[03:16] <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?
[03:17] <ubuntu-mate> nobody? :_(
[03:18] <randall> what do you mean, ubuntu does?
[03:19] <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?
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <randall> well, if snandard ubuntu can mount and access them, than it's probably not a simple fix if ubuntu mate can not
[03:22] <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?
[03:23] <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
[03:24] <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.
[03:25] <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.
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <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??
[03:29] <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
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <ubuntu-mate> okay. I'll give that a shot. Thanks comtekki!
[03:35] <comptekki> sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libntfs-3g871
[03:38] <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]
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <randall> now if only there was a way to read ext-4 in windows
[04:04] <comptekki> randall, there is: google: read ext4 in windows
[04:04] <randall> oh, ok
[04:07] <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
[04:09] <comptekki> http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/
[04:10] <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
[04:11] <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
[04:12] <randall> comptekki, you know the file size limot on fat32 off hand?
[04:13] <randall> limit
[04:13] <comptekki> 2gig file size max
[04:14] <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"
[04:19] <comptekki> i was thinking fat32 was 4gig - not sure why one place on web said 2 gig.  Maybe format as exfat??
[04:20] <randall> that could work
[04:26] <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
[04:28] <randall> oh, ok

[04:53] <ivan_> Some one could help to install pipe light
[05:02] <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?
[05:03] <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?
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <aaron_> You might try searching YouTube though
[05:09] <ivan_> thnx

[11:54] <SuperEngineer> update it if needed, then use it - try it - like it.  then reboot it, check that all is cool and which, if any settings you want to change.
[11:54] <SuperEngineer> oh, and donate of course ;-)
[11:56] <SuperEngineer> [but step 0 has been done, finding #ubuntu-mate, welcome]
[11:58] <SuperEngineer> [& then you had to go step -1... not having patiene, and leaving before being replied to] DOH!
