.

Now, I'm using Airtel GPRS & can easily setup connection on LINUX also.

I was using Dialup on Linux.Just run wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and then edit the file to add details like username , password , phone number etc.If you have an external modem , it will surely work.Having an internal modem has lesser chances on working under Linux.My internal modem had drivers only for Redhat linux 9.So check your modem driver cd it may have drivers for linux.Driver is not required for external modem.

I've drivers for my internal modem for Linux Kernel 2.4 & 2.6. It is an RPM file.
& I can't install RPM on Ubuntu....:-(
