| ubuntu-mate | Hey all.. I am loving ubuntu-mate... but... it doesn't seem to let me mount all my NTFS drives. (Ubuntu does). Any ideas? | 03:16 |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntu-mate | nobody? :_( | 03:17 |
| randall | what do you mean, ubuntu does? | 03:18 |
| ubuntu-mate | If I install Ubuntu (the standard install) it installs without issue and all the drives show up and are mounted... on Ubuntu-Mate... the drives appear to all be there in Computer but they do not all mount. | 03:19 |
| randall | have you tried mounting them manually? are they internal or external? | 03:19 |
| ubuntu-mate | They are internal drives... I double-click on the drives in Computer and it gives an error for mounting: | 03:20 |
| ubuntu-mate | Unable to mount location Can't mount file | 03:20 |
| randall | well, if snandard ubuntu can mount and access them, than it's probably not a simple fix if ubuntu mate can not | 03:21 |
| ubuntu-mate | I should be able to install Mate on standard Ubuntu, correct? | 03:22 |
| ubuntu-mate | What else would I be missing beside the desktop Mate? | 03:22 |
| comptekki | ubuntu-mate, have you sudo apt update; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade to udate everything then reboot? | 03:22 |
| randall | yeah, O'm pretty sure you can install any DE on standard ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, etc are just installs of ubuntu with that de from the start | 03:23 |
| ubuntu-mate | Hmm... good call. The other thing I forgot to mention, is this is the live demo... not installed yet... but I have had this same issue with Linux Mint. | 03:23 |
| ubuntu-mate | (which is really frustrating)... I am trying to leave Windows behind. :P | 03:23 |
| ubuntu-mate | And I like Ubuntu... but hate the window controls on the left | 03:24 |
| ubuntu-mate | I'll try the full install and update and see if that fixes it (though it didn't for Linux Mint) | 03:24 |
| randall | well, the least painful way is vitalization, or maybe dual-booting | 03:24 |
| randall | virtualization | 03:24 |
| ubuntu-mate | I might just suck it up and do Ubuntu since it works. | 03:24 |
| randall | what ever works | 03:25 |
| ubuntu-mate | randall I have seen you answering questions on here before. Thanks for your efforts helping people get Linux working. | 03:25 |
| comptekki | linux mint could have different version of support for ntfs on live boot media | 03:25 |
| ubuntu-mate | You as well comptekki! Thanks. Yeah... I suspect. | 03:25 |
| ubuntu-mate | Guys thanks all for your help. I hope some day to have a good enough knowledge base to do the same for others. | 03:26 |
| randall | just keep learning | 03:26 |
| comptekki | over the last week i've tried to peg a distro - tried three or four and came back to ubuntu-mate because of nic/wireless, wake support and compiz support | 03:27 |
| ubuntu-mate | I really love it's polish!!! | 03:27 |
| ubuntu-mate | I am just so frustrated it failed me on harddisks... but I'll try to install it. | 03:27 |
| comptekki | others had problems of some sort on macbook pro hardware | 03:27 |
| ubuntu-mate | Self build here :) so who knows | 03:28 |
| ubuntu-mate | I absolutely love how Ubuntu-Mate and Linux-Mint have a link to a chat where you can commiserate with others. | 03:28 |
| comptekki | you can check which drivers are being used and update them on the live system, can't you - or is support only in kernel for file systems?? | 03:28 |
| ubuntu-mate | I honestly do not not. I am just introducing myself to Linux. I'll try an install and update everything I can | 03:29 |
| comptekki | or use hexchat ;) | 03:29 |
| comptekki | let me check on the ntfs process... | 03:29 |
| ubuntu-mate | okay | 03:29 |
| comptekki | it looks like FUSE (take a look with apt-cache search FUSE|grep ntfs) you can try and update libntfs-3g871 | 03:34 |
| comptekki | then you can unmount and mount again the partitions | 03:34 |
| ubuntu-mate | okay. I'll give that a shot. Thanks comtekki! | 03:35 |
| comptekki | sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libntfs-3g871 | 03:35 |
| ubuntu-mate | Thanks again! | 03:38 |
| comptekki | one way to check which you have installed: apt list --installed|grep ntfs | 03:38 |
| comptekki | the latest I have is: libntfs-3g871/yakkety,now 1:2016.2.22AR.1-3 amd64 [installed] | 03:38 |
| === aaron is now known as Guest33671 | ||
| Guest33671 | hey randall... installing it and not testing it on liveCD solved the problem... I also unplugged and replugged in the cables just in case. Either way all done! | 03:58 |
| Guest33671 | comptekki... I got errors when trying to update with the command you gave. | 03:58 |
| randall | oh good | 03:58 |
| Guest33671 | thanks again | 03:59 |
| randall | live environment is a wonderful thing, but it's only part of the real thing you get from installing it | 03:59 |
| comptekki | hmm. just tried it and it says: libntfs-3g871 is already the newest version (1:2016.2.22AR.1-3). | 04:02 |
| comptekki | glad it works now, anyway | 04:02 |
| randall | now if only there was a way to read ext-4 in windows | 04:03 |
| comptekki | randall, there is: google: read ext4 in windows | 04:04 |
| randall | oh, ok | 04:04 |
| randall | wow, I did not know this, but that would reqire installing this software on someoneelse's computer just to access my external hdd at their hpuse | 04:07 |
| comptekki | http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/ | 04:09 |
| randall | but if I were to make a habit out of that, it'd be better just to format the external in ntfs in the first place | 04:10 |
| comptekki | never tried any yet | 04:10 |
| randall | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-read-ext3ext4-linux-partition-from-windows-7.html | 04:10 |
| comptekki | or format fat32 if files aren't too big | 04:10 |
| randall | yeah | 04:10 |
| randall | but a way less invasive means woulld be a live usb of your distro of choice, boot into that, then do all the moving of files that way | 04:11 |
| randall | comptekki, you know the file size limot on fat32 off hand? | 04:12 |
| randall | limit | 04:13 |
| comptekki | 2gig file size max | 04:13 |
| randall | hmmm, too small if youre doing something like downloading windows installers from your gog and humble libraries so they can "try before they buy" | 04:14 |
| comptekki | i was thinking fat32 was 4gig - not sure why one place on web said 2 gig. Maybe format as exfat?? | 04:19 |
| randall | that could work | 04:20 |
| Astro7467 | fat32 file size limit is 4GB, can confirm cos I previously used external drives for media and my self imposed video limit was 4GB so I Cld place on external drives as needed | 04:26 |
| randall | oh, ok | 04:28 |
| comptekki | até logo | 04:45 |
| ivan_ | Some one could help to install pipe light | 04:53 |
| aaron_ | Hi ivan | 05:02 |
| aaron_ | I'm pretty new to pipe light... so I am not sure if I can be of any help | 05:02 |
| aaron_ | how knowledgeable are you? | 05:02 |
| aaron_ | It looks like they have a good tutorial on installing Pipe Light on YouTube (though the instructions are for Linux Mint). | 05:03 |
| aaron_ | Are you doing this so you can watch Netflix? | 05:03 |
| ivan_ | Yes but, i need to intall it through RPI3 | 05:07 |
| aaron_ | ahh. There you have me lost. :) I haven't done anything with that | 05:07 |
| aaron_ | You might try searching YouTube though | 05:08 |
| ivan_ | thnx | 05:09 |
