When i try to mount Cruzer Blade 16GB on Ubuntu Im"Unable to mount 16GB file system"
hen i try to mount Cruzer Blade 16GB on Ubuntu Im told that "Unable to mount 16GB file system Not authorized.@
Any ideas why? And how i can authorize myself? Many thanks. |
Hello,
Can you tell me how exactly you are trying to mount it? Most likely, you just need to be root. Append "sudo" before the mount command, and you should be good. Cheers, Josh |
Okay. So i plug it in and open up Thunar and it's on the list on my right hand side. Right below "Network". Then i double click on it. Is this clear enough?
|
Show me the output of the following command:
Code:
tail /var/log/messages Josh |
And yes, I did try sudo and the same message still poped up.
|
Go to Sytem>>Administration>>Users & Groups
Advanced Settings check the box that says: Access External storage devices automatically. Also there are 2 parts to that drive, cruzer software is windows & mac, although you can use the storage part of the drive in linux. |
Nevermind my last post, as Eddy is an ubuntu user like you :p
|
After i typed in exactly what you told me to, (tried it 3 times) no message at all came up. Just another line of #
|
oh ok
|
If you enable security linux can't access.

I do apologize as it appears that i have made a basic mistake. I have realized that I am using xfce4 desktop environment not ununtu. Jesus how embarrassing....
|
You should still have somekind of users & Groups Settings.
|
Okay, I am starting to think that I am retarded of my laptop f***ed up. I click on the Users and Groups Settings and nothing at all happens. No pop up, no error, no nothing.
|
I just checked my xfce desktop & it has Users & Groups
|
yeah i click on it and nothing. What happens when you do it?
