Hi list,
I'm on TDE R14.0.4, Mint 18 installation. If I insert any USB memory stick I get two icons on the desktop and two pop-up windows notifying me "a new medium has been detected". E.g. one icon gives hint "/dev/sdd", the other one "/dev/sdd1". One of both mounts device, the other one states "unable to open device" even if I press it first. The correct message is:
========= snip =============== Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd ========= snip ===============
Anyone any idea where to look for this problem? Even an USB printer opens a notifier window asking what to do with the removable device.
I already moved away the .trinity folder and logged in again without success.
Any help is appreciated Gerhard
PS: I could try to chose 'do nothing' and check the 'always do this for this type of media' checkbox for the non working device but I fear, that afterwards even the correct working notification will not display any longer.
Thats to be expected. /dev/sdd is not normally a mountable partition, but it does contain the partitioning data even if its only one partition encompassing the whole device.
So you can "mount" /dev/sdd1 if the partition table data is in a format known to mount. Obviously you can't mount a reiserfs partition by telling mount "-t ext4". Man mount s/b your friend.
