I cannot see the files in my USB

English Hardware

Hi,

one month ago I used my USB in my laptop and it worked fine. When I connected
the usb a window was displayed asking for the next action: open, … etc. After
that I could visualize my files with DOLPHIN.

Some days ago I plugged in the same USB in the same machine with the same
linux version but the window didnt appeared. Also I cannot see my USB anymore
with DOLPHIN. Before it appeared as a small icon below home, network, etc…

As far as I understand my SAMSUNG-USB (120G) is being detected but the problem
is that I dont know how to have access to my files.

Could you help me? Thank you in advance.:slight_smile:

I am using the linux version:

openSUSE 11.2 “Emerald” - Kernel \r (\l).
linux-l3lg 2.6.31.14-0.4-default #1 SMP 2010-10-25 08:45:30 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Connect the usb
and write

# mount <usb stick>

Or go to Yast–>hardware–>partitioner
and see if system read your stick

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

I have checked the Yast–>hardware, my USB is recognized. I also did

lsusb -v

which gives,

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 04e8:2f03 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
libusb couldn’t open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/006: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
Couldn’t open device, some information will be missing

Then I did,

mount /dev/bus/usb/001/006
and it says:

could not find /dev/bus/usb/001/006 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Thank you in advance.
