Fedora :: USB Stick No Longer Automounts?
Oct 9, 2009
FC 11 / Latest updates installedI can manually mount it from a term window but really prefer automount. Used to work a few days ago so Im looking towards it being some problem/change in a update.No error messages. Here is a snipet of my logs that shows pulling and reinserting memstick:

not sure if this is a silly issue or what. I recently upgraded to 10.10. When I insert my usb device, it automounts as /media/usb0, with root privileges. I have to manually unmount it, and afterwards if I select the "mount (drivename)" usb stick from Places it will automount as /media/(devicename) with proper

I have the following hardware setup:
a NAS running Debian that frequently (but not always) has two removable media attached,a Debian desktop that mounts the above NAS via sshfs,the aforementioned removable media are symlinked to the directory on tha NAS that is then mounted by the desktop.
What I'd like this setup to do is to immediately time out if mounts as unavailable. Instead, I only get the expected behaviour if the NAS is down (the ssh client takes about 3 seconds to do that); if it's up, the removable media automounts (they are symlinked to the directory shared with the desktop) seem to never time out, ever. This happens locally on the NAS as well, when ssh'ing to the NAS and trying to run `ls /media/Storage` or `ls /media/Backup`, these commands never return. It's as if systemd was ignoring the x-systemd.device-timeout setting on the NAS.
The relevant part of the NAS's fstab:
Code: Select all/dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4 defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=1s,rw,user,nofail,x-systemd.idle-timeout=30s 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /media/Storage ext4 defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=1s,rw,exec,nofail,x-systemd.idle-timeout=5min 0 1
[Code] ....
I find it highly interesting that despite both removable media being detached, only one is flagged as having a dependency failed. Both paths exhibit the hang behaviour, though.
What can I do to actually time out when the media are not there?

I know that I can use the GUI (gnome-volume-properties) enable/disable the USB sticks/disks automount features, by checking/unchecking the pertinent options.My question is: how can I obtain the same results from the command line (that is, without using any GUI frontend)?

I'm about to ditch Freenas as my NAS software and make it an Ubuntu server box. The mainboard is an Asus AT3ION-T dual core Atom board. Freenas runs happily from USB stick. I have no optical device to install Ubuntu from and would like to install Ubuntu Server to a USB stick.

I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.
But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?

I'm no hardware expert, so I'm sorry if this question is a silly one.F13 64 bit on a standard laptop.I have a Freecom DVB-T USB stick, and use it with Kaffeine to watch terrestrial digital TV in the UK. It works fine (using a "set top" type amplified aerial), but I have noticed that after a while (say half an hour) the USB stick gets noticeably hot.
My concern is that this might mean that it is drawing excessive power from the USB, and that there is thus a danger of damage to the laptop.

I have a 32 GB USB stick which I would like to install the full Fedora 11 system to (i.e. the DVD). Is this possible? If yes, how? It seems like the only way to do this is by using the Live CD (which does not contain the software I need).

I've plugged a usb stick into my server.
cat /proc/partitions
8 0 1981440 sda
8 1 990720 sda1
8 2 436288 sda2
However when I do:
ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sda2
I'm sure I got no other devices connected that /dev/sdb would point to
cd /sys/block/sda
[root@footy sda]# ll
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 18 16:27 device ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0
[root@footy sda]# cd /sys/block/sdb
[root@footy sdb]# ll

../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:1
What does this imply, sdb linked to sda?

I did:

and the next thing I know is that yum and rpm are no longer available. I still have wget and some C compilers, so, before I reinstall, does anybody know if it is possible to install rpm and/or yum in this situation? Fedora 11

I have tried to install F13 on an 8 GB USB memory stick (flash drive, thumb drive) but have had limited success. I used the Live USB Creator method as suggested in the Fedora web site and although I ended up with a bootable USB memory stick, I was unable to save any changes even though I allowed a 2GB persistent overlay.
I then tried to do it using Unetbootin and again got a bootable memory stick but again was unable to save any changes. Could someone explain what I might be doing wrong or is it just not possible to make a bootable memory stick with F12 that will save any changes?

I just installed Fedora 14 on Dell Xpsl501x, my usb mouse isn't working nor listed with lsusb. My USB stick also isn't detected nor auto mounted, what is strange is they both seem to work fine when i plug them to the USB/ESATA port. i don't know what to do to automount my USB stick, or the mouse.

I going to re-install Fedora 14 and several other OS-es on a multi boot system.
Now - my normal procedure is to install fedora 14 last and use the grub boot loader to load the other OS. As I use a hard disk to regularly install an experimental OS I keep my grub boot on a back-up floppy. The installation is done (as root) in this way:
modprobe floppy
fdformat /dev/fd0
mke2fs /dev/fd0
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/floppy '(fd0)'
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/grub.conf
umount /mnt/floppy
This works great. If your mbr is overwritten by another OS you can use the boot floppy to get into Fedora - no problem.
However - my new system has no longer a floppy disk drive (no connection the motherboard). I wonder if can use a USB stick in stead of a floppy to boot Fedora if my mbr is overwritten. I only have no clue how to do that. The above procedure can obviously not be used, because a stick is no floppy.
I am NOT asking for a full Fedora on the stick!!! I only want t use the stick to boot my hard drive based Fedora if the mbr is overwritten.

I just got a Sony DCR-DVD108. It uses a mini dvd and a memory stick pro duo. It was a gift, and it's the first time through the rodeo for me using this set up. I can get the card recognized when I plug it in using a card reader. I want to record video, and that's where I run into problems. When I insert it, I get something saying that I have still photos, and Shotwell is the default photo software. That would be OK if I had still photos, but like I said, I'm going for video with this set up. I have VLC, but when I tell VLC to "open capture device" under "Media" it gives me a dialog box with (I think) Linux 2 as the capture method (this is going to get a little fuzzy as I have no idea what it's looking for here) and a couple of blanks that need filled in. I may be going about this bass-ackwards, in fact I probably am, but like I said, this is the first time I've messed with a memory stick pro duo. I guess since it's Sony they want me to go out and buy a Play Station to get this to work. I don't think I want to go there. I might be barking up the wrong forest with VLC, but Wikipedia says it will play it.

When I insert a cd into my optical drive, it is not showing up on my file menu. In Rhythmbox, I used to get an icon for the cd which I could click on to play the cd but that doesn't come up any more. I have my File Management Preferences set to ask me what to do when I insert a cd but it no longer asks me what to do. Banshee is the only thing left that shows a cd icon. How do I get my file management system and other programs to recognize a cd when inserted?

I was running fedora 9 on an HP pavilon and wanted to get my wirless card to work with b43, so i searched online for ways to to this and found the following: "Using the b43 driver If you need to use the b43 driver follow these steps to install the required firmware.
1. Download this file [URL]
2. Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.
3. Switch to the root user by entering the command "su -" (without the quotes) and typing in your root password
4. Extract the contents of the file you downloaded by typing the following: tar -xjvf /path/to/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 Replace the "path/to" section with the path to the file you downloaded.
5. We now need to use the b43-fwcutter tool. A standard Fedora installation already has this tool installed however if you don't have it type in the following: yum install b43-fwcutter
6. Now run the following:
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware kmod/wl_apsta.o The above assumes you are in the directory that you extracted the downloaded file to.
7. Now type in following following:
echo "modprobe b43" >> /etc/rc.modules" chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules"8. Reboot your system and hopefully you will have functioning wireless." the full page can be found here: [URL] i tried the above steps and was only able to get as far as step 6 as b43-fwcutter wouldent extract the file, so after a few tries i gave up and restarted my computer. when the computer restarted i would get the following message:
Fedora release 9 (sulphur)
Kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 on an i686 (tty1)
localhost login: however when i try to log in as root or any other user nothing happens, i type in the user name and do not recive a prompt for a pass, it then goes back to the above state. I do have data on the system and i wish to retrive it, so reformating is not realy an option.

I am running FC11 and I recently purchased an internet stick from Bell Canada.I have searched/googled and searched again for setup help, to no avail.When, I insert the USB Internet stick, it shows up on my computer as a MMC storage device.FYI, the light on the Stick is green, which would indicate all systems go, but it simply won't connect.

I recently purchased HP Proliant Microserver with the idea of having it as a home server running Amahi. I added one 2TB hard disk to the already installed 250 GB drive. The Microserver has no cd/dvd drive so I created a bootable pen drive using LiveUSB Creator tool from Fedora 14 installation DVD iso image. However, I ran into problems in the very first phase though I struggled hard, juggling i386, x64, Live images...
Now, for i386 Fedora: The machine successfully boots from the pen drive but after selecting language and keyboard, the installer does not see the installation image - or even the pen drive at all - saying "No driver found". Then, I can only open "Select Device Driver to Load" (screenshot) where I can only see whole bunch of drivers I have no idea which of to select. I tried "USB mass storage driver for Linux", nothing happened, I'm returned back to "No driver found". Haven't found the "HP NC107i PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter" driver in the list...
x64 Fedora: Same result, though x64 at least recognizes the HDDs that are already in the box (screenshot) so I can try to use image files unpacked on the second one (ext4 formatted). Then, the installation proceeds till the point of formatting the installation drive when it suddenly "Cannot find ISO 9660 image" (screenshot) and I cannot but Exit.
Live x64 image: I tried the Live bootable image from the same pen drive - it booted and installed correctly and at the first glance the system was working fine, connecting to the internet, downloading updates etc. However, this is not my option because I didn't have the option to add additional Repository during the installation from Live image (as it is in this guide, search the page for "Add the Amahi repository"). why the installation is not working in my setup?

I have a USB which I would like to make the device boot able. I have looked into fdisk and it appears that using fdisk I can only set a partition to a boot able. Please have a look at the output of fdisk command. In the following the sdb1 and sdc1 are both USB Memory Stick. As you can see the sdc1 is set as boot but the sdb1 is not.
Code: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

1. Are there any USB wireless (802.11) sticks that work with the standard FC13 load? The Rosewill card almost works with the DVD load but breaks with the first updates. After playing with the rt2870 and losing every time, I would just like to get a usb wireless adapter that works.
2. If there is no such animal, is there a PCI wireless card that works without a major Kabuki dance prior to setup?
3. Finally, if I do not want to me in the world of GUIs and want a bare machine to run wireless, is there some place to find how to set up a wireless network with WPA2 using the /etc/init.d/network, instead of NetworkManager.

I have a PC with no option for a keyboard. I have to install the operating systems without a keyboard or mouse.
I have to make a bootable USB stick which can allow me to connect to the PC from my Laptop with a VNC connection, then the complete installation using IP to IP. I did this with the following:
Download [URL] Extract the files of .iso to my laptop Add the manual file in CentOS-6.0-i386-minimal/isolinux/ks.cfg
install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Europe/Brussels
rootpw --iscrypted $6$i5qEWD.
selinux --disabled
[Code]....
This allows you to modify your original iso files with the new contents and pack it as one .iso file
Finally load unetbootin and burn to your USB or disk or CD
