Just for the record, t's not a Samsung that's not being detected. It's a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus.(I might have mistakenly said it's a Passport Plus earlier.) There's a set of diagnostic toolscalled SeaChest that I found on Seagate's website that can send signals/commands to Seagate drives, and...

The loop device that was showing up in Disks has disappeared since doing a reboot, so I don't know what was going on there. The first thing I did when I saw it in Disks was to check GParted to see if it showed up, but it didn't. I was having some other problems related to security...

1) I've tried the HDD in all of the ports and then rebooted and ran dmesg to look for it. I haven't used dmesg -w while testing it on each port, but it's worth a try. All my ports work, btw. I've made sure by shuffling devices around and testing them, particularly my two other mass storage...

Sorry I'm late getting back to this. To save you reading my OP (to which my current situation has changed slightly), I'll summarize the problem I currently have, which is that I have an external HDD that isn't being recognized at all by Ubuntu (using lsblk, lsusb, lsscsi, etc.) but sometimes...

I have about 50 tabs open at any given time in my main browser window that goes in the default workspace, but that's about the limit for # of tabs I'll go since my eyesight isn't that good any more and tabs slide around depending on what I'm doing, so I can't always find the ones I'm looking for...

It sure sounds like you are. When Bill Gates ran the company it was different than it is today. Were you around when he was developing Win95 and having all those closed-door meetings with the NSA? I could say a lot more about BG but this isn't the place for it..

They also sell your data to advertisers or otherwise use it to help them reach more likely customers. They also share it with certain other parties illegally. I know I was being monitored in real-time by Windows, and that's what led me to switching to Linux. Those forced Windows updates are...

Gotcha, but I could just as well point out that Google and most other popular SEs also control what sites come up in the results and censor out certain results depending on the search query. You have to know exactly what site you're looking for and use Google's advanced search tools to force it...

Yes I have. I use Yandex if Google doesn't give me what I'm looking for. They're a Russian SE but will find things that Google and most other western SEs censor out.

I just started using window grouping and find it easier to divide the different things I use my computer for. It also keeps the number of tabs in my browser down to a more manageable and ordered set of windows, one for each group. Specific tasks and the programs I use for them go together in one...

They censor what they don't want you to see or know, but mostly only when it comes to political issues, although finding good info on certain other topics is hard to find also unless you know exactly what keywords to use. Looking up all those computer acronyms and other arcane terminology is...

With small disk space, you can always just remove those programs/utils you don't need ATM to make room for others you do, and switch back when needed. The speed of downloading compared to Windows is noticeable and won't cause much delay, even with low memory resources and several programs...

I have a 4TB external HDD (Seagate Backup Plus Portable) with two partitions on it, one is an EXT4 and the other is an NTFS. It hasn't been visible to Ubuntu for a while now. I used to have a dual boot system but I stopped using Windows much because I preferred Ubuntu. The HDD wasn't a problem...
