sorry if this question has been asked before..
i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx, and i install mount manager from ubuntu software center, with the aim for mounting an *.NRG file image.once i tried, i dont know how it works.
so i just open it from


system>administration>mount manager
then start mounting the file with choosing ntfs pastition (because i'm thinking the file *.nrg are inside ntfs partition)
then
file>apply
after i applied it there is prompt box with message

when you click on OK button the the program will try to replace content of the configuration file /etc/fstab and try to mount all device with sepecified option. If you start program without root rights, the program will save configuration file in you Home directory and you should replace /etc/fstab content on it by yourself

after i close that prompt, then reboot the machine, i traying to mount the ntfs partition from
places>NameNTFSpartition
the error prompt come out

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[mntent]: line 3 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /dev/sdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab


this is content from my /etc/fstab

UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=a19c9e3c-ea88-4d3b-abd8-7fc6860ca0d6 / ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=B284C48584C44D93 /media/Pipit ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=53d9e528-8214-4134-bce5-900692c30d84 swap swap sw 0 0

can i change the configuration back, before the new fstab configured??

thx everyone for answering

since you have run manager under your own user - it probably saved new fstab under your home folder - have you looked there?

Do you have the fstab in your home folder? Does it includes the new partition entry?

If yes - you will need to copy it over the system fstab using sudo cp (for example)

UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0You can't have spaces like that in the mount point - linux hates spaces. You need to use "\040" in place of the space. THe line in fstab should look like this:

UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my\040data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0Then just run the following command from the terminal to see how it works:

sudo mount -a

i've been searching for fstab from my home folder, but it doesn't exist. I also have visible all hidden file

Open a Terminal and type:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

NRG is a proprietary format. Do you have any reason to believe Linux can mount this format? Have a look at the Wikipedia page for NRG, which mentions a couple of programs to convert an NRG to an ISO.

Open a Terminal and type:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

i've tried to change space between device name with /040


UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my\040data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my\040data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0


UUID=a19c9e3c-ea88-4d3b-abd8-7fc6860ca0d6/ ext4 defaults 0 1

UUID=92D8351AD834FDD3 /media/my\040data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
then i tried to run
sudo mount -a command.
the result:


fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/my data: No such file or directory
fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/my data: No such file or directory
mount: mount point ext4 does not exist
fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/my data: No such file or directory
it still not working. do you have any suggestion ?

i'm just searching the application through ubuntu software center, by inputing search key *.NRG :D
thx for your suggestion gordintotonto

fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/my data: No such file or directoryDid you create the mountpoint?
