I am running Mandriva Linux 2010.2 KDE. Linux doesn't detect my thumbdrive when I plug it in. Do I have to change some settings to make it detect? The thumbdrive is in FAT32 format.
View 12 RepliesI upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 yesterday, using a 64-bit Dell 1535 laptop.
With the new version, I find that the Device Notifier no longer detects my mp3 player through any of the USB ports. Neither does Dolphin.
Similar threads that I've read through have not done the trick.
I want to devolep one "C/C++" program that will work as a daemon. My daemon will be running all the time, and whenever anybody attaches removable devices to machine on which my daemon is running, My daemon should catch that event and also should show me where that device has been mounted.

But my usb devices are not automounting. Is there a pacakage im missing? I've read that XBMC should be able to handle mounting of devices and that no window manager or desktop environment is needed to handle this.
I followed these two tutorials and my current install is 10.04 Lucid.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed Squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64 on my laptop (Alienware M17X R3, Intel i7 Sandybridge, ATI Technologies Inc Broadway [ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6800 Series])The screen is 17", with maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. After a default install of the operating system, the maximum resolution I can select is 1280 x 1024.My research so far has suggested that I need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and provide xorg with the necessary resolution.
Again, by default, the xorg.conf file is not created. This leads me to believe that xorg is scanning my hardware at startup and providing me with whatever it thinks is appropriate. I tried following these instructions to generate an xorg.conf file. This process created an xorg.conf file under /root/.
When I copy this xorg.conf file to /etc/X11, I get a blank (i.e. black) screen. Deleting this file restores the default resolution 1280 x 1024.This system is dual booting with Windows 7. Under windows I am able to get a 1920 x 1080 resolution, so I know my hardware is up to it.At this stage I have yet to install the drivers for the Radeon graphics card.What are my options regarding configuring xorg to give me a higher screen resolution?
I have a new F12 install, and my syslog is filling up with messages about USB. I have 2 USB devices plugged in directly to the mobo (bluetooth keyboard receiver, touchscreen), and it keeps redetecting them and then disabling the port for some reason.
A small sample of what keeps on repeating:

To find the appropriate firmware without knowing the make or brand of your wireless chip, you can use the command:
#fw-detect
But apparently debian package do not offer this useful tool, well, certainly for sidux exclusively.
Is there a package of fw-detect eventually?
We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Debian 8.2 without DE. I can mount removable devices (USB sticks, external HDDs) manually using mount/umount to specific folders under /mnt or /media. But I want them mount automatically when plugged-in as /media/disk-label. Also I want to be able safely remove already mounted devices without data loss.As I understand, I need to create custom UDEV rule and associate it with mount/umount scripts. E.g. mount script

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm going traveling and I had the bright idea of putting my sensitive and irreplaceable files on an sd card. Then if I leave my stuff in a sketchy hostel for the day, I can easily take the card and might lose only a replaceable netbook. The problem is that I want some files to have 600 permissions (rw-------), readable and writable only by owner.
But no power on earth seems to be able to force a fuse-ified filesystem to pay attention. Whether I try "chmod 600 filename.txt" as the owner/user or as sudo makes no difference. Nothing works. The sd card is mounted with a line in /etc/fstab:
Code: Select allUUID=0000-0000 /mnt/64_GB_sdxc exfat auto,rw,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0022,flush,fmask=133 0 0
So the user owns the files and they have typical permissions instead of the automounted default of 700. That's all very nice, but I'd like to be able to change permissions on just a few files!
I used to have all my mp3s, photos, etc. on a Seagate "Freeagent" removable USB drive and share it over a Windows network. We've gone all Linux in the house and I tried to export the same drive over NFS (got the NTFS support installed, ntfs-3g) but get this error:

I'm using Fedora 12, and I want to mount/unmount my USB memory stick from the command line. I know I could edit /etc/fstab and so on, but I want to emulate what happens when you mount using the GUI (I use KDE and the device notifier), that is, I want to be able to do this as an unprivileged user and not have to know the mount point exists in advance.
I'm sure in older versions of Fedora there was a command something like `gnome-user-mount' which let me do this knowing only the filesystem label... What is the current equivalent?
I have a 2 TB hard drive in an external USB caddy that I use for backups. The drive gets automatically mounted when connected to F13, which is great, and the default mount options it uses are:Code:rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisksHowever, I want to add an extra option or two but I don't know where I can do this. Does anyone know where I can add mount options onto the default set?
