Mounting a Windows 8.1 partition on Ubuntu 14.04

If u guys have a problem mounting a Windows 8.1 partition on Ubuntu 14.04 , Here's a Quick fix that worked for me : Disable the default hibernation mode by using CMD program as administrator – Boot into Windows and type “cmd” in the search field on the built-in Windows search app >> launch the app and type: powercfg -h off >> press enter and your done.

Using Sublime Text or gedit when logging as User

For me I used xhost + and it solved the problem. You can use it when you are working in a  remote instance and you wanna use gedit. By default, and for security reasons, the only user that interacts with X-server is the logged-in user. Meaning, You can not initiate a connection to x-server as a different user or in your case as root, unless you have overridden the default setting to allow different users/hosts to connect to x-server. So the error message you are getting is related to x-server since any other user can't connect to it. In order to get around it, you have various fixes you can apply. What I normally do when ever I need to run an X-app as root is as follows. From normal user terminal, I run  xhost +  to grant access to all user temporarily Then I log in as root from a different terminal and execute the X-app ie  gedit tester.php To make it permanent (which I don't suggest), edit  /etc/profile  and add the following line: export XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xautho
