markwolfe Veteran Posted April 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2006 I use Fedora, and dealt with the same thing, as I hated to praface some of the commands with the /sbin/ I think I added an echo statement to append /sbin/ to my current $PATH in a script for my user login. It was long ago, and I don't recall which one, exactly. As for a "Linux Device Manager", are you asking about a Gnome Device Manager? A KDE Device Manager? The "Linux" ones (closest to the kernel) are all command line. The KDE and Gnome equivalents just make the same call, and put it into a GUI. EDIT: Cenelerra looks very GUI-ish from what I saw on their website. But I do know that some tools (I have used dvgrab to capture the firewire video stream from my digital video camera in the past) are commandline. I don't need a GUI to capture a video stream, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiv31 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I found the GUI for it... oops... GNOME is what I'm using for anyone with suggestiong to device manager. Anyone know how to add things to the path directory? Where is the "program files" directory? Is it /usr/bin/ ? How about disk degragmenting?

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2006 To add to $PATH, try this: export PATH=$PATH:/sbin To see if it has been changed, do an echo $PATH and it should be there at the end "Program Files" and other structural differences: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=260796 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiv31 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I know how to add it manually, thanks though... I want to run it as a script during bootup so I don't have to do it evertime.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted April 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think you can add that line to your .bashrc file in your home directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2006 sdd has one partition, sdd1, that is NTFS Should allow access fine. Can you mount and access sdc1? Can you post the mount command used, and the error(s) it may post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
