unfortunately my second HDD... which is formatted ex2 (accident... was supposed to be 4) but it isn't visible to mount...
I already lost all of my vids from it changing from nfts and i don't really want to loose all my mp3 and samples.
I am using Fedora 10 and when I first installed my machine, I had a DHCP assigned address to my network card. Later on I decided that I wanted to give my machine more of a server role, so I switched to static IP using the system-config-network utility. What happened after that was that I did change the IP address and routing information, but DNS information gets lost at every reboot, so I need to type it back again.

When I add an external device it is automatically mounted by Fedora to /media. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the default mount directory to something else (like /mnt) ?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 TB hard drive in an external USB caddy that I use for backups. The drive gets automatically mounted when connected to F13, which is great, and the default mount options it uses are:Code:rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisksHowever, I want to add an extra option or two but I don't know where I can do this. Does anyone know where I can add mount options onto the default set?

This is great but I would like to change the mount point to just "/media/ipod/" as it easier to use with gnupod (command driven ipod access oh yes!!) I've had a look around and I know how to mount devices but I'm at a lose as to how things in fedora are automatically mounted... I use gnome so from what I've read hal, dbus, and udev yeah? but I'm not sure what configuration files need to be changed. At the moment I'm just wanting to change the ipods mount point but I would like know more so any technical how-to or articles, or things to look at (I'm thinking X), to understand auto mounting would be nice too.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using truecrypt to mount a partition on my computer for a few months now. Yesterday I tried to access it and it failed, with the following error:" mount: you must specify the filesystem type "
When creating the partition, the filesystem type was set to ext2. Apart from yesterday, I have not accessed this partition for a number of days now, and have done nothing to the operating in system in the ways of changing settings and such for a good week.
I have a problem with one of my partitions, that used to be automounted trough fstab, before my upgrade to Lucid.
The partitions is used for storing all things related to virtualization. It's purpose is not relevant to the error, I think.
The affected part of the fstab file looks as follows:
Code:
# backuppartition on sdb
UUID=b623c9a2-8d4a-4399-be07-b8b1c74d23fd /backup ext4 defaults 1 3
# Virtualization Partition
[Code].....
P.S. I tried editing the fstab for the virtual parition, to
UUID=a56a9445-d375-45b4-abb5-d3512da0a3e6 /home/***/virtual ext4 defaults,auto 1 3
Earlier i had windows 7 in my hard disk, somehow it got corrupted. Over that i installed ubuntu linux 10.04. I am having a live CD, before installation during the live mode, i was able to see all the NTFS data (windows 7) available in my hard disk. Then i installed Ubuntu 10.04 on the same hard disc. Now under the menu places->Network->windows network. When i double click on this icon, Linux is throwing an error "Unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server" and not showing any files. Am having 320GB capacity hard disk. I tried using Getparted to find NTFS partitions, but i could see only the following, where NTFS is missing

Coming from non linux bod - but to create mount points on nas that are visible do we have to put entries in both fstab and rc.local?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ntfs hard drive (my "C" drive in Windows) and it has some very important data (baby pictures) on it. The drive is, for some reason, very fail-prone. Last time it went out, I used ubuntu to make a windows disk (I have the key, nothing illegal!) and it went to the error fixing part or what have you and fixed it all up. That was a few days ago, and I was working on backing up the picturs but hadn't finished, and it failed again. Now I can't get it to fix the current windows installation, even though it's doing the same thing (making a clicking noise and stalling on boot before eventually giving up and booting to the ubuntu "d" drive.), it will only take me to the part about installing a new copy of windows, which I don't want to do because that would wipe the drive.
So my next idea was to try and get at the pictures through ubuntu, but when I use sudo fdisk -l, it only shows me my ubuntu hard drive.. Is there anything I can do to find and mount the other drive? I really can't afford to take it in to a professional for data recovery, and I've had them charge me an arm and a leg and do nothing but wipe my drive in the past, so I want to do everything I can to try and get my pictures back myself.
Since I installed 11.3 I have noticed the /srv and /local mount points are empty! I also can no longer see my hard drives that have no mount points. I couldn't mount any hot plug media either but now have that fixed. I won't go into the mess I have with my video card and getting the x server started....
I did have Xampp installed to /srv/www but don't even know where it is now!

I had no problems with this in 11.1 until a month ago when I updated and it seemed to keep losing the permissions for these drives as once I accessed them via Dolphin they would be accessible. Now they are not even visible in a file manager!
I am using Suse 10 sp2. By running ifconfig I am changing the mac address. Everything is happening successfully, but this is adapter losing the network connection. Even when I give a static IP. I am not able to ping any other IP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two computers running Ubuntu 9.10, both have one shared folder. These were set up via Nautilus.
On computer 1 I can see and use the shared folder of computer 2 just fine.
On computer 2 I can NOT see the shared folder of computer 1 anymore since recently. I has worked in the past.
Some more information: the name of computer 1 is "daniel", the share name is "gedeeld". So the address of the shared folder of computer 1 would be smb://daniel/gedeeld/
Opening this address in Nautilus works fine on computer 1 (that shares the folder), but results in an error on computer 2.
Error: failed to mount Windows share. Please select another viewer and try again.

This is my first time using Ubuntu (though I've been interested in it for about a year). I decided to dual-boot my Acer AspireOne netbook running Windows 7 starter with Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook version. I am in the process of looking through all of the information in terms of getting use to the system, but right now I am trying to figure out how to access my files on the Windows half of the computer. I've been following the instructions here: [URL] but I am unable to get NFTS configuration to run, so I moved onto PySDM which appeared to work just fine except now when I boot up it gives me the error: "Unable to mount media/sda3" Press S to skip mounting process or M for manual recovery
Since I am still very much a newbie when it comes to terminal commands, I stayed away from the manual recovery and pressing S just puts me back into the welcome screen so I can log in. I've been searching the forums and I can't find much on it. Maybe I am missing a really important factor here? Also, in some version of the instructions, the other partitions are supposed to become viewable once mounted. I went into looking through the files using PySDM, but what I saw was mostly greyed out files...
dell inspiron 1501. super old laptop was running horribly so I installed ubuntu on the entire 80gb harddrive. I have windows 7 pro 32 bit on a usb and wanna install. I tried and it said windows 7 could not install on disk 0 and I need a nfts partition. I installed gparted but can't figure out how to do it. I want 40gb for windows 7. do I create a partition table? it says my entire drive will be formatted if I do that and I don't wanna lose ubuntu.
edit: by the way, I'm borderline retarded when it comes to computers so I need super noob friendly advice.
1. I use exclusively smplayer and vlc for video playing
2. Suddenly vlc can't play vids anymore. But if u pull `top` or whatever process viewer it shows that its running behind the scene. but acted like didn't even start.
3. Okay, vlc misbehaving, smplayer is well unpredictable. It runs and plays with audio with the video screen being transparent, completely! I mean the video place just shows through to the desktop or whatever window is behind it.
4. I am using Gnome, nvidia card, been using these apps not until recent they get buggy and having issues. And oh yeah, codecs are in, I install them all and double checked.
5. I am suspecting compiz? Or Metacity compositing feature?
I am liking Opensuse, but have a problem when using my NFTS partitions (dual boot so docs on this partition). I always have to enter a password which annoys me to no end. Most distributions do this, in fact only for Mandriva have I been able to find out how to do this without a password. Is it possible with Opensuse?

View 1 Replies View RelatedShort version: How do I reformat an external hard-drive (read-only, NFTS) so that I can rw to it.
Long version: I had a self-built Ubuntu desktop that is now dead. I have pulled out the hard-drives and have bought one of the connector's to convert the SATA cable to USB so I can put the data on my Mac. Unfortunately, my Mac is not able to read the hard-drive for some reason... So, I've decided to boot my old Ubuntu laptop to pull the files from the SATA drive to an external drive then hopefully connect that external drive to transfer the files to the Mac. The external drive is currently formatted as NFTS and I'm unable to reformat it with gparted--I'm guessing that's because it's read-only mode...?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBought an Ipod Touch 4th Gen today, and I can't get Ubuntu 10.04 to talk to it in a meaningful way. So far I've tried dling Mediamonkey and running it on Wine - no good. I successfully installed the latest itunes and can run it with Wine, but the ipod doesn't show up on the devices menu on the left. I can see an Ipod touch icon on my desktop and in nautilus, and I can drag files into the ipod via nautilus, but they don't show up on the ipod's music menu. There's an option to open the ipod w/ Rhythmbox, but when I do, it isn't there (in rhythmbox). I'd rather not resort to jailbreaking. I guess I wouldn't mind using virtualbox, but I don't have a copy of XP handy. Mediachest looks like garbage to me, and I don't know how to work it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried installing NFTS Configuration Tool to auto-mount several partitions at startup, but the Configuration Tool isn't working. I've entered the terminal line to update it, but it still won't even start.
What happens is when I click on NFTS Configuration Tool under System - Administration, I'll get the prompt to enter my Administrative password. I enter it and click Ok, but then it just disappears. If I try running the Tool again, I see a window come up at the bottom of my screen titled 'System Administrative' for about half a second then disappear. If I restart or suspend and try again, I still get the same nagging problem.

I just removed ubuntu and installed kubuntu, just for something different. i had my home and / folders partitioned separately for ease of upgrade, now during the update process i forgot to make sure the home directory would mount the right partition. for fear of loosing data, so my question is, is there any way of changing the mount point of the drive one the OS is installed.
