Just installed debain testing and iv'e got some problems
I'm fairly new to Linux and i've just installed debian testing, but i've got a few problems.
I need to edit my /etc/resolv.conf, so i open it in gedit as root and change it (not sure if this is the correct / easiest way to do it) but after about 5 mins, it will change back to what it was before. I'm trying to mount my Windows ntfs partition so i use Code:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win Code:
chmod o+r win When i try to change my screen resolution the highest it will let me go is 800x600. Is there any way to get it to 1024x768? My graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9200SE so i chose "ati" when the istaller asked what display drivers to use. Thanks. |

I know Linux can't write to NTFS partitions, the problem is i don't know how to give my normal user read permissions. When i use "chmod o+r win" (that would give others read permission wouldn't it?) it says "chmod:changing permissions of 'win': Read-only file system" Quote:

To modify permissions on an NTFS file system you'll have to change the mount options in /etc/fstab, since AFAIK chmod and friends don't work on NTFS (and they certainly don't work with FAT32 since the filesystem lacks the concept of permissions).
In your /etc/fstab entry for the filesystem add umask=000 to the options the filesystem is mounted with, and then remount. WARNING! This gives all users on your Linux system complete access to the NTFS filesystem. Look into the user and umask options in man mount for more info about this. |

EDIT: I fixed the other problem by changing some stuff in /etc/dhclient.conf. Thanks for your help everyone. |
