Check fstab text file in /etc to see if drives appear on that list.

How To View & Read Linux Log Files

12:12 PM

Most Linux log files are stored in a plain ASCII text file and are in the /var/log directory and subdirectory. Logs are generated by the Linux system daemon log, syslogd or rsyslogd.

Does it work with IDE Iomega zip drives?
https://disboard.org/servers/tag/tech-support

I'm unable to get a IDE to USB adapter to see my IDE Iomega zip drive in Ubuntu.
I would look at resource management.
I use a trackpad instead of a mouse, and I use Ubuntu, so I guess I wouldn't know.
Ubuntu is better than all the Windows.
I know people say Linux is harder to use.
You can do anything via Linux. The hard part is that newbies don't know where to begin.

I was into Windows and Apple but then started getting into Linux in 2007.

You can game via Linux. Many options for GUI.

Is Linux off-topic in this Discord server?

Yes and many Linux and Unix based operating systems run servers, as in giant server farms, in many countries.

I use Ubuntu Mate 16.04.

Many distros or user interfaces (UI) can be customized. Many are very similar to what you see in Windows.

I've never done dual boot and I am not sure if I would want to.

If I'm distracting the conversation, let me know.

For the past 3 days, I've been unable to see my IDE Iomega zip drive via my IDE to USB adapter on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 laptop. It might be that the adapter doesn't do ATAPI2. Some people say it should work since the drive is IDE. But then again, it is specifically ATAPI2.

Is the Ubuntu Phone no longer being developed? Sad face. I am thinking of getting an unlocked phone and putting a OS onto it. But not Android. Still haven't decided which one I might try.

I started using the Internet, well more often that is, probably in 1998. I was 13. The Internet was so new to me back then.

Why would or how could rooting a phone be illegal? Whatever happen to my body my choice and private property rights?

Does anybody know if Iomega zip drives work via IDE?
Does anybody know how to get Iomega zip drives to work?
Isn't that what Bitcoin is for, laundering lol.

Does anybody know if Iomega zip drives work via IDE to USB adapters on Ubuntu?

I don't know if I should setup the jumpers on the back of this IDE Iomega Zip Drive to master, slave, cable select.

Does it matter if there is only one device attached to the IDE to USB adapter?

I am plugging directly into an adapter without using a ribbon cable.

If you're telling me to connect the drive to a desktop, that is directly to the motherboard bypassing USB. I agree, that is a good idea.

Did the ribbon cables work with Iomega zip drives? Were there any ribbon cables which didn't work with them?

Sometimes I hear stories of how some cables look the same but are not the same.

I hear that some parallel port cables can connect to printers but may not work with Iomega zip drives. After reading that, I decided not to order a parallel port style Iomega zip drive on Amazon. I went with a used $30 IDE style one partly because I didn't want to spend like $300 on one that goes directly to USB.

Not everything is a scam. Now, that in particular is likely either a scam or very inaccurate, very misguided, very risky, very unlikely to work perhaps.

If you do try to invest, it may take over a decade to maybe make some money.

Buy land like Bill Gates is right now.

My favorite cryptocurrency is Hive Blog.

Buy gold.

Live on a farm.

What will you do when the dollar loses over 99% of its value possibly before 2022?

Are you ready for super mega hyperinflation?

How much value has the dollar lost since 1971?

Better question, how much value did the dollar lose since 1913?

How connected is the value of the dollar to other fiat currencies around the world?

Why was gold banned in the 1930s?

How well did alcohol prohibition work?

How well did gun prohibition work in Australia?

Can we do away with governments?

Should we make government bigger and bigger?

Do you prefer centralization or decentralization?

Why did Biden order Texas to turn off power plants?

Do you want governments to come in and keep everyone safe?

I desire to have many sources for electricity.

Am I the only person here using an actual picture of my real face as an avatar or profile photo?

How I Met Your Mother

And watch out for the zombies.

You can ban me and then continue doing what you guys are clearly NOT doing right now and continue to blame me after I'm gone.

And who might you be?

I am a public person.

I don't hide behind fake names and avatars.

If you wanted to find out where I live to like come hurt me or whatever, you could do that, my info is online.

Does SSD have RPM? I thought RPM refers to a spinning motor, I mean the mechanics of an older HDD hard drive. But I thought the solid state drives (SSD) had no moving parts like that and therefore no need for RPM spinning. Tell me I'm wrong.

Frozen

06:00 PM

Had to restart my computer as my file browser was frozen on an external HDD which I pulled out and yet it still thought it was there kind of thing.

I look 20, I swear to Oatmeal.

Thanks admins for removing the obviously banned memes.

I live in my basement where I can stay safe.

Scary memes.

Ahhhhh, my eyes, I'm melting into water.

That is why I do not use Windows.

You can use programs to rescue the data off bad drives.

Linux has less viruses, bugs, etc.

Linux is more open source than Apple.

Linux has been getting easier over the years depending on the particular version you use.

Stop advertising Windows and Apple.

If you are happy with Windows and Apple, then have fun.

On Ubuntu, you can use Wine to help you run Windows programs.

I never use command-line.

I use Ubuntu the same way you use Windows.

I have menus on Ubuntu.

Did you not see my screenshot?

Did I tell you I have every Nintendo game on my computer?

Did I tell you I have a USB video game controller?

I tried downloading random drivers but I guess they're not helping.

Anything you can do I can do better.

People don't use Linux because they think it sucks.

I guess it depends on which flavor of Linux you're using for video games, there are dozens to hundreds to choose from.

Plus, different combinations therein.

Yes, Windows has been the leader for computer gaming for decades now. I'm not sure if Linux would be able to do better than Windows in a general perspective and all.

Linux works out of the box.

You don't have to do commands to download apps via Linux.

A person who does not want to do commands does not have to. I choose to use the Terminal but a person does not have to.

The problem is that newbies think they have to do commands because too many people tell them to.

Linux has a bad reputation because too many nerds use Linux and nerds are very bad at selling things.

It is not like I would not never ever use Windows.

The difference between Linux and Windows is like the difference between Windows and Apple.

If a Windows user has never used Apple Mac, they can think, "Man, this is so hard."
