Recently I upgraded from my long outdated Kubuntu 6.06 dapper installation to the new LTS, 8.04 hardy. Ever since everything has been working smoothly and going well, but there's one problem: I can't mount either my external USB HDD or my SD card in my USB card reader.
When I try to mount either in Konqueror (Media:/) by right clicking on the device and clicking Mount I get this:
Code:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
I also get this in the console:
Code:
mattmodica@Dothan:/media$ sudo mount sda1
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: can't find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
mattmodica@Dothan:/media$
The first method I tried (doing it in Konqueror) worked in dapper 6.06 just fine.
If I run dmesg | tail in console I get this:
Code:
mattmodica@Dothan:~$ dmesg | tail

I'm just coming back to Linux now because out of luck a lot of stuff at college works in Linux. I'm still a little rusty though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
