Linux Mint Forums

1. did you use sudo in front of the commands and scripts you ran in the terminal?
eg. sudo main-script.sh

2. the disk has been mounted read only. good for looking around but no mods or additions.
I suspect that there is an entry in /etc/fstab for the windows partition, this means that mintdisk is not managing it.
you will have to edit /etc/fstab and delete the line for your windows partition.
eg. sudo gedit /etc/fstab

edit save and reboot for good measure.

In fstab that should be clear. If in doubt post your fstab.

Based on the experience I've had with speedtouch I don't want to touch anything from there.
Is it wireless? Don't think so, it's an ADSL modem right?
Give us some more info, like what you want to achieve.
It should run by itself hopefully
Sometimes a user gets the kind of problem //edit/ with the hard disks/
you have and there are several posts about it in the forum (not always easy to find - but concentrate on the internet problem)

These are "Windows-only" crap modems, sorry to say so. I suggest you get yourself e.g. a decent Netgear ADSL router with Ethernet ports ... they usually work right away and working with and around them is far far less frustrating. Also, they are not that expensive. Trying to get your SpeedTouch to work is a waste of time. Even if it would ever work it wouldn't be very reliable as far as I've heard from other people. Alcatel SpeedTouch USB modems simply are not Linux-friendly.

If it is C scripts that gives errors there's something wrong with your C
Other scripts are unconnected to this problem. Sometimes (actually quite often) you see scripts and programs described in the internet that are supposed to be run as root (sudo) and this is not mentioned. Could be the cause
