[ubuntu] I can not get my USB harddrives to mount

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Here is a problem I've been meaning to deal with for a year, but am only getting around to now. At the end of 2008, I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04. I think at that time, all of my USB harddrives stopped working (the other possibility is they stopped working after I plugged/unplugged them into my Windows machine). I have a 160 gig Lacie, and a 180 gig MyBook, and an 80 meg Lexar thumbdrive. All of them are USB. All of them used to automount, but now none of them do. Right now I've got the LaCie plugged in. If I run the lsusb command, I get this: lkrubner@programmerpc3:~$ s (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] I can not get my USB harddrives to mount

Hi,

I just installed the latest kubuntu and bought a lacie internet space drive. In windows, after installing the software, it shows a back-up, a SharedFiles and a MyFiles directory. How do I mount this in (k)ubuntu?

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.114/SharedFiles /media/LACIE/openshare/ -rw -o umask=0000,username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx

X went down, and no possibility to downgrade to an older Xorg anymore, proposed disabled of course. Also symlinks stopped working and all harddrives but the sysdrive disapperared.

Before that mess occured after the last critical upgrade, there was graphical corruption of the xfce desktop gui, no titlebars etc.

Ubuntu 12.04 has problem with Intel GM45 Chipset, featuring the the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD

I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ70 laptop with an Intel GM45 chipset that features the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD. I was using the second HDMI video port to drive both a projector or a second monitor.

I'm not sure when, but my ubuntu machine stopped responding to front usb ports. Any device plugged into the rear of the machine work fine, but the front don't do anything. My phone won't even draw power when plugged into the front. I am using the ringtail experimental build, but they were working fine last night.

The lsusb command returns

hi, it is a couple of days now that the automount service from nautilus stopped working. While previously when i was plugging in a flash disk, or an external hard disk a notification window was appearing asking what to do, (i.e. open with files, or eject) this functionality stopped working. I was searching around in order to find something weird but i couldn't.

I am trying to get a USB external hard drive (ext4) to automatically mount when it is plugged in. I used to have it working but has since stopped.

External Disk USB 2.0 Failure 2 years 35 weeks ago

Since I installed 11.1 and now 11.3 I haven't been abble to access my LaCie 500gb USB 2.0 external disk. So I asked LaCie support about it and they replied as follows: Windows 2k or SuSe Linux 11.0 can not see device in any USB 2.0 ports

Is this a known problem and will it ever be fixed?
