Bashing-om: could you rephrase what you said earlier: Kist for general principles etc...
Bashing-om 2017-02-25 20:47:12
azizLIGHT: Recall I did suppose that we would have to re-install the driver " not a big deal " :)
azizLIGHT 2017-02-25 20:48:31
i want to install nvidia-358
azizLIGHT 2017-02-25 20:48:42
i know it works
azizLIGHT 2017-02-25 20:49:30
can i do that one specifically? if so, how
Bashing-om 2017-02-25 21:04:06
azizLIGHT: I would prefer to work from that normal terminal rather than the root shell . What desktop are we working with ?
azizLIGHT 2017-02-25 21:04:33
Bashing-om: I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.5 x64
Bashing-om 2017-02-25 21:05:56
azizLIGHT: Boot back into that normal terminal and there what results ' sudo service lightdm start ' ?
azizLIGHT 2017-02-25 21:07:26
Job failed to start
Bashing-om 2017-02-25 21:12:38
azizLIGHT: Pastebin ' sudo lshw -C display ' . I bet we see " unclaimed " .

!fstab | w0rlock

w0rlock: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions
w0rlock 2017-02-25 21:20:31
Within fstab i am only seeing /dev/sda1 not the other 5 drives attached to the PC.
Bashing-om 2017-02-25 21:20:38
azizLIGHT: Correct . maybe just a small matter to fix the GUI . But I must quit . Just to tired now to think clearly .
auronandace 2017-02-25 21:20:51
w0rlock: you need to add them to your /etc/fstab
w0rlock 2017-02-25 21:21:16
It seems on start up the automatcailly get mounted to /media/myname/drivename
w0rlock 2017-02-25 21:21:22
But not mentioned in fstab
