Linux Archive - Boot process

Thanks, but just for the record Joshua O'Leary. I've read that only
older versions of Upstart run scripts under /etc/event.d, current
versions seems to use /etc/init
I haven't tested this, but since I made a quick search and can't find
/etc/event.d path, it looks true.
Anyway i like that approach of starting up in command line mode. I'll
keep looking.

Cheers.

you could try "sudo umount /media/Linux && sudo mount --unhide /dev/sr0"
(run that from Terminal without quotes)

I tried that and got the message unmount: /media/Linux: not found.

The inittab option would be the best, although since Ubuntu uses upstart and does not use /etc/inittab, you would edit /etc/event.d/rc-default instead

Likely, you will need to either look for a PDF file somewhere on the
CD (possibly not in the Linux folder) or go to Samsung's site and look
up the documentation there. Usually, the CD only contains Windows
drivers/software and sometimes Mac. Depending on the manufacturer,
they may put Linux ppd files on the CD or other software, or more
often they either put it on on their website or submit it to CUPS to
be included with their driver set.

Just because it is Linux compatible doesn't mean they will make it
easy on you :)

Preston, how right you are. I went to their site and found a PDF version
of the manual and I gather that, if I need them, drivers are there also.

Subject: [xubuntu-users] How to get Btrfs on 2nd partition of USB HDD
to automount as read/write
Message-ID: <20120817190706.C26C8A6E3F@smtp.hushmail.com>

Hello,

The following is based on
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043016

I have a user with an Xubuntu 12.04.1 laptop, 32-bit. He needs to
use a USB hard disk drive which has 2 partitions: the 1st
partition is NTFS and the 2nd partition is Btrfs.

When he plugs in the hard drive, both partitions auto-mount OK,
except that the Btrfs partition automounts read-only. That is, the
permissions of the directories in /dev are drwx------ for the NTFS
and dr-xr-xr-x for the Btrfs.

How can the OS be set up so that the Btrfs will automount
read/write?

The "dmesg" command shows the following on plug-in of the drive:

Neither the "usbmount" nor "pmount" packages are installed, but
"thunar-volman" is installed. I did install "pmount" only to find
that it appears to be meant to be invoked manually, so I un-
installed it again.

"uname -rv" reports:

3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:04:05 UTC 2012

The "groups" command shows that the user is a member of the
following (in addition to a group named after his username):

adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo dip video plugdev fuse
lpadmin sambashare

The "mount" command shows for the Btrfs partition in question:

/dev/sdb2 on /media/[partition_label] type btrfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)

(I have substituted [partition_label] for the partition label,
which is all letters, no punctuation marks.)

Because "mount" shows "rw", does that mean that it is the
configuration of Btrfs, not the configuration of automounting, that
is at issue?

I appreciate any help.

Is the model of the OP's printer listed in the Ubuntu printer setup? I
just installed a Lexmark printer and found it listed in the stock
printer setup routine. It printed a test page perfectly. That's about as
easy as it gets. I didn't need no stinkin' CD at all. Ric
