[14:34] <budo> can anyone help me?
[14:35] <diogenes_> !ask
[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?
[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
[15:20] <budo> what channel is the top unix experts at
[15:20] <diogenes_> budo, ok, good luck with wondows then :)
[15:20] <diogenes_> windows*
[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
