1. My NTFS partitions stopped being mounted, I can see them in /media/ but they show as empty, can't access them. Happened after installing updates
2. The extra workplace/desktops have been "locked", I can only access the 1st one. Happened after installing Beryl + Emerald.
3. Can't use flash on Opera 9.25. I could use Firefox if the interface wasn't so big, it looks like the web pages seen with Firefox are in 1280x800 versus my 1680x1050 (looks okay in IE7 + Opera). It's really big imo and I can see less things.
Thanks!

1- Can you mount the partitions manually?
2- Beryl or Compiz Fusion? -
I dunno. How do I do that? >-<
I have both installed. -
1- Could you post the content of your /etc/fstab file?
2- To enable the desktop effects you should click on System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Desktop effects (remove any additional packages if you don't need them..these steps will do the job to enable desktop effects) -
okay thanks I'll be taking a pic and uploading it soon.
Yes yes everything is enabled, I can see 4 desktop icons near the trash but I can't access any, except the one that Ubuntu boots on of course. It doesn't do anything when I click on one, dragging an app on the edge of the screen doesn't do anything either.

I need to mount sda1 & 2
By big I mean this-> http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqe5.png -
Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
Code:#/dev/sda1 [B]/dev/sda1[/B] /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
Let us know if mounting manually works or not. -
the mount command says
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0
could it be because it is in hibernation (vista)?
EDIT: Yup that was it, my 2 NTFS drivers are working now. Now only need to fix the "locked" multi-desktops & big font at some places (about only this forums) in FF.
