Ahh ...Entering other partitions trough file-manager [SOLVED]

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-20 22:32:30

Hi, I have Ubuntu, Windows and now Arch installed on my pc.
Through Ubuntu I can detect all partitions and write to them. I just go to Computer in the Nautilus file manager and I see the other partitions.

In Arch however my file-manager is pcmanfm and I don't know where the other partitions are located and how I can access them.

Sorry for the silly question but I really don't understand this :s

Is there any special folder in linux for this (excluding /media since I only find my 2 drives (DVD and CD))?

The other partitions should be in the column that has "File System", "$USER", "Desktop", and etc.

You have to mount them first - I'm guessing Ubuntu does that without telling you.

fdisk or cfdisk will tell you what partitions you have. Once you have the details, mount them anywhere you like.

Ok, now I have it mounted. However I copied the whole blender directory to my partition and if I do `ls ...` the files all show up but when I execute it it says `no such file or directory`.

I had used this command:
sudo cp -R /media/ubuntu/home/a/blender ~

Ubuntu provides auto-mounting, but actually its part of Gnome AFAICT, since I can use it with Arch as well.

Suggest you learn to command-line mount, first, or edit your fstab. Its more generally useful. If you really want Nautilus mounting (sorry, ever used PCManFM), I think gnome-volume-manager provides the behaviour you're looking for.

EDIT: This is what happens when I forget to click reply, someone replies first. Anyway, for the Blender problem, you probably don't have the requisite file set to executable, try

chmod +x ....

replacing ... with your file.

Yes, the problem is that the file already has those permissions and it still appears with the command ls but executing it I still get the same error (even after executing chmod just to make sure) :s

I think this Arch is crazy. Googled and found other user with the same problem when running varied executables.

Correct me if I'm wrong here: you've copied a folder from your ubuntu $HOME into your Arch $HOME, and now you want to execute something in that folder. Are you using the full path to the command? Or have you added the blender folder to your path?

If you think Arch is crazy that's fine - you're entitled to your opinion. Just consider the fact that there are thousands of happy Arch users who disagree with you.

is hal running?

is your /home partition mounted with the 'noexec' option?

If you have the GNOME/KDE it can mount it automatically.

Just need fam and hal daemons..

anyway to mount partitions/drives/devices you just need to know about the command "mount"
the devices are on /dev

just do something like
sudo mkdir /media/mynewpen
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mynewpen (note: you can read more about the /dev/sd<somethinghere> by reading the mount/umount manual)

and voilá
got the new pen mounted(accessible) in /media/mynewpen

You can make it like Ubuntu, but as I'm using KDE and not GNOME, I can't tell you how (I guess this is on the wiki):

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-21 16:11:09

I had alraeady mounted the drive the problem is that executing the file doesn't work ( it gives the "No such file or directory" error ).

I have started HAL but isn't this to mount partitions/drives? Anyway it doesn't make a diference.

Now about noexec? I copied the folder to /usr/blender and nothing

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-21 16:17:26

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB SSSSSSSSSSSSSSoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY

I hadn't used Arch for some months and I forgot that I had installed the 64 bit version!!!!

I'm so sorry

Thanks for the help

Now my only problem is that I have python 2.6 and blender wants the 2.5 version (cannot find libpython2.5.so.1.0)............arrhgghghh how do I downgrade?

blender is in the Arch repos, built against python 2.6, so you should use that. Running binaries from one distro in another is never a good idea.

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-21 21:17:51

I get this error with the repos version>

blender: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems you have found a bug - a missing dependency, in this case. libGLU is provided by mesa, so blender should depend on mesa. To get it going right no, install mesa, but you should also report it on the bugtracker.

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-22 12:52:39

Thanks , that solved it!

ngoonee · 2009-04-22 22:42:30

That's great. If your issues on auto-mount are also solved, perhaps you could edit your OP and mark the thread [SOLVED]?

Alberto Ferreira · 2009-04-23 16:22:34

I would like to but I have a big problem with keyboard layout

In the terminal my layout is set to "pt_PT.utf8" in /etc/rc.conf and works just fine, however I have put this layout in the Xorg.config and the keyboard layout isn't right :S (so there are a lot of characters I cannot access like the square brackets from the GUI session (startx))

tomk · 2009-04-24 06:00:52

You should start a new thread. The issue described in the title of this thread is solved.

For xorg keyboard layouts see /usr/share/xkb/symbols for the names that you can use in xorg.conf. I'm guessing yours would be just "pt". People are right in saying that you should start a second thread for it though.

Ok, thanks everyone
