+Daily Ubuntu Tips – Mount Partitions In Ubuntu From Your Desktop GUI
+================================================================================
+Not very long ago if you had asked a seasoned Linux user how to mount partitions in Ubuntu, they would’ve told you to use the fstab file in the **/etc/** directory. It seemed like this was the only way to mount partitions in Linux systems, including Ubuntu.
+
+Well, not anymore thanks to [GNOME Disk Utility][1]. With Disks, you can now mount partitions easily from the GUI without ever touching the fstab file from the command line. The fstab file is a Linux file that lists available disks and partitions, and indicates how they are mounted.
+
+The mount command looks in the fstab file and determine how and where these devices should be mounted. It’s only accessed by the system administrator or root.
+
+This brief tutorial is going to show you how to easily mount partitions in Ubuntu without touching the fstab file. For new users and those who are just starting out with Ubuntu, they should find this method easy to use when mounting external partitions or drives.
+
+There are some tools that may help you build the fstab file, but few can do it as efficiently as Disks in Ubuntu.
+
+If you open the fstab file in Ubuntu, you’ll see something like what’s below.
+
+    #<File System>  <Mount Point>    <type>   <options>  <dump>  <pass>
+    /dev/fd0      /media/floppy0    vfat    rw,user,noauto    0   0       
+
+These line above are just a sample of how partitions are mounted in Ubuntu. Each device gets its own file types and mount points. For those starting out with Ubuntu, this can be intimidating.
+
+For seasoned Linux users, administering the fstab file isn’t difficult. If you’ve done it once, the next should be easy.
+
+So, here you go. To add an entry in the fstab file or mount a partition, go to Unity Dash and open **Disk app**. When it opens, select the drive you wish to mount and format it.  After formatting it, select **Option –> Edit Mount Options**.
+

+
+Finally, turn off auto mount options and manually specify your mount options. The Disk will automatically inserts these options in the fstab file so the mount command can read and mount the partition.
+
+![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mountguiubuntu1.png)
+
+Save your settings and restart or hit the mount command to mount the partition.
+
+The options above will look like this in the fstab file.
+
+    /dev/sdb /media/richard/ExtPartition ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
+
+Yep, that’s it! The new partition will be mounted every time you start your machine.
+
+Enjoy!

+Daily Ubuntu Tips – Support For Ubuntu 13.04 Ends January 27, 2014
+================================================================================
+If you’re currently Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, it may be time to upgrade to the next version because support for it will end January 27 of this year.
+
+What Canonical (the parent company of Ubuntu) is saying is that as of January 27, no further security updates, bug fixes or package upgrades will be available from Ubuntu repositories. Your system will basically be running older packages with no access to updated versions from Ubuntu repositories.
+
+Ubuntu 13.04 was released almost 9 months ago, April 25, 2013. It was the first release with the 9 month support cycle and is nearing its end.
+
+For those who want to upgrade, they can follow the guide below to upgrade before the 27th.
+
+Ubuntu 13.10, the next step up from 13.04 will continue to be actively supported with security updates and bug fixes and package upgrades.
+
+Here’s a statement from Canonical:
+
+> Ubuntu announced its 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) release almost 9 months
+> ago, on April 25, 2013. This was the first release with our new 9
+> month support cycle and, as such, the support period is now nearing
+> its end and Ubuntu 13.04 will reach end of life on Monday, January
+> 27th. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include
+> information or updated packages for Ubuntu 13.04.
+
+To upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10, run the commands below to update your system first. 
+
+    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
+
+After running the commands below, you may restart your computer. It’s always good to restart so kernel changes and other updates can applied.
+
+Next, press **Alt – F2** on your keyboard to show Unity Command Box. Then type the command below in the box and pres Enter.
+
+    update-manager –d
+
+Next, you’ll be prompted to upgrade your machine, hit the Upgrade button to begin upgrading.
+
+![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/updatemanagerubuntu1310.png)
+
+Before upgrading you should understand that it may take update to an hour for Ubuntu to finish downloading all the upgraded packages for your machine.
+
+If you don’t have a reliable Internet connection, you shouldn’t perform in place upgrade. You may instead want to upgrade from a CD/DVD disc.
+
+Enjoy!

+Daily Ubuntu Tips — Windows Disk Management Equivalent In Ubuntu
+================================================================================
+For new users just starting out with Ubuntu who have some knowledge of Microsoft Windows, one question keeps coming up in most Ubuntu forums online. One of our readers asked us the same questions few days ago.
+
+> What is Windows Disk Management Equivalent in Ubuntu?
+
+For those who don’t know about Disk Management, here’s a brief summary.
+
+Disk Management is a tool that comes with Windows by default beginning with Windows XP. It performs disk-related task such as creating and formatting volumes, initializing disks, resizing partitions, assigning drive letters and deleting partitions.
+
+It uses the DiskPart command along with related command-line tools to perform disk management task from the command-line in Windows. It is a very powerful tool in Windows.
+
+The question is, is there a Ubuntu equivalent? The answer is Yes.
+
+Ubuntu comes with similar tool called GNOME Disk Utility. It’s a tool to view / manage disk drives, modify partitions, create and restore disk images and more. You can also use it to format and create partitions, mount and unmount volumes, and other disk related tasks.
+
+Although it similar to Disk Management in Windows, it doesn’t allow you to resize partitions and volumes. Since Ubuntu doesn’t support drive letters, it doesn’t do that as well.
+
+So, for disk management equivalent in Ubuntu, look at GNOME Disk Utility.
+
+To access it, open Unity Dash and search for Disks. When it opens, it should automatically recognize external drives or additional hard drives that are attached to your machine.
+
+![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dropboxubuntumissingfolder3.png)
+
+Once the drive is selected, you can then perform disk-related tasks such as formatting, creating partitions and managing your drives. Other settings you can configure is standby mode for your disk where it puts the drive in standby mode after timeouts.
+
+Something to remember is when you’re formatting a drive to use on both Ubuntu and Windows, use NTFS file system.
+
+So, use Disks to configure you drives in Ubuntu.
+
+Enjoy! And Happy New Year!
