USB stick isn't accessible Kubuntu 8.04

Hello,

I have an Acer Aspire 5673WLmi, I recently installed Kubuntu 8.04. However it seems that usb devices isn't accessible. I tried using my external usb driver formatted as ntfs and a 4gig flash drive formatted as fat32.

When I plug in both drives the autorun pops up. When I select open in new window. Dolphin opens up and on the bottom I get a error. The file of folder /media/PKBACK does not exist. PKBACK is the name of the USB drive.

I'm quite new to linux and don't know much about troubleshooting these types of problems.

Thank you

Hi and Welcome !

Plug-in USB drive, open Konsole and execute this

Code:

---

sudo fdisk -l
df -h

---

Post output here.

* Its small L in fdisk -l.

Thanks for the reply.

However I seem to have sorted this problem out. The usb stick was named PKBACK#001 and when I changed the name to just "BACKUP". Everything went smooth. Strange maybe kubuntu can't handle the # in the file name.

The #/hash sign denotes a comment in many Unix scripting languages. I would imagine that it was ignoring from then on in the mount line.
