Remove Corrupt Entry In Device List

igo470 · 06-02-2019, 08:19 PM

In the Devices list there's a corrupt entry which I'd like to remove.The device is labelled GALPon MiniNo.Please see attachments for clarification. The installed OS is MX Linux. GALPon MiniNO is an OS. I have never installed it and there wasn't anything in the CD/DVD drive when I installed MX. The error report shows a phone which was charging via a USB port when I installed MX. As a newbie I have no idea how to remedy this issue. I trust that the info that I have supplied will be enough to enable someone more advanced to assist me.
Thank you.

I haven't looked at MX, but let's see this - just paste the ouput in a message in [code]..[/code] tags.

Code:

cat /etc/fstab

It seems the device was removed without ejecting properly. Run fsck on the disk to auto repair. https://www.tecmint.com/fsck-repair-...rors-in-linux/

What's the output of...

Code:

cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

Do the same but not as root user

Same result I think...

Code:

$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks
cat: /home/clive/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks: No such file or directory

Run fsck on your / and /home partitions. you'll get them by 'sudo blkid' command.

Code:

sudo fsck -y /dev/sdxX

Not sure if I've understood the directions. Here's the result of what I think that you mean. As you can see I've made a couple of attempts.

Code:

You need to unmount partitions before fsck to work. Reboot the machine and boot to rescue mode as mentioned in the link I gave. Also, post the output of 'df -hT' command.

OK, There is no Recovery Mode in the Grub menu in MX as suggested in the link you pointed me to.

I was able to get the following:

Code:

 df -hT
Filesystem     Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev           devtmpfs  7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs          tmpfs     1.6G  1.4M  1.6G   1% /run
/dev/sdc5      ext4      273G  4.9G  254G   2% /
tmpfs          tmpfs     5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs          tmpfs     7.2G   76M  7.2G   2% /run/shm
/dev/sda2      ext4      480G  166M  456G   1% /home
cgroup         tmpfs      12K     0   12K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs          tmpfs     1.6G   12K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000

and this:

Code:

fsck from util-linux 2.29.2
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdc1
Could this be a zero-length partition?

I have also done a clean install using a new usb stick and a different method of creating live usb. The described issue persists. Maybe I just have to live with it?
