New install xbmc live dharma - Paulkai - 2010-12-28 Hi guys I downloaded latest version dharma live and installed it from DVD all worked well, my problem is I had win 7 on this previous with four internal 1tb hdd which where easy to add as a source, how do I do this with the live version?? When I go to add source I used to see my drives eg e, f etc but in live I don't seem to be able to do this, any help would be appreciated. First time using live Paul - arad85 - 2010-12-28 You will need to mount them. I haven't read this in detail, but it looks like what you need to do from a brief skim read (i.e. determine which /dev/sda they are and then edit fstab to mount them). http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ You will then need to add them via add sources to wherever you have mounted the drives. - Steve122 - 2010-12-28 Hey You have to change the /etc/fstab file and mount the disks. When XBMC ist startet hold down STRG+ALT+F1 for 5 seconds to start the command promt or login from another machine using a SSH client (like putty). Login with your username and password you set during the installation. Than you will see something like this: Code: login as: xbmc now type: Code: sudo fdisk -l you have to reenter your password again. this shows you your hdds. now edit the fstab to automount the harddrives you want. Code: sudo nano /etc/fstab there add the drives you want with the choosen mountpoints. For example: Code: /dev/sdb2 /media/data2 ntfs default 0 0 Close the editor with STRG+X and override the file. Now type Code: sudo mount -a to mount them. P.S. Don't forget to creat the directory where you want to mount the disk before you try to mount them. Re new install - Paulkai - 2010-12-29 Thanks for prompt reply,I will try this but I'm new to live hopefully it will work Re install - Paulkai - 2010-12-29 Hi Steve Afraid I'm totally lost first time with Linux I get as far Sudo fdisk -1 After that all I get Is fsdisk -1 invalid option. Coming from windows where it's very easy to mount the drives I find this very hard hope you can shed some light for a numpty Paul - Aenima99x - 2010-12-29 Paulkai Wrote:Hi Steve it's not a "1" it's an"l" (lowercase "L) - Paulkai - 2010-12-29 Re install given up tonight. I have no glue how to mount the disks in xbmc live it's very different from windows, a few points what is STRG and also you say Don't forget to creat the directory where you want to mount the disk before you try to mount it, can I just name it movies?? Paul - Steve122 - 2011-01-03 Oh sorry for the STRG, I think ist must be CTRL in english. ;p You can chose the directory name for your own for sure. - mugencivic - 2011-01-04 Steve122 Wrote:Hey Thanks for that, works great for me. - Hannes The Hun - 2011-01-04 as he installed XBMC live, wouldn't it be easier (if also somewhat a little insecure) to just remove nodiskmount from GRUB line? http://boshdirect.com/blogs/tech/set-xbmc-to-automount-drives.html of course it's much more "cleaner" to do this via fstab, particularly if the mounting problems from lucid (as mentioned in the linked blog article) are still there. |
