SOLVED Could not display "media/root/SSD-drive-name" The location is not a folder

Post by MintyMorkyMindy »

Hi,

I get the following error message when clicking on my SDD for the first time, after LM19 has started:
Could not display "media/root/SSD-drive-name"
The location is not a folder
I Right Mouse Click, and select "unmount", and then when I click again on the SDD it works.

I think the SDD is at this location, looking at the var/log/syslog :

Code: Select all

Mounted /dev/sdb1 at /media/root/SSD-drive-name
How can I fix this?

Thank you

:)

PS

This is my etc/fstab

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

Are you running as root?

If you want folks here to help you I would suggest posting the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list

As a user. I need to Sudo.

This is after LM19 has just booted. sdb1 and, sdc1 sdc2, are new SDDs.

Code: Select all

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1  ext4    2 TB     /media/username/2 TB dd00d1e4-b765-4167-909e-42896da631d4
/dev/sdb1  ext4    ext4 - storage (not mounted) e5968d20-556b-4fe0-8e84-85dfcf19d6ae

I am going to mark this as SOLVED as I don't think the problem will happen again with the SDDs.

The error message is different to my other post about bookmarks not working, but the remedy I think will be good for this too. If not, I'll just update.

The solution in this instance I refer to is here:
