Can't write to external hd

[oldgeek]

Back to the main problem. Here's the output to the findmnt command:

I hope I did it right this time.

[oldgeek]

OK, I see it after changing the settings. Now, about that writing to an external hard disk problem...

[Snowhog]

I get nothing like that at all. Here's a screenshot of what I get when I push Go Advanced button after calling up a reply text box:

Click on Settings > General Settings > Message Editor Interface and select Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

[vinnywright]

one of your extensions is blocking it ,,,,,you can just type it ,,,,,, CODE] <paste hear>[/CODE] I left the first bracket [ off so you could see it .

I typed to fast the last time it should have been

cd /media/steve && ls -la

[Snowhog]

These are the ‘standard’ BB Code Icons in the Editor. I’ve circled the Code button. You don’t see anything like this?

[oldgeek]

OK, I'm doing that but there's nothing resembling a #, just 14 symbols looking suspiciously like emojis. I'm using a Spanish Latin American keyboard--does not make any difference? I don't think it should.

[Snowhog]

When you are typing a reply, click on the Go Advanced button. That makes the Advanced Editor available, and many more editing buttons will show. You should see it then.

[oldgeek]

I still can't see the bloody # key!

[oldgeek]

OK, I'll try again. Here's the output:

bash: cd: /mnt/steve/: No such file or directory

[Snowhog]

When you click + Reply to Thread or Post Quick Reply there are icon buttons immediately above the box you will type in. There is one that contains the # symbol.

[oldgeek]

I can't find the # button in this text box.

[vinnywright]

I redid the first step and got this:

steve@steve-desktop:~$ cd /media && ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 feb 2 2015 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 dic 7 19:15 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 feb 2 2015 .directory -> /etc/kubuntu-default-settings/directory-media
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 feb 2 2015 .hidden -> /etc/kubuntu-default-settings/hidden-media
drwxr-x---+ 5 root root 4096 dic 17 14:18 steve
steve@steve-desktop:/media$

OK next do

findmnt

and

cd /mnt/steve/ && ls -la

and pleas try to use the CODE tags ,,,,,at least for the "findmnt"

this is strange as NTFS dose not use linux file permissions ,,,,,do you use the drive on a windows box as well ?

VINNY

[oldgeek]

I redid the first step and got this:

steve@steve-desktop:~$ cd /media && ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 feb 2 2015 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 dic 7 19:15 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 feb 2 2015 .directory -> /etc/kubuntu-default-settings/directory-media
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 feb 2 2015 .hidden -> /etc/kubuntu-default-settings/hidden-media
drwxr-x---+ 5 root root 4096 dic 17 14:18 steve
steve@steve-desktop:/media$

[vinnywright]

OK so the drive is formated NTFS .

my bad on the ls command (surprised no one corrected me) it should have been ,,,,,,,

cd /media && ls -la

I forgot the leading / .

as to the code tags ,,,,,when you are typing in this text box ,,,right above it their is a button with # ,,,click it it will insert the code tags ,,you paste the output directly in between them ,,,,CODE]<text goes hear>[/CODE] I skipped the first bracket so you could see it ,,,,,if I did not it would have been displayed like this

<text goes hear>

as to USB-2 ver USB-3 ,,,it will still work ,,,it's just that USB-3 has faster transfer(read/write) speed.
