Problems with usb pen drive

[Neal ManBear]

With your stick plugged in, open PCManFM. Does your stick appear in its left hand menu? If so, when you click it, does your stick get mounted? If not, change from /home/aleph/ to /media. Does your stick show up there?

Hi Neal,

I can't see the pen drive after plug in on PCManFM. The Media directory doesn't exist (?)

I take a shot of PcmanFM.




[Here is not Aleph, is Salud, this is the laptod of my daughter  ]

[Aleph]

open a terminal and type:
Code:

udevadm  monitor

then plug in your stick.

What happen ?

(press CTRL + C  to quit udevadm)

Hi As,

this is the output

Code: [Select]

[salud@localhost ~]$ udevadm  monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

If /media does not exist, you will not be able to mount a usb stick.     

Open Synaptic > Reload > Mark All Upgrades > Apply and again Apply >>> reinstall - libfm, libfm-gtk, pcmanfm, gamin and shared-mime-info.   

[Neal ManBear]

BTW, /media is not part of /home/<name> In the address entry field, type /media and then type the Enter key.     

[Aleph]

Hi Neal,

I reinstalled all the packages, reboot, and pluged in.

BTW, /media is not part of /home/<name> In the address entry field, type /media and then type the Enter key.   

Yes exist... but I got a error. Here is a shot:

[Neal ManBear]

Click to accept > click Tools - open current folder as root - give root password when asked.     

[Aleph]

I Neal,

I plugged in again, went to /media but now no errors, the file is empty, and the pen drive is not empty. (?)

[Aleph]

I went to My PC (PCmanFM) was the pen drive "Nuevo Volumen", did "open" and my cpu got creasy again running at 100%

Are you saying that what you reported so far was from a different PC ?

[Aleph]

No Neal,

Mi PC is a option in PCManFM for view all the computer devices.

Now I rebooted, plugged in one more time and I got the same error, I did

Click to accept > click Tools - open current folder as root - give root password when asked. 

and I got a new massage: Falló al ejecutar el proceso hijo «xdg-su» (No existe el fichero o el directorio)

[Neal ManBear]

PCManFM > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Switch user command -- change from xdg -c %s to gksu %s.     

computer///:  ==  /     Simple and quicker to type.      

[Aleph]

EUREKA!

The pen was open now Neal!

But how to do this automatically when I plug in?

When you plug in your usb stick, there should be a pop up asking you if you want to open it in file manager. Type <Enter> key or click OK to open/mount it. If you don't get the pop up, reinstall libnotify.     

[Aleph]

libnotify was not installed, (where installed libnotify1 and libnotify4), BTW I installed libnotify, rebooted and plugged in, but nothing happened

I went again to /media (root) and I could open the pen one more time. I tried to copy a file and paste on /home/salud/Documentos but I couldn't, I got a new error message:  access denied.

Uff, sorry Neal so many problems.
