Unable to mount any HD/USB stick. Screenshots included

Hi,
For a start,
- What flavour of #! are you using ?
- Is this a fresh install ?
- Did you try to make some custom partitioning ?
- Show me your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

Hi, I have the same error as antoniopt and run #! 8.10 full on a fresh install without making any custom partitioning.
I run pcmanfm as root and then I could access to my ntfs drive. But there was another problem, I couldn't read a video from that hard drive
I try pysdm too. And it works, I could play my video.
Just now I still don't know if I have to run pysdm after a reboot or if I have permanent access to my hard drive. I'll test it tomorrow.

Hi,

I think that to fix this permanently you'll need to edit you /etc/fstab file, which is beyond my level of technical expertise (although I did successfully do it once, a long time ago, with an Ubuntu install after spending a few hours reading instructions on the Ubuntu website). However, for a temporary solution I can help!

Here's what you need to do (apologies if any of this is already obvious to you):

1. Find out what your computer calls the drive you want to mount by typing

fdisk -l

. It will be something like sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sda2 etc

2. Create a directory to mount this drive to by typing

sudo mkdir /media/my_drive

where my_drive is some name of your own choosing.

3. Mount the drive by (if it is sda1) by typing

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/my_drive

I hope this helps.

^^ the issue is answered in the subsequent posts: root, fstab, pysdm - pick one.

By the way. Tried to copy some tunez on my new nokia phone from EEE 1005 HA running !#, and /almost/ failed.

I have installed crunchbang on my EEE due to howto posted by Amarant. Everything works fine, but when i plug in any thumbnail drive, nothing happens. The drive does not show in sudo fdisk -l output, gparted does not see it, and lsusb gives nothing at all and can not be interrupted by ctrl+c, the only way to do anything to pendrive or microsd is to run pcmanfm as root. Not only phones, but also pendrives (exactly the pendrive i installed #! from, for example) and sd cards are ignored.

At the same time, my desktop with vanilla !# installed automounts flash drives on the fly (does not see sd cards though).

Yes, i know how to run file manager as root and yes i know how to edit fstabs (in general), but why on earth should i? It is a very annoying bug. (
