Ubuntu Installation :: Auto Mount After Upgrading To 10.4
Jun 12, 2010
I upgraded to 10.4 and installed Grub on a wrong drive. This means that I have it on the right drive (the one with Ubuntu) and in the wrong one (the one use for data). I have no problems with booting to Ubuntu or Windows. I can even access the files from the data drive (called Storage) after the systems boots. The thing is that I can't auto mount it anymore (with /etc/fstab) and I don't know how to remove grub from the drive, because I can't find where the boot files are. When booting Ubuntu, a message appears saying that there has been an error when trying to mount the drive, I press 'S', to skip the mounting and it goes to the desktop with no problems after that. I only want to be able to auto mount it, even if I can't remove it.
This is the info from Boot Info Script:
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #1 for /boot/grub.
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive in partition #1 for /boot/grub .....

I was using 11.3, everything worked fine Upgraded to 11.4, now no drives will automount. As a result applications like Nero and K3B cannot find my DVD drive. I can access the drives from an application like VLC where I can enter the device path /dev/dvd
Dmesg and tail -f /var/log/messages output the following error:
118.604577] udisks-daemon[6574]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f5597c6b990 sp 00007fffd2e65470 error 4 in libdbus-glib-1.so.2[7f5597c60000+20000]
[ 118.757166] udisks-daemon[6580]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f557b302990 sp
[Code]....
I suspect there is a bug or incompatablitiy with HAL/dbus/udisks but I cannot track it down.

I upgraded Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 desktop a few weeks ago and an external USB drive that was mounting at startup on 9.04 is no longer mounting on 9.10. If I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in it comes up. The issue is strange in that when a regular non-admin logs in the drive auto mounts but does not for an admin login. I have not been able to put together search results that would lead me to a hint of why this would occur and/or what aresolution may be.Why would the drive auto mount when a regular user logs in but not auto mount for an admin? When I say admin I guess what I mean is a user with more privileges such as member of the admin group.

I've just upgraded to the 11.04 beta, everything working fine to start with (apart from not being able to find anything in the new interface!), but now, a few days later, the nfs mounts to my NAS are broken. I've had a quick go at manually mounting; for instance, if I try to mount 192.168.1.1/Public to /home/Public (where it usually is) it says that the mount point doesn't exist. It's not true, I can see it, and if I test it by trying a mkdir it confirms it. This is a pretty big deal, I've got ALL my stuff on the NAS. I can still see it from my phone and the web interface of the NAS, so I know it's there...Should I just re-install 10.10 and be patient until the final release comes out?

I was running ubuntu and windows 7 as dual boot, I taught of trying out fedora 13 and installed it. I faced some issues with grub, like it does not detected my ubuntu, so, I used my ubuntu live cd and restored my ubuntus grub. So, now I want to use the fedora grub. I cannot restore it. Can I get restoring the grub from fedora's live CD?
And, I am using gnome as desktop environment, when I go to places and click anyof my partitions, it asks me root password, I am little frustrated to give password of root every time I mount any-of the partitions. In my ubuntu, It doesn't need any root password, It just auto mounts the partitions. How do we do that?
Here is my "fdisk -l "

I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

I'm in need of a bit of assistance from you Debian users. I have two servers that I thought were identical installations, both running Debian Lenny. Tonight I started the upgrade to Squeeze on both servers and one of them went smooth. The other one started out good but fails on the postconfiguration of openssh-server. I'm getting the following message:
Code:
Setting up openssh-server (1:5.5p1-4) ...
Auto configuration failed
2524:error:0E079065:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD_BIO:missing equal sign:conf_def.c:366:line 67
invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.
[Code].....
It looks like there's an error in one of the files in openssh-server that prohibits it from installing correctly. However on the other server it all went well.

I can't mount my usb drive since upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04. I have tried
sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
Which was installed, then
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
The message I got was this
Failed to determine whether /dev/sdb1 is mounted: No such file or directory.Mounting volume... Error opening partition device: No such file or directory.Failed to startup volume: No such file or directory.
[code]...
Not sure what any of this means, but there is nothing wrong with the drives. I have 4 external hard drives and I receive the same message from all of them. On the other hand, sometimes it doesn't even recognize the hard drive at all.

Is there any way to specify what partitions of my USB Hard drive automount? There's really only one I want mounted automatically, and I've made three partitions. I'd like it so the one mounts, but the other 2 don't. Possible?

I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu, 11.04. When I first installed, I could plug in my USB thumb drive and it was automatically mounted for me. Lately, this no longer happens... I use the Disk Utility to mount it manually. What I did wrong to lose this automatic mounting?

I just installed kubuntu 9.10 and noticed that several partitions (fat32 and ntfs) are mounted automatically after I login. I searched /etc/fstab but found no entries for those partitions. So I guess there may be something like start-up scripts that automatically detect and mount all partitions on the hard disk at boot/login. Does anybody know the location of those scripts (if any)? I want to disable that auto mount.

I wanted to mount a drive permanently that I see in my Places -> Network ->
I can add it no problem, but I want it to always mount it when it is available when I am not around.
Once I mount it in the GUI is there any way to make that mount a permanent one?

I have 9.10 and notice that when I look in Places none of my volumes/partitions are mounted - if I click on them I have to enter my user password to authenticate to gain access. My problem is that (with some help) I have set up rsync so it runs when I shut down my PC and backs up my Home folder from a partition on sda to a partition on sdb - this is great but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I have done some tests and discovered that if I use my PC and never manually mount my backup sdb partition the rsync does not work (I also have GAdmin-rysnc so I can run manually backup but this also will not run if I do no mount the sdb volume). However, if I do mount the sdb backup partition and close down/restart then the backup works. What I need is my sdb backup partition to be automatically mounted every time I switch on - can this be done? I'm sure I had this working in 9.04 (auto mounting) but 9.10 seems not to like it.

On my laptop I have Windows and Ubuntu, and I use Ubuntu very often. How can I auto-mount the NTFS partitions once I run my Ubuntu without the need to manually ask to mount it and confirm with the root password each time and for each partition?

My 16gb usb memory stick now fails to mount. The device can be seen in gparted but partition is shown as unknown. Tried to format but error message popped up "failed". The device is shown in dmesg see below. I had tried to use the device to create a bootable usb but this did not work and the problems happen there after.
dmesg:

I have many flash drives, memory sticks, card reader, and 2 mybook 1tb so i am constanly plugging in, or unplugging devices from my machine running the latest version of ubuntu (i beleive 10.04?). I remember when i use to connect a device it would mount and work right off the bat. but now, everytime i connect anything, i have to go through Disk Utility to select the drive and mount it (also unmount before disconnect). Another problem is that some times disk utility doesnt like to work (as with a few other programs). This happends every now and then and im not sure if its my systems hardware or this version of ubuntu. every now and then programs like to stop responding (turn grey) and some programs like disk utility will open up, but just be blank and not show the detected devices

I just changed the os on my media server from Windows Home Server to Unbuntu 10.4 server. I got most of it working (samba, twonkymedia)
The only thing i have left to get working is the backup of that server. I installed bacula as i beleive it will do the job (unless someone has a better and simpler to configure idea) and i would like it to backup to my external usb 1Tb hard drive. I am able to mount the drive manually but this server gets turn on and off often to save power (and cut the electric bill) when not in use. I tried adding a line to fstab but when a do that, the server gets stuck on the startup even with the drive turned on. I read somewhere that i should use the UUID of the drive as it could change from sbd1 to sbh1 on restart so i did, same result.

My 10.04 64-bit desktop has been auto-mounting USB devices (flash drives and my mp3 player) as read-only for some reason. I had this issue happen once a while in the past, so I simply re-mounted it as rw.
Code:
mike@mike-desktop:~$ mount | grep -i 36CB
/dev/sdc1 on /media/36CB-D1A8 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)

I've been trying to unsuccessfully auto-mount my drives when starting up. I've made a script that sets me to the root using "sudo -s" and then mounts the drives. The commands to mount the drives work properly when entered into the command line, but when I try running them from an executable, they don't work. What might I be missing?

Im setting up a Mythbuntu box as a HTPC, and I want to be able to stream my media from my Windows box to the Mythbuntu box. I got the windows shares mounted fine, everything works. But I want them to auto mount so I modded my /etc/fstab file to mount the share. The problem is the Mythbuntu box uses wifi, and during boot the computer can't connect to the Windows box, and it hangs on
Quote:
Error while mounting /blah/blah/ press s to skip or m for manual recovery and I am planning on not having a kbd hooked up to this computer once it is done.
1) Is there a better way to auto mount Windows shares - one that does the mounting after the computer is booted up? Furthermore, the Windows box may be off, so I want it to just skip the mounting on error.
2) Right now when I mount the share, I have to specify the Windows computer by its IP address. If I do it by PC name, it doesn't work, says it can't find the computer. Is there a way to mount using the computer name, so that if my router decides to give the windows box a new IP I wont have to reload everything?

One problem I'm having is with getting some apps to access NAS hosted files and folder over samba. Two examples are photo managment apps and backup apps, which seem to only want to work with local files and folders.I have come across a number of articles about cifs, autofs, gigolo, fstub, etc (including the autofs community documentation). But so far I've had no luck in auto mounting a samba shared resource as local.
Can anyone point me to a definitive tutorial, or provide an explanation on how I might accomplish auto mounting samba shares?

So I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on an ibook g4 1.2 ghz powerpc with 256 mb ram. Yeah I know kinda funny given all the lack of future support but it works nonetheless. I can't get my 1st gen iphone (3.1.3) to mount. It is however recognized from the cli Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:1290 Apple, Inc. iPhone what should i do? I have a partition of mac os x 10.4.11 installed which also doesn't recognize the device (leopard is required).
I have all the modules and mobile device libraries installed from ubunutu software center but still I can't get it to mount. Are there any commands i should try? I'm still a complete novice at the command line.
