You need to explain what you mean by "show up on screen". What does
dmesg / syslog say?

Make sure you install ntfs-3g -- the basic NTFS driver in the kernel does not
have high-quality write support.

If you want a pop-up notification when you plug the drive in, (and possibly
auto-mounting) make sure you choose a feature-complete desktop environment
like Gnome or KDE SC.

You need to be more specific in your question. "Seen" is such a
terrible word in a technical sense. For me that would mean that the
kernel's usb module detected it and logged it to /var/log/syslog.
Please look at the activity in /var/log/syslog and report what is
happening when you insert or remove the usb device.

But I imagine that you are using a GNOME desktop environment (or a KDE
desktop environment) and no icon is appearing on your desktop after
plugging it in? Is that what is happening for you? Unfortunately
with those it all depends upon what packages you have installed.
(Personally I despise those types of "happy" extras and disable them
on my machine so I won't be much help for you but at least it will
identify the problem.) It doesn't mean that your machine isn't
"seeing" the usb device.

Do you have gnome-mount installed?

$ dpkg -l gnome-mount

Summary: Both *before* and *after* inserting the usb device:

$ cat /proc/partitions
$ less /var/log/syslog

Observing any differences will be clues to what is happening.

Correct.

I don't know anything about the desktop icons and such. You should try
to mount it from the CLI, with something like (as root)
'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' and see what happens. If it doesn't work,
report the error messages and syslog / dmesg.

I accidentally sent my reply to Celejar direct instead of to the list
so I am reposting it to the group. If my 'dmseg' is too long -- sorry

Hi Celejar and Boyd

I used synaptic to search for ntsf and installed it as it was unmarked.
I am using gnome as a desktop.


Celejar -- here is my dmesg -- first time I have used this -- I am
making the assumption that the latest info is at the bottom of the list
-- it looks like it is attached but I see no icon like I do when I plug
in a memory stick. It does not show up when I click on 'computer' under

You need to be more specific in your question. "Seen" is such a
terrible word in a technical sense. For me that would mean that the
kernel's usb module detected it and logged it to /var/log/syslog.
Please look at the activity in /var/log/syslog and report what is
happening when you insert or remove the usb device.

You're right. Seen is a terrible 'technical' word. I should have said
'no drive icon appears as it does when I install a 32g memory stick'.



But I imagine that you are using a GNOME desktop environment (or a KDE
desktop environment) and no icon is appearing on your desktop after
plugging it in? Is that what is happening for you? Unfortunately
with those it all depends upon what packages you have installed.
(Personally I despise those types of "happy" extras and disable them
on my machine so I won't be much help for you but at least it will
identify the problem.) It doesn't mean that your machine isn't
"seeing" the usb device.

Do you have gnome-mount installed?

$ dpkg -l gnome-mount


This is what shows up when I 'dpkg -l gnome-mount'. It looks like it is
installed. Whether that is the latest version or not -- haven't check
that out yet.

Yes, it's there. sda is the drive, and sda1 is a partition on it. At
this point, dmesg and syslog won't be as much use, since the kernel
knows about the drive, and the problem is with the higher level tools.
I don't use those tools, so I won't really be able to help; perhaps
someone else will.

It's really just a matter of 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' (as root). See if
it works, and if not, report the errors (and syslog may help here).

The end. In linux, log messages are generally appended to the ends of
files. What one generally does here is watch syslog, like so (from a
console):

'tail -F /var/log/syslog'

This will print the new lines to the screen as they are added to the
file. So you start the 'tail' command, then do the 'mount' or
whatever, and note what gets added.

Hi Celejar


I tried 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt' as /sda1 returned drive does not exist.
Using 'tail -F /var/log/syslog' when I try the mount command using
"/sdb1" returns -----

It shows a NTSF formatted omega drive. It states read only. This much I
understand. I am taking a wild guess and thinking that it will show up a
an external drive under 'wine' -- I could be totally wrong in that
assumption.

All the rest is information lost on me!!!

I thank you for your assistance. My expertise is in hardware repair not
software/command line issues so please bear with me.

The drive can be assigned different letters by the kernel, depending on
what else has already been seen by it when you plug it in. That's why
in general, once you have things working, the recommended method is to
mount by label or uuid.

It may or it may not, but we're not interested in that. Since the
mount seems to have worked, you now need to look at /mnt using your
favorite file manager - anything from 'ls' to 'mc' to Nautilus, Thunar,
etc.

> All the rest is information lost on me!!!

Don't know much about NTFS, but IIRC, the linux support (in particular
the vanilla in-kernel support) in incomplete, and insufficient for
certain repair operations, which is why you're being told to mount in
Windows, so that OS can do some housekeeping. Don't know how serious
such a message is likely to be, but if you're only mounting read-only,
you probably don't have much to lose. Famous last words - don't hold
me to them!

Good luck, and report back on your findings (even a simple 'ls /mnt'
will be useful for a start).

Hi Celelar

Just going through
'applications->Debian->applications->system->administration' and started
up 'gnome partition editor'. It showed me that its file system is ntsf;
its mountpoint is /mnt; its label is IOMEGA HDD; total size is 1.82TB
and I have used 61.37 GB.
It is mounted -- but not visible on the desktop. I first used it to
backup my win7 drive -- I wonder if I were to repartition it would it
then be visible to the desktop? The data that is on the drive is just a
backup of my win7 and of no real concern at this time.
