[QCLUG] I'm Getting Back On The Horse

[Robert Jones]

The Tiger is dead and the Penguin is back on line  :-) .

Hi Mark, first let me thank you for the information on "kdesudo".  I'll 
give that a try very shortly.  I have my three data drives (2 internal 
and 1 USB) formatted to ext3 and managed to get them setup and running 
fine.  However, the "umask=000" gives an error so I can't use that.  I 
have done a lot of reading and came up with the following.

/dev/disk/by-uuid/abade572-4015-4173-832b-444c976a03fe /media/DataDisk 
ext3 auto,users,rw 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/677d712f-864d-4b68-8197-602e3b898018 /media/BackupDisk 
ext3 auto,users,rw 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/05e69fc8-b92e-44ee-9c66-63df5353d991 
/media/SeagateDisk ext3 auto,users,rw 0 0

The problem is it is still running as root so I can't write to it.  I 
thought the "users,rw" would take care of that but it didn't.  I have 
restarted the computer and it didn't give any errors on loading 
Kubuntu.  Do you, or anyone else, have any suggestions on what I need to 
do to make it so I can write to it.  I know that it is writable because 
I actually learned enough to go into a terminal, change to the 
directory, and tried to write with no luck.  However when I tried using 
the same command but as sudo it wrote just fine.

Sorry about being a bother but I have tried a number of things that I 
read and I just don't seem to get it.  I guess I'm just a little to new 
at this yet, but I'll get better.  I promise.

Thanks for the help
