I am on Xubuntu 16.04 running on my Chromebook through Crouton. My end goal here is to mount my SD Card so that I may use that as the install location on Steam games as the Hard Drive on my Chromebook is very small. The issue here is that Chromebooks by automatically add a noexec flag on to things such as SD Cards when you insert them as a security measure. I need to add an exec flag to my SD Card from the terminal. Before I can do that though I need to figure out the device name of my SD Card. My old SD Card wore out, on the old one I would mount it with:
sudo mount -t vfat -o defaults,nosuid,nodev /dev/mmcblk1p1 /home/undyinglight/SDcard
The name of the old device was mmcblk1p1, however I believe the name of my new SD Card is different than the old one. Using the GUI in Xubuntu 16.04 how do I look at the name of my new SD Card? I knew how to do this in Ubuntu 14.04 in Unity to find the name of my old SD Card but XFCE is very different and I am struggling to find my way around this GUI. Thank you so much.
lsblk -f
in a terminal to find the correct device name.lsblk
in a terminal. I'm not sure if there is a partition manager installed in Xubuntu by default, but you can use e.g.gparted
(default in Ubuntu) orpartitionmanager
(default in Kubuntu). Or you can usegnome-disk-utility
.
