I am using UBUNTU 14.04 and I changed it to exactly look like 10.04. Found it much easier than current GUI of 14.04. I want to mount a network server(a cluster UNIVA GRID ENGINE) on my local machine so I went to Places section and clicked Connect to server, enter the server address and then it got connected. Under Places, there is a Network part where my mounted cluster is present and I can see it mounted(GUI). I have 2 question's as of now.
I still haven't mounted it so as to access it from command line. Is this right?
If yes for the question 1 , then I installed cifs and use
sudo mount -t cifs server-name /home/user/Desktop/New -o username=XXX
when i navigate to /home/user/Desktop/New
then if i want to use wget to download something it asks for root permission. Why is it so
