Memory stick wont open on linux

[jooke180]

Hi,

I have Pen Drive and all a time when I try open it by Linux, I get this message:

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/jooke180/Jooke: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/jooke180/Jooke"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

How I could reopen it ?!

But, please as clear instruction as possible..

This part of the error message got my attention: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'".

Never had this issue but according to this (askubuntu and ubuntuforums are the best as long as you make sure the amswers work for YOUR Mint release):

https://askubuntu.com/questions/370398/ ... at-working

And from the 1st answer what I'd do is open the terminal and copy/paste these lines separately and use your password (which in Linux isn't shown) to execute them:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Because you should always update efore installing anything.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse

According to the link above that should give you read/write support but not formatting for some reason but that should be enough.
