Ubuntu :: Unreadable WD MyBook Terrabyte Drive On 10.04 LTS?
May 8, 2010I've been using a WD MyBook terrabyte USB drive for several months with no problem. Several days ago, I used the "safely remove drive" option but then unplugged the cable before the removal process had finished.
Now when I plug the drive in, the WD SmartWave section of the drive will mount. This is additional software for Windows computers that came with the drive and that I don't use. The main drive itself, though, will not mount. The drive doesn't show up on the left side of a navigation window, either.
I can see the drive using Disk Utility. It is located at /dev/sbd. (a) mount this drive or (b) recover its data so I can format it? I'd much prefer (a), of course. Regarding my level of tech savvy: I've been using Ubuntu for a couple years, but I chose Ubuntu because it allows me to use Linux while still remaining relatively ignorant about things, which is my comfort zone.

Networking :: Connecting Mybook 2 (external HDD) With Laptop Running Ubuntu 10.04?
Jun 3, 2010im having problems connecting mybook 2 with my laptop. Everything was ok and running perfectly and there was no changes in my laptop or upgrades and it stop working. I was not able to see the computers in my network then I fixed it I can see them but when I try to browse the files the OS tells me that is unable to mount location and failed to retrieve share list from server. The funny part is that if I go to Places>Connect to server and type my mybook ip address, my laptop can connect and I can browse the files. I really dont know what is the problem. My firewall is down so I dont think that is the problem. If anyone can help me with these because I know im able to connect to my mybook but i am unable to connect to any other laptop or my WD-Tv live.

May 24, 2011This is a problem I've been working at on and off for quite a long time now. I acquired one of these devices from a thrift store and eventually decided that the drives would serve better mounted in my desktop PC, rather than hooked up to a router where large-scale backups are made unbearably slow.
What I quickly discovered is that these drives don't want to appear to any OS. The Windows installer doesn't see them. My Linux distro (at the time) didn't see them. A GParted live CD didn't see them. DBAN didn't see them. The BIOS, however, saw them, so I banged my head against a few possible solutions.
Martin Hinner's blog seemed promising but didn't have the information I wanted. This blog only had disassembly guides/photos, and no info (that I was able to find) on actually getting the drives to work in a Linux system. I'd love to have an extra 4TB of storage in my desktop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: WD MyBook (USB3.0) Not Working With USB3.0 Card
Jan 5, 2011Ubuntu 10.10, 32 bit.I've got a 2TB WD external disk which has USB 3.0, and I have a USB 3.0 PCIe card.Plugging the drive into the card has no effect at all. The drive powers itself up, but the kernel log is silent. A USB 2.0 flash disk works properly with the card, and the WD disk works properly plugged into a USB 2.0 port, but the combination of the 3.0 disk and the 3.0 card is completely nonfunctional, even when using a small extension cable to cut off the superspeed connection.
Searching suggested that this is because of a bug which would prevent superspeed from working, but should -not- cause complete failure (highspeed fallback should be OK). I tried the suggested fix for this anyway, which was to install kernel 2.6.37-020637rc1 (was 2.6.35-24-generic). This did not help my problem nor did it correct that endpoint error message.
Ubuntu :: USA Keyboard Keeps Appearing
May 2, 2010I used Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and built a Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit VM using VMWare player.It's great, except it keeps reverting to a USA keyboard after each reboot.The host OS doesn't do this.The host was installed normally, but the guest was installed via the VMWare easy install thing which does everything for you.I've already set the location back to London, and I've added a UK keyboard to it, but still this odd reversion.I've googled and found other people reporting it but don't see any resolution.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Notify-OSD Not Appearing?
May 3, 2010No matter what I try, notifications do not appear. The notify-osd program is running (if I check ps) and nothing ever reports an error. I just don't see it, or hear it (does it make a sound?)
I think this might be because of my dual screen setup. I have two screens set up, with the screen on the right lower than the screen on the left so that they match up in real life.
This leaves a dead space above the right hand screen, perhaps its appearing in there? But I have already used notification-preferences to move it to the left (does that even work?) and still nothing. What's up? I rely on notifications to tell me that something's up, since the new "notification area" plugin does not flash and is thus utterly useless on this large screen display (design failure)
Ubuntu :: Title Bar Not Appearing?
Aug 2, 2010This issue has plagued ubuntu 10.04 on all my installations, PC and laptop, and is an infrequent annoyance that needs to be resolved. Basically, after boot up, i'll bring up a gnome window and the title bar will not be there. This means I can't click and drag windows easily, and do other things the title bar lets you do. Is there an easy fix to this that i'm not locating? Also i've tried restarting my X session, by logging out, and the problem persists until I restart the system. And even then the title bar may not load.

Jan 6, 2011I set up some shares but df and Nautilus aren't bringing them up on the other computer. I must be missing something.
Here is how I set up the shares on the one system - "Compaq".
Installed nfs-kernel-server
Modified the nts-common and nfs-kernel-server files:
STATDOPTS="--port 32765 --outgoing-port 32766"
[Code]....
I've also run rpcinfo on the ASUS system but with the IP address of Compaq, getting the same results. Which is good right?
I can ping back and forth. I've successfully run SSH on the ASUS machine from the Compaq machine. I'm not sure what to do now. Could this be a permissions issue? I'm using the fist user on each system.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Icons Not Appearing On LXPanel
Feb 26, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS installed on an AMD K6-2 system. When logging in with LXDE, certain icons such as the HP Toolbox and the Update Manager do not appear on the LXDE Task Bar when they should. The HP icon should appear after logging in (It automatically does with XFCE.) For the HP icon to appear, I have to manually run HPLIP Toolbox.
The various Update Manager icons (gray - package manager working, orange - updates available, red - important updates available) also do not appear at all under LXDE automatically and the only way to see if there are any updates is to manually run Update Manager after a period of time, which should not be necessary. These same icons also automatically appear under XFCE.
Is there something that I can look at to see why these are not appearing? I know there is a file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Under "Desktop Session Settings", the only two items listed are Screensaver and PolicyKit Authorization Agent, neither of these are checked. When adding hp-toolbox to the autostart file, it completely launched the HP Toolbox in addition to displaying the icon.
I only want the icon to appear and would launch hp-toolbox as needed. The only icons that appear automatically after an LXDE login, are the Network Connection, ScreenLock and Shutdown icons. It does not appear to be kernel-dependent as I had both the generic and 386 kernels installed on this (now have only the 386 installed) and the icons did not appear with either kernel used.

Jan 20, 2010Old HP computer, came with XP, installed Ubuntu 8.03, upgraded to 9.10, installed xubuntu-desktop for speed.
Ever since I've started dual-booting Ubuntu with Xp, I've been able to access my XP partition by going to Places-HP_PAVILION, which has always been mounted at /media/HP_PAVILION, but recently, within the last few days or so, it hasn't been appearing anywhere. I'm still able to mount it if it use # mount /dev/sda2 /*mount point*, but that's a pain, and I'd rather not use a workaround if I don't have to. Any suggestions? I'd really prefer if it mounted to /media/, and had it's own shortcut in the Places menu, like flash drives, memory cards, and such get. I've tried my Flash Drive, and that does everything it's supposed to.

Ubuntu :: Programs Not Appearing In The Menu After Installation?
Jun 2, 2010I have an unusual request for help. I asked this question on the Backtrack forums, but they were I have a dualboot of Ubuntu 9.04 and Backtrack 4 on my laptop. Backtrack 4, for those that don't know, is a security penetration testing distro based on Ubuntu with a KDE environment. It basically IS ubuntu, but with some changes, so I figured I'd ask this here.The menu in backtrack has been stripped of it's "Games" folder, as well as some other folders. so when I use "add/remove applications" to install a game it doesn't put a shortcut to it in a Games directory. I tried adding a Games directory to the menu bar myselff, but when I try to install a game, the installer still doesn't see it and put a shortcut there. How can I fix this so that it does?
