Ubuntu :: Assistance Mount DVD Rom Drive
Sep 15, 2010
I was just trying to open a CD for the first time and when I try to open the DVD-rom drive, it says that it is unable to mount. I saw in some other forums that I should open up a terminal and use "su" to switch over to root. However, when it asks for my password, I put in my password for logon and says Authentication Failure. So I try to put in the Ubuntu disk I have to reload the system, but when I restart the machine, it doesn't read my DVD-rom drive.

I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.

I have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.

I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop
ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

Its annoying to unmount my flash drive twice.. its not a major problem actually but its kinda annoying , its whenever i plug-in my flash drive.. everything works well except when i need to un-mount it.. I usually unmount it twice using right-click of the mouse, then it mounts itself back, so i have to unmount it again.. Is there any way to control this? How do i setup the auto-mount option for USB flash drives?

I was trying to figure out how to get my network drive to mount as a local drive on my computer. This was back on 9.10. Since I've upgraded to 10.04, my boot process halts and tells me (paraphrasing) /shared is not ready to mount. To continue, pres S to skip or M to manually mount the drive.
Well, I have it mounting now through GVFS and I don't need this in my startup anymore. Frankly, it's just annoying that it won't boot into Ubuntu right away. So, what's the startup file I need to edit to remove the attempt to mount the network drive?

I have just installed Xubuntu and suprisingly it did not ask me to create a partition within its installer like Ubuntu does. So now, I am left with 150mb of free space. I want to expand that amount. The problem is, I do not know where it has been installed on. I have a C and an E drive. Currently, the C drive is mounted and the E drive will not mount even if i press the mount button. Does anyone have a solution?

no entries exist in the /dev folder for hdc,cdrom,dvd, or any other drive or drive type than hda. The only other similar device is sg0 which doesn't work either. I have tried every variation of mount I can find with every available drive and drive type and nothing works, but this is the drive I installed FC14 with, and it installed perfectly (except for forgetting where it came from!!)Do I have to install a module or recompile the kernel just to get linux to recognize the drive it came from?

And when I boot my pc with 'Windows', it said : "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" under a blue screen. What can I do to solve this problem?

Well first I'll give you some background info. I have Ubuntu 10.10 x64 8 gigs of ram AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ ATI graphics card I just installed Ubuntu on my second HDD yesterday and am using my BIOS to switch between the OSes (basically just staying in Ubuntu in other words. I have had no issues installing Ubuntu what-so-ever.
Heres where my issues come in. Firstly every time I restart my computer it doesn't allow my bluetooth devices (mouse + keyboard. Both made by mircosoft. Dongle is a microsoft product as well) to connect right away. I have to go into the BT settings and click "Make my computer visible" (or something to that effect). After I do this (all on my wired keyboard and mouse) and i hit a button on my keyboard and mouse they are then able to operate my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Another issue that I am having is that my computer WILL NO LONGER recognize the names nor the demintions of either of my monitors (a visio 42 inch connected via HDMI and a acer 22 inch connected via VGA. both going to an ati graphics card). On top of this my computer will not switch the default monitor from my 42 inch to my 22 inch and this is the larger of the two issues in this section due to the fact that I dont always use my TV -> thats usually when I'm watching movies Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am extremely new to Ubuntu and Linux as a whole. I have greatly enjoyed the learning experiences that I have had in the past two days. Also I just prefer Ubuntu to windows. Its sleek its fast and its fun to tinker with . If it would not be a problem please explain the reasoning behind any solutions. And PLEASE feel free to ask any questions, Im here to help you help me! Just kidding. If i can ever return the favor just let me know!

I have an apache2 web server running on ubuntu server (Ver 2.6.27-7-server) running just a basic Mediawiki site for our group internally. It's just a basic info wiki, and it also hosts a bunch of large .iso files for the group to download if they need them. The latter part is where my latest issue has come up, and I'll try to keep it brief.
We moved all the .iso files to a FTP server that we just got up and running, since the FTP site has goads more space available on it's NAS shared drive than my wiki server whose hard disk is rapidly shrinking with all the .iso files on it. Now, the FTP server is outward facing unlike the wiki server, so obviously it has to have user/password authentication unlike the wiki, which is only internal.
I want to be able to link from the wiki server directly to the files on the FTP server without the user being prompted for a password, while still keeping a decent transfer speed.
So far I've tried 2 methods that have "worked".
First, I mounted a local folder on the wiki to the FTP server using CurlFTPfs by adding a line in the /etc/fstab file.
Code:
curlftpfs#iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19 /var/www/downloads fuse allow_other,uid=www-data,gid=www-data 0 0
This actually works perfectly, I can link to the files and never get prompted for credentials, however the transfer rate is abysmal. under 100kb/s over a gigabit connection, rather than 10MB/s I can get if using an FTP client directly.
The other method I used was enabling the mod_proxy_ftp and simply redirecting to the FTP using the wiki server as a proxy.
In the virtual host file:
Code:
ProxyPass /download ftp://iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19
ProxyPassReverse /download ftp://iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19
This speeds things up a little ~230kb/s however I still get prompted for credentials.
Is there any way possible to get it to work like the CurlFTPfs method but still get decent network xfer rates?

My tech level is intermediate (I know my way around basic bash and such) I'm a somewhat long time ubuntu user (since 6.06) and I've run into a problem I can't really get around.
I have an intel on-board video card as well as an nvidia geforce 8400. I'm using the nvidia (binary) drivers. I'd like to be able to use all three monitors (2 connected to the geforce, 1 to the onboard). I'd like to just say this worked flawlessly on windows so it is not a bios/hardware issue. I'm pretty clueless on how to get this done...
Also, I got a new EMU 1212m sound card and I'd like to know if there is a way other than compiling alsa from source in order to get this sound card working, this is the only option I found when searching the forums.

I have this computer that loads up a magnifying glass sort of application on the right half of the screen during the log in. ie. when choosing accounts and typing in the password screen. So far: I tried turning off visual assistance from start-up. I also uninstalled compiz from the installed software.
Neither have seemed to have disabled it. The Computer is running Ubuntu 10.04.1 with the latest updates.Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I will try to post a screen shot of it when I get time to.

Today is my sort of third day with the OS and I'm still loving it. I've been able to get the hang of quite a few things in Maverick but there is one thing that I really need help with.Back in Win7, I had the very same situation and after a week of messing around I was able to get it working; it was sheer luck, but hey, who cares?
I'm running an ASUS M4A785-M motherboard with an integrated ATI 4200 video card and using a 32" Toshiba TV with HDMI video and sound, which Ubuntu was kind enough to download the proper drivers for all on its own; Win7 didn't. Problem is, the best resolution I can use is 1920x1080, but at that point some of the text looks just too small, so I use the 1776x1000 resolution instead. Still, the grand majority of websites don't fill the browser. I have to manually zoom in each time so they can look properly. I know that after a week of tinkering in Win7 I got it working just fine without the need to zoom in on pages. I can't remember for the life of me how I did it and I had accidentally formatted the entire HDD once and all those settings got lost.Lower resolutions make it worse too. On some of them, the actual computer window won't even fill the TV unless I change certain settings, and then it still looks horrible because everything gets stretched out sideways and gets squashed and even if the PC screen doesn't fill the whole tv, it overcasts itself in the middle; as if I was using a much smaller monitor and it was overcasting.

I am pretty new to Ubuntu 10.10 and have been unable to successfully print to a HP Designjet 5000 42inch non Postscript printer that uses hpgl/2. I have installed other types of printers with no problem but this one has me beat so far. I will primarily want to print banners from Inkscape that will average 3 x 12 feet in size, and at least 150 dpi, so will need to be able to define custom size sheets. Currently I develop a project in Inkscape then print to file as a pdf, open the pdf from a windows xp machine on the same network with Adobe Reader and print to the Designjet from Adobe. This worked fine until I upgraded Adobe Reader to 10.01, it won't print very large files to the Designjet, iether. It would be very nice if I could print directly from Inkscape in Ubuntu to the Designjet printer. I do not print from Inkscape in Windows XP because the large files put both the program and operation system into a permanent non responsive state if they do not crash outright. I am able to print large files on the XP machine from Corel Draw 12 with no problem, but have not been able to get Corel Draw to accept any of the svg files that Inkscape produces.

I have a small home network with a router to the outside world and an ubuntu server through which traffic passes first.My ISP limits my download usage during the day, which traditionally has not been an issue, but now the children come in from school, boot up the internet and up goes my usage!Ideally I would like to be able to restrict them to IM and maybe certain specified URLs (I think the latter probably needs to use Squid though?). Once the download limits are lifted, I would like my iptables to allow HTTP, etc, but pretty much block most other things.
I have two sets of iptables currently to approach this issue, with a cron job that runs to swap between one and the other.Chains run in order, so if rule A says allow x, and rule B says drop all, then X should still be allowed. However, try as I may, this is not what happens in practice. I have even tried changing the overall order from ALLOW to DROP in FORWARD and then approach from the other angle. That didn't work either. *IS* it actually possible to block all but http / https and IM? These are myrules:
Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.4 on Sat Jan 9 19:15:49 2010
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [583:45175]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [694:60887]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [143:18642]

extremely new to computing, learned about linux in computer class and wanted to try it out. Got a copy of live usb creator, worked fine. Got fedora 10 then 9 on my 8Gb stick. I am getting the "Could not find Kernal image: linux" error. I have looked all over and have found the same line of code:
/isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img. I enter this and get nothing. I review the config file and while I think it is in order, i must admit that i am woefully ignorant of much of what i see there.
The only difference in my config file from the fix is that vmlinz is listed as vmlinuz0, the same with the initrd.img. (initrd0.img) I am running an amd 64 x2 3800 processor, with a G of ram. I have Xp installed and nvidia gforce 6150 on board graphics. ( i have read that this may be a problem)

My cousin needs some help with his computer (I know a bit more about MS then Linux at this point). He has VISTA HOME EDITION, Which as far as the internet tells me ... cannot do RA without a third party software. But he says he found it and sent the invite to my email. I have already download rdesk (I think that's what I want) so I can initiate a RA from terminal with IP or server URL, But everytime I try to access his through IP it says:
Code:
me@linux:$ rdesk ip.cous.comp.here
!!--'DISPLAY FAILED TO LAUNCH'
me@linux:$
I was going to also look at getting tightVNC, but am not 100% sure it does what I want...
Other then this I have no idea what to do. I have never done remote with a Linux and a MS system ...
(By the way, I am running Dreamlinux which is Debian based. It is the latest -far as I know- which is 3.5 built on Lenny stable. My desktop session is Xfce, but I can enable KDE or GNOME for applications that may need it. My cousin and I are 100 miles apart at the moment so this seems to be our only option.

I have a folder of MP3s, where some have <artist>- <song> and others have <artist> - <song>. I wanted to make all of them say <artist> - <song>
The command that works for me was
for i in *[a-Z]-*; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed 's/-/ -/g'`"; done
but if I -hadn't- used ls with my parameters to filter out the valid results, how would I have done this with sed? I got close with:
ls | sed -e 's/(.*)[a-Z]-(.*)/1 - 2/'
but with the above I lose the [a-Z] character that I used to match with (and I need to keep that).

We're migrating from Tomcat on Linux to Glassfish on Windows and I'm trying to make it easier to find the servlets that we don't currently have implicitly mapped in the Tomcat web.xml files for contexts. What I've done is copy all our contexts to a temp directory and written a script so that I can loop through each context, find the files that are not mapped inside a package then check if the java file is a servlet or not. From there I store each java file that matches, strip off the extension and then search in the context web.xml for a match then output to the screen.
The problem that I'm running into is that I know there are class files that should be returned and yet they are not being displayed. I'm not a Linux guy, so I'm just looking for a little help to see if I'm missing something obvious. I've attached the code for the script below.
Code:
# for all contexts
for context in `ls "/var/tomcat/temp/script/" | grep -v servletmap.sh`
do
echo $context
# for all java files without a package

I have installed Fedora 15 on my Desktop. My desktop is a 64-bit AMD Athlon Processor. I'm having some problem installing Adobe flash player in my Desktop. due to this I'm unable to view any ..... videos.
I went to the website get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ site and there is a note that 64-bit users: Download a preview release of Flash Player with native support for 64-bit Linux from Adobe Labs. On following this link it redirected me to [URL]...10_square.html where I could find a tar.gz file Download plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.1 MB) I tried untarring this file but could not find configure, read me files with installation steps.
Has any one installed Adobe flash player on Fedora 15 64 bit? if so can you please point me to the rpm? or the file which has the proper installation procedure. I'm a new bie to linux. so would prefer a rpm over tar.gz files.
