Blender on Ubuntu (HDD + DVD problems)

Hi 2 everyone,

I know this is probably a stupid question but Im new to Ubuntu so I have to ask. How could I assign all my disks (including DVD-RAM and WinXP disks) to Blender? If I opened up a program and wanna load a scene I could only access “home” - so only the HDD on which the Ubuntu is installed.
I already search the web (Google) for this topic but did NOT find an answer (maybe its to basic to be mentioned on the NET) … in fact Blender is NOT the only app with this problem (for me).

THX for help in advance,

 Sincerely, JayM

hey janmatys,

your removable storage locations in ubuntu (disks, usb drives, etc…) are in the ‘/media’ directory. Which is in the same directory as your home folder, so you need to back out to the top parent directory. Or you can just type in ‘/media/’ and it should show you a list of your media :slight_smile:

Happy Blender/Ubuntuing!

Hi mate,

THX for the info. When I type “/media/” its working but parenting to the home folder (the most-up one) is NOT working for me. My disks are connected in the system after the start (in “Places” I mount every disk I have) and its working but its NOT seen in Blender btw - only with the “/media/” stuff You wrote … THX anyway mate, its useful.
