[solved]Just made a 32-bit chroot, but have some issues

I can't run anything from it as a normal user.  It says the user does not exist. Was I supposed to create a new user in chroot-land?
How can I change my PS1 in .bashrc to tell me when I'm working in the chroot?

The chroot has its own /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, so yes, you need to recreate the user there. It would be kind of silly if the chroot used the same config files as the real /, wouldn't it
And if you recreate that user, you'll probably want to copy over your real .bashrc and make a slight modification to the PS1 line.

    Have you held the menu and left arrow together for 6 secs ?  (I think you have from what you say).
    Also try unpowering and restarting AppleTV.

  • Just got a iMac love it but have had problem with iTunes gets stuck at m with syncing its stuck at "waiting to copy" any ideas

    Just got imac love it but have an issue with itunes gets stuck "waiting to copy" do I really need to return phone to orginal setting?

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

    Try using VLC Media Player 2.0.6. EasyWMA 3.3.5  or Music Converter 1.5.1 should be able to convert them to .mp3.

  • Looking to buy but have some questions

    I'm currently using a Mac Mini and Frontrow, I'm hoping to replace this with the AppleTV but have a couple of questions I hope someone can help with.
    1) Can the screen saver display photos from iPhotos on the Apple TV, same
    way as a Mac does.
    2) I'm looking to export all my movies from EyeTV to the AppleTV format, all
    my movies have descriptions in them and I know these are exported to the
    AppleTV format. However does AppleTV show you this information when
    you browse your movies, I know Front row doesn't
    3) Can you just "copy" movies to the AppleTV or do they have to be synced,
    as I have a small drive on my Macbook, it would be great to just copy them
    over to the AppleTV and deleted them from my Macbook.
    A lot of questions I know but would really appreciate any help

    1) Can the screen saver display photos from iPhotos on the Apple TV, same
    way as a Mac does.
    Slightly differently, I'd say better.
    2) I'm looking to export all my movies from EyeTV to the AppleTV format, all
    my movies have descriptions in them and I know these are exported to the
    AppleTV format. However does AppleTV show you this information when
    you browse your movies, I know Front row doesn't
    The tv shows some fields on the tv screen, eyetv doesn't always put these descriptions where tv can best use them, however it isn't too difficult to move them around in get info.
    3) Can you just "copy" movies to the AppleTV or do they have to be synced,
    as I have a small drive on my Macbook, it would be great to just copy them
    over to the AppleTV and deleted them from my Macbook.
    No they have to be synced. You can use an external drive for your itunes library though.

  • Just installed Arch again on my laptop, have some questions

    Hi there.
    After a few months of being linux-less, i decided to install it again (I corrupted my partition last time and have been too lazy to fix it =P). I'm also currently using KDEmod, which is great.
    However, I have some questions.
    1) It doesn't seem that the sound settings are being saved when I log out of KDE. It's always at 100%, and I always have to turn it down.
    2) I have this little cell-phone looking icon in the systray, and when i mouse over it it tell me:
    Network Management is changing!
    it is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until further notice, please use KDE 4 knetworkmanager instead
    Well, I looked an I've already got knetworkmanager installed:
    yaourt -Ss knetworkmanager
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4 1030904-1 [installed] (kdemod kdemod-complete kdemod-networkmanagement kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4-debug 1030904-1 (kdemod-debug kdemod-networkmanagement-debug kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4 (Debugging Symbols)
    aur/knetworkmanager 0.2.2-4 (71)
    A NetworkManager front-end for kde3 and kde4, based in version 0.2.2 stable
    aur/knetworkmanager-unstable 737532-1 (Out of Date) (6)
    A NetworkManager front-end for KDE
    I remember when i had Arch before that I used ArchAssistant to manage my wired/wireless connections. Is that still around? Can anyone recommend anything else, cause I also remember getting ArchAssistant to work was a hell of a project.
    3) When I first logged in, the Akonadi Server Self-report popped up. I rememebr this from before, and could never get it to work (I really don't even know what Akonadi is, tbh). It says that the control and server process is not register to D-Bus. How can I fix this? Would I have to start and configure the MySQL daemon?
    Thanks for any help!

    For the first one, set the volume to your desired startup level, open a terminal window and run "sudo aslactl store"
    Then in your startup daemons add @alsa. That will restore your volume settings on boot, not sure about just logging in and out of KDE though. (I don't run KDE)

  • Considering Lightroom, but have some questions

    Interested in taking my photography to a new level...currently have a Mac and two Cannon DSLRs. In the past I have used I photo for 'developing' however it is limiting. I have used Photoshop and even taken a class in it at a JC however I find that it is not intuitive for me and am looking for something different....Loved Illustrator when I used it many years ago doing graphic design work so not totally discouraged by Adobe products. Hear someone talking about Lightroom recently and wanted to find out a little more about it...my questions are as follows:
    What are people's impressions of Lightroom? More intuitive than Photo shop?
    More functionality than iPhoto?
    Does Lightroom work well on the Mac? I have never used any adobe products on the mac, assuming they are similar, but have to ask the question.
    Can you buy the software without using the cloud and paying monthly fees?
    Thanks!

    Most people love it, once they learn how it works. All editing is non-destructive and adjustments are saved to a database (catalog). You don’t save files as you do in Photoshop or iPhoto. The settings are saved automatically and applied on export.
    Lightroom is more like Aperture than iPhoto. But Apple has dropped support for both apps so it’s a good time to consider Lightroom. LR6 is expected very shortly and you can take a 30 day free trial.
    Yes works well on Mac OSX
    Lightroom is available for outright purchase if you prefer not to subscribe to the Photography Plan ( LR+ Photoshop $9.99pm without any upfront capital outlay) however LR Mobile functionality and synchronization with iPad/iPhone is only available with a subscription.

  • I am using PSE 13 on a Mac. It is getting progressively harder and harder to use due to freezing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it just made it worse. I do have LR, shud I uninstall it? I am open to any suggestions.

    Why does PSE 13 keep freezing?

    about:crashes only lists crashes that you have reported using the [[Mozilla Crash Reporter]] which comes up after a crash. Because there are so many possible reasons for a crash, getting the crash ID really helps volunteers find the cause quicker.
    That doesn't mean we can't help without a crash id. :-) No crashes here, but I'm also on Snow Leopard and using Firefox 3.6.6.
    Are you using Firefox 3.6.6? The most common cause of crashes on Mac is the Flash plugin. Are you using the latest version of Flash? You can check at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Do you remember any specific circumstances about when the crash occurred? What sites you were on?

  • HT1451 I have just downloaded the new updated iTunes but have lost all of my 'non purchased' files and when i go to sync my apple devices it tells me that 'these devices are not linked, this will erase the content before sync'. has anyone else found this?

    I have just down loaded the new iTunes and after completion i discovered that all of my imported non-purchased music was missing and my purchased music was now only available from the cloud.
    How do i retrieve the old vertsion of iTunes? I also do not want to use the cloud as i prefer hard drive storage, can i retrive my files from the cloud and de-activate / block it from my windows laptop?
    Help?

    If you have non-itunes music on your computer still, you should have no problem relocating them and reuploading to itunes.
