Apple Time Machine not appearing in /media topic

Hello,

Former linux nerd, but skills have atrophied as I stopped using them.

Apple Time Machine Volume on an external hard drive. No Mac available. I am certain the external hard drive itself is fine b/c my buddy installed some shareware crap on a Windows computer, which allows partial/limited/stupid access to it when plugged into that machine.

I can google all the guides to see how to access it, but they all presume it appears in /media. I see nothing there.

Have installed hfsutils, hfsprogs, and so on.

I unplugged the thing and hit mount, and then plugged it in to find the new thing appearing, but no new thing appeared.

Code:

Am using whatever version of Ubuntu has kernel 3.2.0-24-generic.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[lubuntu] LXDE Logout Menu/Dialog Not Appearing topic

Hello all,

I'm building a new system image for deployment running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS x64. I've installed normal Ubuntu as a base then installed lubuntu-core (with a few other packages) to use Lubuntu LXDE desktop. I'm having one small issue with the build so far. When I goto Menu -> Logout the logout menu/dialog is not appearing on screen, and does not seem to start at all. Running top/htop to view running processes seems to be the case.... sometimes. The application lxsession-logout sometimes appears in running process others it does not. Regardless if launched in the background or not it does not appear on screen. if tried running: lxsession-logout --display=$DISPLAY to force the current X display but issue remains. I get no output/warnings/errors. cannot seem to find where the application logs (not even sure if it does), no can I find a command option to run program verbose. I haven't the slightest clue what is broken here but need to fix. This small of an issue hasn't bothered me in a long time :)

Any thoughts. Thank you much!!!
