USB Stick [solved]

Hi,
I've got a problem with my Mp3 Stick, i tried to mount it with
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usb -o umask=022
it worked, but if i now try to copy musik on it, it doesnt work, i did it with MidnightCommander and it said "That chown couldn't be performed". Somewhere in dmesg i read too, that the Stick was only mounted ReadOnly, someone knows what i did wrong? Maybe i forgot to add some arguments to mount?
Trapdoor

With adding
/dev/sda /mnt/usb vfat user,noauto,uid=trapdoor,gid=users,sync
writing on the stick works, but he files are not displayed on the stick if i try to play them. I think it has something to do with the dmesg output
usb-storage: device found at 4

there it says " /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table" may it be that it has something to to with that?

I can't write to usb stick [solved]

I've installed arch on my notebook yesterday. It took a few hours, but I got almost everything working correctly.
My issue is that when I plug in a usb stick, it gets automatically mounted, but I can't write to it.
I had the same issue with my ntfs data partition, but I solved it by adding an entry to /etc/fstab.
Unfortunately that won't be an efficient solution for usb sticks, since their partition type might vary.

I don't think that the storage group covers this. All USB storage devices that I have seem to come up as being part of the disk group. You should really not make your user part of the disk group.
If you read the post, and saw the info provided by the OP, you would see that he/she is trying to write to an iso, which is read-only.

Mount USB Stick (Solved), SSHD (Solved), Root Logon (Still open)

Sorry this is about 3 problems:
1. Already for longer time I can not login as root on one computer on the console. This machine has no X as it is a server. Access via SSH and console logon as other user works. One logged on I can use SU or sudo for root actions. There was a similar thread over here, which didn't help.

3. Mount of USB media does not work as user although the user is in the storage group. In fact it worked before.
Mount as root by hand works, but in case of VFAT media without acl there is no way to access the media by user other than root.
Umount of course also need root rights in this case.

[SOLVED] Mounted USB stick immediately unmounts itself - why?

Hi all,
I thought I was unable to mount a USB stick, however it does actually mount but then it gets immediately unmounted by something:
# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
# ls /mnt
<empty folder>
# umount /mnt
umount: /mnt: not mounted
# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt && ls /mnt
<contents of USB stick>
# ls /mnt
<empty folder>
Somehow the USB stick is getting automatically *unmounted* almost immediately after I mount it!
I don't have any automounts enabled, so I'm not sure why this would happen. If I make a different folder (e.g. /root/test) and mount it there then it sticks, it is only the /mnt folder that gets automatically unmounted.
Any idea what's going on? I've never seen this happen before, and last time I tried this (a week or two ago) it worked fine.

brebs wrote:Use "mount -v" (i.e. "verbose") to get some feedback - it's most likely not being mounted.
Like I said in my first post, if you run "ls" immediately after the mount then you can see the contents of the USB stick, so it's definitely getting mounted, but waiting only a few hundred milliseconds after the mount reveals it has been unmounted again. What is causing the unmount is unknown.
brebs wrote:
Immediately after running that mount command, run:
echo $?
To see the return code. It should be 0.
Yes it is zero, because the mount command succeeds. "ls" wouldn't be able to list the files on the USB stick if the mount failed. It is something else that is unmounting the folder mere milliseconds after it is successfully mounted, but I don't know where else to look to find out what it could be.
brebs wrote:Also, mounting to /mnt is very weird - you should be mounting a directory *inside* /mnt.
I am mounting inside /mnt, I just used /mnt as an example to keep things simple.
Vain wrote:
I made the same “mistake”. Try running “systemctl status mnt.mount” and see which device the output refers to. For me, it still listed the old device name. Hence, when you mount it, systemd tries to find the (old) device—which it can’t—and thus unmounts your device immediately.
I was too lazy/annoyed to find out how to solve this properly. I rebooted my system.
Interesting idea! Unfortunately I have nothing listed for this particular mount point. The only *.mount services on my system are the ones that are mounted at boot (e.g. srv.mount for /srv). I have the "noauto" option against this mount point in fstab (as USB sticks aren't normally attached to my system when I boot) so sensibly enough I don't seem to have a mount service running for this particular mount point.

Usb stick not working (solved)

I copied some files to my usb stick and made sure it was working. Then I copied a open office file from my wifes computer running vista. After placing the usb stick back into my computer I got the following message
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
I went to xsessions and got the following message.

Seeing as the stick worked before I copied a file from vista, did the vista change something in the usb so it will not work in anything but windows? Is there anything I can do?
changed /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,users 0 0
to /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,users 0 0
and now everything works fine

[SOLVED] Installation on UEFI from usb stick

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out this uefi thing and install arch on my laptop.
I swear, I've been trying so many times now that I have a headache. My girlfriend too because of all my ranting.
I downloaded the latest arch iso and "burned" it to a usb stick (my laptop lack a cdrom).
I booted with the first option and went through the whole installation progress to the grub installing part MANY times before realizing I was doing it all wrong and I had to start from a UEFI shell.
Now I started from the UEFI shell and I just have no idea what I'm doing, the beginner guide doesn't seem to explain this.
I should probably wait until my headache pass and I'm fresh and ready to start over but I'm one stubborn guyif there is one and I had enough of failing, I want it to work.
What do I do from the UEFI shell?
Do I have to reinstall everything from scratch, partitioning and all or I can just get back to the part where I have to install grub? What do I do?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm asking stupid questions or something but, honestly, I failed so many times that my frustration is seriously high.

Hi,
this is basically what I followed and it worked for me:
make an archlinux uefi usb stick (it's a bit different than a normal one). Use a live ubuntu cd or something, so you don't have to use windows:
#format your usb key on /dev/sdXY to fat32 (replace XY with the right device, in the following code too)
sudo su
wget http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux/iso/2013.08.01/archlinux-2013.08.01-dual.iso
mkdir -p /mnt/{usb,iso}
mount -o loop archlinux-2013.08.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf | xargs mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdXY -n
mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/usb
cp -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb
sync
umount /mnt/{usb,iso}
full instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO
now you have the instalation usb ready.
When I did this, i could still go to choose my boot device and i had a normal usb key boot option and an uefi shell usb key option, see if you have something like that to be sure you have the uefi boot. you should see an uefi shell and it should boot automatically as a normal archlinux live usb. if it doesn not (happend to me before) run ./start.sh or something like that (it should say in the uefi shell what to run). If that doesn not work, then the uefi usb key didn't work.
okay if you've successfully booted the uefi usb you have to format your drive so it has the uefi boot partition mounted inside the grup folder, so there has to be a ef00 partition on the begining
This is my actuall install script, it will wipe your drive, make 5 partitions (uefi boot, boot, swap, root, home) and then mount them, install arch and then chroot into that
modprobe efivars
#configure this as you wish
SWAPSIZE=4G
ROOTSIZE=50G
DRIVE=sda
#these two lines are horrible, you could manually use gdist and format the drive as you wish, as this will just wipe it clean and make the partion table that I have.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$DRIVE bs=1M count=1k
echo "2\no\ny\nn\n\n\n+100M\nef00\nn\n\n\n+100M\n\nn\n\n\n+${SWAPSIZE}\n8200\nn\n\n\n+${ROOTSIZE}\n\nn\n\n\n\n\np\nw\ny\n" | gdisk /dev/$DRIVE
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/${DRIVE}1
mkfs.ext2 -L boot /dev/${DRIVE}2
mkswap -L swap /dev/${DRIVE}3
mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/${DRIVE}4
mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/${DRIVE}5
swapon /dev/${DRIVE}3
mount /dev/${DRIVE}4 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/${DRIVE}5 /mnt/home
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/${DRIVE}2 /mnt/boot
#this is the magic uefi part for grub
mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/${DRIVE}1 /mnt/boot/efi
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel zsh
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
After doing that, you have can install the system as you wish and for the grub I do this:
I had problems a few times if i copy pasted all these lines at once, so now i copy paste them one at a time, (I know it should not make a difference but still, sometimes it didn't work)
# i do this in chmod too, though I'm not sure if it's really necessary
modprobe efivars
mkinitcpio -p linux
echo "installing efi grup thingy"
pacman -S --noconfirm efibootmgr grub-efi-x86_64
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and this is all i have in my install script file and uefi works fine. I hope you'll get it running soon

[SOLVED] Install Arch Linux on USB Stick!

So, here is the deal. I want to install Arch Linux on a USB Stick so I can plug it at any computer and have my system... with me
I've had a little bit experience with Arch so I know a few things about it... used it for a few months before on a real system.
My USB stick is a HighSpeed 17-20 MBPS and it's 16 GB capacity.
So how do I do it?
Last edited by 1lj4z1 (2012-04-05 07:25:53)

I'm using occasionally Arch installed on HDD-USB, I've just added usb hook to mkinitcpio.conf and removed autodetect (more modules=more hardware supported). So far it worked on 3 different computers (all of them have one main HDD so no grub issues, but it's no biggie if it doesn't boot right away, you can always edit grub on-the-fly by pressing "e")
About USB stick: installing on USB stick is not the same as running it in LIVE mode! Consider yourself warned.
If you just install it you really should read about SSD optimizations because USB flash cells also have limited read/write cycles (actually is less robust and sophisticated than SSD). Something to look at: noatime mount option, disable swap if not necessary, profile-sync-daemon and so on...
1lj4z1 wrote:Well I don't need to chroot, i am running it live. I'll see about mkinitcpio.conf but I can't understand what you mean rebuilding initramfs? What is that exactcly?
It means if you fiddle with mkinitcpio you should run:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
afterwards or bad things will happen

[SOLVED]arch on usb stick, boot error

Hi,
i would like to create a i686 rescue usb arch install.
after googling a lot ive tried to install arch on my usb stick and get it booting, what ive done:
My x2 is running arch64, so i started with:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_Install_bundled_32bit_system
Changed HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf to(for usb support at boot):
HOOKS="base udev autodetect usb ide scsi sata filesystems"
And regenerated the mkinit file:
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
Thx to MrElendig, #archlinux
Grub install: according to the "flash linux" install guide i used:
grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/usbkey /dev/sda1
But now the system stops with:
kinit: Cannot open root device sda1 (8,1)
kinit: init not found
any ideas?
greets
metalfan
Last edited by metalfan (2008-03-25 15:12:16)

using the HOOK autodetect wasnt a great idea since i used another system for testing the stick, removed it and added usb instead.
Thats it, some minor modifications are needed. Will add the steps to the wiki somewhere below "usb booting".

Problem mounting usb stick with ISO installed on it [SOLVED]

I'm experiencing a weird problem regarding mounting usb sticks. Archlinux stopped auto-mounting usb sticks on my machine, but only those that contains an operating system. Empty or data usb sticks mount without problem.
A few weeks or month ago, I don't remember exactly, still everything was all right, but due to updates(?) usb sticks won't auto mount any more.
I have two arch partitions none of them mount usb sticks anymore with operating systems on them.
Today, I wanted to test a new operating system and write it on my usb stick, and of course I couldn't because arch didn't mount it. Luckily, on my other partitions a few old distos are still installed – I don't use them anymore for years- I booted them up and they mounted the usb stick without problem; it seems only the up-to-date system have problem handling the usb sticks. I have two Arch system installed on two different partitions, Gnome 3 and Enlightenment, both system are up to date.

What is sdc1p? Is that another USB stick? It seems to have an equally weird partition map.
By the way, you can't create an Arch USB bootable in EFI mode with dd. Obviously don't know about sabayon.
EDIT: Did you dd to the disk or to a partition? What command exactly did you use? Because it almost looks as if you did something like dd once and create one thing and then dd over the top of one of the partition so you've got a partition which itself has a partition map. Not sure that's possible but it sure looks weird.
I would wipe the key and start over.
I don't know what is that. It is a partition on the same usb stick, it was the “dd” that made that partition automatically, I guess. When I burn images into usb, I always use this command:
# dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
I used this when burned Sabayon and it works perfectly.
The problem is that Arch can't auto-mount its own installation usb either. I put the arch install usb in and I get the following output:

Problem with T60 and USB Sticks

All -
I can't understand it but I have a huge problem with USB devices and my T60.
EVERY USB device works 100% fine - despite of USB memory/HDD/other memory devices.
Neither USB HDD or USB Sticks nor a SD drive via USB - no media is accecpted.
I always get back: "Media not formatted".
If I do format everthing works - but only with this notebook.
So I am not able to share data with other computer - or not able to get my pics from my cam...
Please can you help?
Thank you very much in advance,
iBigfoot

I hate to say it, but I agree with carbon_unit, this sounds like a Windows problem.
As a long shot you could try uninstalling all USB hubs in Device Manager, re-install the Chipset Drivers and restart the sytem to allow the USB hubs automatically installed again. I doubt this will help, but it's all I could think of.

To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
Regards

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

Satellite C50-A-1FT - How to boot from the USB stick

hi,
this is last stop really as have run out of ideas,have asked every techie that know including taking it to an independant computer store.
I am using a toshiba satelite C55 a-1d5, with windows eight preinstalled.
I am trying to get Ubuntu booting off a Toshiba G3 USB stick [sixty four gb capacity],theres nothing wrong with the stick or the multiple distros on it.
so have followed all the advice Ive found and obviously as woud usualy do-on the BIOS/UEFI screen have made sure the boot sequence has USB first,but when using the CSM boot order it wont boot the USB stick it just gets over runned by Windows 8.
I tried to deactive from the BIOS the "secure Boot" or something like that, but it seems to be already off... and its weird because my laptop is new. just bought it 2 days ago.
please can any kind soul take pity and offer reasons why this may be happening or even better,know how to get linux on it? thanks in advance

Seems that you could solve this issue disabling the secure boot in BIOS as well in registry:
HKeyLocalMachine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ SecureBoot\State
(UEFISecureBootEnabled needs to be set to 0 to disable SecureBoot within the system)
But to be honest this should not affect the USB booting in case the Windows 8 (or Win 8.1) has been completely powered OFF.

Problems installing Windows 7 from a USB stick

I have got a brand new W510 that i am doing a clean install of Windows 7.
However i have faced major problems with installing from a USB stick attached to the W510.
Please notice that there isn't any problem installing Windows 7 to my other PC from this USB stick, this problem is only present with W510.
I have the BIOS from Lenovo v 1.35, Bios settting are reset to default to isolate any faulty settings.
In the readme file the say they have fixed some USB detection problems by Windows. bug still present??
Version 1.35 (BIOS ID: 6LET74WW) [for BIOS ID 6Lxxxxxx-based computer]
[Problem fixes]
- Fix an issue that a USB device is not recognized by Windows connecting
to USB 3.0 port.
Below is picture of the problem.
First i choose to boot from my USB Stick Sandisk Cruzer which Windows 7 files are placed, i know these files and the USB stick works with my other computer.
Picture 1
Next step when it boots
Picture 2
I press Install Now
Picture 3
This warning message comes up, can't find driver device
Picture 4
I click browse and try to find my USB stick, none of my USB sticks are listed, is this a Lenovo BIOS bug or Windows 7 Installation detection problem??
Picture 5

I think you need to fix your links, you seem to have maybe copied the post from another board / forum, the link style you have inserted doesn't work here.
