Issues with external mounting after pysdm removed
- by K. R. Huard
So, I'm very new to ubuntu. I was having troubles getting my external hard drive to be read/write permission. It's owner is my macbook, and writing on the drive was repeatedly denied. In trying to sort this out, I tried the Nautilus commands (no success), installed the PYSDM application, changed some things (as suggested by this user in this forum http://askubuntu.com/a/113992 )but then found that I was getting an error message whenever I tried to mount an external storage device.
The error is:
Unable to mount DERPSTICK
error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [mntent]: line 14 in etc/fstab is bad
mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc1/ on /media/sdc1
Others with similar problems put their fstab up here, but I'm not sure how to bring it up, or if I should even try.
Thanks for your time!
