Try enabling write access by write-clicking on the drive.
Knoppix has been installed on HD.
I am wondering how I can save files on the FAT32 partition.
Thank you.
Try enabling write access by write-clicking on the drive.
I have the same problem. I have an external usb drive formated for fat32. I can write to it if I'm root but I only have read access as the "knoppix" user. I modified my fstab file with this:
/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 vfat defaults,users,noauto,umask=000 0 0
then I do:
sudo rebuildfstab -r
mkdesktophdicons
And the /mnt/sda2 icon appears on the desktop but it only gives read access to the knoppix user.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
...btw just as a follow up to the last msg, when I right click on the drive icon and go
Properties ->Meta info it tells me that the driev is writable...
Take a look at /etc/group
you want your user to be part of usb: and, probably disk: too.
You can use Kuser to do this or edit /etc/group directly (as root).
yes, I tried. but it seems that i have to login as root. no idea.Originally Posted by wellsj
Try adding this somewhere before the "0 0" in /etc/fstab:
uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix
Thank you for your advice firstly, and I tried, but nothing changed.Originally Posted by turbinater
Are you sure you typed it on the right line? It works flawlessly on my computer.Originally Posted by margaritaville
In order for the icon to be updated, you have to reselect the drive it mounts; you may wan't to check that as well. Also, try mounting it in a console and see if you then get write access.
Here is my fstab file(it doesnt show any warning when starts):Originally Posted by turbinater
