Plugging in a usb drive (an iRiver digital music player) pops up a nice konqueror window with the contents of the drive. How can I give myself write permission to the drive? Its mount point is /media/usb-storage-000006BACD0C:0:0:0p1 Thanks. -- Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there.

Try to start Kwikdisk as root and mount your disk , open in file manager and see what happens then.

I don't know about the iRiver but usually if I plug in a USB converter (SD cards, SmartMedias, etc.), I can usually read/ write to it without doing anything else.

As root, did you try something like # touch /media/usb-storage-000006BACD0C\:0\:0\:0p1/test.txt ? What happened? Or, try copying something to it as root and see what happens. Also, another thing to consider is, perhaps, there's a switch on the iRiver itself that prevents the contents from being overwritten. -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.70b2 | Panasonic CF-L1 Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11GP | copperwalls was here ;) "Look!

I am able to write as root but I get an error dialog stating that I don't have permission to write to the disk as a user. I'm a member of disk and wheel (hmm, is there a usb group too? I'll check that too). I'll try to see whether kwikdisk helps when I get home tonight. _________ Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there.
