Why I can't mount with Rox but works from a terminal?

Hi,
I'm using Xfce4.2 (RC-3) and I use rox as file manager. The thing is if I try to mount a cd by clicking on the icon while using rox, nothing is happening. But if I open-up a terminal and type "mount /mnt/cd" it works!  :shock:
As root, I can mount with rox without problem. I dont think its a permission problem, because like I said, from a terminal I can mount without problem (as normal user)...
Any idea?
Thanks

I believe Rox reads from the file /etc/fstab in order to mount drives. Check that this file has Owner, Group and World read permissions set. i.e. start Rox as root, navigate to /etc, right click on fstab then select 'Properties'. Under 'Permission - Read' make sure the Owner, Group and World boxes are ticked.
You might find that the Xfce file manager (xffm) has the same problem mounting drives until you change the fstab permissions. Hope this helps.

Bingo! You're right Gnipper!
Thank you very much

  • Can't mount dmg. But works under new user

    All of a sudden I can not open any dmg-Files anymore.
    I just get a timeout error message:
    I tried the following already without success:
    - restart
    - repair permissions
    - safe mode
    - open via terminal command
    A work around - but not a real solution - is no create a new user.
    I would be glad for any suggestions to solve the issue.

    ok, this is the result:
    btw I really appreciate your help in any case :

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    why i can't remove my credit card number from my account ?
    i always remove my credit card number after purchase apps , but i try at this morning it did't allow be to remove it anymore , can someone tell me why ?

    It happens on Mac App Store & iPhone App store as well.
    So clearly the problem is on my Apple ID..
    I've changed my credit card details on my Apple ID but it doesn't reflect onto my phone when I login after restarting the phone. Even if i sign out.
    When it reaches the part where I would need to verify my phone after entering my password. It just keeps requesting for my password and never shows me anything.
    If I click update apps it'll just disable my account. Even on my Mac App store same thing happening.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

  • HT4356 I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I've verified everything. Th phone gets WIFI from AT&T. Computer's WIFI through Netgear, Charter.  How do I resolve this?

    I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I have newest phone operating system, and the phone is air print enabled.
    The phone gets WIFI from AT&T.  My computer, to which my printer is wirelessly connected, gets WIFI from Charter Communications and a Netgear router. 
    That must be the problem.  How do I resolve that?

    For Airprint to work your iPhone and printer must be on the same local network. Your printer must support Airprint (see here for list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356).
    Can you connect your iPhone to the Netgear router WiFi?

  • 3rd Gen. iPod -- can't mount with FireWire, can't restore

    When my 3rd gen. iPod is plugged into an Apple computer by USB, it mounts but it won't charge. When it's plugged in by Firewire, it charges but won't mount.
    When it's plugged into a Windows computer by Firewire, it charges but won't mount. When it's plugged in by USB, it doesn't charges and doesn't mount.
    This was tested using multiple cords with the same results.
    The problem seems to be with the software currently installed on my iPod. But I cannot restore the software in OS X, because the iPod won't mount with Firewire (which is necessary for a restore). And I can't restore it in Windows because it won't mount at all (I think it's because I originally formatted it on an Apple).
    What can I do?

    I am having the same problem with my 3rd generation iPod. I've made several posts here just to discover MANY more with the same problem.
    I did get one reply that was helpful:
    There is a cable available through the apple store
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/2.RSLID?mco=5 2A56EB0&nplm=M9688G%2FA
    It plugs into the bottom of your iPod and has two cords: 1 firewire and 1 USB. Plug both cables in to their respective ports and you have a fully functioning iPod.
    This is a klunky fix but it works and is cheaper than a new iPod.
    I'm guessing that the June update screwed up the way our iPods communicate to their host computers, knocking out firewire.
    Two years ago I had a 1st generation iPod that crashed after an update. Fortunately I had an extended warranty and was able to get a new one at no charge. Interestingly, there was another update that would have fixed the older iPod. I'm hoping for another update like that.
    I can hardly believe that Apple would be so sinister as to sabotage everyones iPods in order to get them to buy new ones but it sure feels like it.
    It looks like its time for a sixth 'R' !
    Thanks!

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • External Drive does not mount with Firewire but is ok with USB !

    Since 10.4.4 my external drive is no more recognized using firewire, but it mounts perfectly with USB
    Using FW request me to reinitialize the disk, but then, the apple disk utility it is unable to reformat!
    then I unplug FW , sets USB and everything is ok!
    I connected the drive to my old IMac G4 700 and evrything is fine, FW and USB, using the same drive, using the same cable. I did repeat the test many times it is always ok with the old mac and it never mounts with FW on my newer Ibook.
    I did reset the openfirmware but that was not successfull!
    Then I brought both iBook and the faulty Drive to a friend (he owns a powerbook and also an external drive)
    we verified that my drive does not mount on his powerbook G4 12" using FW and is ok with USB.
    Then he tried his external drive and was very surprised to find the same fault with his drive and his PB using FW. (as for me everything is ok with USB!)
    We are both very puzzled, our drives did work well before, (before 10.4.4 , and 10.4.5 did not improve!)
    and now, with firewire,disks never mounts..
    In addition I tried with the same cable to alternatively start, using the target mode, the ibook and the imac. For each test they were both recognized as external drives as they should..
    So to try to sum up
    - Disk mount ok with USB (1 or 2)
    - Disk is no more recoknized with FW (but it was before with the exact same hadrware)
    - FW Cable seems to be ok as targuet mode works properly
    has anybody any idee?
    It would be very munch appreciated..
    thanks a lot for having read this long post..

    Hi Andre, I can't remember except to say that it was mounting fine with tiger and I was able to copy files to it for backup purposes.
    I just hooked it up to a PC and windows tells me the drive is not formatted. That's not a good sign, and this was stupid: I think I had the drive hooked up to my Mac Pro during the upgrade.
    Idiotic, granted. But this was an upgrade, not a full install and I maybe was trusting in Apple's ability not to do extraneous stuff during an install like windows does. Oh well...
    I appreciate any further ideas. Many Thanks, Frank.

  • Can't print with user but can with local admin

    Hello All,
    I'm a Windows admin learning how to support Macs in a 2003 AD environment. Here's my problem. I have a Windows 2003 AD Domain and an office of Mac clients running OSX 10.3.9. I'm using AdmitMac version 1 to connect the Mac's to AD. There's been previous problems with Mac machines dropping from the AD domain. A quick fix of this problem involves re-adding the affected machine back to the AD via the Admitmac utility. A long term fix of this problem will be an upgrade to Admitmac version 3, but that's down the road.
    Anyway, when 1 client lost its AD authentication, adding the machine back to the AD caused the local user profile to not be able to print to the shared network printer anymore. Printing works when logged in as the local admin on the Mac, but not as the user. I've tried giving the user admin rights, reconnecting the printer, and re-adding the machine to the domain. All of this has not helped the situation.
    Does anyone have any ideas for a possible fix?
    Thanks and sorry for the long winded post.

    USB printers are a pain.. it might not work at all from windows.. that is just the reality.
    USB printers are local printers that plug into your computer.. save your $50.. and the cost of the next couple of sets of ink cartridges or toners and go and buy a network printer. ie one that is designed to work in a network.
    If you want to pursue this..
    1. How did you name the Express.. and its wireless?
    Names should all be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. What printer is it? If you plug it in via USB to the computer does it work?
    3. Once you have it working plugged into the computer change it to print to IP of the airport express and see if that works.
    You can do this without bonjour..
    See this video for example of setting up printing to Extreme (same thing) by printing directly to the TCP/IP port.

    It is windows 7 but 8 should be much harder .. naturally MS took away the easy access to everything .. but it is still there for the most part.
