Attract-Mode can't roms on external hard drive (Ubuntu) PLEASE HELP!

[mcarra]

I am new to installing Attract-Mode on Ubuntu. I got it all installed but the thing is I got my external hard drive partitioned and the roms are on a separate partition.

When I add the roms location to the config file  it looks like this:

            /media/username/partition  name/folder/company name/console

/media/mcarr/Arcade/Roms/Atari/2600

I have all my consoles set up like that and got no luck Attract-Mode finding the roms. I even tried to remove the /media and the /username and no luck. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. I been banging my head against the wall now for awhile and still cant get it to work.

On the command line go to the folder with your roms and type "pwd" and then press "Enter". The path displayed is what you should use in your configuration file.

When you said command line are you talking about terminal in Linux? I am using Ubuntu and not Windows.

pwd is a Linux/Unix command for Present Working Directory, and will show full path of the current working directory. So cd to your path and then run the pwd command.

As keilmillerjr points out, this is a Linux command. Based on your post title "Ubuntu" I understand you're using Linux and not Windows.

I said "command line" but you can interchange that with "console", "terminal" or any other term that means the text only mode of the operating system.
