Cool I’ll check that out! Thanks for the resources!

So I was just looking around the files on the file system that branch off of / and when typing ls -l to look at the contents of the file there are some letters next to the permissions. -rwxrwxrwx - = file drwxrwxrwx d = directory lrwxrwxrwx l = link ( I think) brwxrwxrwx. b = It seems to...

If wodim doesn’t work you could try installing xfburn. I just installed it today to burn some Blu-ray backups. It worked great! Since you mentioned that you are new type this in your terminal: sudo apt-get install xfburn Once it’s done installing type xfburn again into your terminal to start...

I guess in my last comment I was assuming that you wanted to burn files. But maybe you just want to see files from a burned disk? I installed Mint as a VM using Paralles on my Mac. It didn't let me choose a desktop environment, it just defaulted with Cinnamon. In the first attached screenshot...

Ok cool! Thanks for sending the links, I'll check them out. Sounds like the wired stuff is simpler. I play with that for a while and then graduate to the wireless stuff. This wasn't as simple as I thought it would be, haha. I think I am missing some fundamental knowledge to understand everything...

The reason I ask about the desktop environment is because with both my Linux and Mac computers that is all that I use to burn files to a disk. But I don't think that you are using the same file browser as me. I think the Cinnamon desktop environment is standard for Mint. Cinnamon uses Nemo for...

Which desktop environment are you using with Mint?

Hey just wanted to share how I mapped my regular controller in order to play Skyward Sword in Dolphin. It can be a little tricky to do. I am using a Logitech controller that has the exact layout as a PlayStation controller. I think an Xbox controller would probably very similar if not the exact...

Right now I really just have two my MacBook Pro and my Linux desktop. I'm not set on wireless. I don't need the connection for any reason important. It's just a project to learn more about computers and about Linux. Do you think it would be better to learn how to set up a wired connection first...

Nautilus is giving me this error about Samba: Samba's testparm returned error 1: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded services file OK. ERROR: pid directory /run/samba does not exist I also have Dolphin (not the emulator one,haha) on this computer because I started out using the...

Hey gvisoc! Thanks for helping me out again! I'll check that out

I am using an external Asus BluRay burner with OpenSUSE distro and I just use the Files finder window to burn files to a disk. Does a disc icon show up in your finder window at all? I'm pretty new to Linux. Hopefully other people with more experience will chime in.

So I am looking for some help on what I need to search for in order to find out how to wirelessly connect all of my home computers together so I can easily share files between them. I haven't been able to find what I am looking for. I've tried searching peer to peer ad hoc, home server, nas...

Yeah maybe I should switch over to using Gimp and Inkscape since it would save me $50/mo on my Creative Cloud subscription. I now there are some good options to replace Premier. I haven't looked but maybe there is an open source program that could replace After Effects.

Ok cool, thanks for your insights! The aspect ratio is the same as my monitor but the color palette is an interesting idea. By default I usually always export in CMYK, because of my history in Graphic design for print files, however the monitor is obviously RGB. I wonder if that has anything to...

So I altered a picture that I took in Photoshop to make a wallpaper. I exported it as a .png file at 600ppi and file was 24.4MB. I set it as my wallpaper and then my computer froze. I restarted it and only the top left corner and the bottom right corner of the image was visible. The other areas...

So I used the command below and it worked to change the group to users: sudo chown root:users /run/media/jace/8b150391-28c6-4555-9133-4be413568719 Then this command changed the permissions to edit and delete files: sudo chmod g+rw /run/media/jace/8b150391-28c6-4555-9133-4be413568719 Thank you...

Hey sp331yi, Yeah, I do know the basic concept of sudo and su. I try to stay away from using su as much as possible, kinda got me in trouble the last time I was having root permission issues, haha. But according to gvisoc I should just change the group to users. Do you know what command I...

Hey gvisoc, Thanks for the response! I tried using chown root:users /dev/md1I didn't get an output so I thought it would work but the group is still set to root. I also tried sudo chmod g+rw /dev/md1and I got an output "Operation not permitted" so then I logged in as root and typed chmod g+rw...

Hey, So I just set up a raid 1 array using mdadm with two 480 Kingston SSD's (sdb1 and sdc1) with the name md1 (/dev/md1) ina an ext4 filesystem. I created the array just fine but where I am in trouble is with the permissions. I can't save any files to it through the GUI because the owner of...
