Xubuntu 9.10 fresh install usb automount failure FAT: IO charset ISO-8859-1 not found
Hello everyone thanks for dropping by!
EDIT: I thought this info might help Code:
allen@heavy:/etc$ uname -a I just recently installed Xubuntu 9.10 on my old acer Aspire 3000. Previously i was running Debian 5.something it was great and all but I wanted to try out the "New Hotness" that is Xubuntu. The install went flawless and as far as Linux distro's go this is by far the most impressive. However, I have this problem with my USB storage devices not mounting. When I plug them in they show up and everything looks like its about to work when I get this: http://savenet.org/temp/error.png A quick jaunt over to dmesg: Code:
#I dropped into ubuntu's irc and was suggested to try this: Code:
#I've been all over google, in multiple irc rooms asking questions, and I cant seem to get anywhere. I can mount the devices manually with mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint but... you know I'm lazy and id rather they mount themselves when I plug them in. So if anyone can shed some lite on my problem I'd be inclined to fax you over a picture of your favorite beer! ~ allen |
(1)If parted comand available by default then
#parted <device> (parted)check partition (2)You can check the drive with gparted {"#apt-get install gparted" (without double quotes obviously)will get you the needed software.} Maybe the partition type is wrongly mentioned in USB. If USB is empty or contains useless data then create a new disklabel & then partitions. (3)There are also command you can try such as vfat.fsck , badblocks (4)Don't you think Code:
[ 2956.711129] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 3970048 512-byte logical blocks: (2.03 GB/1.89 GiB) |

I believe the problem lies somewhere in the process of automounting devices. I tried to disable Volume Management in Thunar but I still get the popup image stated in the previous post. Here is the information again from dmesg, when I plug in my blackberry: Code:
[81509.504042] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6Which results in nothing, so I use this command to mount it manually: Code:
allen@heavy:~$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /home/allen/Desktop/Code:
allen@heavy:~$ mountI gave parted a shot and this is what it told me: Code:
allen@heavy:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdbAt this point it isn't that big of a deal since I can mount manually, I just wanted this install to be the one that everything just works :D |
evo2 gave suggestion which can help a little
Because you don't have to be root to mount & type less Add to /etc/fstab Code:
/dev/sdb1 /pd vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0Here mountpoint is folder /pd.You can choose yours & edit line correspondingly. To mount $mount /pd is enough. A small explanation zeroes at end means no backup & check of USB. noauto means system does not attempt to mount.Defaults means root can mount while user means anybody can. i think 2.03GB = 2.03 x 10^9 bytes approximately equal to 1.89 GiB = 1.89 x 1024 X 1024 x 1024 bytes) which I had overlooked.So nothing wrong . You can also post vfat.fsck , badblocks , dosfsck command outputs so that someone more knowledgeable can suggest. This is all I know. Thank You. |
[SOLVED] usb automount failure FAT: IO charset ISO-8859-1 not foun
Just wanted to update this thread I finally figured out what my problem was.
During the initial installation via expert mode I was setting the locale to just "en_US"... I tried a clean install not using expert mode and everything worked fine. SO, I tried another expert mode install again, this time choosing the en_us-UTF-8 option when setting up the locales. Now everything works flawless! :D Hope that helps! |
