Hi all,

This is my first post in quite some time. And full disclosure, I'm no longer a Ubuntu user, though I fondly remember the days working with Edgy, Feisty, Intrepid, and a couple other...

Same problem here, except I have a System76 laptop running Jaunty. Everything was flawless while I was using the 64-bit version of Jaunty, and in Intrepid, with regards to cards and flash drives....

Thanks, Arup! Talk about synchronicity at work! I tried the very thing you suggested right before I saw your reply and it solved the problem (at least with a test call---I'll find out for sure when I...

I'm having the exact same problem, and it's pretty frustrating seeing as I rely on Skype to stay in touch with family back home. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi ariel,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! This sounds easy enough. At the end of the day, a higher bit-rate means more to me than audio format (as long as it's not .wma:)). Thanks again!

Hi ariel,

OK, I did some quick research and I've got the script working. Thanks again! It's a very useful tool. One question, however...

Being a bit of an audio snob, I'd like to have my files...

Hi ariel,

First off, thanks! This looks like a great script and a tool that I'd use often. However, how do I get to the point where I can select it under scripts after right-clicking? What do I...

Thanks a lot DSK!

Though I had neither "Mic Sele" nor the "Analog M" in alsamixer, I used your post as a stepping stone for tweaking my settings and was able to get my mic working quickly. Many...

Hi weverjames,

I had the same issue. I also have a Gazelle Value (gazp5), and a while back I went through a period of 'distro-hopping,' where I tried several other distros (both as a live version...

Hi there, platinummonkey,

Alas, still no luck. Neither this one:


nor this one (as hairyhi mentioned above):



worked for me. I still get the same old "unable to unmount the selected...

Hi again platinummonkey,

Thanks for that info on groups.

Unfortunately, that potential fix didn't do the trick. It took a few minutes after I entered it in the terminal, but when I tried to...

Thanks yet again, platinummonkey!

This may be a dumb question, but in the command



what is my group? I don't think I've run into that before.

Muchos gracias!

platinummonkey, you rock!:D

Success! I can now read and write to my drive!:guitar:

I cannot thank you (and szaka) enough for all your help. I hope that one day I can get to where I can help a...

Hi platinummonkey,

Thanks for that last post and for including the link to szaka's guide (thanks, szaka);)

Everything went smoothly until, after I downloaded and extracted the newest fuse, I...

hey platinummonkey,

As to your last question, the "atm" in 'atm-laptop' doesn't stand for Texas A&M, but are my initials. My alma mater is UNC-Greensboro, but I do have Texas ties in that my...

Thanks for your input, szaka and platinummonkey! Your help has been invaluable!:)

I'm in the midst of trying to upgrade ntfs-3g to the newest version. I have the newest fuse, and I have downloaded...

Thanks platinummonkey and szaka,

But still no progress. Here's what a got via the terminal:



:( I'm really at a loss as to what to do next. All of my USB devices are currently unusable....

Well, it was a no-go. Here's my terminal output:



Any ideas? Thanks again in advance!

Okay, thanks very much (again)!

I have all (or at least 97%) of my files backed up on DVDs, so this is a risk I'm willing to take. I will try it out and report back. Cheers!

Thanks again, platinummonkey...

I read through the manual found in man mount, and, well, it didn't make a whole lot of sense to this newbie. Using your advice, here is my terminal output:

platinummonkey:

Thanks for the idea, but I don't have XP on my machine anymore, having taken the full-Linux plunge about 2 weeks ago. Could it be that the old windows log file that you mentioned...

Thanks a lot platinummonkey,

However, I've run into more problems. After setting the mount point, I then tried to mount the device. Here's my terminal output:

atm@atm-laptop:~$ sudo mount...

Hi platinummonkey,

Thanks for the tip on using sudo rather than gksu.

However, I'm still stuck on one thing (bear with me here, as I'm still a newbie).... what name shall I choose as a mount...

Hi Givre et al,

I'm pretty much still a newbie to Ubuntu and to Linux. I have a Western Digital 80 GB External Hard Drive which I'm trying to use. I've been able to access its files in the past,...
