[ubuntu] Unable to mount location / No Internet

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a two part problem which I can't really resolve with fixing the other first. Part 1 is what I will hopefully get resolved here before getting part 2 resolved in another section (unless people are feeling extra supportive :) ) Issue: I recently got my internet back at home so I know that there a LOT of updates to perform to my system (Ubuntu 9.04). For some reason I cannot get onto my network when I could a week or so ago (can always transfer data back and forth :P). I know that I could resolve this issue by a number of means. I decided that I would try a Live test and see if I could get online with the disc and maybe rule out something I might have done. Another option would be to install my DLink Wireless Adapter under Wine to get online and resolve the issue before breaking down for a new network card. Upon inserting a CD into my drive and going to Computer I get the following error: Unable to mount location No media in the drive I find it pretty disheartening that two major aspects of my computer broke down around the same time. I would really appreciate any assistance in finding a cause for this and a fix. Thanks, M (Hardware)

Unable to mount location Can anyone help with this please?

Since recently installing 12.04 from a downloaded live CD onto my desktop computer, I have been unable to re-establish a network connection with my other local computer in Nautilus.

[ubuntu] Unable to mount DVD-R 26 weeks 3 days ago

In 12.10, any time I put a DVD-R in my disc drive I'm presented with this prompt:

I'm trying to mount an .iso image to a disc with Furius ISO mount, but the disc drive is not recognized in the program and I have to assume it's because of this issue. I've tried watching standard DVDs and haven't had a problem with them, so it seems to only be problematic with DVD-R.

I have a network drive (external network) being used as media storage for a media server running on my router. I'm trying to switch the media server to my Centos 6.3 machine so I can take advantage of ffmpeg and more (unrelated)..

All I'm wondering here is why my Centos server can't resolve the host name for the drive while my laptop running Ubuntu can on the same network.

So as the title says - I have bind9 failing to resolve every few days. I could be sitting there browsing the web, and all of a sudden, I cant get to pages. I can ping via IP, but I cant resolve any external dns. Now that I think of it, I think I can resolve internal DNS. I'd have to double check if the issue comes back.

So far its happened twice inside of a week.

Something kinda weird appened to me today.

I've been using Ubuntu for month on my computer without any issue but today I decided to install Windows 7 on dual boot so that my GF can use Photoshop... Of course I had issue installing windows so I had to hard reboot it.

After doing this, Ubuntu could not activate my network card and failed to connect to my network(rebooting didn't do anything).

I'm relatively new to Linux. My netbook ran updates yesterday for Ubuntu and now I am unable to reconnect to wireless network connection. I am using WPA2 encrypted security. I am able to connect via wired LAN.

I have successfully installed Ubuntu on my Compaq presario CQ60 beside my windows vista, so, in the first time worked fine and I had a some difficulties trying to connect to my Internet connection, so I decided to restart the system because I thoaght that it will resolve my problem, but when I restarted it the system cant find the wireless card and dont recognise it, I have searched alot in the we

The way my computer is set up is I have my original 200 gig hard drive, from when I built my computer, with just about nothing but the operating system on it. Then I have a secondary 1.5 terabyte hard drive that I use for storing media and other files. It mounted fine a few months ago with 9.04, but it randomly decided to stop grating me access to the disk.
