error/message: the disk drive for /home is not ready... when connecting an external hard drive
- by seallussus
i am running Ubuntu 10.04 all updated installed to date (3/28/2012) and when i connect another sata HD i get this message
the disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present
continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
so i press S but i get this message
could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority
And when a press close i get this
there is a problem with the configuration server (/usr/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
And when a press close i get message
Nautilus could not create the following required folders :/home/username/desktop,/home/username/.Nautilus before running Nautilus, please create these folders or set permissons such that Nautilus can reach them
And finally when a press Ok at the last message it disappears and i get a blank screen with a lot of colors on it and with nothing else so i shutdown (power button ) and disconnect the HD and boot without problems so how to fix this in simple commands
because i am a total Linux noob
notes
-In the original error my username was in place of username i wrote (did not want to confuse anybody )
-I tried searching for this problem but a got a lot of different answers and most of
them were really complicated to me and not working
-I got a data HD connected and working without problems also the HD i installed Ubuntu on is Sata (maybe it helps)
-Apologize for me bad English its not my mother language
