Ubuntu :: Mounted Drives Invisible In Terminal AND Nautilus

Jan 27, 2010

I am using Karmic Koala and not finding uniform behavior regarding internal hard drive mounts. I have placed commands in fstab to mount partitions at boot. One a separate hard drive and the other a separate partition on the boot drive that I set up during OS installation. After boot, GParted shows both of these partitions mounted on the right points (in my case, /dd and /opt). Both the mount points have rw permissions for all. But neither "ls -l" in the terminal nor nautilus shows the drives. They are evidently invisible.I searched the net for hours looking for an answer to this and couldn't find it. Hope someone knows why this is going on.

Software :: DVD-R Mounted But Invisible To System

Dec 6, 2010

I have a DVD-R made by a friend who has found no fault. It will not play in my Panasonic DVD-recorder, and when I put the disc into the computer optical drive it does not appear in the places list, though the drive is mounted. I can display the video using Gnome Mplayer (but no other application) and I can copy to ISO using Gnomebaker, but this creates another unreadable disc. Gnomebaker finds a bad sector 120832 at 41% of the disc. If I could read the VOB files on the disk I might be able to make a playable copy, but it baffles me that Nautilus cannot read the disc.

Ubuntu :: How To Retain Mounted Drives In 9.10

Jan 25, 2010

On my computer I have one IDE drive that is my boot drive and a mirrored SATA raid set. When I login as "root" and mount the SATA volume it's always there. When I logout or shutdown if I login as root it's always mounted. I want to do the same thing for my own user ID. I did a search on having volumes mounted when I boot but they seem related to older versions of Ubuntu. It almost seems like a permissions problem since the "root" ID mounts the volume when I boot and my user ID does not.

Ubuntu :: Mounted Drives (USB) At Shutdown

Mar 15, 2010

OK got a couple of external USB hard drives and my mp3 player that are fairly often connected to my laptop. When updating the files on my mp3 player the other day I noticed something that seemed weird.After deletion of files there is same amount on the disk. After ejecting and reinserting things are still the same. To have the files correctly updated I have to Unmount the drive, then I see it flushing the .Trashes folder and actually freeing space on the drive.

Now the same thing seems to happen at Shutdown of the PC, files are not being updated and are still being seen by the mp3 player/hard drive. Think new files are being seen but old one not removed but not 100% sure.Is there anything I can do to force Ubuntu to correctly Unmount all drive at Shutdown so I don't have to do each one manually first? Or is there something else I am missing?

Ubuntu :: No Privileges For Mounted Drives

Apr 29, 2011

When I mount a drive to my computer (USB) it gives permission only to root. I have tried changing permissions using chown -R but this has not worked. I am not able to create folders on the drive or edit anything in any way. Is there a way for me to change the permissions or get into the folder as root?

Ubuntu :: How To Change Terminal App For Nautilus-open-terminal

Dec 1, 2010

I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.

However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.

I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.

A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.

Ubuntu :: Mounted Partition With Nautilus Attributed To Another User

Sep 15, 2010

I have a really odd problem when I mount a partition with Nautilus is attributed to another user, I don't know why. I've tried by adding the following like in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2 /media/windoze ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0
Then I can mount the partition but in this case it is attributed to the root and I don't have the permission to read it. I cannot understand why since I've given the 'user' option.

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Mounted Drives On Desktop?

Jul 27, 2010

I have installed Xubuntu on an old laptop which has a floppy disk.

On the desktop where mounted drives will normally appear, it constantly shows the floppy disk on the desktop even though there is not floppy inside, so I have disabled the desktop from showing mounted drives, however now anything else like a CD or USB drive will not show up on the desktop. Is there a way to choose what types of devices are shown on the desktop?

I have considered disabling the floppy from the BIOS(assuming that is possible), but I would rather not go down that road just yet.

Ubuntu :: Conky Display All Mounted Drives

Sep 18, 2010

So I'm running Fluxbox as my window manager in Xubuntu. I use ivman to automatically mount any usb devices.Now I was wondering if it's possible to have conky display all mounted drives and some information about them.I saw you can do {$ifmounted /media/blah} but this would assume I have a set number of devices preconfigured in fstab. It doesn't account for some random guy's flash drive, or a buddy's smartphone.

I know mount | grep sd outputs a list of mounted drives. So then could I somehow format that output and pass it to conky? Or do you guys have any more clever ideas on how I could accomplish this?

Ubuntu :: Disable Showing Of Mounted Volumes On Desktop And In Nautilus Sidebar?

May 1, 2010

I have a bit unusual request.
There are three partitions on my hard drive. Two of them were assigned to mount points / and /home during system installation. The third one was left intact.
After installation the first two partitions were automatically integrated into directory tree and there was a shortcut on the Nautilus sidebar for the third one. Then, I registered the third partition in /etc/fstab for automounting at /home/user/Data directory. For now it works fine, the volume is mounted on startup. But I still have the shortcut to this volume in Nautilus sidebar and icon on my Desktop.
I am interested, if it is possible to disable showing of this items on Desktop and in Nautilus to make the third partition look like registered at system setup time.

Ubuntu :: Change Default Permissions Of Removable Media Mounted Via Nautilus?

May 2, 2010

behavior in 9.04:plugged in a disk, mounted it and it as readable to the world.this is intended because it is shared via samba.behavior in 10.04:the disks have 700, meaning, they are not readable by samba.this is a problem.this is the best solution I've found so far:http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-u.../msg10951.htmlexcept, that the mentioned means to fix this are gone.(gconf-editor -> ..., storage and preferences -> removable media)after 3 hours of googleing and reading I'm rather upset about this bug.so please, if you are thinking of suggesting fixed entries in the fstab or anything else that will not work with every media that is plugged into this box, just close this tab.

Ubuntu Servers :: Mounted External Drives Keep Changing Designation

Mar 7, 2010

I have a headless 8.04 server with 2 USB drives attached. I'm trying to move everything off the 1.5TB drive onto a few 300GB drives (so I can then use LVM on the 1.5TB drive and move everything back onto LVs.)I check the drives using 'fdisk -l'. They show up as sdc1 and sdd1. I mount them and start a cp operation.When I run fdisk again, the drives are no longer sdc1 and sdd1. Now they are sde1 and sdf1 (and of course, they are no longer mounted.

What could be causing this and how do I fix it?I need to fix this ASAP because the 1.5 TB drive seems to be going bad. Every few seconds I hear a big "click" as though the head arms are smacking against a stop. (This is the 2nd brand new 1.5TB drive that has started doing this!)

Ubuntu :: Change Previously Generated Names For Mounted Drives?

Sep 24, 2010

Basically I have changed the default mount names for my windows partitions in Ubuntu. They were /media/data, /media/data_,/media/system reserved, etc

They are now /media/C,D,E,F

I have rebooted etc after the changes and when I look in Gnome places or in Nautilis the OLD names still show up.

HOWEVER when I run Nautilis as the root user all the CORRECT NEW names appear.

ALSO - if I create a BRAND NEW user account and login as that all the OLD names show up?

So this is something to do with ROOT access or whatever that is not allowing the names to be updated somehow?!?!?

As I use these disks in windows (obviously) I DONT want to change their labels. and basically this SHOULDN'T be the solution everyone is suggesting!

Root can generate the new names automatically based on the mount point in FSTAB why can't other users - and HOW to do do it MANUALLY?

Ubuntu :: External Hard Drives Won't Be Automatically Mounted After Upgrading Some Packages

Sep 8, 2010

1) Environment:
Ubuntu 10.04

2) Phenomenon:
External hard drives won't be automatically mounted after upgrading some packages...

I have a "not good" habit: I'd love to upgrade whatever suggested by Ubuntu upgrading center every morning.
However, after upgrading some packages for today, my computer won't be able to automatically mount external harddrives, including file systems ext4 and ntfs.

My question is:
1) How can I check what packages have been upgraded just within today?
2) How to make my Ubuntu be able to automatically mount external hard drives whenever I plug in a harddrive as before?
