Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
chown -R
OK, I tried that and it craps out. It sez:
chown: !!! Chk Chik Chick: Invalid argument
(Apparently, "!!! Chk Chik Chick" is the name of a directory.)
eta: Yep, a directory. How can I get chown to work no matter how weird the directory names?
It look like our wireless router is dyingslowly. It sorta stops working and we have to reboot the other router to getthe wireless working again
but I'm not 100% sure of the cause
What program is used to open a file with the extension .mkv?
!!! Chk Chik Chick
Name of a group, no?
Name of a group, no?
Yes. That's the iTunes way. (Plus album names, which become subdirectories under the band name.) So any sort of weird name can cause UNIX-y problems. Years ago I had many problems with managing .mp3s thanks to Björk....
What program is used to open a file with the extension .mkv?
VLC should be able to handle most of them. MKV is a container format for videos, like AVI or MOV.
Thank you!
Did you know that in OS X you can modify ownership and permissions of a folder using the finder, and then apply those changes to all subdirectories?
I just learned that. So my iTunes problem is solved.
You can't do that in XP, etc? I thought it was a standard perq of the GUI file managers.
I thought you could do stuff like that in XP, - I just never noticed I could do it with the OS X Finder. (I tend to always use the command line to control ownership and permissions.)
