ubottulag^2: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount17:43
holsteinkeep in mind, its not "magic".. if your drive was failing or broken, linux wont "fix" it.. it'll just allow you to mount functional hard drives and rescue data17:44
lag^2is the file manager something i need to download?17:57
holsteinlag^2: no17:58
holsteinlag^2: you literaly click on it, in the bottom left.. you see the drives available on the left pane.. click and mount17:58

utz1Hey. Anybody else have a grey bar across their screen after updating to 14.04?20:21
niteroanyone know if there's a way to change the options in the shutdown menu in lxde?20:35
lag^2hi21:09
lag^2do i have to install lubuntu to access my harddrive? or does the "try w/o installing" allso allow me to acces my harddrive?21:11
Unit193Trying it should allow you to access.21:12
lag^2how do i tell it?21:13
lag^2"trying it should allow you to access" when i booted from my usb and chose " try withou instaling none of my programs or files were there21:21
Unit193...No, they won't be, they'll be on the hard drive, which you can mount.21:23
lag^2how do i do that?'21:23
Unit193Sounds like you want to install.21:23
randiHi after a successul upgrade to 14.04 fr0m 13.10, it seems that the pcmanfm tools no longer provides the "open current folder as root". Is there a alternative to this ?...Thanks21:24
randiOther than opening pcmanfm in terminal...21:24
lag^2can i just run the os from the usb and still access my drive?21:25
Unit193randi: Right, they don't.  I think LXDE made a post about creating a custom action that does the same thing.21:25
Unit193lag^2: You can *access* your drive now, but it won't act like an installed system.21:25
randiahh ty Unit193, got a link to that ?21:25
Unit193!persistence21:25
ubottuTo have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence21:25
Unit193randi: http://blog.lxde.org/?p=1082 not a ton on it though.21:27
randiMy system is a full installation to a 30 gb micro ssd card with dual boot with puppy linux21:27
randity...Unit193 !!21:27
Unit193Sure.21:27
randiIts a script I spoz huh ?21:27
lag^2is the "persistant storege" on the usb?21:27
randiMy installation is a full install , no persistent storage....21:28
lag^2i'm looing to use my harddrive for storeage of all my programs but keep the os on the usb21:29
lag^2can i do that?21:29
randiI think so.....as long as your system recognizes the drive as local21:30
lag^2so how do i do that?21:30
randiI think lubuntu might do that for you21:30
lag^2so how do i access the stuff from my harddrive?21:31
randiI think when you boot after a live install the persistent file is in your filesystem21:32
randiyou move it, cut and paste to the drive21:32
lag^2how do i find the persistent file?21:33
randilook for it21:33
randiit in the filesystem of your live install21:34
lag^2on the usb?21:34
randiIt might be called casper-rw...21:34
randiyah...on the usb21:35
lag^2move folder called casper-rw to the c drive?21:36
randic drive huh?21:36
lag^2(hard drive)21:36
randithat sounds like ntfs or fat21:36
randiwhich win product is it ?21:37
lag^2721:37
randiso thats ntfs fs, well, put it there and see if it works21:37
randijust remove it from usb21:38
randimaybe copy it and put it also in your documents as a back up21:38
randibut yah, that would be where to put it , if it works on the ntfs file system, straight to the C drive21:39
randiI usually partition a larger flash and put it on the second partition21:40
randiie the live partition gets redi=uced doen to minimum size then the rest of the "stick" gets partitioned to a ext4 fs and it becomes thenew home for casper-rw21:41
randithats how I handle creating an alternate, and larger that 4 gb casper-rw/persistent  file21:43
lag^2ok i moved it to c do i delete the one on the usb now?21:43
randiNo.....not yet, rename it with an x...at the end , just in case,21:44
randiIf you rename it casper-rwx21:44
randithen if itb doesnt work or something wierd happens, you still have it21:45
lag^2then boot from the usb and it should let me get to all my normal stuff?21:45
randishould. If not you will boot to a new live system with nothing that you had saved available21:46
randithen you know it bdidnt work, hehe21:46
lag^2nothig i saved when used the usb lastime or nothing from the hard drive?21:47
randiusb21:47

randiyour hdd is seperate, youe windows stuff21:48

lag^2i mooved the casper to my harddrive and stil can't get to my harddrive from lubuntu22:44
randitry opening terminal and gksudo pacmanfm22:46
randithats gonna be opening your filesystem as root22:48
lag^2so run?22:49
lag^2run pacmanfm?22:49
randitype gksudo pcmanfm in terminal to opn the filesystem as root and then possibly you will have access to your winbdows stuff in the side pane of the file system viewer22:50
lag^2how do i get terminal?22:51
randireally?22:52
randiis there an icon for it on the lower panel?22:53
