New to using Ubuntu for desktop - just made the switch Thursday evening in fact. Running an AMD system - Phenom II processor, standard 500gB HD, 8gB RAM.
I cannot access my Seagate external HD through Chromium at all. I can through Firefox, but as I do have a G+ account along with a private group I manage on there, I need to be able to access it with Chromium as well.
For example, through Facebook or G+ on Chromium, if I attempted to upload a photo to a post using the photo/video on FB or attach file on G+, my external hard drive was no where to be seen. It was like it wasn't even mounted. However, if I used Firefox as my browser, with Facebook, I could see my external HD listed right below 'computer' in the 'other places' tab in the folders dialog box. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology, as I'm brand-new to using a Linux OS as I stated.
I have spent the last three days trying to find a solution, and nothing is matching my specific problem. The external shows on everything except Chromium.
Anyone out there know a fix for this?
