In GFTP 2.0.18 on Ubuntu 8.10 at the path FTP | Options there is
no Remember Last Directory checkbox.

Hi Tim, I meant I want GFTP to remember the local directory on my
computer where I usually upload files from.

Hmmm, that is correct. On gFTP 2.0.19 (on Slackware), there is.

However, a quick look on an Ubuntu machine shows me that the correct
method for you is: FTP/Options/Startup_Directory (on the General tab).
Simply enter the directory that you want the left side (local directory)
to open in each time you start the program.

You couldn't see that on your own?

I don't think there is either, although that is irrelevant to the
conversation.

Yes, I was basing my first answer on the fact that the newest version of
gFTP does have that option.

Okay, then it would be the Options -> General -> Startup Directory
feature.

No reason for sarcasm, you got it wrong, too.... so it wasn't so
"straight forward" after all.

Since that's not what they needed after all, yep.

That's cool, I thought mine was up to date (but I don't use FTP often,
so that explains why it might not be).

It is my recollection that each time you set up a bookmark, it sets up
both panels to the directories that were in place when it was created.
Beyond that, I'm not sure there is any way to select a default directory.

I just did a quick 'explore' and I find that gftp makes a .gftp directory
in your home directory. In the .gftp directory, you will find a file
named gftprc. If you go down in that file a little ways, you will find a
startup_directory entry.

Yes, the priorities decrease from LC_ALL over LC_* to LANG.

But you should set LC_ALL only for debugging or in severe cases,
because you can't make use of any of the individual categories
anymore (for example LC_CTYPE for special characters).

You are right: If LC_COLLATE is explicitly set, LANG won't help.
You certainly could override it with LC_ALL, but you should
simply adjust LC_COLLATE itself.

There is a rarely documented feature, which helps finding
(and adjusting) the very settings immediately: implicit
assignments are denoted with quotes.

In the following, only LANG and LC_CTYPE are set explicitly.
All other categories follow the setting of LANG and thus their
values are quoted:

$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=

The problem is that older distributions won't run new software. Good
example are apps that depend on gtk. They often require certain libgtk
version or newer. Recent gtk versions have the supporting libraries
built with Cairo (pangocairo.so.x.y).

One could build a newer gtk, put it somewhere, and point LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to that location for newer applications, but there are many supporting
libraries that need to be compiled. It is a lot of work, and I am afraid
that some of the supporting libraries might require newer glibc, or
something like that. One could end up with custom building half of OS.

Some people might enjoy that, but it is not an exercise for everybody.

Uh...... That's incorrect.

mount -a

The question remains. How do I mount the Sandisk thumb drive? fstab had no
entry for it. Floppy, CD, HDD, but not of the thumb drive (usb).

For the purposes of his question, it is correct.

This is not the first time someone has posted here where they
clearly believe they have to put an entry into fstab in order
to use the mount command.

I use mount all the time, and never fuss with fstab.

I don't have to, because as I pointed out in the part you deleted,
I'm doing things that don't require it.

Having an fstab entry for a device may make the mounting simpler, or
doable (if you're only a user rather than root), but that's mostly
a convenience. I'm certainly not going to put in an fstab entry
for any possible devices I might want to mount, especially not if
each gets mounted on rare occasions.

It would be a different case if an fstab entry was required in order
to mount something.

Because you don't need an fstab entry.

Find out what /dev the drive appears as, someone pointed out one way
to find that out. The reality is that that may change, so you need
to check it rather than rely on someone telling you what it might
be.

Then you need a place to mount it. Usually, a distribution has
some places set aside under /mnt If it's not there, you need to
create a directory using mkdir

Then you
mount -t auto /dev/whatever /mnt/point
If you're lucky, it will be able to figure out automatically what
the filesystem is, and you won't get an error message. If you
get an error message about the filesystem, then you likely need
to specify the filesystem of the usb flash drive, using that instead
of "auto".

That's from root.

As a user, permissions get in the way.

Mount it manually. First, figure out what your system sees it as. Plug in
thumb drive (key) and as root, run lsusb. This should tell you what /dev/?
it is. Then:

mount -t vfat /dev/? /mnt/mountpoint

..../mnt/mountpoint being whatever dir name you have created. Most keys
(thumb/flash drives) are detected as a scsi device, seen as sda, sdb, etc,
depending on whether you have other scsi or sata drives. You would then use
/dev/sda, etc, in the mount command. Also, most keys are vfat formatted.
You could also try -t auto.

Invoke df to see if it has mounted, then change to that dir/mntpnt. You may
have to include umount=0 in the mount command to read it.

Have you tried just plugging it in? Do so, and see if it has magically
appeared when you do a 'mount' (probably under /media - you can do a
'mount' before and after to see if anything changed). Many modern
Linuxes (Linii?) are set up to automount USB drives.

Le diflucan est un comprimé que vous avalez pour traiter les
infections vaginales à champignons microscopiques causées par la
levure appelée Candida. Le diflucan est utilisé pour traiter les
infections fongiques, les candidoses, les infections urinaires, les
péritonites, la pneumonie et les infections cryptococcoses. Le
diflucan est différent des autres traitements contre les infections
vaginales à champignons microscopiques parce que c'est un comprimé
oral. Ne prenez ni diflucan, ni diflucan générique ou fluconazole si
vous prenez du Cisapride.

Diflucan est un médicament antifongique. Il est employé pour traiter
des infections fongiques. Il est employé pour traiter des infections
de levure de la bouche, de la gorge, et de l'oesophage ; les
infections de levure vaginale ; les infections d'appareil urinaire
fongiques ; la pneumonie provoquée par la levure ; et les infections
fongiques dans le corps entier et dans le sang. Diflucan est également
employé pour empêcher des infections fongiques de se produire dans les
personnes avec les systèmes immunitaires supprimés tels que des
patients de chimiothérapie de cancer, des patients de greffe d'organe,
et des personnes atteintes du SIDA. Diflucan peut également être
employé pour des buts autres que ceux énumérés dans ce guide de

Hi everybody,

Recently I logged into an FTP site with Konqueror and I need to log
into and provide username and password again. The program does not
ask. I understand that the password is stored and that is why
Konqueror does not ask for it.
How can I erase that password ? or how can I make the Konqueror ask
for it again?

Thanks,

If you need to log in with a different username, you can try to put it

sure why this error started popping now (well I do have a suspicion; I
think I had a runaway script run yum too many times and got blacklisted
by them! )

I guess I need to remove all refs to the offending repo to make this
error message dissapear. Before doing that I was planning to run an eye
over my installed list of packages to make sure we do not have any from
the RHEL repo still.

Of course, feel free to let me know if my strategy is stupid (often is!)
or I am barking up the wrong tree!

"yum repolist" produces
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - enabled

Thanks Old-Guy! That pretty much explains it.

What is this cryptic reply! I am lost! What am I looking for here! Any
