Does anyone know WHERE Ubuntu stores the location for mounted external filesystems and/or servers? I can mount other computers on my network, display the files etc., but CAN NOT find where Ubuntu saves the mounted system data and locations.
I mount a PC on the network, open a file manager window and see everything, but can't find where Ubuntu has that system "mounted". It's NOT in the /mnt folder or anywhere else I can see. I need to find this location to feed it to a program that sets up a remote server. I can't setup the server because the program only "looks" at the local root and doesn't find any external mounts.
A few months ago I have setup a server with three hard disks. The partition mapping the disks as follows:
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x7ca36fee
[code]....
Now I have the following problem the LVM file system don't mount properly.If I open the mount point I see only a few files of the LVM disk. If I want to unmount the disk I get the following error:
umount /data/ umount: /data/: not mounted
If I want to mount the volume I get the following error:
mount -a mount: /dev/mapper/gegevens-Data already mounted or /data busy
Just moved to Ubuntu from XP. Whole process has gone very smoothly, but left with a small problem (i.e. it isn't actually affecting usability) that I don't seem to be able to fix and can't find on forums/internet. I also have a problem with the Floppy drive, but I've seen that problem elsewhere in the forums.
It's a dual boot system with both NTFS and Ext4 drives. All are visible and fully accessible. I decided to convert one of the NTFS drive to Ext4. That appeared to be successful and was successfully remounted as an Ext4 drive. The drive label is "Data". I did have a bit of a problem getting it remounted so that I could see/use it under my log-in as opposed to just under root. It's at this point I think that I did something to create the problem.
I now have two entries for "Data" in drop down menu for Places. The true one is shown as a standard hard drive icon, but the false one is shown as a different icon - possibly an external drive icon (note that the floppy drive is also showing as the same icon and I can't access that, but I've seen that's a problem elsewhere in the forums).
I can write and read to the true "Data" hard drive. If I click on the other false "Data" icon, I get the message "mount: /dev/sdd1 already mounted or /media/Data busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd1 is already mounted on /media/Data". If unmount the true drive and try to mount the false drive, the system mounts the true drive instead. If I log into nautilus as root, neither the false data drive or the floppy appear in the left hand panel.
I am an Apple user who ended up buying a netbook with XP installed on it. I got the Acer Aspire One zg5 refurb, because it was super cheap. Problem is, I noticed I hate the Windows experience and I would like to have something similar to Mac in this computer, and I've had some casual experience with linux before (through a live CD that a friend gave me). However, I need to keep the XP running on this thing because I need it for work. The main use that I have this netbook for is to take up notes, do some light music/video editing (for which I have to admit XP has been strangely okayish), listen to music, browse the web, among other things. I would like to install Linux in this because it offers great tools for these functions, and I need to have those on the run. So I thought I would try to double-boot this computer with XP and Ubuntu, but I am sort of a beginner on this aspect.
My questions are what follows: If I use the GParted that comes with the Ubuntu 10.04 installation disk, will I lose the data that I have already stored on this PC? If my computer isn't able to give the needed resolution to run Ubuntu, would it still run OK in the netbook? Will my computer run OK if I make it double-boot? Would it be too much of a hassle for its Atom processor to do this? I would like to install some of the apps that come with the Ubuntu Studio version if I can make the system double-boot. Is this possible? Can I customize the desktop version of ubuntu to give me some ot her color for the taskbar instead of the blackish gray that is set by default?
I'm probably doing something stupid, but I thought I'd ask here, because I'm stumped. I'm on slackware 12.2, KDE 3.5 and AIR 2.02.When Echofon abruptly stopped linux support, I switched to tweetdeck (v. 0.34.3.2). It worked great, and they recently pushed a new update. I installed it, deleted the ELS directory in ~/.appdata/Adobe/AIR, and it was unable to find any stored data in kwalletmanager. (I got the error that it wasn't able to find any stored data and that AIR isn't installed properly--the error one gets when tweetdeck is started without kwalletmanager running.)
I deleted the entry in kwalletmanager for AIR, deleted the ELS directory again, and restarted it. Same error, and no new entry in kwalletmanager was made. I downgraded to the previous version (0.32.3.2), and it worked perfectly once more.
Yesterday, I upgraded to the 10.04 verion of xubuntu. Looks fine. However, I keep my data on an NTFS partition of my dual boot laptop, and am finding that I can't access it.
I have a symbolic link to that mounted partition, and when I click on it, I can see the first level of folders, but I can't execute them (even though they seem to be set to 777) and I can't open anything...
I have machine that I used to VNC to on my network with Remote Desktop Viewer from my Fedora 12. When I first connected I checked the checkbox that I wanted to store the pw. Now the pw on the other machine has changed but Remote Desktop Viewer does not ask for a new password, it just gives me a black screen, like I am connected but I can't see anything. I'd like to know if anyone knows where this pw data is stored on the system so I can start fresh. I already tried uninstalling Remote Desktop Viewer and installing it again.
I have acces to NTFS partitions from OpenSuse 11.2, and read data, yet I cannot write changes of it. I tryed to change "rw" attributes using "sudo", and was not possible. Even the windows version I had is 7, the NTFS partition I want to access for writing, comes from a previous XP install. Is there a way to have "write" access for data stored in NTFS? I recall an install I had on a laptop with Windows XP and Ubuntu... and Ubuntu was able to write on NTFS; would it be possible in OpenSuse?
At boot time, before entering Runlevel 3 the HDD will go mad when mounting tmpfs on /dev/shm...
Code:
EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) INIT:Entering runlevel 3
It will go on and on at the tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) until i press ctrl-C...then I will stop whatever it is doing, let the hdd rest a bit, and resume normal boot..
I'm using the default email that comes with Ubuntu.What I had:
- 10.10 installed onto a terabyte hard drive with email organized into individual folders under the main folder
What I did: - bought a new terabyte hard drive and installed 11.04 on it - set up old terabyte drive as backup drive but kept everything on it
So how do I dig into the old drive to get the email off of it and into my 11.04 install? I didn't overwrite any files, I need to get the mail off before I can do that.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my two machines. I installed the restricted extras on one machine along with all other updates. Is it possible to just copy those updates into the other machine, without wasting time and bandwidth in entire new update?
Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome.I have a hpDeskjet 940c. It ran great since 8.04 and still works great on 10.04. However, I had to shut down the computer it is on to do some hardware repairs to the powersupply of the computer. So, I moved my printer to another Ubuntu 10.04 machine and discovered I didn't know the settings, such as baud rate, flow control, parity, etc. Ubuntu had never asked me for them....nor was I lucky at guessing them. I then found the hp installer which said it supported my printer and would automatically do the install job, but after trying it, I found it only supported USB and my printer has only a parallel connection.
I then moved the printer to a 9.04 Machine, thinking I only needed to drop back in time, since my printer worked great during that era also, and discovered the same problem! Evidently my printer hasn't been supported for some time! Yet it has happily worked with each new version of Ubuntu.This brought me to the realization there must be a file in my home directory which survives each new full install that I do, and that contains everything my printer needs to be automatically set up, as with each new version of Ubuntu, the wizard has worked great automatically setting it up.Does anyone know the name of that file, so that I can copy it to the new machine?
Where are Nautilus scripts stored? After I installed jEdit, I now have an "Open with jEdit" option on the right-click context menu, and I want to modify that to reuse the existing jEdit view rather than create a new one. However, both my ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and ~/.nautilus folders are completely empty, so where are the scripts stored?
I've just moved to Ubuntu and using Linux on the desktop in general. I use RHEL on a daily basis for work so don't really have much experience with window managers etc but like to understand how I'm doing what I'm doing. In that regard, I've configured a couple of scripts to be run when I login using 'System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications' but what I want to know is where do these settings actually get stored within the file system?
If anyone of you guys could tell me where does ubuntu saves user prefference/settings/application settings/menus/themes all that effect only user loged in so i can transfer all of this to another account and have them be the same. Or maybe there is an app for that ?
I setup my ubuntu to have no users and only root account, but i found that its not made to work correctly with being root at all times, so i created an account and want to export my root prefferences to newly created account, just like i could with windows by exporting files/registry keys etc.
I was using enigmail and thunderbird to do gpg encryption, and now that I reinstalled, I cannot get them working to decrypt my messages again.I have a backup of the home directory, how can I recover my private key?
I need to be able to launch a GUI application for all users after they login. I know I can go to Startup Applications and add a launcher, but I don't want to have to login as every user and do that. Is there a file I can edit from the command line with elevated privledges? Something I could script, like appending to an XML file or something?
I've been using the KDE version of Jaunty Jackalope since it came out last spring, installing it on several different machines. Each time, I make a series of changes to the profile settings in konsole to make it look and act the way I like. Recently, I've installed JJ on yet another machine and I find myself reluctant to tackle the tedious job of changing those profile setting, one by one, yet again.
It occurs to me that the settings are probably kept in a file someplace, and that I might be able simply to copy that file from a machine on which I have the settings already in place, and paste it onto the new machine. I've tried making a minor change in the profile, then looking for a file that's time-stamped at that moment, but I haven't found anything in the places I've looked.
Im gona install some ubuntu PCs, but the question is for dont update the N computers via web, what I need to copy from the first PC to the others for launch a program in the other N-1 PCs and have updated all (without run download on the N-1 PCs).
I had a problem with my ubuntu installation, but I don't want to get into that...The OS wouldn't load...Now, that I have a ubuntu partition mounted on a live cd, is there a way I can access or backup my database without booting the system? I'm pretty sure the database is stored somewhere, but how can I find it and back it up?
Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. Installation went OK.When it starts I see the following message;"Could not apply stored configuration to monitors. Error on line 1 Char 1. Document was empty or contained white space"Maximum monitor resolution is 800x600 although my monitors is capable to 1280x1024 and Refresh Rate is 56 or 60. I should be able to choose 72Hz and over.
