Message box says directory does not exist, but it does?


When trying to mount a flash drive in KDE, It mounts but does not display the contents in the window box, and displays a message box saying /mnt/flash does not exist.
It does exist, I created it and have checked it and can mount under command line.
Any idea how to ket KDE to mount correctly?

/dev/hda1 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,users,ro 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0




Thanks.

Check the permission of /mnt/flash

hello :-)
If you are logged-in as a normal user pls check the permission of directory /mnt/flash

Looks like you screwed up the folder permissions, they should be 755 (rwxr-xr-x, owner: root:root).
