Hey, just joined the forums. It's great. Nice, simple and helpful community. I'll enjoy and come here often.

Btw, I'm still running the original Pinguy OS installation (10.04). I'll update to Pinguy OS 10.10 when it's stable.

Well, I think I found my problem. I just needed to open Grsync as root in the terminal. Then I ran the simulation and only got one error, but everything seems to have synced with my wife's account's user settings. Although when I checked Properties>Permissions on some of her files it said I was the owner. That doesn't seem right.
So I did 'sudo chown -R user:group /home/user' for her home directory. I hope I didn't screw something up.

Hello all.  I am brand new here (just installed 20 minutes ago).  So far, I love it.  Please excuse me if this is a stupid question but, how do you turn off the automatic wallpaper app?  Sorry, it has been a long day and I guess I am brain-fried.  Any help here would be appreciated as I have not been able to figure this out.

Thanks,

Kevin

I figured it out.

And whether I mark 'preserve permissions' and 'preserve owner' or not, I still get the errors.

On Topic / Question about back-ups
« Last post by utherpendragonfly on October 01, 2010, 07:40:35 pm »
I have a really simple question: How do I make a backup of /home directory which includes my administrator account and one other user account without getting permissions errors for the other user account? I've spent hours searching and have not found an intelligible answer.

With Linux Mint I've been using Grsync to make a backup of /home to an external HD. For a single user it works great. But because I have a second user account, there are always permissions errors from the other user account (my wife's) and I've had to manually open her .mozilla directory by right-clicking and doing 'open as root' so I can copy her Firefox and e-mail settings to the backup. But with Pinguy OS there is no option to 'open as root', only 'open as administrator' which will not give me permission to copy her information.
Does anyone know if there's a way I can 'open as root' without having to us the CLI to 'sudo chown' to copy her files, and then have to change permissions back to my wife's account again.
Or better, how can I use Grsync  to do this without errors?
Or would Deja Dup work better?

Is it showing on top of your windows or something? It's not supposed to be in the way.

Try right click and disabling networking and then enable networking.
It worked for me and I've had no issues since.

The disc check Windows runs is because you resized it's hardrive.

Is it Windows or Grub that is telling you "no module found"? Can you boot into Windows and/or Pinguy at the moment?

~Jeff

Grub was telling me no module found. I ended up formatting the harddrive (After booting linux from a flash drive and backing up all my files) and just installing Pinguy OS.  Everything is working better on the full install then it was on the partial install I did previously. My kudos to pinguy, this is amazing and I've had four of my friends start using it as well.
