Hi Alan,
thanks for the time. The ntfs 3g was already installed, so that was never the reason for the problem. This recommendation of yours shows me that U24 doesn’t automatically mount at start up the /media/external.
I got it working (I mean YOU) when I used in TERMINAL the “sudo mount -v /dev/sdb1 /media/external” command. Good, You got it, thank you, but…
Always a BUT.
I got it working when I used the “sudo mount -v /dev/sdb1 /media/external”
command. The BUT comes when I switch off the PC and start it again. The drive HAS TO be manually mounted; without that, the error in question “ERROR MOUNTING…” comes up. As soon as I do the SUDO MOUNT… all is ok. So, is there a way to make that MOUNT automatic at startup of the system?
I already used the launchpad.net to report this to UBUNTU, which I call a bug. My argument has always been that with the previous releases of Ubuntu, my system worked just fine, no need to MOUNT anything. So, why now? This is why I call this a BUG.
Just let me know how, if possible, to MOUNT the drive at start up.
Regards and again thank you.
Tony LS
