knoppix will not mount my flash drive
I slid in my flash drive, the icon appears. I double click it and I get an error: "Could not mount device......" I checked out dmesg and it said it didn't reconize the uid knoppix so I removed it from fstab. KDE immediaitly picked up on the drive and it was working fine. Before I could pat my self on the back I had to be sure it was working for good. I took out the drive and put it back in, waited for the icon and clicked it. I got the orginal error. :shock: Something auto updates fstab when I slid the flash drive in. Can somebody tell me what?
Thanks for reading,
John

Hello,
i've had the same problem and here's how to solve it:
The UDEV system automatically generates the line in /etc/fstab. (This is kinda new) The problem is, on an HD-installation one usually has a username other than knoppix. Just go and check out
/etc/udev/knoppix.rules
and change the knoppix entries to your username and it will work.

Thanks dude, that did the trick. Now I'm faced with a new obstacule. I only have read premission on the flash drive.
Did this happen to you?

You need an entry in /etc/sudoers like this one:
posmanet localhost=/usr/bin/remountrw
where posmanet should be replaced by Your username on Your system. This gives the user the right to remount a device from read-only (ro) to read-writeable (rw).
When You've done this You can right-click on the icon on the desktop that "belongs" to Your flash drive (e.g. sda1) and change the read/write mode.
