[14:34] <budo> can anyone help me?
[14:35] <diogenes_> !ask
[14:35] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[14:39] <budo> ok thank you
[14:40] <budo> my original files arent showing up when I start my computer. I am running lubuntu. what happened?
[14:40] <budo> like when i to go my home folder and documents and pictures none of my files is there
[14:41] <budo> and i know the hard drive isnt dead or else the bios would give me an error right
[14:42] <budo> anyway ill just wait til somebody gives me some response
[14:51] <tomreyn> budo: what do you mean by "original files"?
[14:52] <tomreyn> budo: this sounds like you recently installed lubuntu and now expected to find files you had previously stored somewhere (?) to be present on your home directory?
[14:52] <budo> my home folder
[14:52] <budo> no its not a recent install
[14:53] <budo> i was running it for about 2 years
[14:53] <budo> my external hard drive shows up in the desktop not my internal hard drive
[14:54] <budo> are there any unix experts in here?
[14:56] <diogenes_> budo, and what operations you usually have to do to get the files back?
[14:56] <lubot> Name was added by: Name
[15:00] <budo> well i dont know  thats why im here asking questions
[15:00] <budo> my xpad notes are the same
[15:00] <budo> but when i go to file folders my documents isnt in there
[15:01] <budo> i usually boot my computer and my documents/downloads, and home folder would be there
[15:01] <budo> thats how it always was
[15:01] <diogenes_> budo, ls /home
[15:03] <budo> ok i might have  ahint when i go to download file or ducments it says its not valid
[15:03] <budo> ok hold on
[15:16] <budo> u think i should run a file system correction?
[15:17] <budo> fsck -a /dev/sda1???
[15:19] <budo> linux runs well but once u run into a problem u dont know how to fix it unless u are a professional
[15:19] <budo> im done with linux
[15:20] <budo> this is too much

[15:21] <apt-ghetto> budo: Lubuntu is a Linux, not Unix
[15:21] <budo> yeah but ppl that knows unix usually knows linux too
[15:21] <budo> oh boy
