You can start reading here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

Edit: looks like you own a very old model of HDD with a fair number of OEM specific attributes

Yeah, next point of call will be a Samsung or Seagate forum I think.

Hi Everyone, I am "renovating" an old PC that has Windows XP Professional on it. You can view the diagnostic history regarding the Hard Drive at the following pages. http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28988 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1040966098 The gnome-disk-utili...

Should have mentioned that I was interested in the 32 bit version regarding the RAM usage.

Thanks, Michael.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me what the base RAM usage is, for a default installation, with only the Task Manager running?

Thanks, Michael.

Hi Everyone, I'm using the GParted Live USB to look at the C: Drive of a Windows XP Desktop which won't boot because of a damaged file in the C:\Windows\AppPatch folder. Using the File Manager, in GParted, I can browse/navigate through all the Folders but I can't see the Sub-folders of the Windows f...

Can anyone point me to a list of applications/software included with this version?

Thanks, Michael.

Oh good.

I won't bother trying to repair the Installation then as it looks like I have solved the problem as per the related Topic I created.

Allow Administrator account Read Write access to "/" Folder

Thanks Michael

Hi All, Well, I solved the problem. I wasn't totally keen on the resolution options offered. However, when attempting to use the sudo command in the non-root Konsole application I received the following message. sudo: /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so must be only be writable by owner sudo: fatal error, unab...

Hi Everyone, I have semi-recovered from a problem regarding the setting of Permissions by using the Access Control List feature. However, I can't remember if, previously, I was being prompted for the password for my (administrator) account when starting applications such as "Konsole as root&quo...

I followed this procedure one time when I had issues with my repositories and software manager and it fixed them right up and didn't harm my installation at all. It didn't affect anything, really, it just fixed what was wrong. So, were your System Settings and things like Firefox History, Session a...

Could I do the following to recover from this situation? 1. Whilst using the Live USB environment, use "getfacl -R . > permissions.acl" whilst the pwd (Present Working Directory) = Root. 2. Return to the Installed environment and use "setfacl --restore=permissions.acl" or "s...

So, how do I fix the problem? How do I reverse what I did? Boot your Mint DVD, check the permissions on all the / directories, and use the Mint DVD to set your hard drive installation back to what it should be. You will have to check each directory and match it to the live DVD. Hi austin.texas, Do ...

So, how do I fix the problem?

How do I reverse what I did?

Thank you, Michael.

Hi Folks, It appears that something is broken by my use of the "setfacl" command. I can't start the following applications. "Konsole as root" Synaptic Package Manager Software Manager KDE Partition Manager The Application Name appears in the Taskbar and then disappears after a fe...

"man chmod" is useless for New Linux Users.

As I indicated in my first post, I only want the "root" account and my account to have Full Access to the File Hierarchy.

I'll try to decipher the output from "ls -l /" later.

Thanks, Michael.

Hi Everyone, Last night (and very early this morning), I finally installed Mint 16 KDE in Dual Boot mode, with Windows 8.1 Professional, on my Lenovo B590 Laptop (Tutorial coming later). Thanks to all the tips and advice I found during my research, the install was successful. :D How can I allow the ...

Hi Everyone, I am using Linux Mint 16 KDE from a Live USB Flash Drive and I am testing Networking to a Windows Computer. After I have created a Share on the Linux computer and I try to access/open that share on the Linux computer, the Authentication Dialog Window appears requesting a Username and Pa...
