| Hotkey | im in class | 18:22 |
|---|---|---|
| bobertdos | We just need to work with the terminal a bit, Hotkey. | 18:23 |
| Hotkey | OK - did you see my last post | 18:23 |
| histo | Schools out for summer | 18:23 |
| bobertdos | yes | 18:23 |
| Hotkey | that shortcut will not stay there after reboot? | 18:23 |
| bobertdos | The shortcut will stay there, but if the drive isn't mounted, it will be a broken shortcut. | 18:24 |
| Hotkey | aha | 18:24 |
| Hotkey | terminal open | 18:24 |
| bobertdos | alright, first we need to make sure we know a couple locations of things | 18:25 |
| Hotkey | k | 18:26 |
| bobertdos | try typing: ls /media/disk (I'm assuming that's where your Windows drive mounted itself). | 18:26 |
| Hotkey | ls: cannot access /media/dis: No such file or directory | 18:26 |
| bobertdos | disk | 18:27 |
| bobertdos | with a k | 18:27 |
| Hotkey | lol works fine with the "k" in there | 18:27 |
| bobertdos | So that is the Windows drive, right? | 18:27 |
| bobertdos | Okay good | 18:27 |
| Hotkey | ya - i see lottsa windows line items | 18:27 |
| bobertdos | good | 18:28 |
| bobertdos | Now, type: mount | 18:28 |
| Hotkey | and press enter? | 18:28 |
| bobertdos | yeah | 18:28 |
| Hotkey | large linux command list | 18:29 |
| bobertdos | Find the line with ntfs in it and tell me what it says on the left for a directory | 18:29 |
| bobertdos | Your're looking for something like: /dev/sd..... | 18:29 |
| Hotkey | not seeing it | 18:30 |
| bobertdos | er.......We should use fdisk instead. | 18:30 |
| bobertdos | type: sudo fdisk -l | 18:31 |
| Hotkey | ? | 18:31 |
| Hotkey | ok | 18:31 |
| bobertdos | (that's the letter l by the way) | 18:31 |
| Hotkey | done | 18:31 |
| bobertdos | Find the line that has ntfs in it. | 18:31 |
| Hotkey | looking for this: /dev/sda2 * 9 22955 184321777+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | 18:31 |
| bobertdos | yes sir | 18:32 |
| Hotkey | :) | 18:32 |
| bobertdos | now, I will copy and paste the next command, because it's long. I suggest you copy and paste it too. | 18:32 |
| Hotkey | k | 18:32 |
| bobertdos | actually, before that | 18:35 |
| Hotkey | ya? | 18:35 |
| bobertdos | type: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 18:35 |
| Hotkey | editor is open | 18:36 |
| bobertdos | with fstab? | 18:36 |
| Hotkey | ya | 18:36 |
| bobertdos | k, now somewhere in that file, probably down below your Linux hard drive, sandwich this in there: | 18:37 |
| bobertdos | /dev/sda2 UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/disk ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8 0 0 | 18:38 |
| bobertdos | You could probably put it at the bottom of the file too. That would likely be easier. | 18:38 |
| Hotkey | is this the linux hd? # /dev/sda5 UUID=e9786600-b9b5-4ff8-a920-a56ea1d997fd / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 18:39 |
| Hotkey | o ok | 18:39 |
| bobertdos | yeah, it is | 18:39 |
| Hotkey | sandwich or bottom? | 18:39 |
| bobertdos | up to you :p | 18:39 |
| Hotkey | bottom pasted in | 18:39 |
| bobertdos | Now save the file. | 18:41 |
| Hotkey | done | 18:42 |
| bobertdos | Then, back in the terminal, type: sudo mount -a | 18:42 |
| Hotkey | [mntent]: line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad | 18:42 |
| Hotkey | :( | 18:42 |
| bobertdos | uh oh | 18:42 |
| Hotkey | uh oh | 18:42 |
| bobertdos | I assume line 11 is what was just added. | 18:42 |
| Hotkey | il gksudo gedit /etc/fstab again | 18:43 |
| Hotkey | ya line 11 it is. | 18:43 |
| bobertdos | k, get rid of it | 18:43 |
| Hotkey | this is the line /dev/sda2 UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/disk ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8 0 0 | 18:44 |
| Hotkey | gone | 18:44 |
| Hotkey | save/close? | 18:44 |
| bobertdos | Use this one instead: /dev/sda2 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 18:44 |
| Hotkey | ok dun | 18:44 |
| Hotkey | saved closed | 18:44 |
| bobertdos | okay, try sudo mount -a again | 18:45 |
| Hotkey | this again? sudo mount -a | 18:45 |
| Hotkey | k | 18:45 |
| Hotkey | no response | 18:45 |
| bobertdos | No response = good response :) | 18:45 |
| Hotkey | LOL = ok | 18:45 |
| bobertdos | Now, the next time you reboot, the drive SHOULD automatically be there and the shortcut SHOULD work. | 18:46 |
| Hotkey | shutdown, reboot, cross fingers! | 18:46 |
| bobertdos | yes | 18:46 |
| Hotkey | thanks so much for helping. patience is a virtue. | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | yes, yes it is | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | I will still be here if there are any problems. | 18:47 |
| Hotkey | by the way - do you use xchat as irc client or is there something better | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | I use Pidgin actually. | 18:48 |
| Hotkey | i'll try that next time - i do have it and use it for other msgr. services - so makes sense. thx again. | 18:48 |
| Hotkey | bbl | 18:48 |
