Did you find ark and k3b?
^
just about to look for them now.
got the burner and ark.
will see if they work.
managed to delete those nuisance files by going into the winows particion and removing them from there.
managed then to delete them from ubuntu aswell.
have got k3b, but it won't let me burn any movies that are on my windows drive i don't think.
brasero will but i don't like it at all.
not sure if it's still the case, but NTFS writing mode under Linux was highly experimental a couple of years ago, which means it could fuckup or destroy your NTFS partition,
just so you know :)
^the only problem seems to be with access control on files written to NTFS partitions. Guess there could be an app that accesses the registry and maps UIDs in Linux to UIDs in the registry, seems simple enough to do, might have been done by now. hell ten years ago we had a linux boot disk util that would change the admin password as long as the admin username had not been changed (something I did on every NT machine I ever built).
The problem with NTFS under Linux is the journal sector being still documented by reverse engineering, so it's basically being developed undocumented,
who knows what they are doing or fucking up when writing on a NTFS partition,
some interesting reading here:
NTFS-3G: Stable Read/Write NTFS Driver
it may be rocket science, but then rocket science is actually kinda easy once you get into it.
is there a function on this board where i can put butterfly on ignore for the computer forum only?
Just put him on ignore for the whole forum as he posts bollocks everywhere.Quote:

ok, cheers nick, but i really like this operating system.
i think i might just go the whole 9 yards and move my 160 gig d drive into it.
i'll leave a 40 gig c drive windows partition just in case.
no problems with windows is having trouble opening this file etc etc and we have to close blah blah, leaving you with a blank screen and a 30 second scare etc.
You gay dwarf !!!Quote:

Then go GnomeFiles - GNOME/GTK+ Software Repository for the Gnome apps. :)
Yes he is running Ubuntu Gnome, not Kubuntu KDE or Xubuntu XFCE.
Glad to hear that you like Ubuntu CMN. It installed very easily, picked up everything straight away, graphics card, sound, modem etc.
I'm currently using Xubuntu on a strange dual boot laptop with xp. I installed Xubuntu using Wubi which means I don't have a linux partition just a file in Windows that pretends to be one. I wouldn't advice it but I had no free space, no partition magic and I needed to get a linux distro up and running ASAP. Using Xubuntu for nearly everything now.
When I get this job out the way (hopefully tomorrow) then get back from my trip to Taiwan I'm planning to put something like Slackware on it's own partition.
CMN is the ubuntu gnome
love the way my desktop looks now.
very clean and uncluttered.
like the built in screen shot application too.
hmm, seems that .pg extensions don't work here.

goodo.
i showed some initiative and just did it myself.
:)
classy looking desktop eh??

^no, it's the standard gnome desktop, which I don't like.... try KDE.
Have you got 3D effects working yet?
