Okay, I have ubuntu running on this computer. First off, how would I find system info on it, are there any programs like Everest? How would I find my CPU clock, RAM... video card... etc..

Second, I have all my music on a Windows XP HDD, how do I play it from Linux?

I will ask more questions when I have them...

In the terminal...

cat /proc/cpuinfo - will give you all the info about your CPU.

cat /proc/partitions - will give you all the info about your volumes.

df - will give you all the info about your disk usage.

lspci - will give you all the info about everything else.


In the terminal as root...

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /path/to/wherever - will mount your Windows drive to /path/to/wherever, so that the music can be found in /path/to/wherever.

Hahah, I don't speak linux yet, but I'll try this out.

Wish me luck.

I don't know how to be root. I don't know if I set up a root or something like that...

The other stuff worked though.

Type su and hit enter. Type in your root password (it will NOT show up as you type it), hit enter, and it will bring you back to a command line. Congrats. You're root. To stop being root, type exit and hit enter.

"su: Authentication failure
Sorry.
deathawk@deathawk-desktop:~$"

=(

[The General]

sudo -i and then type your password.

Ubuntu :mad:

"root@deathawk-desktop:~# mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /path/to/wherever
mount: mount point /path/to/wherever does not exist"


Also, I keep getting this "Low Disk Space 99%" thing on the bottom right...

Also, my clock on the top right is ****ing me off.. I keep setting it to the right time, but then it changes back..

And now, I can't even edit the time...

"Failed to run time-admin

Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."

Also.. seems like I get that error for a lot of thigns.. it might be my HDD space..

Yup, it says my root volume has 0 free bytes.. what can I do to fix it..?

[The General]

/path/to/wherever doesn't exist, you were supposed to pick a path to wherever you want it mounted. Usually /media/windows or something like that.

You'll need to mkdir /media/windows first, so that the mount point exists.

[Deathawk]

"The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "windows"."

RAWR!!!

And jesus christ, this
"Failed to run time-admin

Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." error is really starting to get on my nerves.. XD
