getting external HD to work
« on: August 23, 2012, 08:08:29 PM »
In order top get my external HD to get recognized by PCLOS, I need to change the "delay_use" time to "5".  It should be in a parameter folder but now I cant find it anymore.  Is it gone?

What kind of configuration file are you looking for? (I don't know, that's why I ask it)

As you are using KDE 4.8.3 you are few steps ahead of me; however...

It would be helpful to know how your External HD is formatted and connected.

Mine are usually ntfs. I'm still using KDE 4.6.5 but I recall needing ntfs-3G and ntfs-config from Synaptic;

and enabling Removable Media under Configure your Desktop (KDE) -Hardware - Removable Devices.

This has worked for as long as I can remember.
