Ubuntu / Apple :: Accessing USB Flash Drive - CD Not Working
Oct 24, 2010
I have a usb flash drive plugged in to my newly created Ubuntu system. A df command shows this:
george@george-laptop:~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdi1 231594420 8825300 211004724 5% /

/dev/sdj1 7808768 17152 7791616 1% /media/8G FLASH
george@george-laptop:~$
How do I change my directory to the flash drive? CD doesn't work.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden when I plug in a Corsair flash drive with a fat32 files system, it registers on the notifier, but when I try to open it in Dolphin, Dolphin opens in the /home/documents folder. Ditto when I try it as root. Media won't open to anything, and when I click on the Corsair listing in the folders on the left side of Dolphin, I get the error message: unknown file system 'vfat'. I have used this drive for over a year with no previous problems, and can access it in 11.3 on my laptop, so I suspect that a setting or something in my system has changed.

I'm going to put Ubuntu on my thumb drive. It's a rather large drive, so I might as well make use of the extra space.
Do I format it to FAT? Never done this before. Also, how do I enable it when I boot up? Do I have to make my computer to boot from the USB drive first in the BIOS settings or is there an easier way to do it (like clicking on an icon inside the USB virtual drive on the desktop).

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an 8GB flash drive, and through much effort, was able to boot it on my white MacBook (2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM). I find that responsiveness is really poor, for example, the display frequently freezes when I switch windows, or load a web page. Is this expected for Ubuntu that's running from a flash drive? Are there ways to improve this?

So I recently downloaded ubuntu 11.04 and have it running alongside OSX on my Macbook Pro. I'd like to access the files (specifically music) on the OSX partition.

So I just realized that I am not allowed to access my documents folder which I backed up but I get an error saying I do not have permission or something along those lines. I remember a while back that there was something I could do along the lines of changing my ubuntu user and group and that would make the mac folder think that I am the owner of it. How do i do this and will this work?

I am running a 32-bit Fedora 11 OS (in GNOME).
My 2GB Kingston Flash Drive is plugged into my hp pavilion dv6000; the light on the flash drive is on but there is no icon on my desktop, and it is also missing from the 'Places' tab.
After typing fdisk -l I receive the following message:
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d7c32
[Code]...
I've plugged in the drive to different USB slots to no avail. I also plugged in my e-reader to see if my USB slots were malfunctioning, but the e-reader was detected by Fedora.
I have plugged the thumb drive into my Windows 7 Desktop PC with the hope of the OS recognizing the drive, but the result is the same as in my laptop.

I'm trying to use an Apple wireless keyboard with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) but the fn key is not working at all. If I start up xev and hit the fn key it generates no event. What do I need to do for it to work. It seems as if it should work when viewing pages like

I made a persistent install of Ubuntu on a flash drive. I made changes to that installation. The software (Unetboontin) sets this all up. I think it partitions it for you. How do I image that flash drive to another flash drive?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my USB stick, and it boots fine. I want to be able to use the PC's hard drive, though, for storage of my files. My PC has WinXP on it and I dont want to lose it either. Is there any way by which I can mount the hard drive whenever I boot using the USB stick so that I can use it for storage?

i somehow managed to corrupt ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop and subsequently, i loaded a fresh version of ubuntu 10.10 on another partition. i want to access the data in the home folder of the other (previous) partition, but sudo nautilus gives me root privileges only in the current "filesystem" and not on the home folder of the other partition.
although i've been using ubuntu for some time now, but i am largely ignorant about most of the terminal commands.

I'd like to setup a drive on my Ubuntu Server (10.04.2 LTS) so two laptops running Windows 7 can read/write to it via the local network.
Can Windows read/write to ext2/3/4, or do I need to format the drive as NTFS?

i installed ubuntu on my ppc g4 the other day and have noticed it has been WAY slower than osx 10.4.11.i am aslo having trouble playing flash videos, i have searched the problem and it has told me there is no adobe for ppc's using ubuntu... i installed gnash and swfdec in an attempt to get something, but its not working.
i would like to know if there is any solution to the video problem and any reason you can think of that my computer would be so slow. i only use my computer for music, videos and the odd game so if nothing can be fixed ill have to go back to osx.. *sigh* maybe give linux another try when i buy a better computer

I have a macbook pro 5,3 with Karmic installed, with firefox and the adobe flash plugin. Sometimes to get a flash video to play (like .....) I need to right click on the play button and then left click twice, rather than a simple left click like normal. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Do others have this problem?

this actually is bugging me not for the fact it has anything to do with ubuntu. my high end pc with ubuntu is my main computer but when i need a laptop i've got this obsolete macbook pro g4. that until a week ago had osx tiger on it. buddy of mine gave me an iso for ubuntu 9 (will upgrade to 10 when i get all bugs worked out). i went to a few of my fav sites (videos and facebook) and couldn't load adobe flash (no longer supported). are there any ubuntu ppc flash alternatives?
just a quick knowledge of my linux ability, i don't know anything about installing tar.gz files. so i preferbly a debian/ubuntu install package would be perfect . but i will work with whatever is provided.

I'm dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 and win7. I have an NTFS partition on my disk and whenever i want to browse files on that partition I'm required to enter my password. my problem is that my music folder is located on that partition, and as a result, whenever I open rhythmbox, it cant access the files on that partition and begins to remove them from the library. in order to prevent this i must browse to that partition manually and enter my password upon request, prior to opening rhythmbox.
on a side note - shouldn't the spell checker on the Ubuntu forums recognize "Ubuntu" as a legit word ?

I have an MSI Wind with Windows, Ubuntu Netbook Remix and another Ubuntu derivative installed on my 80gb drive. I recently acquired a 160gb drive, which I plan to put into the Wind. I cloned the 80gb drive, which left me with an identical configuration, plus 80gb of unallocated free space. The problem is that I already have 4 primary partitions; the last of them (adjacent to the free space) is divided up into 4 extended partitions. I tried to make the free space available in gparted, but it won't let me create a new partition because I already have 4 primaries. Is there some way I can get this into the last primary partition? I tried expanding the size of the extended partitions in the 4th primary partition, but gparted won't let me do this.

I have a network where several machines are connected through a switch. I'd like all machines to be able to read/write to/from the hard drives of the other machines. for example:
machine1 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
machine2 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine1
machine3 will read/write files that are on the hard drive of machine2
etc etc...
all of this reading/writing will be done through the terminal, and programatically. rather than SSHing into a machine to read/write files from it, I'd be happy to set up some 'conventions' on how to access hard drives of various machines. for example:
'hdd1' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.1).
'hdd2' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.2).
'hdd3' will refer to the hard drive of machine1 (that has the static IP of 192.168.0.3).
etc etc...
this way, when I want to read/write a file, its PATH will be something like ~/hdd1/myfile.txt; ~/hdd2/anotherfile.txt;

I know it is not advisable to write to a NTFS drive with linux. Though I'm using Knoppix and Fedora 11, is it safe to access my video and music files from linux, while I am working under them or would it be best to use external media to get them.

I've installed Ubuntu Meerkat on a new build that has two HD's. The installation process saw and setup the first drive but seemed to ignore the second. Using the disk utility under Administration, I formatted and then partitioned the second drive. I then added a line to the fstab.
The disk usage utility under Applications-Accessories sees the increased space, however I don't know how to access it.Under previous versions of Ubuntu, in this situation all of the hard drives would be visible under Computer and Nautilus but they're not.Any suggestions as to how I can access that second drive?

I have set up VNC on my Centos5 Server via the instructions here:
[URL]
I am able to log in via VNC through a browser (on my Window laptop), however when I try to access my USB hard drive on the Centos Server, it says:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied
Does anyone know of any step by step instructions so that I can be able to access my USB Hard drive?
I have found a few posts on the internet about this, however the fixes are either vague/hard to understand etc?

Back in Febuary, my wife bought a Toshiba Satilite from Wal-Mart and a few days ago the hard drive got toasted. So now I'm using an 8gig usb drive as the boot drive. I also have 2 other flash drives for downloads and such but overall I am very pleased.
I'm running 11.04 32 bit and was wandering if 64 bit made a difference. I've got 4 gigs of ddr3. It's slow to boot, but once it's running, it's faster then Windows 7. Very nice.
Is there anything I should chage, use, since I'm running it off a flash drive??
I have 3 seperat drives, 2 x 16 gigs and an 8 gig, and was wandering which one would be best for booting off of? What do I look for??
Here's what I got:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS880 Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems Device 9602
00:06.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 2)

A year ago I put some stuff on my external hard drive and now I'd like to retrieve it. I've upgraded through a couple of versions of Ubuntu since then and now it doesn't work. I saw that this is a frequent problem in the forums but couldn't find a solution.
How I can access my drive?

when I load into Ubuntu 11.04 from my USB drive, why can't I access the files on my internal hard drive? I mount the drive but I cannot see any of the music, videos or documents contained on that drive (which is also an Ubuntu 11.04 drive). I was wondering so I could copy those files onto my external hard drive and reinstall since my Ubuntu crashed.

i've suddenly got problems with flash - it was working fine until a cuple of days ago.i have flash 10.1.82. 76 ubuntu0.10.04.2 on ubuntu 10.04, but videos and other flash sites tell me i need to upgrade to the latest flash version 10.i've tried flash-aid, which seems to run ok but i still have the problem.at the same time, i can suddenly only run firefox tools > add-ons in safe mode - if i choose tools > addons in normal mode, fx locks up completely, and finally gives me the option to force quit. i've tried re-enabling add-ons one at a time, but no problem until i come out of safe mode.i'm wondering if this is a firefox problem rather than ubuntu or flash. my firefox is 3.6.8
