Ubuntu :: Remount A Usb Drive With Nautilus In Lynx?
May 8, 2010
After using "safely remove drive" on a usb drive automatically mounted (in lucid lynx) i no longer have the ability to remount that drive without cycling its power.I don't know if it has anything to do with removing the "unmount" option from nautilus in favor of cleaning up menu.Anyway I didnt see any forum posts on the issue ---ps. anyone have trouble using a proprietary gfx driver (nvidia for me), a custom console resolution (specified by grub), and the splash screen - when trying to access the ctrl-alt-function tty's?seems the resolution is all screwed up or something and i cant see the login prompt. disabling splash via grub fixed it fine (EDIT - did not fix it)

I'm running Maverick on an older Stinkpad. I have a btrfs /home as a second partition on the internal HDDand a brand shiny new 3TB external USB western digital drive also formatted btrfs. I'm having a problem whenever I hibernate/suspend the laptop by closing the lid and start it back up later, the external drive won't remount unless I do a complete reboot. I have no entry in /etc/fstab for the external drive.Quote:Unable to mount "blah" DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending

I have thumb drive connected to a busybox box.I mounted it /opt in initialzation file. However after a while it will unmount itself because it changes its drive letter from sda1 to sdb1. How could a usb device change its drive letter by itself? How could I prevent it happening?

For starters, I apologize if this turns out to be a double post. My windows laptop hiccupped in the middle...
So I had a Linux box with two drives running happily for years. Both drives were in the same logical volume, and the second had a file system on it.
The the boot drive croaked. I replaced it and reinstalled CENTOS (making sure, of course, to be careful to use the new drive). The I put the second drive back into the volume group (and that's it).
I'm assuming I probably need to create a new logical volume, because that's how it was before, but I really really don't want to format it.
Am I missing a step or am I screwed?
Fsck -l showed the following output both before and after I put the drive in the volume group. code...

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?

I added my wife to my system and gave her adm admin access. I compared my access to her's and it is the same. Yet, when I log on as her, the 1TB USB drive does not show up in Places.
I tried mounting it and it said it was already mounted in /media/FantomDid find with "ls" command that is indeed mounted there, but since it doesn't show in Places, it cannot be accessed.Been searching and hunting and cannot find out why this is. If I would have made up her userid from the start, I wouldn't have this problem, but since Ijust added her,I cannot find a way to get her UID to "see" the Fantom USB drive

I can insert a " burned " CD and it boots and plays right away , but if I insert a purchased music CD or other Purchased media it just scans and does nothing . I've gone to "places " and opened the CD drive and get the message " no media found "or Insert media .Also in the properties tab of the CD drive type is "unknown " and permissions can't be determined .

For some reason, my CD/DVD drive is not visible in Nautilus. I I can't see it either as a top-level item in Tree or Places views or in File System > /media. There is a /media/cdrom entry, but nothing in it, even with a DVD in the drive. When I type "sudo blkid," there is no entry for the DVD drive. It is physically connected and I can read from it when I dual-boot into Windows XP; just can't find it in Ubuntu

I want nautilus to automatically mount my external drive when ubuntu 10.04 starts. This drive is encrypted, but the key has already been stored and all I have to do is click on it in my Places menu for it to mount.
It mounts to: /media/Will's Drive
I feel like I shouldn't have to edit fstab or anything like that. If I can add it to my startup programs, that would be great, I just need to know the command to get nautilus to open up /media/Will's Drive at startup.

Under Ubuntu 11.04, Nautilus isn't seeing my second hard drive (ext3 200GB). ...It's a backup of my home folder that was on the Ubuntu 8.04 primary drive. So how does one go about copying the data from the second hard drive to the primary hard drive then?

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) with Gnome Classic (no effects) desktop. I have an external USB drive on which I have cloned my sda drive that contains my Ubuntu partition and an XP partition. Both of these partitions mount automatically. For some reason, Nautilus opens randomly on its own for each of these partitions. When this happens, two copies of Nautilus open; one for each of the partitions. I have not been able to discern any pattern for when nautilus opens. This actually began to happen in Maverick shortly before I upgraded to Natty. Any ideas on what the cause is and how I can stop this from happening?

I am having some trouble with usb flash drive lately:when plugging in: all nautilus windows close all icons disappear from the desktop but reappear seconds later after a couple of seconds of high cpu usage I can open a new nautilus windows and the drive is properly mounted.I have apport enabled: once in a while there is apport running and trying to gather a report which cannot be sent because it is an assert failure.. once in a blue moon apport gives me the not-enough-memory error message (screenshot here) but I don't think it should need more than 400MB I had at that moment.dmesg gives this..:
Code:
[100146.868071] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[100147.003565] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I don't know why it's happening or what caused it, but just a few minutes ago it occurred that every time I unmount/power down my external hard drive from within the Nautilus browser, Ubuntu freezes and Caps Lock starts blinking, indicative of a kernel panic. It doesn't do this when I Safely Remove the drive from the right-click menu on the drive's desktop icon. Even stranger is that no other external device I've tried causes the panic. It only does this with this particular external hard drive and it's a repeatable error.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it? EDIT: To note, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with the 2.6.32.33 kernel. Not Ubuntu 11.04.

Earlier tonight my computer froze when I was moving some folders on an external hard drive (ntfs) and I had to manually shut down. Now nautilus crashes whenever I try to access the drive, although if I open nautilus as root it works fine.

We have recently upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 64bit from 10.04 and 10.10 in a networked office in which our home directories are mounted on a server raid array. Ubuntu considers that the home directory is a local drive rather than on a networkWe have noticed that file preview are very very slow in 11.04 for pdf's and pictures in nautilus, causing a lag of around 10 seconds for each file. This can cause a problem for folders which hold multiple files which can be previewed. Preview worked fine in previous versions of ubuntu on the same machine, with the same network setup. Previewing of actual local files works faster, but is slower on 11.04, than previous versions.
Both the 10.10 and 11.04 systems are up to date with available updates (11.04 - 2.32.2.1 and 2.30.1 on ubuntu 10)Obviously, there is a work around for this problem - turn off preview. But, it would be nice to turn it on as its a useful feature.

I installed Debian Squeeze using "dmraid=true" because I have an onboard RAID controller. Everything is fine except when I go into Nautilus I see, the raid array and the 2 disk inside the RAID array. This is a little confusing!
Is there a way to fix that? Is this only a bad config in fstab?

I'm trying to install WoW on my Ubuntu machine and I'm having trouble right off the hop. I'm using an install DVD thru wine and it says since the Installer.exe is hidden I need to remount my drive with the unhide option on.
I'm following this guide [URL]
This is the part of the guide I'm getting stuck at
Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal:
sudo umount /dev/cdrom
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/
The unmount part works just fine but when I go to remount the drive it gives me this error:
mount: mount point /media/cdrom0/ does not exist

I used the Ubuntu 8.04 disc and went to the terminal, got the grub prompt and followed the couple of lines to setup Grub on (hd0,0), which I confirmed through Fdisk was the location of the boot. I also used my gParted CD to check the partitions and on gParted it is marked as hda,a. The flag shows it is an active boot, as does the * on the Ubuntu terminal show. I am getting the "..exist...no" message. I have xp32 on hd0,1, 64 on hd0,2 and ubuntu on hdo,6.
The machine was working properly and then it was stored for a year. It works fine with the live cd and I have the GRUB shell, which lands me at the GRUB prompt. I am assuming that the kernel is not mounted ? (whatever that entails, as GRUB one message said I had to install kernel before.....
Anyway, I remember that installing the three systems was quite grueling, as I first installed 32, then changed the boot ini file, and then installed 64 and changed the boot ini file there, and then installed ubuntu - with great trepidation- as it seems to want to partition my discs, which I pre-partitiond with gParted. I guess I could copy the GRUB text and the Windows text from another machine that has the same basic install, and redo it.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit (Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic) and sometimes my /home partition is remounting in read-only and i have no idea why. Normally I only use programms like Firefox, Rhythmbox, Evolution and Netbeans 6.8. Should I switch to the EXT3 filesystem?
dmesg shows me the following information:

In Fedora 15, when I plug a USB drive, Nautilus will automatically open and show whats inside of it. I'm working in a project where I have to plug and unplug USB drives many times, and Nautilus opening every time is really annoying. I tried to use gconf-edit and set the keys apps>nautilus>preferences>media_automount and media_automount_open to false, but it didn't work.

while since I've been here. I'm having an issue with a fresh install of 11.04. Due to work requirements, I encrypted my home folder, which is fine, however, it seems to randomly lock itself down while I'm working, and it's getting really annoying.
Apps stop working, I can't open nautilus (something about not being able to create certain folders because home is locked), hell, even the terminal link on my desktop says failed to launch application (though the launcher on the top panel works). I just have to run ecryptfs-mount-private and enter my password to fix it, but it's doing this every 15 minutes or so. what might cause it to relock itself so frequently? I would expect to not have to deal with mounting my private data, that should happen at login and be good until log out.

2 days ago I had installed Fedora 9 on an old machine. The installation was from a Flash USB, and was OK and the kernel on thar installation was 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.
After the installation I updated the system, and all looks to be ok, and the system was set with the kernel 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686.
But when I start the system with the latest kernel itÅ› get blockd on "remounting root filesystem in read-write mode" step, but not with the original kernel witch start correctly.

After update to 11.4, I would like to regain access to my encrypted home that I left intact. Both user.img and user.key files are there, but when I create the same user again in YaST, it does not recognize their presence and it asks again for size of the image. I am afraid it will just overwrite the old image. I do have full backup of hte data, but since its 150GB, I would rather not have to transfer it again.
How can I remount my old encrypted home?

I recently built a computer for a friend that is only going to be used to run a network share.
The problem I am running into is that whenever the computer restarts the share, while visible, cannot be accessed by the two Windows 7 laptops in the house.
If I run 'sudo umount /media/storage' followed by 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/storage' the once visible but inaccessible share is now accessible.
I do not understand why this would be. I have added the line 'usershare owner only = false' to my smb.conf file.
