I have an external Seagate 320 gig hard drive, USB mouse plus a PC Line external floppy drive attached to my Packard Bell laptop. The Seagate is fine, so is the mouse but the floppy,although appearing on the desktop gives this error when I try to read a floppy disk;
Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist
Can anyone tell a total newbie what that means?

| I had that error too with Kanotix-2006-01. Maybe you can mount the drive manually:
Code:
su
mkdir /media/usbfloppy
mcedit /etc/fstab
Insert the following line:
Code:
/dev/sda /media/usbfloppy vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
Replace "sda" with the drive's label, if the label isn't "sda".
Code:
mount -a

mount -a
is for "auto" lines only. does nothing for "noauto". |

Hi guys, no joy. When I ran "mcedit /etc/fstab" the screen I got did not allow me to enter anything. Could it be done by editing the /ect/fstab via Kate? Also, anyone know how you change the default timeout in GRUB from the defalut 5 seconds?

after
sux
you can use any editor. |
