I am trying Linux UBUNTU on my windows system. I am knew in Linux UBUNTU.but I don't know that where I can find my files that were on windows 10.
In case you mean WSL Ubuntu:
Your Harddrives are mounted under /mnt/. I like to create a symbolic links to them in my home folder. The should be named like so:
/mnt/c # your C:\ drive
/mnt/s # your S:\ drive
...
In case you mean a Linux livesystem:
If you use a system with a graphical user interface, somewhere in your filemanager you should see the respective drive. Click on it and it should auto-mount. Afterwards you should be able to access your files just as you would expect via the filemanager.
In case you're in terminal mode (= you do not have any graphical user interface), things might get a little strange from a beginner's perspective. In this case I would recommend that you make yourself familiar with the rough structure of the linux filesystem and the commands mount, umount and sudo. Generaly said you will have to do the same thing your filemanager does for you. You mount the drive somewhere in the filesystem tree and then access the folder:
mount /dev/<drive> <directory> # mount your drive into the fs tree
cd <directory> # switch to that folder
ls # should display your drive's content

I've mounted an SSD to /mnt/SATA-SSD which has a single exfat partition.
I'd like to make the permissions for the mount point "drwxrwxrwx" but no matter what I try, the permissions wont change from "drwxr-xr-x".
I tried going into the terminal and doing "sudo chmod 777 /mnt/SATA-SSD" which resulted in the permissions remaining at "drwxr-xr-x". I've also tried the same command as root.
I also tried in Dolphin to change the permissions and the write permissions were greyed out.
I'm using Kubuntu 22.10.
It's a drive full of data so I don't really want to reformat it.
I've mounted a few other drives (1. NTFS HDD 2. NTFS SSD 3. NTFS External SSD) in the same way and they don't seem to have this issue. I cant imagine the file format is the issue but at this point I have no idea.
I'm kind of at a loss for how this isn't working. Is there a way to force the permissions to change that's more forceful than chmod or could there some other reason why chmod isn't changing the permissions?

I've ran into a problem when trying to use an installed Linux bash shell instead of my Windows command prompt. I can't get my computer files to show on my Ubuntu terminal, even though when I repeat the same actions on my windows command prompt they seem to work.
I'm thinking there must be an issue with my installation, possibly I need to do a few more steps to get it to work like my regular command prompt terminal, but I'm not sure how to do this currently. I've added some screenshots above for additional context of me not finding my files in Ubuntu but being able to find them through windows command prompt.
It's because your linux home directory is most likely located outside of your windows user's home directory.
Use windows search to look for one of your ubuntu files (for example git_101) to determine where is your ubuntu home directory in relation to windows file system.
This can vary depending on how you installed ubuntu, but you might be able to access your windows filesystem via the /mnt directory as well. You can check that by running ls -lah /mnt.

I have a Virtual Machine, and I want to share some files with my computer. But I don't know how to access them.
In the settings of my VM, I added the repository that I want to share. After that I started my VM and I think that I have to use the "mount" command. I also think that the repository that I want is in /dev but I don't know which file after that.
This is the command that I think I have to use :
mount -t vfat /dev/something /media/sf-Documents
Can someone help me and tell me how I have to do to get the content of my folder on my computer please ?
Usually, it is sufficient to:
Install the Guest Additions
Enter the Settings -> Shared folders menu
Click on the "+" icon
Select "automatic mount"
Reboot the machine
You'll find the shared folder under the /media directory
This procedure is known to not work for some versions of the Guest Additions. In case, try a different version of VirtualBox (e.g., switch from 5 to the more stable 4 version).
At first, to share folder between Ubuntu machines: choose folder -> right click -> folder sharing(or in file Properties). You can access files on a remote computer using SSH: Install openssh-server on a computer you want to connect to

Why initramfs is needed in OS, why we can not mount the root filesystem without this file?
Why we can not mount root fileststem directly, but we need some intermediator (intramfs)?
And how to mount file system from kernel level (kernel side)?
To answer your question, you need to understand, boot process, & how the operating system determines and understands the root fs (which stores the config,bins,data,etc for the rest of the services that come up, when the system is up), the drivers required for talking to the hardware (ex: the storage device or hard disk). Therefore you need to bundle up at least the basic required modules (like file-system and device drivers etc) in your initramfs, to bring up the system and mount the root fs. This is also a duplicate of Is it possible to boot the Linux kernel without creating an initrd image?

I created a fuse mountpoint. After mounting, the file permissions are all screwed up and it says I cannot ls or cd. Permission denied.
The file permissions look like this:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? temp
and when i list the mounted devices I get:
/dev/fuse on /temp type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev)
I used mono-fuse. I just created a new folder with permissions 777 and then did a mount. After unmounting I can do all operations, but when I mount, I get such error.
I used
HelloFS.exe that comes along with mono fuse for testing.
Can someone shed some light on this weird behavior and what mistake i have done.
I expect there is an incompatiblity with the userspace fuse library you're using and the kernel fuse version. This results in the kernel not understanding responses and it returning and EIO for everything (including the stat calls that "ls" does).
You should try increasing the debug level. As it's a Mono / CLR application, ensure that the libraries are of an appropriate version for your kernel; you may not need to recompile it.
You should also note that when you mount a directory, the mount-point's original permissions are ignore (and hence need not be 0777) ; the root directory of the new filesystem takes its place.
(You should probably not mount such a filesystem in /temp either; it is an example not for temp files)
