Mount: Must be superuser to mount.

[TheFly]

Now that I have turned the computer on again, it gives me the same error (must be superuser). Do I have to mount the device every single time I connect it to the pc?

After trying the chown command, terminal says

anders@anders-laptop:~$ sudo chown anders '/media/My Book'
chown: changing ownership of `/media/My Book': Operation not permitted

@TheFly:

I had the same problem using Ubuntu-eee and was able to solve it from help provided in this post. As to your question, you will have to mount at every boot.

To make this easier, just create a script you can click on after booting. This is how I did it:

1. Open text editor and enter the mount command (sudo mount dev/...)

2. Save as "MountSD.sh" or name it whatever you want, including sh helps signify that it is a shell script.

3. Right click the new file and hit Properties. Go to the Permissions tab and make sure the "Allow executing file as program" check box is checked.

4. Now, whenever you want to mount, just click the file (or a link to it) and click "Run in Terminal".

There is probably a way to build this into the ubuntu-netbook menu system for the eee, but I have no idea how.

*EDIT*
I've found out that manually mounting like this causes problems, as you can't un-mount from the main menu, and the icon will stay there in the main menu even if the drive is removed. The only way to get it to go away is to do a reboot. I have not tried manually un-mounting yet.

This problem also happens with my pendrive, it's very simple to solve

In /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

^Just delete that line

Here is what you do:

- open a terminal
- sudo nano /etc/fstab
- find the line where /media/cdrom is mentioned and put a # at the beginning
- ctrl+o forsaving, ctrl + x for closing
- try again your stick

Just figured it out with a friend right before i got to the last post.. Sigh.. would have saved like 45min.

The commenting the cdrom0 line solved my problem.
