[SOLVED] Kubuntu 7.10 LiveCD i386 and x64

[Berton]

Neither version of the LiveCD will allow the contents of an internal NTFS HDD to be seen. When trying to mount gives the message hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999.

It does allow seeing an external USB vFAT HDD [FAT32].

No problem with Ubuntu.

• Go to console: (CTR+ALT+F1) or (Launch Konsole)
• cd /media
• sudo mkdir sda1
• sudo mount /dev/sda1 sda1

If not sda1 replace with sda2
If not a partition on sda replace sda1 with sdb1
If it is external via USB it is probably sdc1

That is a known issue with Kubntu's LiveCDs. The method mentioned above may work, never have tried it from a LiveCD so I can't say for sure. It would require you to know how the system identified the internal HD. I can say that it appears that HH (8.04) will correct this. I only recommend using it to test basic functions of Kubuntu as this is still in Alpha, but the last release of 8.04 did auto-mount my NTFS file systems rather nicely.

Kubuntu Live CD works fine with a USB HDD.

Guess I'll have to put up with Ubuntu until the next version of Kubuntu.

You can still download the LiveCD for 8.04. I was amazed with this Alpha and how much really worked right off. No, I wouldn't install it right yet, but this LiveCD will really let you see what Kubuntu has to offer - not that I'm pushing it .

Me too!

But, I was rash and installed it anyway, and then installed KDE 4 on top of HH. Amazingly, it all mostly works -- haven't had any real problems at all. Only Flash is broken (but isn't it usually?).

Oh, btw, stay away from System Settings -- there are better ways to do most of that stuff anyway.

That's what I want to hear because as soon as 8.04 is out in KDE4 fashion, all of my systems are being redone from ground up!

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 LiveCD i386 and x64

I can see some people are putting a [SOLVED] or *Solved* tag in their subject when the problem is solved. Why is this tag so rare?

How to tag:
The author of the thread, must modify the first message by manually editing the subject title.

Of course.. I don't know if the author of this thread is satisfied with the answer ;-)

I think the [SOLVED] tag in the subject title would make the forum system more efficient for helping people who need help.

To all thread authors, consider using this tag. You can always start a new thread being more specific about an unanswered question, which rarely is the same as the original subject title.

I got the download but haven't had time to burn the CD and try it yet, ergo no Solved tag from me.

Not to worry. gnowak got a little 'post happy' recently.
