Okay I have some major issues

[DinoJesus]

I got Ubuntu today and have learned about mounting and dismounting, I ham mounted to my windows drive but i cant access any of it, at all. Also it wont let me dismount I have NTFS and Wine, but I can't even look at any files, help?

[yancek]

Clarification please.
What does "I got Ubuntu today" mean?
Did you buy a computer with Ubuntu pre-installed?
Did you install Ubuntu from a downloaded iso image?
What did you mount to your windows drive? Do you mean you mounted a windows partition from Ubuntu?
You refer to your windows drive and also to Ubuntu. Does this mean you have more than one physical hard drive? or are you confusing partitions with drives?

It's actually "mounting" and "unmounting".

You don't mount drives, you mount the filesystems on partitions on hard drives.
What did you try to mount?
Do you have some version of windows installed?
Are you able to boot Ubuntu?
Which files can you not look at? windows?

A little more detail like answers to the above questions would be helpful in getting some help. You have posted very minimal information and we have no idea what you have done, what you can do.
Also do you know which version of Ubuntu you installed and did you install it in a separate partition or inside windows?,

I installed Ubuntu onto a originally windows computer, and I couldn't see files from my windows partition. I mounted my partition, but couldn't see things, but thats cleared up I can access files from all my partitions now.




New problem: I have followed the steps on a guide (I can't post foreign urls yet) and still cant play mp3s through any programs. I have gstreamer plugins but they won't work.
Edit: Wont work meaning I still can't play mp3s.
Edit: I've tried Amarok Rythmbox and movie player, the default program

Follow instructions from here to enable MP3 support in Ubuntu.

I double click the mp3 and it comes up with "Movie Player" And this message, "GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file"

[DinoJesus]

I've tried disabling plugins that might interfere with gstreamer. Nothing will work.

[kmitnick]

in my Ubutnu 10.04 when I ran the music player which comes with it for the first time, it asked me if I want to install the MP3 Libs.

[DinoJesus]

Lucky you?

I've always had good results from following the advice here

[hatebreed]

did you install the restricted codecs package from synaptic yet?
