Hi all,


This is a noobish question, I know, but I just cant't find anything about it on the interwebz or this forum.

I just installed 11.04, and like it so far. However, I installed a couple...

Hey thx, but that's an old version, right? Older than the .exe file for windows? Because if that's true, I'd rather just use the exe version in a VM

Well since upgrading to 10.10 I haven't had any problems, thanks for the replies though!

I use the program Gmail Backup www.gmail-backup.com/, been using it for 2 years now. It's not updated since 2009, but it does the job.

Sounds great! Are you buying it now tuahaa? I don't need to buy a new laptop right now, so I would like to hear from you when you get it :)

I plan on buying this as well - sounds discomforting about the GPU-problem, anybody now more about this?

Tuahaa: Could you post a link that says anything about that problem?

I FINALLY got it working!

In the end, it was so simple... I was so focused on a very technical solution, that I hadn't thought of something very simple: I started a livesession with the normal...

Just googled to figure out what AHCI was - and it doesn't seem like there is anything about it in my BIOS? It's a Asus M4A79T deluxe motherboard.

thx for your reply, but as I wrote, I already did that :)

I have the same problem. I found this on launchpad:

It is apparently a problem in Nautilus only, I installed pcman and all the HDDs show up. Also, in Nautilus' "browse" folder, the HDDs show up, so it must be something with Elementary.

Hi,

I updated to 10.04 at beta 2 - however, in 9.10 my unmounted extra-hard disks would show up in nautilus 'places' menu for easy, non-root mounting.

In 10.04, they don't. I can mount them...

Nope - I have Firestarter installed, but it's not running. I don't think there is anything running in the background, like iptables or something.
