That was just the ticket. Thanks. Though I'm currently having problems getting KDE to run, I was able to mount it from the command line and copy the files. Now my mp3 player is happy as a clam at high tide. On another note, if I plug my card reader in and put a flash card in it, I assume that i just start trying to mount /dev/sda# until I find the one that mounts? Are there any thoughts on what might be wrong with SuSE Plugger? Thanks again for the help. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO On Thu, 23 December 2004 10:12 am, Preston Hagar wrote:
To mount it, look for /dev/sda1 and so on. The usb devices I use reguarly are a external usb hard drive and a usb thumbdrive. They show up as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 . The order depends on the order in which I plug them in and they are detected. Note that /dev/sda is the actual device and /dev/sda1 is the first (and only in my case) partition on the device. I am not exactly sure how it is with mp3 players, but I would think it is the same since they are usually just detected as "hard drives".
Hope this helps,
Preston

I've got a Rio Cali MP3 player that I hooked up to my SuSE 9.1 box running KDE. The first time I connected it, it noted that I had and displayed a Konqueror window showing its contents. Later, I attempted to copy some files to it and the X server hung. After a CTRL-ALT-Backspace and I logged in again, I plugged the Cali in again and nothing happens.
What might I have hosed up that would keep SuSE Plugger from seeing the device when it's plugged in? How can I manually mount the device? I know how to use the mount command, but how do I determine which block device in /dev it is? I guess I'm looking for a more general answer that I can apply to any future event like this one.
