[13:34] help [13:35] Why do drives not show up? [14:15] studio-user525, depends with what hardware, and what ubuntu version. as of 16.04 there is no fglrx any more [14:38] Thank you for that, but what about minimum RAM? Must it use 64bit and at least x GB of RAM? [14:39] 2 Gb will do, more ram is more fun. [14:43] Wow, that's fantastic. FYI, I have a Sony Vaio VGC RA834G -- it has all the bells and whistle studio would love, it's just the Card Reader and the other SATA HD only shows up in File Manager, not in the Devices List. [14:45] I should add, I downloaded the Drivers from the Sony Support Site, but they are ".exe" Is there another way to update drivers? [14:46] studio-user525, not sure about this, did you check with a SDcard inserted? [15:26] Sorry, for the delay. Checked different SD cards and even FlashCards and the same thing... Nada... [16:36] studio-user525: If it shows up in the file browser and you can see it's contents... then it is there. What devices list are you talking about? (my answer may be a while as I am on my way out the door. [17:15] Sorry for any confusion, but using Ubuntu Studio, 32bit, with 2.8 GB Ram, I have a SATA Hard Drive added to the "C" Drive (SATA 0), via SATA 1 and it was there and was utilized numerous times. Then, it only shows up when I use a GSmartControl. Not at all in "Devices" panel. [17:37] studio-user525: no such thing as a "C" drive. Unix, Linux, Osx all mount the drive as part of the file system. The file manager should show you were the device is mounted. (generally /media/$USER/partition_id_or_name) [17:38] studio-user525: dos is the only system that has the idea of keeping all devices separately... and windows is built on dos. [17:40] studio-user525: this begs the question of why you feel the need to address this as a device. Are you trying to access it from the commandline? [18:11] studio-user525: if you must have the actual device for formating it, gparted is a good tool for such things as repartitioning/formating. in the end, if you must know the device name, run dmesg right after plugging it in. The last few lines will have something like: [ 972.752907] sdb: sdb1 [18:12] studio-user525: this means the device is /dev/sdb and it has one partition on it /dev/sdb1 [18:15] studio-user525: A device that use logical partitions will show like: [ 1.791379] sda: sda1 < sda5 sda6 > with the logical partitions in <>. [20:57] hi [20:58] somebody?
