Hello there !

Like many people here, Jayjay123 saved my nerves thanks to his selfmade tool "uStealth" that enables to hide / show a hard disc in the Wii U mode. Thanks a lot Jayjay123 !!!

However, I'm not a regular Windows user. I use Ubuntu in the everyday life. So I decided to create my own tool in order to enable Linux users to hide their disc as well.

I used the same trick as Jayjay123, so our two tools should be compatible with each other (hide with one, unhide with the other, etc...).

I delivered my tool in a .deb archive, and tested it in Ubuntu. But it should work with plenty other distros.

You can download my tool there.

Don't hesitate to tell me if you know a more persistant way to host this file as this link might be deleted after 30 days without clicks.

Installation

Double click the archive and click "Install" in Ubuntu Software Center.
You can also use the following command : "sudo dpkg -i wudh-1.0.0.0-noarch.deb"

Usage

Locate "Wii U Disk Hider" in the application Menu and click it :)

You can also type "wudh" in your favorite terminal emulator.

Then choose the disk to hide / unhide in the list. Notice that you must unmount your disc first, otherwise it won't be displayed.

Warning: as usual, this tool modifies information on the drive so it is strongly advised that you backup your data first.

Misc

In some cases, your disc partitions might not be visible in ubuntu even after you unhid it. To fix this, just Unplug and replug the drive.

Support

I'll be glad to answer your questions here :)

Regards,

Obibann.

Hi Julialy.

Thank you for the upload. I've uploaded the source code on the forum.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
