The same problem occurs on two different Ubuntu machines, both running Ubuntu 9.10. Both machines have two identical SATA discs - one has the File System on it and the other has other files which were accessible but now are not. One machine has a USB disc and that can not be mounted either. All disks are visible in Computer File Browser but double clicking gets a pop up window message "Unable to Mount Location Not Authorized." System->Administration->Disk Utility gets me to the Palimpsest Disk Utility that can see both disks in question and lists them as /dev/db and /dev/sdc In Terminal I get: david@tekels1:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb mount: can't find /dev/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab and indeed they are not listed in those files. This is of course business critical as I'm in the process of moving my business servers from Windoze to Ubuntu ! Fortunately they are not live yet. david@tekels1:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 david@tekels1:~$ apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installed: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Feb 7 19:59:59 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-19.56-generic SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.31-19-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/518533/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
