Topic: Gigolo

I've been trying to get at the second partition where I backed up /home before installing Statler. I installed Gigolo but it doesn't show any internal partitions - only removable drives. Any ideas?

Have you tried a live cd and see if you can get to the drive..Or if it even exists anymore.

Re: Gigolo

You've tried 'sudo fdisk -l' ?

Yeah I was never worried that they'd gone completely. I booted from MintX v8 live and copied all the files to an SD card. I just think it's very odd that Gigolo showing nothing.

That shows three partitions, sda1 where Statler is installed, sdb1 which is swap, sdb2 which is where the elusive files are.

And for the next question ... yes I was successful with the command sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/data wink I really should remember stuff like that rather than having to google for it. smile

But I'm still wondering why my pointy-clicky GUI-heaven Gigolo isn't working. It's 0.3.2 from the Debian repos.

Re: Gigolo

Perhaps this is not going to be fixed. From this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/534900

Gigolo is not designed to show the local partitions.

Re: Gigolo

On my System, Gigolo shows the Networkshares and local partitions. Maybe an update to Gigolo 0.3.2 helps?
