unable to browse files on usb flash drives in suse 11.0
I have a fresh install of opensuse 11.0 and found that I can not browse usb flash drives. I see a small balloon in the lower right corner when I insert a usb flash drive, but I do not see it. Does open suse 11.0 automount removable media?
You must have the appropriate directory to mount to. So you may need to 'mkdir /mnt/usb/'. You may need root privelages, as I do. If you want to make things easier in the future read the man pages on mount and such.
I found my mistake. After I insert the usb drive, I have to click on the listing in the pop up balloon and the drive contents are revealed in a file manager. Thanks for the info. I can use your example to manually mount a shared folder on another box over a lan.
