So, I used "NTFS Configuration Tool" to try and access windows but it could only find the recovery part of the partition so now want to get rid of it and figure out another way to access windows files. So every time I try to unmount I get
umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda2 from /media/RECOVERY
I tried going into terminal to use "sudo su"
and "sudo -i" but I get the same result. Does it only give me root privileges inside of terminal or outside to? Also I'm running on Ubuntu 9.10. Thanks
I am default user and i don't have permissions for changing the background, customize the taskbar and other stuff.. what is the command in terminal for viewing or login as root ??? To enable all permissions to my user??? HELP PLEASE
I am not at my linux computer right now, but i think you can just give yourself the permissions. If you go to where you can add users, you can give yourself permissions.
I had a problem right with being able to save to my profile I had to change my chmod settings even under sudo I couldn't save to my profile. I'm new to UNIX
I'm actually pretty new myself, so I don't really know what your talking about. I just new that this was an easy way to access root privileges when trying to download a program. I saw quite a few questions on the Ubuntu forums about this so I figured I would post it. Sorry I can't really help you.
well you acessing root privlaiges right your not saving any of your changes you see. If you run Unix you should run the command ~/.profile after making changes using bash. I don't know what you do using linux to save changes I think its /ect/.profile or somthing. If you can't save somthing you should really use gochmod 775.
sorry, i probably should have said that. Your root password (when you want to access root this way) is your account password. So, whatever password you use to log onto your computer is the same one you use to log into root this way.
how you make a file executable bit on ubuntu 10.04

I believe it is only inside the terminal.
