Ubuntu Installation :: Files From Hdd Missing \ Files That Were Located On C(vista) Cant Access Any Of The E Ones?
Mar 7, 2011
I changed to wubi last night, i decided to go that way cause i was informed it was a safe way to try giving it a try for linux and ubuntu without any special effort needed to be payed and easily deleted if i am not pleased.Thankfully i am pretty satisfied with the results, i pretty much dealt with most of the issues i have faced so far successfully and i am running it ok beside one important thing.See i am using my laptop, which has a hdd of 250GB.On my Vista there are 2 different hdd C+E by default, they separated my hdd.So while i have windows on C and E is pretty much used for my additional data(see movies, music etc) when i installed wubi i installed it on E, thought it would be better and it had more space.
Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.
My new HP mini running Ubuntu sees my HP notebook running Vista,my Compaq desktop running Vista, and my HP desktop running XP as computers belonging to my workgroup, but I can only access my files on the XP machine. The mini and the notebook are wireless and the desktops connect to the router by cable.
All of the computers connect through the router to the DSL modem, and each of them connect to the HP wireless printer. None of the other computers see my mini as belonging to my workgroup, specifically including my XP computer. Figure that it is likely normal that I cannot with my mini open files that I find on my XP, but have to copy and paste them to my mini or one of the flash drives I use with it before I can open them.
I understand I have described a "well known problem" caused by a non standard sequence in Vista, that can be obviated by a fix to the login sequence that can be made to the linux code in my mini so that it will recognize and perform the login (user name and password) that is required when a Vista machine is encountered.
But I'm in over my head, unable to even find the command line on my mini.
I am looking a way to access my windows vista files (documents and pictures) in opensuse. I have a problem my Vista doesnt load anymore and I really need to recover some files from it before formatting.
I know very very veeeery little about linux. I installed few month ago but then didnt have time to really work on it. I checked on google but it's more confusing.
I have three partition. One is for Vista home edition 64 bit, the other one opensuse 11.1 and a third one for dell stuff (not sure what is it exactly )
does anyone know where the tmp/flash files are located in 11.04? i don't want to download the videos downloader or whatever it is at this point. the files should be somewhere!
I know I can use the log file viewer to look at the logs; however, I was hoping someone can tell me exactly which folder contains the log files so I can view these files directly.
I have an external hard drive with all sort of stuff in there ..the thing is,i connected my external hdd to my laptop while using ubuntu ,and i renamed some folders ,for example i had the folder EVOLVE and I changed the name to EVOLVE *** ,and i did that to some other folders on my external hdd while in ubuntu ...the thing is that now i don't have ubuntu instaled anymore,i have vista ,and when I connect the external hdd i can't access the folder EVOLVE *** and the other ones that I renamed in ubuntu ... can't access it,can't delete it ,can't access proprieties under right click ,can't rename ,can't do anything...when i right click among the other things that apear is @shell32.dll,-8506 . I really want to be able to access my files
I have stuffed up my system and I want to remove Glib 2.20 and Glib 2.26. How can I do this? Where are the files located? Sadly, there does not seem to be a make uninstall file for Glib.
On my Laptop, I installed Debian under the file "/" and the partition on which I have all my files under "/var". While this isn't really a big issue, when I originally installed Debian, I had the intention of having all of my files on a partition that I would auto-mount later so that when I upgrade my system by reinstalling it, I would only have to change the system partition and let everything else stay the same.. I can live without changing my /var if I can only do so by a re-install...
I downloaded slackware disk 1 to 3 via torrent.Now I have 3 nice .rar files which I have uncompressed, and these two accompanying each:slackware-13.1-install.iso.ascslackware-13.1-install.iso.md5I'm running Windows XP, and have nero.The two above files appear to be image files but nero doesn't think so, and I can neither find any other image file to make my install boot cd.I read the other stickied forum topic "So you wan to be a slacker..." which seems to say I should be on the look out for these files:
I have upgraded both my desk- and laptop to 10.04 a week ago, and with practically no problems. However, today both have problems during boot. It takes longer than normal and when I open the log-file I get a message "Could not open the following files". There is a long list of files in /var/log that couldn't be opened as "No such file or directory": pm-suspend.log, wpa_supplicant.log, syslog.0, jockey.log.1,kern.log.0, auth.log.0, daemon.log.0,debug.0, messages.0, dkms_autoinstaller and finally "/var/log/btmp: The file is not a regular file or is not a text file". Seems problem started after a kernel update today.
I have made some custom launchers on my Xfce panel and was wondering where their .desktop file was located. I checked /usr/share/applications but they were not there.
Just completed downloading kubuntu-9.10-dvd-amd64.iso and found that a few files were corrupted. Would rather not download again since I have a slow connection and this download took almost 80 hours!!
Tried torrent---doesn't allow downloading files in the iso.
The corrupt files are listed at the end. Can some kind soul provide a link to these files?
the permissions for my home directory were accidentally changed from 'access files' to 'create and delete files', and I changed them back, but ever since then I am not able to change any preferences/settings at all. power management, themes, panels, emerald, anything. my user account is supposed to be the administrator, and all the user privliges are checked. how to get control of my computer back?
lets say I have a project that have generated lots of xml files. Though all these xml files point to a location with the text name TEXT15. I want to change all the files that containts TEXT15 and change it to TEXT16. This actually works for files in a folder but not recursively in all the entire files....perl -pi -c 's/TEXT15/TEXT16/g' ./* but I have many subfolders and within this more subsub folders....i just want to do this recursively.
Last night I attempted to upgrade my Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) machine. After reboot (it installed a new kernel), the grub menu only had the memtest. Booted into a livecd and it seems that I was missing most of the files in /etc/grub.d/. Reinstalled grub-common and grub-pc didn't seem to restore the files. I ended up having to download the dpkg, expand it and copy the files manually so I could get the box generate grub.conf and boot up. I think grub may have been broken before the upgrade but exhibited the problem when it upgraded the kernel and reran upgrade-grub but I can't seem to figure out why reinstalling grub doesn't add the files back.
I just tried to install kubuntu 6 times on my laptop. I have downloaded the file from a different mirror each time and burned the image via brasero. This used to work for me... Kubuntu will not install. Keeps saying its skipping missing files or something. Anyone else getting this? I eventually gave up on 9.10 and am now trying alpha 1...
The update package popped up with some security updates. I downloaded all of them and then hit the restart button. Now all I see after the winboot load is the grub 'dos' screen. I can get to grub rescue but thats it. I was wondering if there is a way to download the missing files from somewhere and place them in the grub folder as I am dual booting with XP.
I have installed Ubuntu onto a seperate partition as well.
I ran 'sudo apt-get install python', which completed successfully. According to [url, this should have created the directory /usr/lib/python2.6, but I do not see any such directory.
This is causing problems:
I've tried 'apt-get purge python' and then reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.
While attempting to install 7.7 on i7 Samsung notebook, iwlwifi and rtl_nic files cannot be found on usb or sdc (have no floppy to try) Added the missing files to iso and burned new disc which would not boot.
There is some missing files for KLamAV antivirus program from the repository to make KlamAV a full functional program. When I ran the program KLamAV I found 8 files that were infected with a virus that was downloaded from fedora onto my computer today. Because of KLamAV is not a complete program I can not remove the virus or fix the problem.Location of original virus:
x3fw.ncf x3fw-pxe
at this point the two files original virus is: Heuristics.encrypted.zip from here the file unzips and spreads the virus through out the computer.This is coming from the install DVD disk or the download up date.
I had installed ssh but something went wrong and I uninstalled it. I removed the SSH configuration files by hand (I deleted all /etc/ssh folder).After ssh installation (I mean apt-get install ssh) I noticed that I have no SSH configuration files.I tried apt-get install openssh-server but i still have no SSH configuration files.
