I have noticed that a CD or DVD wont mount in Ubuntu 10.04 but always mounts on a reboot. /media is empty.Could this maybe a hardware issue rather that a fault with Ubuntu? My PC is used almost every day and is 4 years old. Is there a command to force mount a CD or DVD?

My question is the following:How can I revert an update or force a package version via command line? It's pretty straight forward via Synaptic but I only have access to the recovery command line so that is not really an option.

I currently only have command prompt (Putty) access. How can I set the drives up to be usable. They were on another server that died.

I can click on the shares I want in nautilus under "Network", but I'm using fluxbox and I'd like to mount a few shares at startup. I read the documentation for the udisks command, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with samba shares.
If the filesystem is mounted with noatime option does it influence find -atime behaviour? I tested and it looks that find is able to see access time but why should it if mounted with noatime? Or maybe it depends on the type of filesystem (I`m using XFS)?EDIT: Looks the answer is [URL]htmlIf a file system has been mounted with this option, reading accesses to the file system will no longer result in an update to the atime information associated with the file like we have explained above. The importance of the noatime setting is that it eliminates the need by the system to make writes to the file system for files which are simply being read. Since writes can be somewhat expensive, this can result in measurable performance gains. Note that the write time information to a file will continue to be updated anytime the file is written to.

I know how to modify the /etc file to change permissions, but I don't think that it could apply to this:
I'm using my Ubuntu desktop to compile Linux From Scratch onto a Virtual Box disk image. I can make it mountable by using a vdfuse program I downloaded, but then I have to use sudo to mount the actual partition. I do not want to give another account the ability to use sudo.
p.s. does this only happen to certain distros, or is a part of the Linux kernel?

I'm using Fedora 12, and I want to mount/unmount my USB memory stick from the command line. I know I could edit /etc/fstab and so on, but I want to emulate what happens when you mount using the GUI (I use KDE and the device notifier), that is, I want to be able to do this as an unprivileged user and not have to know the mount point exists in advance.
I'm sure in older versions of Fedora there was a command something like `gnome-user-mount' which let me do this knowing only the filesystem label... What is the current equivalent?
I have a program which mounts /dev/sdb1 for which I lack the source code. This device does not exist on my RedHat 9 system and I want to create /dev/sdb1 such that it's an alias for /dev/hdb1 Can I do this? with MAKEDEV?
I need to have an alias which will allow it to mount, not create a symbolic link to an already mounted directory. i.e. 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/harddrive' should actually mount /dev/hdb1
My computer is connected to the college lan where almost all machines are some variant of Windows OS. If i use Places > Network, while windows network is displayed, mostly it returns unable to mount shares, my workaround for this problem is I use some tool like nbtscan to see which hosts are up and then use network > Connect to Server > windows share and type in the ip address, this mounts the windows share even though Places> network doesn't display such hosts. My question is there some command line way where I can invoke nautilus to mount the windows share, ie the same job connect to server > windows share does? And is there some application like say lan surfer for windows which lists all the folders shared by a windows client.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a samba based domain controller which has a share with limited privileges for different usernames. When I log in the gvfs wizard in ubuntu everything is all good and I can access all the files I am supposed to be able to.
I suspect it has to do with the owner and group of the directory not being a user in the local machine. When mounted via gvfs the owner and group are the local user and group whereas when mounted via the mount command the user and group are foreign uids and gids.I had thought that gvfs would have relied on mount() system call under the bonnet but is this not the case as gvfs mounts don't appear in the list when you type 'mount'.Can this be solved in the standard smbfs mount or is gvfs simply a better implementation that does some magic behind the scenes to set the owner and groups in accordance with the smb protocol?
I am using 11.3 on one machine and 11.2 on the other (a netbook). 11.4 won't install on either and 11.3 on the netbook fails to install as well.
I am using the same setup as I have always used when both systems ran 11.2 (details below) but now I can only mount a drive in one direction. In the other direction the mount command gets stuck with no error message until it eventually times out. I can ping and ssh the machines from each other without difficulty.
Even in the direction in which the mount apparently works (11.2 mounting a drive on the 11.3 machine) when I try to copy files across nothing actually happens.
exportfs -a was run successfully on the exporting machine, and nfsserver is running on both machines as does nfs client.
The exporting machine is 192.168.1.102 (eeelinux) and the other machine is 192.168.1.101 (nina).
Details:
The /etc/exports file on the exporting machine (192.168.1.102) looks like this:
eeelinux:/home/naima # more /etc/exports
# See the exports(5) manpage for a description of the syntax of this file.
# This file contains a list of all directories that are to be exported to
# other computers via NFS (Network File System).
