all my other drives are by default write protected , so whenever i need to copy or move or delete any file i have to use terminal with superuser permission to perform the action
theparadoxer02 2017-03-09 04:49:57
how do i remove the write permission from the disks ?

Hi guys, I have a nokia cs-19 internet stick and according to the user guide it says insert stick then open CD Drive Nokia option and I should find nokiainternetmodem.deb but for me it says no media. Whats the issue here?
genii 2017-03-09 04:56:06
Slade: Tedious, but going through the mailing list archives named like: -changes-request so for instance, precise-changes-request or dapper-changes-request ( if the archives go that far back)
Slade 2017-03-09 04:57:47
genii, boo. was hoping there was a way through package search

smellysocks 2017-03-09 05:08:48
nonick420: apart from being free os, you need to use to understand the difference
ioria 2017-03-09 05:08:53
ducasse, to be honest, i didn't know its limitations
ducasse 2017-03-09 05:08:58

Castor_Troy 2017-03-09 05:23:36
is there a way i can reset my os to factory? like fresh installed ?

also, if i reinstall fresh, how can i get my home partition back/ do i have to use the same uername and pwd ?

djdks 2017-03-09 05:27:36
is it a bug?

hackspirit0_ 2017-03-09 05:37:57
Live Ubuntu USB works without installation
hh2010 2017-03-09 05:39:17
actually i guess even Private IP is messed up because i cant nmap or ssh into it from another AWS instance
djdks 2017-03-09 05:39:17
hackspirit0_: obviously installing, as I am asked about space to install

nacc 2017-03-09 05:39:41
djdks: why would that be a bug?
hackspirit0_ 2017-03-09 05:39:44
No need to "install" just use live version, if u want persistence use programs like uui or unetbootin to make a caper rw
nacc 2017-03-09 05:39:51
hari_: those aren't drives, those are mountpoints
djdks 2017-03-09 05:40:02
nacc: that is way too much, the ISO is 1,5Gb
nacc 2017-03-09 05:40:31
djdks: and the ISO does not contain all of Ubuntu.

hackspirit0_ 2017-03-09 05:41:02
Iso is compressed thing the installation itself create other necessary partitions
nacc 2017-03-09 05:41:03

installed ubuntu doesn't take up 8.6 GB; why does it ask for it then, and refuses to install?
