Windows will make money

Use amarok with XINE instead

 

[Rahim]

With Linux you are spoilt for choices. Rhythmbox, Amarok, XMMS, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Audacious, Exaile...........Take your pick. There is nothing like he best, its all about your personal choice, some like it simple & minimalistic approach & some like all the bells n horns thing.

Finally it is solved. How? Plz clarify

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

hey after you gave me the CODE i just pasted it in fstab file !
then i created a directory sda6 in /media folder !
restart ! that's how its fixed !

by changing the mount point you can change names !

its real easy !!

by intuition i discovered that

to mount do this

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/name

and to unmount

sudo unmount /dev/sda6

 

[Hitboxx]

mount - sudo mount -t vfat /dev/xyz somefolder

unmount - sudo umount somefolder OR sudo umount /dev/xyz

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

but sucks man coz now i don't have permissions for sda6 ! can't delete files there ! i mean in that sda6 only which i umounted and mounted

well hitboxx now has given the -t option .. lets see what that does !!

i tired hitboxx command .. no permissions for sda6 .. the one which i mounted and unmounted damn it

don't know how to add permissions to drives .. !

 

[Hitboxx]

Again very easy

In that fstab, change umask to

/dev/sda6 /media/sda6 vfat auto,noexec,quiet,[B]umask=0000[/B] 0 0

But remember this will give you unparalled access to all drives, so use it carefully.

Note: you can do the same during mounting also.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

well that's not what i wanted actually
just write permission to sda6 .. it was lost after remounting .. i think restart will set it correct

i tried this sudo chmod 777 sda6
but without success !! lol !

i tried this also

sudo mount -o rw,remount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6

this also not worked.. saw this in unix book that i have

 

[Hitboxx]

Try sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/sda6 (Permission mode)

OR

sudo chown -R akshay /dev/sda6 (Ownership mode)

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

oh man soo much for this
i will just restart and that should do it ... lets learn this next time !

yeah finally restarted.. got read and write permissions for sda6
maybe praka knows why ..!

btw why can't i see Options in Tool Menu in Firefox ??

i wanted to change homepage that's why !
and also download settings !

the option is provided in view or edit (not in tools)

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ yes saw that ! lol ! a bit different ! ! thnx !

Akshay, do you need to mount that fat32 drive everytime? I don't think you need to. You haf set it to auto mount rite?

Regarding BT, just follow that thread and install all the apps (including BT obex support/Wammu/Gammu) That will solve all your problem as far as cellphone and BT/management are concerned.

And just connect the usb data cable to the phone and the other end to the usb port and set the mode to File transfer in phone and voila! its automatically mounted in LInux

You won't miss Bluesoleil in anyway in linux. Just that all things don't haf a unified interface. You can even use the BT remote control!!

Also, one suggestion. Disable that Deskbar applet. It eats up almost 10mb of RAM (The orange magnifying icon on the Panel). You may also remove the fast user switch (you name on the taskbar). Jus right click on these two and select "remove".

@Akshay
Also your desktop looks boring with the default theme. Just head to www.gnome-look.org and beautify your desktop

 

[eggman]

Can it be Installed on SATA harddrives?And from where to get it/

What?

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

infra_red

yes you are right i can connect phone.. i thought i can't without drivers.. newb me.. lol .. for file transfers only
dunno about sync and stuff ! will hv to see that !
we can mod phone in Virtual Box .. but don't know how safe that is

thanks for the tip .. i will removed the search deskbar thing also the user thing !
i thought my desktop already looks cool !
as it really much better then win xp look !
will check that site out man !
thanks !

i edited that fstab and that drive sda6 is auto mounted at startup
initally had to do it manually !

 

[infra_red_dude]

If using BT just install the BT obex ftp and bluez-utils and gnome-bluetooth packages. Just refer to that thread. It has the names of the packages. You can use hcid to use the Remote control feature. Tho it doesn't haf a GUI frontend yet (or it does and I dunno) Also Wammu+Gammu is for syncing. Its analogous to MyPhoneExplorer in Windows.

The only thing you will need to boot into Windows for is to run FAR manager and XS++. Tho I hafn't tried vmware/virtualbox/qemu. It may work.

Yeah, just head to that site. You will find everything there!!! Do one more thing. Jus list everything thats enlisted in: System > Prefs > Sessions - Startup programs and Current Session page. You can disable some more progrs if possible to save memory.

Actually what I'm trying is if you are able to save enough memory then you can enable minimal Compiz effects, if your onboard hardware supports it, that is.

If you can sacrifice GNOME and live with XFCE then surely you can run Compiz with basic eye candy on your 192mb RAM machine!
