Problems with usb pen drive

[Neal ManBear]

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.

     
In PCManFM in /media, right click the entry for your drive and choose properties > permissions. Change ownership and group from root / root to <username> / <username>.     
This must be done as root.

Hi Neal,

this is working!!! now I have a pop asking when a plug in and I can copy and paste!

One more question please.

For remove the pen drive safely what have I do? The last time I do my system crashed suddenly...

[Aleph]

I did, sorry, my system crashed

I should by more patient...

[Neal ManBear]

In PCManFM > left side menu > right click the entry for your usb stick > choose unmount / eject. This is the safe way to remove the stick. Pulling the stick out without unmounting it can cause damage to the stick and its contents.     

[Aleph]

Now, PCManfm left menu was on directory tree and I couldn't do right click, I changed the view and now work: Unmounted.

Thanks, thanks a lot Neal!!

The last two questions, sorry:

- Why this happened to my? any bug, or similar?

- My system crashed 3 times because remove the pen drive. Could this damage the system?

You had the wrong command for opening PCManFM as root.     
Somehow you had got libnotify uninstalled.     
The permissions / ownership of your stick was for root, not you.     

You should never simply pull out a usb stick! Always unmount it first! Also, you should switch to your home folder before unmounting the stick.     
Crash your system enough times, and damage becomes an almost certainty.

I never changed nothing on PCManFM... (?)

I have fear now...

Thanks very much for your help Neal.

Don't forget to mark the thread [Solved].

Sorry to bother you again.

This is not working well, now some times I got the pop and some times yes. Without any reason. When not I can unplug the pen, it is unmounted.

Uff.

Hi formatted the pen drive...

When to /media, permissions <userneme>  <userneme> and the pen is working, always a pop asking for open, BUT I can't unmount it apparently, a error message appear when I do:

 No se puede desmontar el volumen. Details: "Can not remove directory" -

but I can unplug and the pen drive dissapear from PCManFM, and don't crash.

I did it too, I founded in ubuntu forums:

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod -Rf 777 /media/~

To much problems.

[Neal ManBear]

  We do not use sudo. Use su - root password - command. Like this:     
[neal@thecoffeeshop ~]$ su
Password:
[root@thecoffeeshop neal]# chmod -Rf 777 /media/~     

When you get the can't unmount error, does it say "device is busy," also? If so, wait a minute or 2 and try again.     

[AS]

chmod -Rf 777 /media/~

I don't see how this command could be of any help .... 

[Neal ManBear]

chmod -Rf 777 /media/~

I don't see how this command could be of any help .... 

     
It probably won't help, but Aleph seemed to want to try it, so.........

[Just17]

is there any automount feature in LXDE ?

PCManFM has automounting as part of its preferences.

Also if the 'Places' is shown on the left in place of the 'Directory tree' the partitions can be mounted and unmounted from there.
