<0> ok so anyweb said i make it slow but im busy right now im sowwy
<1> I am on a Live CD Linux called Feather, which is a Knoppix remaster
<2> not your fault, its camarades fault
<2> pix2iii: cool
<1> I am trying to access files in my somewhat messed up hd install
<0> ah well im too hot for camarades! LOL
<1> but I'm not able to find the hd
<3> Im on a 3ft rotating green phalix !
<1> what is the path to my linux partition on my hd?
<2> /dev/hda usually
<1> webany, thanks
<2> or /dev/sda if scsi
<2> or sata
<1> ok, I think it's ide
<1> looking in dev, there's 'tons' of hd looking icons...
<1> is that strange?
<2> no, it's normal
<2> what are you trying to do
<1> I was told in the Feather 'official forum' to replace two specific files
<0> #chatlounge
<1> I have messed up my Window Manager
<1> hmm, Roxfiler says, "I don't know how to open hda", and the same for hda1 to hda7...
<0> thanks babe
<2> no problemo babe
<4> if you no long have sendmail installed and you have postfix installed and a script that sends mail calls for /usr/sbin/sendmail what path do you use?
<0> hahaha
<0> are you watching me
<1> I'm clicking on hd looking icons called hda ... hda16, then hdb .. hdb7
<1> etc.
<1> it seems I get the same message, "don't know how to open..."
<5> hda16? o0
<1> yeah, the last hda is hda24
<1> I also have hdh24, and everything inbetween
<6> pix2iii: those are just references to possible devices..
<6> they arent actually always in use
<1> alright
<1> thanks
<6> pix2iii: if you do: fdisk -l /dev/hda
<6> you will see a list of the partitions
<1> I have to hd's, one with 1 partition, the other with 3
<6> pix2iii: you can do: fdisk -l
<6> and it will list all the hard disks
<1> ok, I'll start the console, 1 sec..
<0> znx
<6> hello supababe :)
<6> :o
<7> fdisk, the best tool ever
<8> Blimey.
<1> fdisk says, "canntot open /dev/hda", "cannot open /dev/hdb"
<1> off topic, is fdisk the same fdisk then as I have in dos? just wondering
<2> no
<2> it's not
<1> ok, thanks :)
<2> fdisk -l
<2> will show you your hard disc setup
<7> I can't get xmame to go fullscreen man.
<7> What gives.
<1> yeah, I did "fdisk -l" already, I got the "Cannot open.." reply
<1> so what does that mean?
<5> are you running this as root?
<6> pix2iii: yeah you need to be root
<6> do:
<1> oh, sorry.. no I wan't
<6> su -
<1> 'wasn't
<6> then type root p***word
<6> :)
<1> I'm there, now I got results :)
<6> those are the partitions that you can "mount" to your system
<1> what am I looking for?
<1> ok
<6> then you can view their contents :)
<1> ok, under the "Boot" heading there are "*" for some of the listed hd's
<1> those are mountable then?
<1> Roxfiler says the same, "Don't know how to open" when I click on those with a "*" after their name...
<7> Those are bootable partitions
<1> ahh, ok
<5> what are they formatted with? NTFS?
<1> thanks
<1> no
<1> fat 32, one with fat16 even
<1> I have one linux partition
<1> darn, :) it says in the System column what is Linux of these :)
<1> I'll try that, 1 sec..
<1> ...still the same message :-|
<1> hdb3 was listen as Linux partition
<1> but I clicked on that in Roxfiler, and got a popup message saying "I don't know how to open hdb3"
<1> is that very strange?
<6> pix2iii: no you dont click on /dev/hdb3
<6> it doesnt work like that
<1> ok
<6> the /dev is just a reference for the device
<6> it needs to be "mounted"
<1> ok
<6> then you can view its contents
<6> so do this
<6> ls -l /mnt
<1> btw., I did "sudo su", no su and p***word
<6> what is in there?
<6> yeah ok
<1> sudo su is equally fine?
<7> sudo sudo sudo
<6> pix2iii: you should: sudo su -
<1> ok, I didn't know
<6> thats ok :)
<1> do I exit?
<6> nah its ok for now
<1> ok
<6> its just that missing out the - doesnt set the root shell up perfectly :)
<1> ok
<6> but its enough for us right now
<6> ok
<6> ls -l /mnt
<1> ok, 1 sec
<6> what is inside that directory
<8> Yes.
<6> what kut?
<8> A monitor.
<6> ehh
<0> anyweb rules
<6> :p
<6> beer rules!
<6> anyweb is a poor second ;)
<1> I have a list, each row begins with "drwxr-xr-x"
<1> then, either "2 root", or "1 root"
<6> pix2iii: read the entries at the end ..
<6> like cdrom disk ./.
<0> hahaha errr..
<0> anyweb rules
<6> :p
<6> that being BEER!
<6> no anyweb in site :P
<6> *sight!
<6> ehhe
<1> yeah, it says, "auto", "cdrom", "cdrom1", "floppy", "hd", "hda1", "hdb1", "hdb3", "hdb5", "pts", "sys", "test"
<6> pix2iii: ok so
<6> mount /mnt/hdb3 that should do it
<1> ok, thanks, 1 sec ...
<0> well he is a champ being up there
<6> ;)
<0> missing me loads
<1> I entered "mount /mnt/hdb3"
<1> I'll try opening the hdb3 in Roxfiler...
<6> no
<1> ok
