Hi Folks, There's a thread on the Zen Support Forum, Linux Division, with title "Setting screen res in Ubuntu 7.04". The start of the thread is at
http://forum.zensupport.co.uk/thread/27097.aspx
The topic has somewhat moved on from that, and the OP (Ken Odlum)'s problem is now that, using Ubuntu, while he apparently has two hard disks, one of which he can use normally, he can only read from the other and not write to it. This problem is first mentioned at
http://forum.zensupport.co.uk/27097/27130/permalink/ShowThread.aspx#27130
and followed up at
http://forum.zensupport.co.uk/27097/27151/permalink/ShowThread.aspx#27151
I ("eelman") intervened acouple of posts later, with suggestions 'cat /etc/fstab' etc. It seems he's dome this, and now
http://forum.zensupport.co.uk/27097/27219/permalink/ShowThread.aspx#27219
he says "If I go to Places Computer it shows the other hard drive and I can mount it and read or copy from it OK" despite the fact that it's not in /etc/fstab.
The only thing I can think of is that when he does that, whetever Ubuntu does behind the scenes amounts to an explicit
mount -t ... /dev/hdb* /...
command. But, not having any Ubuntu eperience, I simply don't know.
If anyone can make a useful suggestio I could pass on, or better still is on the Zen Support Forum and can intervene directly, this would be welcome. The guy is a relatively recent convert to Linux, and I wouldn't like his faith to be compromised!
Best wishes to all, Ted.
