Permissions doubt · DIGIT-ARC

I have lots of probs with my windows and h/w.So i want to return to linux only situation.But one issue is troubling me.
I am not able to give full read-write permission to myself in gui for all partitions(ntfs and vfat).Its roots property.Please tell how to change.Also if by doing so my apps also have same access?I want my utorrent on wine to write and read from those partitions,otherwise i will have to continue to use windows for downloading.

Can you post your fstab content? Maybe there is a "ro" instead of "rw" also may be ntfs -3g not installed etc.

What flvour you are using?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda11

/dev/sda8 /media/Quasar vfat defaults,auto,utf8,gid=46,users 0 1
/dev/hdb1 /media/Supernova vfat defaults,auto,utf8,gid=46,users 0 1

"Flavour is gutsy"

Try changing it to this :

Code:

/dev/sda6 /media/Nebulae vfat [B]auto,rw,user,utf8[/B],gid=46 0 1

If you're the only one using those partitions, you can add your uid.

Code:

/dev/sda6 /media/Nebulae vfat [B]auto,rw,user,utf8,uid=XXX[/B],gid=46 0 1

where XXX is your UID.

And for ntfs partitions use ntfs-3g or else you won't be able to write to them.

i thought gutsy supported ntfs-3g by default

Vivek788 - Yes it does by default but while adding a mount entry you must specify it to be mounted as ntfs-3g than ntfs (In same place as vfat currently is).

I dare tread a different path, without talking about permissions, why is it so necessary to run utorrent on wine?
Ever try Azureus ? It's the best if you ask me and runs natively both on Linux and Windows.

...and deluge torrent?

Add rTorrent to that too. But I'd still run uTorrent. So what if its a purely Windows based program, they develop it with support for Wine and its surely a great software!

yeah i tried azureus...but it crashes with core dumped error...
So i stuck to utorrent...anyway i played with chmod and had to remove linux..[

] ....

^^ Use the one from the azureus site.. Dont use the one from the repos..

but deluge helps u from playing with java dependency as for azureus.also deluge too gives lotta options.

nice i will try deluge...

sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent

deluge-torrent is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
deluge-torrent: Depends: libboost-date-time1.34.1 but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-filesystem1.34.1 but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-thread1.34.1 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

first "sudo apt-get update" @vivek.then install!
the new versions are for manual download:
*mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-filesystem1.34.1_1.34.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
*mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-thread1.34.1_1.34.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

anyway that fixed...
