Fedora Core 13 updated just this morning and still having a problem when connecting drives to the system. I believe drives are supposed to be automatically mounted under /media/Vol-Name where Vol-Name is the label on the drive/partition. I, and everyone else logged in, get the following message: Is there some settings that controls this?
View 2 RepliesI've found some older threads with the same problem and read a few bug reports also. Nobody has a solution that has worked for me.How can I get Ubuntu 10.10 to be able to use something as basic as a usb drive?

I am running 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64 bit. Whenever I insert a CD or USB flash drive, I get the error "Unable to mount - Not Authorized". I can, however, mount these things by using the mount command from the console as root. I suspect that either the component of Lucid which is responsible for automounting has a bug, or there is some kind of permissions bug with the way Ubuntu sets up the primary user. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a workaround? Should I file a bug report?
View 9 Replies View RelatedNew install of Fedora 14, all updates applied. If a USB flash drive is plugged in, get a Not Authorized message when Nautilus tries to mount the drive. The drive does show up in Places in Nautilus. From a terminal window, if you 'su' to 'root', then:
mkdir /mnt/usb
fdisk -lu
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
WILL mount the device, can 'cd' into directories, 'ls' to list files, 'cat' the files -- all OK -- so the device itself is fine. But from a regular user account, it will not mount the drive. Did 'chown' on /mnt/usb and /dev/sdb1 so that the user owns everything. The same 'mount' command as above gives the message "mount: only root can do that". Disabled SELinux as a test -- same result. Searched around but only similar problem was in this thread (buried in the middle): [URL] That's where the sequence above was suggested, which does work as 'root'. Where else would permissions need to be set? And what changed? This worked automatically in previous versions of Fedora

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Debian 6 on an old pc so i can use it as a file server.As far as i know installation went fine but it didn't detect my Edimax wireless network card.The problem I'm having is using FDISK. I tried to explore my CD drive and i got an error message "Unable to mount location". I wanted to see if there was an installer to install my network card becuase the manufacturer says it's supported by Linux. When i use the su - command and try using fdisk -l it just displays the command prompt and no hdd info. I tried it the other day becuase I want to mount all the physical drives and one logical volume. This is only the first step for me configuring this computer as a server and i'm suck already and ready to give up and try Windows server (whcih i don't really want to do).Has anyone got any ideas how i can mount my cdrom and why FDISK isn't working?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.
I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop
ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.
I've got a 10.04 server install, on which I installed a basic gnome desktop. But I've never been able to automount usb drives or DVD/CDs!?but seem for desktop. May relate to not having standard gnome install? I don't have users-admin to try that, and don't see install package.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFacing this issue where I need to ssh from a solaris server to Linux server.The flow is as below:
-Oracle Webserver on solaris server (oracle user) initiates a cgi script
-The CGI script then executes a shell on the solaris server that tries to ssh to linux server
Have already tried the below:
-Checked the permissions for the .ssh and related folder/files
-authorized keys updated correctly
-tried alternative ssh login from another user which works fine
Issue could be-
-I must try the first login manually, where I'll need to enter password and then the solaris server will get registered in the known_hosts of the linux server
-Cant do this because I donot have the oracle user access.
Please suggest a work-around to the issue that can be done from my end.
Or is it that I must simply ask the DBA to execute an ssh from their ends?
Ubuntu 10.04 - it lives on 1TB drive. Then I have another 1TB drive that has 2 partitions. One of the partitions has XP and other is empty awaiting a WIN7 install. Then I also have a 2TB back up drive. All said - on the odd boot I'm unable to mount the other drives.

I cannot mount my itnernal drive, and even memory cards are listed as "permission denied" even though I am part of the disks group. I know that before systemd I could just edit a udisks config file but I cannot find out where it'd even be.
I've included my /etc/fstab.
Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

I am part of the disks group, and am 90% sure that I edited the udisks file that says something about mount internal disk to allow active from allow_admin
The only udev rules that i've changed was the one to change the mount point for external drives to /media/drive_label instead of /media/$username/drive_label
Basically I'm trying to automount the partition after clicking on it in the file manager.

I should mention that this was working just a few hours ago. There was a power glitch and my Ubuntu headless server lost power. I turned it on and since then, I am getting this error. I would prefer not to format via GUI .... 1st because I have data there , 2nd, because I don't want to rely on a graphical interface but being able to fix this via terminal.
I am working on an old PC and I am trying to mount a floppy disk. The disk is formatted as Fat12 with Quote: mkdosfs -F 12 /dev/fd0 Weather it auto mounts or I mount it with sudo mount Quote: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
it says it works fine, but if I add files to it,remove the disk and put it in another machine nothing is on the disk. The files I add to the disk just get added to /media/floppy0 as a normal directory. If I try to umount /dev/fd0 it says the device is not mounted, even directly after I mount it.
I was copying files from one Western Digital hard drive to another newer one, when I accidentally pulled out the usb cable on the copying drive (WD Elements 2TB).Now I can't mount the drive again.

I am not well versed in using Ubuntu. I was using Win XP Pro SP3 on my old machine. I decided to make the move to Ubuntu. No problem since all files on the primary drive of the old machine were just OS related. I kept all of the important stuff (music, documents, reg codes, etc.) The computer had no problem importing the songs on the external drive to the music library. I am playing songs and loving it. Now the problem... when I am starting with ubuntu I don't find the drive and I can't mount it.
I get a box stating:
You are not privileged to mount this volume
