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.
