I recently started using Ubuntu again and I'm having a problem. I have a slave harddisk with all my documents on it and I cannot access them. Whenever I try to open the drive I get an error. Can anyone help a nigga out?

what format is it NTFS?

should be as easy as that



toggletoggle post by fleshfries at Aug 13,2008 2:08pm
Well it worked, and I appreciate the help, but now it's telling me I'm not privileged to access it. I never had any restrictions on it or anything at all while using Windows, so I'm not sure why it would be saying that. Do you happen to have a solution for this as well?

is it mounted?

Its better you figure it out so that you can fix it later... make a ubuntu forum account.

the file that has the mounting settings is /etc/fstab so in a terminal type:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

that means "sudo" which is as admin or root user
open gedit which is a a text editor
with the following file /etc/ftsab

Ah yes, It's working now, thanks a bunch dude.

man, I miss ubuntu. I had it as a dualboot with windows a few years ago but my HDs crashed.

One more question for you...I understand that mp3 files are not supported by Ubuntu, but I have heard there are ways to make it so they are supported. Would you know how to go about this?

Fuck Ubuntu, use Debian. It's not much "harder" and you'll get more buttlove from geeks.



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Aug 14,2008 12:33pm
they are supported now... but in any case open up software sources(admin menu) and check
all the boxes in the ubuntu software tab.
then open synaptic(should me next to sources in the menu) and seach for restricted and install ubuntu restricted extras
this installs proprietary software like java and flash and other stuff... then seach for gstreamer and install the "good" "bad" and "ugly" and other gstreamer stuff it suggests. also install "libflashsupport"

I also recommend songbird www.getsongbird.com
thats what gstreamer is for...
although right now there are a few bugs with sound sources but its still awesome.
you might have some problems with sound

one more thing i like to install is "gnome-compiz-manager"
it shows up in the preferences menu as Advanced Desktop Effect Settings
do this if you have nvidia i wouldnt bother if you have ATI

this is my desktop atm

toggletoggle post by fleshfries at Aug 14,2008 1:16pm
I tried that and I still have no sound from mu mp3s sadly.



toggletoggle post by Sxealex cell at Aug 14,2008 3:24pm
In firefox? install vlc and mozzila vlc plugin from synaptics.



toggletoggle post by fleshfries at Aug 14,2008 3:35pm
No, I mean if I try to play an mp3 file in one of the media players, it plays but there is no sound to be heard.



toggletoggle post by Sxealex cell at Aug 15,2008 9:55am
Can u play any sounds?



toggletoggle post by fleshfries at Aug 15,2008 10:40am
Yea, sounds work and such. I can watch vids online with sound and all that.

Ubuntu is Debian.



toggletoggle post by Conservationist  at Aug 15,2008 11:23am
Hippie version...



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Aug 15,2008 11:55am
and you installed vlc? the stock media player sucks.

ubuntu is based on debian... go into the debian irc room and tell that ubuntu is debian.



toggletoggle post by fleshfries at Aug 15,2008 12:24pm
Yea, vlc has been installed and still no sound from it...I'm losing hope :(



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Aug 15,2008 4:07pm
