Hi I am fairly new to xbmc and very new to Ubuntu. I recently installed both - Ubuntu 14.04 and Gotham 13.2. I Can get my music to play from my internal harddrive but when I restart the computer I get the message - path not found or invalid. If I go back in and give it the same path to the source all is well but I have to do that every time I start the computer. I have enabled sharing on the two folders I have the music in. I am only using this pc as a music server. Any help would be much appreciated!

Does the path stay the same everytime? or does the hard drive get mounted to a different path?
Sharing won't matter if the content is local.

Hi - The path is the same every time. When the sharing is not activated on the folders that all the music is in I can't connect to them at all! It does seem strange seeing as the hard drive is internal!

I'm guessing that the internal harddrive is not mounted automatically on boot. post the output of
mount -l
when you get the error and again when it works.

Hi sorry but I'm not sure how to post "mount - ". Is that a 1 or An i or an L after the dash? However you seem to be right the drive is not mounting automatically. As soon as I mount it everything works. Unfortunately even after reading some advice on the subject I am not sure how to get it to auto mount?
