New question #46017 on Ubuntu Eee: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/46017
I'll ask this and answer it myself, since this had me stumped and I think other EEE users may get the same problem: You plug a USB stick in and get a message something along the lines of "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume". In my case it turned out that this is because I had installed Ubuntu on the EEE using that same USB stick, and an entry had been added to fstab during the installation that erroneously identified it as a CD-ROM. The solution was simply to comment out the offending line in fstab, i.e. sudo gedit /etc/fstab and put a '#' in front of a line that looks something like this: /dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 After a restart this solved the problem. I got the solution from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-584250.html Hope this helps someone. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu Eee. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : ubuntu-eee-coders@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
