Ubuntu :: Conky Display All Mounted Drives

Sep 18, 2010

So I'm running Fluxbox as my window manager in Xubuntu. I use ivman to automatically mount any usb devices.Now I was wondering if it's possible to have conky display all mounted drives and some information about them.I saw you can do {$ifmounted /media/blah} but this would assume I have a set number of devices preconfigured in fstab. It doesn't account for some random guy's flash drive, or a buddy's smartphone.

I know mount | grep sd outputs a list of mounted drives. So then could I somehow format that output and pass it to conky? Or do you guys have any more clever ideas on how I could accomplish this?

Ubuntu :: How To Retain Mounted Drives In 9.10

Jan 25, 2010

On my computer I have one IDE drive that is my boot drive and a mirrored SATA raid set. When I login as "root" and mount the SATA volume it's always there. When I logout or shutdown if I login as root it's always mounted. I want to do the same thing for my own user ID. I did a search on having volumes mounted when I boot but they seem related to older versions of Ubuntu. It almost seems like a permissions problem since the "root" ID mounts the volume when I boot and my user ID does not.

Ubuntu :: Mounted Drives (USB) At Shutdown

Mar 15, 2010

OK got a couple of external USB hard drives and my mp3 player that are fairly often connected to my laptop. When updating the files on my mp3 player the other day I noticed something that seemed weird.After deletion of files there is same amount on the disk. After ejecting and reinserting things are still the same. To have the files correctly updated I have to Unmount the drive, then I see it flushing the .Trashes folder and actually freeing space on the drive.

Now the same thing seems to happen at Shutdown of the PC, files are not being updated and are still being seen by the mp3 player/hard drive. Think new files are being seen but old one not removed but not 100% sure.Is there anything I can do to force Ubuntu to correctly Unmount all drive at Shutdown so I don't have to do each one manually first? Or is there something else I am missing?

Ubuntu :: No Privileges For Mounted Drives

Apr 29, 2011

When I mount a drive to my computer (USB) it gives permission only to root. I have tried changing permissions using chown -R but this has not worked. I am not able to create folders on the drive or edit anything in any way. Is there a way for me to change the permissions or get into the folder as root?

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Mounted Drives On Desktop?

Jul 27, 2010

I have installed Xubuntu on an old laptop which has a floppy disk.

On the desktop where mounted drives will normally appear, it constantly shows the floppy disk on the desktop even though there is not floppy inside, so I have disabled the desktop from showing mounted drives, however now anything else like a CD or USB drive will not show up on the desktop. Is there a way to choose what types of devices are shown on the desktop?

I have considered disabling the floppy from the BIOS(assuming that is possible), but I would rather not go down that road just yet.

Ubuntu :: Mounted Drives Invisible In Terminal AND Nautilus

Jan 27, 2010

I am using Karmic Koala and not finding uniform behavior regarding internal hard drive mounts. I have placed commands in fstab to mount partitions at boot. One a separate hard drive and the other a separate partition on the boot drive that I set up during OS installation. After boot, GParted shows both of these partitions mounted on the right points (in my case, /dd and /opt). Both the mount points have rw permissions for all. But neither "ls -l" in the terminal nor nautilus shows the drives. They are evidently invisible.I searched the net for hours looking for an answer to this and couldn't find it. Hope someone knows why this is going on.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Remove Mounted Drives From Launcher

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04In 10.10, Nautilus showed all my drives/partitions automatically. The same goes for 11.04, but... all the drives/partitions are also shown in the launcher.Because it gets a bit crowded on the left side, I want to get rid of those drive-icons.I can only open them, not remove them from the launcher, except my external drive (safely remove), but than it also disappears from Nautilus Is there any (easy) way to remove those drives?

Software :: Display External IP Address In Conky?

Nov 27, 2010

I am putting together a Conky config file by a sort of 'smash and grab' approach borrowing things from various configs I've seen around the web that do stuff I like. I have reached a stumbling block as I want to display my external IP, I have used

Code:

${addrs eth0}

to display the IP on my LAN and guessed I would just need to substitute 'eth0' with something else to get the external IP?? I have tried the mac address of my primary router to no avail, this just displays '0.0.0.0' My current config looks like:-

Code:

# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background yes
#font
use_xft yes

Ubuntu :: How To Make 2 Mounted Drives Show As A Single Folder

I have roughly 5Tb of movies spread out on 6 drives in my system. I'd like to create a folder that will display the contents of certain folders without actually moving the data. For example, I have 3 drives with /HDMovies and 3 with /SDMovies. How do I create two new folders /HDMovies and /SDMovies and have the data from the drives be collected?

Ubuntu Servers :: Mounted External Drives Keep Changing Designation

Mar 7, 2010

I have a headless 8.04 server with 2 USB drives attached. I'm trying to move everything off the 1.5TB drive onto a few 300GB drives (so I can then use LVM on the 1.5TB drive and move everything back onto LVs.)I check the drives using 'fdisk -l'. They show up as sdc1 and sdd1. I mount them and start a cp operation.When I run fdisk again, the drives are no longer sdc1 and sdd1. Now they are sde1 and sdf1 (and of course, they are no longer mounted.

What could be causing this and how do I fix it?I need to fix this ASAP because the 1.5 TB drive seems to be going bad. Every few seconds I hear a big "click" as though the head arms are smacking against a stop. (This is the 2nd brand new 1.5TB drive that has started doing this!)

Ubuntu :: Change Previously Generated Names For Mounted Drives?

Sep 24, 2010

Basically I have changed the default mount names for my windows partitions in Ubuntu. They were /media/data, /media/data_,/media/system reserved, etc

They are now /media/C,D,E,F

I have rebooted etc after the changes and when I look in Gnome places or in Nautilis the OLD names still show up.

HOWEVER when I run Nautilis as the root user all the CORRECT NEW names appear.

ALSO - if I create a BRAND NEW user account and login as that all the OLD names show up?

So this is something to do with ROOT access or whatever that is not allowing the names to be updated somehow?!?!?

As I use these disks in windows (obviously) I DONT want to change their labels. and basically this SHOULDN'T be the solution everyone is suggesting!

Root can generate the new names automatically based on the mount point in FSTAB why can't other users - and HOW to do do it MANUALLY?

OpenSUSE :: Mounted Hard Drives - Root ?
