Not too sure ho0w confident you feel to email the results to the list. If you want more detailed instructions, ask and I'll help you with it.

Re: output 'mount'
Hi Ian. The reason why I want to locate my tablet on crashed lubuntu is exactly to do just that - email dmesg.log to the list. But to do that I need to transfer .log file to the tablet. :-) Ian Bruntlett ian.bruntl...@gmail.com wrote: -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Re: output 'mount'
OK, Ian, I didn't think of USB stick. Let me plug it in and see if I can locate it.

Re: output 'mount'
Here is the thing, Ian. I just plugged USB stick and can't locate it either. It is weird because my external 2 tb drive appears in /media. So it seems to me that neither my tablet nor USB stick isn't mounted. What is the the way to see what drives are attached to the system, so I can mount them Ian Bruntlett ian.bruntl...@gmail.com wrote: -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Try plugging the USB memory stick into the port you normally plug in your external 2tb drive. Once you've done that, take a look in the /media directory. There should be a directory with the same name as your username. Look in that directory and let me know what you have found. After that, try the lsusb command to see if the USB device is recognised. Also... does your system have a floppy disk drive?

Re: output 'mount'
I guess this recovery option has no automount... So, what you need to do is to mount your USB stick... So, the first thing is to know what device it is, you can do this with the command:* ls -la /dev/sd** You can run this command before and after you plug the USB stick, because your HD or SSD will also be listed... After knowing your device, let say, */dev/sdb*, you need to mount it. To do so, you need to know the file system type... Do you know it? If not, you can see with the command: *cfdisk /dev/sdb* So, the third thing to do, is to create a folder to mount your drive. You can do: *mkdir /media/usbdrive* After this, you can mount just like so: *mount /dev/sdb /media/usbdrive* Ok, this is it. Now the only thing to do, is to copy the log file... But you can also list the content of your USB drive to check if is working ok: *ls /media/usbdrive* 2014-12-14 14:20 GMT-02:00 Ian Bruntlett ian.bruntl...@gmail.com: Hi German, On 14 December 2014 at 15:02, German gentger...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Ian.

With the thumb drive in, does ls /media show anything at all? 1. Could you give more details about the system we are fixing? Things like manufacturer, make and the details of the operating system you are using (e.g. which flavour of Ubuntu, which release - 14.10 etc) 1. The thumb drive might be mounting to an unexpected place. Do a ls /dev command without the memory stick in. Then insert the memory stick in. Do another ls /dev command. You need to look at the entries listed as sda, sda1, sda2 etc ( and possibly sdb, sdc, sdd) . For example when I do ls /dev on my system without a thumb drive inserted, ls /dev lists (amongst other things) sda, sda1, sda2, sda3. After inserting it, those things listed appear - plus an entry for sdb and sdb1. If you can identify the differences between a memory drive then that should be the device name which the thumb drive is connected as. Once you find that then we might be able to use the mount command so your system can access the thumb drive.

Re: output 'mount'
Just a correction, you probably might need to specify the fillesystem type, so, replace the mount command with: *mount -t TYPE_OF_FS /dev/sdb /media/usbdrive* 2014-12-14 23:12 GMT-02:00 Andre Rodovalho andre.rodova...@gmail.com: I guess this recovery option has no automount...
