HlpWithAutoMntWould someone like to help me with setting up my NTFS partition to automatically mount when I boot up my ubuntu machine?15:02
bigred15HlpWithAutoMnt: I'm not really an expert, so you may choose to ignore this, but I believe there's an ntfs-config package which does it.15:11
HlpWithAutoMnthi bigred. thanks for that info. Do you know anything about editing the /etc.fstab? I think I might be able to do it using the following link(http://askubuntu.com/questions/343438/why-are-partitons-not-automatically-mounting). Im just not sure if i use spaces to seperate required info or tab(s).15:15
bigred15Yeah, that procedure will work also. Just make sure you make a copy of the fstab before editing it.15:17
bigred15and yes, you can use spaces/tabs.15:18
HlpWithAutoMntok. thanks for pointing out backing up. And just 1 space between each will do the trick?15:20
HlpWithAutoMntok. I will try. will let ya know how it went. Thanks bigred.15:21
bigred15Yeah, virtually just one space will do the trick; however I'd recommend keeping it as close as possible to currently layout to make it look neater.15:21
bigred15s/currently/current15:21
HlpWithAutoMntahhh, right. I was wondering if it was going to selfcorrect spacing to look like the couple that are already in the fstab.\15:22
HlpWithAutoMnti'll be back : )15:23
bigred15Good luck!15:23
HlpWithAutoMnthey i did it! Thanks askubuntu.com. Thanks bigred15 : )15:38
bigred15Awesome work buddy! Glad it worked for you.15:39
HlpWithAutoMnthehehe. yeah me too. Im becoming real glad ive come across linux/ubuntu : )15:39
HlpWithAutoMntHow long have you been using linux/ubuntu for bigred?15:40
bigred15Linux since 1999, but this is the first week I've used it for about 5 years. I mainly work with UNIX (IBM AIX to be specific).15:41
bigred15What about yourself, when did you start using Linux?15:43
HlpWithAutoMntWow. Thats awesome you've been onto it for that long. UNIX I get the picture. As for the IBM AIX. You've lost me there.15:43
HlpWithAutoMntBeen using the live Ubuntu 10.04 for about two years. But never did anything other than use it to surf the net.15:44
HlpWithAutoMntI've now installed Ubuntu 10.04 onto a usb. And using the internal hard drive(30GB) as a storage area.15:45
bigred15Oh, cool. Impressive stuff. Do you still use Windows in any capacity?15:46
HlpWithAutoMntVery rarely. I dont do too much on the lappy. except surf the web. play music and videos. 15:48
bigred15Cool! Glad it's working out for you.15:49
HlpWithAutoMntWindows is installed on an old desktop(compaq evo D500) i have. But i pretty much never use it.15:49
HlpWithAutoMntMy lappy is also old. Toshiba A60. 512MB ram. 30GB hdd.15:50
bigred15Old, but if it does the job, then it's no problem :)15:50
HlpWithAutoMntExactly : ) So i take it youre from Oz bigred? where abouts?15:51
bigred15Sure am, Melburnian. Yourself?15:52
HlpWithAutoMntDont answer that if it compromises your security. I understand : )15:52
HlpWithAutoMntGood old sydney town : )15:52
bigred15Ah nice. I lived there for a while in Chatswood.15:53
HlpWithAutoMntWere you lucky enough to get an NBN hook up?15:53
bigred15In Melbourne? Nope. Don't really need it either to be honest. I'm happy enough with ADSL2+ as it is.15:53
HlpWithAutoMntcool. I'm down in the Shire ; )15:54
HlpWithAutoMntAnd i use to live in melbourne. Stkilda to be exact.15:54
HlpWithAutoMntYeah right. Would have been good though to have been on the first band wagon. The way Turnbal and the Liberals are going. Its starting to sem like its going to be another tool for the rich.15:56
