If it isn't one thing...

By the way, my PC thinks that my USB drive is SCSI, so I'm thinking that this may well be the problem!!!

**bigtomrodney** · 03-05-2007

No it's normal for USB drives to be mounted using SCSI emulation. That's why it would be a device similar to /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda. (I'm thinking sda should be scsi-disk-a though I could be wrong, it has always been an assumption I have made.)

Thanks,

Now, under SuSe, the MP3 works fine!!!

**Tim_Wright** · 03-07-2007

Glad to hear you got your problem solved. Enjoy Linux lol!

I am determined to run a purely Linux operated machine, but things do so conspire against me!!! Now that my USB Drive is connected, as well as my printer, I can't log on to the session as root!!!

Maybe I should just give up and go back to Microsoft...

Just patience. You will discover that when you get everything working you will will seek for some difficulties

Is there a possibility that you have forgotten your root password? Have a look here in order to recover lost root password

**k0rrupt10n** · 03-13-2007

No, I still have the password. I can Su to root, but I can't manually input root as an account name.

I tried init to cmd line, logging in as root, then startx but no go. What is the command line for adding group.root to a user, changing default from user to root?

So your really having fun then!!!

Tim

P.s No I don't know the command line sadly

**valemon** · 03-13-2007

when you tried logging as root from command line your xserver was already running?
