[09:38] hi, anyone available to assist with an installation issue? [13:09] !plymouth [13:09] Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » === Deyan is now known as Guest41790 [23:36] Hello, trying to do this guide to add an additional hdd. I want the hdd to automatically mount so I can store information. [23:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/125257/how-do-i-add-an-additional-hard-drive [23:37] ^^ i have done some of the steps but i am confused [23:37] when it tells me to add a /hdd folder is it on the file system drive or on the new added drive [23:37] any suggestions. thanks. [23:38] SwcdfkX: you add the information to fstab [23:38] !fstab [23:38] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:38] SwcdfkX: you should back that file up, or keep it well commented, so you can revert [23:39] SwcdfkX: what happened to me is, i broke the machine from booting while testing.. then i could go in with a live CD and revert the changes til i got it automatically mounting to the mount point i wanted [23:39] then, i chowned the mount point [23:39] !chown [23:39] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:40] ,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0644 as fstab mount options... [23:43] but step 2.1 holstein [23:43] it asks to make a director [23:43] not to write to fstab [23:44] SwcdfkX: the way i do it is, i edit fstab [23:44] SwcdfkX: if you are seeing some other suggesiton that is not working for you, i can say, the fstab route works [23:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [23:46] well it's not working because i am stuck on step2.1 [23:46] i am not an avid ubuntu user but i want to learn it [23:46] i find it challenging [23:46] SwcdfkX: use the guide i gave [23:47] Double click icon on desktop, automounts to /media/username/UUID/ [23:50] 113999fb-2b88-463e-8dd1-e2c44e922aec [23:50] swcdx@Minecraft:/media$ [23:50] that is what shows up when i do ls on the /media folder [23:51] when i click on the home folder there is an icon on the hdd label that looks like eject icon [23:51] which that means it's not mounted correct? [23:54] holstein so i would add this to fstab /dev/sdb1 /media/113999fb-2b88-463e-8dd1-e2c44e922aec ext4 defaults 0 0 [23:54] Unit193 it does mount when i click on the hold folder and then hdd [23:55] but i want it to mount all the time [23:56] Gotcha.
