Two quick problems..

[BNU-FaNtAsMa]

1) I'm having trouble setting the harddrive permissions.. I've seen other posts about it, but I couldn't figure it out. I want to make it so that both of my partitions (hda1 and hda3) are always read/write for everyone.

2) After about 10-15 minutes of being on, my sound just dies.. The only thing that works is the Line In.. no system beeps, media files, gaim sounds, etc work..

Thanks for any help.

GNU-FaNtAsMa:

You need to give us more information to work with, such as:

1. post the /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3 lines from your /etc/fstab file
2. what sound modules are loaded? Post the output of lsmod
3. What audio messages appear in dmesg and /var/log/messages?

As it stands, your questions are too vague to answer.

How do I do the Ismod thing? Sorry, I'm a newb to linux yet. What do I open the messages and dmesg files with?
:EDIT: figured out dmesg, but it says access denied when I try to open the messages file.. even in the root shell.

Your /dev/hda1 partition is root, so it should not be read write for everyone. You can set the other partition to read/write for all by first mounting it and then setting the permissions:

bash# mount /mnt/hda1
bash# cd /mnt/hda1
bash# chmod -R a=rw

I have never used that sound module so can't help you with that.
