 |
|
Hello, ok i can mount my compact flash (in pcmcia adapter) as root fine, once done an icon appears on gnome desktop which i can open. The problem is that the folder, created by digital camara, on compact disk is not recognised by nautilus, however if access via console as root i get no problems, as user i get permission denied.
Questions:
How can i get nautilus to recognise folder on CF?
How can i mount so user can access folder/files on CF
cheers

Is there a checkbox for show hidden files? Perhaps the folder is a hidden directory.

My guess is that if you are looking at it through nautilus (as a normal user), it doesn't show up because you don't have access to read it.
On my USB keychain, I specifically set the user/group permissions to my normal user, but you could just as easily set it to be wrold writablable (since I would not consider removable devices all that secure anyway). I would do the same in your case. Just make sure you have an entry in fstab so your normal user can mount the drive without needing root priviledges.

Hello, thank for replies.
think you mis-understand, it is not that i can't see it, i can; it is not hidden just not recognised as a dir by nautilus? though can see it via console!
The mount as user issue, when i insert compactflash or usb device the system automatically creates a dir in /media
so my pcmcia compactflash get:
| Code: |
/dev/hde1 /media/idedisk
|
I then have to manually mount /media/idedisk with
| Code: |
mount /dev/hde1 /media/idedisk
|
An entry has also been added automatically , i did not add it, to /etc/fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hde1 /media/idedisk auto noatime,sync,exec,user,noauto
|
which seems to give user privaliges, but even via console i can only see dir on compactflash, but do not have permission to view.
| Code: |
$ ls /media/idedisk/dcim
ls: /media/idedisk/dcim: Permission denied
|

If you are running nautilus as a user, then that means you don't have access to that folder right? (you said you got permission denied at the terminal as a user). If that is the case, then I woudln't be surprised if the folder did not appear. You could login to nautlius as root and then see and if it does appear, you know it is a permissions issue and should follow the steps I gave above. If you have already tried that? Then, well, I'm out of options 
But either way, you should not be running as root to copy photos You should only use root when you have to, or avoid making horrible and irreperable mistakes. And I know, I've done a few mistakes as root

Hello, yep know i should not be as root but had to drop in with su as i needed photos.
Ok tried
| Code: |
chown -R root:users /media/idedisk
chown: changing ownership of `/media/idedisk/': Operation not permitted
|
If i umount it first it will do it ok but once mounted it reverts back to root:root
fstab entry is:
| Code: |
/dev/hde1 /media/idedisk auto noatime,sync,exec,user,noauto
|
cheers

Do you try?
| Code: | umount /media/idedisk
chmod 777 /media/idedisk |
also
| Code: | | /dev/hde1 /media/idedisk auto noatime,sync,exec,user,noauto,rw |
Look the rw.
Do you put the user into "disk" group? |

thanks for reply, ok tried suggestions and still no go, though chmod does seem to have taken:
| Code: |
ls -l /media
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 23 08:15 cdrecorder
drwxr--r-- 3 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 idedisk
