Re: Kubuntu not seeing hard drives: Gnome does

[floydsp]

The very same thing happened to me...I have win 7 on 1 drive and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid along with
Kubuntu 10.04 mounted on another drive. I can mount and get data from Ubuntu but not Kubuntu.

Anyone know how to fix this

this is what etc\fstab\ reports

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Re: Kubuntu not seeing hard drives: Gnome does

Open a Konsole window and enter these:

sudo fdisk -lu

sudo blkid

If you get lists of partitions and their UUIDs, then your partitions and drives are "seen", they just aren't mounted in /media like they did in Gnome. It's not a big deal to set them up to mount automatically, by editing /etc/fstab. There are a zillion threads on this forum and Ubuntu forum on that topic.
