ONE removable device not mounting in Slackware w/ XFCE
My latest problem:
My Cowon x9 MP3 player, which is set to MSC mode, is not being recognized/mounted in Slackware 14 (using the XFCE DE currently). All of my other devices (Camera; other MP3 player; Thumb drive, etc.) are all recognized and mounted automatically. The Cowon is recognized and mounted in my other OS (Crunchbang), so I know the problem isn't with the player..... Any ideas? |
Simplify it down a bit. First mount it manually and see if that works.
Before it is plugged in run "lsblk". Then plug it in and run "lsblk" again. Look at the difference. This will tell you its device name (e.g. sdb) and what partitions it might have (.e.g. sdb1). Once you know this information you can switch to root and try mounting it by hand, e.g. Code:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp Do this work? If it did, look at the line in "/etc/mtab" for this device and report back what it says, e.g. "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp ext4 rw 0 0". |
It would also help to have your "lsblk" output.

O-K, Ruario, here is my "lsblk" output before connecting the player:
Code:
bash-4.2$ lsblk Code:
bash-4.2$ lsblk |
Is this the same physical machine as you have crunchbag on? EDIT: I guess that is your crunchbag install on sda1
Also, how about you repeat lsblk on Crunchbag and the contents of /etc/mtab when it is mounted. |
Here is the /mtab from #!(Crunchbang):
Code:
@crunchbang:~$ cat /etc/mtab And here's lsblk: Code:
@crunchbang:~$ lsblk |
Hi,
You might have to compare the udev rules that comes as presets in Crunchbang with the Slackware's ones. This might be a useful resource in order to troubleshoot your problem. |

I did mount my other MP3 player in Slackware, and then checked "lsblk" and "/etc/mtab/", and it looked similar to Crunchbang- i.e. /dev/sdb1... I tried manually mounting /dev/sdb1 when the problem Cowon player was attached, and just got a message that "the special device /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist". As long as the player is in MSC mode, the type of filesystem it uses shouldn't matter, right? (I was thinking maybe for some reason it's filesystem isn't supported/can't be recognized by Slackware....) |
I'd like to see the output from running
Code:
lsusb |
Here ya go, Mr. Cranium:
Code:
bash-4.2# lsusb |
Was lsusb ran with the mp3 player plugged in because I do not see it?

Quote:
My fault. I should have specified "Please run the command 'lsusb' as root when the player in question is plugged in." |
Quote:
as root with the usb device plugged in included with lsusb readout Code:
lsusb -t Code:
lsusb -v By the way. Those command readouts would be very helpful in Crunchbang since crunchbang will most definitely show what drivers are being used on the mp3 player. |
Actually, fellers[sic], the problem MP3 player was plugged in and charging when I ran lsusb.
And I actually ran the -v option the first time I did lsusb....but I didn't post the output of that, since it was quite long, and not asked for....but tomorrow I'll post the output of lsusb -v for both Slack and #!. Would it also help if I were to post the output of that command while my other player is connected? (The one which is recognized)- just for comparison? Thanks for all the help so far, everyone! Gotta LOVE this forum! You guys should be getting paid! |

Please unplug the device, wait ~10 seconds or so, plug it back in, run the commands as suggested by rokytnji, and give us the output of them. |
