What is the emoticon for tears? Tears of joy, that is. The problem must have been with the firewall. I had installed Firestarter not long after getting Ubuntu up and running. What can I say, I come from Microsoft.
I could almost laugh. I uninstall firestarter, go back to the SB, go through network set up, whoo hooo, I am connected to SS. First thing I do is try and play something. Can't play file, problem with file. Back to the PC, rescan music library (BTW, this comes from problems that recur with XP and SS), and lose all my music. OK dumba**, your external drive is off. Turn on drive, scan library, "opps, /media/SimpleDrive/music is not a valid directory". So those of you that worked through the last thread with me already know what happened. I have to go unmount, and re-mount with command line bukharin gave me. Now all is good, closer yet to full migration to Linux, I can use my SB. So this is exactly what bukharin was saying was the problem with his command line, it does nothing to fix the automount issue with Ubuntu 6.10. Maybe time to do as stroom suggested and upgrade to 7.04. But how much of a s**t would I feel like if I had to come back again after an upgrade and start all over with you kind people. Now on to my next issue with Ubuntu, hot-syncing with my palm! My sincerest thanks to all of you for your help. -- mgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10308 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35417 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
