Wife bought an Oregon Scientific MP120 mp3 player. When it plut it in to a USB the floppy disk light goes on for a second but nothing else happens. No icon, no entry in Konq, Devices, etc.

The mp3 player shows that it is ready to accept files.

The KDE Info Center USB list shows that the kernel recognizes it:

Manufacturer: OSI
Serial #: 0002F5CA5F308999

The dmsg is:

What do I have to do to show this as a storage device so I can open it and drag mp3 rips to it? And why the heck does the floppy light up when plugged in and out?

BTW, my Scandisk Mini-Cruzer registers fine, I get an desktop icon. Help!

Al

Under Konqueror, navigate to /mnt and see if there is a new directory there...

Open a terminal and type:
mount

This should should show any new devices from Hotplug... probably under /dev/sda1 but link to something else...

It's probably there just need to find it...

KC

Nope, no new mount point created by Mepis in fstab (see bottom). Here is some more info (I also put this in orig. post.)

Maybe that will help? I know its on sdc1. So what do I do from there?

-Al


al@1[~]$ mount
/dev/sdb1 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0622,gid=100,mode=0622)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0666)
/dev/sdb3 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,umask=0222)

You can add a line to your /etc/fstab like this.
Make sure you create a directroy called sdc1 in /mnt.

This worked well. Thanks.
