usb external device
usb external device
The Gnome Desktop, external device icon or file system is not registering any external usb flash device.
Does some one know of the name of the program / app in the Gnome desktop that registers the external usb devices.
i could re install the app / program and then see if a any usb device will be registered.
i was in the console formatting a Sandisk high speed usb flash drive.
with sfdisk.
after re-formatting the partition.
Did see that the two directories and a pdf were still in there
so i did rm them.
went back over the drive again made sure i did the procedure correctly,
delete, type, write.
sfdisk shows the device to be in Linux file format.
fdisk shows the device to be in Linux file format.
the device shows at /dev/sdb1
with device unpluged sdb1 is not shown.
after exiting the console and removing the external device with the Gnome desk tools.
After re-inserting the device the usual tools for a external usb device were not visible on the desktop or in the file system.
after going over this issue for some time.
i did insert the usb drive again and looked at the log files.
the far left portions:
512-byte logical blocks 248 GB/231 GiB
Write protect is off
Mode Sense 43 00 00 00
Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesnt support DPO or FUA.
Could the log message: 'doesn't support DPO or FUA' , have killed the program / app that registers external usb devices.
Is Sandisk not compatible with Linux.
man -k DPO ----- DPO from above
ppdpo , one of the results
man ppdpo
ppdpo - ppd message catalog generator (deprecated)
entering Linux DPO on line the search engine try`s to change the DPO to DPI.
one of the results for DPO shows:
linux man pages https://linux.die.net/man/8/sg_read shows sg_read and that would seem to be going into sys programming
Thank you

This way works fine for windows, but rarely it works that way with GNU/Linux.margaretH wrote:i could re install the app / program and then see if a any usb device will be registered.

stop right there.margaretH wrote:The Gnome Desktop, external device icon or file system is not registering any external usb flash device.
so you mean a usb drive, aka usb stick?
what actually happens when
a) you open the file manager
b) you plug in a usb drive
does it appear in the left-hand column as a storage device?
no?
ok.
open a terminal.
enter
Code: Select all
lsusb
no?
ok.
unplug the usb drive.
wait a minute.
enter

dmesg
plug in the device.

kept, records for this device. Before the program or application in the gnome desktop went breasts up.
/media/B3C4-65C4
I did read in a sys programming pdf that the kernal will often make its own
name for a device , would this ? B3C4-65C4 look like a name the kernel would
deligate to a device .
-----------------------------------------------------
Also going back in time . I did add a line to /etc/fstab
located at the bottom .
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=50858290-5395-4782-ba24-cc1d1d4ee9a9 / ext4

/dev/sdb /media/ usbfs user,noauto 0 0
type 'usbfs'
man mount -t --types vfstype
/proc/filesystems does list usbfs
I did read in another disk formatting manual page a reference to the file
/proc/filessystems , and at the same time mount also makes reference to that
file 'proc/filesystems'. and entering linux usbfs in a search engine shows that ,
that file type 'usbfs' is depreciated, and it is listed in this distribution wheezy.
yes i would really like to upgrade, yet its just a matter of chasing problems around like a herd of cats.

Re: usb external device
In your fstab you are mounting the device and not the partition:
Please note that the fstab is only useful for automounting partitions during the system boot. While your system is already running you need a different programm like the GNOME automounter (gvfs-fuse ).
I'm not a GNOME expert but what is the output of:?
I'm not sure if I have written something to all the things you have posted. Please could you format your message probably?
You should also use UUID instead of /dev/XXX in your fstab entry. You can find out the UUID with:margaretH wrote:/dev/sdb /media/ usbfs user,noauto 0 0

Re: usb external device
This is all really insane , when the first portion of the post did state:
The Gnome Desktop, external device icon or file system is not registering any external usb flash device.
Does some one know of the name of the program / app in the Gnome desktop that registers the external usb devices.
Thank you for the assistance , i will go through dpkg , apt , aptitude , which ever apply`s and re install what ever package has usb in its name as well as Nautilus and what ever else may apply.

Re: usb external device
sfdisk and fdisk can tell you the partition type, but not what filesystem is on given partition, if any.
This will tell you if there is a filesystem on it that can be mounted.
