I have a little problem with a customer's Ubuntu.
USB ports won't work, but if I restart the computer, the light on the flash drive starts blinking and I can mount the flash drive.
As you can see here:
guest-HFuyrW@liv-Aspire-1810TZ:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 298,1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 12G 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 3,9G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda6 8:6 0 158,3G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 123,9G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 1 496M 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 1 496M 0 part
now the drive is flashing, still unmounted, but flashing. atleast it got power now.
but when i take it out and plugg it back in it shows:
guest-HFuyrW@liv-Aspire-1810TZ:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 298,1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 12G 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 3,9G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda6 8:6 0 158,3G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 123,9G 0 part /
get what I mean now? and I don't know how to get it working, that's where the help is needed. I can't turn the computer off and on again every time I plug a drive in
I'm not used to Ubuntu or Linux.
usbmount
, but sometimes automout apps will conflict withmountall
which is installed in ubuntu by default. To check to see if mountall is installed, run:dpkg -l | grep mount
and see if it is listed. If listed, it's installed. They may not conflict but might, i'm not sure.
