Hardware :: Accessing Second Drive Under Meerkat
Oct 15, 2010
I've installed Ubuntu Meerkat on a new build that has two HD's. The installation process saw and setup the first drive but seemed to ignore the second. Using the disk utility under Administration, I formatted and then partitioned the second drive. I then added a line to the fstab.
The disk usage utility under Applications-Accessories sees the increased space, however I don't know how to access it.Under previous versions of Ubuntu, in this situation all of the hard drives would be visible under Computer and Nautilus but they're not.Any suggestions as to how I can access that second drive?

I have installed Slackware 9.0 on VirtualBox and I've never used it (slackware) before. How do I access a CD/DVD inserted in my laptop through the KDE?

I know it is not advisable to write to a NTFS drive with linux. Though I'm using Knoppix and Fedora 11, is it safe to access my video and music files from linux, while I am working under them or would it be best to use external media to get them.

I have set up VNC on my Centos5 Server via the instructions here:
[URL]
I am able to log in via VNC through a browser (on my Window laptop), however when I try to access my USB hard drive on the Centos Server, it says:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied
Does anyone know of any step by step instructions so that I can be able to access my USB Hard drive?
I have found a few posts on the internet about this, however the fixes are either vague/hard to understand etc?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my USB stick, and it boots fine. I want to be able to use the PC's hard drive, though, for storage of my files. My PC has WinXP on it and I dont want to lose it either. Is there any way by which I can mount the hard drive whenever I boot using the USB stick so that I can use it for storage?

i somehow managed to corrupt ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop and subsequently, i loaded a fresh version of ubuntu 10.10 on another partition. i want to access the data in the home folder of the other (previous) partition, but sudo nautilus gives me root privileges only in the current "filesystem" and not on the home folder of the other partition.
although i've been using ubuntu for some time now, but i am largely ignorant about most of the terminal commands.

I'd like to setup a drive on my Ubuntu Server (10.04.2 LTS) so two laptops running Windows 7 can read/write to it via the local network.
Can Windows read/write to ext2/3/4, or do I need to format the drive as NTFS?

I have a secondary drive on my new RedHat Linux computer and I want to make it permanently accessible from the RedHat system that is now running on the computer.
It is an old Windows NTFS drive that was a secondary drive when this was a Windows machine.
What do I need to do to, and how do I do it:
1) Format it into a format that Linux uses.
2) After it is formatted correctly, permanently mount it so it will always be accessible
3) After it is successfully formatted and mounted, how do I access it? (For example, to add a new ascii text file to it via 'cp')

I don't know why, but all of a sudden when I plug in a Corsair flash drive with a fat32 files system, it registers on the notifier, but when I try to open it in Dolphin, Dolphin opens in the /home/documents folder. Ditto when I try it as root. Media won't open to anything, and when I click on the Corsair listing in the folders on the left side of Dolphin, I get the error message: unknown file system 'vfat'. I have used this drive for over a year with no previous problems, and can access it in 11.3 on my laptop, so I suspect that a setting or something in my system has changed.

I'm dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 and win7. I have an NTFS partition on my disk and whenever i want to browse files on that partition I'm required to enter my password. my problem is that my music folder is located on that partition, and as a result, whenever I open rhythmbox, it cant access the files on that partition and begins to remove them from the library. in order to prevent this i must browse to that partition manually and enter my password upon request, prior to opening rhythmbox.
on a side note - shouldn't the spell checker on the Ubuntu forums recognize "Ubuntu" as a legit word ?

I have an MSI Wind with Windows, Ubuntu Netbook Remix and another Ubuntu derivative installed on my 80gb drive. I recently acquired a 160gb drive, which I plan to put into the Wind. I cloned the 80gb drive, which left me with an identical configuration, plus 80gb of unallocated free space. The problem is that I already have 4 primary partitions; the last of them (adjacent to the free space) is divided up into 4 extended partitions. I tried to make the free space available in gparted, but it won't let me create a new partition because I already have 4 primaries. Is there some way I can get this into the last primary partition? I tried expanding the size of the extended partitions in the 4th primary partition, but gparted won't let me do this.

I have a network where several machines are connected through a switch. I'd like all machines to be able to read/write to/from the hard drives of the other machines. for example:
machine1 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
machine2 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
etc etc...
all of this reading/writing will be done through the terminal, and programatically. rather than SSHing into a machine to read/write files from it, I'd be happy to set up some 'conventions' on how to access hard drives of various machines. for example:
'hdd1' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.1).
'hdd2' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.2).
'hdd3' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.3).
etc etc...
this way, when I want to read/write a file, its PATH will be something like ~/hdd1/myfile.txt; ~/hdd2/anotherfile.txt;

I am working on a computer that the hard drive crashed. Inititially they had a virus, reloaded windows, and had the computer up and running. When downloading software it crashed and will not boot. I have tried all the numerous routine fixes with no success including using the repair discs. The repair discs no longer work and they are unable to get a second set. As a last resort I am able to access the hard drive when booting from Knoppix from a CD. There are a couple things I would like to try from Knoppix, but do not know if it is possible. First, Is it possible to load the boot files from knoppix? Second, can you roll back the drivers from knoppix?

At first I thought it was the daily cron jobs, but it's been at it for like 3 or 4 hours. It's driving me crazy locking up my system. I suppose I should get off the computer anyway, no real reason to be on for so long.
The only things that look weird in system monitor is kwin, virtuoso-t and X seems to be higher CPU usage than it should. And CPU usage is 20-50% when I'm not doing anything. It was indexing my files.

How I can access my drive?

when I load into Ubuntu 11.04 from my USB drive, why can't I access the files on my internal hard drive? I mount the drive but I cannot see any of the music, videos or documents contained on that drive (which is also an Ubuntu 11.04 drive). I was wondering so I could copy those files onto my external hard drive and reinstall since my Ubuntu crashed.

I would like to access my NSA-220 Plus through the Internet without having computer turned on. I tried to set it up as a FTP server but I was not successful. I tried few tutorials but all allow me to access NSA-220 Plus only within my home network which is not what I want. Also I tried user manual which does not really tell you how to do this.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, and i recently purchased an tandberg LTO-4 SAS tape drive. I want to access it and backup data on it. Do I simply just connect plug it into the server,and I should be able to backup/transfer data to the tape drive? Or are there intermediate steps before I can do that. Here are some results from commands that I have typed:

ls /dev/tape/

I'm trying to implement laptop_mode (to put disk to sleep when not in use), but something keeps waking it up. 'TOP' really doesn't do the trick.
This is apparently a known problem. Has to do with disk idling not implemented correctly.

I cloned one of my hard drives to another, using Acronis True Image Home 2011.In the process, of course, fstab got copied verbatim from old to new.I then, using a livecd on a flash drive, mounted the new drive, went into fstab and rewrote the UUID's, using the numbers I'd gotten previously by doing sudo blkid.Now, the new drive had the UUID's revealed by that command.Then, I used boot-repair, from yannubuntu, to make that drive bootable, since it wasn't after the cloning and after the fstab rewrite.The drive is bootable, and it's mountable from a flash drive, or from the old drive.
I can access files either way.the fstab file on the new drive still has the old numbers, yet when I ran boot-repair, it apparently changed the UUID's for sectors 1 and 5 on the new drive.fstab seems to be irrelevant at this point, yet everything I read about it indicates that it is not only relevant, but necessary.I don't understand how I can be accessing the drive when the fstab contains UUID's that are no longer pertinent to any hardware on my system.

The hard drive is accessed every few seconds with OpenSUSE and when it is there is a click sound when it is first accessed. I have other distros which dont make the clicking sound when they access the hard drive. I need to prevent opensuse from making the click sound when it does whatever it's doing. Im not even sure what it's doing or what settings to change, and most importantly how do i make it not click? Maybe i could copy settings over from another distro if i knew which settings to replace.

I am noticing problems accessing the firewall gui and mounting the second hard drive in my PC running Fedora 13. This is only when I am accessing the machine with VNC. If I am sitting in front of the physical machine, I have no problems at all. I would like VNC to behave more like I am sitting in front of the computer. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Decided to try Meerkat. Looks great from the USB. With Lucid installed on Dell Optiplex with Windows XP - worked out ok.Installed Maverick Meerkat from USB and now no OS at all. I only get a prompt to re-try booting or to enter set-up.I installed Meerkat to the existing Lucid partitions, a / and /home partition, but I'm not even getting as far as grub-menu at boot.In the first attempt the installer installed grub to sda, (the hdd), and that didn't work, so I tried re-installing with a separate /boot, (sda7), partition, and still no love.
One of the problems is that on the Dell there is a /dell utility partition at the beginning of the disk, so I can't really move that to put a /boot partition at the beginning.Oddly, Lucid had no such problem. Lucid installed and recognised Windows XP, but when I try the same install procedure with Meerkat I draw a blank.

I made the mistake of downloading a couple of tunes from Ubuntu One, with the result that my credit union put a hold on my credit card because of "strange traffic" with a site in England. I've got that straightened out, but it didn't improve my opinion of Ubuntu One -- which seems to me to be about as proactive as a pack of hyenas at getting its fangs into various aspects of my file system, including absurd "synchronization" with "the cloud" which "at my level" is "Still Free." The synchronization notice also takes up valuable real estate in my file system windows, and should not be there without being invited.
Moreover, Ubuntu One AUTOMATICALLY begins synchronizing SOMETHING without being bidden if I merely open System -> Preferences -> Ubuntu One! I despise this kind of paternalistic crap, and want it OFF my system! Ubuntu One, IMHO, is a beachhead on my bank account and I want to remove it ENTIRELY from my system. My question is, is it safe to remove ALL references to Ubuntu One in the Synaptic Package Manager?If not, how do I disable it COMPLETELY, so that it will never again be activated?I have already cancelled my subscription at the website. I want the Ubuntu One code on my Dell Inspiron 1525 to vanish, preferably without disabling Meerkat further.

I just installed MeerKat on a Compaq Presario 2100US with 1 gig of RAM. How do I set the time correctly? I checked the Compaq set up screen and time is correct there. The install asked for my time zone. I'm in Seattle area so chose Vancouver. Time now showing in systray is four hours off but can't find any way to re-set it?

Ibus is very familiar to some users. And they find only one way to use Ibus as their keyboard layout. But its not possible to use ibus on Maverick Meerkat by default. you need to follow some instruction to do that. Here I am telling how I have done this...
Go to System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager (you have to give your password) type " ibus-m17 " on search box. then just install the one appears. After installation the package, just close the synaptic. Now you are done to use Ibus.
Now go to System>Administration>Language Support (it may ask you to install the Language support, just click on the "Remind me later") Then select ' ibus ' from the "Keyboard input method system" under the Language tab.
Then close the window and restart the PC.
Thats the work I have done to get the iBus on Maverick Meerkat.
