Hi
You need to tell /dev/sdb1 where to mount hence the error

eg

mount -t /dev/sdb1 ~/<some_directory>
or
mount -t /dev/sdb1 /tmp/<some_directory>

Hi
I wouldn't mount it to your desktop.....
If you create a folder under media, it should appear on your Desktop.

[CODE]
mkdir /media/usbdisk1
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk1
mkdir /media/usbdisk1/kyles_disk
chown kyle:users /media/usbdisk1/kyles_disk
[CODE]
Now the extra subdirectory will give you the ability to read and write
to it. kyles_disk is an example you can use anything you want

Hi,

kyle@linux-cozi:~> su

Second attempt at the Gnome terminal

Before I read your response to my post, I typed in the code # mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1/ Desktop. Restarted the computer and the usb device was listed as a SCSI Drive in kyle's home > computer. After I turned off/on the device it was listed as a USB Drive.

Hi
So it's showing up ok in the "Computer" list, but you are expecting it
to also appear on the Desktop?

I wish it would show up on the desktop like an Ipod and be accessible.

The steps I take to connect the device

1.I plug in my palm TX, and it instantly gets the charging ability 2.I go to "Computer" list
3.I run the card reader application that allows me to read/write.
4.After a few seconds of reading... the USB Drive appears, but I get unable to mount when I double-click on it.
5. I open up a Gnome terminal, and type

kyle@linux-cozi:~> su
Password:
linux-cozi:/home/kyle # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk1
mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a block device
linux-cozi:/home/kyle #

The 1GB SD card on my palm TX is made by PNY, and I'm almost positive its vfat.

[jman01]

Can't seem to find the edit post here on a Windblows machine, but anyway...

Thanks, this is Solved with your help. The code below allows me to see the card on the desktop.


Code

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk1
